GBB Drink Lab Sends a Cease-and-Desist Demand

GBB Drink Lab

McapMediaWire -- GBB Drink Lab (“GBB” or the “Company”), a maker of the world’s first formulated drink that aids in rapid blood alcohol detoxification has issued a cease-and-desist demand to FSD Pharma (NASDAQ: HUGE) (“FSD”) a publicly traded biotechnology company that operates in the pharmaceutical research and development business. GBB has a patented formula that accelerates the process of converting alcohol to sugar in the body. By enhancing the metabolic pathways that facilitate this process, the formula can help the body clear alcohol much faster than normal. The Company has been working on a proprietary drink for several years using its patented formula. FSD Pharma entered into a binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with GBB. The companies had ongoing discussions about an acquisition for many months that GBB has since terminated. Mr. John Gulyas, Co-Founder of GBB Drink Lab, met with FSD and its principals over many months and shared proprietary information with the company that included without limitation, information created and developed by the company relating to composition, formulation, and methods of using the composition and formulations for reducing the effects associated with alcohol consumption in drink and other edible and nonedible forms. Per the cease and desist letter sent to FSD, "Not only has FSD and its principals committed fraud by way of wrongfully inducing GBB Drink Lab into providing the Product and other confidential information, but FSD and its principals have also committed multiple breaches of the Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) reverse-engineering the Product and/or other confidential information provided, in violation of Section 3 of the Agreement; and/or (ii) wrongfully asserting dominion over the Product and/or other confidential information (and all intellectual property rights pertaining thereto) by using such information to launch FSD’s recently announced Program”. Mr. Jarrett Boon, Co-Founder and CEO of GBB Drink Lab, states that “FSD Pharma has violated the NDA, developed a product using the Company's formula, trade secrets, methods, and has used the stolen information to gain investors for its own stock. GBB is aggressively taking legal action against the theft of its confidential information and has demanded that FSD halt its product from being launched”. Further evidence is supported that FSD Pharma has publicly announced the launch of a new research and development program targeting unmet medical needs for alcohol misuse. FSD Pharma has also announced the addition of Shark Tank investor and pitchman Kevin Harrington, and former Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) CEO Gerry David to its Advisory Board to help commercialize its efforts. GBB has demanded that "FSD immediately cease and desist the program, including, but not limited to, use of all confidential and/or proprietary information provided by GBB Drink Lab relating thereto." About GBB Drink Lab GBB Drink Lab started with a vision of making a positive impact by offering practical, evidence-based solution to reducing Blood Alcohol Content. The company’s product has been meticulously crafted to optimize your ability to sober up thus enabling you to escape an inebriated state. GBB Drink Lab leadership team includes accomplished serial entrepreneurs, a former senior executive from one of the world’s largest beverage companies, and an industry-leading expert in flavoring science and product formulation.

Leading Psychologist Explains Why Teaching Kids to Manage Stress is Key to Overall Wellbeing

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

If a child is not sleeping or eating well, irritable or anxious, these could be early signs of mental health challenges ahead. “Teaching children about stress and how to manage the stress response is an important way of developing emotional intelligence, building resilience, and preventing future physical and mental health problems,” said Dr. Michele Nealon, Psy.D., President of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. “Too many children experience daily stress related to pressures at school, problems with friends, separation or divorce of parents, personal illness or that of a family member, changes in their bodies, difficulty balancing school and extracurricular responsibilities, and more. There are also residual stressors from having lived through a pandemic that we know have had a very serious impact on children’s development. And sadly, too many children live with serious chronic stress as a result of poverty, food insecurity, homelessness and violence,” she added. Dr. Nealon, a clinical psychologist and mother of two, has just written an illustrated book for primary school children, “The Amazing Four’s Very Stressful Day,” in which four friends come together to learn about stress and how to manage it. Available now at Barnes and Noble, Dr. Nealon's book taps into her wealth of knowledge and experience about stress management to give parents and caregivers a tool to help children develop stress management skills. This book is the first in a series to educate adults and children about mental health wellbeing. “Even in young children, prolonged stress can trigger a cycle of emotion-regulation challenges, which can turn into anxiety, depression and behavior problems,” she said. "Parents and caregivers play a crucial part in helping children develop effective coping mechanisms. Through early identification and the creation of a supportive environment, adults can help children develop the skills needed for mental health wellbeing.” Dr. Nealon recommends the following t o help children understand and manage their own emotions and those of others: 1. Identify stress symptoms early. These can include emotional and physical signs such as withdrawing from people, slipping grades, or frequent headaches and stomach aches. 2. Practice coping skills, such as breathing, seeking support from others and positive thinking. These have immediate benefits and can also be used long-term for combat complex issues. 3. Strengthen the parent-child relationship. When parents understand and support their child’s stress management, it can foster trust, build resilience, and instill courage and confidence. “The U.S. Surgeon General and the American Academy of Pediatrics have declared a national child mental health emergency” said Dr. Nealon, “By addressing stress early, we can mitigate circumstances that contribute to this emergency and begin the long, difficult road to turning the mental health crisis around.” # About The Chicago School of Professional Psychology: Integrating theory with hands-on experience, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology provides education rooted in a commitment to innovation, service, and community for thousands of diverse students across the United States and globally. Founded in 1979, the nonprofit, regionally accredited university now features campuses in iconic locations across the country (Chicago, Southern California, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas) and online. To spark positive change in the world where it matters most, The Chicago School has continued to expand its educational offerings beyond the field of psychology to offer more than 30 degrees and certificates in the professional fields of health services, education, counseling, business, and more. Through its engaged professional model of education, commitment to diversity and inclusion, and an extensive network of domestic and international professional partnerships, The Chicago School’s students receive real-world training opportunities that reflect their future careers. The Chicago School is proud to be a part of TCS Education System, a nonprofit, integrated system of colleges and universities that works collaboratively to advance student success and community impact.

Finance News

The cryptocurrency market is showing strength as prices continue to surge, with many experts believing that the market is primed for its next bull market. As the global economic situation improves, several crypto projects with strong fundamentals and exciting use cases are ready to show explosive price growth. This article analyses the growth prospects of several exciting projects and reveals the 5 best cryptocurrencies to invest in this month. The Top 5 Cryptocurrencies To Buy Right Now in April 2023 Improving macroeconomic outlook in April 2023 will result in a strong price movement for the crypto market. Here are the 5 best coins to buy for the next bull run: Love Hate Inu (LHINU): Exciting new vote-to-earn meme coin with excellent potential. DeeLance (DLANCE): Brand new platform set to revolutionize the freelancing and recruitment industry. Ecoterra: Best climate-friendly crypto token with recycle-to-earn rewards Bitcoin: Largest cryptocurrency in the world, set for an explosive price surge after breaching $30K. Ethereum: Leading cryptocurrency and smart contract platform in the world. A Closer Look at the Best Crypto Bull Run Coins to Invest in this Month Let’s dive into the fundamentals and use cases that make these tokens the best cryptocurrencies to buy today. 1. Love Hate Inu (LHINU) - New Meme Coin That’s Raised Over $3.5m in Presale Love Hate Inu is an Ethereum-based vote-to-earn meme coin with a strong performance during its pre-sale and our pick for the best cryptocurrency to buy now. LHINU is quickly emerging as an alternative meme coin, with a stronger growth potential than Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. LHINU is the native crypto token of the Love Hate Inu platform. Love Hate Inu allows users to vote on a wide variety of topics, from trendy celebrities to politics to sports events, etc. Some of the exciting celebrities that Love Hate Inu users can vote for include Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kim Jong Un, Andrew Tate, etc. Moreover, Love Hate Inu incentivizes users to vote on its platform through its vote-to-earn mechanism. Users can earn $LHINU tokens and NFTs along with other exciting rewards for participating in Love Hate Inu surveys. Love Hate Inu’s use of blockchain technology offers it numerous advantages over other Web2 voting platforms. Twitter and Reddit polls are increasingly susceptible to bots, spam, and trolls. However, Love Hate Inu solves these problems through its stake-to-vote mechanism. Users will have to own a small amount of $LHINU to vote on the platform. Furthermore, the voting power of individuals will be determined by the amount and duration of their stake. This allows the creators of surveys to be confident about the authenticity of the voters. Businesses can use the Love Hate Inu platform to gauge public sentiment regarding potential ideas and products. $LHINU meme coin is catching the eye of investors due to its strong pre-sale price movement. It has already raised close to $4 million and is priced at $0.000105. However, the price is set to surge to $0.000115 in a day. The token will launch soon at the price of $0.000145. Users can buy LHINU by connecting their wallets and purchasing the token using ETH, BNB or USDT. LHINU’s bullish price surge and its exciting use case make it one of the best crypto bull run coins. Visit Love Hate Inu 2. DeeLance - New Crypto Freelancing Platform Looking to Rival Upwork DeeLance is a blockchain-based freelancing and hiring platform. Using smart contract technology and a blockchain ecosystem, DeeLance is reimagining the hiring and recruitment industry. $DLANCE is the native crypto token for DeeLance. It is showing excellent growth during its ongoing pre-sale. The DeeLance ecosystem will consist of four main components: a metaverse and NFT marketplace for all users, a freelancing platform and a job and hiring platform. The $DLANCE token will be utilized for all the platforms. The use of smart contract technology gives DeeLance a significant edge over other Web2 competitors such as Freelancer or Upwork. For example, DeeLance charges a minimal client fee of 2% and a freelancer fee of 10%. Platforms such as Freelancer, Upwork and Fiverr can charge fees as high as 20%. DeeLance’s other significant attraction is its instant payment withdrawal. Using the crypto payment mechanism, freelancers can get an instant withdrawal of their funds. On the other hand, platforms such as Freelancer require a minimum payout of $100. Furthermore, such platforms also charge a withdrawal fee that can range anywhere from 2.75% to 5%. DeeLance also uses escrow accounts to ensure the reliability of payment for its users. It also has a scalable dispute system that can help resolve any issues between freelancers and recruiters. $DLANCE is showing strong bullish sentiments during its pre-sale. The token has already raised $117,000 and is currently priced at $0.025. However, the price will surge to $0.029 within the next 4 days and will continue surging till the launch price of $0.053. Interested users can purchase $DLANCE from deelance.com using ETH or USDT. Users can also purchase the token via credit card on DeeLance’s partner platforms. DeeLance’s revolutionary use case makes it the best cryptocurrency to invest in now. Visit Deelance 3. Ecoterra - Eco-Friendly Token with Recycle-to-earn Rewards Ecoterra is one of the most futuristic crypto tokens in the world. It uses blockchain technology to incentivize individuals and companies to tackle climate change. Ecoterra is also playing a crucial role in changing the mainstream narrative around cryptocurrencies. One of the most damaging criticisms pertaining to the crypto industry is its energy-intensive and environmentally dangerous nature. Ecoterra’s environmentally friendly narrative is serving to improve the industry’s image among the general population. Ecoterra’s Recycle2earn application rewards users for engaging in eco-friendly activities. Users can scan the bar code of any recyclable item, upload an RVM receipt after recycling the product and earn Ecoterra as a reward. Each recyclable item equals a certain amount of the token. Ecoterra also provides a carbon offsets marketplace. The marketplace allows businesses to offset their carbon footprint and reduce carbon emissions. Its Recycled Materials marketplace allows businesses to purchase recycled products. The use of blockchain technology allows users and businesses to accurately measure their positive impact in a transparent manner. Ecoterra aims to expand its user base to not only include individuals and small businesses but also large corporations, NGOs, and even entire industries and governments. Ecoterra can be used by a wide variety of companies such as H&M, Coca Cola and The North Face. The Ecoterra token is showing a strong positive outlook during its pre-sale and is set for a bull run. The token has already raised over $600,000 and is very close to reaching its target of $800,000. It is currently priced at $0.004, which is expected to surge to $0.00475 within the next 6 days. The token has a listing price of $0.01. Users can purchase Ecoterra from its website using ETH, USDT or credit card. They can connect using either Metamask or the Trust Wallet App. Ecoterra’s ecological impact and strong price surge make it one of the best crypto bull run coins. Visit Ecoterra 4. Bitcoin The largest cryptocurrency in the world is set to explode as prices continue to surge. BTC has rallied over 80% in 2023 to breach the $30,000 mark for the first time after June 2022. The cryptocurrency has surged 9% in the last 7 days. Bitcoin prices are expected to continue their domination as the global economy is turning favorable for the crypto market. The recent banking crisis has raised concerns regarding the viability of the global banking system. Furthermore, the latest inflation data suggests that the US Federal Reserve can soon halt its interest rate hike. Bitcoin surged to its all-time high during the period of low interest rates and economic prosperity. With the next Bitcoin halving quickly approaching, Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency to invest in this month. BTC prices explode near and after halving events as demand increases and supply gets reduced by half. Bitcoin also has a favorable image amongst regulators. The US Securities and Exchanges Commission believes Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that can be regarded as a commodity. This will result in favorable regulation for Bitcoin and a certain price surge. 5. Ethereum Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency and leading smart contract platform, is showing extremely bullish sentiments. Ethereum is also receiving a strong boost from the improving macro environment. Ethereum has breached the $2k mark as prices surged by 5% in the last 24 hours and 7% in the last 7 days. ETH’s strong performance is surprising considering the Shanghai update on Wednesday. The Shanghai update allows validators to remove their staked ETH for the first time after the Ethereum Merge. Despite the sudden increase in supply, Ethereum continues to dominate the crypto market. ETH is also set to expand its utility as upcoming updates will increase its network capacity and allow Ethereum to have a faster network speed than Visa and Mastercard. Ethereum’s surge and upcoming upgrades make it the best cryptocurrency to invest in now. DISCLAIMER: This is not to be taken as investment advice.

Comcast Texas Commits More Than $1M to Shrink Local Digital Divide in 2023

Comcast Texas

Comcast Texas, the Houston area's largest internet service provider, will commit more than $1 million to shrink the local digital divide this year by supporting more than 60 organizations and programs that help people connect to the Internet, learn digital skills, and climb the economic ladder. The investment is part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive $1 billion initiative to advance digital equity across the nation and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. To help fuel economic mobility locally this year, a large portion of Comcast Texas’ $1 million investment will go to area nonprofit organizations to fund community programs with the following focus: Connectivity & Adoption, Digital Skills in the Workforce and Entrepreneurship. Connectivity & Adoption Connectivity programs equip individuals, families and community partners with the right tools and resources to take advantage of the Internet. Adoption programs teach individuals the skills needed to increase competency and confidence in technology in order to use it proficiently. Digital Skills in the Workforce Over 90% of jobs available today require digital skills, yet nearly one-third of US workers lack opportunities to build these skills. Digital skills programs teach individuals the tech skills needed to land a job and stay competitive in the changing marketplace. Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship programs focus on helping people build digital skills to launch and grow their businesses. “These investments are part of Comcast Texas’ ongoing commitment to provide people with the digital tools needed to succeed in this ever-connected world,” said Ralph Martinez, Comcast Texas’ Regional Senior Vice President. “As we expand our next-generation network across southeast Texas, we’re here to be good neighbors. We’re here to support and uplift the communities we’re honored to do business in by teaming up with trusted partners to invest in programs that make a difference.” The first round of Comcast Texas’ 2023 grant funding and other support to local organizations will be announced in May with more announcements made throughout the year. Additional support will be considered for local organizations that raise awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program. Internet Essentials provides affordable home Internet for qualifying households ($9.95/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $29.95/mo for up to 100 Mbps) — as well as low-cost computers, free WiFi hotspots, and free Internet training. The federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides qualified households with a credit of up to $30/mo towards internet and mobile services.
