UTICA, MI / ACCESSWIRE / February 18, 2020 / Streaming services are not just a popular way to lounge on your couch with a bag of chips. They actually create jobs and allow new actors, producers, and directors to shine. In 2018, Netflix alone released 90 films for streaming, and this number is much higher when you factor in other services like Amazon Prime and Hulu. The brilliant actor Kristen Rose is one of those people whose talent has been recognized in the age of OTT platforms.

Rose starred in the Amazon Prime film 'My Alien Girlfriend,' which was released in 2019. She played the character of Karen and shone on screen.

Amazon Prime offers this summary for the movie:

"On the night of his Bachelor party, Joe has an Alien crash land in his back yard. With his fiancee becoming suspicious, can he get the Alien home before she finds out and cancels their upcoming wedding?"

Kristen was understandably excited when this opportunity came her way and feels that streaming services are partly responsible for her break in the industry, as well as her team at LA Talent.

She has been a part of other projects as well. In 2019, she played Jessie in the short film 'Driven Under'. It received a spot at the Golden State Film Festival, which will be held this year. She also starred in the flick 'Perfect', which was produced by Steven Soderbergh and directed by Eddie Alcazar.

"I chose to pursue acting because I love telling stories and connecting with people," Rose said. "I love embodying a character and bringing it to life. I wanted to be able to make people feel something."

Kristen just had another exciting career moment. She was ranked #111 on IMDB's 2019 Hot Actresses & Beyond List. She's part of an impressive lineup of many well-known names, including Natalie Dormer, Ruby Rose, Alexis Bledel, and Olivia Munn.

Kristen Rose is excited to see where her budding career goes. If she gets the opportunity, she vows to be a part of another film with Amazon Prime or any other streaming service. She admits to having had a stellar experience and feels that there's a good chance that OTT platforms are the future of movies.

UTICA, MI / ACCESSWIRE / February 18, 2020 / As far as inventions go, the car is perhaps the most revolutionary in the history of transportation. There is hardly anyone not attracted to these fascinating machines. Sergio Mariscal, veteran automobile expert, and aficionado understands this well and shares his passion for cars on ab exclusive platform that highlights the latest makes, models, and innovative features defining vehicles today.

Mariscal, a Mexican entrepreneur, and automotive journalist provides the latest news on all things related to cars on his site, CarGlobe.mx, and the TV show, Super Nave, which he hosts. He is a true insider, traveling to destinations around the world to test-drive the newest vehicles and to interview the key players and manufacturers behind the hottest vehicles.

Last year, Mariscal was front and center at the North American International Auto Show, held in Detroit, and was on hand to present the awards for the 2019 North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year. For the awards, the jury was made up of 60 automotive journalists.

Held January 14, the show attracted recognition from around the world. Among the nominees for the North American Car of the Year 2019, the Genesis G709 secured the award and stood out for its sporty, luxurious sedan look. Other contenders for the "Car of the Year" category include the Honda Insight and the Volvo S60/V60. In the Utility of the Year, the Hyundai Kona secured the award, while the RAM 1500 surpassed its competitors to be named the "Truck of the Year."

From Mariscal's perspective, the competition was highly competitive, but in the end, technological innovation and smart designs pushed the winners ahead of the race. The North American International Show is one of many auto industry events and awards show that he participates in, as well as shares all of the highlights with his international audience.

More recently, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray won the hearts of the jury in the Car of the Year category, followed by the Kia Telluride and the Jeep Gladiator in the Utility and Truck categories respectively during the 2020 North American Car, Utility and Truck Show, held in Detroit on January 13, 2020.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 18, 2020 / Hagens Berman alerts Green Dot Corporation (NYSE:GDOT) investors of today's deadline to move for lead plaintiff in a securities fraud class action pending against the Company and urges GDOT investors who have suffered losses to contact the firm immediately.

Class Period: May 9, 2018 – Nov. 7, 2019

Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Feb. 18, 2020

Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges Defendants misled investors concerning Green Dot's business and operations.

More specifically, according to the Complaint, Green Dot, CEO Steven W. Streit, and CFO Mark Shifke misrepresented and concealed that: (1) Green Dot's strategy to attract "high-value" long-term customers was at the expense of "one and done" customers; (2) Green Dot's "one and done" customers represented a significant source of revenues in its legacy segment; and, (3) consequently, Green Dot's business strategy was self-sabotaging.

The truth about Green Dot's failed business strategy was revealed over a series of disclosures beginning on Feb. 21, 2019, when Green Dot reported poor FY 2018 financial results, which drove the price of Green Dot shares down about 10% that day.

Then, on May 9, 2019, the Company disappointed investors when it slashed earnings guidance and announced it would be dramatically increasing spending on technology and marketing to attract new users. This news caused a massive 26% drop in Green Dot's share price.

On Aug. 8, 2019, Green Dot announced another guidance reduction due to a steep decline in legacy prepaid card product line and the Company's delay in launching its newest BaaS product. This news caused Green Dot's shares to plummet another 42%.

On Nov. 7, 2019, CEO Streit blamed disappointing financial results for the third fiscal quarter and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2019 on the continuing year-over-year decline of accounts in its active consumer business approximating 620,000 and revealed these were mostly "one-time use accounts." This news caused Green Dot's shares to plummet over 18% on Nov. 8, 2019.

On Dec. 18, 2019, Defendants announced that CEO Streit and CFO Shifke would be leaving their positions effective Dec. 31, 2019. This news drove the price of Green Dot shares down as much as 15% during intraday trading that day and prompted certain analysts to issue sell ratings.

Recently, on Jan. 14, 2020, a Seeking Alpha contributor published an article concluding, "Green Dot (GDOT) looks like a raging dumpster fire to me." The contributor observed (1) "loan delinquency is skyrocketing in a booming economy where other banks are reporting robust consumer behavior," (2) "GDOT's active accounts are declining (down 5% in Q3 '19) due to competitive pressure," and, (3) "[w]ith the sudden departures last month, investors should heavily discount GDOT's product road map."

If you invested in Green Dot between May 9, 2018 and Nov. 7, 2019 (the "Class Period") and suffered significant losses, you may qualify to be a lead plaintiff – one who selects and oversees the attorneys prosecuting the case. Contact Hagens Berman immediately for more information about the case and being a lead plaintiff.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Defendants misled investors about Green Dot's growth prospects, asset quality, and existing account metrics," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Green Dot should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Figment Performs Regularly in LA & Gets Ready to Share His Musical Inspirations with the World After Releasing the First Episodes of The Not Figment Podcast.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 17, 2020 / Figment is an electronic music producer based in Los Angeles. He turned to Instagram to announce the release of the first episode of his bimonthly podcast on January 20th, 2020.

To learn more about Figment, his original productions, live events and his podcast, visit https://www.instagram.com/notfigment/.

Figment will be curating music made and inspired by some of his favorite artists, and releasing it as part of a twice-monthly podcast which he will produce from his studio in Downtown Los Angeles.

"The podcast will let me share music that I live for… I've studied the work of some incredible producers in dance music history; OG disruptors such as Dopplereffekt, Burial, all the 90's UK Garage producers, The Hacker, and the Detroit Grand Pubahs to unique contemporary producers like Gesaffelstein, deadmau5, Eric Sneo, Billy Kenny, East End Dubs and more. Some special artists outside of dance music like Fiona Apple, Cannibal Ox, Chet Faker and Thievery Corporation inspire me so much too."

"I'll play new tracks from fresh artists that deserve the spotlight, classics from the entire history of the dance music catalog, and new original Figment tracks that I'll premiere for the first time on the podcast. I'm not constricted by genre or year – if the music is inspiring and unique, I tend to love it. Anyone who feels the same way will find inspiration in this podcast… or at least find music they love but didn't yet know existed."

Figment came to Southern California just over a year ago with no experience or connections and is entirely self-taught. Though he has intentionally remained under the radar, major promoters such as Insomniac (owners of Electric Daisy Carnival and Beyond Wonderland) took note of Figment's uniquely studious and authentic approach to electronic music, and he started getting gigs at some of the biggest clubs in LA including Academy in Hollywood (where Tiësto and MK will perform this Spring) and Exchange in Downtown L.A., where superstar dance music acts ranging from Dillon Francis to Chromeo perform regularly.

"My process is natural but I use some rare analog gear like the Evol Audio Fucifier. There were only 99 units ever made, and it has an unreal impact on drum sounds," Figment said, adding that "my brother lives in the African wilderness, he sends me field recordings of hyenas, crickets, elephants and other wild creatures. I fold these into my tracks to give them authentic tribal jungle vibes despite being electronically-based. I pay attention to these details because I want to make music that doesn't sound like it was just spat out of a computer, all boring and predictable and super wack."

Looking ahead to the rest of 2020, Figment said he is excited to share his inspirations & creations on the Not Figment Podcast every month and play at major music festivals to help expose even more people to his work, which he describes as "futuristic tribal electronic music that sounds mind-bending but celebrates everything about life, even the dark stuff."

About Figment:

Electronic music producer / DJ Figment grew up in Madrid, Spain and is now based in Los Angeles. This music producer has a beautiful studio full of rare modular synthesizers & analog equipment and prefers to let the music do the talking, though he has already performed at some of the largest nightclubs in Los Angeles. The "Not Figment Podcast" is available on iTunes and anywhere podcasts can be found. For more information or to subscribe, please visit https://www.instagram.com/notfigment/.

DETROIT, MI / ACCESSWIRE / February 17, 2020 / If you happen to pass across a billboard of Issa Fawaz Law, a 25-year-old lawyer purchased that using the judgment from one of his cases.

At his young age, Issa Fawaz is already an experienced successful attorney who is now handling his own law firm. Years of experience in the field of law has given him the opportunity to study the greatest trial and litigation attorneys of all time. He spent much of his time in undergraduate studies shadowing judges in their courtrooms spectating trial after trial. This exposure allowed him to fully grasp different litigation techniques and strategies.

To Issa, it doesn't matter whether he is up against an entire city, or even a Police Department – he has yet to be intimidated. He has already handled cases that total to over millions of dollars in such a short amount of time. Before that, he has worked as a public defender under supervision where he honed his litigation skills while helping those who could not afford an attorney. After taking the bar, he worked as a clerk and then as an attorney for a large personal injury firm when he received his passing results. With all these experiences and gained knowledge, he decided to go on his own.

Issa Fawaz is the Founding Partner at Issa Fawaz Law, PLC. The firm is committed to helping provide you with the best representation and legal assistance in automobile accidents, personal injury, business disputes, and commercial litigation.

However, it wasn't at all easy for Fawaz to get on the path to success. Just like most of us, he started from the bottom. It sounds unbelievable, but this brilliant man was denied admittance at Michigan State University College of Law. But Fawaz took it as a test. Some would go for other options but not him. He was determined to make it to MSU Law, and he did. He did it through an appeal that only had a 5% chance of reconsideration. He worked with counselors and mentors to assemble all that he expected needed to request his affirmation status, including retaking the LSAT, improving his score, and locking in to bring his GPA up in his last year of undergrad. He additionally tapped into his professional network.

Fawaz understands what it is like to need help and to be of help. His experiences did not only push him to work hard but to be more compassionate. Now, he is passionate to help other people fight for themselves and be in the place they need to be. And according to Fawaz, "If the person you're talking to says no, then you're just talking to the wrong person. There are people out there who want to build and grow together, and who actually want you to be the best version of yourself, you just have to find them." He continues, "I've honestly just been doing whatever I can to be the person I want to be – if you don't take the risks, you can't create a future."
