Alex Saenz is a Millionaire at Age 23 Because, Despite his Hardships, He Always Tried to Work Harder and Do More

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / Hardships during our childhood years often have a long and profound impact on our lives. Alex Saenz experienced a childhood full of difficulties and hardship that he was able to overcome and become the person he is today. Instead of letting it get him down, he used it as fuel to achieve his dreams.

"I grew up in West Phoenix from very humble beginnings. I lived in a trailer park from the age of 13-18. During the ages of 13-18, my parents divorced and I dealt with a lot of emotional and mental issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness and abandonment. Having felt all this, I worked my butt off in high school and graduated with a 4.2 GPA." recounts Alex.

With this kind of GPA, Alex had the opportunity to go to plenty of elite colleges. Instead, his interest was piqued by real estate investing. Though he had very little money in his bank account, Alex wanted to achieve his goal of making six or seven figures, so he began his venture into real estate.

"At the time of jumping into real estate, I had less than $500 in his bank account. This was money I had saved up from working at a grocery store pushing carts where I only made $7.50 an hour from pushing carts. Having no emotional or financial support, I dove into real estate head first by door knocking and putting signs out on street corners. It took me nine months to get my first real estate wholesale deal. During this time, my mom moved to Nevada, which was 18 hours away. I then had to move into my friend's house and work out of my friend's little brother's room, which was Spiderman themed. I started to dig deeper and work harder by marketing for real estate deals." States Alex.

Though these months were difficult for Alex, like before, he pushed through it and finally made his first closing. This first deal changed everything for Alex. He was only 19 and had already closed a sale and quickly began closing other sales. He began to expand his team and hire other agents to help build his business and close more sales.

"Having closed my first real estate deal by January 2016, I took off in real estate. I was 19 when I closed my first real estate deal! In 2016, still at the age of 19, I closed 12 real estate wholesale deals for $120,000 in revenue. Keeping living expenses low, I invested nearly everything back into business. I hired two sales guys to help hunt down more real estate deals, by 2017, the real estate company grew to five total team members!" exclaims Alex.

Alex has never looked back since beginning his journey. His business took off and he was able to create his real estate business All in Entrepreneurs with his two partners: Carlos Reyes and Sal Shakir. He also has started creating youtube videos in which he shares his life story and ways to help others learn the tricks of the real estate trade.

"In 2017, my company closed 62 deals for $615,000 in revenue with more than 60% profit margins. This was all done at 20 years young. In 2018, being 21, I continued to grow my real estate company and Co-Founded ALL IN ENTREPRENEURS with his partners Carlos Reyes and Sal Shakir. In 2018, Over 100 deals were closed, and it was the first 7 figure year in business and I was only 21. Fast forward to 2020, I have closed over 300+ deals with my 7 figure real estate acquisition firm." states Alex.

Though Alex has faced numerous challenges, he has worked hard to overcome them and achieve his goals. He has always had a good mindset, which has helped him come as far as he has at such a young age. In the future, Alex hopes to keep expanding his real estate business as well as continue pioneering his new solar power company.

"I am a millionaire now, currently 23 years old, building more companies, earning 6 figures monthly through real estate, and consulting solar and SAS (tech/software) companies. I am most excited to help others overcome poverty, bad programming and helping younger entrepreneurs achieve success at a young age!" Remarks Alex.

On February 17, 2020, the Company presented at the Noble Capital Markets' 16th Annual Small & Microcap Investor Conference.
On March 10, 2020, Imagin reported ongoing market research feedback on its i/BlueTM Imaging System, which focused on the i/Blue's ability to display side-by-side white and blue light images simultaneously, which would enable real-time cancer visualization during resection.

On May 14, 2020, Imagin reported on its response to COVID-19, including expense reductions and cost structure improvements to extend Imagin's cash runway.

"During the quarter, we focused on adapting our business to align with the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and put several initiatives in place to extend our cash runway," said Jim Hutchens, Imagin's President and CEO. "Our focus remains on advancing the i/Blue Imaging System toward commercialization, and we are looking forward to using our new functional units to demonstrate the system's features and performance via virtual meetings with investors, urologists and key opinion leaders. While we await resumption of normal clinical device study activities – which would allow us to proceed with our planned first-in-human studies of i/Blue – we will continue to explore alternative in vivo study options."

Summary Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Financial Results

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $1,837,890, compared with $970,745 for the same quarter in 2019, and consisted primarily of research and development ("R&D") and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses. R&D expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $1,207,381 compared with $439,404 in the same quarter in 2019. The increase in R&D was primarily attributable to the work performed by outsourced design and engineering, regulatory, U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), legal and quality consultants for the design and development of the i/Blue System and associated FDA and regulatory plans. G&A expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $351,767, compared with $420,505 for the same quarter in 2019. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to a $29,857 and $50,457 decrease in business development and consulting, fees; partially offset by a $7,519 and $4,057 increase in legal & accounting and management fees, respectively.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,870,290, or $0.01 loss per common share, compared to a net loss of $926,070, or $0.01 loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Paice, Abell, and Daimler Agree to License Patented Technology

BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / Paice and Daimler have reached an agreement to license patented hybrid technology.

Paice was an early leader in electrified vehicles. The company was awarded its first hybrid vehicle patent in 1994, long before most automakers began seriously focusing on ways to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Paice's technology proved valuable and helped accelerate the growth of the hybrid vehicle industry. An independent analysis concluded that Paice owns the most dominant hybrid vehicle patents in the world.

"We've reached several licensing agreements in the past two years without the need for litigation. These agreements make a lasting impact in our community by supporting the good works of the Abell Foundation," said Paice Executive Chairman Frances Keenan.

During the company's early years, Severinsky worked closely with two experienced automotive veterans: Bob Templin, a Paice board member who had served as chief engineer of Cadillac and technical director of GM's Research Laboratory; and Ted Louckes, a 40-year veteran of General Motors who served as Paice's Chief Operating Officer and was instrumental in developing Paice's hybrid technology alongside Dr. Severinsky.

About Paice (www.paicehybrid.com)

Dr. Alex Severinsky, a Russian immigrant, founded Paice in 1992 with the support of the University of Maryland. The company has been awarded 30 U.S. and foreign patents. It has licensing agreements with many of the world's leading automakers.

About the Abell Foundation (www.abell.org)

The Abell Foundation, a Baltimore-based charitable organization dedicated to fighting urban poverty and promoting social objectives by investing in progressive local start-ups, is a co-owner of the Paice patents. Since 1999, Abell has helped support Paice's efforts to develop and promote its hybrid technology.

China Will Enact Hong Kong National Security Laws, Which May be not a Bad Thing for the United States

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2020 / This newspaper's correspondent in Beijing reported on May 28 that the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were held in Beijing on May 22. In the context of the global epidemic situation, this year's NPC and CPPCC have drawn particular attention from the outside world.

For the United States, the biggest concern is a legislative bill called Hong Kong national security laws: the Decision of the National People's Congress on Establishing and Improving the Legal System and Enforcement Mechanisms for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to Safeguard National Security, because it will be related to the U.S. policy towards China and the interests of U.S.-funded U.S. enterprises in China.

It is reported that this bill is not based on Hong Kong's "self-legislating" under Article 23 of Hong Kong's Basic Law, but is a bill empowered by the Constitution and the Basic Law and directly implemented by the National People's Congress on Hong Kong national security issues. The draft bill was submitted to the National People's Congress for deliberation and passed today (May 28).

According to the contents of the previously published bill, the bill will authorize the NPC Standing Committee to enact laws to prevent, stop and punish any act that seriously endangers national security, such as splitting the country, subverting the state power and organizing and implementing terrorist activities, as well as activities of foreign and overseas forces interfering in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The bill has aroused great controversy since its promulgation, but objectively, the enactment of the national security laws is a normal thing for a sovereign country. As a matter of fact, many Hong Kong politicians and businessmen believe that the national security legislation for Hong Kong is too late.

Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's former chief executive and now Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out that it has been 23 years since Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Due to various obstacles from the opposition, similar laws cannot be passed in Hong Kong, thus failing to meet the needs of national security. Under such circumstances, it is completely reasonable and legal for the NPC to plug the loopholes, and at the same time the NPC absolutely has the power to do so.

Leung said that in the past few years, the opposition has continuously attacked the bottom line of the Chinese Central Government, endangering the national security and causing negative effects in Hong Kong. "But almost every country and every society in the world, including the United States itself, as well as some Asian countries, such as Singapore, have laws in this regard", he said.

Take the United States as an example, there are dozens of existing laws related to national security, including the National Security Act of 1947, the Sedition Act, the Espionage Act, the Alien Enemies Act, the Protect America Act, the Homeland Security Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, etc. These laws are aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty, integrity, security and stability.

It should be pointed out that Hong Kong national security laws are against four kinds of acts, namely splitting of the country, subversion of the Chinese Central Government, intervention by external forces and terrorism. It is not related to the lawful assemblies, processions, lectures and religious activities of ordinary Hong Kong citizens, nor will it affect normal social and economic activities.

Therefore, Hong Kong national security laws are essentially a normal means for China to safeguard its own national interests, rather than a strategy of war with the United States. In the context of the global pandemic of the COVID-19, the United States is facing the severe challenges of the spread of the pandemic and the economic recession. Therefore, for the benefit of the American people, it is more important to focus on seeking international cooperation to combat the epidemic, instead of concentrating on matters that do not involve the core national interests of the United States. In fact, due to the huge amount of US investment in Hong Kong and its many benefits in Hong Kong, the legislation is conducive to Hong Kong's social and economic recovery and is of great benefit to US enterprises in Hong Kong.

Wong Yuk-Shan, deputy head of the Hong Kong National People's Congress delegation, said that since June last year, many violent incidents have affected the people's livelihood in Hong Kong, and the riots have continued for so long without any sign of stopping, causing great losses to the society.

Leung also pointed out that the Hong Kong version national security laws would not hinder foreign investors from investing in Hong Kong, nor would it hinder the freedom enjoyed by local residents according to law; in contrast, the existing national security loopholes in Hong Kong will affect Hong Kong's social stability, thus affecting Hong Kong's economic development.

Certainly, legislation is only the first step, and the key lies in the detailed rules and strength of law enforcement, which is also something we need to pay attention to for a long time. In summary, the United States should not be too sensitive or nervous about Hong Kong national security laws, but should seek win-win cooperation with China within the existing framework.

The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the Directors' Subscription in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities received by such parties nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalisation as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. The board of directors of the Company has approved the Placing, with Jim Mellon abstaining from voting.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION NOTICE: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Elanco Animal Health Incorporated and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class-action lawsuit against Elanco Animal Health Incorporated ("Elanco" or "the Company") (NYSE:ELAN) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company's securities between January 10, 2020 and May 06, 2020, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), are encouraged to contact the firm before July 20, 2020.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

We also encourage you to contact Brian Schall of the Schall Law Firm, 1880 Century Park East, Suite 404, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge. You can also reach us through the firm's website at www.schallfirm.com, or by email at brian@schallfirm.com.

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Elanco consolidated its distributors from eight different organizations to four, and then increased the amount of inventory held by each distributor. These distributors did not demonstrate a sufficient level of demand to sell through the increased inventory, leading to both a decline in inventory and the Company reducing its channel inventory. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Elanco, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.

The Schall Law Firm represents investors around the world and specializes in securities class action lawsuits and shareholder rights litigation.
