Nephrologist-chef Dr. Blake Shusterman to be featured in Kidney Kitchen videos and recipes, and at AKF events

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2020 / The American Kidney Fund (AKF) today announced a partnership with Dr. Blake Shusterman, a Greenville, South Carolina-based nephrologist and cooking enthusiast who, as The Cooking Doc®, produces cooking and nutrition videos to inspire his patients and others to enjoy healthier, kidney-friendly alternatives to foods that are traditionally laden with fat and sugar.

The Cooking Doc's videos and recipes will be featured on AKF's Kidney Kitchen™ website, an award-winning comprehensive nutrition education resource and one of the leading nutrition sources for people at all stages of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. In addition, "Dr. Blake" (as his patients call him) will participate in select AKF events, kicking off with a Facebook Live event on June 19 at 1:30 p.m. (Eastern) on AKF's Facebook page for a Q&A discussion about the challenges of renal nutrition.

"Dr. Blake's contagious enthusiasm for healthy eating and his deep knowledge of treating obesity, diabetes, and all stages of kidney disease are a powerful combination that complement our goal with Kidney Kitchen of putting the joy back into food for kidney patients," said LaVarne A. Burton, AKF president and CEO. "We look forward to the positive impact of our collaboration with The Cooking Doc on kidney patients across the country."

In his practice with Carolina Nephrology, Dr. Blake observed that one of the greatest hurdles for patients to change their daily habits is in finding foods that taste as good as the fast and processed food they have grown accustomed to consuming. Knowing that his patients could not switch from eating burgers and fries to a healthy meal of rice and vegetables overnight, he decided to leverage his other passion–cooking-to help.

"Changing how patients think about food and experience it was the impetus behind The Cooking Doc and my #changeyourbuds movement," said Dr. Blake. "I am looking forward to collaborating with the American Kidney Fund to help people fall in love with food that doesn't just taste good but is good for them, while observing their health improve in the process."

AKF and The Cooking Doc will collaborate to produce new content for Kidney Kitchen and partner for virtual events including Facebook Live cooking demonstrations and nutrition webinars. As an "AKF Nutrition Ambassador," Dr. Blake will join the organization's team of subject matter experts who contribute and review Kidney Kitchen content to ensure it is accurate and appropriate to meet patient dietary and educational needs.

To explore Kidney Kitchen, visit Kitchen.KidneyFund.org. The website is intended for educational purposes only. Every individual's dietary needs are different, so all patient and caregiver questions should be directed to a health care professional.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2020 / Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action has been filed on behalf of investors that purchased or acquired the securities of Carnival Corporation ("Carnival" or the "Company") (NYSE:CCL) between September 26, 2019 and May 1, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased Carnival securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options, please visit Carnival Shareholder Class Action or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll-free at (877) 779-1414 or MGuarnero@bernlieb.com.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) the Company's medics reported increasing events of COVID-19 illness on the Company's ships; (2) Carnival had violated port of call regulations by concealing the amount and severity of COVID-19 infections onboard its ships; (3) in responding to the outbreak of COVID-19, Carnival failed to follow the Company's health and safety protocols developed in the wake of other communicable disease outbreaks; (4) by continuing to operate, Carnival ships were responsible for continuing to spread COVID-19 at various ports throughout the world; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On April 16, 2020, when the Company still had at sea two (2) of its cruise ships, Bloomberg Businessweek published an article titled "Carnival Executives Knew They Had a Virus Problem, But Kept the Party Going." In that article, it was revealed that Carnival may have failed to adequately protect passengers from COVID-19 on a series of cruise voyages, and indeed continued to operate new cruise departures despite its knowledge that the threat posed by COVID-19 had materialized on its ships and was likely to proliferate further. On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.53 per share from a prior close of $12.38 per share to close at $11.85 per share on April 16, 2020.

Then, on May 1, 2020, The Wall Street Journal published an article titled "Cruise Ships Set Sail Knowing the Deadly Risk to Passengers and Crew." That article detailed how cruise ships, particularly Carnival ships, facilitated the spread of COVID-19, and provided new facts on early warning signs Carnival and its affiliated cruise lines possessed and the Company's disclosure failures. Further, the article also noted that The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure had requested documents from Carnival related "to Covid-19 or other infectious disease outbreaks aboard cruise ships" and that testimony from a separate investigation in Australia revealed that Carnival and its affiliated cruise lines may have misled shore officials by concealing those exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms before docking. On this news, the Company's share price fell $1.97 per share from a prior close of $15.90 per share to close at $13.93 per share on May 1, 2020.

If you purchased Carnival securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options, please visit https://www.bernlieb.com/cases/carnivalcorporation-ccl-shareholder-class-action-lawsuit-stock-fraud-274/apply/ contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll-free at (877) 779-1414 or MGuarnero@bernlieb.com.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 27, 2020. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.

Since 1993, Bernstein Liebhard LLP has recovered over $3.5 billion for its clients. In addition to representing individual investors, the Firm has been retained by some of the largest public and private pension funds in the country to monitor their assets and pursue litigation on their behalf.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2020 / DIGATRADE FINANCIAL CORP (OTC PINK:DIGAF), www.DigatradeFinancial.com, a financial technology services company, today announced that its subsidiary, Securter Systems Inc. ("Securter") continues development of secure on-line patent-pending fintech security assets with strategic progress, specifically, the launch of our pilot to our customers is imminent. In preparation, our team is developing marketing and sales roadmaps to secure our success and our technical team is working diligently with our Payment Service Provider ("PSP") completing critical technology integration. We have received all the necessary data reference points for the ecommerce account set up to process online real-time payment transactions, including developer guides, Application Programming Interface "API", Software Development Kits "SDK's" and our Intuitive Transaction Monitoring Portal "ITMP"

Director of sales and partnerships; Rishon Talkar stated: "The silver lining of a global timeout for many business owners is the opportunity to rethink and refine their business. For an entrepreneur to bounce back and thrive, acceptance and mutation is key, delayed decision making can lead to a death blow in this new world. Environmental, technological and regulatory changes have disrupted business as we know it. I see this every day, merchants who once said no, called back and signed up. A business can't afford to stay behind. Partners on the other hand need to promote new technology to sell, otherwise there isn't much of a conversation they can have with merchants, as other expansion plans may have paused."

Day-to-day activities face hard limits including in-store customer capacity and customer business interaction is becoming less personal – in summation; few aspects of the pre Covid19 business model remain unscathed. Especially prone to innovation is the medium through which commerce is conducted, a lowest common denominator for all business, money. Natural selection has marginalized the exchange of paper money and for the first-time end-of-life for this tender is conceivable. Payment processing and ecommerce platforms have been integrated to minimize both merchant-costumer contact and fraud. Securter is providing these merchants with an omni-channel and seamless payment experience, whilst providing their customers with the personalized experience and security that they have come to expect. Securter's CEO, Steve Epstein stated "our team is focused on delivering to merchants and their customers a safe, secure & cost effective on-line transaction experience. Beyond that, we are developing solutions that address the needs and requirements of businesses as they adjust to new and onerous protocols to maintain public safety as they re-open."

In addition, Securter Systems Inc "SSI" today provides the results of its recent shareholders meeting: All items put before shareholders where unanimously approved. All Board members and Officers were re-elected for the ensuing year.

Demand for gummy vitamins for immunity strengthening properties during the pandemic, will help in partially mitigating losses in the industry. Inventory management strategies will remain critical during the crisis.

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2020 / Increased importance being given to preventive healthcare is a prominent influencer aiding the growth of gummy vitamin consumption. However, disruptions in the food and beverage industry coupled with the temporary closure of production facilities during regional and nationwide lockdowns will impact producer and retailer inventories, which will have a negative impact on the gummy vitamins market throughout the pandemic.

The popularity of nutraceuticals as immune system strengtheners during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will help to reduce losses arising from these disruptions. Consequently, the global gummy vitamins market is projected to expand at 5.5% CAGR through the forecast period (2019-2029).

"Gummy vitamins are consumed widely across age demographics, owing to easier swallowability in comparison to pharmaceutical pills. In addition, the rise in chronic diseases across North America and Europe has helped to build up the demand for gummy vitamins in recent years. Consequently, issues of dysphagia will contribute to growth of the gummy vitamins market after the coronavirus crisis comes under control," says the FACT.MR analyst.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2020 / GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (TSXV:GPV)(OTCQB:GPVRF) ("GreenPower"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of zero emissions electric powered vehicles serving the cargo and delivery, transit and school bus markets, has announced that Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA) has deployed its initial delivery of six EV Stars for its new on-demand micro transit service in which customers use a smartphone app to request shuttle rides within a designated area.

GreenPower's EV Star equipped with curb-side lift and configured for micro-transit operations.

AVTA operates a fleet of approximately 100 buses and services a population of just under a half million residents in the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale as well as other portions of Los Angeles County. In 2016, the Agency was the first to announce a commitment to transitioning 100% of its fleet to zero emissions battery-electric vehicles. The EV Stars sold to AVTA were previously on lease to Green Commuter, North America's largest all-electric vanpool fleet operator.

Brendan Riley, President of GreenPower commented, "AVTA is one of the most advanced transit systems in the country and this use case is another great example of how the EV Star fits ideally within this emerging trend toward transit footprints that are smaller, cleaner, more nimble and more efficient. In addition, this deployment highlights our ability to put EV Stars on the street during a challenging time. We are seeing this Uber-like transit model gain momentum as operators seek ways to provide the solutions necessary to support their local economies in a safe and efficient manner relative to the big, crowded city buses of old. It is an honor that a leader like AVTA chose GreenPower's EV Star to fulfil this need."

GreenPower has leveraged its flagship EV Star Platform with four distinct models serving the cargo, delivery and micro transit markets. The EV Star is the only bus in its class that comes with a standard J1772 level 2 and CCS DC fast combo charge system, allowing for optimal flexibility in route planning for any duty cycle. The bus is eligible for a base voucher of $90,000 from the California HVIP program and an additional voucher of $10,000 when the vehicle is operated in a disadvantaged community.
