Charlie’s Holdings Files Initial PMTA Submission for FDA Approval

Responsible And Regulated E-Cigarette Manufacturing And Rigorous Industry Standards Are Vital To Creating A Long-Term Product Portfolio

COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2020 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in both the premium, nicotine-only, e-cigarette space and the hemp-derived, CBD wellness space, is pleased to announce the filing of its initial Premarket Tobacco Application ("PMTA") submission with the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), as it remains committed to being a leader in responsible manufacturing and promoting the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

Today's submission marks the first of multiple applications that Charlie's Chalk Dust ("CCD") intends to take through FDA's approval process as it seeks to create a long-term, robust product portfolio.

"This is a day we've long awaited for in our industry," stated, Charlie's Holdings' Chief Operating Officer Ryan Stump. "After spending nearly $5 million over the past two years on our PMTA preparation and submission, we are extremely excited about the application we filed with the FDA. Today is a great achievement for our Company and will greatly benefit our customers, our partners, and our shareholders."

Mr. Stump, continued, "We strongly believe our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance is a huge differentiating factor for our Company. We feel that a significant amount of our competitors will not have the resources, desire, and/or expertise to complete the extensive and costly PMTA process and that once complete, we will be able to benefit from being one of only a select group of companies responsibly operating in the flavored nicotine product space."

All manufacturers of any newly deemed tobacco products, including e-liquid derived from tobacco, must seek authorization approval to sell such products in the United States. In an effort to satisfy the FDA's requirements, CCD chose to partner with Blackbriar Regulatory Services ("BRS"), experts in the tobacco products regulatory space, to create the roadmap for its PMTA submissions. Mr. Stump, expressed, "It made perfect sense for us to partner with such a reputable company in BRS, having worked so closely over the years with their leadership team and FDA registered manufacturing facility."

The FDA PMTA guidance asked brands to gain a deep understanding of public perceptions of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems ("ENDS") products and the behavior of ENDS users. BRS developed a novel research program consisting of a suite of interrelated studies designed to approach FDA's questions from multiple angles. When combined, the results provide a comprehensive picture of perceptions and behaviors around CCD's products and ENDS in general.

As a further measure to demonstrate the quality of our application, we are excited to say that we are also performing human clinical trials on our products to help detect the biomarkers of exposure associated with smoking combustible cigarettes and determine the nicotine delivery efficiency of the product via pharmacokinetic studies. A large team of doctors, scientists, biostatisticians, and data analysts are conducting these time intensive clinical trials. We believe that this kind of study will significantly set our application apart from those that are relying solely on the literature-based approach to this critical "in human" assessment of product performance.

"Charlie's was clear with us about their long-term strategy when we first started working with them several years ago," said, Russ Rogers, Chief Executive Officer at Blackbriar Regulatory Services. "They emphasized the importance of BRS having its manufacturing facilities and quality system exceed all FDA standards and fully appreciate the benefits they get from manufacturing in an FDA registered medical products facility. When we started discussing PMTA strategy options with Charlie's, they specifically wanted an approach tailored around quantifying what makes them unique in a highly competitive market space. AVAIL Vapor's recent announcement on the status of their PMTA submission by BRS must give Charlie's great confidence in the PMTA strategy that they chose to invest in." On August 11, 2020 AVAIL Vapor announced their initial application had been moved to the substantive scientific review phase of FDA's approval process. This further distinguishes the roadmap BRS has put together as superior to the others that have and will be submitted to the FDA.

"We are thrilled to see that Charlie's has remained so strongly committed to the regulatory process," said, James Xu, Chairman of AVAIL Vapor. "And we couldn't be more excited to continue our long-term partnership and shared passions with them as we all move forward in this new highly regulated industry."

Silver Range Options Nevada Project to Rush Gold Corp

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2020 / Silver Range Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SNG) ("Silver Range") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Definitive Agreement with Rush Gold Corp. ("Rush Gold") to allow Rush Gold to option the drill-ready Skylight Project ("Skylight") in Nevada.

Skylight is a low sulphidation epithermal prospect, located 60 kilometres northwest of Tonopah in the Royston Hills. Exploration work to date indicates that Skylight is a fully preserved, precious metal bearing epithermal system, the heart of which has never been drill tested.

Skylight is underlain by Oligocene ash-flow tuffs unconformably overlying Triassic Luning Formation carbonates and clastics. These rocks are cut by northwest-trending right lateral strike-slip faults and by subordinate north-striking steeply-dipping secondary normal faults splayed from the master faults. Skylight is centred on vent-proximal silica breccia and thinly laminated ponded silica indicating deposition at the very top of a hydrothermal cell in an epithermal outflow zone. The silica centres form several resistant hills extending approximately 800 m. Anomalous soil and rock geochemical responses in mercury, gold, silver and arsenic are associated with the silica. Silver Range conducted a three-dimensional induced polarization (3DIP) survey over a grid centred on the silica caps at Skylight. The survey defined a network of chargeability linears with a nexus centred beneath the region of the silica caps. Elevated gold, silver and arsenic values are directly associated with several of these linear chargeability anomalies. These linears are interpreted to be conduits feeding the hydrothermal system and may host high-grade vein-hosted precious metal mineralization.

Skylight drew no attention from early prospectors due to the lack of readily exposed gold or silver mineralization but was recognized as a significant target in the early 2000's by Rimfire Minerals Corporation and Newmont Mining. At the conclusion of their joint venture, Rimfire drilled 6 holes (1575 metres) on the flanks of the silica caps at Skylight in 2007. (Rimfire Minerals Corporation News Release – November 6, 2007). Intercepts were reported from three holes: 10.67 m @ 0.49 g/t Au; 3.05 m @ 1.766 g/t Au; and 3.05 m @ 0.608 g/t Au. This work was never followed up and the core of the system beneath the silica caps was never drill tested.

Transaction terms

Rush Gold can acquire a 100% interest in the Skylight Property over a three-year period by making cash payments totalling $320,000; completing an IPO by March 31, 2021; issuing 650,000 shares to Silver Range; and completing 3,000 metres of drilling. Silver Range will retain a 3% Net Smelter Return, 2/3 of which may be purchased by Rush Gold for $1,000,000 at any time prior to production. In addition, Silver Range will be entitled to receive a defined resource payment of US$4 per ounce of gold-equivalent Measured and Indicated Resources defined at Skylight to Canadian Institute of Petroleum Mining and Metallurgy standards for resource definition. If Rush Gold has not defined a resource to these standards on the property by the sixth anniversary of the Definitive Agreement, Silver Range shall be entitled to receive US$10,000 on the sixth and subsequent anniversaries until a resource is defined.

Silver Range is a precious metals prospect generator working in Nevada, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Silver Range has a portfolio of 23 active projects in Nevada. In total, the company has assembled a portfolio of 45 properties, 11 of which are currently optioned and being explored by partners. Silver Range is actively seeking joint venture partners to explore the high-grade precious metal targets in its portfolio.

About Todos Medical Ltd.

Headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB:TOMDF) engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. The Company's state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that deploys deep examination into cancer's influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos' two internally-developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos recently entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab and Provista's proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020.

Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer's disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain. In July 2020, Todos completed the acquired Breakthrough Diagnostics, Inc., the owner of the LymPro Test intellectual property, from Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AMBS).

Additionally, Todos has entered into distribution agreements with companies to distribute certain novel coronavirus (COVID-19) test kits. The agreements cover multiple international suppliers of PCR testing kits and related materials and supplies, as well as antibody testing kits from multiple manufacturers after completing validation of said testing kits and supplies in its partner CLIA/CAP certified laboratory in the United States. Todos has formed strategic partnerships with Meridian Health, Moto-Para Foundation to deploy COVID-19 testing in the United States.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2020 / Dialog Semiconductor plc (XETRA:DLG), a leading provider of battery management, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi(R) and Bluetooth(R) low energy and Industrial ICs, today announces the DA913X-A product family, a new line of highly efficient, high-current, automotive-grade, step-down DC-DC (Buck) converters.

The highly integrated DA913X-A devices require fewer external components than competing solutions, enabling a low system BoM cost and a reduced solution footprint. The devices operate at efficiency levels above 90%, reducing the thermal design challenges for powering high-current rails in a wide range of automotive systems, including infotainment, navigation, telemetry, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The DA913X-A family is comprised of three devices configured as single- or dual-output buck converters. The DA9130-A operates as a single-channel, dual-phase buck converter, delivering up to a 10 A output current. The DA9131-A integrates two single-phase buck converters, each delivering up to 5 A output current. The DA9132-A also integrates two single-phase buck converters, each delivering up to 3 A output current. All devices have an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and an output voltage range of 0.3 V to 1.9 V, making them suitable for a wide variety of low-voltage systems. Output voltages above 1.9V are supported with an external resistor divider.

"Dialog continues to introduce new PMIC solutions that meet the increasing power and thermal efficiency requirements of high-performance, in-cabin automotive electronics systems," said Tom Sandoval, Senior Vice President, GM Automotive Business Segment, Dialog Semiconductor. "Automotive system developers can rely on Dialog for the leading, cost-efficient, small-form factor, power solutions."

The DA913X-A products include several key features to meet the needs of today's complex automotive electronics systems:

Remote sensing guarantees the highest accuracy and supports multiple PCB routing scenarios without loss of performance.
Fully programmable soft start limits the in-rush current from the input to give a slope-controlled output voltage.

Virpax(R) Enters into an NIH Collaboration to Further Develop NES100 for Acute and Chronic Non-Cancer Pain

Announces CRADA with National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences

WEST CHESTER, PA / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2020 / Virpax® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Virpax"), a company specializing in developing pharmaceutical products for pain management, today announced that it has entered into a cooperative research and development agreement with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), an institute/center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This collaboration is for the continued development of Virpax's product candidate, NES100, an intranasal peptide, for the management of acute and chronic non-cancer pain.

NES100 is an enkephalin drug product based on a type of nanotechnology delivery approach. Enkephalin is a naturally occurring (endogenous) peptide that is not easily administered in its original form. We believe that the nanotechnology may enable and enhance the delivery of this metabolically labile peptide drug into the brain. NES100 is the first investigational product formulation delivered via the nasal route with the potential to enhance enkephalin transport to the brain. NES100 uses a preassembled device and cartridge to propel the enkephalin formulation through the nose to the brain by flowing along the olfactory nerve pathway. The Molecular Envelope Technology (MET) is designed to protect and help carry the drug to the brain with the goal of promptly suppressing pain by binding to the delta opioid receptors. NES100 has demonstrated analgesic potential in animal models without the development of opioid tolerance, withdrawal, respiratory depression, euphoria, or addiction associated with use of opioids.

Anthony P. Mack, Chairman and CEO of Virpax commented, "We are excited to announce this collaboration with NCATS and the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative as we believe that it may help Virpax develop an effective and safe alternative to conventional opioids used by patients to manage acute and chronic pain. The study will be led by Dr. Jeffrey Gudin, principal investigator, and co-founder of Virpax. We believe that the NIH/NCATS collaborative agreement will enable our team to maintain momentum in both our pre-clinical and clinical development strategies."

About Virpax Pharmaceuticals

Virpax Pharmaceuticals is focused on developing branded prescription products and providing more efficient drug treatments using its proprietary cutting-edge delivery technologies designed to satisfy unmet global market needs. Virpax's pipeline consists of non-addictive products being studied to manage musculoskeletal pain, post-operative pain and moderate to severe chronic pain. While Virpax is a market leader in the development of non-addictive pain management products, Virpax is also using its patented delivery technologies to develop therapies to manage PTSD, treat post-traumatic headaches, and also a technology to help prevent viral spread, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2.

Leading Criminal Defense Attorney Bryan Hershman Warns Against Pleading Guilty While Outlining Best Domestic Violence Case Strategies – Tacoma, WA

Top criminal defense lawyer Bryan Hershman founder at Bryan Hershman, Attorney At Law in Tacoma, WA, outlines important domestic violence defense strategies and warns against pleading guilty in a domestic criminal case. For more information please visit http://bryanhershman.com

Tacoma, WA, United States – August 31, 2020 /MM-REB/

In a recent interview, leading criminal defense lawyer Bryan Hershman founder at Bryan Hershman, Attorney At Law in Tacoma, WA, revealed the best domestic violence defense strategies and warns against pleading guilty in a domestic criminal case.

For more information please visit http://bryanhershman.com

When asked to comment, Hershman said, “Having domestic violence charges filed against you can come as a big blow. When going up against such serious allegations, hire a seasoned criminal defense lawyer who can help formulate the best defense strategy for your case.”

A great defense to deploy in a domestic violence case, according to Hershman, is to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence and the gathering of that evidence.

“One way to go about this is to prove the prosecutor – who carries the burden of proving the defendant’s guilt – lacks sufficient evidence. Frequently, the evidence presented isn’t enough, or is not sufficiently reliable for a domestic violence conviction to
be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Exposing and exploiting holes with the prosecution’s case can also help in revealing that a false accusation where no physical altercation took place, is easily brought, but is unlikely to be proven under the law if challenged aggressively by skilled defense counsel.

“Unfortunately, with the increase in domestic violence rates around the country comes an increase in false accusations. False allegations are often made when one partner stands to gain something in a divorce, such as winning a child custody suit or getting a larger settlement,” Hershman said.

He added that, “If this is the case, then you and your attorney could work toward building a defense by finding inconsistencies in legal arguments, testimonies, and police records and establishing a motive for a false accusation.”

Showing that the prosecution is attempting to convict the wrong suspect is another common defense strategy, according to Hershman.

“Your attorney will attempt to prove that you were far removed from the alleged physical incident. Providing a foolproof alibi by getting two solid witnesses to testify regarding your whereabouts is one of the best ways to do this,” he said.

Hershman added that the accused could also use technology to prove their innocence.

When asked to elaborate he said, “Another compelling way to prove your alibi is by providing photos of videos that have been time stamped showing you far away from where the alleged incident happened.” “Also, given the data produced by our electronic devices we carry everyday such as our phone, laptop, and/or tablet, a great deal of evidence can be obtained to prove the whereabouts of those items at any given time, and thus, their owner.”

All of this is why Hershman warned that pleading guilty or “no contest” at the outset will not only hurt your case, it may be impossible to resurrect it.

“Even with the best criminal defense attorney and the perfect defense strategy, your chance of reaching a positive outcome decreases significantly once you plead guilty to a domestic violence charge,” he said.

San Francisco, CA, United States – August 31, 2020 /MM-REB/

In a recent interview, criminal defense lawyer Daniel Vaswani, attorney at Red Metric Law in San Francisco, CA, revealed the 3 immediate next steps if being investigated for money laundering.

When asked for a comment, he said, “Not many people – including attorneys – fully understand what a money laundering case entails, particularly at the federal level. Here are the three things that you absolutely must do if involved in a money laundering case.”

If under investigation for money laundering, it’s vital to retain a seasoned attorney as soon as possible.

“There are very few capable federal defenders as many don’t take the time to learn what it means to be a successful federal defense attorney in money laundering cases. Because federal sentencing is often harsher than state sentencing, you should find someone who is well-versed both in felony and money laundering cases and who also has a good work ethic. It requires a bit of work to successfully defend someone in these cases,” he said.

Another important point for anyone involved in a money laundering case to adhere to, according to Vaswani, is to avoid getting into further legal trouble.

When asked to elaborate, he said, “Sometimes this is hard to do. The reason is that sometimes the investigation is so deep in your day-to-day life. You have to live by a very straight line, such as not drinking and driving and not picking up other state or federal offenses. If you do this, you’ll be operating in a way that’s beyond reproach.”

Vaswani mentioned that this holds true, even if someone is cooperating with the government.

“Sometimes, the federal government asks you to provide them with additional information because you’re potentially one of the targets in a bigger sting, so they may actually ask you to continue what you’re doing. If you’re cooperating, smaller offenses could potentially ruin all the hard work you did to earn some sort of relief from the government down the line.

Providing an attorney as much detail as possible can go a long way in reaching a more favorable outcome.

“Your lawyer can negotiate with the prosecuting attorney as what you’re going to potentially plead to, which can affect the range of time you’re going to be sentenced. So, initially, if your lawyer has enough information about you to convey to the prosecutor why you should plead to a crime with a lower term, that is hugely helpful.”

Vaswani emphasized that in federal cases, it’s also possible to ask the judge to deviate outside a predefined sentencing range for a more lenient sentence.

“In other words, you’re constantly preparing and giving your lawyer as many tools as possible as there are multiple instances when your lawyer can step in and help you. But you’ll need a lot of information to make that happen,” he said.

Leading Estate Planning Firm Haiman Hogue Reveal Medicaid Planning Advice On World Alzheimer’s Day – Arlington, TX

For World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21, estate planning lawyer Guy B. Garner, III, Senior Attorney at Haiman Hogue in Arlington, TX, details advice for Medicaid planning that many people are unaware of. For more information please visit https://www.haimanhogue.com

Arlington, TX, United States – August 31, 2020 /MM-REB/

In a recent interview for World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21, leading estate planning lawyer Guy B. Garner, III, Senior Attorney at Haiman Hogue in Arlington, TX, revealed advice for Medicaid planning that many people are unaware of.

For more information please visit https://www.haimanhogue.com

When asked to comment, Garner said, “It’s no secret that Alzheimer’s is a life-changing disease which requires the patients to receive round-the-clock professional care in a nursing home at some point.”

The great news, he said, is that many people are eligible for getting their nursing home expenses covered by Medicaid.

However, many people are unprepared to cover these expenses with Medicaid and other assets when their family members are stricken with advanced dementia or diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

“The best thing to do is to put together a solid estate plan that includes Medicaid planning before Alzheimer’s disease progresses or becomes more advanced.”

One reason that makes this so difficult, according to Garner, is that many families are in denial when a loved one is at the beginning stages of mental decline.

“Early planning is vital when the person in question still has the mental capacity to make financial decisions and to put a robust financial and legal plan in place. This will work toward ensuring that all medical-related and other expenses are covered,” he added.

According to Garner, if no action is taken and someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, then it’s likely their family will find themselves in guardianship proceedings. This means that the court could ultimately control what happens with the person and the subsequent transfer of the loved one’s assets.

When asked to explain further, he said, “One of the major downsides to this is that the court might make a judgment that runs contrary to the wishes of the person with Alzheimer’s and that person’s family.”

Garner said that it’s better to be prepared for the worst-case scenario and to secure control of the assets.

“If you’re suspicious that your loved one is slipping mentally, then contact an experienced estate planning or elder law attorney to put all their legal and financial affairs in order and to create a solid Medicaid plan,” he said.

Top Criminal Defense Attorney Kristin Paulding Reveals Essential Do’s And Don’ts When Facing Police Questions – Virginia Beach, VA

Leading criminal defense attorney Kristin Paulding, founding partner at 7 Cities Law in Virginia Beach, VA, outlined the essential do’s and don’ts when questioned by the police. For more information please visit https://7citieslaw.com

Virginia Beach, VA, United States – August 31, 2020 /MM-REB/

In a recent interview, leading criminal defense attorney Kristin Paulding, founding partner at 7 Cities Law in Virginia Beach, VA, revealed the essential do’s and don’ts when questioned by the police.

For more information please visit https://7citieslaw.com

When asked for a comment, she said, “Many people are unaware of their rights when questioned by police officers, who have been trained to use certain tactics to get a confession from someone they suspect of wrongdoing. Here are the most important things to keep in mind if in this situation.”

Many lawyers including Paulding stress the importance of knowing why the police are talking to you.

Paulding made the point by saying, “The key is to know if you are a person of interest in a crime or just a witness who could be helpful in a case they are investigating.”

“If a police officer approaches you in a consensual encounter, you do not have to talk to them. If you do not want to answer an officer’s questions, ask if you are free to leave and walk away,” she added.

Many people don’t understand that during an investigative detention, you would not be free to leave even though you are not under arrest. Usually an investigative detention is for a limited time while the police conduct their investigation and you still don’t have to answer their questions if you do not want to.

When asked to comment about how this is different to an arrest Paulding said, “An arrest is different because you are in police custody and they can search you prior to taking you to the police station. In saying that as long as you provide your name you can choose to remain silent and not answer any of their questions.”

When asked to comment about the notion that police officers are trained to extract information from potential suspects Paulding’s comment was interesting.

She went on to say that, “Anyone being questioned by law enforcement should know that police officers can use certain tactics to get you to make statements against your interest. Police officers want you to open up and give them information but you do not have to.

“Sometimes police officers will lie and say they have evidence against you when they do not. They will pretend to have your fingerprints on the stolen stereo when that is not the case. This is to get you to open up and start talking. The best bet is to stay silent until you have a lawyer by your side,” she said.
