The DeFi Trend Continues Unabated, But More Financial Relief Needed Today, Opines TX365

“However, we’re always encouraged by the resilience and strength we see in our communities. We understand that TX365 support is needed more than ever,” says a spokesperson for TX365.

December 8, 2020 /MarketersMedia/

The year 2020 can rightly be called the ‘Year of DeFi’. It’s no secret that blockchain technology is all the rage right now. There are thousands of developers working day and night developing invaluable tools for users across the world, and with companies and governments enjoying its many benefits. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has gained even more prominence in pandemic times, however, there is more than meets the eye, given the financial hardships being unleashed on many across countries. The TX365 community fund has a role to bring about some relief.

The collective value of DeFi skyrocketed during the Covid-19: with a combined worth above $18 billion, its performance is primarily credited to decentralized markets (DEX) like Uniswap. To date, the most important value in the history of blockchain projects has been the decentralized space. Many other platforms aim to reach the gates of DeFi with exuberant yield farming projects in progress, thus revolutionizing traditional users’ operations and introducing other comforts into daily life.

The consequence – an ecological devastating system of millions of developers (and even more users) starts its vicious global invasion, promising to rewrite the financial system as we once knew it.

The trend will remain hyped for a long way. The DeFi space involves taking services that are available in the traditional finance space and bringing them to the blockchain – where they can be conducted between parties and without the arduous rules imposed by central authorities. For instance, loans and credits, insurance, and so on.

Ten months into the Covid pandemic and counting, restrictions will not ease any time soon. The next few months will bring even more significant challenges as the nights get longer, darker, and colder. The emotional, physical, and financial impacts of lockdown are becoming increasingly problematic, as lives are being turned upside down. Sadly, there are even more people in the world experiencing extreme hardship, isolation, loneliness, and fear.

“However, we’re always encouraged by the resilience and strength we see in our communities. We understand that TX365 support is needed more than ever,” says a spokesperson for TX365.

Financial crisis grants from TX365 enable dedicated platforms to offer vital services in protecting the most vulnerable from long-term impacts. Therefore, the TX365 community fund will remain open to applications for support where it is needed most.

Mental Health IOP in San Diego CA is Explained by The Recover

The Recover discusses how mental health intensive outpatient programs in San Diego, California can benefit patients.

San Diego, United States – December 8, 2020 /MarketersMedia/

Health Intensive Outpatient Programs in San Diego, California, make it possible for patients to continue with their regular, daily lives in a manner that household treatment programs do not. IOPs are, in some cases, utilized in conjunction with inpatient programs to help clients a lot more smoothly and correctly adjust back into their households and communities.

Why Choose an IOP Over Residential Treatment?

IOPs are an essential element of taking care of individuals seeking help in conquering addiction. For lots of people, inpatient treatment– whether in a healthcare facility, facility, rehab, or various other centers– can be challenging. They still get intensive treatment, but they can live at home. Perfect candidates for intensive outpatient treatment have a safe home setting.

This implies encouraging family members and friends ready to support their loved ones in their recovery initiatives. If a person copes with other people who use medicines or drink, residential treatment is generally recommended to obtain the person far from these triggers for relapse. IOPs are typically not recommended for those with severe instances of addiction or co-occurring problems. Usually, these instances are referred to as inpatient treatment since they call for more immersive treatment and 24-hour supervision.

Still, it generally includes 10-12 hours of team and specific therapy every week, plus encouraging engagement in a 12-step program. Therapy can be specifically useful for individuals who reside in remote areas or areas where adequate treatment services aren’t offered. Customers in IOPs usually check out a center three to 4 times weekly, commonly for 3 hours at a time.

Group Therapy

Team therapy often tends to function as the core of the majority of IOPs. Some studies reveal team engagement is as reliable as specific therapy in treating addiction. It offers individuals accessibility to an atmosphere where individuals in similar circumstances give support, convenience, and truthful feedback. It can strengthen healthy means of interacting and supply a risk-free area that is crucial to recovery efforts.

Team members who are farther along in their recovery frequently use valuable assistance and empathy early in the recovery process. Groups can be an area to witness many positive actions related to recovery. The group sessions in which customers get involved are of differing types to address a range of therapies and abilities needed to recover from addiction. IOPs may consist of a range of different groups.

Psychoeducational groups give emotional support and also the chance to learn more about addiction, dependency, and the repercussions of abuse. In these teams, participants will likewise learn about the impacts of addiction on relationships and how to take care of those challenges ideally. Groups generally consist of between 8 and 15 participants per SAMHSA, though personal IOPs usually include smaller sized teams, enabling an extra individual focus.

Individual Therapy

Those seeking treatment from IOPs will likewise usually have accessibility to specific therapy also. While this is important, it is not typically the primary kind of treatment, according to SAMHSA. Individual therapy sessions are part of the majority of IOPs and will typically be arranged on at the very least a weekly basis, otherwise regularly, specifically early in treatment.

Complementary Therapies

Specialists trained in the particular treatment lead these sessions, and they frequently take place in a group setup.

Support Groups

These 12-step groups implement an arrangement for recovery that serves people well as they exit formal treatment. The National Institute on Drug Abuse describes what people must seek in any treatment program. While available treatment alternatives are readily available, they commonly have long waiting listings. Often, personal IOPs can make sure much more timely access to treatment.

Each customer must obtain customized treatment that fits their situation as well as progression. Clinical treatment ought to be based on empirical research. While different treatments can be used to enhance treatment, therapy should be clinical detox and treatment.

Treatment should entail peer assistance in group therapy and support group conferences and an aftercare plan that includes building and strengthening one’s assistance network. Treatment ought to be recurring. Continuation of treatment is crucial to its achievement. NIDA suggests that individuals participate in therapy for at the very least 90 days to guarantee the most effective possibilities at sustained recovery.

Individuals might often begin in an IOP and, afterward, shift to less intensive outpatient treatment after 30- 60 days. A staff uses various individualized treatment forms to support people in their mental health rehabilitation.

Help will be provided to understand the results of substance use on their lives and information concerning substances of abuse and how they influence mental illness and remedy.

Advisor Board Meeting on anti-COVID-19 Chinese herbal medicine“Handian Taishen Granule” held in Ritan, Beijing

Handian Hongni Taishen Granule originates from the ancient formulation against taiyin cold-dampness disorder. This formula is of aromatic property and could dry dampness, resolve turbidity and dispel filthy pathogens.

December 8, 2020 /PressReleaseAgency/

On 26th Nov, 2020, Handian Pharma held an advisor board (AB) meeting on anti-COVID-19 Chinese herbal medicine “Handian Taishen Granule” in Ritan, Beijing. Handian Hongni Taishen Granule originates from the ancient formulation against taiyin cold-dampness disorder. This formula is of aromatic property and could dry dampness, resolve turbidity and dispel filthy pathogens. The research team of Handian Pharma has started screening and developing this innovative new drug since the fight against Ebola virus in 2015. The development of this product is based on epidemiological data, clinical usage, ancient dosing regimen and modern pharmaceutical technology in collaboration with professional and academic institutions including China Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMS) and GLP-certified bodies. Pharmacological, toxicological and clinical data are to be completed to further demonstrate its efficacy and safety. The company is also seeking for internal collaboration using this anti-viral Chinese herbal medicine.

Ritan Park used to be the sacred place to worship the God of Brightness-the sun. The AB meeting on Taishen Granule is held at this very location with the hope of this product acting like the sun to sweep away the umbrageous risk upon human’s lives, which is brought by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

COVID-19 is an infectious pandemic disease, belonging to “pestilence” in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is caused by the contraction of pestilential toxin (SARS-CoV-2). Most of the COVID-19 patients are of cold-dampness constitutions. Exposure to this external cold-dampness pestilential toxin precipitates such patients to develop the TCM pattern of cold-dampness stagnating the lung.

This formula works by dispelling cold and dampness, adjusting the balance of yin and yang and regulating the taiyin cold-dampness constitution. It thus could act against the SARS-CoV-2, clearing the virus and preventing its transmission due to the residing cold-dampness environment of the patients, so as to counteract the damage to the body by the SARS-CoV-2.
In the morning, Handian Pharma(Group)invited several TCM experts including Prof. Chen Keji, academician of China Academy of Sciences, to this AB meeting. During the meeting, all participating experts praised highly of Taishen Granule. Preliminary clinical studies have already demonstrated its significant effect in the treatment of novel coronal pneumonia. This product is still undergoing preclinical studies. As there are very few current COVID-19 patients in China, the company plans to start collaborative clinical trials with overseas countries.

Major key opinion leaders and experts in the medical fields have participated this AB meeting, including Prof. Chen Keji, academician of China Academy of Sciences (CAS), Li Junde, deputy director of China Association of Chinese Medicine, Wang Xiaoliang, former director of Institute of Materia Medica, CAMS, Fang Dingya, Chief physician, former president of Xiyuan Hospital, CACMS, Liu Shuzhi, principal researcher of Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, CACMS.

Surviveware Trauma Shears Captures Trained Survivalist’s Approval

Trained Survivalist Amazed by Surviveware Medical-Grade Shear’s Excellence

Woodbridge, United States – December 8, 2020 /MarketersMedia/

Surviveware, one of the sought-after retailers of quality outdoor gear, has never ceased to provide top-grade adventure and survival equipment. Keen on addressing common emergency problems; the company has tackled several issues when it comes to preparedness, one of which is the absence of durable and reliable first aid tools—this paved the way to the creation of Surviveware’s Medical-grade Trauma Shears.

These premium quality EMT shears are designed with the users’ needs in mind. Open wounds and injuries require the removal of clothing, bandages, and even seatbelts. Medical scissors should be sharp enough to cut through these materials efficiently. Surviveware incorporated an ergonomically structured and engineered design to its shears.

Surviveware’s trauma shears come with a blunt tip and angled blades that cut safely through clothing as well as being pocket friendly. It also prevents accidental nicks and pricks while attending to wounds.

These medical scissors are made using top-of-the-line Japanese stainless steel blades, which make the shears lightweight but durable. Tests were conducted to ensure that these shears last longer than other tools on the market.

To add strength and protection to the shears, the company covered the blades with black fluorite. This coating not only adds personality to the tool but preserves their sharpness and prevents rust and adhesives from sticking onto the edges of the blades.

Surviveware has ensured that these EMT shears are easy to use and won’t cause any discomfort as larger finger holes and thumb hooks prevent blisters and hot spots from forming. It also comes with a soft-grip, non-slip contoured design, which gives users maximum control during use.

These medical scissors are also autoclavable. Meaning, it can be sterilized at 143 degrees without ruining the blades. This feature is ideal for use in the emergency room where medical tools need to be sanitized before and after each use.

Many outdoorsmen and survivalists are making the switch to using quality and functional first aid tools. In the following review written by Surviveware customer Alex, he shared how the shears exceeded his expectations; what he expected to be kiddie scissors turned out to be high-quality first aid shears:

“For the money I expected school kid safety scissors quality that just looked like trauma shears, just like the junk I’ve used in training. However I was pleasantly surprised to see that this is genuine life-saving equipment built to a standard that will get the job done when it counts.”

ABOUT SOLGOLD

SolGold is a leading resources company focussed on the discovery, definition and development of world-class copper and gold deposits. In 2018, SolGold's management team was recognised by the "Mines and Money" Forum as an example of excellence in the industry and continues to strive to deliver objectives efficiently and in the interests of shareholders. SolGold is the largest and most active concession holder in Ecuador and is aggressively exploring the length and breadth of this highly prospective and gold-rich section of the Andean Copper Belt.

The Company operates with transparency and in accordance with international best practices. SolGold is committed to delivering value to its shareholders, while simultaneously providing economic and social benefits to impacted communities, fostering a healthy and safe workplace and minimizing the environmental impact.

Dedicated stakeholders

SolGold employs a staff of over 700 employees of whom 98% are Ecuadorean. This is expected to grow as the operations expand at Alpala, and in Ecuador generally. SolGold focusses its operations to be safe, reliable and environmentally responsible and maintains close relationships with its local communities. SolGold has engaged an increasingly skilled, refined and experienced team of geoscientists using state of the art geophysical and geochemical modelling applied to an extensive database to enable the delivery of ore grade intersections from nearly every drill hole at Alpala. SolGold has over 80 geologists on the ground in Ecuador exploring for economic copper and gold deposits.

About Cascabel and Alpala

The Alpala deposit is the main target in the Cascabel concession, located on the northern section of the heavily endowed Andean Copper Belt, the entirety of which is renowned as the base for nearly half of the world's copper production. The project area hosts mineralisation of Eocene age, the same age as numerous Tier 1 deposits along the Andean Copper Belt in Chile and Peru to the south. The project base is located at Rocafuerte within the Cascabel concession in northern Ecuador, an approximately three-hour drive on sealed highway north of the capital Quito, close to water, power supply and Pacific ports.

Having fulfilled its earn-in requirements, SolGold is a registered shareholder with an unencumbered legal and beneficial 85% interest in ENSA (Exploraciones Novomining S.A.) which holds 100% of the Cascabel concession covering approximately 50km2. The junior equity owner in ENSA is required to repay 15% of costs since SolGold's earn in was completed, from 90% of its share of distribution of earnings or dividends from ENSA or the Cascabel concession. It is also required to contribute to development or be diluted, and if its interest falls below 10%, it shall reduce to a 0.5% NSR royalty which SolGold may acquire for US$3.5million.

Advancing Alpala towards development

The resource at the Alpala deposit contains a high-grade core which will be targeted to facilitate early cashflows and an accelerated payback of initial capital. SolGold is currently progressing its Pre-Feasibility Study and is fully funded through to development decision following the Net Smelter Royalty Financing with Franco-Nevada Corporation for US$100million. Franco-Nevada will receive a perpetual 1% NSR interest from the Cascabel licence area.

SolGold is currently assessing financing options available to the Company for the development of the Alpala mine following completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study.

SolGold's Regional Exploration Drive

SolGold is using its successful and cost-efficient blueprint established at Alpala, and Cascabel generally, to explore for additional world class copper and gold projects across Ecuador. SolGold is the largest and most active concessionaire in Ecuador.

The Company wholly owns four other subsidiaries active throughout the country that are now focussed on thirteen high priority gold and copper resource targets, several of which the Company believes have the potential, subject to resource definition and feasibility, to be developed in close succession or even on a more accelerated basis compared to Alpala.

SolGold is listed on the London Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange (LSE/TSX: SOLG). The Company has on issue a total of 2,084,113,494 fully-paid ordinary shares and 112,275,000 share options.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control on Sample Collection, Security and Assaying

SolGold operates according to its rigorous Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol, which is consistent with industry best practices.

Primary sample collection involves secure transport from SolGold's concessions in Ecuador, to the ALS certified sample preparation facility in Quito, Ecuador. Samples are then air freighted from Quito to the ALS certified laboratory in Lima, Peru where the assaying of drill core, channel samples, rock chips and soil samples is undertaken. SolGold utilises ALS certified laboratories in Canada and Australia for the analysis of metallurgical samples.

Samples are prepared and analysed using 100g 4-Acid digest ICP with MS finish for 48 elements on a 0.25g aliquot (ME-MS61). Laboratory performance is routinely monitored using umpire assays, check batches and inter-laboratory comparisons between ALS certified laboratory in Lima and the ACME certified laboratory in Cuenca, Ecuador.

In order to monitor the ongoing quality of its analytical database, SolGold's QA/QC protocol encompasses standard sampling methodologies, including the insertion of certified powder blanks, coarse chip blanks, standards, pulp duplicates and field duplicates. The blanks and standards are Certified Reference Materials supplied by Ore Research and Exploration, Australia.

SolGold's QA/QC protocol also monitors the ongoing quality of its analytical database. The Company's protocol involves Independent data validation of the digital analytical database including search for sample overlaps, duplicate or absent samples as well as anomalous assay and survey results. These are routinely performed ahead of Mineral Resource Estimates and Feasibility Studies. No material QA/QC issues have been identified with respect to sample collection, security and assaying.

Reviews of the sample preparation, chain of custody, data security procedures and assaying methods used by SolGold confirm that they are consistent with industry best practices and all results stated in this announcement have passed SolGold's QA/QC protocol.

The data aggregation method for calculating Copper Equivalent (CuEq) for down-hole drilling intercepts and rock-saw channel sampling intervals are reported using copper equivalent (CuEq) cut-off grades with up to 10m internal dilution, excluding bridging to a single sample and with minimum intersection length of 50m.

Copper Equivalent is currently calculated (assuming 100% recovery of copper and gold) using a Gold Conversion Factor of 0.751 (CuEq = Cu + Au x 0.751), calculated from a current nominal copper price of US$3.30/lb and a gold price of US$1700/oz.

True widths of downhole intersections are not well constrained. Drill hole one was inclined -55degrees towards the east, and the interpreted trend of the Cacharposa Intrusive Complex and its associated porphyry copper-gold mineralisation is subvertical, dipping approximately 85-90 degrees to the west. The true width of down-hole intersections reported are therefore expected to be approximately 55-60% of the down-hole lengths.

Joseph Cavallo on Variety and Inclusion in the Legal Profession

By virtue of its very nature, the legal profession has a moral and ethical obligation to champion diversity and inclusion

Irvine, CA – December 7, 2020 /MarketersMedia/

The legal profession is based on human interaction as law firms must understand their clients and cater to their needs. Legal professionals are the guardians of social justice and equality. This means they have to serve people regardless of their race, color, religion, nationality, cultural affiliations, sexual orientation, or gender identification. However, lawyers cannot provide unbiased treatment unless they espouse it within their own ranks, says renowned California-based attorney Joseph Cavallo. “While the legal profession has made sincere efforts to promote diversity and inclusion internally, the consensus is that progress has been slow and modest. The current wave of social unrest is perhaps the clearest sign that the United States still has much work to do to become a country where every individual is guaranteed justice, dignity, and human rights protection. Few professions are as uniquely positioned as the legal one to help build a fair, empathetic society, but this cannot be achieved without a dramatic change from the inside where diversity and inclusion are concerned,” Joseph Cavallo notes.

Despite dealing with people from all societal segments, “the legal profession remains one of the least diverse of all professions in the US,” according to the most recent review by the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession (IILP). “While minority representation among lawyers has increased from 11.3% in 2006-08 to 15.3% in 2016-18, and female representation among lawyers grew from 32.6% in 2007 to 37.4% in 2017, the data continues to show significantly inadequate representation at higher levels,” the paper said. Discussing steps that can be taken to facilitate progress, one of the contributing authors pointed out that many law firms “are recognizing the merit of flexible working policies and using innovation to help drive equality in the legal profession. We are seeing a rise in the adoption of agile working, work allocation policies, and an outputs- and outcomes-focused approach rather than the more traditional billable hours model. These are policies that can help to improve the working environment and career prospects for everyone, including women and ethnic minorities, disabled people, working fathers, and others with caring responsibilities.”

By virtue of its very nature, the legal profession has a moral and ethical obligation to champion diversity and inclusion, Joseph Cavallo says, adding that the role of lawyers throughout history has been to fight discrimination, eliminate bias, and promote equality for the greater good. He also stresses that diverse and inclusive teams are good for business as well since they reflect the eclectic composition of modern communities. Such teams are better equipped to offer sensitive, appropriate, and expert services to representatives of all social strata, which greatly contributes to the success of a legal practice. Meanwhile, law firms differentiate themselves by hiring on merit and providing training and advancement opportunities to all members of their staff. With diversity and inclusion now considered a hallmark of socially responsible corporations, law firms need to accelerate their progress in this area and truly become the standard-bearers society expects them to be.

Joseph Cavallo attended St. Peter’s College in Jersey City, NJ and then studied law at the Western State University in Fullerton, CA before his admittance to The State Bar of California. The attorney, who serves customers from offices in Irvine, CA, has become renowned for his achievements in the criminal defense field, but his track record also includes notable victories in business and personal injury litigation, winning millions in cumulative damages on behalf of his clients. Joseph Cavallo is the founder of “Adopt the Elderly,” a volunteer organization helping senior citizens find friends, as well as an advocate for women and bullied children.
