Boost Your Spirits Through the Holidays and Beyond

Boost Your Spirits Through the Holidays and Beyond

MISSION, KS / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Stress and anxiety are all too familiar to many Americans, this year especially, and the added pressure of the holiday season may provide a new set of challenges. Practicing self-care and nurturing your mental health can help you navigate these potentially isolating times, especially if you're tackling this season single.

With so many other demands in life, taking care of yourself, including your emotional and mental well-being, may not always be at the top of your list. However, putting more emphasis on yourself and your needs can be achieved in small, measurable ways and may not only help boost your spirits but can affect your approach to dating, too.

"We believe happy and healthy relationships start with happy and healthy individuals," said Stefan Harvalias, head of global marketing for Plenty of Fish, one of the largest global online dating companies.

Harvalias points out there are a number of ways you can alleviate stress and anxiety. While there's no one magic formula that fits all, many people find coping easier with activities like these.

Listen to music.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of music in managing mental health. Slow, mellow music can help the mind shift into a lower gear and has even been shown to influence the body's physical state, such as reducing blood pressure, pulse, and heart rates. For someone with anxiety, music can be a welcome distraction from the troublesome thoughts occupying the mind. For others, music is simply a way to escape from reality and focus on something enjoyable.

Talk with friends and family.
Although COVID-19 may be creating physical distance, there's one way it can bring people together: by acknowledging your shared stress to one another. While the impacts of the pandemic vary greatly, everyone has been navigating uncertainty and change that comes with such a widespread event. A weekly check-in call or video chat with friends and family members can help you feel less alone with your feelings and experiences. Topics like mental health and mindfulness have risen to the surface of everyday discussions, removing a lot of the stigma they once had.

Seek out tools to help you unwind.
If you've never given much thought to managing your mental health, you may not know where to begin practicing better self-care, and that's OK. That's where you can benefit from resources like those available through Plenty of Fish. Knowing the toll the pandemic is taking on singles, the dating app partnered with Shine, a leading self-care app, to create two free dating-related meditations developed to help singles better manage anxiety and improve mental health and wellness.

Navigating dating, work, and your personal life can feel like an intense juggling act. To help find balance and feel less pressure, consider listening to the "Balance Dating While Busy" guided meditation and reflect on your energy and priorities so you can make space for dating in your life.

Although dating may look and feel different right now, it's still doable. Shift your mindset and reflect on ways to adapt with an option like the "Navigate Dating During COVID" guided meditation.

Recognize the role of physical wellness.
The mind and body are intrinsically connected, and how you take care of your body can have an impact on your mental state. This includes eating well to ensure you're getting proper nutrition, which can positively impact your mood. Additionally, exercise releases feel-good hormones, so a quick walk around the block or a 10-minute exercise video can benefit you both physically and mentally.

Give yourself permission to disconnect.
When life feels uncertain, being closely tied to an information source like your smartphone can give you a sense of security, but it can also add to your everyday stress. If you're working from home, you may find you never fully shift out of work mode. However, it's easy to become addicted to refreshing your newsfeed, allowing your devices to cut into time you could spend more productively. Limit your screen time to force yourself to focus on the present and activities that bring you pleasure while allowing your brain to rest, like spending time with loved ones or enjoying a good book or movie.

Keep COVID from Crushing Your Dating Game

As if single life and dating didn't bring enough uncertainty on their own, a global health crisis has only heightened the anxiety many singles feel. Dating pressures and anxiety tied to COVID-19 were the subjects of a study by Plenty of Fish, which showed just how challenging dating has been for singles this year.

According to the survey of singles:

60% have experienced feelings of anxiety before going on a date
29% have canceled a date due to anxiety
44% are anxious about their date not wearing a mask

When it comes to the benefits of self-care, a majority of surveyed singles reported:

66% practice self-care regularly
87% said self-care activities reduce stress
78% said they feel less stressed after a self-care routine
50% meditate
Alone time, exercise, and pampering were listed as the top self-care activities

"Prioritizing your mental health matters more than ever," Harvalias said. "Self-care and wellness mean something different to everyone – all that matters is that you find an outlet to disconnect and do what makes you happy."

Mobile Retail Platform Picksell Launches a Solution to $4.6 Trillion Market Problem

BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Mobile retail platform Picksell has created a solution to a $4.6 Trillion problem of abandoned shopping cart items, $2.75 Trillion of which are estimated as being easily recoverable, according to Business Insider.

Items that have been added or scanned but left in the shopping cart, are white-gloved over the finish line by Picksell's Smart Loyalty system that motivates customers to make the final purchase using personalised loyalty incentives. Merchants can entice their customers to complete their purchases by offering perks, discounts and other exclusive deals.

Launching initially in Germany and rolling out across Europe next year, Picksell is an all-in-one retail solution that also offers cheaper processing, contactless shopping and worldwide logistics that will open new opportunities for both online and offline merchants, especially relevant in a post-COVID world.

Utilizing PSD Open Banking standards, Picksell provides direct bank payments for every merchant charging less than 1%, avoiding expensive third party intermediaries. Merchants get paid directly into their bank accounts. The platform's QR based, COVID-ready Scan-and-Go system enables both online and offline merchants to sell anything, anywhere, any time – by simply placing a QR code online, or offline. Customers simply scan the item's QR code on a PC screen, in store or even on a billboard, and are taken directly to the payment screen. Customers can also save their items in the shopping cart and return to them at any time. .The solution is seen as ideal for showrooms and large offline retailers looking to minimize person to person exposure and still remain profitable and operational.

"I am proud to be supporting a team that is disrupting the way people shop, makes retail more profitable and helps keep us all safe," commented Picksell investor and co-founder Evgeny Roytman.

Picksell's suite of retail tools provides all merchants with an opportunity to regain lost profit, access the world and sell anything, anywhere, anytime.

All merchants can use Picksell's powerful tools absolutely free for the first two months.

EnerDynamic/Cat 5 Commissions Feasibility Study to Build Net Zero Student and Faculty Housing for the University of Puerto Rico

NIAGARA FALLS, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. (TSXV:EHT) ("EHT") is pleased to provide a further update on initiatives with its JV partner, Brieke Family Assets Ltd ("BFA"), and their jointly-owned subsidiary, Cat5 Solar and Microgrids LLC (the "JV").

The JV has commissioned Vallejo & Vallejo, a Puerto Rican professional services firm that specializes in appraisals, market studies, feasibility studies, and investment analysis, to produce a feasibility study to develop a net zero housing community for students and faculty members in conjunction as a Private Public Partnership with the University of Puerto Rico.

The JV has been working with the University of Puerto Rico on the design and detail of the Eco Community for over a year, with original design concepts from Puerto Rico's renowned green architect, Dr. Fernando Abruña, a past professor at the University of Puerto Rico for forty years and an award winning architect.

The University of Puerto Rico has nearly 60,000 students, with other collective universities adding over 50,000 additional students, on the island.

The island of Puerto Rico has endured frequent hurricanes and earthquakes and has a famously unreliable electricity service. This Eco Community will be the first resilient and sustainable student and faculty housing project of its kind.

The original site for the project was an uninhabited part of the famous Botanical Gardens. The decision was made to move the project and locate the Eco Community on the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus, Barbosa avenue San Juan, Puerto Rico just under 3 miles from the originally-proposed site. A link to the concept presentation is provided below, however it is based on the original site not the ultimate and approved site.

https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/ltKk0B6W5w.

Dr. Fernando Abruña, Partner in Abruña & Musgrave Architects, said, "I am very excited to play a significant role in what will be an architectural achievement and especially pleased to be working with the University of Puerto Rico, where I taught for so many years".

John Gamble, CEO of EHT, said "We look forward to the results of the feasibility study confirming what the collective team has been working on and to receiving the final approval from the board. It will be an honor to be a part of such an innovative and important project and to form a unique Private Public Partnership with the esteemed University of Puerto Rico."

About EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies

EHT delivers proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable. EHT's expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. In addition to traditional support to established electrical networks, ENERTEC buildings excel where no electrical grid exists.

About ENERTEC

The EHT advanced ENERTEC Modular Wall and Roof System uses a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger and more energy efficient than traditional wood or steel structures providing the highest ratings for energy efficiency. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. After installation, each structure can be furnished and finished to meet the customer's requirements including siding, tile, kitchens and bathrooms or segregated commercial rooms. The finished wall product can be shipped on pallets and delivered via rail, truck or water in standard formats.

At the core of the ENERTEC product line is the ENERTEC Embedded Solar Roof Module. Solar cells are embedded in a proprietary fire retardant skin resulting in substantial cost savings by eliminating heavy glass panels and aluminum racking required for traditional solar panels. Two barriers to greater adoption of solar energy are weight limitations of the roof on which solar panels could be deployed and onerous shipping and labour costs. A lighter product at a better price point will open a larger market for solar due to the faster return of capital investment especially for rural and remote users looking to go off-grid. Furthermore, the entire EHT embedded solar roof becomes a massive solar panel capable of producing significantly more energy than the home requires, allowing the structure to then become an important source of power for the local micro grid or large battery storage systems.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The statements herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information involves risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects, and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including risks related to the completion of all approvals from applicable regulatory authorities. Although EHT believes that the assumptions used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.

Leafbuyer Technologies Announces Growth Strategy Into New Legalized Markets

Company Will Gain Recurring Revenue from Dispensaries in New Jersey, Arizona, and Other Legalized States

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. ("Leafbuyer" or "the Company") (OTCQB:LBUY), a leading cannabis technology company, announced today its plan to target the states that legalized recreational or medical cannabis in the 2020 election, specifically Arizona, New Jersey, Mississippi, Montana, and South Dakota.

"We are experiencing success with our new Smart Technology products, and we are excited to expand our reach into these five newly legal cannabis markets," said Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer. "After launching Leafbuyer in Colorado when the state first legalized recreational cannabis, we have become cannabis technology experts. I feel confident we will be able to convert many of the emerging dispensaries into lifelong Leafbuyer customers."

In the recent election, five states legalized medical or recreational cannabis which altogether could generate over $2.5 billion in annual sales by 2024. Arizona and New Jersey legalized recreational cannabis sales, Mississippi legalized medical sales, and South Dakota legalized both. While Leafbuyer plans to target each of these markets, the Company will initially target New Jersey and Arizona.

In New Jersey, voters passed Public Question Number 1, and lawmakers are likely to pass legislation shaping the legal cannabis system in the next few days. The resulting recreational market will be massive due to the density of the state's population, its proximity to metropolitan areas, and a high level of disposable income. New Jersey may also serve as a catalyst in the region for recreational cannabis. Experts say the recent legalization is "expected to spur neighboring states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions to follow suit."

Arizona already has a robust medical marijuana program established in 2010, and many of the existing dispensaries will soon apply for recreational licenses. Leafbuyer will immediately increase efforts to secure medical dispensary clients in Arizona to increase brand awareness. As the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) receives applications from Jan 19 – Mar 9, 2021, Leafbuyer will then pursue the recreational license winners.

"We are excited to expand the Leafbuyer footprint into these new markets," continued Rossner. "Dispensaries in New Jersey, Arizona, and beyond will soon discover how the Leafbuyer platform can help attract and retain cannabis customers. We are also looking ahead to the states that may legalize marijuana in 2021."

As the aforementioned states establish their markets throughout 2021, several other states may legalize cannabis through their legislatures. New York, Connecticut, Maryland, New Mexico, and potentially Pennsylvania are all viewed as likely candidates for recreational legalization in 2021. Legalization in these markets could lead to another $6 billion in business opportunities. Leafbuyer will monitor each state closely to look for opportunities to establish an early lead in each market.

About Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc.
Leafbuyer Technologies is one of the most comprehensive marketing technology providers in the cannabis industry. Hundreds of cannabis businesses use the Leafbuyer texting and loyalty platform and the Custom App solution to engage with current and potential customers.

BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / AmeriCann, Inc.

The licenses include one for cannabis cultivation and one for cannabis product manufacturing.

The licenses awarded to AmeriCann will be used by AmeriCann to cultivate cannabis and for manufacturing cannabis infused products in a new Building 2 of the Company's flagship development, the Massachusetts Cannabis Center ("MCC"). The Company's design plans for Building 2 include approximately 400,000 square feet of state-of-the-art cultivation and product manufacturing space.

The overall MCC development is permitted for 987,000 square feet, which AmeriCann is developing in phases. The initial phase of the development, Building 1 is complete with AmeriCann's JV Partner commencing operations in February of 2020.

"Securing these new licenses allows AmeriCann to expand upon its successful first phase of the Massachusetts Cannabis Center," stated AmeriCann CEO Tim Keogh. "Building 2 will provide much needed cannabis production and manufacturing for the rapidly growing Massachusetts market."

About AmeriCann

AmeriCann (OTCQB:ACAN) is a cannabis company that develops cultivation, processing and product manufacturing facilities.

AmeriCann uses greenhouse technology which is superior to the current industry standard of growing cannabis in warehouse facilities under artificial lights. According to industry experts, by capturing natural sunlight, greenhouses use 25 percent fewer lights, and utility bills are up to 75 percent less than in typical warehouse cultivation facilities. As such, AmeriCann's Cannopy System enables cannabis to be produced with a greatly reduced carbon footprint, making the final product less expensive. Additionally, greenhouse construction costs are nearly half of warehouse construction costs.

AmeriCann is also designing GMP Certified cannabis extraction and product manufacturing infrastructure. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, AmeriCann Brands, Inc., the Company intends to secure licenses to produce cannabis infused products including beverages, edibles, topicals and concentrates. AmeriCann Brands, Inc. plans to operate a Marijuana Product Manufacturing business at the Massachusetts Cannabis Center with over 40,000 square feet of state-of-the art extraction and product manufacturing infrastructure.
