Online shopping is on the rise in the consumer market, and e-commerce is the bridge connecting them to brands this winter.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Increased restrictions are either on the horizon or a new reality for many states after recent spikes in COVID-19 cases, resulting in the increased popularity of digital experiences once again.

Why Black Friday Is The Best Time To Renew Car Insurance

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website has recently launched a guide that explains why Black Friday is the best time to renew the car insurance contract.

Renewing car insurance is something that should come as the natural thing to do for any responsible driver. Without any form of insurance, he will be heavily penalized by either the authorities, when caught driving without insurance, or by insurance companies, when he finally decides to get some coverage. The main problem of those who do not want to renew their insurance plan is the associated cost of auto insurance. And many of them are right since there are so many companies who seem to charge customers a seemingly unfair price.

Renewing the contract at the right time is a smart way to get cheap auto insurance. Renewing your car at the right time will help you save a lot of money and gain peace of mind. In order to get better deals, there are several conditions to be met. First of all, you must meet certain requirements, find the right insurance providers, and negotiate.
Renewing car insurance on Black Friday is really beneficial because this is the time when the biggest discounts can be found. And there are other bonuses which can be grabbed during this day. On the promotional list you may find cheaper extra services or more accident forgiveness programs.
Insurance companies are aware of the tempting offers their rivals may promote. In many cases, the only way to counter-attack is to also provide insurance cost-cutters. This is why the market is teeming with special offers for those who want to renew the policies in advance during Black Friday. Renewing a policy in advance will spare the company from some paperwork and will help it plan its budget better.
Also, consider switching carriers. One of the most popular promotions is a discounted rate for a short period of time: say, 20-30% off the first six months of car insurance when buying a one-year plan. The car insurance company gets a new customer, and the client gets 30% cheaper car insurance for the first six months.
It is always recommended to initiate the renewal procedures in advance and ask for some documents. When Black Friday starts, make sure to have all papers ready and check for the latest price updates.

For additional info, money-saving tips, and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

"Black Friday will help drivers find the best discounts. For many, now is the perfect time to renew coverage or switch insurers", said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Hillstream BioPharma’s HSB-888 Receives Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma remains the most common primary pediatric bone malignancy mostly occurring in adolescents for which treatment has remained essentially unchanged for the past three decades

Osteosarcoma is a highly-aggressive tumor with metastatic disease either at diagnosis or at the time of recurrence portending a poor prognosis with five-year survival rate survival below 30%

HSB-888 could be more efficacious, safer and a more tolerable therapy which may improve response rates, overall survival and quality of life

BRIDGEWATER, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Hillstream BioPharma, Inc. ("Hillstream") announced that the FDA granted both the Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPD) and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to HSB-888 for Osteosarcoma. Hillstream continues to build an attractive oncology pipeline and expands this oncology pipeline for devastating diseases with this significant milestone achievement for HSB-888. If HSB-888 gains FDA approval by 2023, Hillstream will be given a transferable Priority Review Voucher (PRV) which can be sold to further fund HSB-888 and R&D pipeline.

Osteosarcoma has been primarily treated with the same frontline chemotherapy for three decades, called MAP, which includes methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin. The high toxicity of the MAP regimen results in cumulative toxicity which prevents continued use especially in recurrence. HSB-888 could be more efficacious, safer, and a more tolerable therapy which may improve response rates, overall survival, and quality of life. Hillstream is rapidly progressing towards a rapid IND filing process and plans to initiate a clinical trial in pediatric osteosarcoma.

"This acquisition significantly expands our oncology business with a late stage product and diversifies our oncology portfolio" stated Randy Milby, founder and chief executive officer of Hillstream. "The Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of osteosarcoma highlights the significant need for patients with this devastating disease. With the clinical data currently available, we anticipate a rapid progression toward an IND and initiation of Phase 1b/2a trials. We look forward to sharing our progress about these and future milestones with current and potential shareholders."

In addition, Hillstream continues progressing its pre-clinical pipeline of assets, including HSB-1216 for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. HBS-1216 is a potent cancer stem cell inhibitor. This combined portfolio enables Hillstream to have additional capability to address unmet needs in multiple, high, unmet-need orphan tumors.

About Pediatric Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma remains the most common primary pediatric bone malignancy mostly occurring in adolescents for which treatment has remained essentially unchanged for more than three decades. Osteosarcoma is a highly aggressive tumor with metastatic disease either at diagnosis or at the time of recurrence portending a poor prognosis with five-year survival rate survival below 30%. Osteosarcoma is found in about one thousand people with about half diagnosed in adolescents in the United States each year, most often during the growth spurt of the teen years.

About Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to HSB-888 for the treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma, a rare pediatric cancer. The FDA grants ODD to therapies targeting conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. The designation provides seven-year market exclusivity, increased engagement, and assistance from the FDA, tax credits for certain research, research grants, and a waiver of the New Drug Application user fee. HSB-888 also has Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for osteosarcoma. The FDA grants Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for serious and life-threatening diseases that primarily affect children ages 18 years or younger and fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. If Hillstream's new drug application for osteosarcoma is approved, Hillstream may receive a priority review voucher from the FDA, which can be redeemed to obtain priority review for any subsequent marketing application or may be sold to another company for their programs.

About Hillstream Biopharma, Inc.

Hillstream BioPharma, Inc. (the "Company") is a clinical stage biotechnology company leveraging its computational intelligence platform to help identify and develop novel therapeutics for rare cancers. The Company is advancing lead candidates, including novel small molecules and proprietary DNA expression vectors which encode inflammatory cytokines directly into the tumor microenvironment. We will work to improve the lives of patients as we rapidly move into the clinic to treat osteosarcoma, small cell lung cancer and other high, unmet-need rare cancers.

SQID Technologies Limited

MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / SQID Technologies Limited (CSE:SQID) provides an update on operations and customer activities.

The Company is a payment processor for online debit and credit card payment. The standards for payment processing are established by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ("PCI"). PCI is an information security standard for organizations that handle credit cards from the major card schemes (Visa and MasterCard) and must ensure a high level of integrity and compliance of its payment processing at all times to appropriately manage its risk.

Senior management of the Company changed early this year and as a result of a review by the new management the Company has advised its customers that changes were required to meet the required level of PCI compliance. We could not obtain this from a large group of customers representing about 94% of the Company's operations. Regrettably the Company is unable to continue to provide service to these customers.

The loss of these customers will have a material impact on revenue and earnings in the short to medium term. The Company will undertake a restructure of its team and downsize its overheads to manage costs. The Company has an established and highly scalable payment platform that does not require ongoing development or R&D to maintain. With further efforts into sales and marketing the Company aims to recover the revenue and earnings profile in the short to medium term.

SQID has a strong balance sheet of $3M cash, no debt and a good sales pipeline, and is actively reviewing a number of acquisition opportunities to compliment its payments software and intellectual property.

Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd. (ALPP) and Impossible Aerospace Corporation (IA) Announce that IA Has Completed the Final Milestone of Their $1.5 Million US Air Force Contract.

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd., (OTCQB:ALPP) owner of leading small market businesses, announced today that Impossible Aerospace Corporation (IA) has completed its final deliverable on its first $1.5 million contract with the United States Air Force.

The SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contract financed the testing, delivery and deployment of several Impossible Aerospace US-1 aircraft into an operational defense environment. While several American companies have announced or launched American-built small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), the unique endurance, robustness and sensing capabilities of US-1 have been put to work protecting the nation's critical defense systems, including its stockpile of nuclear ICBMS across the western United States.

Kent Wilson, CEO of Alpine 4: "This was a big milestone for IA of which we find confidence inspiring for procurement of future contracts. While the US Air Force contract was new and the delivery to them was very recent, Alpine 4 won't be able to account for these sales due to how we recognize revenue. Going forward, the team will be working hard to secure additional service-related contracts associated with this drone delivery. Our subsidiary, Quality Circuit Assembly, Inc., was a critical supplier in the building of the drones that were sent to the Air Force. It gives me great pleasure to see both QCA and IA succeed in this endeavor! The harmonious relationship between QCA and IA will fit nicely within our DSF business model."

www.impossible.aero

Alpine 4: Four principles at the core of our business are Synergy. Innovation. Drive. Excellence. At Alpine 4, we believe synergistic innovation drives excellence. By anchoring these words to our combined experience and capabilities, we can aggressively pursue opportunities within and across vertical markets. We deliver solutions that not only drive industry standards but also increase value for our shareholders.

The merger of IA is expected to close on or around December 10, 2020 pending certain closing conditions. Actual financial results filed with the SEC may differ from those contained herein due to timing delays between the date of this release and confirmation of final audit results.
