Author Releases New Novel in Aid of Anti-Trafficking in Cambodia

LONDON / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Author Gabrielle Yetter releases her new novel, Whisper of the Lotus, to support Justice and Soul, an anti-trafficking organization.

Inspired by her experiences while living in Cambodia, the book is about Charlotte Fontaine, a young woman who travels to Phnom Penh to visit her best friend and meets a mysterious elderly man on the flight. When she arrives, she discovers a land of golden temples, orange-clad monks, and kind-hearted people, then realises many things are not what they seem-including her own family relationships that bubble to the surface through a series of revelations. The book was long listed in the 2019 London TLC (The Literary Consultancy) Pen Factor writing competition and released on November 9, Cambodian Independence Day.

"I wanted to share some of the exotic charm of the country in my book," Yetter said. "After experiencing what it felt like to live there, it quickly became my soul home and I wanted to take readers into my Cambodia. I have included a number of fascinating real-life characters-some of whom are named, such as SomOn, our tuk-tuk driver, who became a friend, and I've woven actual-life situations into the story.

"Throughout the book, Charlotte is on a quest that takes her through dusty back alleys and shimmering pagodas where she meets people who provide insights into her own strengths and imperfections: a sleazy café owner, a compassionate Buddhist monk, an elderly Cambodian who survived the Khmer Rouge, and a woman who reminds her of her mother. And all of them play a role in teaching her different things about herself."

It has been described as having "the feel of a good Armistead Maupin novel mixed with the spiritual overtones of Dan Millman's Way of the Peaceful Warrior," and one reviewer wrote, "Yetter's story is mystery, romance, and thriller all in one, and the tendrils of an unexpected encounter weave through them all".

A former journalist and Massachusetts resident, Yetter wrote The Definitive Guide to Moving to Southeast Asia: Cambodia and The Sweet Tastes of Cambodia (a book about traditional Cambodian desserts and provincial travel) as well as two childrens' books, Ogden The Fish Who Couldn't Swim Straight and Martha the Blue Sheep, which were illustrated by Cambodian artists. In 2012, Gabrielle co-wrote Just Go! Leave the Treadmill for a World of Adventure with her husband, Skip (Frank), a former Massachusetts journalist and newspaper publisher. The book is based on their experiences of moving across the world and starting a new life in Cambodia.

Yetters in Cambodia

Proceeds for the first 57 days will be donated to Justice and Soul, a non-profit organization which provides cosmetology training and a new beginning for at risk youth and those rescued from trafficking in Cambodia.

Whisper of the Lotus is available for purchase as a paperback or ebook on Amazon. More details are available at www.GabrielleYetter.com

To celebrate the launch, Yetter is offering a giveaway of her book as part of a family gift package on Instagram until Saturday, November 21. The other gifts include a copy of Skip Yetter's recently published novel, A Reasonably Viable Marriage, two pairs of custom-made earrings from Kirsty Yetter's Why Not Jewelry by Kirsty and one dozen handmade, custom-designed cookies from Emily Yetter's Lil Em's Cookies, based in Los Angeles. The contest is open only to US entrants and must be submitted through Instagram.

Meet Abdullah Taleb: The Entrepreneur Who Pioneered Social Media Marketing

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / In today's digital world, it's no secret that social media marketing has become an essential component for almost any business looking to succeed in their respective industry; however, in the early 2000's, before social media rapidly grew to become one of the most popular industries to exist, only a handful of people were utilizing their online platforms to market their businesses. One young entrepreneur, Abdullah Taleb, was one of the very first individuals to start an entirely digital business through his social media platform. At just 14 years old in 2004, Taleb created an account on Myspace, the most popular social media platform at the time. Although Taleb didn't realize it then, social media would soon alter the course of his life forever.

Taleb was born and raised as a refugee in the United Arab Emirates. Life for his family was often complicated due to their refugee status, and his parents worked extremely hard to provide the best life possible for their children. "I wished for my parents and siblings to have a decent life filled with social stability and financial freedom," Taleb stated. Fortunately, Taleb's parents decided to move to the United States in hopes of a better life for their family. Taleb's family immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area and were later granted citizenship. Once Taleb became settled into his new home, he started to become heavily involved in the digital space.

Growing up in the UAE, Taleb had developed a passion for luxury and exotic vehicles, as he found himself constantly surrounded by them. Taleb took his passion for cars to Myspace and regularly posted photos and videos of some of the world's most popular and desirable vehicles. Through his consistency uploading photos and videos combined with his tasteful choice of automotive content, Taleb managed to accumulate a large following on his page. "After months of building my platform's following, I began generating legitimate inquiries on the high-end items I posted. Eventually, these inquiries resulted in sales in the hundreds of thousands of dollars," Abdullah boldly said. By the age of 16, Abdullah was generating seven figures annually, and formed his business, Rich Boys' Toys.

Rich Boys' Toys is an online platform that brokers custom vehicles and motorcycle builds, closely working with builders, manufacturers, and designers to construct the world's most exclusive and exotic custom builds. Taleb later expanded his company to every popular social media platform and established a strong online presence. For Taleb, building multiple online platforms was only the first step. He stated, "Using social media as a starting point, I began creating a multisector network in different industries, assisting companies and government agencies with supply chain solutions and supply chain management." Through his work over the years, Taleb has managed to build close relationships with a host of people. Many of his clients consist of prominent individuals such as royalty, celebrities, and athletes from places such as Europe, the United States, and many MENA countries.

Taleb believes there is a major shift coming in the automotive industry in the next decade, and he plans to stay ahead of the game. He spends a substantial amount of time researching and identifying shifting trends in the market and is constantly looking to predict future trends as well. "Looking for new trends may be challenging, but it is essential for entrepreneurs to observe, study, and analyze market indicators to identify current starting trends, or put the pieces together to predict future growing trends," Taleb emphasized. It's through Taleb's ability to adapt to new trends that has allowed Rich Boys' Toys to survive the test of time. He doesn't seem to be showing any signs of letting off the gas anytime soon, as Taleb is currently working very closely with new technologies, studying AI, and gathering data in creative ways to predict new trends in the automotive industry. Though he rarely has free time in his busy schedule, Taleb explained that he makes an effort to spend quality time with his family and friends. He stated, "My family and friends are everything to me- without them, I would not have been able to make it."

Charah Solutions, Inc. Announces Sale of Allied Power Holdings, LLC for $40 Million

Fully focused on higher growth, higher margin environmental remediation and byproduct recycling markets

Strengthening balance sheet through significant debt reduction and enhancing liquidity

LOUISVILLE, KY / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Charah Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:CHRA) today announced it has sold Allied Power Holdings, LLC ("Allied"), its subsidiary engaged in maintenance, modification and repair services to the nuclear and fossil power generation industry, to an affiliate of Bernhard Capital Partners Management, LP ("BCP"), the Company's majority shareholder, in an all-cash deal for $40 million.

"I am excited to announce that we have made the strategic decision to sell our Allied subsidiary to an affiliate of BCP for $40 million. Charah Solutions is laser-focused on capturing a significant share of the $75 billion ash environmental remediation and byproduct recycling market, and this transaction strategically positions the Company to devote its full attention and resources to these higher margin and higher growth opportunities. We also significantly strengthened our balance sheet and reduced leverage by applying the full amount of the net proceeds to debt repayment, and we improved our cash flow and available liquidity," said Scott Sewell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charah Solutions. "At Charah Solutions, our work, mission and culture are directly aligned with meeting environmental, sustainability, and governance ("ESG") standards and providing innovative services to solve our utility customers' most complex environmental challenges. We are an industry leader in quality, safety, and ESG compliance, and we are committed to preserving our environment for a cleaner future. This is what we do every single day. Charah Solutions has earned its reputation as the premier one-stop solution to the power generation industry for ash pond remediation and compliance, environmentally friendly ash recycling and daily ash operations. With the completion of this transaction, we are now entirely focused on delivering our industry-leading comprehensive suite of ash services to the power generation industry. Allied is a very successful business, and we believe its value will be best realized by being part of BCP's strategy and vision for their maintenance-related services. We thank our Allied team members for their contributions during their time with Charah Solutions and wish them continued success in the future."

The final consideration for the sale is subject to customary adjustments for net working capital and other adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The sale was approved by a special committee of the Company's Board of Directors consisting solely of independent directors, which obtained a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. The sale has also been approved by the Company's lenders under its senior secured credit facility. Concurrent with the closing of the Allied sale, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to its senior credit agreement, which, among other things, provided consent for the sale of Allied, reduced Net Leverage thresholds throughout the remaining term of the loan to reflect the reduced debt, waived the fourth quarter 2020 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement and reduced the first quarter 2021 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio requirement to 1.0x. Under the terms of Amendment No. 4, Charah Solutions repaid $30 million of term debt and applied the remainder of the net proceeds to its Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company expects the sale of Allied and corresponding debt reduction will improve its 2021 leverage ratios. We have provided supplemental financial information relating to this transaction on our website at www.charah.com.

Houlihan Lokey acted as financial advisor to Charah Solutions, Inc. and Vinson & Elkins LLP provided legal counsel.

Exactus, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

Total Net Revenue of $678,050
Achieved Gross Profit of $114,529
Continuation of Sales & Marketing Buildout
Alibaba Storefront Launch

DELRAY BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Exactus, Inc. (OTCQB:EXDI) (the "Company") a leading supplier of hemp-derived ingredients (CBD/CBG) and feminized hemp genetics, reported its financial results for the third quarter 2020.

During the third quarter of 2020, and through a time of pandemic, Exactus continued to generate year over year revenue growth up from $60,153 in the third quarter of 2019 to $678,050 in the third quarter of 2020, producing a gross profit of $114,529 for the quarter ended September 30 2020.

As the company continues to grow its digital sales infrastructure, it has invested into its back end systems to strengthen the foundation of the global sales platform that supports the company's objectives for long term growth and scalability including the launch of the Exactus Alibaba storefront. The sector is maturing and taking a turn for the positive. The industry as a whole has experienced a major influx of investment into the space resulting in a recent departure of overleveraged companies. The company is pleased to see that consumer demand is growing, resulting in new opportunities for Exactus including distressed assets and underserved markets.

The company is proud to announce its first profitable quarter. Exactus achieved this through the reduction of operational expenses and liabilities, continued build out of marginable revenue, and development of new distribution channels including outsourced logistics and automation of the sales processes for scalable revenue growth.

Emiliano Aloi, Interim CEO of Exactus stated, "We see renewed energy in the space, from investors to consumer markets. Our processes are streamlined from outreach all the way to fulfillment. With these new tools in place, our team can scale up sales and plug in new skus in a much faster, cost efficient, and organized manner. We have a clear direction, expanding supply chain, and growing sales. We look forward to ending the year strong, and on track with our M&A growth strategy as we make Exactus healthier, leaner, and more profitable."

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Summary

Total net revenue for the third quarter 2020 was $678,050 versus $60,153 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a new customer who represented approximately 24% of the Company's net sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Net loss for the quarter was -$3,056,718 versus -$2,025,768 million in the prior year. The net loss for the third quarter 2020 was due, primarily, to a non-cash impairment of intangible assets related to farm leases due to management's intent of not pursuing further farm operations in Oregon.

Clearent’s ISV Virtual Summit Draws Hundreds of Industry Professionals

ST. LOUIS, MO / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Yesterday Clearent, a leading provider of integrated payment solutions, hosted its first virtual summit. The half-day online event included five sessions, each with the goal of educating ISVs on how they can leverage integrated payments to drive the value of their software for years to come.

The event kicked off with a keynote session hosted by Phil Ricci, VP of Marketing at Clearent. The panel included the leaders of two software companies who shared how they have been able to promote a culture of growth while successfully navigating turbulent markets and changing buyer preferences. Other sessions detailed the revenue streams associated with integrated payments, what you need to know before becoming a payment facilitator, how to boost your profits with alternative pricing strategies and the secrets of a well-thought-out exit strategy.

"Where payments and software meet is a complex environment," said Chief Revenue Officer Matt Morrow. "At Clearent, we're built different. We're a payments company, but we're also software companies as well, which means we're uniquely positioned to help ISVs grow. The event gave us a platform to share different perspectives and the approaches we're using to help ISVs solve the problems they're experiencing in the market today."

Clearent's Virtual Summit drew hundreds of professionals, including software vendors and ISOs and was also open to attendees from other payment processors. "We purposely designed the Virtual Summit to be more of a payments industry event, rather than a Clearent event," said Mark Passifione, Vice President of Partner Sales. "We wanted to create a sense of togetherness and community during COVID-19. We're firm believers that when an entire industry thrives, it works out well for everyone."

Content from the summit is available free of charge and can be accessed on demand at clearent.com/ISV-Summit.

First place winner will receive $3000, second place winner will receive $2000, and the third-place winner will receive $1000. Application deadline is December 11th, 2020 and the winner will be announced on December 18th, 2020.

With colleges and universities facing substantial losses in revenue, it is likely that tuition costs will keep climbing at a faster rate to compensate. Many of these schools are now trying to cut costs, which has reduced the number of tenured professors, has resulted in lower pay, and has put a freeze on hiring. As many of these costs are being passed onto students, Jesse Willms wants to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety associated with student debt.

Jesse Willms wants as many students as possible to apply. Understanding that students are applying for dozens-if not hundreds-of scholarships this year, Jesse Willms has simplified the application process. As an entrepreneur himself, Jesse knows how many hurdles students today are up against and looking forward to reading through applicant essays.
