EDINA, MN / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / The world is facing significant global sustainability challenges, from climate change to the degradation of the planet, plastic pollution, and the rising cost of food, water and healthcare, it is clear that something needs to change.

Geetu Sharma, founder of AlphasFuture, an investment management firm that focuses on sustainability, is setting out to be that change.

"The reality is, we can solve these problems, but we need to act with urgency. There is already innovation and investment happening in this space. We can all contribute by investing in companies that are helping solve these sustainability challenges," says Sharma.

Geetu Sharma began her career in India, where she worked in the financial markets for nearly a decade. She went on to obtain her MBA at London Business School and continued to work in London, the financial capital of Europe before moving to Geneva, Switzerland. While in Switzerland, she co-managed Pictet Asset Management's $4bn global equity strategies, with a focus on sustainable investment. It was within this role that she began to develop a greater understanding and passion for sustainable investing. Two years ago, Sharma and her family moved to the United States where she founded AlphasFuture with a mission to deliver long-term capital appreciation to investors by investing in innovation that drives sustainability.

According to Sharma, "The population is expected to grow to 10B by 2050. We are consuming natural resources at the rate of 4x what the earth can regenerate, we need to rethink how we consume, recycle, and reduce. We need to build a more sustainable economy so that we don't take more from the planet than it can support."

For Sharma and her team at AlphasFuture, this means focusing on investments that address sustainability challenges through innovation. Several advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of things, big data analytics, and digitisation are accelerating this progress. Sharma builds a portfolio of companies that are driving the push to a more sustainable economy, while avoiding companies that are having a negative impact on the planet or society.

Sharma cites fossil fuel companies as an example, "40 years ago, fossil fuels may have been one of the most lucrative investments. Today, we know that the burning of fossil fuel is a key contributor to climate change."

Cleaner fuels, such as wind and solar, are increasingly becoming viable options, so as the demand for fossil fuel declines, so will its value. Investing in fossil fuel poses a financial risk while being detrimental to our future.

Sharma seeks to educate clients on the importance of focusing on businesses and investments that will simultaneously yield high returns while also contributing to the greater good. AlphasFuture focuses on four investment sectors including Smart Energy and Materials, Sustainable Food and Agriculture, Smart Cities, and Health and Wellbeing. The team rigorously screens each company to identify those that have a positive impact under these themes, a sustainable business model, and favorable ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) practices.

"At AlphasFuture, we strongly believe investing in these companies will generate superior long term returns at lower risk for our investors whilst creating purpose driven investments," says Sharma.

The ongoing pandemic is demonstrating how vulnerable our systems are in the wake of a global disaster. We need urgent action to build more resilience in our entire ecosystem. Sustainable investing is a path to building that resilience.

"By combining capitalism with responsibility we can create long term value for our investors," says Sharma.

COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / As early as our teens, our emotions, habits, and behaviors around spending and saving are already beginning to form.

From the habits picked up from one's parents to the way pre-teens manage their allowance, the behaviors developed during this season of life tend to stick with us long past our teens. Brent Jenkins, a financial planning expert and founder of Grant Street Wealth Management understands the impact that emotions and learned behaviors have upon his client's approach to finances. Armed with this knowledge, Jenkins addresses the root of the client's behaviors and spending habits. Once an individual becomes aware of their innate emotions and tendencies, they are better positioned to manage their existing finances, build wealth, and plan for the future.

Based in Columbus, Ohio, Brent Jenkins has been in the financial planning industry since 2008.

"It was an interesting time to join the industry," Jenkins recalls with a chuckle. "I learned more over the span of a few months than many learn in years."

Jenkins was uniquely positioned in the sense that he'd experienced the height of the market for just a few months, before witnessing one of history's greatest crashes. He was able to take a calm approach when working with clients, partly because he couldn't even fathom the magnitude of lost wealth at that point.

Over the next three years, Brent Jenkins worked under another broker as he continued to hone his skills. Brent had developed a keen passion for finance, wealth management, and the intrinsic role he played in his client's lives.

"It's so rewarding to be on the pulse of someone's emotions, goals, dreams, and everyday activity," he explains.

This same passion eventually caused him to develop dissonance over working for an insurance-based brokerage. He didn't agree with his brokerage's commission-based model and felt he could be a greater advisor and better serve clients in a firm of his own.

In 2011, Brent Jenkins left the firm and set out on his own to found Grant Street Wealth Management. Nearly a decade later, Grant Street is an independent, fee-only wealth management firm dedicated to providing exceptional service to their clients. Their services range from tailored financial planning, investment asset allocation, wealth management, retirement, and quarterbacking trust and estate planning. Privately owned and not affiliated with any banks or larger financial institutes, they offer unbiased, results-oriented financial advice.

Brent Jenkins and his team at Grant Street implement a holistic approach within their client services.

"We recognize that as financial planners, we wear many hats, Jenkins explains, "All at once I must be a financial advisor, therapist, ally and friend."

Jenkins seeks to help clients become aware of the emotions and learned behaviors that influence their spending, saving, and investing habits. Other firms make the mistake of taking a supercilious approach to financial advising. This type of relationship may yield temporary results, but Jenkins is more interested in long-term results. Lasting success is directly tied to a strong foundation.

Clients of Grant Street Wealth Management can expect one-on-one customized service from Jenkins and his team of highly trained financial advisors.

"We're a boutique firm, we're not interested in being the largest firm in the nation," says Jenkins.

This mindset allows Jenkins to dedicate more time and resources to each client he works with. Once Jenkins has helped clients understand the emotions and habits tied to their finances, he works diligently to educate them on how to best plan for their future.

"At the end of the day, people deserve to truly understand their finances, now more than ever, what people really need is someone in their corner," explains Jenkins.

Jonathan Weiss recently explained what he has learned throughout his career as a real estate investor in two interviews

GREENWICH, CT / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / In two recent interviews with Kivo Daily and Thrive Global, Jonathan Weiss explained what he has learned throughout his career as a real estate investor and shared valuable insights about entrepreneurship and overcoming obstacles.

In the interview with Kivo Daily, Mr. Weiss explained why he decided to become a real estate investor.

"It is a way to make a big impact on the world. I like creating spaces for people to live and to work," explained Jonathan Weiss.

He further shared that the real estate industry requires somewhat of an appetite for risk, which he believes is an important trait for any entrepreneur or innovator. He explained that being an entrepreneur involves a high risk/high reward outlook and that the potential for high reward and outsized returns is a real driver for most successful real estate owners and developers.

He also shared one thing that he did at the onset of his career that he would change if he could.

"I would have taken more risks early on and not be scared to make a mistake. I would have just dived in and learned from my mistakes instead of being scared into indecision," said Jonathan Weiss.

In his interview with Thrive Global, Mr. Weiss said that the hardest obstacle he has overcome is battling an addiction with opiates after having several shoulder surgeries. After recovering from it, he believes the obstacles he has overcome have made him stronger.

He also offered some advice for others.

"Be mindful and stay in the moment. Enjoy the journey. Life is very fragile. Through a lot of the experiences that I've had, I've realized how fragile life is," said Jonny Weiss.

"I've also been guilty of projecting into the future and creating stress and anxiety for myself because I worried about what could happen in the future and anticipating negative events in the future. I had to really work on mindfulness and some meditation techniques to overcome that. I am grateful for each day that I have, for being healthy, and for the friends and family that are in my life."

About Jonathan Weiss

Jonathan Weiss was born in New York City, but raised in Greenwich, Connecticut from about nine years old. He grew up as a devoted and competitive athlete excelling in multiple sports, eventually narrowing and focusing his talents on baseball. He was intensely recruited by an array of Division I college baseball programs, initially playing for Boston College for his freshman year, transferring to Tulane for three years, and eventually finishing his studies at Cornell University. Though he majored in psychology, baseball remained a clear passion for much of his life. Unfortunately, after suffering a major injury during a game that sidelined him for a season, this injury led to subsequent shoulder surgeries, effectively ending his baseball career.

After college and after this loss of his central passion, Jonathan began to explore new fields, pursuing work in several industries including finance, sports management, health & fitness and medicine. He was searching for a career in which he could wholly devote his drive, intellect and heart after the loss of baseball.

Eventually, Jonathan Weiss found that real estate merged his multiple interests and could allow for a fertile and exciting career. For the past five years his focus and determination has been in this space, working in multiple roles, at multiple levels and pursuing a graduate degree to broaden his expertise, experience and network. After excelling in various roles at Red Sky Capital, he left in 2019 to complete a master's program in Real Estate Finance & Investment, graduating from New York University. He is currently looking for real estate investment and consulting opportunities across the country.

SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Qtum, an open-source blockchain project that leverages proof-of-stake (POS) consensus and different virtual machines to power business-friendly smart contracts, has just moved one step closer to realizing its decentralized finance (DeFi) ambitions, with the completion of the QiSwap testnet phase.

QiSwap is a decentralized exchange protocol that is used to provide liquidity for QTUM and QRC20 assets based on automated market making (AMM) algorithms. Through QiSwap, anybody will be able to create new markets, provide liquidity, and build DeFi applications on top of Qtum that were previously not available.

By leveraging the Qtum blockchain, QiSwap is able to offer extremely low transaction fees, rapid transaction confirmation times, and an additional revenue stream for Qtum and QRC20 liquidity providers, who will earn fees with every completed trade. The platform will be powered by the QiSwap token (Qi), which will be used for community governance.

Though QiSwap is an independent project, it is working in close collaboration with the Qtum team to ensure the synergistic development of the platform.

Now, less than three months after the launch of the QiSwap public testnet, the product is set to move to its mainnet launch. On November 13, QiSwap will conduct phase 1 of the mainnet launch and the platform will go live with one trading pair: QTUM-QC. After this, the following schedule will apply:

Phase 2: Two weeks after launch, the QiSwap token and economic model will go live, and new trading pairs will be added.
Phase 3: Three weeks after launch, QiSwap will cooperate with major exchanges for listing and add new trading pairs.
Phrase 4: Date TBD. The governance contract for the Qi token will launch, enabling community governance of the QiSwap protocol.

QiSwap aims to target several major trading pairs first and foremost, including: Qtum-QC (Qcash); Qtum-qBTC (wrapped BTC); Qtum-qETH (wrapped ETH); and Qtum-qFil (wrapped Filecoin). At a later date, QiSwap users will be able to add their own custom QRC20 token pairs.

The QiSwap smart contracts recently passed an audit by SlowMist, a prominent security audit and consulting platform, which has completed more than 800 audits of well-known smart contracts to date. Zero vulnerabilities were found, but a small number of enhancement suggestions were put forward-which the QiSwap team are considering for future releases.

About Qtum

Qtum is an open sourced public blockchain platform that enables multiple virtual machines including EVM and soon, the x86 VM. Qtum is PoS based and boasts a Decentralized Governance Protocol (DGP) allowing specific blockchain settings to be modified by making use of smart contracts. The security and transparency of Bitcoin's UTXO model combined with Ethereum's EVM and a customized proof-of-stake mechanism provides stability and transaction finality.

About QiSwap

QiSwap is the first fully decentralized protocol that automatically provides liquidity for QTUM and QRC20 assets based on automated market making (AMM) algorithms. Built on top of the Qtum blockchain, QiSwap benefits from extreme speed, transparency, and security, giving anybody a means to source and provide liquidity through one easy-to-access platform.

Major players in the truck and bus radial (TBR) tire market are pushing for the development of sustainable production processes for affordable offerings, without compromising on performance standards.

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / The truck and bus radial tire market is expected to grow at a healthy 5% CAGR through the end of 2030.

"Growing use of low-rolling resistance and self-inflation by manufacturers, driven by benefits of higher fuel efficiency is expected to drive demand for truck and bus radial tires in commercial applications in the years to come," says the Fact.MR analyst.

Europe's biggest CBD marketplace completes £1.1m seed funding round. Investment to be used to launch new services and U.S. expansion. Global CBD market poised for a 'significant growth phase'.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Alphagreen – Europe's leading marketplace for CBD and alternative healthcare products – has secured £1.1M of seed funding to help finance the rollout of new products and services alongside their expansion into the U.S.

This is the largest amount raised to date in Europe for a CBD marketplace. Participants in the seed round included Stockholm-based Enexis AB, US Cannabis Fund West Creek Investments and angel investors, including Igor and Oleg Tikhturov.

"At the moment, the majority of turnover comes from commission fees, content creation, and display ads. This injection of funding will allow Alphagreen to launch and offer a new range of integrated e-commerce services incl. fulfillment, performance marketing, localisation, and data analytics to address specific problems faced by makers of CBD and alternative healthcare products, much in the way that The Hut Group operates."

Amaury De Poret from Enexis commented that, "Enexis is delighted to support the continued growth of Alphagreen. With its innovative solutions and strong technical abilities, the company is uniquely positioned in the key CBD online marketplace segment."

US Cannabis Fund, West Creek Investments Walter Arnold said: "Alexej and the Alphagreen team have identified a unique and mutually beneficial way to connect high-quality CBD brands with interested consumers, through an out-sourced direct-to-consumer model. U.S. brands are looking for growth opportunities in the UK and Europe, and Alphagreen provides them with a strong platform to scale in these regions."

Alphagreen generates revenue from companies listing products on its platform as well as offering them end-to-end e-commerce technology services including translation, SEO and other marketing support. The London-based startup currently generates organic traffic of 50K unique visitors a month and 80K page views and is growing at an impressive rate 30-40% month on month. This investment will enable Alphagreen to significantly increase the support they provide to consumers brands through their tech-enabled services.

"The funding allows us to set up a new service in the U.S., the world's biggest CBD market. We'll establish and run a bespoke platform for American consumers looking to buy products as well as help leading U.S. brands, such as Charlotte's Web, enter Europe and list their products on our site," said Alexej Pikovsky, co-founder and CEO of Alphagreen.

"The global market is poised for a significant growth phase. The wider U.S. cannabis market is currently enjoying robust expansion, with the sector rallying by over 50% in the last month."

"On top of this, investor optimism has been boosted by hopes Joe Biden's presidential victory could lead to further decriminalisation. In addition, the UN next month will be discussing descheduling cannabis as well as providing clarity around the international trade of CBD products."

"These factors will provide significant support for the CBD industry in particular – and Alphagreen will be perfectly positioned to benefit from these fundamental changes to the way the market will function."

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2020 / Dr. Amir Bajoghli of Skin and Laser Dermatology Center and Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Georgetown University School of Medicine and Dr. Michael A. Cardis of MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, along with medical assistant Gabriela Hernandez, recently published their findings on hydroxychloroquine-induced hyperpigmentation in the premier and esteemed Journal of Rheumatology.

Their findings highlight hyperpigmentation of the skin as an underrecognized side-effect of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Dr. Amir Bajoghli encountered a patient who had been taking HCQ for twelve years to treat an autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). HCQ is a common treatment for SLE, however, the darkening skin on her upper arms is not regularly diagnosed as a side-effect. This is important for the education of prescribing physicians.

Dr. Amir Bajoghli is honored to publish this finding with his colleague Dr. Cardis, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist who determined the pathology and contributed to the reporting of this publication.

Dr. Bajoghli has been active in the field of dermatology, Mohs micrographic surgery, and cosmetic services for over twenty years. He regularly presents lectures to other physicians regionally and internationally, and teaches medical students and dermatology residents at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
