Accomplished Attorney Releases Updated Examination of the Impact Roe v. Wade Continues to have on American Law and Society

Author C. Paul Smith presents his latest book to provide a thorough summary of the legal arguments in favor of recognizing a fetal right to life

FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Controversial from the very beginning, Roe v. Wade has been one of the most well-known and divisive Supreme Court cases in the last 50 years. It has affected how the Constitution is interpreted, been the foundation for change in U.S. laws and societal morality, divided the nation on moral issues, and continues to be a hot topic in political debate. Because the case remains impactful and relevant in today’s society and law, author and attorney C. Paul Smith decided to republish his book “The Fetal Right to Life Argument” to provide significant revisions and updates that include many of the subsequent Supreme Court cases that have interpreted, modified, and extended Roe v. Wade.

Originally published in 1977, Smith wrote “The Fetal Right to Life Argument” as a result of a research project he did on Roe v. Wade while attending Brigham Young University Law School and just four years after the U.S. Supreme Court had made their decision in the case. The information within the second edition of Smith’s book will be helpful to those who really want to understand Roe v. Wade, as he has found the original case often to be misrepresented.

“After the Roe v. Wade ruling, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights published a very biased report that criticized all the right-to-life proposals,” said Smith. “The material in my book answers and repudiates the one-sided and erroneous arguments of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights while also providing a thorough summary of the legal arguments in favor of recognizing a fetal right to life and exposes the flawed argument of those who supported the ruling.”

Smith is also creating a collection of argument based legal books which will include two of his published books, “The Fetal Right to Life Argument” (1977/2020) and “The Capitalism Argument, and the Fatal Flaws of Socialism” (2019) and several others he is currently working on including “The Climate Change Hoax Argument”, “The Freedom of Speech Argument”, and “The Heterosexual Marriage Argument”.

Terranet to Showcase Breakthrough VoxelFlow™ Technology at STARTUP AUTOBAHN

The Scandinavian Leaders in Driving Automation Software also Announces Rebrand, Ensuring Safety on Future Roadways.

Lund, Sweden, February 9, 2021Terranet AB (Terranet/the Company), (Nasdaq: TERRNT-B.ST), developers of advanced driver-assist systems and the creators of breakthrough 3D motion awareness technology VoxelFlow™, announced today that it’d be participating in STARTUP AUTOBAHN where it will highlight recent developments to its premier VoxelFlow™ technology. Terranet is also announcing today that it has completed its rebrand, solidifying its commitment to ensuring safety across Autonomous Vehicles (AV) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), securing its place in Scandinavia’s rich history of bringing innovative safety changes to the automobile industry. 

STARTUP AUTOBAHN is an open innovation platform that provides an interface between innovative tech companies and industry-leading corporations. At the virtual event on February 25, 2021, Terranet will showcase VoxelFlow’s™ lightning-fast 3D technology that scans the area around AV and ADAS vehicle at a radius of 40 meters with a response time of three milliseconds, much faster than today’s ADAS systems which take 300 milliseconds. A breakout session will follow Terranet’s VoxelFlow™ showcase, where the Company will engage directly with attendees interested in learning more about the revolutionary technology. STARTUP AUTOBAHN is powered by Plug and Play, and sponsored by Dalmer and the University of Stugart. 

“Since the invention of the automobile, Scandinavia has been a leader in ensuring that they are as safe as possible for the passenger,” said Pär-Olof Johannesson, CEO of Terranet. “VoxelFlow’s™patented, triple camera and sensor system, which will be a crucial part of the systems that make ADAS and AVs, is the next evolution in automobile safety, not only keeping passengers safe, but also ensuring the safety of all others sharing the roadways.”

Much like Volvo revolutionized the automobile industry by introducing the modern seatbelt over sixty years ago, Terranet plans to take a similar road as it brings its revolutionary VoxelFlow™ technology to market with a particular focus on passenger safety. Today, over 94% of all accidents are caused by human error, with a significant amount of those crashes occurring within 30-40 meters. Terranet plans to address those harrowing statistics with its VoxelFlow™ technology that will have the ability to classify dynamic moving objects in high resolution with extremely low latency using very low computational power, a key differentiator between the existing camera, lidar and frame-based sensor systems commonly relied on in the Driving Automation industry.

About Terranet

Terranet develops software for radio-based solutions and three-dimensional image analysis for advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles (ADAS and AV).

Equifax Acquires Open Banking and Transaction Data Analytics Company AccountScore

PR Newswire

ATLANTA, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Equifax, Inc. (NYSE: EFX) has acquired transaction data analytics company AccountScore Holdings Limited to bolster its Open Banking and insights capabilities.

The acquisition will see Equifax enhance its consumer and commercial product offerings, combining traditional credit bureau information held by Equifax with bank transaction data, facilitated by AccountScore.

Integration of these new data assets will enable Equifax clients to benefit from higher rates of automated, digital income verification, to carry out more granular assessments of affordability and expenditure and offer more predictive and inclusive credit scoring, by using the most up-to-date information available.

For consumers, this combined data approach will improve an individual’s ability to demonstrate their creditworthiness by enabling information that isn’t currently used to be taken into consideration. This approach enables financial inclusion for those with ‘thin’ credit files, increasing their potential access to credit at a time of great financial uncertainty.

“This is a really exciting development for Equifax and the acquisition of AccountScore, our long-term partner in open banking, is a natural next step as we continue to expand our data and analytics capabilities,” said Patricio Remon, President of Europe at Equifax. “AccountScore is a pioneering company with a proven track record of building innovative Open Banking platforms and this signals our commitment to continuously evolve and embrace strategic innovation to support our clients’ digital transformation, and will bring many benefits for their customers.”

“More than 2.5m UK consumers and businesses now use Open Banking-enabled products to manage their finances, access credit and make payments. This growth is helping to empower a generation of consumers, giving them more control over their own financial information, offering them greater access to a wider range of financial products and making it much easier to complete simple digital applications.”

“AccountScore and Equifax have an established and successful partnership, having collaborated on a number of products and offerings over the last two years,” saidEmma Steeley, CEO at AccountScore. “This acquisition allows AccountScore to accelerate its growth and reach new customers, backed by a powerful global company.”

“Open Banking is going from strength to strength, with the adoption in both the consumer and SME markets growing rapidly each month. We have seen lenders power improved credit decisions and account management processes using Open Banking to ultimately better service their customers.”

The acquisition positions Equifax at the forefront of the latest trends in Smart Data, including the transition of Open Banking to Open Finance, to incorporate data on additional financial services products such as insurance policies, pensions and mortgages.

Regulatory approval for the acquisition has been received from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

:

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenues is related to the acquisitions made by the Company and represents revenues adjusted for the impact of the fair value adjustment to acquired deferred revenue related to purchase accounting. Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income after including deferred revenues related to the fair value adjustment resulting from purchase accounting and excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax asset adjustment, changes in taxes related items and other acquisition-related expenses.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP results and a full reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the accompanying Table 2. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they present a better measure of the Company’s core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company’s ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company’s operating performance.

Chinese Aesthetic Treatment Industry White Paper 2020 Jointly Released By AIH and Forbes China

PR Newswire

SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Aesthetic Medical International Holdings Group Limited (the “Company” or “AIH”, Nasdaq: AIH), a leading provider of aesthetic medical services in China, and Forbes China have jointly released the Chinese Aesthetic Treatment Industry White Paper 2020 (the “White Paper”), the first white paper on the aesthetic treatment industry in China.

At a length of about 40,000 words, the White Paper defines the Chinese aesthetic treatment industry in a professional manner, sheds light on the status quo of the development of the market, and reveals the latest expansion of the industry as well as the ever-evolving trends of consumer segments. The release of the White Paper marks a milestone for the aesthetic treatment industry in China, hence the onset of a market marching from fragmentation to consolidation and from irregularity to regularity.

As of 2020, the market size of the Chinese aesthetic treatment industry has reached more than USD 30 billion, but the overall market penetration rate is still far behind that of developed countries. An annual growth rate in excess of 20% for the next few years is generally projected by the investors; consequently, throughout 2020, the amount of investment and financing in the sector within China has reached RMB 80 billion (USD 11.7 billion).

However, it should also be noted that the market — teeming with a large number of players, many of which are small scaled — is characterized by considerable deficiencies and non-compliance. In the past two years, AIH has successively acquired 13 aesthetic medical centers and has normalized medical aesthetics services with standardized measures, which have yielded satisfying results. Going forward, AIH will leverage the power of the capital market to expand externally through M&A and other strategies, thus maintaining a leading position in this fast-growing market and conveying its sense of social responsibility as a public company.

Dr. Zhou Pengwu, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented, “Forbes China’s decision to collaborate in this White Paper is a recognition, apparently by mainstream media, of values that AIH has adhered to — bringing beauty by delivering safe, high-quality aesthetic medical services. It is also an acknowledgement of the conscientiousness by AIH employees for over two decades. Meanwhile , we are keenly aware of AIH’s responsibilities to consumers, investors, and the whole society. As the industry’s first listed company in China, we effectively serve as a leading role model in the industry and hold fast to such a mindset, the mindset living up to the well-deserved reputation of a public company.”

About Forbes China

Founded in New York in 1917 with the motto “entrepreneurship and wealth creation”, Forbes has become an industry leader pronounced in its entrepreneurial and innovative spirits. The lists produced by Forbes are hailed as the economic barometer and the leading indicator of wealth. Harboring its entrepreneurial and innovative spirits, Forbes launched in China in 2003 and has since produced a series of lists, research, activities, and other platforms, including the “Forbes China Rich List”. Forbes China is committed to creating an enterprising interactive community for high-end customers, providing a forward-looking and shared environment, and building an entrepreneurial and innovative information ecosystem.

About AIH

Aesthetic Medical International Holdings Group Limited (NASDAQ:AIH), founded in Shenzhen, China in 1997, is an international listed group specialized in aesthetic medical services as well as the first aesthetic medical services organization listed in China’s main board. AIH has always prioritized the safety and quality of aesthetic services, making it one of aesthetic services institutions with the best medical safety records as well as with the longest history in the industry and thus enjoying prestige in the society and among consumers.

Domestically headquartered in Shenzhen and internationally headquartered in Singapore, AIH’s treatment centers operate in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore. The company boasts an outstanding medical service team of more than 2,000 employees and 240 senior doctors with an average of over 10 years of experience, more than 30 of whom hold doctor’s or master’s degrees or serve as the supervisors thereof.

PARTNERSHIPS CAN FURTHER ACCELERATE THE FUTURE OF PRIVATE TRAVEL IN FACE OF COVID-19, SAYS VISTAJET INDUSTRY RESEARCH

London, February 9, 2021: Strategic industry partnerships — linking businesses across different segments of the luxury travel, hospitality and leisure sector — are widely seen as a key component to further the recovery from the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. New research from VistaJet, the first and only global business aviation company, in association with Barton, the high-net-worth insight consultants, demonstrates the far-ranging value placed on partnerships by leading businesses in the sector.

While private aviation has continued to see an influx of new customers, according to VistaJet’s report, The Future of Private Travel, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has in general been severe for many international luxury travel and hospitality businesses, with over three-quarters (77.8%) of businesses having seen net revenue fall by at least 60% year-on-year, and around 43% seeing a drop of over 90%. Despite a promising vaccine program, many businesses are still cautious about forecasting a quick recovery in the immediate months ahead. However, 25.9% are optimistic and are starting to refocus their offering onto a HNW target group, predicting a rapid recovery to pre-pandemic levels. VistaJet itself saw an increase of 29% in new Members joining in 2020, while its sister brand XO has seen new membership sales up 3x.

Many businesses are already innovating to rethink their operational and commercial strategies — 94.4% having taken or are planning action to innovate their customer service and experience protocols, and 62.3% of businesses have already introduced new offerings, products or services, with increased digital services and more personalized concierge offerings being particularly in-demand.

As businesses look ahead, it is clear that a majority of industry leaders are looking to collaborative partnerships outside of their core business, to help mitigate the negative impact of travel restrictions and ensure their clients continue to experience unparalleled end-to-end service throughout their journey. 86.5% of businesses are taking action to collaborate with other top players within the industry, including hotels, tour designers, private aviation, yachts, chauffeur and concierge services. Additionally, 46.8% have said that partnerships are already helping to generate further revenue during the pandemic, which is notable due to the limitations on travel globally in 2020, while 70% are looking to establish new partnerships within the next 12 months.

Partnerships can provide customers with an integrated service at every stage of their travels, with safer and more reliable experiences in the uncertain world of COVID-19. For example, VistaJet’s own partnerships program, Private World, leverages its relationships to provide customers with a bespoke travel experience, from pre-flight to flight and accommodation, with preferred services already lined up at destination — from yachts to hotels, private islands and retreats. This is just one solution of many within the industry.

Ian Moore, Chief Commercial Officer, VistaJet said: “While the impact of COVID-19 has been significant on a number of luxury travel, hospitality and leisure businesses, it is clear that business aviation is leading this entire sector with a V-shaped recovery. Hence, we are increasing the number of partnerships to help accelerate the whole sector’s path to recovery. As consumers continue to be burdened with complicated travel restrictions, they look for simple solutions they know are safe and reliable. Collaboration between the best mobility and hospitality players on the ground provides not only peace of mind, but also the high-quality service and impeccable standards our customers have come to expect. I continue to be optimistic for the long-term growth and opportunities of the sector.”

Winston Chesterfield, Founder, Barton said: “While almost every industry has been adversely impacted by the pandemic, the global travel and hospitality sector has been the most brutally affected. There is no alternate or flexible working format for most of these businesses; legally mandated closure is often fatal. And yet as this report shows, there is still great hope for the recovery. The eagerness of many wealthy clients to ‘get back out there’ after the initial fear from the virus has been a shot in the arm for the industry. It has also required these wealthy clients to place even greater trust in those organizations enabling this to happen. It is the fulfilment of this trust in the foreseeable future that will help to fire up this giant global ecosystem once more.”

SunHydrogen Provides Update and Shares Newly Taken Images of its Gen 1 Demonstration Units


Production is on track for beginning of Q2

SANTA BARBARA, CA, Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTC:HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, today shared an update and published new, recently taken photos of its Gen 1 demonstration program units being assembled by Suzhou GH New Energy Tech Co. in Suzhou China. Photos of the Gen 1 program units are shared with the public here, and images and video will continue to be added as they are made available.

“These images reflect the progress and strength of the working relationship we have established with Suzhou GH New Energy,” said Tim Young, CEO of SunHydrogen, Inc. “As SunHydrogen and its technologies grow in visibility within the energy and renewables sectors as well as global capital markets, it is important for us to ensure potential partners, customers and investors are informed of progress. Suzhou GH New Energy has performed the work on schedule, and has been incredibly insightful in overcoming the design issues we faced last year. We would also like to thank Suzhou Maimaosi Sensor Technology for their diligence and expertise in the electroplating process of the cells, and look forward to sharing additional updates as we determine possible demonstration sites.” 


Gen 1 program
technology uses multi-junction amorphous silicon solar cells, and is designed to provide a clear proof of concept and demonstrate the potential for scalable growth and commercial viability of the Gen 2 program. As shown in the images, SunHydrogen is completing the build-out of the 100 prototype solar hydrogen units that include proprietary solar cell assembly with applied coatings and catalysts, and the housing for safe hydrogen collection.

In 2019, SunHydrogen demonstrated 1000 hours of continuous hydrogen production utilizing Gen 1 cell technology, which allowed it to then focus on scaling up the technology. While the overall efficiency of the cells is low, SunHydrogen continues to gain significant and valuable insight during experimentation that it intends to leverage in the development of its Gen 2 nanoparticle technology. SunHydrogen anticipates completing the 100 demonstration units in the beginning of Q2 of 2021, enabling the Company to leverage them as further proof of concept as the Company looks to accelerate its nano-technology development.

SunHydrogen’s Gen 2 program is one that the Company believes is most economical from a technology and commercial viability standpoint. By gaining and leveraging insights from the Gen 1 program, Gen 2 technology is well positioned to attain three times the solar-to-hydrogen efficiency and represents a potential tipping point for market-changing hydrogen production.

About SunHydrogen, Inc.

SunHydrogen is developing a breakthrough, low-cost technology to make renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, including seawater and wastewater. Unlike hydrocarbon fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, where carbon dioxide and other contaminants are released into the atmosphere when used, hydrogen fuel usage produces pure water as the only byproduct. By optimizing the science of water electrolysis at the nano-level, our low-cost nanoparticles mimic photosynthesis to efficiently use sunlight to separate hydrogen from water, ultimately producing environmentally friendly renewable hydrogen. Using our low-cost method to produce renewable hydrogen, we intend to enable a world of distributed hydrogen production for renewable electricity and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.  To learn more about SunHydrogen, please visit our website at www.SunHydrogen.com.
