Top-Rated Veteran Nonprofit to Bring Holiday Cheer to U.S. Service Members, Veterans and Their Families with Worldwide Shipment of more than 17,000 Ornaments

Camp Pendleton, CA, Nov. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Semper Fi & America’s Fund today announced the successful completion of their 12th annual Holiday Ornament Packing Party. Each year, this initiative brings together hundreds of volunteers from the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for an event to package thousands of holiday ornaments that are shipped to U.S. service members, veterans and their families living or stationed around the world. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s party took place virtually in the homes of volunteers.

The packaged ornaments will be delivered this Sunday, November 22 between 8am-12pm EST at the General Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller VFW Post #1503 on 14631 Minnieville Road in Dale City, Virginia. Interested media are invited to attend to film the packing of the ornaments in the truck, which will then be sent for mailing and distribution.

“This event is our official kick-off to the holiday season at The Fund and although it had a different look and feel this year, we are always excited to spread holiday cheer in any way possible” said Karen Guenther, President, CEO and Founder of Semper Fi and American’s Fund.

This year, more than 17,000 ornaments will be mailed to service members, veterans and their families from every branch of the Armed Forces who have been wounded, ill or injured since September 11, 2001. Each ornament has a holiday design with The Fund’s logo. Volunteers included Semper Fi & America’s Fund case managers, staff and volunteers.

“Each year these ornaments arrive into the home of our service members and are hung on their family trees. It is a tangible symbol of their sacrifices will always be remembered. Whether it’s the holidays or any day, we want servicemembers, veterans and their families to know that they will never be alone,” added Guenther.

Canada’s First and Largest 5G Network Expands to Manitoba

Supporting the latest 5G devices, Rogers 5G is now available in parts of Winnipeg and Brandon

Powered exclusively by Ericsson, Rogers 5G will change the way Manitoba residents and businesses connect to the world around them

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Nov. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rogers Communications today announced that it has turned on its 5G service on Canada’s most trusted and reliable network¹ in Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba.

Customers in these locations on Rogers Infinite and Rogers for Business Shared Unlimited Data plans with compatible 5G devices will now have access to this next generation wireless technology. More than 2.2 million Canadians are on 5G-ready Rogers Infinite unlimited data plans.

Including these communities, Rogers 5G network powered by Ericsson, now reaches a total of 134 cities and towns across the country offering 10x more coverage than any other carrier. See full 5G coverage map here.

“The arrival of 5G in Manitoba will change the way we live, work and do business here,” said Larry Goerzen, President of Prairies and Alberta, Rogers Communications. “5G represents a massive technological transformation that will connect everything in our world from people and machines, to homes and cities. Beyond that, strong digital infrastructure and this next generation technology are critical to fuel productivity and innovation in the future as we reset the competitive landscape in Manitoba and for Canada, globally.”

5G will introduce new capabilities that are significantly more advanced than previous generations of wireless technology. Over the next several years, 5G will transform businesses and industries with increased speed and capacity, more efficient use of spectrum and lower latency. 5G will also support a massive increase in the number of connected devices that require near instantaneous access for applications like augmented and virtual reality, smart cities, robotics and driverless vehicles.

“On behalf of the Manitoba government, we welcome the expansion of Rogers 5G network into Winnipeg and Brandon, along with the benefits it will bring to our economy and communities,” said Hon. Ralph Eichler, Manitoba Minister of Economic Development and Training. “This expansion will bring new technology to our businesses and contribute to Manitoba’s long-term competitiveness.”

In addition to providing Canadians with the latest technology, wireless industry investments in 5G networks are expected to contribute an estimated $40 billion annually to the country’s economy and 250,000 permanent new jobs by 2026.³

“We are extremely pleased to see business investment in our Province towards more robust technology for individuals and businesses alike and we’re specifically thrilled to see Brandon included in Rogers map of 5G communities,” said Mayor of Brandon, Rick Chrest.

Rogers has invested over $30 billion over the past 35 years to build Canada’s most trusted and reliable wireless network.1 In 2020, the company was awarded the best wireless network in Canada for the second year in a row by umlaut, the global leader in mobile network testing and benchmarking. Rogers is also ranked number one in the West, including Manitoba, and Ontario in the J.D. Power 2020 Canada Wireless Network Quality Study. A recent 2020 Ookla Speedtest report found Rogers wireless network delivers the most consistent speeds of any national wireless network in Canada.

About Galera Therapeutics

Galera Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer. Galera’s lead product candidate is avasopasem manganese (GC4419), a highly selective small molecule superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic initially being developed for the reduction of radiation-induced severe oral mucositis (SOM). Avasopasem is being studied in the Phase 3 ROMAN trial to assess its ability to reduce the incidence and severity of SOM induced by radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC), its lead indication. It is also being studied in the EUSOM Phase 2a multi-center trial in Europe assessing the safety of avasopasem in patients with HNC undergoing standard-of-care radiotherapy, the AESOP Phase 2a trial to assess its ability to reduce the incidence of esophagitis induced by radiotherapy in patients with lung cancer, and a Phase 2 trial in hospitalized patients who are critically ill with COVID-19. A pilot Phase 1/2 trial of avasopasem in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer has completed enrollment and reported interim results, with follow-up ongoing. The FDA granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations to avasopasem for the reduction of SOM induced by radiotherapy. Galera’s second dismutase mimetic product candidate, GC4711, is being developed specifically to augment the anti-cancer efficacy of SBRT, and is currently being studied in the GRECO-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial in combination with SBRT in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Peabody Energy Corporation Investors: Last Days to Participate Actively in the Class Action Lawsuit: Portnoy Law Firm

Investors with losses are encouraged to contact the firm before November 24, 2020; click

to submit trade information

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Portnoy Law Firm advises investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) investors that acquired shares between April 3, 2017 and October 28, 2019. Investors have until November 24, 2020 to seek an active role in this litigation.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, to determine eligibility to participate in this action, by phone 310-692-8883 or email, or click here to join the case.

According to the Complaint, Peabody made misleading and/or false statements to the market. At its North Goonyella mine, Peabody failed to follow appropriate safety controls, placing it at a heightened risk of being shut down. Peabody followed a low-cost plan to restart operations that did not address environmental and safety concerns. The Queensland Mines Inspectorate was likely to mandate a more costly, safer approach. Based on this difference, Peabody suffered further delays in reopening the mine. Peabody’s public statements were materially misleading and false throughout the class period, based on these facts. Investors suffered damages when the market learned the truth about Peabody.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 24, 2020.

SAN FRANCISCO, California, Nov. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Innovator and creator of first-to-market skincare solutions, Peace Out Skincare is launching its award-winning Acne Treatment Dot in Canada with exclusive partner Sephora. The patent-pending Acne Dot disrupted the skincare market when it launched in the US in 2017 by combining hydrocolloid polymer technology with active anti-acne fighting and healing ingredients for the very first time. In Canada, all skincare used to treat medical conditions, such as acne, are rigorously vetted by Health Canada. The submission must include consumer studies that prove the efficacy and quality of the product. Peace Out Skincare is the first and only brand to launch a patch that is certified to help heal acne in Canada.

“Peace Out Skincare’s number one priority is creating effective, clean, and fun skincare treatments that actually work,” stated Enrico Frezza, Founder and CEO of Peace Out Skincare. “Health Canada’s authorization further validates Peace Out’s Acne Dot as the first and only approved acne treatment dot in Canada.”

On his quest for a solution that worked for his own acne, Frezza spent three years developing the initial Acne Dot. Subsequently, Frezza continued to invent industry-first skincare products—Wrinkles, Pores, Puffy Eyes, Dark Spots and more—all utilizing novel delivery systems and incorporating unique blends of high quality clean ingredients.

The international brand began selling a limited selection of its products through Sephora Canada in May of this year. The Peace Out Acne Treatment Dot will hit Sephora.ca today, November 20th and in stores November 27th retailing for $25 CAD.
