EB5 Capital Celebrates the Closing of Hutchinson Island (JF38)

WASHINGTON, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, EB5 Capital announced the closing of its $40 million preferred equity investment in Daniel Corporation’s Hutchinson Island (JF38) apartment project, located in Savannah, Georgia.

EB5 Capital is making a $40 million preferred equity investment in Daniel Corporation’s 288-unit, Class A multifamily property located across the Savannah River from Historic Downtown Savannah. The project is near the Convention Center and The Westin Harbor Golf Resort and will consist of six residential buildings that are four stories in height with 462 parking spaces. Hutchinson Island (JF38) is scheduled to break ground imminently, and the first units are expected to be delivered in early 2025.

“Savannah has seen significant job growth and capital investment in recent years, following the increased economic activity at the Port of Savannah,” said Jonathan Mullen, EB5 Capital’s Senior Vice President of Investments. “Additionally, Savannah has demonstrated strong multifamily market fundamentals, posting positive net absorption in 17 of the past 20 quarters along with significant annual rent growth.”

Due to the escalating interest rates and the challenges confronting U.S. banks, many lenders have chosen to pull back and adopt stricter lending standards, leading to challenges for borrowers to fully capitalize development deals. “The preferred equity investment from EB5 Capital enabled us to significantly reduce the amount of common equity required and create a capital stack accretive to Daniel Corporation and our partners,” said Carter Bryars, Daniel Corporation’s Chief Operating Officer.

EB5 Capital provides preferred equity investments for ground-up development across the United States. The company has successfully raised approximately one billion dollars since inception and continues to seek investments in multifamily assets with sponsors that have a proven track record of success.

This is EB5 Capital’s first partnership with Daniel Corporation, a reputable developer founded in 1964 and based in Birmingham, Alabama.  Daniel has $1.2 billion in active project investments, primarily through development and management platforms, and has developed or managed over 20,000 multifamily units and over 20 million square feet of commercial and industrial space.

About EB5 Capital

EB5 Capital provides qualified foreign investors with opportunities to invest in job-creating commercial real estate projects under the United States Immigrant Investor Program (EB-5 Visa Program). As one of the oldest and most active Regional Center operators in the country, the firm has raised approximately one billion dollars of foreign capital across more than 30 EB-5 projects.

Growth in Patient and Medical Community Engagement in NASH Community Persists Despite Recent Regulatory Disappointment

Global Liver Institute Convenes Largest Number of Community Events around the World in the 6 Years of International NASH Day

Washington, D.C., June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today is International NASH Day, a time where healthcare experts and community members around the globe step up and raise awareness of the most common liver disease in the world – nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – and it’s more severe form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Fatty liver disease is a condition in which excess fat builds up in the liver, which can lead to scarring and cirrhosis (permanent damage that impairs liver function). An estimated 25% of the global population, or about 2 billion people, are affected by NAFLD. 20% of those with NAFLD progress to NASH.
International NASH Day 2023 is endorsed by 30 medical specialty societies from around the world, and more than 50 global organizations, from research institutions to community organizations to medical centers and more, will be hosting events to inform and educate their communities.
“By releasing new, multilingual resources to help patients access NASH diagnostics and treatment, leading even more awareness and educational events worldwide, and continuing to foster opportunities for patients to step up and speak out, GLI and its partners are stepping up for those with or at risk of NASH this year,” shared Donna R. Cryer, JD, President and CEO of Global Liver Institute. “We have been heartened through collaboration with the broader patient advocacy community on health technology assessment (HTA) and regulatory processes. Together we have made certain that the patient voice is the clear, powerful force that it ought to be.”
While NASH can develop at any point in life, many of the factors that heighten an individual’s risk of developing NASH are well-known, including overweight or obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Despite established risk factors, too often patients in high-risk groups are still not triaged, not screened, and not connected to the care they require. We are grateful that, just this year, several societies have updated their treatment guidelines for identifying and caring for NAFLD/NASH to reflect our best current understanding of the disease. We are grateful to the scientists who have expanded our understanding of – and ability to control – the disease. It is time for health systems to step up and invest effort in operationalizing these new guidelines.

We urge health system leaders to step up and examine the NASH patient pathway, identify where patients are lost, and bolster those processes.
We encourage primary care and endocrinology providers to step up and learn which of their patients are at heightened risk of NAFLD/NASH – and to connect them to the screening they need.
We challenge the media to step up against the stigma and cover stories about NAFLD/NASH and liver health, especially when discussing obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other risk factors.
We implore regulators to step up for the livelihood of the millions of patients around the world whose lives are affected by NAFLD/NASH.

Clear, strong connections between primary care providers, specialists, and intervention support are all critical – and within reach – to help more patients find and stop the progression of NASH while they have the opportunity.
“It can be overwhelming how widespread the chronic, progressive disease of NAFLD and NASH has become. Those at risk should know they are supported and empowered to step up for a healthier liver,” encouraged Jeff McIntyre, VP of Liver Health Programs at Global Liver Institute. “Ask your doctor for a screening if you have a risk factor – and receive the treatment you need before the disease progresses. Individuals can make small changes with big impacts to support better liver health through better nutrition and incorporating more movement into their daily habits. Although fatty liver disease can progress, it can be controlled if caught early. Get screened now for a healthy liver.”
It’s time to #StepUpforNASH!

Join the Movement
Get tested! Check if you are at risk for NAFLD/NASH and make a note to talk to your primary care provider at your next appointment.
Support the #NASHday social media campaign using hashtags #NASHday #StepUpforNASH. Please direct any additional questions to NASHday@globalliver.org.

By bringing together more than 200 community-based, national, and international organizations across its councils, campaigns, and events, GLI equips advocates to identify and solve the problems that matter to liver patients.

Tech-facilitated gender-based violence is an international, human rights concern, finds new research

San José, Costa Rica, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A report released today by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) at the 12th RightsCon summit in Costa Rica reveals that almost 25% of people who experience online harm feel they are targeted due to their gender identity. It says the most prevalent, frequent and severe experiences of online harm occur among transgender and gender-diverse people.

The report, Supporting Safer Digital Spaces, analyzes data from the first statistically meaningful survey of women’s and LGBTQ+ individuals’ online experiences focused on the Global South. It covers 18,000 respondents of all genders in 18 countries.

Key findings include:

  • Nearly 60% of all respondents experienced some form of online harm — almost 25% of them felt they were targeted because of their gender identity.
  • Almost one in three respondents (30%) who have experienced some form of online harm and who identified as transgender or gender-diverse reported severe impacts to their mental health, including their desire to live.
  • Almost 30% of women reported negative impacts to their mental health and 23% felt that they could no longer engage freely online after experiencing online harms.

Online harms, which are forms of technology-facilitated violence (TFV), can range from impersonation to doxing, from physical threats to the non-consensual distribution of intimate images and deliberate personal attacks on communications channels. Even after serious incidents of TFV, many people do not seek help — the survey found that 40% of participants did not reach out to anyone after experiencing online harm.

“Due to increased sexism, homophobia, transphobia and violent threats online, many women and LGBTQ+ people are having to choose between facing the abuse that comes with being a woman or LGBTQ+ online or being silent. This abusive behaviour leads to real harms in both the digital and physical world and there are few supports available to people targeted by TFV,” said CIGI Senior Fellow Suzie Dunn, lead author of the report, which details 87 recommendations to address technology-facilitated violence through educational campaigns, legal and policy resources, tools for support and non-governmental resources.

“Right to life and liberty and right to freedom of opinion and expression are basic human rights,” said Anja Kovacs, an independent researcher and consultant on internet and data governance from a feminist perspective, who advised CIGI. “TFV steals these rights from women, LGBTQ+ people and equity-seeking groups. Governments, technology companies, civil society organizations, researchers, academics and think tanks must work together to eradicate TFV.”

The 18 countries surveyed by global market research firm Ipsos, with funding from Canada’s International Research Development Centre, are Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, India, Jordan, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

Les mineurs de crypto-monnaie les plus rentables sont désormais déployés dans le monde entier

NEW YORK, le 7 juin 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Les amateurs de minage de crypto-monnaies du monde entier peuvent désormais avoir accès chez eux aux mineurs les plus rentables. Bitmanu vient de lancer le déploiement dans le monde entier de ses mineurs BM 1, BM 2 et BM Pro. Malgré une durée de vie relativement courte, ces mineurs au circuit ASIC ont déjà fait parler d’eux en raison de leur excellente rentabilité.

Lancée au début de l’année 2021, la compagnie Bitmanu a immédiatement attiré l’attention des experts du secteur grâce aux taux de hachage élevés de ses plates-formes de minage. Les taux de hachage de ses mineurs BM 1, BM 2 et BM Pro sont plus élevés que ceux de tout autre matériel disponible sur le marché. Ces plates-formes de minage ont même été améliorées grâce à l’introduction récente d’un flux binaire (bitstream) privé et unique à Bitmanu, qui leur permet maintenant de miner efficacement plusieurs crypto-monnaies.

Taux de hachage des mineurs Bitmanu

  BM Pro BM 2 BM 1
Bitcoin 3 900 TH/s 1 220 TH/s 760 TH/s
Litecoin 400 GH/s 128 GH/s 80 GH/s
Dash 75 TH/s 25 TH/s 15 TH/s
Monero 32 MH/s 10 MH/s 6 MH/s

De nombreux utilisateurs des mineurs Bitmanu ont indiqué qu’ils avaient pu récupérer l’intégralité de leurs investissements en l’espace d’environ un mois. Cela est possible non seulement grâce aux taux de hachage élevés de ces plates-formes, mais aussi grâce à leur faible consommation d’énergie. Malgré leur extraordinaire puissance de calcul, BM 1, BM 2 et BM Pro ne consomment respectivement que 650 W, 850 W et 2200 W.

Profits mensuels du minage

  BM Pro BM 2 BM 1
Bitcoin 7 000 $ 2 400 $ 2 000 $
Litecoin 9 500 $ 3 200 $ 3 000 $
Dash 26 000 $ 9 000 $ 5 000 $
Monero 21 000 $ 6 400 $ 3 800 $

*Le calcul est effectué sur la base du prix actuel du marché et de la difficulté de minage.

Il est intéressant de noter qu’un pourcentage élevé des clients satisfaits par Bitmanu sont des mineurs de crypto-monnaies occasionnels qui n’ont pas, ou très peu, été exposés au minage de crypto-monnaies. Bitmanu est probablement la première entreprise à concevoir des plates-formes de minage simples dont le but est de démocratiser un domaine traditionnellement dominé par des experts en technologie.

Pour en apprendre plus sur Bitmanu, veuillez consulter la page https://bitmanu.com/

À propos de Bitmanu : Bitmanu est une société de production créée, détenue et gérée par une équipe d’investisseurs et d’experts reconnus de l’industrie des crypto-monnaies dont le but est de partager avec le public le bénéfice des dernières innovations technologiques. La société propose une gamme étonnante de mineurs de crypto-monnaies offrant un retour sur investissement très rapide, et qui peuvent être installés et utilisés par tous, indépendamment de l’expérience et des connaissances.

ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Alliance Data Systems Corporation n/k/a Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – LYLT, LYLTQ

NEW YORK, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Loyalty Ventures Inc. (NASDAQ: LYLT) (OTC: LYLTQ) between November 8, 2021 and June 7, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 26, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline. Loyalty Ventures was created as a result of a November 2021 spinoff from Alliance Data Systems Corporation n/k/a Bread Financial Holdings, Inc., the defendant company in this case. A class action lawsuit has already been filed.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Loyalty Ventures common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Loyalty Ventures class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6803 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 26, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Air Miles program suffered from a lack of investment prior to the spinoff; (2) as a result, Sobeys Inc., the second-largest supermarket chain in Canada and the second-largest sponsor in the Air Miles program, had informed defendants it was considering exercising its early termination rights; (3) the threat of Sobeys’ departure loomed throughout 2021 including in the timeframe leading up to the spinoff; (4) defendants expected the departure of any single large sponsor, such as Sobeys, would have “network effect” on the value of the entire Air Miles program; (5) the high leverage and debt service obligations foisted upon Loyalty Ventures, in conjunction with the “network effect” impact on the value of the Air Miles business, threatened the Company’s ability to continue operations; and (6) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s financial guidance, business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Loyalty Ventures class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6803 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Global Fishing Watch to reveal all human activity at sea with investment through The Audacious Project

USD $60 million funding will catalyze a new initiative to apply AI and satellite data to help end illegal fishing and safeguard the ocean

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Fishing Watch has received a five-year USD $60 million commitment through The Audacious Project to leverage open data and emerging technology to revolutionize global ocean management. Over the next five years, the ocean conservation nonprofit will publicly map more than one million ocean-going vessels and all fixed infrastructure at sea.

Housed within TED, a nonprofit dedicated to “ideas worth spreading,” The Audacious Project selects a cohort of projects every year that represent bold solutions to critical challenges facing the world. By connecting these ambitious initiatives with an inspiring group of donors and supporters, The Audacious Project helps accelerate big ideas and amplify the overall impact of the work.

Global Fishing Watch’s chief executive officer, Tony Long, delivered a TED Talk released on World Ocean Day (June 8) describing the organization’s pioneering project to map and monitor all industrial activity at sea and make this knowledge freely available to the world.

“Shockingly, little is known about human activity taking place across more than two-thirds of our planet’s surface. This must change if we’re to restore our ocean’s health,” said Tony Long, chief executive officer at Global Fishing Watch. “We’re honored to receive this catalytic funding through The Audacious Project, which clearly signals support for our innovative technology to tackle the urgent crisis in our ocean. With this investment, we can transform how we manage the ocean by making the invisible visible.”

Founded in 2015 as a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth and Google, Global Fishing Watch has demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence and satellite data to shine a light on global fishing activity. The nonprofit built the first-ever map to visualize and publicly track industrial fishing vessels—some 70,000 boats—in near real-time.

Under this open ocean project, Global Fishing Watch will combine GPS data with millions of gigabytes of satellite imagery and use machine learning to publicly display the activity of all industrial fishing vessels and hundreds of thousands of small-scale fishing boats and cargo ships. It will also map all stationary infrastructure at sea like aquaculture pens, wind farms and oil rigs, opening an online window onto our impact across our blue planet for the first time.

“Today, anyone can freely access satellite imagery to explore every road and building on land with just a few clicks of a mouse. We want to do the same for the ocean: create a complete, dynamic map of all industrial activity at sea that’s free for anyone to view and use,” said David Kroodsma, director of research and innovation with Global Fishing Watch. “Our initiative is audacious. It is new, big and bold. We’re driven by the potential for impact—and that potential is hugely exciting.”

Ocean stewardship efforts have been hampered by the absence of accurate and actionable information. Many governments lack the resources needed to process and analyze data on where and when their boats are fishing and what they are catching, or monitor other human activity at sea. The open ocean project will unleash a new wave of open data and transparency in ocean governance.

“To protect the ocean, we need to see and understand everything that happens at sea. And we need to empower institutions and people to act on that knowledge,” added Paolo Domondon, chief program officer with Global Fishing Watch. “We’ll enable governments to improve the management of their waters to better protect the marine environment and the people who rely on it – both by using our technology platform and by co-creating tools that meet their own specific needs.”

The project will receive $60 million in funding from multiple donors, including the Acton Family Giving, Ballmer Group, Becht Foundation, Oak Foundation, Laura and Gary Lauder and Family, Lyda Hill Philanthropies, MacKenzie Scott, Sea Grape Foundation and Valhalla Foundation, among others.

“The audacious work being done by Global Fishing Watch will transform how we see the ocean and our place in it. We are running out of time to protect this important life support system and the marine biodiversity that we all depend on,” said Anna Verghese, executive director at The Audacious Project. “We are excited about the change Global Fishing Watch will catalyze over the coming years with this surge in support.”

Ultimately, Global Fishing Watch aims to raise an additional USD $60 million to match funds secured through The Audacious Project, which will support the organization’s international program working with governments and civil society to harness open data and usher in a new era of transparency toward ocean governance. The investment from new donors along with established funding partners such as Bloomberg Philanthropies and Oceankind are generating momentum toward the organization’s goal.

“Understanding human activity and its impacts on the ocean is critical not only for the health of marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them but preserving our planet against the threats of climate change,” said Antha Williams, who leads the environment program at Bloomberg Philanthropies. “Global Fishing Watch’s long standing partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies, Oceana, the Outlaw Ocean Project, and others has helped transform how our ocean is managed. This new investment in cutting-edge technology will help uncover even more vital data to protect valuable resources, promote sustainable practices, and mitigate the effects of climate change.”

Notes to the editor:

Global Fishing Watch is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency of human activity at sea. By creating and publicly sharing map visualizations, data and analysis tools, we aim to enable scientific research and transform the way our ocean is managed. We believe human activity at sea should be public knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean for the common good of all. globalfishingwatch.org

The Audacious Project: Launched in April 2018, The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative that’s catalyzing social impact on a grand scale. Housed at TED, the nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading, and with support from leading social impact advisor The Bridgespan Group, The Audacious Project convenes funders and social entrepreneurs with the goal of supporting bold solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges. The funding collective is made up of respected organizations and individuals in philanthropy, including Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, ELMA Philanthropies, Emerson Collective, MacKenzie Scott, Skoll Foundation, Valhalla Foundation, and more. Each year The Audacious Project supports a new cohort. The 2023 grantees are CAMFED, Canopy, Clean Slate Initiative, Global Fishing Watch, Innovative Genomics Institute, Jan Sahas’ Migrants Resilience Collaborative, ReNew2030, Restore Local, Think of Us, and Upstream USA.

ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Edgio, Inc. f/k/a Limelight Networks, Inc. Investors With Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – EGIO, LLNW

NEW YORK, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Edgio, Inc. f/k/a Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGIO, LLNW) between February 11, 2021 and March 12, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 26, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Edgio securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Edgio class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=13174 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 26, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the sale of Open Edge equipment should be accounted as financing leases; (2) there were material weaknesses in Edgio’s internal controls over financial reporting related to Open Edge transactions; (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s revenue had been overstated in certain periods; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Edgio’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
