SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Papros Inc, a leader in supply chain management asserted that the program MRPRO™ for conflict minerals distributed through the RMI (Responsible Minerals Initiative) has the most prospects for revenue provisions for upstream actors in the supply chain.
 
In several recent international conferences, what has been brought to limelight is the fact that the supply chain data gathering process needs to provide greater rewards and incentives for upstream actors in the supply chain that come between the mines and the smelters. In most cases, these are people who are adversely constrained in terms of resources and are working hard to bring integrity to the supply chain. Currently, most corporate data collection systems generate big revenues for solution providers but the upstream actors who do the heavy work see very little monetary benefits. However, MRPRO™ for conflict minerals offers excellent opportunities to mitigate this situation for the upstream actors. It is distributed through the RMI and has been from day one, distributed free for the end user. Combined with free data gathering that are freely available based on many cloud data systems, the platform provides an effective way for large corporates to do their annual reports for essentially little or no cost and thus use the revenues to support charities and other good works for the upstream actors.
 
Papros brings a robust process in the generation of conflict mineral reports. It is flexible enough to allow for CMRTs (Conflict Mineral Reporting Template) as well as the CRT (Cobalt reporting Template). In the near future the MRT (Mica Reporting Template) is also planned to be supported. It has been supporting the CMRT rollup process for more than ten years. In addition, Papros also supports activities at the IPC for standardizing the data format for the IPC 1755 that describes the conversion needed for the CMRT/CRT to standards-based XML data.
 
It is no wonder that Papros platform is known universally as being the «Best Conflict Minerals platform» that enables companies to continue to relentlessly ensure their supplies of certain minerals are not tainted in their origins. Currently, that latest version has been optimized even further for ease of implementation and operation by offering many alternatives for users.
 
About Papros Inc: Papros Inc. has been committed to providing Total Environmental Management solutions to US and International companies. «Optimizing the Greenback and the Green Environment» has been the slogan of Papros Inc. since its inception more than thirty-five years ago.

ATLANTA, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — UC Asset LP (OTCQX: UCASU) releases today a «white paper» prepared by the company’s management team, reviewing the firm’s investment strategy in 2020 and outlining the 2021 strategy.

«This is the first time we are openly discussing our 2020 strategy,» says Greg Bankston, managing partner, UC Asset. «This document discloses how we systematically analyzed the market, why we have decided to scale back on new builds and slowly reduced our inventory. It illustrates how we have managed to increase our cash reserve, and what great opportunities we are preparing for in the coming months.» 

2020 was a unique year for real estate investors. The world was hit by the COVID pandemic and the economy of the States crippled. Commercial properties performed relatively poorly, and some categories of commercial properties took a big hit, due to the decrease of business and social activities. Meanwhile, residential properties experienced unusual value soaring.

UC Asset management believes the hike in residential property prices was an unexpected and unsustainable result of the pandemic. As early as July 2020, UC Asset management concluded that residents, after a long period of shielding-at-home, developed stronger desires to improve their living space, by either remodeling their existing homes or buying new. This desire of individual consumers led to a dramatic increase in demand for housing purchases, despite a shrunken economy and decreased employment.

A few months later, UC Asset’s observation and projection was echoed by industrial leaders such as Redfin, Realtor.com, and Zillow.com. «We are pleased our analysis, made several months earlier in the year were parallel with these industry leaders,» boasts Bankston.

Additionally, UC Asset concluded the fast rising of building costs compromised investors’ profit in building or renovating homes, despite the rising residential prices. This, ironically, would lead to less supply and tight inventory, and therefore push house price even higher. Based on this observation, in the summer of 2020, UC Asset adopted a forward-looking strategy. «We halted new builds, focused on completing existing projects, and held back sales of our inventory as we projected they could be sold later for better prices,» shares Bankston.

This forward-looking strategy helped UC Asset to stay profitable later in 2020, and to build up its cash reserve.

With significant amount of cash in hands, UC Asset is aiming its radar at the dynamics of commercial property market. «COVID-19 pandemic shook up the commercial market. It expediated some long-term changes which people would be less willing to make in a more stable environment. These changes will be disruptive, and even revolutionary. Some properties which suffered a loss during the pandemic will be worth two times, three times or even more in a post-pandemic world. And our job is to identify these properties,» says Larry Wu, founder of UC Asset.

Wu says the firm is excited about their new business strategy which is a direct response to market trends that may be more compelling in post-pandemic world. «For one thing, we are avidly pursuing our SHOC strategy. We believe that SHOC is a revolutionary model that will renovate communities and disrupt the conventional hotel business. We have seen great results with a few pilot projects prior to SHOC.  One such project achieved over a 50% annualized return on a single sale. With the innovative SHOC model, we will be able to deliver better returns for our investors.»

MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, FARE, the world’s leading non-governmental organization engaged in food allergy advocacy and the largest private funder of food allergy research, announced the bipartisan introduction of the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (FASTER) Act of 2021 (H.R. 1202) by the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, which is FARE’s highest legislative priority, was introduced by Rep. Doris Matsui (D-California) and Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-North Carolina).

«Nearly 1.6 million Americans are allergic to sesame, and they and their loved ones live with constant anxiety that sesame may be in the food products they purchase,» said Lisa Gable, chief executive officer of FARE. «With today’s reintroduction, ushered forward by the strong leadership of Rep. Matsui and Rep. McHenry, a critical new labeling law to help those with life-threatening food allergies is one step closer to reality.» Added Gable, «Our goal was to reintroduce this legislation within the first 100 days of Congress, and to achieve this milestone within the first 50 days of the new legislative session is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of the thousands of food allergy advocates from across the country.»

The FASTER Act (H.R. 1202) would require that sesame be labeled as an allergen on packaged foods. Sesame would become the ninth food allergen for which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires plain-language labeling. Sesame is often used when a label reads «natural flavors» or «natural spices,» adding another layer of difficulty when consumers review product labels at their local grocery store.

The bill would also require the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue a report on scientific opportunities in food allergy research that examines prevention, treatment, and new cures. In addition, the legislation establishes a risk-based scientific process and framework for establishing additional allergens covered by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

«For food allergy families across the nation, ordinary activities – like going to school, a birthday party, or camp – require a great deal of preparation and vigilance,» said Congresswoman Matsui. «Accurate food ingredient labels are crucial for these families to make decisions with potentially life-threatening consequences. However, current FDA labeling requirements do not include sesame, leaving more than 1.5 million Americans with a sesame allergy to fend for themselves. Thanks to an amazing outpouring of grassroots advocacy last Congress we had over 90 bipartisan cosponsors on the FASTER Act, and we are confident that support for labeling sesame will only grow in this new Congress. Food allergy families are truly resilient, and together we are working hard to make sure that this bill gets across the finish line.»

Congressman McHenry said, «Over 1.5 million people are allergic to sesame, yet there is no requirement to include the ingredient on product labels. The FASTER Act changes this, providing a much-needed update to allergen labeling laws to include sesame. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to regularly review promising food allergy treatments and research, enabling us to better treat the millions of Americans that suffer from these life-threatening allergies. I am proud to support this legislation and am grateful for the work FARE has done raising awareness for sesame allergies.»

The FASTER Act was first introduced in April 2019 (H.R. 2117). After unanimously passing in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 17, 2020, a similar bill, (S. 3451) unanimously passed in the U.S. Senate on December 9. However, the legislative session expired before the House could consider the Senate’s revised version of the bill. 

FARE will now begin meeting virtually with legislators to gain support for the bipartisan FASTER Act and will mobilize advocates to ask their representatives to sign on as cosponsors. The legislation will be front and center when FARE hosts its second annual advocacy event, Courage at Congress 2021: Advocate for a Cure, taking place virtually on March 8-10.
