LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz reminds investors of the upcoming September 4, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation («Pilgrim’s Pride» or the «Company») (NASDAQ: PPC) securities between February 9, 2017 and June 3, 2020, inclusive (the «Class Period»).

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

On June 3, 2020, The Wall Street Journal reported that Pilgrim’s Pride’s Chief Executive Officer and others had been indicted «for allegedly conspiring to fix prices on chickens sold to restaurants and grocery stores.»

CORONA, Calif., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TCL^®, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, today announced it has partnered with THX Ltd., the world-class audio and video certification and technology company, to further immerse consumers into the world of gaming with its newest 6-Series TCL Roku TV™. Together, TCL and THX have established a new industry standard in gaming performance for big-screen TVs – THX^Ⓡ Certified Game Mode. Showcased at the 2020 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), TCL’s 6-Series with THX Certified Game Mode delivers lightning fast response time and the most optimal viewing experience, allowing games to be enjoyed the way they were intended by the creators with rich, vibrant colors and dramatic contrast in crisp 4K HDR resolution.

Video games can provide an immersive experience, and when paired with TCL’s 6-Series featuring THX Certified Game Mode, consumers will be transported into the world of the game with superior visuals that set a new standard in big-screen gaming performance. For more than 35 years, THX has set the bar for the audio and visual fidelity of entertainment and THX^Ⓡ Certification is a globally recognized assurance of uncompromising quality, consistency, and performance. Blending art, technology, and the dynamics of real world listening and viewing environments to ensure products reflect the artist’s true vision, THX Certified products such as the 6-Series TCL TV provide the consumer a high quality out-of-box experience.

«TCL is proud to be the first to launch televisions with a dedicated THX Certified Game Mode setting, as we’re always working toward elevating the home entertainment experience through new technology and innovations. By teaming up with pioneers like THX, who have a history in producing premium cinema-quality audio and visuals, we can ensure that our customers enjoy more by not only getting the best possible performance when watching the latest blockbusters but also now with the THX Certified Game Mode when playing their favorite video games,» said Chris Larson, Senior Vice President, TCL. «Revolutionizing big-screen gaming with THX as a partner allows TCL to continue raising the bar with new products that take your game to the next level, and we’re excited to bring this powerful TV series to market this summer.»

Using industry standards and a proprietary testing methodology, THX Certification is a process where the device undergoes more than 400 tests to ensure color, tone and images represent the content creator’s intentions with stunning picture quality. THX engineers worked closely with TCL to tune white balance, luminance, black levels, and gamma. With special attention to the included THX Game Mode, new tests were implemented that quantify fast transitions and responsiveness not required for movies.

TCL’s newest 6-Series with THX Certified Game Mode will enable gamers to enjoy more of the entertainment they love. With the new certification, users can enjoy all the benefits of an immersive and responsive gaming experience, including:

Color – Some games are intentionally brighter and more saturated than movies. THX Certified Game Mode ensures picture settings are carefully adjusted to deliver vibrant colors.

Speed – TVs with THX Certified Game Mode are required to have a refresh rate of 120 Hz or higher. More frames per second means motion will look smoother without blur.

Input Lag – TCL’s TVs have low latency to ensure the image and controllers are in sync, so players can see and react to action instantly with minimal lag. THX Certified Game Mode enables this immediacy and switches off any unnecessary video processing.

Rise Time – THX Certified Game Mode ensures low dark-to-light rise time transitions, which determines how fast the display can change from dim to bright improving fast-paced gameplay.

Clarity – Judder and smear reduction keep the picture crisp, while black frame insertion or backlight scanning can improve the look of moving objects.

Smart – TCL TVs with THX Certified Game Mode will automatically switch to THX Game Mode with compatible consoles and PCs.

«Since its founding, THX has become the quality assurance standard in delivering premium audio and visuals, and bringing this precision to TVs is a great example of how we can make content creator’s visions come to life,» said Peter Vasay, General Manager, Home Products, THX Ltd. «We are thrilled to launch the first THX Certified Game Mode TV with TCL after working closely with them to ensure the 6-Series meets our testing standards.»

TCL has long held a reputation for strong gaming performance. The current generation 6-Series has been praised for its impressive gaming performance by top gamers as well as technology media nationwide. With the addition of THX Certified Game Mode and a host of new technologies, the next-generation 6-Series will be available this summer.

DALLAS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Students around the country are getting ready to go back to school. No matter what that looks like – online, in person, or a combination – good vision is essential for kids to be able to learn. Essilor Vision Foundation (EVF) is reminding parents to get their children’s eyes examined to ensure they have the clear vision they need.

Vision matters

Many parents worry about the amount of time their kids spend looking at screens. This is even more top of mind now due to COVID-19. A recent survey found that among parents who participated, nearly half said their children spend more than six hours a day in front of a screen. That is a 500% increase compared to before the coronavirus pandemic.

Clear vision is important for kids all the time, and especially when it comes to succeeding in school. Consider these facts:

• One in four, or 25% of schoolchildren in the U.S., has a vision problem significant to impact their ability to learn.
• 80% percent of learning in a child’s first 12 years is visual.
• Children who are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school.

Although vision issues are prevalent among children, many parents do not know the signs and symptoms of vision impairment such as:

• Sitting too close to the TV
• Holding a book or digital device too close
• Complaining of headaches or tired eyes
• Squinting or tilting the head to see better
• Rubbing eyes frequently

Test kids’ eyesight at home

Parents who suspect their child has a vision problem can use these online basic vision tests at home. If the tests show potential vision issues, parents are urged to take their child for a comprehensive eye exam with an eye doctor.

Everyone needs to give their eyes a break from time to time, and there are things we all can do to be kind to our eyes. For kids, experts say spending time outdoors can help reduce the risk of some vision impairments. Anyone who looks at a screen should practice the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes of reading, computer time, or close work, take a 20-second rest break by looking at things at least 20 feet away.

This back-to-school season, EVF asks parents to make vision care a regular part of their children’s overall health and to donate to help kids who cannot afford it, because every child deserves to see clearly.

About Essilor Vision Foundation

We strive to give children a brighter future by helping them see the world more clearly. Since 2007, Essilor Vision Foundation has provided more than 1.5 million pairs of eyeglasses to individuals in need. Essilor Vision Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public, non-profit organization committed to eliminating poor vision and its lifelong consequences. To learn more visit www.evfusa.org.

ATLANTA, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Michael Loyd, CEO of Dope Coffee, created the company to change the narrative around the common pastime of drinking coffee. Coffee culture has often lacked diversity and inclusivity. Drinking coffee has become complicated as companies and shops focus on creating elaborate, over-the-top drinks and environments. On the other hand, Dope Coffee, an e-commerce company, distributes its products online, allowing people to purchase and create their own environment in which they would like to enjoy it in. The coffees are flavorful, yet simple. Buyers are not overwhelmed by unnecessary terminology, descriptions and instructions. Dope Coffee’s products are there to enjoy while shifting the conversations had when having a cup of coffee.

Michael, also known as Creative Mike the Rapper, along with his cousin and COO Stace Loyd, plan to make these cultural changes by combining coffee with culture and hip-hop. Both men have not only paved a way for themselves in the coffee industry, but are successful in the music industry as well. Their work and experience in both fields allows them to bridge the gap between the two. In doing so, a door for audience expansion is being unlocked. Customers who have previously felt overlooked or unwelcomed in the coffee world now have a space of their own.

Creative Mike is used to having these difficult conversations. In his most recent EP, Black Jesus, he speaks on the systematic and institutionalized issues that plague society. Creative Mike is brutally honest, holding no punches. He speaks to the system, as well as to his community, with fierce passion. Through his lyrics, he provides motivation and blueprints to success for the Black community.

Stace Loyd has also paved his own lane by producing unique yet universal hip-hop music, which can be heard on his latest album, Columns. He takes a classic approach to hip-hop that feels nostalgic yet progressive. He uses his platform to speak about his past, present, and future. You can hear Stace’s drive for success through his lyrics. He is a businessman, no doubt.

The duo is collaborating yet again, but this time it is on their upcoming album, Spinach. They have seen great success as business partners in the coffee industry and this album will be no different. The project will be published through Dope Coffee where it will be released with a merch pack including a specialized coffee, Ethiopian Dripp.
