OCEAN CITY, N.J., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Destination Destiny and Memorial Reefs come together to create an experience you will always remember. On September 25, 2020 Memorial Reefs International and Destination Destiny will dedicate their very first Memorial Reefs in the United States in Ocean City, New Jersey. This location comes after a significant demand from residents of the east coast of the United States. The partnership with Steelmantown Cemetery through Destination Destiny brings Memorial Reefs International to New Jersey, where many families seek greener funeral options.

This event is open to anyone who has the cremated remains of a loved one that they wish to inter at our New Jersey location. The New Jersey event also marks the inaugural date upon which individuals can purchase a Now and Later Memorial Reef. This option allows any living person to dedicate a Memorial Reef now in order to begin their contribution to restoring marine life. When their time comes, a second Memorial Reef will be created in the second Undersea Memorial Garden location of your choice.

Many events in our lives are shifting to make safety your priority. But what happens to funerals, a celebration that can bring the most peace out of sorrow? A memorial service can still be a beautiful experience for loved ones from the comfort and safety of their home. Memorial Reefs International and Destination Destiny value the health and safety of their clients, which has resulted in the completely remote dedication of the first Destination Destiny & Memorial Reefs International Undersea Memorial Garden. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, this event will be completely virtual. Families and friends can still witness the dedication.  Social distancing measures prevent meeting in person, but not the creation of a living memorial in a spectacular location.

The ceremony will still value the ways in which we respect and honor those who are being memorialized, just in a manner that puts the safety of their friends and families first. The ceremony will be recorded for viewing at the Undersea Memorial Gardens located ten miles off shore of Ocean City, New Jersey. Registration ends August 25, 2020 for this dedication event, so contact Memorial Reefs International and Destination Destiny immediately for more information and booking details.

The mission at Memorial Reefs International is rehabilitation and protection of the world‘s ocean ecosystems through the development and use of ecologically sound artificial reef technology. The concrete used for a Memorial Reef has a pH balance that matches the ocean and the structure contains no rebar. This means a Memorial Reef will last hundreds of years, serving as a home for an abundance of marine life. Memorial Reefs give your family the opportunity to gather around and connect in a marine paradise through a living memorial.  Register today to dedicate a Memorial Reef on September 25, 2020.

Financial compensation for a person like this might exceed $100,000. If we are talking about a Navy Veteran who spent his career in the navy the compensation might be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

«Most Navy Veterans or people with lung cancer, who also had significant exposure to asbestos prior to 1982 are not aware the $30 billion dollar-asbestos trust funds were set up for them too. The typical person we are trying to identify is over 60 years old and it does not matter if they smoked cigarettes or not. If this sounds like your husband or your dad, please call the lawyers at Karst von Oiste at 800-714-0303 to discuss what might turn out to be significant financial compensation.

Partnership with veteran owned and operated Connective Human brings awareness to organization’s mission of helping build communities

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) & (OTCQX: TCNNF) («Trulieve» or «the Company»), a United States-based leading medical cannabis company, announced today a new partner for their TruVet Program, a monthly program that highlights the many resources available to veterans through local and statewide organizations. Trulieve is working with Connective Human, a veteran owned and operated organization based in Central Florida, throughout the month of August.

The TruVet Program was launched this year with a goal of educating veterans on the accessibility, benefits, and uses of medicinal cannabis. Sponsored outreach programs include veteran non-profits across the nation which offer financial support, educational seminars, product explanation, and connection with local doctors in the area.

For August, Trulieve has partnered with Connective Human, whose core purpose is to connect corporations to nonprofits who encourage change in their communities. The organization hosts custom team building and wellness programs, allowing corporations to collaborate on community initiatives that solve real needs while instilling a connective and inclusive culture.

«A big part of our story is to create and encourage change in our communities, to connect with others and give businesses and nonprofits in our areas the opportunity to grow together. When veterans come back, they often struggle with reintegration; as a veteran myself, I understand how important it is to work with organizations that not only care about the community, but care about and understand the specific needs of veterans,» said Connective Human President and Founder, Beau Blouin. «Trulieve matches our mission of connecting with communities and working to encourage diversity and inclusion by offering information and resources. We’re honored to partner with them this month and look forward to further connecting with Florida’s veteran community.»

Currently, veterans are eligible for an in-store discount on Trulieve products. Trulieve also has long-standing partnerships with local veteran organizations throughout the state and encourages patients to inquire about resources at their local dispensary or on our TruVets webpage.

Trulieve also operates a TruVet Facebook Group, which functions as a resource and support group. Created for veterans, as well as their dependents or caregivers, the group helps those seeking further education in the cannabis community and support from fellow veterans.

«More than ever, we’re focused on connecting with the communities we call home and sharing the resources available to people across the state. Trulieve’s core values include embracing diversity, supporting social equity, and encouraging inclusivity, and aligning with partners like Connective Human supports these values we aim to embody daily,» said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. «Compassionate care is at our core, and we’re honored to work with Connective Human to continue making that possible across the state.»

As the state’s leading medical cannabis provider, Trulieve’s employees are experienced, knowledgeable, and eager to help patients. Trulieve encourages potential patients, as well as patients who are new to cannabis and our wide array of products, to connect with the staff in-store or through the online chat feature to learn more.

In stores and online, patients will find Florida’s largest selection of THC and CBD products, available in a variety of delivery methods, including smokable cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, topical creams, vaporizers, and more. Trulieve also offers home delivery statewide for patients, and convenient in-store pick-up at its 51 dispensaries in locations across the state from Pensacola to Key West.

The Office of Medical Marijuana Use recently announced the registry had surpassed 385,000 registered medical marijuana patients with an active ID card, with Trulieve consistently selling approximately half of the state’s overall volume, per the Florida Department of Health. There are more than 2,500 registered ordering physicians in the State of Florida as well.

Support for the U.S. Federal Government Response to COVID-19

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Censeo Consulting Group, a Washington D.C.-based public sector management consulting firm, has announced the launch of a COVID-19 resource library to provide meaningful resources to prepare public sector leaders to rapidly adjust and sustain mission delivery in the face of uncertainty.

«This has been a time of unprecedented stress for our society – words like ‘Phase I’ or ‘Phase II» barely scratch the surface in terms of capturing the challenges people and their governments have faced, successfully overcome and continue to struggle with. And data from around the world suggests that even with a vaccine, this ‘new normal’ is something we will all have to live with for a while,» said Dr. Vinai Trichur, Managing Partner at Censeo and leader of the COVID-19 response team. «Through this set of resources, we wanted to provide a practical toolkit for public sector leaders as they prepare to navigate the uncertainty of the coming months.»

Leveraging the firm’s deep experience supporting public sector agencies in augmenting their organizational strategy, operational excellence, workforce effectiveness, and acquisition capabilities, Censeo’s study of public sector pandemic response across multiple countries facilitates best practice transfer among agencies at the federal, state, local, and international levels to inform strategic planning for current and potential crises. The study addresses three topics top-of-mind for leaders: 1) Creatively developing capacity in order to deliver evolving mission responsibilities, while adapting to changing workloads; 2) Managing change, including modifications to workforce, processes, and technology and to meet changing talent needs as workloads have evolved; and 3) Implementing effective telework procedures, recognizing that telework at scale is an untested challenge for many and may require developing workforce-wide trainings, near-term workarounds, long-term strategic planning, and acceleration of IT-modernization efforts.

In addition, Censeo’s pandemic preparedness toolkit includes a comprehensive organizational diagnostic to help agencies assess their resiliency to future resurgences in COVID-19 and other crises, an employee survey template to help assess remote work conditions and comfort levels with policies and procedures for returning to assigned work locations, and a series of analytical reports leveraging insights from federal spend data to inform funding decisions by agency leaders and policy makers on COVID-19 relief and response efforts.

The full COVID-19 resource library can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/3eB0rej

Helix Receives FDA Emergency Use Authorization for the HelixⓇ COVID-19 NGS Test, One of the First Sequencing-Based COVID-19 Tests

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Helix, the leading population genomics company, announced that it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the HelixⓇ COVID-19 NGS Test.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Helix, the leading population genomics company, announced that it has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the HelixⓇ COVID-19 NGS Test. The test is an amplicon-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) test intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs, oropharyngeal (throat) swab, mid-turbinate nasal swabs, and anterior nasal swabs) from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider.

This test is highly multiplexed to enable a large number of samples to be sequenced on each instrument and is a critical part of Helix’s plan to scale its COVID-19 capacity to 100,000 tests per day and potentially further. It was developed based on Octant’s «SwabSeq» protocol, which continues to be iterated through a broad community effort involving academic and industry collaborators. As one of the first next-generation sequencing tests authorized by the FDA, the HelixⓇ COVID-19 NGS Test will enable Helix to diversify and add redundancy to its existing supply chain for its PCR-based test, the HelixⓇ COVID-19 Test, also authorized for emergency use by the FDA.

The test will be part of Helix’s end-to-end test system, which includes a non-invasive collection kit, processing of samples in Helix’s CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited high-complexity laboratory in San Diego, next-day turnaround time, and return of results to the ordering healthcare professional, the tested individual, and public health agencies, as necessary.

Helix also announced on July 31, 2020, that it was selected by the NIH’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) program to become one of the country’s COVID-19 «mega-labs».

«The authorization of our next-generation sequencing-based test is an important step forward in dramatically scaling our COVID-19 testing capacity while maintaining high sensitivity,» said Marc Stapley, Helix President and CEO. «Combined with the recent funding we announced from the NIH RADx program, we will quickly become one of the highest throughput COVID-19 testing labs in the country and help millions of Americans access much-needed tests with next-day turnaround time.»

«The ability to utilize next-generation sequencing technology to conduct 100,000 tests per day in the same laboratory is a logistical and scientific breakthrough,» said Rick Bright, Ph.D., Senior Advisor to the NIH Director. «This sets the country on an important path in the testing of COVID-19. The NIH’s RADx program is firmly committed to putting its resources and expertise to support the countries’ top innovators to ensure more rapid testing is available to address the COVID-19 pandemic.»

CBD Nation, Available August 25 On Amazon And Video On Demand, Examines The Highest Levels Of Scientific Research And Medical Evidence Surrounding The World’s Most Politicized Plant: Cannabis

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mad Machine Films today announced the North American release of the documentary feature film, CBD Nation (1:22 min), distributed by Gravitas Ventures and available to mass audiences on August 25, 2020 via Amazon, iTunes and video on demand channels.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Mad Machine Films today announced the North American release of the documentary feature film, CBD Nation (1:22 min), distributed by Gravitas Ventures and available to mass audiences on August 25, 2020 via Amazon, iTunes and video on demand channels.

Explains the film’s director and producer David Jakubovic, «Over the course of this project, I came to realize that cannabis is far from a gateway drug; for many, it’s actually an exit drug from Pharmaceuticals and Narcotics. And in the U.S. – which has 5% of the world’s population consuming 75% of the world’s pharmaceuticals – we can no longer afford to be in the dark about the facts. Facts can save lives.»

Featuring the world’s leading experts in cannabis science and medicine – including acclaimed Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam, Ph.D., the ‘father of cannabis research’ whose 1960s discovery of THC jump started the medical and scientific revolution around cannabis – CBD Nation offers a compelling look at 60 years’ worth of published and ongoing research. 

«We published our findings thirty-seven years ago: cannabidiol (CBD) blocks epileptic attacks in patients. What happened? Nothing for thirty years,» states Raphael Mechoulam, President of The Multidisciplinary Center for Cannabinoid Research at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. «Nothing happened until desperate parents like those in this film did their own research and found out that cannabidiol can help children with epilepsy. But epilepsy is just one of many conditions that we know cannabis medicine can treat. If the world chooses to not look at all of the science, it is not ignorance – it’s negligence.» 

Adds longtime cannabis activist, entrepreneur, and restorative justice champion, Steve DeAngelo, who also appears in the film: «CBD Nation brings you the real science that decades of U.S. government sponsored misinformation have hidden from public view. Watch it, and learn why cannabis may just be the most valuable medicine ever discovered by human beings.»

Shot in 2018 over the course of six months in the United States, Canada, and Israel, CBD Nation marries a wealth of scientific breakthroughs with first-person narratives, following the emotional stories of patients for whom CBD is a lifesaving medicine.

  • At age seven, Rylie Maedler was diagnosed with a rare degenerative bone disease called Aggressive Giant Cell Granuloma whereby tumors ate away at the bones of her face. Today, 14-year-old Rylie remains the only known person with this disease worldwide whose bones have regenerated. 
  • Military veteran Colin Wells served in the US Army Infantry from 2008-2012. He was deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from July 2009-July 2010 as well as Operation Moshtarak. Like many veterans, when Colin returned home he faced many physical and mental problems which led him to drug addiction and homelessness. CBD rich cannabis has helped his chronic pain and PTSD so much that he is a leader in the Veteran Cannabis Community and advocate for veterans’ rights to cannabis. 
  • Six-year-old Jayden David couldn’t walk, eat solid food, or even take a bath prior to being medicated with CBD. He has Dravet Syndrome, a rare and catastrophic form of childhood epilepsy. To combat his illness, Jayden became a patient of Harborside Health Center in Oakland, California, founded by brothers Steve DeAngelo and Andrew DeAngelo in 2006 and today the largest medical marijuana dispensary in the country with over 200,000 patients. Jayden had been prescribed 22 anti-seizure pills a day, which left him immobilized. The first day in Jayden’s life that he was seizure-free was the first day he took CBD. 

«CBD Nation tells the authentic origin story of CBD… how it took sick kids like Jayden David, Rylie Maedler, and the late Charlotte Figi becoming messengers for this plant in order for mainstream society to acknowledge its potential as medicine,» shares Harborside co-founder, cannabis industry consultant and strategic advisor, Andrew DeAngelo. «It is a story about human biology, human rights, and the ultimate victory of truth and science, which could not be more relevant today.»

With interviews from more than 30 physicians, clinicians, researchers, and patients, CBD Nation is the first wide release film to dive deep into how the human body has evolved to work with cannabis, providing not only a second chance at life for patients but also a fighting chance for the world’s most politicized plant to be accepted for what it is: medicine. 

«I hope that U.S. doctors, educators and politicians see this film,» says Rylie Maedler, who worked closely with legislators in her home state of Delaware to pass Rylie’s Law, granting children with qualifying conditions access to medical cannabis. «Because I’m living proof of the fact that cannabis and CBD have a place in modern medicine.»
