Our game-changing technology in PlayerX will be the backbone of our first family-friendly esports event with DEEM,” said Mike Vela, founder and CEO of WCF. DEEM and WCF will stream the event live. Global participants can expect watch parties, integration between physical and virtual programming, celebrities, and much more. This event will be a first-of-its-kind in a series of esports events, further solidifying the partnership between DEEM and WCF and their investment in Atlantic City. The companies will release more details in the coming months. “Perhaps what’s most exciting is sharing my passion for esports with so many people and families of all ages. PlayerX has the ability to unite people – from the amateur to the professional to the NFL athlete, all of whom share that same passion for playing esports. PlayerX balances everyone’s abilities by providing the right tools for a player to win or watch. Hosting our first event with DEEM in Atlantic City will showcase this physically and virtually. It will be electric,” Vela said.

Naked Wines faces "crucial year" of adjustment to post-pandemic life

Naked Wines PLC

Naked Wines PLC (AIM:WINE, OTCQX:NWINF) chief financial officer James Crawford speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive following the release of the company's full year results for the 53 weeks to 3 April 2023. Crawford gives his take on the highlights from the results, which included a 1% increase in total sales to £354mln, adjusted profit of £17.4 million which exceeded initial guidance owing in part to cuts to marketing expenses. He says inventory levels aligned with expectations at £166 million, with a net cash position exceeding £10 million. Although results were delayed due to rigorous auditing and revised growth assumptions, Crawford emphasised the company's strong liquidity position, backed by £50 million in assets. He acknowledges uncertainties in a volatile market but expresses confidence in Naked Wines' ability to drive profitability and growth, signaling a positive outlook for the coming fiscal year.

September is Cholesterol Education Month

YourUpdateTV

September is Cholesterol Education Month and for people with unsafe levels of high LDL (bad) cholesterol, there are many options in the treatment toolbox. Recently, Preventive Cardiologist Dr. Seth Baum participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss high LDL cholesterol, best treatment options, and tips for patients navigating challenges with their health coverage. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/rcUk4OWkpD4 Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States and LDL-cholesterol, what we call the “bad” cholesterol, is a major risk factor which can lead to a heart attack or a stroke. While many can lower their LDL cholesterol with a heart healthy diet, some will need medication to reach their Safe Zone. Statins are often the first-line of treatment for individuals with high LDL cholesterol, not all patients reach their recommended LDL cholesterol levels with statins alone. In these cases, lipid-lowering medications, known as PCSK9 inhibitors, are often recommended to help lower cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, individuals who are prescribed PCSK9 inhibitors are facing significant hurdles in accessing and using these potentially life-saving drugs, despite their proven efficacy in reducing LDL cholesterol. One major obstacle is insurance company denials or rejections. Data published in the November 2022 Journal of the American Medical Association found that for commercially insured patients prescribed a PCSK9 inhibitor, only 42% of initial rejections were overturned. Sadly, nearly 75% of patients rejected for a PCSK9 inhibitor ended up on no therapy, which is not a win for anyone. Research from the Family Heart Foundation shows that compared to individuals who were able to obtain their prescribed PCSK9 inhibitor, those whose prescription was rejected or abandoned experienced more heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events within 12 months. For more information and resources that can help, visit LDLSafeZone.org About Seth Baum, MD, FACC, FACPM, FAHA, FNLA, FASPC Dr. Seth J. Baum is Chief Scientific Officer at Flourish Research, and clinical affiliate professor of Cardiology at FAU Medical School.

Dog Law Specialists Cooper & Co Issue Statement on UK Government Intention to Ban American XL Bully Breed

Cooper & Co

Doglaw specialist solicitor Trevor Cooper from Cooper & Co Solicitors in Whitfield, Dover, who has acted for dog owners since the 1990s ( www.doglaw.co.uk ) today expressed his dismay that the Government has announced its intention to ban the American XL Bully under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 by the end of the year. “The government needs to learn from the mistakes of history, not repeat them,” said Mr Cooper. “Breed Specific Legislation has not worked. Just adding another type of dog onto the list of banned breeds is not going to protect the public. The Government needs to learn from the mistakes of history, not repeat them”. He continued “Not every XL Bully is going to be dangerous and not every owner who has one is irresponsible. If the ban is introduced, I urge the Government to have an exemption scheme which will allow dogs that do not pose a danger to public safety to be exempted from the prohibition”. “I shall need to consider the draft legislation and, in particular, will want to see how the Government is proposing to define which dogs this proposed ban applies to”. ENDS Notes Trevor Cooper is the Principal of Cooper & Co Solicitors of Whitfield, nr Dover (SRA 258139) and he maintains the website www.doglaw.co.uk. He has been qualified as a Solicitor for 36 years and is widely regarded as a leading expert in the law on dogs who deals with both civil and criminal issues on dogs in England & Wales.
