GBB Drink Lab Sends a Cease-and-Desist Demand

GBB Drink Lab

McapMediaWire -- GBB Drink Lab (“GBB” or the “Company”), a maker of the world’s first formulated drink that aids in rapid blood alcohol detoxification has issued a cease-and-desist demand to FSD Pharma (NASDAQ: HUGE) (“FSD”) a publicly traded biotechnology company that operates in the pharmaceutical research and development business. GBB has a patented formula that accelerates the process of converting alcohol to sugar in the body. By enhancing the metabolic pathways that facilitate this process, the formula can help the body clear alcohol much faster than normal. The Company has been working on a proprietary drink for several years using its patented formula. FSD Pharma entered into a binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with GBB. The companies had ongoing discussions about an acquisition for many months that GBB has since terminated. Mr. John Gulyas, Co-Founder of GBB Drink Lab, met with FSD and its principals over many months and shared proprietary information with the company that included without limitation, information created and developed by the company relating to composition, formulation, and methods of using the composition and formulations for reducing the effects associated with alcohol consumption in drink and other edible and nonedible forms. Per the cease and desist letter sent to FSD, "Not only has FSD and its principals committed fraud by way of wrongfully inducing GBB Drink Lab into providing the Product and other confidential information, but FSD and its principals have also committed multiple breaches of the Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) reverse-engineering the Product and/or other confidential information provided, in violation of Section 3 of the Agreement; and/or (ii) wrongfully asserting dominion over the Product and/or other confidential information (and all intellectual property rights pertaining thereto) by using such information to launch FSD’s recently announced Program”. Mr. Jarrett Boon, Co-Founder and CEO of GBB Drink Lab, states that “FSD Pharma has violated the NDA, developed a product using the Company's formula, trade secrets, methods, and has used the stolen information to gain investors for its own stock. GBB is aggressively taking legal action against the theft of its confidential information and has demanded that FSD halt its product from being launched”. Further evidence is supported that FSD Pharma has publicly announced the launch of a new research and development program targeting unmet medical needs for alcohol misuse. FSD Pharma has also announced the addition of Shark Tank investor and pitchman Kevin Harrington, and former Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) CEO Gerry David to its Advisory Board to help commercialize its efforts. GBB has demanded that "FSD immediately cease and desist the program, including, but not limited to, use of all confidential and/or proprietary information provided by GBB Drink Lab relating thereto." About GBB Drink Lab GBB Drink Lab started with a vision of making a positive impact by offering practical, evidence-based solution to reducing Blood Alcohol Content. The company’s product has been meticulously crafted to optimize your ability to sober up thus enabling you to escape an inebriated state. GBB Drink Lab leadership team includes accomplished serial entrepreneurs, a former senior executive from one of the world’s largest beverage companies, and an industry-leading expert in flavoring science and product formulation.

As He Pretends Anheuser-Busch is an American Company, CEO Brendan Whitworth Fails Leadership Test

National Legal & Policy Center

Anheuser-Busch has finally addressed the controversy that has embroiled the company since April 1 when it centered a Bud Light promotion around transgender “influencer” Dylan Mulvaney. Only problem is, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released a statement Friday addressing the issue by not addressing it, accomplishing nothing but to underscore his own helplessness and guaranteeing that the conflagration will continue. Whitworth’s statement asserted that “we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.” But nowhere could he even say what the “discussion” is about, as if the topic was too hot to even mention. He doesn’t say it was a mistake for a beer company to promote transgenderism, nor does he defend the ad campaign. It is as if he had to say something if only to quiet his coterie of underlings and PR consultants who were no doubt urging him to say something. He took the faintest stab possible to assuage consumers who might most object to the promotion by saluting “military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.” But he could not state the obvious about why all these great people might object to Dylan Mulvaney, namely that men cannot become women, and that it is a folly for anyone, much less a beer company, to advance this lie. Unfortunate for Whitworth, he is handcuffed by the company’s long association with activists who would turn on him as quickly and eagerly as they have accepted his company’s support and money over the years. Anheuser-Busch gets a perfect 100 score on the Human Rights Campaign so-called Corporate Equality Index, and the company promotes gender ideology in its internal training programs. Whitworth fails the leadership test. It’s easy to lay claim to effective institutional management when all the choices are good. Real leadership becomes evident, however, when the choices are bad. But maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on poor Whitworth because his authority as CEO is not what is seems. Whitworth, whose actual title is “CEO North American Zone,” proudly reports that Anheuser-Busch was “founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago,” but he does not mention that the company was sold to the multinational InBev in 2008. The company is now known as Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA/NV, and is incorporated and headquartered in Belgium. In addition, CEO Michael Doukeris is a Brazilian citizen. According the company’s website, nine of its 12 directors are appointed by something called “Stichting Anheuser-Busch InBev,” which it describes as “a foundation organised under the laws of the Netherlands, which represents an important part of the interests of the Belgian founding families of the Company and the interests of the Brazilian families previously shareholders of AmBev.” So, Whitworth’s real bosses are a group of ultrarich Europeans and South Americans, who will ultimately act in what they perceive to be their own interests, not those of American beer drinkers. These plutocrats attempt to keep the attention off their wealth by buying off the activists who might challenge it. That is why the company panders to, and bankrolls, a host of woke causes worldwide. Like Unilever, another Europe-based multinational whose American subsidiary Ben & Jerry’s plunged it into controversy (when it ended ice cream sales in the disputed territories of Israel), Anheuser-Busch InBev abets social and political causes that undermine the cultural values and economic interests of the consumers they purport to serve. National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) sponsors the Corporate Integrity Project. When Anheuser-Busch was still an independent company, NLPC filed a series of shareholder proposals seeking disclosure of its financial support for political and social activist groups.

A proxy is a computer networking mechanism serving as a mediator between you and the service you need. Mostly, this is needed for load balancing, privacy, and security, but there are also additional benefits for different spheres. Why should I use a proxy on PS4 and PS5? Here is the answer: Gaming services may request extra apps for better connectivity. A console can repeatedly ask for such an application and lag if you have no proxy service. That often happens if your WiFi is unsecured, there is data corruption, hardware problems, or the PlayStation network bans you. Proxies ensure the possibility of interruptions is minimized. Your gaming console gets an additional security shield. PlayStation never uses VPNs directly, but a proxy service with rotating IPs can help gamers circumvent geo-restrictions. So, What Is the Best Proxy Server for PS4 and PS5? Discover the top proxy server address PS4 PS5 here! All of them are different and can be more helpful for a specific game. #1 MobileHop — Best for the US Gaming Experience Overall 🥇 IPs and locations MobileHop focuses on US locations.

It provides IPs in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Creating a list of those here will take the whole website. But also, SmartProxy is a rare case that works with various locations in Oceania, such as Australia Fiji Micronesia Palau Tuvalu Christmas Island French Polynesia Nauru Papua New Guinea Vanuatu Cocos Islands Guam etc. Also, you can buy proxies for particular cities. Why choose SmartProxy? Besides the 195+ locs, this PS5 and PS4 proxy server provider guarantees a 99.99% uptime and 99.47% success rate and offers 50M+ residential, mobile, and data center IPs.

This provider offers 100M+ residential proxies and 2M+ data center proxies — all at top speed and with great performance. Oxylabs is more suitable for business but can also be the handiest gaming tool. #6 BrightData — Best for High-Speed Services 🚀 BridghtData has five stars on most review platforms but deserves the night sky. That is a reliable proxy for gaming and other purposes, and the brand also contributes a ton to charity. Using BrightData, gamers get the needed fast connectivity with security and make this world healthier. #7 HideMyName — Best Cheap Proxy for Gaming of All This tested and trusted proxy provider protects all your passwords, transactions, and other data. HideMyName has been around for a long time, shows great performance, offers many locations, and has a strong customer protection policy. #8 IPRoyal — Best for the EU Gamers 🏰 IPRoyal has many payment plans and has made gaming-optimal ones the cheapest.

This cheap gaming proxy ensures fast performance and 100% informational safety online. #10 Storm Proxies — Best for Free Bandwidth 👍 Storm Proxies is another all-in-one service you can use for gaming. Moreover, the brand has created special services for gamers. Its wide bandwidth is 100% free! Furthermore, this best free proxy server has fast speeds and good support. Free Proxies VS Paid: Can a Free Proxy Carry You? 🤔 Free proxy servers are a popular consideration. Moreover, such apps and IP rotators can be costly, which does not help when a PS game already costs $50 and more. Like, excuse me, $30 for a security-boosting app when Dead Space is already $69.99, and Elden Ring is $59.99? Na, ima get a free proxy... The thing is, I do not recommend using even the best free proxy server. The so-called best free proxy app can be seemingly functional and helpful. Yet, practice shows that such tools usually have technical issues and only pretend to secure your device from digital threats. Moreover, the potentially best free proxy server will still have a lower speed than a paid one. Suppose you want a cool game and have two options: buy a licensed version or pirate it. You feel this difference, right? Sticking to the safest options is better, even when costly. Final Words 👋😀 Have you found the best proxy service for your needs? I hope yes! Stay safe, enjoy your gaming sessions, and may your PS always be protected! Best of luck! Contact Details Proxy Bros Nick +1 929-491-3157 hello@proxybros.com Company Website https://proxybros.com/

Comcast Texas Commits More Than $1M to Shrink Local Digital Divide in 2023

Comcast Texas

Comcast Texas, the Houston area's largest internet service provider, will commit more than $1 million to shrink the local digital divide this year by supporting more than 60 organizations and programs that help people connect to the Internet, learn digital skills, and climb the economic ladder. The investment is part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive $1 billion initiative to advance digital equity across the nation and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. To help fuel economic mobility locally this year, a large portion of Comcast Texas’ $1 million investment will go to area nonprofit organizations to fund community programs with the following focus: Connectivity & Adoption, Digital Skills in the Workforce and Entrepreneurship. Connectivity & Adoption Connectivity programs equip individuals, families and community partners with the right tools and resources to take advantage of the Internet. Adoption programs teach individuals the skills needed to increase competency and confidence in technology in order to use it proficiently. Digital Skills in the Workforce Over 90% of jobs available today require digital skills, yet nearly one-third of US workers lack opportunities to build these skills. Digital skills programs teach individuals the tech skills needed to land a job and stay competitive in the changing marketplace. Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship programs focus on helping people build digital skills to launch and grow their businesses. “These investments are part of Comcast Texas’ ongoing commitment to provide people with the digital tools needed to succeed in this ever-connected world,” said Ralph Martinez, Comcast Texas’ Regional Senior Vice President. “As we expand our next-generation network across southeast Texas, we’re here to be good neighbors. We’re here to support and uplift the communities we’re honored to do business in by teaming up with trusted partners to invest in programs that make a difference.” The first round of Comcast Texas’ 2023 grant funding and other support to local organizations will be announced in May with more announcements made throughout the year. Additional support will be considered for local organizations that raise awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program. Internet Essentials provides affordable home Internet for qualifying households ($9.95/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $29.95/mo for up to 100 Mbps) — as well as low-cost computers, free WiFi hotspots, and free Internet training. The federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides qualified households with a credit of up to $30/mo towards internet and mobile services. About Comcast Corporation: Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company. From the connectivity and platforms we provide, to the content and experiences we create, our businesses reach hundreds of millions of customers, viewers, and guests worldwide.

Dialysis is one of the largest, most expensive, least-changed healthcare sectors, even though half a million Americans depend on dialysis to live. Despite the huge expense and burden on providers and patients, dialysis has seen virtually no innovation over the last 30 years. Until Tablo, an easy-to-learn, all-in-one dialysis device that allows for dialysis to be delivered anytime, anywhere and by virtually anyone. Tablo is FDA-cleared for use in many settings, from hospital to home. The intuitive, interactive touchscreen displays 3-D animations and conversational instructions to simplify system set-up, treatment and alarm resolution. With the help of Tablo, David is dialyzing at home, on his schedule, and has been able to build his life around what matters most to him: his family, music career and kidney disease advocacy efforts. The ease of use has provided David with the flexibility to choose when and how he receives treatment, even when he’s on the road touring.
