American Center for Cures Co-Founder Appointed by President Biden to National Cancer Advisory Board

The American Center for Cures

The American Center for Cures (ACC) today announced its long-time partner and co-founder Dr. Richard Boxer has been selected by President Joseph Biden to the National Cancer Advisory Board. In this role, Dr. Boxer will use his years of medical expertise to help guide the Director of the National Cancer Institute in the development of the organization’s national cancer research. Along with venerated entrepreneur Lou Weisbach, Dr. Boxer co-founded the ACC as a bipartisan initiative that aims to unite medicine, science, pharmaceuticals, business, and government to seek out new treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, mental diseases, many forms of cancer, and several others. “Richard Boxer and I have worked together on this important endeavor for more than a decade. It’s an honor to see him elevated to the National Cancer Advisory Board,” said Lou Weisbach, CEO and Co-Founder of ACC. “I’ve been working in a bipartisan way with leaders of both parties and the quote from Tom Price, former Secretary of Health, tells you all you need to know about our mission: ‘When this plan is approved it will rival the greatest achievements in US history and offer the sense of urgency that all American families yearn for and deserve when battling disease.’” Dr. Boxer, a UCLA Clinical Professor and Co-Founder of the American Center for Cures added: “I’ve dedicated my professional career to compassionate and uncompromising care for cancer patients and educating the public and the medical community and preventing and curing disease is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on. As a practicing urologist treating cancer patients and cancer survivor myself, the mission of the ACC and my role in its success is very personal.” Dr. Boxer, a Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, himself a three-time cancer survivor, has been practicing medicine for 44 years, caring for more than 7,000 patients with cancer and tens of thousands of patients with other illnesses. He represented the U.S. at the World Health Organization as a private citizen, a finalist for Surgeon General of the United States in both a Democratic and Republican Administration, and he was recently on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conquer Cancer Foundation. Dr. Boxer has published nearly 100 journal articles and book chapters on medical research and has also written extensively on health policy in national press outlets. He helped create the initial clinical protocols for telemedicine, becoming the Chief Medical Officer of numerous telemedicine companies. In April 2021, he was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award by the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School, its highest honor. “This is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on, whether they be black or white, rich or poor, Democrat or Republican,” declared Weisbach. “With kudos to all medical breakthroughs of the past, we still haven’t gotten the job done in a business-like fashion as a nation when it comes to prevention and cures. That ends today. We are not asking congress or both parties to move forward on this initiative, we are insisting that it be passed unanimously. This issue impacts all 335 million Americans in the same way, including everyone in The White House, as well as members of Congress and their families. If we cannot unite on this issue as Americans, then I submit there are no issues on which we can unite.” About American Center for Cures The American Center for Cures (ACC) initiative is a fully funded mission to prevent, treat or cure diseases that plague every American family. The initiative will be funded by the sale of $750B bonds by the Federal Reserve, providing the capital needed to accelerate the current trajectory of medicine. Annual interest will be paid through the licensing of new compounds and drugs to pharmaceutical companies. The principal will be repaid by savings provided to the United States Government through successes in the areas of prevention and cures. The ACC business model will cost the government and taxpayers nothing, making this the single most impactful investment on behalf of the American people in the nation’s history.

Waterdrop is a great way to drink more water and reach your daily hydration goals. Made from natural plant and fruit extracts for flavor, Waterdrop cubes are just dropped into a glass of water and provide you with energy from caffeine, plus essential vitamins and hydration – all without sugar. They come individually wrapped so you can bring them anywhere and just drop into your refillable water bottle!

So, whether you want to improve cognitive function, or simply feel healthier and more energetic, we need to make sure our brains are getting what they need. Focus Factor from Synergy CHC contains a clinically-tested and patented combination of neuro-nutrients plus vitamins and minerals. This formula not only helps boost your memory and focus, but it can also replace your everyday multivitamin, making it an excellent 2-for-1 supplement option to help optimize your performance throughout the day. Sleep and Aging Many of us struggle to get the quality sleep we need, and after a night of tossing and turning, we often lack the energy, confidence, and clear thinking we need to accomplish our goals. Somnapure Sleep Gummies from Force Factor can help. Their 100% drug-free, non-habit-forming formula contains a 10 mg dose of melatonin which helps you relax before bed, so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. And finally, as people age, our physical and mental performance may require more support. But there are ways for us to address these deficits and maintain our edge.

Pros and Cons of an ECN Forex Broker

LonghornFX

Although electronic communication network (ECN) technology has existed since the 1970s, it wasn’t until 1999 that it appeared on the foreign exchange (forex) market. In many ways, it represented the great equalizer, creating level ground with an accent on execution speed and cost transparency. This article will look into the peculiar details of ECN brokers — explain their business model, and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of this trading network. What is an ECN Broker? An ECN broker is a financial intermediary that allows its clients to execute orders on financial markets through an electronic communications network (ECN). This broker is strictly an intermediary, so it doesn’t take these orders on its books but simply matches them between the market participants. Because an ECN broker often uses multiple liquidity providers, the spread (difference between the buy and sell prices) is usually narrower. Instead of offering wider spreads, the ECN broker receives compensation through a fixed commission per transaction. Understanding the Electronic Communication Network ECN is a network that automatically matches orders between participants in the financial markets. Those participants can be institutions like banks or hedge funds but also small individual traders. The focus is on speed, and every participant can access the same price feed. This price reflects the highest bid and lowest ask on the open market. The current and the most recent price history is also available, enabling transparency and easier analysis. ECN trading is entirely anonymous, providing privacy to those who need it — particularly institutions that can be vulnerable to competition if their orders are discovered. Benefits of ECN Brokers ECN brokers offer significant benefits. Consider the following: Lower Bid and Ask Spreads ECN brokers consolidate price quotes from liquidity providers, offering deeper liquidity. For that reason, spreads are smaller, creating particularly beneficial situations for short-term, high-frequency traders. Quicker Trade Execution ECN functions as an automated system that matches market participants' orders directly. Because the broker only passes trades through, there is no dealing desk downside, such as price requotes that might delay the execution. Flexibility ECN brokers don’t operate dealing desks, giving them higher flexibility in their operations. Meanwhile, an ECN network allows traders to trade over-the-counter (OTC) even outside the busiest market hours without a conflict of interest with the broker as a counterparty. Flat Commission Rate ECN brokers charge a volume-based commission rate while minimizing or, in some instances, eliminating the spread. This approach allows for better trade planning because total fees are just a simple calculation away. Drawbacks of ECN Brokers ECN brokers offer many benefits, but their business model isn’t without downsides. Market Fragmentation Market fragmentation is a phenomenon of the same asset trading at different prices. With ECN brokers, that might happen if the underlying asset experiences a dip in liquidity when fulfilling a large order outside of high market hours. High Minimum Account Values and Trade Sizes ECN brokers make money on trading volume. Still, providing a customer with the service is a cost that needs to be recouped so ECN brokers often have higher minimum account and trade sizes. Can Be Less User-Friendly ECN broker platforms sometimes don’t offer extensive charting capabilities, news feeds or other features that might help traders. Traders who want those features should test ECN brokers before committing. ECN Brokers vs. Dealing Desk Brokers ECN brokers focus on matching the order with an opposite one from their liquidity pool. They’re also referred to as nondealing desk brokers because they don’t trade themselves. Dealing desk brokers take the other side of the trade and then manage that risk. Essentially, they make the market so they are classified as the market maker. This approach allows for offering more stable or fixed spreads. But those spreads are usually higher to compensate for risk and enable the dealing desk to profit by selling at a higher price. Traders have two main issues with dealing desk brokers. The first is the conflict of interest because the broker trades against the trader and profits from its loss — encouraging price manipulation. Second is price requotes and execution delays that might arise in unstable market conditions. Suitable for Most Traders Needs In the early days of electronic trading, the broker market in many ways resembled Wild West. Despite some honest operators leading the way, many shady or straight-out illegal brokers made and broke the market to steal clients’ funds. In those circumstances, ECN was the breakthrough technology. It leveled the playing field, giving all market participants the same access and opportunities. At the same time, it created a transparent environment where brokers have no conflict of interest but simply focus on fulfilling orders for a commission — an environment that perfectly suits most traders’ needs.

This planned expansion adds to Comcast’s ongoing $1.2 billion investment in Colorado over the last three years. Construction has already begun in parts of the Pueblo West community, and people will start being able to connect with services before the Fall of 2023. With this expansion, Comcast will provide multi-gig broadband internet speeds, video, mobile, voice, home management, and business products and services. “Comcast is committed to connecting more people to what and who matters most to them,” said J.D. Keller, Senior Vice President, Comcast’s Mountain West Region. “We’re excited to bring our fast, reliable, secure network and services to more people throughout Pueblo County. Whether it’s for work, school, or entertainment, our fiber-rich, multi-gigabit network is built to meet the needs of tomorrow - today.” Once complete, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of 1.2 Gigabit per second speeds, will give consumers throughout Pueblo West access to reliable and fast Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile service that outperforms its competitors. Comcast’s next-generation technology provides multiple layers of security that automatically detect and block hundreds of thousands of cyber events every second, providing peace of mind to consumers and businesses. “ Access to reliable internet and telecommunications services is critical to the vitality and economic growth of Pueblo,” said Jeff Shaw President/CEO from Pueblo Economic Development Corp. “Comcast is already a great service and community partner throughout our Pueblo communities, and we appreciate their investment. We value their commitment to increasing accessibility and bridging the gap to connect more people to much-needed services that will help our community and businesses thrive.” Comcast is committed to addressing digital equity in communities we serve, through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Last year, Comcast Colorado invested more than $42.6 million to help more than 260 community organizations statewide provide personalized digital skills training, offer workforce development/readiness workshops and other tech education to students, adults, and people with disabilities. Comcast supported local organizations including United Way of Pueblo County, Boys &Girls Clubs of Pueblo County, and Southern Colorado Youth Development among others. And Comcast has four Lift Zone connectivity centers at central community organizations throughout Pueblo including Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County, Southern Colorado Youth Development, El Centro Del Quinto Sol Pueblo Parks and Recreation, and RMSER Community Center, to ensure more people have access to secure, reliable Wi Fi. Comcast’s community funding supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offers eligible households up to $30/month credit, or up to $75 for households on tribal lands, for home Internet. Comcast proudly participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and offers Internet Essentials Plus, a $29.95/month home Internet service that is effectively free for eligible households, once the ACP credit is applied. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify.
