KISS PR Brand Story

Legal and injury financial expert and car accident lawyer, Cliff Levenson, sheds light on the potential financial consequences of being involved in a car accident. With over 20 years of legal practice, Levenson has witnessed firsthand the financial hardships that can arise from such incidents. Levenson emphasizes that car accidents can impose a substantial financial burden due to medical bills, lost wages, and various other costs that quickly accumulate. It is crucial to comprehend the possible financial implications of a car accident before it occurs. Moreover, Levenson highlights that if the accident is caused by someone else's negligence, the financial burden can be even greater. In such cases, the responsible party may be liable for the expenses related to the accident. Understanding one's rights and seeking legal guidance after an accident is of utmost importance. Additionally, Levenson points out that if a car accident results in serious injury or death, the financial strain can become overwhelming. It is vital to grasp the potential financial repercussions of such an eventuality. Levenson stresses the significance of seeking legal advice following a car accident. An experienced attorney can guide the potential financial ramifications and assist in pursuing rightful compensation. In conclusion, Levenson underscores the importance of being prepared for the potential financial implications of a car accident. By understanding the possible financial burden, individuals can better navigate and manage the situation if it arises. Not Seeking Immediate Medical Attention One of the biggest mistakes people make after being injured in a car accident is not seeking immediate medical attention. Even if you think your injuries are minor, it's important to get checked out by a healthcare professional as soon as possible. Injuries may not always be apparent right away, and delaying treatment can worsen your condition and make it harder to prove that your injuries were a result of the accident. Not Reporting the Accident Another common mistake is not reporting the accident to the police or your insurance company. It's important to have an official record of the accident for insurance purposes, as well as to protect yourself legally in case there are any disputes about who was at fault. Admitting Fault It's natural to feel guilty or sorry after being involved in a car accident, but it's crucial not to admit fault at the scene. Even if you think you may have been partially responsible, it's important to let the authorities and insurance companies determine fault based on evidence rather than your own statements. Not Collecting Evidence Speaking of evidence, not collecting it at the scene of the accident is another mistake to avoid. This includes taking photos of the vehicles involved, their positions on the road, and any visible injuries. It's also important to collect contact information from any witnesses who may have seen the accident occur. Not Keeping Records In addition to collecting evidence, it's important to keep all records related to your car accident injury. This includes medical bills, receipts for any out-of-pocket expenses, and documentation of missed work or other losses due to the accident. These records will be crucial in determining the compensation you may be entitled to. Not Seeking Legal Representation Finally, one of the biggest mistakes you can make after a serious car accident injury is not seeking legal representation. Dealing with insurance companies and navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, especially while recovering from injuries. A car accident injury lawyer can help protect your rights and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your losses. There are steps that individuals can take to reduce their risk of being involved in a serious car accident. Here are some ways to avoid serious car accident injuries in Phoenix, Arizona. Follow Traffic Laws and Signs One of the most effective ways to prevent a car accident is by following traffic laws and signs. These laws and signs are put in place to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road. Speed limits, stop signs, and traffic signals should always be obeyed. Failure to follow these laws can result in serious accidents, especially at busy intersections. Maintain Your Vehicle Another important factor in preventing car accidents is properly maintaining your vehicle. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations, can help prevent mechanical failures that could lead to accidents. It is also important to check your brakes, headlights, and turn signals regularly to ensure they are functioning properly. Avoid Distractions Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Phoenix, Arizona. Texting, eating, and adjusting music or navigation systems can all lead to a driver taking their eyes off the road and causing an accident. It is important to eliminate any distractions while operating a vehicle to minimize the risk of a serious accident. Practice Defensive Driving Defensive driving is the practice of being aware of potential hazards on the road and taking preemptive measures to avoid them. This can include maintaining a safe following distance, scanning for potential dangers, and anticipating the actions of other drivers. By practicing defensive driving, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of being involved in a serious car accident. Avoid Driving Under the Influence Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a major contributor to car accidents in Phoenix, Arizona. It impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, all of which are crucial for safe driving. It is important to always have a designated driver or use alternative modes of transportation if you plan on consuming substances that could impair your ability to drive. Buckle Up Wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent serious injuries in a car accident. Seatbelts help keep individuals secure in their seats, reducing the risk of being thrown from the vehicle or hitting hard surfaces inside the car. Both drivers and passengers must buckle up every time they get in a car. Car accidents can be extremely traumatizing experiences. Not only do they cause physical injuries, but they can also result in emotional distress and financial burdens. If you have been involved in a serious car accident in Phoenix, Arizona, it's important to know what mistakes to avoid to protect yourself and your rights.

News Release

Yorkton Equity Group Inc. Announces Upsizing and Closing of Private Placement

Yorkton Equity Group Inc.

Edmonton, Alberta - TheNewswire - December 19, 2023 - Yorkton Equity Group Inc. (TSXV:YEG) (“ Yorkton ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has upsized and closed the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement, as previously announced on October 12 th, 2023, October 18 th, 2023 and November 27 th, 2023 (the "Private Placement") of unsecured convertible debentures of the Company (the “Convertible Debentures”). The Private Placement was increased to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,736,000 through the sale of 2,736 Convertible Debentures. Upon closing of the Private Placement, Yorkton issued an aggregate of 2,736 Convertible Debentures, at an issue price of $1,000 per Convertible Debenture, for gross proceeds of $2,736,000. Details of this Private Placement: Each Convertible Debenture has an issue price of $1,000 with an interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, payable annually to the Convertible Debenture holders only in cash no later than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of the closing date of the Private Placement to the maturity date. Each Convertible Debenture will mature on the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Convertible Debenture (the “Term”). The principal amount of each Convertible Debenture may, at the option of the Convertible Debenture holder, be convertible, in whole or in part during the Term, into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.20 per Common Share (the “Conversion”), after which such principal amount of the Convertible Debenture will be extinguished. The Company, after a period of thirty-six (36) months following the date of closing, will have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem the principal amount and any unpaid interest of the Convertible Debenture, in cash, without penalty, at any time prior to the date of maturity by providing a thirty (30) calendar day notice period (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Convertible Debenture holder by way of a written notice or a press release duly disseminated. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Convertible Debenture holder, at its sole discretion, may request for a Conversion (of the principal amount only exclusive of any interest component which is payable in cash only) from the Company by the issuance of Common Shares. All rights to Conversion lapses ten (10) business days after receipt of the Redemption Notice. The Convertible Debentures and any Common Shares issuable upon conversion are subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day following the closing date. The Company has used the proceeds from the initial tranche closing of the Private Placement for the closing of the acquisition of “The Fuse”, a 125-unit condominium grade multi-family residential complex that was constructed in 2015 and is comprised of two buildings situated on approximately 2.67 acres of land located in the Summerside neighborhood with the municipal addresses of 2105 and 2109 68 Street SW, Edmonton, Alberta (previously announced on October 18 th, 2023) and the Company intends to use the additional proceeds from the Private Placement for unallocated and general working capital. In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company paid fees of $12,800 to Sentinel Financial Management Corp. Pursuant to the Private Placement, Mr. Ben Lui acquired 2,000 Convertible Debentures in the initial tranche closing (as previously announced on October 18 th, 2023) and 33 Convertible Debentures in the final tranche closing of the Private Placement, for an aggregate of 2,033 Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $2,033,000. The transactions are each considered to be a “related party transaction” pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as Mr. Ben Lui is the CEO, director and majority shareholder of Yorkton. These transactions were exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. In particular, the Company has determined that the exemption set out in paragraph (b) in section 5.5 of MI 61-101 is applicable since the Company is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, regarding the minority shareholder approval exemption, the independent directors have determined that the exemption set out in paragraphs (1)(b) in section 5.7 of MI 61-101 is applicable in that the distribution of the securities to Mr. Ben Lui has a fair market value of not more than $2,500,000 and the Company is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of these transactions 21 days in advance of the closing of the Private Placement because insider participation had not been confirmed. The shorter period was necessary in order to permit the Company to close the Private Placement in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature. Early Warning Report Requirements: Mr. Ben Lui, who currently owns or controls (directly or indirectly) 82,511,845 (or 73.23%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, acquired 2,000 Convertible Debentures in the initial tranche closing (as previously announced on October 18 th, 2023) and 33 Convertible Debentures in the final tranche closing, for an aggregate of 2,033 Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $2,033,000 pursuant to the Private Placement, being 74.31% of the Convertible Debentures issued in the Private Placement and 32.53% of all currently issued and outstanding convertible debentures of the Company. The Convertible Debentures held by Mr. Ben Lui may be converted, at his option, into a maximum of 10,348,333 Common Shares at a conversion price of between $0.20 and $0.30 per Common Share by delivering written notice to convert at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to the final tranche closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Ben Lui (directly or indirectly) owned 82,511,845 Common Shares, 275,000 stock options, and 2,055 unsecured convertible debentures (as previously announced on April 20 th, 2023 and October 18 th, 2023) of the Company. If all of Mr. Ben Lui’s stock options and unsecured convertible debentures were exercised, Mr. Ben Lui would have owned (directly or indirectly) 75.50% of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a partially diluted basis. After the final tranche closing of the Private Placement, Mr. Ben Lui (directly or indirectly) owns 82,511,845 Common Shares, 275,000 stock options of the Company and 2,088 unsecured convertible debentures. If all of Mr. Ben Lui’s stock options and unsecured convertible debentures were exercised, Mr. Ben Lui would own (directly or indirectly) 75.53% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a partially diluted basis. The Convertible Debentures were acquired for investment purposes. Mr. Ben Lui has no current intention to enter into any of the transactions listed in item 5 of Form F1 of National Instrument 62-103 but in the future, he may discuss such transactions with management and/or the board of directors of the Company and he may further purchase, hold, convert, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the securities of the Company, in such manner as he deems advisable to benefit from changes in market prices of the Company’s securities, publicly disclosed changes in the operations of the Company, its business strategy or prospects or from a material transaction of the Company, and he will also consider the availability of funds, evaluation of alternative investments and other factors. An early warning report will be filed by Mr. Ben Lui in accordance with applicable securities laws and will be available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Recharge Resources Acquires Pocitos II

Recharge Resources Ltd.

Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - December 19, 2023 - Recharge Resources Ltd. ("Recharge" or the "Company") (RR:CSE) (RECHF:OTC) (SL5:Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that it has finalised negotiations to acquire the adjacent concession Pocitos II Lithium Brine Project ( “Pocitos II” ) that covers 532 hectares increasing the Pocitos area project to a total of 1,332 hectares, located near Pocitos township in Salta Province, Argentina. The impetus to acquire the property came from the outstanding geophysics from the recent MT survey and the need to have a larger area to pump brine to our proposed Ekos Research Pty Ltd.’s Ekosolve™ Technology ( “Ekosolve™” ) direct lithium extraction ( “DLE” ) lithium production system. The terms of the acquisition are: US$25,000 cash payable to the Vendor on February 1, 2024; and US$75,000 cash payable to the Vendor after three months from the date of the Purchase Agreement; and US$700,000 cash payable to the Vendor after six months from the date of the Purchase Agreement. An option has been provided to the Vendor for the Company to pay in lieu of cash, 20% (US$140,000) in common shares of the Company to the Vendor at the vendor’s discretion at a 10% volume-weighted average price ( “VWAP” ) discount subject to a four-month restricted hold from the date of issuance (the "Terms" ). "We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Pocitos II project, expanding our reach to 1,332 hectares in the prolific Salta Province, Argentina. This strategic expansion not only signifies our growing footprint in the lithium sector but also reinforces our commitment to developing sustainable and high-yield lithium resources. The integration of Pocitos II into our portfolio represents a significant milestone for Recharge Resources, as we continue to solidify our position in the lithium market and work towards meeting the global demand for clean energy solutions," commented David Greenway, CEO of Recharge Resources. This is another milestone in the Company's endeavour to build up to a 20,000-tonne DLE plant at the Pocitos project in order to supply Richlink Capital Pty Ltd. ( “Richlink” ) clients up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate per year, as previously announced under a letter of intent of offtake. Phil Thomas our QP, COO and Director recently made a visit to Shanghai China and met with Richlink and its clients and inspected a lithium chloride, and lithium n-butyl plant.

Phillip Thomas, COO commented, “we are delighted that have acquired the project in the centre of the salar as it makes sense given the geometry of proposed pumping plans, the low resistivity measured in the recent magnetotelleric survey of less than 1ohm.m and gets us a prime location in the middle of the salar. The Company is pushing forward on all fronts with a pending drill program to continue to build on this soon to be release MRE report.

Danny Trejo Joins Telemundo’s Poder En Ti Dec. 19 for Special Latino Men’s Mental Health Program ‘Tu Fuerza Secreta (Your Secret Strength)…Love, Your Mind’

Telemundo

Acclaimed actor Danny Trejo is joining forces with Telemundo’ s award-winning community initiative “El Poder En Ti” and the “Love, Your Mind” campaign from the Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council for an exclusive Latino men’s mental health event called ‘Tu Fuerza Secreta, Con Amor, Tu Mente’ (Your Secret Strength…Love, Your Mind). The program is focused on destigmatizing and normalizing conversations about mental health in the Hispanic community and will stream on digital channels for Telemundo’s “El Poder En Ti” platform on December 19th at 5:00 pm EST/2:00 pm PST. Led by Noticias Telemundo Morning News Correspondent Martin Berlanga, the conversation will also feature Antonio Tijerino, President and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, and nationally recognized mental health expert Alfredo Hernandez. The participants will be talking about their personal mental health journeys, how we can destigmatize conversations about mental health, and sharing valuable resources from LoveYourMindToday.org. “As we enter the holidays, it can be particularly challenging and lonely for those suffering from mental health and emotional issues. I want to say that you are not alone. We are all in this together,” said renowned actor Danny Trejo. “If we Latino men take care of our mental health, we will become better men, better husbands, better fathers, and better brothers. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness. Working to improve our mental health is actually a sign of strength and character.” According to Ad Council research fielded in October 2023, 63% of Hispanic adults report having a mental health condition, either professionally or self-diagnosed, a rate higher than the general population (55%) of those with a condition, only 42% are getting help or treatment. This underscores the urgency to address this topic within the Latino community. “Telemundo recognizes the profound impact that mental health has on our communities,” said Vice President of Corporate and External Affairs, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, Luis Rosero. “Collaborating with the Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council on this important initiative reflects our commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering open, honest conversations about mental health. It’s a vital step towards changing perceptions and supporting our community in prioritizing their mental well-being.” “We know that mental health impacts so many in our Latino community, and that there is a need for culturally relevant resources that can offer guidance,” said Antonio Tijerino, President and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. “Through events like this one in partnership with the ‘Love, Your Mind’ campaign, we can help to dispel myths, break down barriers, and encourage Latino men to be proactive in taking care of their mental health.” The “Love, Your Mind” campaign was developed by Huntsman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council to reach adults across the U.S. who are experiencing mental health challenges while also holding attitudes and beliefs that may discourage them from seeking help. Through national PSAs, as well as partnerships with community-based organizations and influential leaders, the campaign inspires individuals to nurture their relationship with their minds the same way they care for their closest personal relationships. “We want to encourage Latino men to seek the help that they may need for their mental and emotional health,” said Alfredo Hernandez, mental health counselor and psychotherapist. “Even during the holidays, when family gatherings, social pressures or loneliness can get the better of us, there are little things we can do to take a breath, step away, take a moment for ourselves, and lovingly and mindfully practice self-care.” Visit LoveYourMindToday.org to access free mental health resources in English and Spanish, and follow the campaign on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

Alkimi Launches Mainnet; Bringing $600 Billion Industry On-Chain

Alkimi

Chainwire Alkimi, the world’s first decentralised ad exchange, has exited beta and now has advertisers and publishers buying and selling inventory through its blockchain-based programmatic platform. The launch of a custom consensus, distributed ledger and node platform marks a new era for digital advertising. It makes it possible to buy and sell advertising space in a completely decentralised manner through the blockchain infrastructure. The mainnet Alkimi offers delivers performance enhancements, complete transparency, and greater efficiency in the digital advertising ecosystem. By cutting the fees from over 37% to between 3-5%, the cost of buying ads was reduced from $9.03 to $2.71, granting advertisers 212% more media while also increasing ad campaign performance by 19% in collaboration with the world’s largest media agencies and publishers. Ben Putley, Alkimi CEO and Co-Founder, expressed how “I am thrilled to announce the launch of Alkimi Exchange’s mainnet, a pivotal moment in our journey to revolutionise digital advertising. In 2023, the digital ad spend is projected to be $678.9 billion, signifying the immense potential of this market. Alkimi Exchange will capture this potential by bringing a significant portion of digital ad spend on-chain via our exchange AlEx.” For advertisers and media agencies, the mainnet presents a level of clarity and accountability in ad spend that was previously unattainable. Publishers, in contrast, are poised to benefit from a more streamlined and profitable approach to ad management and revenue generation, with a higher proportion of advertiser dollars being passed on to them, thus creating more value online. A key feature of the new mainnet is the inclusion of a Liquidity Staking Derivative (LSD), allowing users to join a liquidity pool on Balancer and stake their LP tokens (stADS) on the user portal, labs.alkimi.org. This feature offers users the opportunity to ‘yield farm’ the internet.

Rooled Helps Small Businesses Get Money Back on 2023 Tax Filings

Rooled

Rooled, a provider of outsourced accounting and tax preparation services, announces its tax experts are now available to help small businesses maximize savings ahead of the upcoming tax season. With the complexities of small business taxes, it's never too early to start preparing to file, yet often, business owners not only lack awareness of available credits but also the time to navigate eligibility and requirements to claim them. Rooled can streamline the process for available tax credits, including previously unclaimed opportunities such as the Employee Retention Credit. The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) was designed to help businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing a substantial tax credit based on a percentage of qualified wages paid to employees. The credit is available to eligible employers who retained employees and paid them wages during the pandemic. The ERC was enacted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) in March 2020. Bryce Allen, the Director of Tax at Rooled, states, "The ERC is a prime example of a tax credit many small businesses may not realize they are eligible for, and as a result, have left a substantial amount of money on the table. The ERC is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid by the employer, up to $10,000 per employee. Of course, there have been adjustments since its inception. However, the credit is still available for 2023 filings, and our tax experts can help clients navigate the process for the ERC as well as other valuable credits with confidence." Outsourcing tax prep means leveraging the expertise of skilled professionals to streamline the process of tax planning, filing, and compliance. Whether it's tax returns, tax planning strategies, state and federal tax compliance, or identifying tax credits and benefits, Rooled offers comprehensive solutions tailored to the needs of small businesses. By outsourcing, small businesses can unlock scalability and cost-effectiveness by tapping into specialized tax knowledge without the overhead costs of an internal team. By leveraging innovative tools for real-time data synchronization, digital document management, and data analytics, Rooled provides clients with a comprehensive view of their financial landscape and can optimize their tax strategy more efficiently. For small businesses interested in this opportunity, Rooled is offering a free 1-hour consultation. To schedule, visit www.rooled.com. Rooled combines decades of experience with best-of-breed technologies to make its clients' finances easier to manage, easier to coordinate, and easier to advance. Whether a small business just starting out, a rapidly growing company, or an established enterprise seeking new efficiencies, the company's dedicated team provides tailored solutions and unparalleled support so clients can take their business to the next level with ease. Rooled partners with clients to understand their business and implement customized solutions. The team at Rooled believes that by getting to know clients on a personal level, they can better understand their unique needs and provide customized solutions that truly meet their goals.
