SK-II

For more than 40 years, SK-II has touched the lives of millions of women around the world through skin and life transformation. The fascinating story behind SK-II began with a quest to understand why elderly sake brewers had wrinkled faces, but extraordinarily soft and youthful-looking hands. These hands were in constant contact with the sake fermentation process. It took years of research for scientists to isolate SK-II’s iconic ingredient PITERA™, a naturally-derived skincare ingredient crafted from a proprietary yeast fermentation process exclusive to SK-II. Since then, SK-II with PITERA™ has become a special secret shared by celebrities all over the world such as Haruka Ayase, Tangwei, and MINA of global girl group TWICE.

Society of Actuaries Research Institute Launches International Longevity Illustrator for Singapore, Hong Kong and Canada

  • The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute announced the International Longevity Illustrator, a free tool to help individuals and couples in Singapore, Hong Kong and Canada so they can better navigate the rising healthcare costs and overall costs of living and plan for a more secure retirement.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 20 July 2023 – The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute announced the International Longevity Illustrator, a free tool to help individuals and couples in Singapore, Hong Kong and Canada estimate how long they may live so they can plan a more secure retirement.

To use the International Longevity Illustrator, an individual or a couple enters basic information about themselves, such as their age, sex and general health status, and the tool generates easy-to-read charts showing the likelihood of living to certain ages. For example, a couple can determine the chance of living a given number of years together as well as the likelihood that one or the other will survive additional years.

“A variety of possibilities should be considered when preparing for retirement, including longevity,” said Lisa Schilling, FSA, EA, FCA, MAAA, senior retirement research actuary, SOA Research Institute. “Singaporeans have one of the highest life expectancies in the world, and as they live longer, it is more important than ever that they are sufficiently protected against health risks associated with ageing, and the overall rising costs of living. SOA’s Longevity Illustrator, a web-based tool, is designed to provide information to help individuals and couples plan a secure retirement more effectively with just a few simple steps.”

Since longevity varies across countries, projections are based on mortality and longevity data that is specific to the country where the individual user lives. The International Longevity Illustrator does not provide financial advice; however, the results can be useful for individuals or couples to understand their financial needs in retirement. Access the tool at ili.soa.org.

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – July 19, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Arrow Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: AROW) between March 12, 2022 and May 12, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important August 22, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Arrow securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Arrow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17331 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 22, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Arrow maintained defective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting; (2) the foregoing increased the risk that the company could not timely file one or more of its periodic financial reports with the SEC as required by the NASDAQ’s listing requirements; (3) accordingly, Arrow was at an increased risk of being delisted from the NASDAQ; (4) following the disclosure of deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, Arrow downplayed the severity of these issued and the associated risks; and (5) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Arrow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17331 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The CA provides for the licensing of certain intellectual properties, projects, and products to Pedro and, in return, Pedro will make a $200,000 cash payment to FEI, payable over six months. The first payment will be made within twenty-one days following regulatory approval of the CA. The CA also includes provisions for the future acquisition of FEI if warranted.

“Pedro began looking at biotechnology because of the major reclamation issues facing the mining industry. FEI is harnessing the earth’s natural immune system to do what Mother Earth does naturally. The difference is FEI has found ways to dramatically shorten the time frame from decades or centuries to weeks or months,” says Pedro CEO, Brian Stecyk. “We expect that Pedro’s relationship with FEI, and our ability to finance their product development, will enhance FEI’s ability to produce safe, cost effective, and timely solutions to many of the contamination challenges that companies encounter in the development of their projects.”

“We are proud to enter this new relationship with Pedro. The biotechnology we are working on has a positive impact on the environment. As a small company we have limited resources to pursue expansion and continue the ongoing research and development of our biotechnology. This CA is a positive first step for both parties to further develop these technologies,” says Timothy Repas, President of FEI.

About Fixed Earth Innovation Inc.

FEI was founded in 2019 and is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is focused on the development and commercialization of biotechnology for the remediation, reclamation and restoration of soils, water, and facilities contaminated by chemicals, hydrocarbons or other hazardous materials including tetrachloroethylene (commonly referred to as PERCs or PCEs) and poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”, commonly referred to as “forever chemicals”).(1). FEI has been successful in identifying and applying microbial and other biotechnology solutions in mining, oil & gas site reclamation, forestry recovery, agriculture, and other areas where contaminated sites or low productivity bio-sites required remediation. These biotechnology solutions have resulted from FEI’s in-house research into various global contaminants. FEI uniquely insolates microbes on-site for an improved balance of native organics to address contaminant remediation. FEI combines laboratory research and field trials to create processes for new solutions.

Recent contaminant reclamation and remediation and ecosystem restoration projects undertaken by FEI, include the following:

1) FEI provided site-specific microbes and bioremediation expertise to a year-long PFAS bioremediation demonstration at the Dane County Regional Airport (Madison, Wisconsin) in conjunction with other technology and field solutions providers.

2) FEI isolated and tested area-specific microbes for a First Nation in northeast B.C. for use in enhancing plant growth on seismic line restoration projects. These microbes were deployed with 30,000 trees on field sites in 2022 and monitoring of their benefits is ongoing.

3) FEI has been completing pilots using area-specific microbes and capsule technology to enhance the deployment of native seed on oil & gas restoration sites in B.C. for the past three years. In 2023, a major oil & gas producer committed to full-scale deployments of these technologies on multiple restoration projects.

4) In 2022, FEI isolated and lab-validated microbes for use in assisting plant growth in environments impacted by acid mine drainage. These microbes were deployed in full-scale by an oil & gas producer to offset the ecosystem effects of acid drainage at a former production site in B.C. This site was also used as a pilot site for FEI’s technologies to introduce lichen to sites disturbed by resource extraction.

5) FEI isolated site-specific microbes for use in remediation of PCE at a former industrial facility in Edmonton, Alberta. These microbes were validated in the lab and field tested before full scale deployment in late 2022. Preliminary monitoring of the site by a qualified third-party has demonstrated major reductions in contamination at the site.
