ABT FINAL DEADLINE: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Abbott Laboratories Investors With Losses Over $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important October 31 Deadline in Securities Class Action – ABT

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – October 21, 2022 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) between February 19, 2021 and June 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 31, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Abbott 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 Abbott class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8453 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 October 31, 2022. 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), Abbott had “egregiously unsanitary” conditions at its Sturgis, Michigan facility which produced nearing half of Abbott’s various forms of infant formula under the brands Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare; (2) as a result, Abbott’s infant formula business was in dire jeopardy given the flagrant violations of federal and state health and safety regulations; (3) based on inspections by the FDA between 2019 and 2022, Abbott failed to establish process controls “designed to ensure that infant formula does not become adulterated due to the presence of microorganisms in the formula or in the processing environment” and Abbott also failed to “ensure that all surfaces that contacted infant formula were maintained to protect infant formula from being contaminated by any source”; (4) the unhygienic conditions of the Sturgis facility resulted in the recall of Abbott’s infant formula and closure of the Sturgis facility; and (5) as a result, defendants’ public statements about Abbott’s business, operations, and prospects 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 Abbott class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=8453 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.

“Saudi Arabia’s financial market has tremendous potential with rapid growth. It requires involvement and participation of a wide range of financial institutions and platforms to fully meet the demand. We believe that VCFC is ready to bring its proven technology and big data driven service offerings from other markets to the kingdom, and serve Saudi financial sector together with its local partners.” said Jerry Li, Managing Partner of eWTP Arabia Capital.

IB Super Introduces Brand New Virtual Tools To Boost Online Learning

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 October 2022 – IB Super is an established IB tuition centre that has launched new virtual tools to be incorporated into its syllabus. After investing months of research into students’ needs, learning objectives and user interface experience, they developed a Questionbank platform with interactive video quizzes for its learning management profile. The aim is to enhance learners’ online learning experience, making it easier for them to access IB Super’s proprietary educational materials and make online learning more productive.

With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world shifted online to accommodate various restrictions, and education was no exception. Keeping this in mind, IB Super adapted and changed with the times, adopting brand-new EdTech tools to facilitate virtual learning. One such tool was IB Super’s Questionbank platform, which consists of a large and growing curation of customised content tailored to International Baccalaureate and Integrated Programmes students. Using this platform, students can recall complicated concepts and content relevant to their upcoming examinations. In the past, many students tended to refrain from using questionbanks as keying in their Maths answers online can be difficult and repetitive. IB Super fully understands this pain point and designed a system where students can upload answers written using either electronic or traditional pens. The Questionbank is accessible 24 hours a day, catering to IB Super’s overseas students such as those in China or Europe and Singaporean students temporarily overseas. Students’ past work is stored, allowing them to go back and review past mistakes. Parents are also able to track their children’s performances over time on the platform.

The second Ed-Tech tool IB Super has adopted is interactive online video quizzes. Unlike regular learning videos, students using this tool are able to have a more interactive experience with the videos. For instance, they can pause in the middle of a video to pose and answer questions – which reinforces learning and keeps the learning journey fun and interesting.

With the abundance of Questionbanks available online, IB Super sets itself apart by having thoroughly tested more than 15 platforms from all over the globe, including places like the US, India, and Europe. Plentiful resources were allotted to looking for the optimal platform for Singaporean IB and IP students. An earlier platform adopted, although boasting extensive features, suffered from maintenance and continuity issues. Taking into account user feedback, the current Questionbank is much more accessible, convenient and less intimidating. This is in keeping with IB Super’s belief that great content must be delivered in a fun and meaningful manner, so that learning can be productive.

Even with these new innovations, IB Super is not resting on its laurels. The tuition centre is now looking to expand its virtual learning toolkit with artificial intelligence enabled marking. The aims are to allow students to get feedback more quickly, and for tutors to have more time to teach or go over the questions with their students.IB Super firmly believes in helping its students reach their fullest potential. This is achieved through having a comprehensive syllabus and dedicated teachers that guide their students closely. Now, in addition to a broad range of tuition programmes which include H2 Math tuition, IP Math tuition, IB Economics tuition, and IB Math tuition, IB Super is broadening its horizons with online tutoring and virtual tools like its Questionbank platform and interactive video quizzes – making learning more interesting and enjoyable.
