Faye March Entertainment will bring the Depth Of Time series to life with its upcoming film trilogy. Based in 1918 and a dystopian present-day, Depth of Time centers around Anastasia Romanov and her adventures as her family’s sole survivor of the Bolshevik Revolution.

Following a daring escape from her certain demise, Princess Anastasia is transported through time to a grim, violent 2020 where a brutal dictator keeps the world in a perpetual state of war. Anastasia then assumes the mantle of the daring leader she was meant to be and becomes the inspiration for the underground rebellion.

“We are thrilled to announce this film series,” said FME founder Faye March. “The Anastasia Romanov story has long been the stuff of legends, and we look forward to expanding that lore, in a way that connects with viewers’ hearts and minds.”

The film series has received full financial backing and is currently casting the lead roles. Principal photography in Atlanta and Berlin will commence from June through October 2023, and a simultaneous theatrical/streaming/Blu-ray release is tentatively set for October, 2024.

Grand Rapids-based cannabis company Fluresh announced a new leadership team as a part of the organization's community-focused direction.

‍

Fluresh is a leading, vertically integrated cannabis company that cultivates, processes and sells across Michigan. On Oct. 23, 2020, it became the first dispensary in Grand Rapids to sell recreational marijuana.

‍

New leadership appointments include:

‍

Brandon Kanitz - Chief Executive Officer

Scott Asiala – President

Shoran Williams - General Counsel and Chief Regulatory Officer

Jacob Fein - Chief Financial Officer

Bob Schwartz - Chief Operating Officer

Sarah LaFleur - Vice President of Marketing

Kevin Cleary - Vice President of Sales

Matthew Eastman - Director of Human Resources

Nic Hernandez - Director of Retail

Nathan VanderVen - General Manager of Grand Rapids Operations  

‍

The new, West Michigan-based team comes together with varied and robust backgrounds, from those promoted within Fluresh, those outside the company with extensive experience in cannabis and those new to the industry.

‍

Kanitz, who co-founded Fluresh in 2020, assumed the role of CEO in March 2022. Kanitz founded Thornapple River Capital LLC in October 2015 and was instrumental in raising $125 million in capital to finance Fluresh. He is also the founder and director of Desert Evolution, a vertically integrated Nevada-based cannabis company.

‍

Hernandez, Fluresh Director of Retail, began working in cannabis 12 years ago when the sale of recreational marijuana first became legal in the United States by way of Colorado and Washington. Hernandez oversees all Fluresh's retail operations, including hiring and training staff.

‍

He says that the nature of the industry calls for quick adaptation and thoughtful investment.

‍

"Working one year in cannabis is like working five years in any other industry," he expressed. "Things happen very fast, and we are all learning."

‍

The fast-paced, ever-evolving nature of the cannabis industry required startups to focus on driving revenue while community investment fell to the wayside. As Fluresh expands across the state, the company's new leadership will focus on building relationships and investing resources into the neighborhoods their facilities operate in to drive property value and intentional community development.

‍

"One word to sum it up is an investment," Hernandez said. "Community engagement is going to be a huge focus of ours moving forward. We are trying to dig deep and find ways to improve the lives of all the folks on our team and in our communities. It is really important that we build these relationships and find solutions that work for everyone."

‍

Williams came to Fluresh in March 2022. She believes the new leadership direction allows Fluresh to create standards for how cannabis companies can operate with responsibility and intention to the communities in which they operate.

‍

"The cannabis industry has an opportunity to be a leader in what can happen when private industry cares about the community in which people live, employ and operate, and when companies exercise their power and resources to do the right thing," Williams said.

‍

Hernandez echoes William's sentiments.

‍

"I am very excited about the new leadership and really focusing on getting out into the community and creating these relationships and making a good name for cannabis," Hernandez said. "We are trying to exemplify what could and should be done within this space."fluresh.com

Sustainable multidisciplinary artist Isabel Varela will host her second solo art exhibition, Clothes: Minded and Repurposed, from August 11 - September 23, exposing audiences to the dangers of waste in the fashion industry and how her personal experiences helped shape her position as a passionate environmental activist. Varela has partnered on the event with ChaShaMa, an organization that helps create a more diverse and inclusive world for community-centric artists.

‍

Clothes: Minded and Repurposed is a follow up to Varela's debut solo art exhibit, Clothes: Minded, which ran in 2018 at the Caelum Gallery in NYC. The event featured Varela's work alongside like-minded sustainable artists, working together to captivate the reality of wasteful fashion and what we as a community can do to help improve things. Clothes: Minded and Repurposed will build on her 2018 concept, highlighting fashion industry malpractices and sharing a variety of initiatives people can take to voice their support. The exhibit will feature mixed media pieces centered on these concepts, including: three 10-foot sculptures, one 10-foot x 10-foot sculpture, three 60 x 60 inch mixed media works, and three 40 x 40 inch mixed media paintings.

‍

Varela's main inspiration for the exhibit is her personal experience. She takes this space and opportunity to turn her pain, shame, and guilt into a powerful learning tool for others to help them transform and heal – which, in turn, heals our planet.

Earth Mama Organics, a brand with a mission to Do No Harm to people or the planet, is now Certified Plastic Neutral. The company has partnered with rePurpose Global to fund the recovery of as much nature-bound plastic waste as it uses across its packaging and distribution. This bold commitment by Earth Mama Organics is enabling the removal of over 88,000 lbs. of plastic waste otherwise landfilled, burned, or flushed into the oceans every year.

‍

Through its partnership with rePurpose Global, a coalition of conscious consumers and companies dedicated to reducing waste, the company calculates all the plastic used in Earth Mama's products and operations. We then fund the ethical recovery and processing of an equal amount of plastic waste from our environment. Even better—rePurpose Global focuses on removing "low-value" plastic waste in its calculations, like candy bar wrappers, snack bags, etc., since these plastics are most likely to end up in the environment.

‍

Earth Mama's Plastic Neutral funds help to support Project Sada Shakti in Bangalore, India which recovers an equal amount of plastic waste from the local landscape, while providing waste workers with a livable wage and a dignified working environment. Combined with all the other projects, rePurpose Global community is able to remove over 11 million pounds of plastic waste from the environment annually, and empower 10,000+ marginalized waste workers across the globe.

‍

As a prominent player in the Consumer Packaged Goods sector, Earth Mama recognizes the grave threat that plastic pollution poses to the future of our planet. "We have seen the devastating amount of waste generated every day by our industry, so to us, the urgency of this crisis was impossible to ignore. Our planet needs us and Earth Mama is taking strong strides to do our part." said Earth Mama founder and CEO Melinda Olson. "Our mission has always been to offer our customers safe and effective products while creating a deep impact on society. We truly believe in the power of brands to affect long-lasting change," said Olson.

‍

"Environmental protection is at the core of Earth Mama Organics. It's so refreshing to see them push the boundaries on tackling the plastic waste problem. Forward-thinking brands like Earth Mama are the need of the hour. We hope this pioneering move pushes more brands to take responsibility for their own plastic waste," said Aditya Siroya, co-founder and Chief Impact Officer of rePurpose Global.

PNW-based distillery Doc Swinson's is shaking up the whiskey scene, one new release at a time.

‍

Doc Swinson's is located in Northwest Washington State - and this location, while unusual for the whiskey scene, contributes to their unique processes and finishes: "We're very far outside of the region most people would associate with bourbon, and I think that gives us the space to experiment without the expectation that we follow tradition," states Master Blender Jesse Parker. "The PNW is unique in that it's a pretty good approximation of Scotland's climate. We believe that continuing to age the product in this climate after it's spent some time in the more extreme Midwest (where bourbons are typically from) allows for the flavor profile to mellow out and play together during the blending process."

‍

This unique perspective on the art of whiskey has paid off: Doc Swinson's has recently received a number of high honors, such as Washington State Distiller of the Year by the New York International Spirits Competition; Double Gold and a nomination for Whiskey of the Year at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition; Double Platinum, Best in Category, and Best Independent Bottler by Fred Minnick's ASCOT awards; and Double Gold, Consumers Choice, and Innovation medals from the SIP awards.

‍

"We've been honored to receive their attention," says Jesse Parker. "Part of our goal is to do justice to a traditional industry, while also continually pushing flavor boundaries - so together we can all grow and adapt, bringing more delicious American whiskeys to the world."

‍

To that end, Doc's is releasing 8 new expressions into their highly accoladed Exploratory Cask line this summer. Parker states, "we keep a thumb on the pulse of each point of processing to ensure we bottle the best each batch can be, while also creating innovative flavor combinations along the way."

Ball Family Farms (BFF) today announces the release of the bespoke strain "The Phonzie," created in collaboration with P-Valley star J. Alphonse Nicholson. After being introduced to BFF products, Nicholson found they aided in calming his anxiety, allowing him to remain focused on his acting. The new strain, named for the actor and musician, was exclusively pheno-hunted to incorporate terpenes limonene and caryophyllene, which are associated with calm and relaxation, aimed at easing anxiety and stress. The Phonzie will hit California retail stores later this month.

‍

"I'm a huge fan of sativa-dominate hybrids that still have a slight indica feel. Chris and his team cultivated exactly what I wanted," says J. Alphonse Nicholson. "From the nose to the structure The Phonzie is truly a beautiful strain. Its smooth taste gives you an excellent high that allows you to move throughout your day calm and relaxed, feeling energized and not heavy."

‍

In recent years anxiety has been on the rise, as has prescription abuse, driving some to seek non-traditional forms of stress relief. Nicholson, who has dealt with anxiety his entire life, found respite from the day-to-day grind in Ball Family Farms' terpene-rich cannabis. The Phonzie, a cross between Bruce Leroy and Laura Charles, tastes like Skittles and cream and smells like a fruit basket. This strain gives off relaxed, calm vibes with a bit of energy, allowing you to move throughout your day feeling good. It's very soothing, light, and smooth like the Fonz.

‍

"Without terpenes, you're smoking air," says Chris Ball, CEO of Ball Family Farms. "The terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids; each element is going to give you a different experience. We try and focus on that here at BFF because the entourage effect is more essential than THC alone for a top-tier product."

‍

The family-owned indoor farm is focused on the wellness impact of the plant. The hand-crafted flower is cultivated with meticulous attention to detail with the best possible mix of terpenes and produced in-house to the most precise standards. Its 100% organic cultivation program, recycled natural soil, and sustainable closed-loop system never include synthetics or pesticides.

‍

The Phonzie was crafted with calming anxiety in mind. Still, each person's natural endocannabinoid system is different and will react to cannabis strains differently. Please consume responsibly.

Your home's exterior can say a lot about you and your family while also making a first impression on guests (and potential buyers). Because of the impact curb appeal has on the amount prospective buyers are willing to spend on a home, it's important for homeowners to look beyond simply choosing the right siding color and consider different siding materials and profiles, adding accents like stone veneer and researching other exterior upgrades that can both increase beauty and deliver performance over time.

‍

In fact, exterior remodeling projects typically top the list of projects that add the most resale value to homes. According to Remodeling's 2022 Cost vs. Value Report, nine of the top 10 projects delivering the best return on cost were exterior renovations.

‍

If you're looking to sell or just want to increase the overall value of your home, consider these high-ROI exterior upgrades from the experts at Westlake Royal Building Products that can improve aesthetics and increase resale value.

‍

Front Door

If replacing the front door isn't necessary, adding a fresh coat of paint is a simple way to refresh your home's exterior. You can take your "dated" door and make it modern again with a bold, on-trend color. Take it one step further by adding artistic house numbers, a new light fixture, or a door knocker in an unexpected shape for inexpensive pops of style.

‍

Vinyl Siding

Updating your home's exterior with vinyl siding yields a 67.2% return upon sale, according to the report. When considering new siding, look for high-quality, low-maintenance materials. Depending on where you live, insulated vinyl siding can add additional protection against the elements, as well as increased energy efficiency. While function is important, don't be afraid to make bold choices with color, texture, different profiles, and contrasting trim to make a true statement with your home's exterior.

‍

For example, Westlake Royal Building Products offers a wide range of vinyl siding options in the latest shades, including adding five on-trend colors to its Royal Siding and Exterior Portfolio lines. Inspired by colors found in nature, the gray, blue-gray, brown and green tones reflect the latest trends in modern exterior home design. Both lines feature patented color protection technology to resist fading, which is especially important for darker shades.

‍

Shutters

Adding or replacing shutters is another easy way to add a bit of flair and can be a key finishing touch in creating the perfect exterior. With the potential to play beautifully alongside windows and siding as well architectural style and surrounding landscaping, it's important to make thoughtful choices and install them properly to ensure they look and function as designed.

‍

Composite Decking

Another exterior remodeling project with a high ROI (62.1%), according to the report, is replacing your home's existing wood deck with composite decking. An option like Zuri Premium Decking combines the natural beauty and warmth of exotic hardwood with the durability and low-maintenance requirements of PVC (cellular polyvinyl chloride), which resists stains, scratches, fading, and moisture, for a deck that will last for years with minimal upkeep.

‍

Column Wraps

Give your front porch an instant facelift by wrapping your existing columns with PVC wraps. This is an easy way to achieve a cleaner and more modern, updated look. Resistant to moisture, PVC column wraps prevent issues found in traditional wood columns, such as warping, rotting, and insect damage. Available in a variety of ready-to-install styles, they can also be painted to complement your home's exterior color palette.

YourBio Health, Inc., developers of the world's first painless push-button blood collection device, was identified as a key contributor in the recent preprint published report in medRxiv.  The report describes a trial conducted by Moderna, Inc. and Evidation Health in which YourBio Health enabled the measurement of "Antibody Response Following COVID-19 Boosters During the Omicron Wave in the US: A Decentralized, Digital Health, Real World Study".  In the report, the Moderna authors noted that the combination of digital technology with remote blood collection methodologies may be a "first of its kind to utilize decentralization procedures to assess real world immunogenicity" where "participants collected blood using the YourBio TAP II device."

‍

This novel approach to measuring antibody response to COVID-19 boosters during the Omicron wave in the United States (U.S.) "sets a precedent for greater research access using a digital platform and consumer-directed technology", specifically, Evidation Health's digital health community and The YourBio Health Tap II blood collection device.

‍

"We are thrilled to have been a part of this breakthrough approach of completely decentralized clinical trials.  The on-demand requirements of the trial population showed that we can enroll individuals from any location across the U.S.  Our technology eliminates barriers to blood collection by removing the need to schedule a blood draw and commute to a collection center, and by avoiding the pain and fear from finger sticks and phlebotomy.  In addition to being an alternative to mobile phlebotomy, we can deliver more data across more patients at lower cost." said Harry Wilcox, Executive Chairman and CEO of YourBio Health. "Like Moderna and Evidation Health, we believe a new precedent has been set paving the way to enable more equitable participant enrollment while delivering data in a timely fashion."

Viome Life Sciences, a mission-driven biotechnology company, announces the arrival of its CancerDetect™ test for oral & throat cancer, the first to launch in a series of diagnostic tests in development. This test is the first to detect biomarkers for early-stage oral and throat cancers based on technology that has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. CancerDetect™ is available to individuals at higher risk of developing these cancers, fulfilling an unmet need for advanced, earlier detection when it is most easy to treat. Viome's launch of the CancerDetect™ signifies a promising future for saliva-based, early cancer detection testing with Viome's advanced mRNA technology and AI-powered platform.

‍

CancerDetect™ brings unprecedented accuracy to early cancer detection and prevention as the only oral and throat cancer test to offer detection with 95% specificity and 90% sensitivity. Oral and throat cancer is notoriously difficult to detect. Until now, it can often go undiagnosed until it has reached an advanced stage due to a lack of effective diagnostics tools, leading to low survival rates. Only 28% of patients receive an early diagnosis, and those receiving a late diagnosis face a prolonged battle with oral cancer. (National Library of Medicine). Early detection directly increases the 5-year survival rate for oral cancer patients, from 50% to 84%.  With CancerDetect™, Viome has developed a much-needed aid to detect early-stage cancer, leading to more successful treatment outcomes when confirmed with a biopsy.

‍

"Despite all the innovations across the health landscape, oral and throat cancer has remained life-threatening diseases with few options for early detection," said Naveen Jain, Founder and CEO of Viome Life Sciences. "As an industry leader on a mission to identify and address the roots of chronic disease, we have been working for years to bring to market clinically-backed diagnostics solutions for cancer detection and other life-threatening and debilitating diseases. With the launch of CancerDetect™ for Oral and Throat Cancer, we have achieved this goal and plan to follow this in rapid succession with detection tools for additional life-threatening chronic diseases and cancers."

‍

CancerDetect™ marks the latest addition to Viome's suite of clinically-backed Intelligence™ wellness  tests, including the recently-launched Full Body Intelligence™ Test, the most advanced at-home microbiome test available. Following the success of CancerDetect™ for oral and throat cancer, Viome is focused on enhancing its tests for the spectrum of GI disorders, including cancers.
