Legendary Wrestling Alliance Launches Exciting New eWrestling Show: 'All That Glitters'
Legendary Wrestling Alliance, a wrestling promotion known as "The Alliance where the Elite compete," has announced the launch of a new eWrestling show, All That Glitters. The show is designed to bring together eWrestlers from various eFederations to compete for the Legendary title. In addition, there will be a tournament for the LWA Valkyrie title, the Women's Division title. All matches will be hand-typed to create the feeling of a live televised event.
All That Glitters is the second show of the year for the LWA, which hosts four to five shows each year for member feds to participate in at their convenience. The service will be available to customers in Champaign starting May 22nd.
The event will take place in a Walmart store, rather than a sports arena, adding a new level of excitement and unpredictability to the show. "Chaos is bound to happen," said Allen Anderson, Alliance Fed Head of Legendary Wrestling Alliance.
"We are incredibly excited to have the All That Glitters women's tournament for the Valkyrie title, allowing our newest member fed, Miracle Galaxy Pro, to participate fully. The sixteen-woman Valkyrie tournament is just the beginning, as we move on to the Escape from Walmart match, which will determine the winner of the Legendary title. Men and women can compete in this match, with the winner being the first to escape through the Grocery door exit. No other doors will count," Anderson added.
All That Glitters promises to be a thrilling and innovative eWrestling show, with the LWA pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of online wrestling entertainment. The show will be exclusively available to customers in Champaign starting May 22nd, and fans can expect to see some of the best eWrestlers from around the world competing for glory.

opsi, a Workflow App for Chefs, Accepted into the Beta Cohort Spring 2023
Opsi is One of Only Twenty Tech Companies Selected to Accelerator Program
opsi, a new workflow app for chefs, is one of only twenty companies selected for the BETA Cohort Spring 2023. The Minnesota-based accelerator program is in its 10th year and serves the state's early-stage technology startups with mentoring, networking, and training over four months leading up to a BETA Showcase on April 13, 2023.
Says opsi Co-Founder Matt Luckey, “We are honored to be included alongside these incredible Minnesota tech companies. We’re excited to be part of this cohort and look forward to where opsi will be in four months after this program.”
Opsi was started by Luckey, who has a background in product design, and his childhood friend, James Passafaro, a restaurant industry veteran with over 15 years of experience as a chef. The two combined forces with the idea to centralize workflows in the kitchen and maximize efficiency in what can often be a hectic work environment. Passafaro knew the solution needed to come from someone directly involved with the problem at hand.
“Who better to help develop the technology than the people that will be using it every day?” says Passafaro “Opsi is a kitchen management system and workflow application, made for chefs by chefs, to streamline day-to-day operations, do away with paper and document clutter, and reduce costs and labor.”
With Luckey on the design and product side, Passafaro implemented the early stages of opsi into the restaurant kitchens in which he worked as a chef. With direct hands-on experience using the application in the setting for which it was designed, opsi developed into a kitchen tool that streamlines recipe book management, task lists, ordering and communication.
Says Passafaro, “We went through all the trial and error and growing pains with opsi, so other kitchens don’t have to. This was the importance of the application being created by chefs. We wanted to experience the pains that might arise during development and address them so opsi operates as intended, and truly increases efficiency, consistency, and overall communication in kitchens.”
During the BETA Cohort Spring 2023, Luckey and Passafaro have the opportunity to demonstrate opsi’s capabilities in front of fellow tech startups, tech enthusiasts, reporters, and investors during the BETA Showcase on April 13, 2023 in Minneapolis.
The opsi media kit can be found here.

Why Environmentally Sustainable Business-Model Franchising is Relevant
American-style franchising techniques that have been implemented so successfully globally can also be applied to companies providing environmentally sustainable products and services. We are beginning to see the social sector franchising concept being adopted in U.S. communities and in countries around the world.
Environmental franchises can quite literally help you see the green. Powered by demand for a clean and healthy living environment, environmental franchises represent a great franchise opportunity with services that will be in demand for all-time.
Our premise is that the demand for a clean and healthy living environment will create an unprecedented opportunity for both small and large businesses.
Some franchise industry segments offer a very narrow range of services. However, the environmental franchise industry is not one of them. As you might imagine, the kinds of franchise opportunities in this industry cover a broad spectrum.
- Some industries lend themselves to easy transitions for new business owners and some do not. The environmental industry requires specific expertise as well as detailed knowledge about environmental laws and regulations. Franchising makes sense for new environmental business owners because it provides support and training that simply are not an option for non-franchised businesses.
- The environmental services industry is replete with technical and scientific terminology. While it helps to have a scientific background, a lack of technical and scientific expertise is not a deal-breaker.
Although franchising is an important form of entrepreneurship, prior research has mainly discussed the entrepreneurial role of franchising for the economic development of a country. Most previous research has focused on the impact of franchising on the growth of GDP, employment, business skills, entrepreneurial capabilities, innovation and technology transfer (Kaufmann and Leibenstein, 1988; Stanworth et al., 2003; Christensen et al., 2010; Fredriks and Pennink, 2014). Few studies have analyzed the influence of franchising on specific aspects of the social, institutional, and infrastructural development of a country. Alon and Banai (2000) and Alon (2004, 2006) argue that international franchisors may help to improve the institutional and physical infrastructure and have a positive impact on social development by improving the standard of living and education. Recently, studies on social and micro-franchising (Montague, 2002; Alon et al., 2010; Du Toit, 2017; Naatu and Alon, 2019; Bretos et al., 2020; Naatu et al., 2020) show that the franchisor seeks to achieve social goals by using the format of commercial franchising.
Social and micro-franchise networks may positively influence the social development of a country by improving healthcare services and alleviating poverty (e.g., Fairbourne et al., 2007).
Social sector franchised businesses are primarily developed to offer products and services that the world needs to improve living conditions, such as healthcare, safe drinking water, sanitation, clean renewable energy, and education. Often, these are social enterprise companies whose creation is targeted to achieve goals such as those set in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations: https://sdgs.un.org/goals/.

Law School Students Should Consider Practicing Environmental Law
Recent years' events reflect environmental law is a rapidly evolving area of legal practice. It has traditionally been thought of as an area of law that encompasses the two broad categories of regulation of pollutants and natural resource conservation/ allocation. However, it also touches on energy, agriculture, real estate, and land use, and has expanded to include international environmental governance, corporate law, international trade, environmental justice, sustainable growth and development, food law, and climate change. Environmental law practice often requires extensive knowledge of administrative law as well as aspects of tort law, property law, legislation, constitutional law, and land use law.
Environmental lawyers generally practice one or more of the following kinds of law: regulatory, transactional, litigation, or public policy advocacy. Regulatory lawyers help draft environmental legislation and regulations relating, for example, to waste cleanup, air quality, water quality, coastline management, land use, and other protective measures; they also take part in site inspections, advise clients on compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and provide representation in administrative and rulemaking proceedings related to the development and implementation of environmental policies and procedures. Transactional attorneys help identify the environmental and land use issues involved in a variety of transactions, including the purchases and sale of property and businesses; they often draft agreements, engage in negotiations, assess the costs and risks of decisions that impact the environment or implicate environmental law, and help clients develop solutions to environmental problems that could affect business transactions. Litigating attorneys bring cases on behalf of individuals, groups, or government entities to enforce environmental laws and regulations; they also litigate with insurance carriers for coverage of environmental liabilities and defend against agency enforcement actions as well as toxic tort lawsuits. Other environmental attorneys work at many levels to influence the development of public policy—sometimes focusing on specific issues in an area of the environment, like species protection or water pollution prevention and sometimes focusing on broader issues like sustainable strategies (a set of actionable steps that a company takes to improve their impact on the community and the environment), alternative energy sources, or green initiatives; they frequently engage in organizing and lobbying to affect policy.
Environmental law attracts lawyers who are interested in how we impact the geology and biodiversity of our planet. Environmental law practitioners perform a wide variety of functions, often helping to shape governmental and corporate policies and actions on a national and international level. Since federal statutes drive much of environmental law in the U.S., attorneys often work for or with administrative bodies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, and their state-level equivalents. However, environmental lawyers also work for nonprofit organizations, private law firms, and corporations; many environmental attorneys work in several of these settings during the course of their careers.
For those considering an environmental law career, here are seven facts legal experts say you should know about this field:
-
You don't need an undergraduate degree in science. Experts say aspiring lawyers who had humanities majors in college shouldn't be discouraged from pursuing environmental law careers.
-
Environmental attorneys aren't always businesses' adversaries. Although environmental attorneys who work for public interest organizations often file lawsuits against companies that violate environmental protection regulations, other environmental attorneys represent regulated companies.
-
Legal assignments will vary. Sahana Rao, an associate at Sive, Paget & Riesel P.C., says she enjoys the fact that she does both litigation work and regulatory practice.
-
Protocol is critical. Rao says one aspect of environmental law that some people find frustrating is the many documentation requirements. Companies that follow environmental protection regulations but fail to file proper paperwork can get in trouble. "Good intentions don’t always get you brownie points in environmental law," she says. "There are certain protocols you have to follow and certain records you have to keep, and that’s just the way it is."
-
Law schools without a formal program can still provide high-quality courses. Though aspiring environmental lawyers should take courses in environmental law, it isn't critical for them to attend a law school with an official concentration in this discipline, Rao says. "There are several law schools that have great environmental law programs," she says, "but there are also law schools that are just excellent law schools that have great environmental law classes.”
-
Diverse skills are important for employability. Experts warn that the ebb and flow of environmental regulation enforcement means the demand for environmental attorneys changes depending on the political climate. Rao says it is prudent for aspiring environmental attorneys to diversify their legal skill set into related fields such as real estate law and government relations. Gaining a broad range of legal skills, Rao says, will make aspiring attorneys more marketable and reduce their chances of being underemployed.
-
Law school clinics can provide a solid foundation for an environmental law career. Rao, the NYU alumna, says an environmental law clinic can help students gain valuable introductions to potential career mentors and decide whether this type of legal work is right for them.

Serotonin Centers to Open Four New Franchise Locations in Northern Virginia
Marine Corps Veteran and Multi-Unit Operator Brian Weinstein to Bring Anti-Aging Franchise to Loudoun County.
Serotonin Centers, an emerging anti-aging/longevity franchise that is rapidly expanding nationwide, has secured an agreement to develop four franchise locations in Northern Virginia. While the Serotonin Centers site selection team is looking into potential sites throughout Loudoun and Fairfax County, the company has identified Sterling, Ashburn, Great Falls, and Reston as prime markets for the new franchise locations.
The new Serotonin Centers franchises will be operated by Brian Weinstein, a Marine Corps veteran who brings years of business operations experience as the owner of two successful senior home-care franchises. Weinstein said he is excited to expand his franchise brand portfolio with the addition of Serotonin Centers – the nation's first franchise brand to enter the anti-aging and hormone treatment space. With a tiered membership model, Serotonin Centers offers a lineup of next-level wellness and longevity treatment options, including cutting-edge hormone restoration, aesthetic enhancement, weight management, immunity recovery treatments and much more.
"Much in the same way that my senior-care businesses exist to improve quality of life, owning multiple Serotonin Centers franchises gives me an opportunity to extend that mission in a different way to a wider demographic of people," Weinstein said. "Serotonin's anti-aging products and services empower people to live longer, quality lives. I'm incredibly excited to be entering this booming niche of the health market through my investment in Serotonin Centers."
Eric Casaburi, founder and CEO of Serotonin Centers, said Weinstein is ideally suited as a multi-unit owner of the fast-growth franchise.
"Having owned and operated successful franchises with a passion for helping others achieve optimal health, Brian is a perfect fit for Serotonin Centers," Casaburi said. "These are the types of qualities we are seeking in entrepreneurs around the country to invest in our groundbreaking anti-aging brand."
Since opening its first location in Windermere, FL and then launching the franchise opportunity in 2021, Serotonin Centers has attracted interest from entrepreneurs around the country. The brand has already signed seven multi-unit development agreements for 43 new franchise locations, extending across the East Coast from Orlando and Southwest Florida, to Central New Jersey, Nashville, Southeast and Northern Virginia and Boston.

We wish them great success in their new location and look forward to working together to create meaningful change here in the District.”
“The support we’ve seen already has made us even more excited to give back to the neighborhood,” said Kirk Francis. “We’re starting things right by benefitting DC Central Kitchen, and we have other fundraisers for local organizations in the works. We’re serious about making Cleveland Park (and DC) better every day, and for us that means awesome cookies, a great customer experience, and giving back to the community.”
“We’re really looking forward to having a permanent, meaningful presence in the Cleveland Park neighborhood,” said Juliann Francis. “These long months of construction and permitting have shown us what great neighbors we have in this location, with so many people reaching out to share their excitement and support. This area clearly understands the importance of neighbors helping neighbors, and we’re glad to be a contributing part of that cycle—small business has such an important part to play in building community.”
"It's great to celebrate the remarkable resilience exhibited by Captain Cookie & the Milk Man as they open their newest store in Cleveland Park, even in the face of post-COVID challenges," said Shawn Townsend, President and CEO of the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington. Shawn added, "Their commitment to quality, customer experience, and investment in their team embody a steadfast dedication to fostering community and fueling local economic growth."
Attendees are welcome to join the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 AM and have a chance to win free merchandise and treats by spinning Captain Cookie’s “Wheel of Fun.” The store is located at 3411 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008, with regular hours from 10 AM to 10 PM daily.
Painting the Spirit of Captain Cookie’s Mission
The fun mural at the Cleveland Park store was painted by the talented team at Capital Murals. It captures the spirit of Captain Cookie's mission and features Captain Cookie flying with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk, symbolizing the company’s dedication to "Saving the World, One Cookie at a Time."
S’mores & More: A Captain Cookie Adventure
To celebrate the start of the fall season, patrons can try Captain Cookie's new s'mores cookies. It’s all the good parts of a campfire without getting smoke in your face: toasted graham crackers, chewy marshmallows, and velvety milk chocolate.
Alongside the tempting new special, there’s a cookie for everyone. Customers can indulge in the classic chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, double chocolate, confetti, peanut butter, and more. Captain Cookie also makes a serious offering for their vegan customers: a chocolate chip cookie using house-made vegan butter that is sure to please.

The Safe Sports School Award recognizes secondary schools all over the country that go above and beyond to keep their athletes safe and free from injuries. JAG-ONE Physical Therapy worked with Daniel Cabral, head athletic trainer at Manville High School, to help Manville schools meet the criteria needed to be selected for this award. NATA has a list of requirements all athletic programs must adhere to in order to receive safe sports school status. Some of these requirements center around athletic injuries such as providing pre-participation physical examinations, developing injury and illness prevention strategies, and providing injury intervention. Other requirements focus more on the school's equipment and facilities, requiring they promote safe and appropriate practice and competition facilities, plan for proper selection and maintenance of athletic equipment, and provide an appropriately equipped area to evaluate and treat injured athletes.
“It is an honor to be awarded 1st Team NATA Safe Sports School! I am grateful for the recognition and the support from my Athletic Director Steve Venuto and Superintendent Jamil Maroun,” said Daniel Cabral, LAT, ATC, head athletic trainer at Manville High School.
NATA also requires that schools follow appropriate procedures including having a positive athletic healthcare administrative system and regularly rehearsing a venue-specific emergency action plan. NATA also looks at education and requires that the school provides psycho-social consultations, nutrition counseling/education, and makes sure athletes and parents are educated about the potential benefits and risks in sports as well as their responsibilities.
“JAG-ONE strives for all of our exclusive secondary school Athletic Training partnerships to attain and maintain all standards set forth by the NATA Safe Sports School initiative,” says Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS, senior director of athletic training for JAG-ONE Physical Therapy. “We are excited for Manville to join the ranks of our other Safe Sports partnerships, Bound Brook School District and Somerset County Vo-Tech!”
“JAG-ONE is proud to be partnered with Manville public schools,” says John Gallucci Jr., CEO of JAG-ONE Physical Therapy. “We are dedicated to helping schools further develop their athletic training programs and become safe sports schools.”
