Jiaherb’s Rhodiola Rosea Receives CITES Certification
Jiaherb becomes the first ingredient company to receive this certificate due to its ongoing sustainability and environmental efforts.


Rhodiola Rosea

In the field harvesting Rhodiola Rosea Roots

Jiaherb, Inc. announced today that it received its Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) certification for its rhodiola rosea ingredient. Jiaherb is a leading manufacturer of herbal extracts and natural ingredients whose mission is to provide the highest-quality ingredients while offering superior customer service.

CITES protects and regulates plants in international trade so that the commercial demand in the marketplace does not threaten their survival in the wild. CITES certification of rhodiola rosea ensures the ingredient is sustainably traded as well as regulated with positive impacts on the population of its species.  

As a premier manufacturer of natural ingredients, Jiaherb focuses its sustainability efforts through social, economic, and environmental means while guaranteeing customers consistent efficacy and efficiency through traceability 100% of the time. At the forefront of Jiaherb's sustainability efforts, the ingredient supplier adopted rhodiola rosea through the Adopt-an-Herb Program with the American Botanical Council (ABC) in 2017. This effort has allowed the company to stay current with the scientific and clinical research of the ingredient as well as develop a sustainable future to protect rhodiola rosea from overharvesting. As the demand for rhodiola rosea continues to grow in the marketplace, adding a CITES certification protects the herb and strengthens Jiaherb's sustainability efforts as an ingredient supplier.

Jiaherb's cultivates rhodiola rosea to make the product more sustainable and only harvests roots which are more than five years old. Quality and reliable sourcing is a top priority for the company. The company ensures they are using the best quality rhodiola rosea which has more potency and fewer contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides. 

"Having our CITES certification ensures Jiaherb's responsible sourcing and sustainability efforts of rhodiola rosea and allows us to continue to deliver only the very best quality of the ingredient to our customers," says Chris Oesterheld, Executive Vice President. 

This year, in its continuing sustainability efforts, Jiaherb supported the Nature Conservancy, which tackles climate change, protects lands and water, provides food and water, and builds healthy cities.

"Our sustainability efforts and environmental and social responsibility continue to be a top priority for our company. Adding CITES certification to our growing list of sustainability efforts, including adopting rhodiola rosea with the American Botanical Council and supporting the Nature Conservancy, have become part of the core strategy of our company," says Scott Chen, President.

Spiritual Yogi is Launching a New Website Offering More Than Just Yoga

Spiritual Yogi is Launching a New Website Offering More Than Just Yoga

Spiritual Yogi is a yoga company focused on providing more than just yoga. The company is releasing a new website offering the ultimate user-friendly experience with improved navigation and functionality while allowing customers to see the full product portfolio. 

"Our new website will better express the message that yoga provides us with a phenomenal practice that helps us to rise above stress and drama and leads us to find deep peace, gratitude and contentment. The practice trains us to slow down within our own consciousness so that we are able to study our own self on a deeper level. A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is an in-depth self-study practice with incredible spiritual perspective. It will blow your mind wide open in the best way possible and bring a spiritual component to your yoga practice that will take you to a whole other level," said Ginger Dunaway, founder of Spiritual Yogi.

After practicing yoga for years, Dunaway learned about the text, A Course In Miracles (ACIM). ACIM is a unique spiritual self-study program designed to awaken us to the truth of our oneness with God and with each other. As she studied the Course over the next 2 years, she realized how similar it was to the teachings of the Yoga Sutras. Dunaway found that the practice and teachings of yoga and ACIM seemed to perfectly complete each other. 

"My search felt like it was finally over. I had found the missing piece of the puzzle," said Dunaway. 

This was her catalyst to create the Spiritual Yogi brand. Dunaway explains that incorporating both into your practice can have profound benefits.

"The Yoga Sutras and A Course In Miracles both explain that the cause of all of our problems are due to the ego. They give us real workable tools to shift us out of the ego, out of the stress and drama, and lead us to live a life that feels guided, sacred and filled with meaning. When combining these practices, we are led to experience our connection with God and with each other. This feeling is so powerful and so mighty that it will make you cry in joy and gratitude for the opportunity to experience it yet again," said Dunaway.

Dunaway believes that the yoga industry often forgets one core component that is at the heart of this ancient practice and vital to attaining the true goal of yoga. 

"There has to be an element of non-judgmental self-study. Otherwise, the ego wreaks havoc on our minds and emotions. As yoga practitioners and teachers, we need to make sure we are dedicating the time to this important aspect of the practice so that our own egos don't get in the way. What I love about A Course In Miracles is that it is a self-study program that can stand up to the manipulative nature of the ego. And even more importantly, it helps us find the grace to forgive ourselves and others when we find ourselves acting and reacting from ego yet again. When we combine these two phenomenal practices we get one of the most transformational tools on the planet," said Dunaway.

Spiritual Yogi provides guided meditations, yoga vignettes, books and e-courses. It's available for purchase on the website spiritual-yogi.com.

Clayface: Mike Flanagan has pitched a DC villain film to the studio as a tragic horror monster mash

Clayface: Mike Flanagan has pitched a DC villain film to the studio as a tragic horror monster mash

Mike Flanagan pitched a standalone Clayface movie to DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran that would focus on tragedy and horror.

This report is not a drill! According to Deadline, Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill HouseDoctor Sleep) has pitched a horror-centric creature feature about the classic DC villain Clayface! Before I explode from thinking about the possibilities (Clayface is among my top villains in comics), the project has not yet been given the green light… yet. To be clear, the studio has not said “No,” but there have been no offers or deals for the project. If DC approves the project, Clayface will be a villain—none of the villain-becomes-hero nonsense.

Deadline says Flanagan and his Intrepid Pictures partner Trevor Macy had a meeting with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. The outlet says Flanagan wasn’t pitching the villain as a part of Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel. However, Deadline also says scripts are constantly in flux, and Clayface is “a big addition to The Batman 2.” I wouldn’t cash that check yet, folks. Wait for the mud to settle before you shout Clayface’s name atop a Gotham City gargoyle statue.

Clayface’s story is quite tragic, and his ability to shift into any person or mold his body into any weapon makes him a formidable foe and then some. While the concept might not be as “grounded” as Phillips’ idea for the Clown Prince of Crime (Joker), I think someone who’s far more clever than me could work up a great story featuring the clay-covered character.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2mFL4bWHJE

In 2019, Dave Bautista said he’d love to play Clayface in a movie for DC Studios. Bautista expressed interest in playing the Matt Hagen version of Clayface. Matt Hagen is the second person to arrive as Clayface in the DC’s comic book universe. The original Clayface went by the name of Basil Karlo, who, before becoming the monster we all know and fear, worked as a mediocre actor who his casting director once told that he wasn’t good enough to get a substantial role. Looking for an edge, Karlo turned to the crime boss Penguin for help. The Penguin offered Basil a hunk of mystical clay, which he claimed would solve Karlo’s acting problems, in exchange for the actor’s services as a henchman. Basil agreed and received his unique powers when the clay leaped on him, entered his bloodstream, and rewrote the fabric of his body. (via DC Wikia)

As for the Matt Hagen version: Matthew Hagen was scuba diving for sunken treasure when he found a mysterious pool of protoplasm in a cave. Immersing himself in it by accident, he was transformed into a malleable clay-like form that could morph into almost anything he desired. However, this effect was temporary, requiring him to return to the pool periodically to maintain the use of his powers. This weakness allowed Batman to capture and arrest Hagen. Shortly after, Hagen broke out of prison and decided to investigate the protoplasmic substance that transformed him into Clayface. In the meantime, Clayface impersonated wealthy men in Gotham City, allowing him to learn about his criminal activities. (via DC Wikia)

In the past, Flanagan has said his version of Clayface would be a standalone horror thriller with a tragic character at the center. I’ve never wanted anything more from a comic book movie. Make this happen, DC! If you love me at all, you’ll give Flanagan a chance to make this incredible idea a reality.

Remote Monitoring and Teledentistry App In Hand Dental Enters Into Referral Agreement With Ezcad Dental Lab, Expands Platform to Include Spanish
Ezcad Dental Lab, a full-range dental laboratory service located in Aguada, Puerto Rico, will use the In Hand Dental platform to add strategic value to its Ezclear Aligner product line.


In Hand Dental Remote Monitoring App

Remote Monitoring and Teledentistry App In Hand Dental Enters Into Referral Agreement With Ezcad Dental Lab

In Hand Dental, a remote monitoring app and complete teledentistry platform used by dentists and orthodontists, is expanding by entering into a referral agreement with Ezcad Dental Lab. In Hand Dental will also add support for the In Hand Dental Patient App to operate in Spanish, a move designed to help both patients inside and outside the United States. 

Ezcad Dental Lab understands the particular challenges dental providers face. "We are excited about the partnership of Ezcad Dental Lab and In Hand Dental, because both organizations share the same mission of using technology and resources to improve operational performance and profitability, providing for superior outcomes and an elevated patient experience," states Ezcad Dental Lab owner and CEO John Collins. "Pairing the In Hand Dental solutions with our Easyclear Aligners product line will provide a unique and powerful solution for our providers."

Ezcad selected the option of having its own branded app to promote its EasyClear Aligners, which is unique to the In Hand Dental service model. In Hand Dental can build and create a branded app for either a B2B or B2C business model, and the intention is to bundle the In Hand Dental app in with all sales of aligners. This model creates the opportunity for the practice to track lead generation, and separate its brand from the competition.

In Hand Dental CEO and founder Michael Gassman commented on the partnership. "We are excited to partner with Ezcad Dental Lab and their Easyclear Aligners solution, the dominant and strategic aligner manufacturer for the Puerto Rican market. Integrating our In Hand Dental platform and workflow with their superior product line provides a tremendous value add for their aligner customers."

On the release of new features, Gassman says, "We are also rolling out a customized Dental Essentials provider app and a new version of our patient app that incorporates Spanish-language support as we serve our growing list of international customers."    

About Ezcad Dental Lab

Ezcad Dental Lab is a full-range dental laboratory service located in Aguada, Puerto Rico. Its partner dental technicians are fully trained in today's state-of-the-art dental fabrications, from simple crowns to complicated full-mouth reconstructions.

The Night Agent renewed for season 2 by Netflix

The Night Agent renewed for season 2 by Netflix

Netflix has renewed The Night Agent for a second season, after the spy thriller series from Shawn Ryan debuted in the #1 English TV spot.

Netflix announced today that they have renewed The Night Agent for a second season consisting of ten episodes. The spy thriller premiered last week and quickly rose to take the #1 spot on the English TV list with 168.71 million hours viewed.

Based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, The Night Agent is “a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.” The series stars Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, D.B. Woodside, Eve Harlow, Sarah Desjardins, and more.

In a statement, The Night Agent creator and showrunner Shawn Ryan said: “The last week has been a whirlwind as we’ve finally been able to share The Night Agent with the world. To see the tremendous reaction to the show has been a great joy and is a credit to our cast, our writers, our directors, our crew and our partners at Sony Pictures Television and Netflix. We couldn’t be any prouder or more excited to get cracking on Season 2 to share the further adventures of Night Action with our newfound fans.” Jinny Howe, Netflix’s VP of Drama Series, added, “We’re proud to see The Night Agent deliver a breakout performance and become instantly embraced around the world. Shawn Ryan has created a spy thriller sensation that viewers cannot get enough of, with a stellar cast featuring Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan and Hong Chau, and we’re here to bring them more of the action and suspense they love.

While many people obviously tuned in for The Night Agent, our own Alex Maidy wasn’t a fan. “Despite solid chemistry from the leads and a couple of surprising supporting performances, The Night Agent is a ploddingly dull series that fails to capitalize on the talented actors on screen by placing them into a predictable and overlong origin story that could have worked better as a feature film,” Maidy wrote in his review of the series.

If you’ve watched The Night Agent on Netflix, what are you hoping to see in season 2 now that the series has been renewed?

Thaw: Lee Cronin, the director of Evil Dead Rise, sets a follow-up

Director Lee Cronin is riding high off the great reviews he’s getting for Evil Dead Rise, and now it looks like he’s got another horror flick set to go at New Line, with them setting up another movie for the director called The Thaw. According to THR, the film is “set years after the polar ice caps have melted and the sea levels have risen, the story centers on a group of survivors at sea searching for a new home. Their prayers are answered with the discovery of an inhabitable town until, that is, they encounter a new nightmare living just below the water’s surface.” The writer, Jeremy Passmore, has a writing credit on New Line’s San Andreas, as well as the Red Dawn remake from 2012.

Cronin’s hiring proves that WB, which owns New Line, is high on the director following his turn at the helm of Evil Dead Rise. Our own Jessica Dwyer caught it recently and loved it so much that she gave it a 9/10 review. Initially, the film was set as an HBO Max debut but was so good that the studio opted to give it a big screen release, with it set to hit theaters on April 21st.

As per Jessica’s review:

“This is the type of movie you should watch with an audience of fellow horror fans who will get every in joke and who will scream and applaud at every gory moment right along with you.  Oh, and it’s the first horror film in say…30 years to give me a nightmare where I woke up yelling for my mom.  And once you see the movie you’ll wonder why the hell I was doing that because you really should be running away from mommy… she’s with the maggots now.”

Yikes. Evil Dead Rises hits theaters April 21st, but will you be checking it out? Let us know in the comments!
