Northwestern Mutual:It's never too early to start saving for college, and grandparents can play a significant role in helping to make college more affordable for their grandchildren. There are a few different ways that grandparents can help with college savings. Each option has its advantages, so it's important to research and figure out which one makes the most sense for your situation. Let's look at a few:
Open a savings or investment account
Grandparents can start saving for college early by opening a savings or investment account on their grandchild's behalf. This could include a tax-advantaged 529 college savings plan, which allows the grandparent, the account owner, to make investments on their grandchild's behalf. Other grandparents may find something like a Coverdell education savings account or even a UTMA or UGMA custodial account works better for their needs. Whether grandparents choose a custodial account, 529 plan, or something else, it's important to research the specifics, as these accounts come with different restrictions and tax advantages.
Paying some of the tuition directly
Most college students rely on some form of financial aid to help pay for their education. Scholarships, grants, and loans are all popular sources of funding, but there is another way to get help with tuition costs: grandparents can contribute directly. By paying some or all of the tuition, grandparents can have a major impact on a student's ability to attend college.
There are a few things to keep in mind if you're thinking about making tuition payments for your grandchild. First, be sure to communicate with your grandchild about their educational goals and what they're hoping to accomplish in college. You don't want them to make any promises that they can't keep or that will put undue pressure on them. Second, be realistic about your own financial situation. You may be able to cover a semester's worth of tuition, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to pay for four years of college. Finally, remember that there are other ways to help your grandchild succeed in college besides writing a check. You can offer moral support, advice, and encouragement every step of the way.
Co-sign for loans
College is an expensive investment, and many students rely on loans to help cover the cost of tuition and other expenses. Grandparents can help their grandchildren meet this financial obligation by co-signing for a private student loan. This can give the student access to a lower interest rate and more flexible repayment terms. However, it is important to remember that the grandparent is legally responsible for the loan if the student defaults. As a result, grandparents should only co-sign for a loan if they are confident that their grandchild will be able to make the payments. Otherwise, they could end up damaging their own credit score and putting their financial future at risk.

VALDOSTA, Ga. - December 22, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Wakefield BioChar, an innovative manufacturer of renewable products made from wood biomass, has successfully completed a rigorous certification process conducted by the Puro Standard, the leading carbon crediting program for carbon removal, to verify its biochar as a carbon removal tool. Wakefield BioChar is now certified to sell digital tradable assets called CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) in the carbon markets under an agreement with Puro.earth. This certification represents a major milestone as Wakefield BioChar has become the largest capacity biochar-based CORC supplier in the U.S.
The Puro.earth certification is a rigorous verification process that confirmed Wakefield's biochar is truly carbon net-negative and complies with Puro Standard's methodology requirements, including environmental safeguards. Independent assessors audited Wakefield BioChar's production and distribution to validate the accuracy of the company's data. The audit considers product lifecycle, requires scientific measurement and quantification of the removed CO2, and its duration of storage. The verified volume of extra carbon absorbed in the biochar is then issued CORCs for every metric ton of CO2 removed and stored.
"The confirmation of Wakefield's impact on our environment through the LCA managed by Accend is wholly critical to our vision of creating a better world," said Tony Marrero, CEO of Wakefield BioChar. "We are proud to utilize FSC Certified pre-consumer wood waste, which otherwise creates a significant environmental liability, to create beneficial soil health amendments, filtration and remediation solutions. The undeniable value of creating better soil for agriculture and improving the health of our society for generations to come energizes the Wakefield team to reach its massive potential. We are thankful for Puro.earth's partnership to share this story with its climate-positive Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) commodity."
"Biochar is recognized in the IPCC report as a route to terrestrial carbon storage. Puro.earth is glad to welcome Wakefield BioChar to offer its CORCs to responsible corporations that want to remove their carbon emissions. The large volume of CORCs increases much-needed supply in the carbon markets," said Marianne Tikkanen, Head of Carbon Crediting Program at Puro.earth.
Wakefield BioChar's wood-based biochar captures carbon through a pyrolysis production method that creates a stable carbon storage solution. When incorporated into soil, biochar will not decompose for 100s of years. This stable soil conditioner elevates the soil health for generations of farmers, growers and backyard gardens. Biochar's direct benefits to the soil include nutrient retention, improved water-holding capacity, and increased aeration.
Puro.earth is the world's leading carbon crediting platform for carbon removal. Puro.earth provides carbon removal as a service, helping corporate buyers create a long-term procurement portfolio to neutralize their carbon footprint and reach net zero. The Puro Standard focuses solely on verified net-negative technologies that can remove carbon at an industrial scale and store it for a minimum of 100 years. In 2021, Nasdaq announced its acquisition of a majority stake in Puro.earth.
About Wakefield BioChar Wakefield BioChar, based in Valdosta, GA, knows that a better garden starts with better, healthier soil. Too many treatments and chemicals deplete nutrients and degrade soil quality over time. And sadly, many traditional treatments have unintended consequences for our planet. That's why so many gardeners weed, water, and fertilize, but still don't get the results they want. With Wakefield soil conditioners, you will increase microbial activity and absorb water and nitrogen to improve your soil health. And, biochar returns carbon to the earth, reducing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere! Better Soil. Better World. https://www.wakefieldbiochar.com
About Puro.earth Puro.earth is the world's leading carbon crediting platform for carbon removal. Our mission is to mobilize the economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions. We do this by helping voluntary corporate buyers accelerate carbon dioxide removal at an industrial global scale. Through the Puro Standard, we create carbon credit methodologies for processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for at least 100 years. We then certify suppliers that run those processes and issue digital tradable CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) into the public Puro Registry per metric ton of carbon dioxide removed. CORCs are then purchased directly from suppliers or via sales channel partners by ambitious corporations, like our customers Microsoft, Shopify, and Zurich Insurance, to help reverse climate change and neutralize their residual carbon emissions. With Puro Accelerate, our program to scale the carbon removal ecosystem, we assist suppliers who require financing to launch or expand operations to secure funding through CORC advance market commitments and prepayments. In 2021, Nasdaq acquired a majority stake in Puro.earth, and together, we are driving forward the carbon removal industry, enabling new revenue streams to accelerate its growth.

With Mansion Invest, Mansion turns its members (its guests) into real estate investors & owners by allowing them to invest in the same homes they can book.
MansionLife.com Announces Mansion Invest With Mansion Invest, retail and institutional investors can tap into Mansion's valuable real estate portfolio in an accessible and scalable way.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - December 22, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Today, Mansion Group Inc., a Charlotte-based startup founded by investor & retired Red Ventures Chief Digital Officer John Sutton, has come out of stealth mode and announced the development and coming launch of Mansion Invest, the industry's first vertically integrated, fractional single-family home rental real estate investment platform. Invest transforms Mansion's customers into partial property owners by enabling them to own a share of the inspiring homes they can book across the Mansion network.
Mansion will leverage the Mansion Invest platform to expand its network of inspired, flexible, single-family rental homes across the U.S. Through this new platform, Mansion will more than 5x the number of rental homes available to its members by the end of 2023, positioning Mansion to enable its members to seamlessly move across its network of homes as they embark on the next step in their nomadic journeys.
With Mansion Invest, retail and institutional investors can tap into Mansion's valuable real estate portfolio in an accessible and scalable way. Luxury short-term rental homes offer attractive fundamentals, including regularly generated revenue from guest bookings and single-family homes' stability and appreciation profile. Mansion Invest shareholders will have the potential to earn dividend-yielding-passive income with 4% - 8% targeted annual dividends for most offerings, deposited every quarter, PLUS share in any home appreciation in the event of a sale and the tax benefits that come with REIT taxation for most offerings.
The launch of Mansion Invest comes at a moment when investors are increasingly looking to diversify their portfolios after continued public market losses throughout 2022. While the demand to invest in single-family homes remains high due to their stability and appreciation, the soaring interest rates have made the asset class increasingly out of reach for many investors.
"Mansion Invest provides a truly unique investment experience that allows retail investors to make real estate investment decisions in ways similar to how they shop for their own dream homes, hopefully, one that can also create tremendous value for them over time. Unlike others in the category, Mansion Invest will provide access to single-family real estate investments for all retail investors, not just high net-worth accredited investors. By creating an experience that provides them the choice of which homes to become an owner/shareholder in," said John Sutton, Founder of Mansion Group and its primary investor, "Mansion will enable the everyday investor to invest in homes and communities they believe in. We're creating something extraordinary for neighborhoods that can bring the pride of homeownership to the home rental space, something missing from most REITs. Combine this aspect with the ability for our investors to stay in the homes they invest in or allow their friends and family to book easily in the Mansion app, and you create a new class of SFR rentals that are more connected to the spirit of the community and those that live in it."
Mansion Group is working to build tomorrow's single-family rental experience for guests and investors. John Sutton & his co-founders/early investors have invested over $2MM to build the business without traditional venture capital, far less than their peers, reflecting a focus on ensuring the development of a sustainable, long-term business. Mansion has worked tirelessly over the past three years to develop the operational expertise to ensure an excellent guest experience, which leads to outstanding performance for investors in the homes on the Mansion platform. Mansion Group stands out in the fast-growing tech-enabled single-family rental space by vertically integrating and owning 100% of the homes on the platform, essential to providing uncompromising hospitality, next-generation intelligent home technology, and a consistent experience across a wide range of locations in addition to enabling Mansion to provide the platform for retail investors to become owners of the single-family rentals on Mansion.
With over 1,900+ stays managed since launching in early 2019, Mansion Group has experience in the complex single-family rental space unmatched by most tech startups; and experience that has delivered consistently great customers reviews, many of whom highlight "hospitality, quality of the design, and excellent attention to detail" as top reasons for choosing Mansion properties over alternative homes on platforms like Airbnb. Through the Mansion Life app, consumers can book a home with inspiring designs (furnished by the in-house furniture & interior design brand MansionDistrict.com), exceptional amenities, high-quality beds, hotel-grade cleaning, and 24/7 concierge services.
Mansion Group, which began as a real estate investment company and has become a leader in using AI-powered analytics to identify investment homes, owns and operates numerous properties across Charlotte, NC. The company acquired these properties after evaluating them using Mansion's proprietary AI+Human platform, "TheButler," which analyzes thousands of data points such as recent sales, Average Daily Rates of competitors, nearby hotel occupancy, walkability, historical appreciation, submitted development permits, and more to identify target investment homes. By early 2023, Mansion plans to more than double its rental investment properties by expanding into new high-demand cities in the southeast U.S.
The next generation of companies are ones where users are transformed into owners. Introducing ownership to the Mansion platform unlocks access to wealth creation for the average investor and a more significant affinity for the Mansion member experience. In tandem, Mansion opens location expansion, which results in more growth and opportunities for people to enjoy the home rental experience of the future.
Mansion Invest is currently in closed BETA as Mansion works alongside its FINRA-registered Broker Dealer Dalmore Group to register the offering with the SEC, but interested investors can join the waitlist at MansionLife.com; waitlist slots are limited. Questions can be directed to [email protected].

Candyoni Maison is bringing honesty, humor, and eroticism back to the boudoir with the launch of their Luxury Erotic Lickable Oils.
Just in time for the New Year, the straight-talking edible oïl company has created a massive, exciting range of lickable oils, with cheeky names like The Forbitten Pie™, Cinnamon Toast Lunch™, and 27 more. Described as Luxury Erotic Lickable Oils, each 30ml glass bottle is made in the US and filled with the finest natural ingredients and flavorings.
Bringing a smile and a laugh back to the bedroom, Candyoni Maison describes their 'Elixirs' coquettishly as a range of vibrant flavors with baked-in nostalgia. Lucky Green Apple™ transports customers to the taste of candy apples at the fairground, while 50 Shades of Salted Caramel™ is reminiscent of hot summers.
Candyoni Maison's mission is to encourage consenting adults to talk openly, laugh and enjoy their foreplay. The sexy startup company believes that in exploring sex - whether coupled or solo, edible oils designed with love and care to delight and please should be included.
Here's the science bit. All arousal originates in the brain where input from touch, vision and sound combines with taste to entice. Often understated, taste and smell are major factors that get the engine running. Both men and women experience different levels of stimulation based on the density and number of taste buds on their tongues.
With brands like The Swimwear Branding Agency, Candyoni Maison's Luxury Erotic Lickable Oils is the second brainchild of Creative Director and CEO Stephanie Perry. Founded in early 2022, the process to create the perfect flavors has been a long, exciting, and enjoyable journey. Explaining a little about the process up to this point Perry said, "I love the feedback from our clients, and their stories. I love the happiness our oils bring." But now the feedback is in, and the beta testing is done, she's delighted to launch the final products. Unable to hide her delight she explained, "We're thrilled to introduce our lickable oils to the world!"
For Perry and the team at Candyoni Maison, sex, sexuality and empowerment should be talked about openly by women and men. Communication around sex is key to a healthy sex life. As a female-founded business Candyoni Maison understands the prevalence of internalized sexual hang-ups. But as a brand, they are keen to challenge both men and women everywhere to be bold.
The ultimate multi-sensory experience is coming to a bedroom near you - New Year's Day 2023. In-stock orders ship starting Jan. 9. Order today and you'll be enraptured with anticipation.
Use code 'Lick' at www.Candyoni.Maison for 25% off your first order. Gift cards excluded.

The Microdose Array Print (MAP) Technology has shown potential in clinical trials, providing the possibility of more accurate ocular drug delivery than traditional eye droppers
While medical devices have seen incredible advancements over the last 100 years, ocular drug delivery systems have seen minimal progress; the standard eye dropper used today has gone largely unchanged in the last century. Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), a pre-commercial ophthalmic technology company developing a pipeline of late-stage microdose array print (MAP™) therapeutics, is developing one of the first microdosing systems that aims to improve the overall patient experience and streamline practice flow by facilitating digital delivery of eye medications.
The investigational delivery device is currently only used in clinical study settings and has shown promise in delivering cleaner and more efficient ocular drug delivery. "The proprietary Eyenovia device takes a novel approach to administering eye medication via microdosing and does it in a way that should improve the patient experience," said Michael Rowe, CEO of Eyenovia. "Traditional eye droppers are cumbersome, inaccurate, and prone to contamination. Even when handled with care, there's still a significant likelihood that medication patients are paying for gets wasted due to missing drops."
The device is uniquely designed with no protruding parts and a recessed nozzle to not touch patients' eyes, reducing the likelihood of infection. Eyenovia also expects a more gentle dosing experience to create a fundamental paradigm shift in eye care.
Eye drop innovation has stagnated, in part due to changing medical device regulations that complicate patient access to innovative devices. Safety takes precedence in the medical device industry; however, as digital innovation leaps ahead of bureaucratic regulatory bodies, regulators are challenged to keep pace with the cutting-edge new products that push the boundaries of technology.
While the world of healthcare looked significantly different 100 years ago, similar paradigm shifts in medical technology through innovations like pacemakers, cochlear implants, 3-D printed body parts, and artificial hearts revolutionized their respective industries, greatly improving quality of life and patient care. With a market share valued at roughly €100 billion in Europe, medical devices make up 7.5% of healthcare expenditure in most publicly funded healthcare systems, and the American ecosystem is taking notice.
As American private venture capital makes inroads into the digital health market, the total capital investment in medical devices has increased by a factor of five, which portends a promising future for improved patient care. Medical technology device advancement is only expected to increase over the next five years, and Eyenovia is one of those industry leaders in championing innovation.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions, including estimated market opportunities for our product candidates and platform technology. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and in some cases are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in documents which we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to, among other things: risks of our clinical trials, including, but not limited to, the costs, design, initiation and enrollment (which could still be adversely impacted by COVID-19), timing, progress and results of such trials; the timing of, and our ability to submit applications for, obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates; the potential impacts of COVID-19 on our supply chain; the potential advantages of our product candidates and platform technology; the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our product candidates; our estimates regarding the potential market opportunity for our product candidates; reliance on third parties to develop and commercialize our product candidates; the ability of us and our partners to timely develop, implement and maintain manufacturing, commercialization and marketing capabilities and strategies for our product candidates; intellectual property risks; changes in legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate and the impact of these changes on our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our products; and our competitive position. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
