Shoppers have not had ready access to information they need to make responsible shopping decisions and thereby enact change in the world.

SALT LAKE CITY - November 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Consumers have grown increasingly concerned about the influence and power of large unethical companies. Few people feel comfortable supporting businesses that employ children, blatantly disregard laws, or pollute our beautiful Earth. But the overwhelming majority of people lack the information needed to determine which companies are deserving of our dollars and which companies they should avoid at all costs. To make matters worse, the information on the ethical nature of these companies that has been compiled is either expensive, hard to find or is geared specifically towards investors. This leaves the average consumer bereft of vital information to make informed shopping decisions. Ethicality is a brand new business here to give consumers the tools and information necessary to make informed and ethical shopping decisions.

Ethicality works using a simple web extension that has access to its ever growing database of information where it pulls the information on a company either by analyzing a product page or by searching directly.

With the ambition to reach 5.000 bedrooms across 11 cities by the end of 2026, Cohabs looks to initiate the next step in expansion through increased institutional support.

BRUSSELS - November 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Cohabs, a Brussels-based company specializing in coliving, announces the entry into its capital of three new institutional investors: global real estate investor Ivanhoé Cambridge, Belfius Insurance, and the real estate arm of the Belgian Sovereign Fund (SFPIM - Real Estate). All the founders and historical shareholders AG Real Estate and Alphastone remain on board to fuel the growth of the company.

Founded in 2016 by four Belgian entrepreneurs — Youri Dauber, François Samyn, Malik Dauber, and Lionel Jadot — Cohabs is a fully integrated coliving platform that both owns and operates its real estate assets. They provide a unique shared housing experience through fully furnished, premium accommodations. The 50-person company has a current portfolio of 1.550 bedrooms across five cities (Brussels, Paris, New York, Madrid, and Luxembourg), with the majority of its team and assets based in Brussels.

Driven by a community-first approach, Cohabs prioritizes the experience of its members through a tech-centric and flexible process. The company is committed to limiting its impact on the environment by focusing on a global, sustainable approach. From a social standpoint, Cohabs is committed to maintaining 5% of the Belgium portfolio as solidarity bedrooms with 50% reduced rent to ensure coliving is accessible for all.

With the ambition to reach 5.000 bedrooms across 11 cities by the end of 2026, Cohabs looks to initiate the next step in expansion through increased institutional support.

This equity investment will allow investors to assist Cohabs in terms of structuring, financing, and operational growth due to their extensive resources and experience in developing high-quality real estate around the world. This will significantly strengthen Cohabs' capital structure and increase its capacity to position itself as a major player with a focus on a sustainable coliving experience that always puts its members first. 

With that in mind, this step forward is not just a win for one organization, but a major step forward for the institutionalization of the coliving industry.

Cohabs was advised on this transaction by Natixis Partners & Tandem Capital Advisors.

"From the very first meeting with Ivanhoé Cambridge, it was clear we were a good fit. They immediately understood our vision of coliving and shared our fundamental values. They have the experience, resources, and drive to help us reach the next level. Combine this dynamic with the belief and support from our historical Belgian investors and our ambition has all the fuel necessary for us to accomplish our goals. Our mission will remain the same: be the most qualitative, sustainable, and member-centric coliving company in the world."

Youri Dauber, Founder & CEO of Cohabs.

"Cohabs offers everything we are looking for in terms of an innovative concept in an alternative asset class, which aligns with a strong and growing trend in the living sector, and we are confident the company will grow further internationally. This operation is another demonstration of Ivanhoé Cambridge's ability to successfully close complex private equity deals, and to diversify its portfolio with alternative asset classes."

Arnaud Malbos, Head of Investments Europe for Ivanhoé Cambridge. 

"We are delighted with this important step in the life of Cohabs, which we have supported with conviction since its inception. Flexibility, agility, service and quality in addition to a strong local Belgian base: these are all assets that have undoubtedly attracted Ivanhoé Cambridge. As a top-tier financial and strategic partner, AG Real Estate is convinced that such a pool of investors can only ensure the growth and sustainability of Cohabs! Congratulations to the teams for this new milestone in their history."

Amand-Benoît D'Hondt, Chief Alternative Investments & Sustainability Officer at AG Real Estate.

CYPRESS, Calif. - November 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Tripbtoz is a one-stop travel platform based on user-generated video content. Users share their short-form travel videos via app, and others can easily book hotels shown in the clips. The Korean startup differs from existing OTAs in providing user cross-communication tools in addition to basics such as lowest-priced accommodation. Users can simplify the step of travel consideration by experiencing indirectly and choosing destinations at the same time. This innovative challenger launched a renewal app in September that strengthens the travel community function and more enjoyment.

CEO Jiha JUNG introduced his company as a new web 3.0 era platform during the presentation under "The next wave of travel industry" at the world's largest mobile device fair "MWC (Mobile World Congress) Las Vegas 2022." Tripbtoz, well-received in Korea, plans to target the Southeast Asian market, starting with the establishment of Singapore corporation in the first quarter of next year. The company also aims to focus on entering global markets including the U.S. by launching English services in the first half of 2023.

The five tabs of their renewed app are as follows.

• Travel around the world while watching the video - FEED

Opening the app, one can see 'Feed' at first. In this SNS look-alike menu, users can watch videos uploaded by other travelers and click "Likes" or leave comments. If the users are interested in hotels, the user can click on the location information at the bottom of the video to go directly to the reservation step of the accommodation.

• Upload videos, conquer the area, and get rewards. - RANKING

A particularly notable feature of App 3.0, the tab is related to the 'Travel 2 Earn' service that actual rewards are given to. Travelers upload short forms with location information about specific hotels or filming places. The platform determines the ranking by combining user activities such as sharing, "Likes and views" counting, and comments. The top 100 rankers of each regional area earn Tripcash that can be used for bookings. Users conquer each area categorized as countries, larger provinces, local counties and cities, and accommodations, and more rewards are distributed over areas where more travelers competed. 

• Hurdle the upload worry and get a chance to win a prize. - CHALLENGE

The Challenge tab, also a notable new menu, participates in a set topic with short-form like TikTok and YouTube shorts. If the user has a hard time deciding what to film, these missions will lead the users. Current challenges are "Ho-kipedia" (introduction of hotels), "Point-a-pin Challenge" (about local restaurants & attractions), and "What's in my trip" (freewrite), and events will also be held to draw and give prizes only among challenge participants.

• SEARCH / MY
  
  On two other tabs, travelers can search for 870,000+ accommodations or check reservation information, earn Tripcash, and all about real & virtual adventures.

What medical uses can chiropractors get from cannabinoid compounds?

CARY, N.C. - November 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Stirling CBD, the leader in all natural and the most potent CBD markets available, discusses the myriad of health advantages and other potential medical gains from cannabinoids and its compounds.  

In 1942, American chemist Roger Adams made a breakthrough by discovering cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Since then, more than 115-plus cannabinoids have been identified in cannabis. 

The large number of cannabinoids begs the question: "How can people benefit from them?

CBD (Cannabidiol)

CBD is the second most prevalent compound in cannabis sativa plants, which includes the federally legal industrial hemp. CBD is found in many products sold in the market, with numerous research studies conducted on its efficiency. 

Two prescription drugs based on CBD have been developed after rigorous clinical trials. Other possible benefits of CBD include reducing anxiety, pain, inflammation, and nausea. 

CBN (Cannabinol) 

CBN is a rare cannabinoid. It originates from the THC compound, which degrades into CBN due to environmental exposure. Clinical trials on CBN showed its probable effectiveness in aiding sleep and pain relief. 

Additional studies are being conducted to test CBN's antibiotic properties, which show neuroprotective abilities.

CBG (Cannabigerol)

Mature hemp plants contain no more than 1% of CBG. Despite the low quantities of CBG compounds in industrial hemp, CBG is vital. It starts as Cannabigerolic acid and then converts into CBG.

CBGA then breaks down further into THCA and CBDA, the precursors of THC and CBD. 

Among the many medical uses of CBG, it has been known to boost appetite and reduce inflammation. It can also improve gastrointestinal issues. Work as a neuroprotectant while having antibacterial properties. 

CBGA (Cannabigerolic Acid)
Also known as the mother of all cannabinoids, it starts as the first compound created by the cannabis plant via photosynthesis. After enzyme exposure, CBGA is broken down into CBDA, THCA, and other secondary metabolites. Clinical studies show that CBGA shows promising results in the medical field. Though further research is needed to ascertain its benefits to human health.

Aside from the benefits mentioned, CBGA has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial properties.

CBDA (Cannabidiolic Acid)

As CBGA is exposed to enzymatic activity, it turns into CBDA, THCA, and CBCA. CBDA is the precursor of the well-researched CBD. Like CBD, CBDA does not cause intoxication; it is also non-impairing. Over the last decade, scientists have done research on the effects of CBDA. 

They've found that CBDA can slow down overactive brain activity. It also relieves inflammation, prevents nausea, and slows down too rapid cell growth.

With all the incredible properties cannabinoids offer to the human body, it's no surprise that people want to incorporate cannabinoids into their lives. Products like CBD gummies, CBGA capsules, CBD lotions, and many others have made it easier for people to reap the benefits of cannabinoids. 

About Stirling CBD

Founded in 2014 in Santa Cruz, California, as a premium cannabis flower company, Stirling launched its first CBD products in 2018. Stirling continues to lead in new product innovation and quality and sells a full lineup of Hemp-Based CBD, Delta 8 THC, and Delta 9 THC Products. In addition, Stirling launched its Professional Brand - Stirling Professional CBD - which is sold exclusively to Chiropractors, Gyms, CrossFit Boxes, PTs, and Massage Therapists.

Employees who just received a bonus at work might be wondering how to spend (or save) it. Here are a few options to consider when deciding what to do with funds from a bonus payment:

1. Save it

A bonus is a great opportunity to pad a savings account or build out an emergency fund. Bonus recipients may also see this as a chance to sock the money away and start saving for something big; this could mean saving more for retirement or another long-term financial goal like a down payment on a house or a car. 

2. Invest it

A bonus can also be an opportunity for savers to put more in their 401(k), IRA, or other retirement investments. Investors who have already maxed out their 401(k) contributions for the year or who just want to explore other avenues for investments may also want to invest the money outside of their retirement accounts. If investors are working with an advisor, the financial advisor may be able to assist in choosing stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other assets. 

3. Use it to pay down debt

A cash infusion can be a good occasion to pay off any outstanding debts. It may be enough to pay off the last of student loan debt or the rest of a car loan. People with high-interest debt, like credit card debt, can use their bonus to pay it down and save money on interest in the long run.

5. Make a down payment on a big purchase

A bonus could help someone reach a big financial goal they've been saving for. If a bonus is big enough, and the buyer will be able to consistently afford the monthly payments after the down payment, it could be a good time to make a down payment on a big purchase like a house or a car. 

6. Take a vacation

Anyone who has been working hard and hasn't had a chance to take a break might see a bonus as a chance to fund a relaxing vacation. Whether this is a dream vacation or a quick weekend trip to somewhere local, this is an opportunity to take time to recharge and come back to work refreshed and ready to take on new challenges.

7. Engage in lifelong learning

One of the most important things anyone can do with a bonus is invest in themselves. This could mean using the bonus to pay for lifelong learning, such as classes, seminars, or conferences. Doing this can lead to learning new skills, staying up-to-date in an industry, and meeting new people. Plus, it's a great way to network.
