VKGS LLC ("Video King") is pleased to announce today the completion of its first Managed Services Agreement in the State of California with the Jamul Indian Village Development Corporation (www.jamulindianvillage.com), owner and operator of Jamul Casino. A favorite among San Diegans, Jamul Casino is one of the region's top destinations for food, fun, gaming, and entertainment.
"We are thrilled to partner with Jamul Casino to launch our Class II Certified Bingo Game," said Rusty Morin, Vice President of Video King. "Bingo TreasuresTM features all of the traditional bingo game elements that bingo players will love, including the ability to pick their own numbers, play for a common game ending pattern on a 5x5 bingo card, and having an opportunity to win in every game. We expect that our addition of multi-million-dollar weekly jackpots will accelerate the growth of Bingo TreasuresTM as a nationally linked Class II bingo product. This will allow Indian Country to finally host and offer to players life-changing jackpots, which can compete for dollars players are currently spending on lottery type products," commented Morin. This product can be sold from all facilities located on Tribal lands held in trust, including casinos, hotels, restaurants, gift shops, smoke shops, golf courses, convenience stores and gas stations.
Bingo TreasuresTM is offered by Video King and Parlay Games Inc. ("Parlay"), who combined their efforts and synergistic intellectual property assets into a new joint venture in 2021. The partnership has leveraged Video King's international land-based electronic bingo footprint and Parlay's online Bingo and international iGaming assets. The joint venture partners are also working to offer additional Class II games in the future, which will leverage the attributes of the Tribal network that is being created with Bingo TreasuresTM.
Mary Cheeks, President and General Manager of Jamul Casino, commented, "Jamul Casino is thrilled to be the first California Tribal Casino to partner with Video King for Bingo TreasuresTM, and we are excited to introduce the game at Jamul Casino. We are also delighted to be a host for the live weekly ball draws, which we intend to make very entertaining when we launch."
Video King and Parlay Games are in active negotiations with other U.S.-based Indian Tribes, to add Bingo TreasuresTM to their tribal facilities and to grow the Tribal network. The Companies will present Bingo TreasuresTM along with many of their other gaming products at the 2022 G2E Convention, being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Oct. 11-13 and invite all interested parties to visit us at booth #3030.

WILMINGTON, Del. - September 23, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Reolink, a smart home camera provider, announces today that it teams up with Oliver Ridley Project (ORP), a non-profit sea turtle conservation organization (registered charity number 1165905 in England & Wales and CR/04/2022 in the Maldives), to protect sea turtles and their habitats in the Indian Ocean.
ORP uses smart home security cameras, including 4G solar-powered cameras and an all-in-one 4K security system, which are donated by Reolink, to monitor sea turtle nests during hatching seasons and turtle patients at its rescue center.
Remote monitoring turtle nesting with cellular solar-powered cameras
The first Reolink Go 4G solar camera was installed in 2021 at Six Sense Laamu for ORP to monitor turtle nests remotely without great impacts on the natural hatching process. Later, the ORP team set up additional Reolink 4G cameras at another two bases to capture the first signs of the hatching.
"After the great success of the cameras currently used at three of our bases," says Olivia Forster, sea turtle biologist from ORP, "we are hoping to get multiple cameras on site for the islands with lots of nesting."
Live streaming turtle patients at the rescue center in 4K
The ORP team provides veterinary care and rehabilitation facilities for injured or sick sea turtles. With the Reolink 4K security system, the ORP team can watch turtle patients remotely via the Reolink mobile app to see if they are doing well.
Besides, scientists from ORP may also use the video footage captured with the Reolink camera system, which is ideal video material, for future sea turtle conservation education events and community outreach held by ORP.
"We want the Reolink security cameras here at the Rescue Center. They can monitor our sea turtle patients from a distance," says Dr. Minnie Liddell, the former veterinary surgeon at ORP, "We can access them remotely to observe their behaviors in a non-invasive way. It is really helpful for us to assess how they are getting on and how close they are to being released."
For more information about Reolink's partnerships with ORP or on becoming a partner, visit Reolink in Action program.

SAN FRANCISCO - September 22, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
A Fillmore-based community empowerment organization has partnered with a private investigator to help the City of San Francisco make contact with 10,000 people displaced from their homes. These displacements were the result of the federally-funded urban renewal program administered by the former San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in the predominantly African American neighborhoods in the Western Addition and Hunters Point areas in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1967, the Certificate of Preference Program ("the Certificate Program") was created to give a housing preference to low- and moderate-income persons who were displaced by urban renewal programs in San Francisco, and this housing preference was made law in the State of California in 1969. In the decades that followed, however, the rebuilding of affordable housing in San Francisco was not adequate to provide new homes for many of the displaced persons. To address these inadequacies, the Certificate Program was subsequently extended and expanded to include City-funded affordable housing programs. The building of affordable housing continues today, and, in September 2021, Governor Newsom expanded the preference to include the descendants of the displaced persons, with Assembly Bill No. 1584.
The Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure ("OCII"), the successor to the Redevelopment Agency, and its Commission, have launched a renewed effort to locate and contact these displaced people, so that they and their descendants may receive a preference in lotteries when applying for affordable rental and homeownership housing units in San Francisco.
New Community Leadership Foundation ("NCLF") is a non-profit organization that works to transform and empower Black and other disenfranchised communities in San Francisco. Lynx Insights & Investigations, Inc. ("Lynx") is a private investigations firm with offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles. NCLF and Lynx were awarded the contract to locate and contact these displaced people by the OCII in competitive bidding. NCLF and Lynx have developed a community-driven, culturally competent, restorative and technologically innovative approach to finding these 10,000 displaced people.
NCLF and Lynx will train and equip a team of individuals with ties to the impacted communities in San Francisco to conduct investigations and outreach, using contact information obtained from database searches. Over an approximately four-month period, this collaborative investigative team will make contact with the surviving displaced people, confirm their current contact information and notify displaced persons that their descendants could qualify for a preference.
This participatory investigation model allows community members and community-based organizations with deep roots, relationships, and historical knowledge in the Western Addition and Hunters Point neighborhoods to play a critical role in locating people who were displaced from these communities. It will also allow community members to develop new skills in investigative techniques and data management.
About New Community Leadership Foundation: NCLF was established in the historic Fillmore neighborhood of San Francisco in 2015, and has made significant contributions to empower and uplift residents of Black and other disenfranchised neighborhoods across San Francisco, California. Through programs encompassing cultural upliftment, historic preservation, economic development, civic engagement, artistic empowerment, equity advancement, and much more, NCLF works to empower San Francisco's Black community while uniting with all of our city's stakeholders and decision makers to work collaboratively toward bold initiatives for economic and racial justice. One relevant initiative occurred in November 2018, when NCLF organized the first public event in San Francisco history to recognize the tragic loss of over 900 people who were members of the People's Temple and died in Jonestown, Guyana, on Nov. 18, 1978 - many of them former residents of historic Fillmore.
About Lynx Insights & Investigations, Inc.: Lynx is an innovative private investigations firm that was founded in San Francisco in 2010. Lynx's investigative practice combines sophisticated public records research capabilities, cutting-edge online research and cyber techniques, and a unique track record of obtaining key facts from witness interviews and field investigations. Lynx conducts its investigations in an ethical and defensible manner so that organizations and communities can take informed and reparative steps forward. The Lynx principals combined have over 40 years of experience with providing complex fact-finding and investigative services to companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations and schools, and decades of experience with training in investigative techniques and processes, including seminars for law firms, corporations and non-profits.

The Brewing Funds the Cure initiative allows the passion and creativity of the brewing industry to help fund critical research in collaboration with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. The signature program for Brewing Funds the Cure is the annual release of Rising Hope. Now in its fifth year, the program's goal is to have one brewery in each state produce the iconic "Rising Hope" IPA. In the first four years of the release of Rising Hope, craft brewing partners across the country have raised over $500,000 for pediatric cancer research.
Each year, Brew masters from Florida Avenue Brewing and Cigar City Brewing design a new recipe and share it with collaborating breweries across the country. Supplier partners such as Country Malt Group, Yakima Chief Hops, and Amoretti Fruit Puree provide donated ingredients to each of the Rising Hope breweries. In addition, Blue Label Packaging Co has donated labels for canning, and Taphandles provides signature tap handles for each participating brewery. The signature IPA is released through September and October, and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. 2022 partners will be updated on the virtual map at: www.brewingfundsthecure.org.
Why is this important?
Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease among children
43 children per day are expected to be diagnosed with cancer
Only 4% of the billions of dollars that are spent annually on cancer research and treatments are directed toward treating childhood cancer
More than 95% of those who survive childhood cancer will have a significant health-related issue by the time they are 45 as a result of being treated with drugs designed for adults.
How to Get Involved with Brewing Funds the Cure
Join/Donate:
Organizations can join Brewing Funds the Cure by going to the NPCF's Brewing Funds the Cure website. To inquire about partnering or to donate: www.brewingfundsthecure.org

NAPLES, Fla. - September 22, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

CSMO's surgical offering completes a full suite of transparently priced orthopedic services offered by the practice, which now includes the spectrum of care from initial office evaluation, X-ray and MRI, and surgical procedures to post-operative care and physical therapy.

The CSMO partnership with HealthMe shows that compliance with price transparency requirements does not have to be complicated and puts the needs of patients at the center of these efforts."
"Our number one priority is to serve our patients with the highest possible orthopedic care, and we're committed to assuring our patients have all the information they need about their treatment options and are engaged in their care and recovery. That begins with providing patients an upfront, fair, and transparent price," said Becky Farmer, CEO of CSMO. "Our team is continuously researching and quickly implementing the most innovative and consumer-friendly technologies - and we've already seen the value in providing transparent pricing to patients while streamlining the payment process for our staff."
"Based on their commitment to practice excellence, innovation, and the consumer-focused transformation of healthcare, we're pleased to support CSMO with our platform and provide their patients with a comprehensive menu of transparent pricing," commented Dr. Mike Havig, HealthMe Founder and CEO.
