Introducing Sulinu

Sulinu

Sulinu, the trailblazing company transforming the approach to pre- and post-operative nutritional care, announces its official launch. Established by the highly regarded Clinical Dietitian, Kylie Bensley MS, RD, Sulinu introduces a paradigm shift with her comprehensive nutrition programs incorporating clinically-proven ingredients to enhance preparation for and recovery from elective procedures. As the first company of its kind, Sulinu is poised to make a profound impact on the cosmetic surgery industry, setting new standards for patient care and outcomes. Boasting over a decade of experience as a distinguished expert in nutrition, Bensley has dedicated her career to working with esteemed hospital post-surgical facilities in Cambridge and Boston, MA. Through this experience, she observed the challenges hindering proper healing and the consequent damage to the body resulting from insufficient nutrients for optimal repair. What makes Sulinu truly groundbreaking and a category innovator is that has created: The inaugural and most complete surgical recovery powder on the market and the ONLY medical-grade one available to consumers An All-IN-ONE powder that delivers vital bioavailable ingredients to the bloodstream for optimal recovery, including proteins, collagen, vitamins, enzymes, minerals and amino acids. A cleaner and more wholesome alternative to the enteral and oral nutritional supplements utilized in leading surgical facilities The ONLY powder of its kind to completely dissolve in liquid A once-daily, superblend scoop delivers immune-boosting, mind-calming and incision-healing properties for optimal nutrition and recovery Sulinu stands at the forefront of innovations in cosmetic surgery nutrition, ensuring that individuals can now navigate their surgical journeys with enhanced support and optimal well-being. By pioneering a program that underscores the importance of gut health in incision healing, Bensley simplifies and streamlines the dietary process for the body to bolster immunity, minimize swelling, alleviate bruising and fill nutrient gaps. "Nutrition is a fundamental yet often overlooked aspect of the cosmetic surgery journey,” says Bensley. “Sulinu was born out of the belief that individuals deserve inclusive, expert-guided nutrition plans to optimize their surgical experience, from preparation to recovery." The Sulinu program is designed with three key components that work collectively to combat the factors known to impair incision healing, increase infection risk, and delay overall downtime. 1. Before + After Vitals Dietary Powder Supplement*: An all-in-one gluten-free powder formulated with patented ingredients to deliver the essential and crucial nutrients needed before and after surgery. Bioenhanced Vitamin C – clinically proven to reduce inflammation and help grow and repair body tissue Proteolytic Enzymes - helps absorb protein and reduce the amount that’s excreted when combined with other proteins, increasing the absorption of total serum amino acids, which are essential for incision healing Hydrolyzed Collagen - stimulates skin cells to produce more collagen, essential to giving skin structure, strength and elasticity Biome Synbiotics – blend of both patented prebiotics and patented probiotics clinically proven to survive stomach acids and arrive alive in the gut to support a healthy microbiome. 2. Pre-Op Meal Guide. This extensive guide not only prepares the body to fast-track beautiful results, it also helps navigate dietary pitfalls that can contribute to experiencing dangerous complications. All recipes are carefully curated with ingredients that work together to turbocharge healing in efforts to avoid excessive bruising, swelling and slow-to-mend incisions. 3. Comprehensive 2-Week Post-Op Meal Plan. Tailored to specific cosmetic procedures (tummy, face, breast), each delicious, nutrient-rich, high-protein recipe is designed to alleviate nausea, pain, constipation, and optimize skin healing. Every ingredient serves a specific post-surgery recovery purpose (i.e. flax for fiber, bone broth for absorbable amino acids, turmeric for anti-inflammatory effects). Sulinu stemmed from Bensly’s frustrations in witnessing patients being prescribed multiple vitamins to augment protein powders. This not only proved costly for the patient, but ineffective because supplement dosages were incorrect and were not paired with ingredients that helped maximize absorption. This often disrupted the patient’s gut biome and hindered healing. Sulinu makes accessing the most effective and clinically proven nutrition available while also offering: Expert Guidance from a Registered Dietitian: With Kylie Bensley at the helm, Sulinu provides access to expert guidance from a registered dietitian with a wealth of knowledge in both nutrition and the specific requirements of cosmetic surgery patients. Pre-Operative Optimization: Sulinu emphasizes the importance of pre-operative nutrition to prepare the body for surgery. Through specialized dietary recommendations, clients can enhance their resilience and support their bodies in the lead-up to their cosmetic procedures. Post-Operative Recovery Support: Sulinu's post-operative nutrition plans are designed to accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote optimal healing. These plans address the unique nutritional needs that arise after cosmetic surgery, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable recovery process. Evidence-Based Approach: Sulinu is committed to an evidence-based approach, incorporating the latest research in nutrition science to guide its recommendations. This ensures that clients receive the most up-to-date and effective nutritional support throughout their cosmetic surgery journey. * Many supplements rely solely on third-party testing, which only states the presence of the vitamin. Sulinu also uses patented ingredients to ensure effectiveness at the clinically studied amounts. Recognized as safe by FDA (GRAS-affirmed): a much harder accreditation to achieve than those of standard supplement safety.

YourFMO Helps Provide 3 Million Meals to Feeding America® in 2023

YourFMO

YourFMO, a national, non-governmental, independent marketing organization providing agents with valuable resources to help clients decide on Medicare options, announced that it has donated a milestone 3 million meals to Feeding America in 2023. YourFMO first partnered with Feeding America in 2019 with a shared goal: to help people get the food and resources they need to thrive. In service of this partnership, YourFMO donates the equivalent of 10 meals for every effective insurance enrollment that agents submit through the YourFMO Enrollment Center. Since the inception of this program in 2019, agent submissions via the YourFMO Enrollment Center, an essential agent resource, have grown significantly, resulting in an overall donation of the equivalent of 7.5 million meals to the Feeding America network of food banks, food pantries, and local meal programs. In 2023, YourFMO set an aggressive goal to donate the equivalent of 1 million meals. “We were thrilled to have reached 2 million meals this year, but to see us now passing the 3 million meal mark, we could not be more pleased” said Matthew Graham, senior vice president and YourFMO program leader. “We’re exceptionally grateful for the independent agents who use our enrollment center. Their support is the reason we reached this milestone in the battle against hunger.” Through its Feeding America partnership, the YourFMO team has gained new insights into the challenges faced by Americans experiencing food insecurity. Graham said the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic downturn brought into clearer focus the important services Feeding America provides, especially within the senior population. According to Feeding America, 1 in 14 seniors, age 60 and older, was food insecure in 2021 and 7.1% of the senior population was food insecure. Every state is home to seniors and older adults who experience food insecurity. “YourFMO’s support of Feeding America has been outstanding,” said Lauren Biedron, senior vice president, Corporate Partnerships, Feeding America. “Through their generosity, they have helped to provide 7.5 million meals since 2019 to our neighbors facing hunger in the U.S. We are appreciative of YourFMO and thank them for their support." YourFMO’s support for Feeding America has inspired other efforts, including those with one of its closest partners. “The YourFMO team is relatively small, but they have motivated others across AmeriLife,” said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer of Health for AmeriLife. “We’ve used YourFMO’s blueprint to organize other highly successful events with Feeding America throughout our company, and it’s uplifting to know that the food donations from our partners and employees have also helped so many in our community and across our nation.” YourFMO’s commitment to Feeding America will continue into the new year. “We’re so very grateful for the support from our independent agents and AmeriLife,” added Graham. “If we keep up this pace, YourFMO is certain to exceed an overall donation of 10 million meals in 2024.” Individuals wanting to support YourFMO’s efforts can visit its Team Feed Corporate donation page to make a financial contribution. ### About YourFMO YourFMO is a national non-government, independent marketing organization that is a one-stop shop for independent agents to grow their business. The site provides agents with the information they need to help their clients make thoughtful Medicare decisions. YourFMO provides agent and consumer resources, including the YourFMO Enrollment Center, which is a multi-carrier platform that allows agents to compare, quote, and enroll their clients conveniently in one place. For more information, visit YourFMO.com. About Feeding America Feeding America is committed to an America where no one is hungry. We support tens of millions of people who experience food insecurity to get the food and resources they say they need to thrive as part of a nationwide network of food banks, statewide food bank associations, food pantries and meal programs. We also invest in innovative solutions to increase equitable access to nutritious food, advocate for legislation that improves food security and work to address factors that impact food security, such as health, cost of living and employment. We partner with people experiencing food insecurity, policymakers, organizations, and supporters, united with them in a movement to end hunger. Visit FeedingAmerica.org to learn more.

WagerWire Launches Sports Betting Marketplace on Red Rock Resorts’ STN Play App

WagerWire

WagerWire, a marketplace technology and media company serving sportsbooks and bettors, announced today that bet trading functionality is now live with Red Rock Resorts (NASDAQ: RRR) on Station Casinos’ STN Play. The STN Play iCasino offers hundreds of different slots and table games in addition to sports betting via Sports Plus powered by Sparket. Now with the WagerWire marketplace integrated, bettors can buy and sell their active sports bets at any time until the conclusion of the event. WagerWire announced in January of this year that it had partnered with Sparket, the Social Betwork™ that lets users bet on traditional sports, esports, live events, pop-culture, and beyond via a community-based social platform. “This is the beginning of a new generation of sports betting offerings,” said Zach Doctor, CEO of WagerWire. “Not only will STN Play users be able to bet on anything, but they will also have the option of selling those bets after the event has started, creating the next frontier of trading, engagement and entertainment. As a part of the collaboration, WagerWire also received GLI33 Certifications for our system integration with Sparket and GAN, which is another significant milestone for the company”. The Sports Plus sportsbook has been a breakout success for STN following the implementation of Sparket bets this year, helping attract droves of high value users to the platform. Users that play Sports Plus also tend to stick around and play more games overall and wager more coin volume. The addition of WagerWire is poised to turbocharge this growth even further, and attract new demographics to the STN iCasino. “Integrating WagerWire into our offering with STN Play and other clients opens a new vertical of activity once our pre-match markets have closed,” said Aaron Basch, Co-Founder of Sparket. “Now that bets can be bought or sold, live betting markets will be available to players, creating a whole new way for Station’s users to play.” The early results of adding WagerWire marketplace functionality have been extremely positive. Over 20% of betting volume is being traded on the market, and the sportsbook’s overall volume has increased significantly. Players that use WagerWire also spend more time in other parts of the app and play more iCasino games. The early results confirm the findings of an independent survey of bettors that found that 76% of bettors would spend more time inside a sportsbook’s app if bet trading were offered. This partnership comes on the heels of WagerWire’s partnership with sportsbook platform SB22, who also partnered with Sparket earlier this year. The Red Rocks Resorts partnership is the newest in a series of sportsbook rollouts by the challenger start-up who recently announced a partnership with Betr. STN Play is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. STN Play is currently offering 5,000 free coins for signing up, 10,000 free coins for each friend you refer, and the opportunity to collect bonus coins for each daily log in.

What are Progressive Jackpot Slots? A Guide to Playing Progressive Slots at Canadian Casinos.

Acroud Media

As long as online gambling has been around, slots have always been the star of the show. They’re well suited for the online platform and have some excellent features and gameplay to offer. One of the most popular variations of slots is progressive jackpots. What is a Progressive Jackpot Slot? Progressive Jackpots were first introduced in the Mega Moolah slot, developed by Microgaming (now owned by Games Global). It’s different from a regular slot because it has a special jackpot, which is contributed to every time any player places a bet on the game. These jackpots aren’t just limited to the site they’re on either, as some jackpots aggregate across multiple casinos, called networked progressive jackpots. This leads to huge jackpots, which can be randomly triggered when you play the game. Sometimes, to be eligible to trigger the jackpot, you have to bet a certain amount, but this rule will change between games. There are usually different types of jackpots within the same game, with smaller jackpots easier to trigger than large ones. A great site which allows you to enjoy progressive jackpot slots is Spin Casino, read here to learn more. How to Play Progressive Jackpot Slots Playing progressive jackpot slots is no different from standard slot machines: insert your bet and spin the reels. If you hit a winning combination, your wager will pay out. Progressive jackpots usually trigger randomly, meaning you don’t need a specific combination to win. Sometimes, you must bet above a certain amount to be eligible for the jackpot, but this isn’t consistent. Different slots will have unique rules for play, so you should read through an individual game’s instructions before placing down any money. But, in general, if you know how to play a slot game, you’ll get the gist of a progressive. There are no guaranteed ways to win a progressive jackpot, and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably trying to scam you. However, there are some things you can do to keep your play fun and fair: Understand the rules for triggering a jackpot — you don’t want to make a bet after bet without having a chance at winning the progressive. Ensure you play at a reputable casino with a solid licence — you want to know that a casino will be able to pay out if you win. Make the most of all welcome bonuses, promotions and offers — some online casinos offer these bonuses on progressive jackpot slots. Tips for Playing Progressive Jackpot Slots Here are a few tips for playing progressive jackpot slots: Have a strategy prior to playing. For example, have a set amount to limit your play and have a time frame for playing. Don’t let frustration get the best of you, and take regular breaks. This will help to keep a level head and control your expenditure. Never chase your losses. Pick a safe online casino, preferably one with low deposit requirements, to get you started. Readers can find all the information they need to know about the Best $1 Deposit Casinos in Canada in our review. Popular Progressive Jackpot Slots Some of the most popular progressive jackpot slots include: Mega Moolah Megapays Jackpot Age of the Gods Jackpot Immortal Romance Mega Moolah Divine Fortune Pork Knox Conclusion The introduction of progressive jackpots changed the world of slots forever. Those huge jackpots are an exciting prize, and it’s hard to resist trying your hand at it. And even if you don’t hit it, the slot you’re playing is usually a good time, regardless. While the sky-high networked jackpots are attractive, don’t forget to give the smaller ones the time of day, too. Smaller jackpots are usually easier to trigger. And, of course, as exciting as progressives are, don’t get lost in those numbers. Take frequent breaks, watch your pockets and remember before all else to have fun.

OPPO and Fashion Pioneer AMBUSH® Launch Exclusive New Accessory for the OPPO Find N3 Flip

OPPO

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 December 2023 - OPPO, a leading smart device brand, announced a new collaboration with fashion house AMBUSH®. The collaboration centers on a unique, stylish Flipped Padlock smartphone case designed exclusively for the OPPO Find N3 Flip by AMBUSH® Creative Director, YOON. As OPPO's latest collaboration in the world of fashion, the new campaign extends OPPO's commitment to exploring the frontiers of fashion through its compact yet powerful Find N Flip series phones. Through the collaboration, OPPO and AMBUSH® seek to reimagine the intersection of style and functionality with the new OPPO X AMBUSH FLIPPED PADLOCK, inspired by the Heart Padlock Bag designed by YOON. Perfectly embodying OPPO's brand mission, "Inspiration Ahead," the Flipped Padlock stays true to YOON's signature heart-shaped design, enveloping the compact OPPO Find N3 Flip in a trendy, eye-catching pink shade for a chic look. The OPPO X AMBUSH® collaboration goes beyond what meets the eye. The two brands have intertwined their unique styles to present a dynamic fusion of cutting-edge technology and pioneering fashion that resonates with today's tech-savvy style icons. By bringing together the powerful yet compact OPPO Find N3 Flip with YOON and AMBUSH®'s forward-looking designs, the partnership showcases how technology and fashion can be flawlessly blended. "I've been a sci-fi fan since I was a kid, and technology development has always inspired my designs. The return of the Flip phone trend has brought me back to the late 1990s, a pivotal time in fashion, when futuristic styles were on the rise, and people started using style as a status symbol. This collaboration explores how the smartphone, our most-used technology product, can become an extension of who we are. With the Flipped Padlock and Flip phone, you can be anyone you want to be, which is exactly what AMBUSH® has always stood for," said YOON, Creative Director of AMBUSH®. Like AMBUSH®, the OPPO Find N3 Flip fuses vintage and modern inspiration with its retro flip design and cutting-edge technology. In its design of the Flipped Padlock, AMBUSH® has taken cues from the sleek body and powerful performance of the Find N3 Flip to create a one-of-a-kind accessory that collides Y2K style with contemporary trends.

Dazzling Avenue of Stars Runway for Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams’ First Fashion Show Highlights Hong Kong as World-Class Stage for Mega Events

The Avenue of Stars Management Company

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 December 2023 - Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars lit up in the glitziest fashion on Friday night (30 November) as French fashion house Louis Vuitton took over the promenade for its first-ever fashion show in the city. Overlooking Hong Kong's stunning skyline, Victoria Harbour and the revitalised Victoria Dockside, Louis Vuitton's Men's Pre-Fall 2024 show was a nod to the city's cultural vibrancy and nautical past, and showcased Hong Kong's allure as a world stage for mega, cultural events. Led by Louis Vuitton men's creative director Pharrell Williams, the Avenue of Stars was transformed into a sandy beach, as models marched down digital displays of lapping waves. One of the biggest spectacles of its kind in Asia, hundreds of international stars and socialites lined the promenade, including Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari, French actor Tahar Rahim, American rapper Pusha T, Chinese idol band TNT, South Korean actor Song Joong-ki, as well as Hong Kong celebrities Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok, and Louis Koo. The success of the momentous event was attributed to facilitation from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government, which offered its full support to Louis Vuitton, including coordination of approvals, venue usage and layout, as well as crowd control, ensuring the show advanced smoothly from conception to fruition, and all planned in only a few months. The Sports and Tourism Bureau and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department also played instrumental roles in staging the remarkable event. Ending with a riveting light show above Victoria Harbour, where a squadron of choreographed drones displayed "LVers" (a combination of Louis Vuitton's monogram with the word "lovers"), the show sent a message of positivity to Hong Kong and the rest of the world. The event was livestreamed on Louis Vuitton's social media accounts, attracting over 10 million views, and is still reaching eyeballs on multiple social media platforms transmitting snapshots of the magnificent show to the globe. Hong Kong's international comeback as a hub for mega cultural events The Hong Kong SAR Government attaches great importance to enticing international and mega arts and cultural events, cultivating Hong Kong as an arts and cultural metropolis and tourist attraction. Locals and tourists alike can expect more acclaimed events in the city over the coming year. Contact Details Isabel Kwok +852 6475 7796 isabel.kwok@citigatedewerogerson.com
