Boron One Granted New Exploration License as it Progresses Through Exploitation Approvals

VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2024 / Boron One Holdings Inc. ("Boron One" or the "Company") (TSXV:BONE), a company dedicated to the decarbonization of Planet Earth through the responsible utilization of its boron assets, is pleased to report that it has been granted a new exploration license by the Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy for the Company’s wholly owned Piskanja Boron Project. This new 3-year license ensures Boron One’s continued exclusive rights to the Piskanja property, as the Company progresses through the mineral exploitation approval process for Piskanja (the "Approval Process") with the Mining Ministry. As previously reported by the Company, it has received a "Certificate of Reserves" from the Mining Ministry as the first requisite step in the Approval Process, and is readying the mandatory documentation for submission in order to receive the "Approval of the Exploitation Field" as the next step in the Approval Process.

Tim Daniels, CEO of Boron One added, "Requesting a new exploration license was prudent to ensure continuity in our exclusive rights to the Piskanja deposit while we are in process to complete the exploitation licensing procedure. Our original Piskanja exploration license had expired, but exclusive exploitation rights do not commence until we receive an Approval of the Exploitation Field from the Ministry, prompting this interim action to ensure our uninterrupted rights to Piskanja between those two events." Tim Daniels continued, "Additionally, this new exploration license affords us an opportunity to attempt to expand the extent of the known mineral resource at Piskanja, as there remain unexplored regions of the property that lie outside the currently known mineral body footprint, but within the boundaries of the Piskanja exploration license area."

About the Piskanja Boron Project

Piskanja is Boron One Holdings Inc.’s wholly owned boron deposit with a Measured Mineral Resource of 1.39 million tonnes (averaging 35.59% B2O3), an Indicated Mineral Resource of 5.48 million tonnes (averaging 34.05% B2O3), and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 284.7 thousand tonnes (averaging 39.59% B2O3), calculated in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves (CIM Standards), as disclosed in the Company’s report titled, "Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment For The Piskanja Borate Project, Serbia, June 24, 2022". The responsible person for the PEA and the Mineral Resource Estimate contained within, is Prof. Miodrag Banješević PhD. P.Geo, EurGeol, a Qualified Person in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves (CIM Standards), and independent of Boron One Holdings Inc.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Tim Daniels

Abbott Launches New PROTALITY(TM) Brand To Support Adults on Their Weight Loss Journey

ABBOTT PARK, IL / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2024 / Abbott:

Abbott

  • The PROTALITY™ brand provides nutritional support for adults pursuing weight loss in the form of a high-protein nutrition shake featuring a blend of fast- and slow-digesting protein designed to feed muscles for up to seven hours
  • As people eat less and lose weight, a portion of what’s lost may be from muscle, which is vital to overall health and physical functioning
  • More than 7 in 10 adults are overweight or have obesity in the U.S. and many turn to diets, whether combined with medication, surgery or calorie restriction, to lose weight and improve overall health1

Abbott (NYSE:ABT), a global leader in science-based nutrition, announced today the launch of its new PROTALITY™ brand. The high-protein nutrition shake is the first product in this line to support the growing number of adults interested in pursuing weight loss while maintaining muscle mass and good nutrition.

Losing weight is a complex and personal process. Nearly half of U.S. adults attempted to lose weight in the past year.2 Whether pursuing weight loss by taking GLP-1 medications, undergoing a weight-loss surgery or following a calorie-restricted diet,3,4,5 people risk losing 11-50 percent muscle6,7,8 which plays an integral role in daily activities, movement and energy metabolism. Protein can help preserve muscle as people lose weight.

To preserve muscle mass during weight loss, research shows adults may need at least 50 percent more protein than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).9,10,11,12 High protein consumption can also support weight loss maintenance.13,14,15,16

”It’s critical for adults on weight loss regimens to prioritize good nutrition to ensure they get enough micronutrients and protein to preserve muscle mass while consuming limited calories,” said Hakim Bouzamondo, MD, MSC, MBA, division vice president of Nutrition Research and Development at Abbott. ”We’ve studied muscle health and nutrition for decades at Abbott. We understand that a weight loss journey can be challenging, which is why we’re launching the PROTALITY brand to give adults nutritional products with an excellent source of high-quality protein and nutrients to support muscle health.”

The Importance of Preserving Muscle During Weight Loss
There are more than 650 muscles in the human body. Muscles help support daily activities, movement and energy metabolism. Protein is an important building block for muscles, as well as skin, tissue and bones, and plays a vital role in metabolism, satiety and weight maintenance.

”We’ve learned from people on weight loss journeys – including those on GLP-1 medications – that they experience decreased appetite and thoughts of food,” said Dominique R. Williams, MD, MPH, medical director and obesity specialist at Abbott. ”Whether it’s due to decreased appetite or a busy schedule, it can be difficult for people losing weight to get the protein, vitamins and minerals they need to support their unique health goals. Our PROTALITY brand provides a nutrient-dense option designed to address gaps that may result in their diets.”

Targeted Nutrition to Feed Muscles and Busy Lifestyles
PROTALITY is a new brand created for people pursuing weight loss. The first product available is a high-protein nutrition shake for people who may have difficulty getting enough protein and other essential nutrients to support muscle mass and function. The formulation is equivalent to the nutrition in Abbott’s successful Ensure® Max Protein drink and will serve as a base to continue further innovations under the brand.

”We’re serving a new group of people who may be at a higher nutritional risk because they may be overweight or have obesity and use weight loss medications,” said Bouzamondo. ”Abbott intends to develop additional science-backed nutrition products and conduct clinical research to address the targeted nutrition needs of people losing weight.”

Each PROTALITY shake has key nutrients to support weight loss journeys:

  • 30 grams of high-quality protein to help preserve muscle
  • 8 essential B vitamins for protein and energy metabolism
  • 4 grams of comfort fiber for digestive health
  • 1 gram of sugar
  • 150 calories
  • 25 vitamins and minerals

”As people start to see results from their weight loss programs, many look for ways to maintain progress, including their nutrition goals,” added Williams. ”Whether that’s planning meals or snacks, they are looking for nutritious, easy protein options like PROTALITY that work with their busy schedules and support their personal nutrition goals.”

Individuals on a weight loss journey should always discuss their nutritional plan with their healthcare provider.

PROTALITY Availability Online and at Retailers

PROTALITY joins Abbott’s trusted portfolio of adult nutrition products that includes Ensure® and Glucerna®.

The new shake comes in Milk Chocolate and Vanilla flavors in 11-ounce, four-pack units. PROTALITY is now available at Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Kroger.com and coming to stores including Kroger, ShopRite (February), Albertsons (March), CVS (March), Walmart (April), Publix (April), and Meijer (May).

The Ohana Expands Its Reach: The Luxury Rehab Is Adding Capacity to Hawaii Location and Opening a California Location in 2024

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2024 / The Ohana, a world-class detox and residential inpatient treatment program, announces plans for expansion in 2024. In response to unprecedented demand for its services, The Ohana will be adding four additional beds to its Hawaii location, enhancing its capacity to provide personalized care and support to individuals on their journey to recovery. The ownership group of The Ohana is also set to open a second location in California by the end of Q2 2024, extending its renowned treatment program to a new market.

The Ohana offers resort-style detox and addiction treatment rehabilitation services. A hallmark of the treatment plan is exposing clients to the magical surroundings unique to Hawaii.

Founder Elliott Michael Smith was drawn to Hawaii when he sought treatment for himself years ago. Finding there were no evidence-based high-end options on the islands, he committed to creating one. In 2020, he fulfilled his promise when The Ohana, the first world-class, luxury drug and alcohol rehab center in Hawaii, opened its doors.

At The Ohana, clients have access to a comprehensive range of medical & clinical services designed to address their physical and mental health needs. These services include psychiatric evaluations, medication management, EMDR therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and a robust supportive family program.

Clients also enjoy luxurious spa treatments, such as massage and acupuncture, as well as holistic practices like yoga and meditation. Nutritious meals prepared by a gourmet chef ensure that clients receive the nourishment they need to thrive.

The Ohana also offers one-of-a-kind adventure therapy activities that take advantage of the majestic Hawaiian location. Therapeutic adventures such as snorkeling, hiking, and ocean boat tours provide opportunities for teamwork, personal growth, and self-discovery.

In late 2024, The Ohana will expand from 8 residential client capacity to 12. The expansion is a result of the high demand for the services. Smith is excited that the expansion means that they can help more clients, without sacrificing the intimacy of their one-on-one customized care.

"Our mission at The Ohana is comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based addiction treatment services that empower individuals and families on their journey to lasting recovery," says Smith. "With our expansion plans, we are committed to reaching more people in need and continuing to set the standard for excellence in addiction treatment and recovery support."

The group behind The Ohana, led by Smith, will open a California location. Like The Ohana, the new location will take advantage of its desert location as a therapeutic focus.

The group seeks out locations that have a spiritual component, like Hawaii and the California desert. They believe that location and the activities afforded are an integral part of healing.

Since its opening, The Ohana has become a beacon of hope and transformation for individuals seeking recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. Founded by Smith, a veteran of the entertainment industry, The Ohana offers a unique approach that combines evidence-based modalities with holistic and adventure therapy. With Joint Commission Accreditation, State Licensing, and State Accreditation, The Ohana is Hawaii’s top-rated program, known for its commitment to providing compassionate and effective evidence-based clinical care.

As The Ohana looks towards the positive changes in 2024, it remains dedicated to inspiring positive change in the lives of those affected by addiction, offering hope, healing, and a path to a brighter, healthier future.

SSB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Unaudited Financial Results for 2023

SSB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results For the year ended December 31, 2023

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / February 5, 2024 / SSB Bancorp, Inc. (OTC PINK:SSBP – news) (the "Company"), the holding company for SSB Bank (the "Bank"), today announced the Company’s unaudited, consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Total assets increased $44.6 million to $295.8 million at December 31, 2023, from $251.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in assets was due to an increase in deposits of $38.2 million as well as a net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $1.0 million. These funding increases were converted into a net increase of $31.2 million in net loans, $10.2 million in certificates of deposit, and $1.1 million in interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.

For the year ended December 31, 2023

Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $1.9 million, or $0.88 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $1.3 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Total interest and fee income increased by $4.1 million, or 41.0%, when comparing the results of the year ended December 31, 2023, to the year ended December 31, 2022. This is due to the increase in yield of interest-earning assets from 4.48% to 5.22% as well as an increase in average interest-earning assets of $47.3 million when comparing the two periods.

Interest expense increased by $3.4 million, or 119.4%, to $6.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, from $2.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense is due to the increase in cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.41% for the year ended December 31, 2022, to 2.99% for year ended December 31, 2023. This increase in cost is due to the increase in market interest rates when comparing the two periods. Additionally, average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $7.3 million from $199.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, to $206.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Noninterest income increased by $848,000, or 69.3%, to $2.1 million from $1.2 million when comparing the year ended December 31, 2023, to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is due to the increase in credit card processing fees of $798,000 when comparing the two periods. The credit card processing portfolio continues to grow in both the number of merchants as well as the volume of transactions settled.

Noninterest expense increased by $479,000 or 7.4% to $6.9 million. This was mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $155,000, outside professional fees of $127,000, and federal deposit insurance of $59,000, when comparing the two periods. These increases were offset by a decrease in marketing expense. The decrease in marketing fees reflects a change in business development methods with a higher emphasis on business development through referral of existing business channels.

This release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts; rather, they are statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects", "believes", "anticipates", "intends" and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause or contribute to the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to be materially different from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; legislative and regulatory changes.

Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Top-Notch Hair Transplant Results

A hair transplant in Turkey has become synonymous with world-class results at a fraction of the price. Turkish clinics have patient-oriented medical teams focusing on service quality, satisfaction, and safety and following the highest industry standards. Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic is no exception.

Famous for natural-looking results, it helps patients wave hair loss goodbye and welcome thick, dense hair that transforms their appearance. Dr. Serkan Aygın has 25+ years of experience, counting 10,000+ satisfied patients who enjoy a 98% hair regrowth rate.

His contributions to the field have brought him many accolades, including Europe’s Best Hair Transplant Surgeon Award at the 2019 European Awards in Medicine. His clinic has also received recognition, including the Best Medical Tourism Facility Award at the 2019 Tourism Awards by VD Viajes’ La Razón in Spain.

Cutting-Edge Hair Transplant Methods

Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic specializes in innovative hair transplant methods, including Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). The former addresses extensive hair loss, while the latter suits patients with mild-to-moderate baldness.

Both techniques ensure high precision, minimize scalp trauma, reduce healing time, and provide natural-looking results. However, the DHI method is the upgraded version that helps achieve higher graft survival and density and doesn’t require shaving the head.

It uses a Choi pen for extracting and directly implanting hair grafts without previous incisions. Besides eliminating scarring, it enables surgeons to insert follicles at the correct angles, ensuring transplanted hair matches natural hair.

Constant Innovation

Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to hair transplantation. It offers personalized services to meet every patient’s needs and expectations. One includes 3D technology for analyzing hair and taking measurements for pre-operative planning.

The award-winning Doku Studio Arc, the clinic’s device for 3D hair analysis, creates a 360° head model, takes photos from multiple angles and axes, and calculates the hair density, thickness, and strand number in roots. It provides accurate information for successful hair transplants.

Contact Information

Anyone considering a hair transplant in Turkey can contact or visit Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic in Miami for a free consultation. The clinic is at 333 SE 2nd Ave Suite 2000 and is open Mondays through Fridays from 12 a.m. to 8 p.m.
