AUSTIN,Texas, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Seven fast-emerging, modern food and beverage brands have come together to form a new health coalition ACES, the Alliance to Control Excessive Sugar. Enlightened, HighKey, Koia, Lemon Perfect, OLIPOP, Super Coffee, and Three Wishes, all have low-sugar and great taste in their DNA and have fueled the consumer demand for healthier, tastier, lower sugar options. Once competitors in the food and beverage market, these seven brands are now unified in their mission to help consumers reduce sugar from their diets. In fact, these companies have cumulatively already removed over 34 million pounds of sugar from the market and have committed to removing 157 million more pounds of sugar in the coming years.

Healthy brands team up to create The Alliance to Control Excessive Sugar (ACES) and giveaway $1 million in incentives

Despite the well-documented harmful effects of high-sugar diets, Americans knowingly and unknowingly consumed over 84 billion pounds of sugar in 2021, due in large part to added or hidden sugars. Additionally, many low- or no-sugar products on the market contain synthetic sweeteners, which can trigger insulin release and alter gut bacteria, and other potentially harmful ingredients. To help educate and provide consumers with better options, these companies are championing the benefits of zero-calorie sweeteners and delicious, nutritious ingredients so they don't have to choose between health and flavor.

"America's go-to brands are loaded with sugar and unnecessary calories that make food and drinks taste good but at the expense of health and wellness," says the Chair of ACES and CEO of Super Coffee, Jimmy DeCicco. "At ACES, we're committed to showing consumers that there's a better way food and beverages that are low in sugar and don't compromise on taste. Our combined impact is far greater than any single brand alone, which is why we're banding together for the betterment of our community. This is just the beginning of a movement that we hope will soon pressure every food and beverage company to meet consumers' needs of combining flavor with function and wellness."

As a first step, the ACES coalition launched a website, sweetaces.org, where consumers can learn more about the mission. ACES will also be giving away $1 million worth of discounts to consumers as incentives to remove sugar from their diets. On the website, consumers sign up for an exclusive ACES Passport coupon book with $30 in savings on better-for-you and great tasting products. They can also opt to send an ACES Passport book to a friend or loved one.

In addition, ACES is issuing an open invitation to other like-minded brands to join their movement and help create positive change in the food and beverage industry. These companies can go to sweetaces.org to sign up for consideration. Consumers can also nominate their favorite better-for-you brands to join the ACES family on the site. Companies who demonstrate that they are committed to this mission, meet certain criteria, and are approved by the ACES committee, will be welcomed into the fold.

After the initial launch, ACES will continue to roll out future programs and initiatives and to fulfill their mission. Visit sweetaces.org to learn more.

Significance

Biomedical application of mechanophores is the next frontier in polymer mechanochemistry. We report the concept, mechanochemical dynamic therapy (MDT), that utilizes remote, ultrasound-triggered mechanophore activation to enable anticancer activities. We selected an azo-based mechanophore to generate reactive free radicals (FRs) under the control of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which subsequently produced ROS. We investigated two sets of invitro mouse cancer models: 1) melanoma (B16F10) and 2) breast cancer (E0771). Inhibition of growth and decreases in viabilities of both B16F10 and E0771 were observed in correlation to the release of ROS by mechanophore activation. By circumventing the known issues in photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy, we anticipate MDT to be a powerful anticancer tool complementary to other existing cancer treatments.

Mechanophores are molecular motifs that respond to mechanical perturbance with targeted chemical reactions toward desirable changes in material properties. A large variety of mechanophores have been investigated, with applications focusing on functional materials, such as strain/stress sensors, nanolithography, and self-healing polymers, among others. The responses of engineered mechanophores, such as light emittance, change in fluorescence, and generation of free radicals (FRs), have potential for bioimaging and therapy. However, the biomedical applications of mechanophores are not well explored. Herein, we report an invitro demonstration of an FR-generating mechanophore embedded in biocompatible hydrogels for noninvasive cancer therapy. Controlled by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), a clinically proven therapeutic technique, mechanophores were activated with spatiotemporal precision to generate FRs that converted to reactive oxygen species (ROS) to effectively kill tumor cells. The mechanophore hydrogels exhibited no cytotoxicity under physiological conditions. Upon activation with HIFU sonication, the therapeutic efficacies in killing invitro murine melanoma and breast cancer tumor cells were comparable with lethal doses of H2O2. This process demonstrated the potential for mechanophore-integrated HIFU combination as a noninvasive cancer treatment platform, named mechanochemical dynamic therapy (MDT). MDT has two distinct advantages over other noninvasive cancer treatments, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). 1) MDT is ultrasound based, with larger penetration depth than PDT. 2) MDT does not rely on sonosensitizers or the acoustic cavitation effect, both of which are necessary for SDT. Taking advantage of the strengths of mechanophores and HIFU, MDT can provide noninvasive treatments for diverse cancer types.

Srinagar: The J&K administration took control of Kashmir Press Club (KPC), the largest membership organisation of the Valley-based media persons, hours after a group of independent journalists announced the formation of second interim committee for electing its new managing body.

The J&K administration led by Lieutenant Manoj Sinha on Monday, January 17, said that the press club, which was registered as a society in J&K, has ceased to exist after it failed to reregister under the Societies of Registration Act, a central law which was extended to Jammu and Kashmir after the revocation of Article 370.

The Press Clubs existing managing body too has come to a legal closure on 14 July, 2021, the date on which its tenure came to an end, the administration said in a statement, effectively seizing control of an institution which was set up to look after the welfare of journalists in Kashmir.

The development took place barely hours after a group of independent journalists associated with the national and international news organisations, including the BBC, Associated Press and others announced that they had nominated a committee to hold the elections for the new managing body, the second such committee in as many days.

The committee of 13 journalists, with the BBCs Riyaz Masroor topping the list followed by Associated Presss Mehrajuddin, had said on Sunday, January 16, that it was working on completing the legalities & re-registration process. In a statement, the committee said care has been taken to make the nominated body broad-based with representatives from every section of the fraternity.

A day earlier, in what the Editors Guild of India termed as armed coup, another committee of journalists, led by The Times of Indias Saleem Pandit with at least 10 more journalists and newspaper owners, some of them widely perceived to be government-friendly, had taken over the KPC office, naming Saleem as their interim president.

The hasty election of the interim committee and the heavy presence of security personnel armed with automatic weapons at the Press Club on Saturday had prompted uproar with prominent journalist bodies and free speech activists across the country criticising the involvement of the J&K administration in the illegal takeover.

The ousted managing body said on Monday that the formation of the interim committee was done with the ultimate goal of shutting down the club. For this purpose, they tried to install a group of journalists. By this action, they wanted to stifle the voice of journalists that resonated through the forum called Kashmir Press Club, the only democratic and independent journalist body in Valley, Ishfaq Tantray, general secretary of the ousted body, said in a statement.

But it is our firm belief that our journalists are capable and professional enough to keep the flame glowing and confront these challenges ahead. I want to reiterate that journalism thrived in Kashmir and it will survive all crests and troughs in the future as well, the statement added.

The issue had turned into a major embarrassment for the administration which seems to have now moved into damage control mode, dubbing the KPC takeover by the interim committee and the announcement of second committee on Sunday as an unpleasant turn of events involving two rival warring groups.

In view of this aspect of the dispute and in view of the reports in social media and other sources indicating a potential law and order situation including a threat of breach of peace and the safety of bonafide journalists, an intervention has become necessary, the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) said in a statement on Monday.

The Kashmir Press Club ran out of an outdated building located on the upscale Poloview Road in the heart of Srinagar. Before 2017, the building was occupied by the J&Ks employment department. After the death of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the J&K government, led by Mehbooba Mufti, partially refurbished the building and allotted it to the Kashmir Press Club after it registered as a society in 2018.

The announcement was made by Haseeb Drabu in his third budget speech as J&Ks finance minister and it was seen as a major achievement for the local media fraternity in Kashmir who have been working under difficult circumstances to report the regions recent volatile history. The PDP-BJP government had also promised Rs 50 lakh yearly budget for the club.

However, with the latest controversy, the administration has cancelled the allotment of Aiwan-e-Sahafat, pulling shutters on the institution which had emerged as a space for critical thought and intellectual exchange between journalists during its short existence. The club remained open during some the most historic developments, including the reading down of Article 370, when the whole of Kashmir was brought under a crippling security lockdown, and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The J&K administration said it is committed to a free and fair press and journalists should be entitled to all facilities, including a place for professional, educational, social, cultural, recreational and welfare activities. The admin also hopes that a duly registered bona fide society of all journalists shall be constituted as soon as possible and the same shall be able to approach the government for reallocation of the premises, the DIPR said in a series of tweets.

Pretext

Anuradha Bhasin, editor of Jammu-based English daily Kashmir Times, said the KPCs inability to hold elections (for the managing body) and the endless delay in the re-registration process was a pretext to lock a democratic institution.

It is more than evident that the move (to cancel the re-registration of KPC) was preplanned and aimed at killing a democratic institution where journalists were practicing free speech and free thought, she told The Wire.

The KPC had applied for reregistration last year in May and it was approved by the registrar of societies on December 29 last year after which the club announced dates for electing a new managing body on February 14. However, the administration applied brakes on the reregistration, citing a report by the CID or Criminal Investigations Department, an elite counterintelligence wing of J&K Police. The details of the report have, however, not been made public.

Bhasin said the issues at the KPC should have been dealt with by Kashmirs media fraternity. Instead of promoting democracy, the government has imposed its will and undemocratically demolished an institution, she said.

It has set a wrong precedent; if it can happen in Kashmir, it can happen elsewhere, she continued.

In a statement on Monday, the Indian Journalists Union said the KPC has been vocal on media issues, sustained harassment and intimidation of journalists in the Valley and the twin actions smack of vendetta and brazen attempt to silence dissenting voices.

The union, which in its National Executive Committee meeting in Itanagar, Arunachal, on January 12 had passed a resolution expressing solidarity with its Kashmiri journalists, demanded inquiry into the happenings at the Press Club over the last three days to ensure the KPC is allowed to function democratically.

J&K Admin Takes Control of Kashmir Press Club - The Wire

Machine Gun Kelly has explained why he chose to share the moment he proposed to partner Megan Fox.

In a new interview with Vogue, MGK said that he shared the footage of the special moment on social media as he and Megan wanted to control the narrative.

As opposed to someone just catching a weird cell phone picture of a ring on our hand and being like, whoa! Machine Gun Kelly told the publication, while Fox said, I dont really look at social media or anything, so I dont know.

The rapper-turned-pop-punker then added, But yeah, I didnt expect it.

I just recorded it on my cell phone, he explained, although the video on Foxs Instagram features multiple camera angles. And it wasnt like we had photographers or anything. It was just like me setting my phone against a cup.

Elsewhere in the Vogue interview, the singer revealed that the wedding band he proposed to the Jennifers Body star came with a rather weird and painful feature.

The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings, he explained. When its together, its held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart.And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts.

That would probably have easily won the recent viral red flag trend. When theVoguereporter replied, thats very nice, MGK said, love is pain.

The pair first met in March 2020 while filmingMidnight in the Switchgrass, soon becoming one of the most unexpected couples in Hollywood. This will be MGKs first marriage but Foxs second. She shares three children with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

I know tradition is one ring, but i designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love, he revealed on Instagram, accompanied by a close-up picture of the unique design.
