BettingLadies.com Launches Sports Betting Industry’s First Affiliate, News and Content Site For All Sports, For Women - By Women

BettingLadies.com

BettingLadies.com, the first sports betting affiliate and content site for all sports written by women, for women, today announced it has officially launched its public-facing site. All content on the site is written, created and produced by women content creators to explicitly provide sports betting news, information, odds and statistics for women bettors of all skill levels. While most sites which target the women-bettor demographic segment their offering by exclusively discussing women’s sports, BettingLadies.com differentiates itself through the discussion of both women’s and men’s sports. This mixed approach to female-targeted content enables bettors to participate in and enjoy wagering opportunities around dominant leagues such as the NBA, NHL and MLB, while also embracing the emerging market of women’s sports betting. “The genesis of BettingLadies.com is about making sports betting more accessible for women. I looked for content to help educate myself as a bettor, but found the majority of resources were clearly created to be consumed by a male audience,” said Val C. Martinez, CEO and founder of BettingLadies.com. “Multiple studies have found that nearly a third of the betting market is women, however the opportunities for female-centric content have been limited. While there are women content creators in the market, I strategically saw whitespace and wanted to create a new space where bettors could consume content from like-minded female sports fans, as well as build a platform where female creators can find a voice in the emerging sports betting market.” Martinez brings more than 20-years experience as a banker and financial executive, leading large business groups in major financial institutions, to her role as founder of BettingLandies.com. In addition to daily news from the sports world and daily betting lines, BettingLadies.com currently hosts the following signature elements: BettingLadies.com Community - Sign up and meet, interact and discuss betting with like-minded women. Lady Locks - Daily videos provide insights and betting information on the day’s biggest sporting events. Betting Guides - Educational videos, tutorials and how-to’s for all betting skills from beginners to the advanced. Tarot Reading - A fun free-to-play game for users to get their fortune on different sports betting experiences. The site’s most noted content creator is a professional wrestler and sports broadcast talent Danielle Kamela. In addition to writing for BettingLadies.com, Kamela creates the site’s signature digital asset, the daily “Lady Locks” series, which posts to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. “What drew me to working with BettingLadies.com was Val’s vision to create an approachable, judgement free and inclusive community, built on educating and supporting the growth of women bettors across the country,” Kamela said. “As a fan and bettor of all sports, Lady Locks provides me the opportunity to be flexible in the content I create, moving seamlessly from NBA to MLB games and NFL games in the fall. I’m excited about the future of this site and giving a voice to women bettors.” In addition to Kamela, BettingLadies.com has plans to expand to more than a dozen featured personalities in the coming months. “Beyond the launch, our goal is to evolve BettingLadies.com to be synonymous with the betting experience for women. We’ll soon begin creating in-person regional betting events based on the growth of our community,” said Martinez. “We’re continually looking for new affiliate partners, as well as voices and creators, to scale and expand our content to new mediums, social platforms and sports. As a true first mover in this category, we see nothing but potential for the future of women sports bettors.” To learn more about the site and to sign up for the BettingLadies.com betting community, please visit BettingLadies.com.

Ripken Baseball

Ripken Baseball®, the leader in youth sports events and facilities, has acquired Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center in Sandusky, Ohio, located between Cleveland and Toledo. Known for creating lifelong family experiences, Ripken Baseball will operate next to one of the world's most acclaimed amusement parks Cedar Point. Ripken Baseball takes over the operation of Sports Force Parks beginning with the 2023 season, which is underway with over 50 tournaments on its schedule. The acquisition raises Ripken Baseball’s total number of youth sports complexes to six nationwide. The announcement confirms Ripken Baseball has expanded into sports beyond baseball and softball for the first time. Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center includes multi-purpose fields with the capacity of 11 baseball/softball synthetic turf diamonds or eight full-size soccer fields that are convertible to create up to 21 youth soccer fields, in addition to one ADA-accessible field for adaptive sports. The state-of-the-art playing surfaces allow the complex to host baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and youth football tournaments. “Adding Sports Force Parks to the Ripken Baseball family is significant on many levels,” said Michael Kenney, CEO of Ripken Baseball. “We now have an opportunity to bring a Big League experience to not only baseball and softball, but also soccer, lacrosse, and even football. The proximity of the complex is ideal for families looking for a complete entertainment experience with a world-class amusement park down the road at Cedar Point.” As part of the acquisition of Sports Force Parks, Ripken Baseball also assumes control of youth baseball tournament operator 17 Tournaments, and travel planner Oakwood Lodging Group. Named after the size of home plate, 17 Tournaments brings youth baseball tournaments to Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Ohio. Oakwood Lodging Group creates a seamless experience for youth teams traveling outside their home market to book hotels, flights, and other travel needs efficiently. “When my late friend, co-founder, and the vision behind Sports Force Parks, Brian Storm, first dreamed of entering the youth sports business, he endeavored to build parks where sports, family, and fun could bring people together,” said Mark Stalnaker, President of Sports Fields, Inc. “The model was built on the strong foundation that Ripken had already established for baseball but also added a variety of other sports such as soccer, softball, and lacrosse. Brian would be thrilled to see the growth opportunities that the industry leader Ripken Baseball can offer to Sports Force Parks employees as they are the backbone of the brand and have made the companies so successful.” Sports Fields, Inc. designed, built, and managed Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center, and also created Oakwood Lodging, and 17 Tournaments. Sports Fields, Inc. is one of the nation’s premier sports construction companies with a resume that includes designing and constructing The Ripken Experience ® Pigeon Forge, several fields at The Ripken Experience ® Aberdeen and The Ripken Experience ® Myrtle Beach, and over 100 fields for the Cal Ripken, Sr Foundation. In January 2023, Ripken Baseball announced Josh Harris and David Blitzer, via their respective family offices, completed a strategic investment in Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. Blitzer is a part-owner of the Cleveland Guardians, who are committed to supporting community initiatives with Ripken Baseball and Cooperstown All Star Village. “We welcome Ripken Baseball to the Northeast Ohio region,” said Cleveland Guardians VP of Communications and Community Impact Curtis Danburg. “We look forward to partnering with the Ripken Baseball family to create unique Major League level experiences for their athletes visiting their complex in Sandusky and Progressive Field.” About Ripken Baseball Ripken Baseball brings teammates, coaches, and families together through its Big League Experiences while teaching children how to play sports the right way – the Ripken Way.

NUTRACOLLAGEN® INTRODUCES NEW SPECIALTY VARIETIES OF THEIR POPULAR COLLAGEN COFFEE

NutraCollagen

Grand Rapids, MI based Advanced Protein Technology, which has been in the collagen business since 2004 introduces new buzz worthy variations of its widely popular classic; COLLAGEN COFFEE with three new incredibly nutritious and delicious flavors; Salted Caramel, Chai Latte, and Mocha Hazelnut under the NutraCollagen ® brand. The NutraCollagen ® brand first introduced the world to Collagen Coffee in 2017, when the growing trend of adding collagen to coffee as a “health & beauty” type of creamer first began as a trend. Collagen’s benefits, like supporting healthy hair, skin, nails, joints, and bones are best met when consumed daily, and what better way to work that consumption into a routine than to combine it with that daily cup (or two) of coffee. Coffee, of course has been proven to have several health benefits of its own. Nothing made better sense at the time than pairing this duo of superfood together. The idea seemed obvious to the team at NutraCollagen ® and the first premixed Collagen Coffee was born. Premium, real Columbian Coffee, micro ground and instantized, then blended with Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides derived from grass-fed bovine. To make this Collagen Coffee beauty blend even more of an ultimate boost for health, wellness, and pick-me-up energy, MCT from coconut oil was added to provide a source of healthy fats that act as an instant source of energy for the body and the brain. Easy-to-use, all of the Collagen Coffee flavor varieties are instantized to prepare effortlessly with hot water without clumping, or simply to infuse collagen into your coffee, or add to any recipe or beverage that you may want to have a coffee flavor and nutritional boost. Also great for refreshing cold shakes and smoothies! Collagen Coffee can also be used to make ice cream, sauces, creamers, cookies, cakes, etc. There is no limit to what you can make! Each COLLAGEN COFFEE smooth and creamy blend has been scientifically crafted to be well-balanced with the highest-quality collagen peptides and a rich blend of real coffee to come out perfectly light and creamy. One serving of Collagen Coffee provides 10-11g of Premium Protein with 11-12g of Collagen Peptides from grass fed bovine. The formulas range from 60-90 calories, contain either 0g to 1g Sugar, are non-GMO, Gluten-free and support KETO and low-carb diets. Best of all, real coffee is used in the COLLAGEN COFFEE blends, naturally providing 40mg of caffeine. Enough to give a much-needed lift without an unwanted lift-off!

Basically, if you want to lose weight with diabetes meds, you are only gonna find GLP-1 receptor agonists. Tirzepatide is one of a kind since it also affects GIP. But the real deal with Mounjaro is that it's great for shedding some extra pounds as it works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Apparently, these drugs make you feel full for longer by slowing down your digestion, according to research. Click to view pricing on cheaper alternatives to Mounjaro in stock Losing Weight with Mounjaro: A Beginner's Guide Mounjaro is available in the form of pre-filled single-use Tirzepatide injector pens, dude. After you use a pen once, you just toss it in the bin. These Mounjaro injector pens come in six different strengths!

Whether you're using Mounjaro to handle your type-2 diabetes or for weight loss, all you need is one shot a week and you're good to go! It is injected right under the skin, not in a muscle or vein or anything crazy like that. Most folks who use Mounjaro prefer sticking it in their belly 'cause it's easier, but you can also do it in your arms or thighs if you're up for it. Mounjaro helps to keep your blood sugar levels in check and fight against insulin resistance. They made it to help deal with diabetes and blood sugar levels. Who can benefit from Mounjaro?

Side Effects of Mounjaro Mounjaro tends to mess with your tummy the most. Here are some of the side effects of Mounjaro that you can experience.

Well, some folks might have side effects like these, but some wouldn't. It's different for everyone. All prescribed medicines work in the same way. Unfortunately, those GLP-1 receptor agonists come with some serious health issues to worry about. The Mounjaro website is pretty upfront about it - they've put all the information out there. So, there has been a lot of debate about whether GLP-1 receptor agonists can lead to thyroid cancer for a while now, but a new study published in Diabetes Care this year has some pretty concerning findings. So, after digging deep into this study, it turns out that using GLP-1 RA for 1-3 years can up your risk for thyroid cancer, including medullary thyroid cancer. Read: Best Weight Loss Supplements In Canada Is Mounjaro worth it for shedding some extra pounds? Thyroid cancer is one of the rare side effect but the worst side effect ever. There are some other possible side effects of Mounjaro also. But since not everyone will experience the same side effects, you can try out Mounjaro. A safer option would be to use one of the OTC supplements discussed above. Pros This could totally help you curb your hunger pangs and shed some pounds. You only have to take it once a week and you are done. Cons This may not be your cup of tea if you're not a fan of needles. That's a pricey way to shed those pounds. Mounjaro Weight Loss Alternative - Conclusion Mounjaro represents one of the most recent medicinal treatments aimed at managing the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. It is a pharmaceutical product that has been commercialized under a specific trademark, namely Tirzepatide. Similar to Ozempic and Wegovy, Mounjaro is administered via a weekly self-injection, as prescribed. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that while Ozempic is dispensed through a multi-shot pen, Mounjaro does not share the same mode of administration. It is provided in individual-dose pens. Although Mounjaro is not indicated for weight management, diabetic patients administered with it frequently report significant reduction in body weight. Empirical evidence is suggestive of the efficacy of Mounjaro in promoting weight reduction, albeit within confined parameters. It is not unexpected to note that certain physicians are inclined to endorse the administration of Mounjaro, albeit off-label, as a viable therapeutic measure for combating obesity. Similar to numerous pharmacological interventions for weight loss and diabetes, Mounjaro showcases a plethora of established adverse effects. Additionally, it can potentially evoke significant health hazards, such as pancreatitis and thyroid cancer. It is a potential downside that some overweight individuals may not be inclined to acknowledge. Armed with this knowledge, you would be better off using a natural OTC supplement that can give you the same benefits as Mounjaro but minus the side effects.

Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder to Criticize Warren Buffett and Bill Gates for Politicized Philanthropy

National Legal & Policy Center

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is the sponsor of a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder proposal to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO. On April 21, we filed a proxy memo in support of our resolution, explaining why we believe the succession plan is inadequate and that the company should be less identified with Warren Buffett’s politics. Here is the statement NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty plans to make at the Berkshire annual meeting on Saturday, April 6 in Omaha, Nebraska: I am Peter Flaherty, Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center. If we had an independent chair, the Company would be less identified with Mr. Buffett’s political activities. He’s donated more than $100 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As Bill Gates explained when the couple was still together, “ although the foundation bears our names, basically half our resources have come from Warren Buffett.” If “woke” culture is a disease, then philanthropy is the virus. The Gates Foundation bankrolls the teaching of Critical Race Theory around the country, including that math is inherently racist. The Gates Foundation offers a Gender Identity Toolbox, which asserts that gender is the result of “socially and culturally constructed ideas.” This is a lie. Gender is not a cultural construct. It is a genetic and biological fact. We know how much Bill Gates cares about children. He met and traveled with Jeffrey Epstein MANY times AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex crimes. The Gates Foundation had a huge influence over the COVID response fiasco. Bill Gates defended China’s COVID policies and still discounts the possibility that the virus originated from a lab, even though U.S. intelligence agencies disagree. The Gates Foundation may be the largest single donor to the “dark money” machine known as Arabella Associates which funds causes like defunding the police that are making American cities unlivable. Money goes, too, to groups conducting threatening and vulgar protests at their homes of Supreme Court Justices. Mr. Buffett has quietly funneled more than $4 billion to groups supporting abortion on demand through the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation. That’s $4 billion, with a B. Advocacy disguised as philanthropy. Bill Gates has lamented political polarization and even worried aloud about a civil war. But it is billionaires who are funding the most shrill and extreme activists who are tearing our country apart. Ironically, Mr. Buffett has pointed out that corporate executives can make a lot of people mad when they insert themselves into controversy. Anheuser-Busch is finding that out. It cannot renounce its Dylan Mulvaney transgender promotion because it is handcuffed by its longtime support for activists who would turn on them in a minute. Anheuser-Busch gets a perfect grade on the Human Rights Campaign scorecard, as do Berkshire portfolio companies like Coca-Cola, Bank of America, and Apple. Bank of America and Apple help bankroll this group, which wants biological men to compete in women’s sports. Worse, it is currently pressuring state legislatures to allow sex change operations on children, and to keep their parents out of the decision. Let’s revisit Coca-Cola, which I discussed at last year’s meeting. CEO James Quincey, a British citizen, tried to kill Georgia’s voter integrity law in 2021 by making inaccurate and inflammatory statements about it. That’s the law that President Biden called “Jim Crow 2.0,” and which prompted Major League Baseball to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta. Mr. Buffett jumped on the bandwagon, too, by signing a statement by corporate leaders suggesting that Republicans seek to restrict ballot access based on race. Two years later, we can now evaluate that accusation. Last year, an election was held in Georgia. Turnout was record breaking. According to an independent poll, 99% of voters said they had “no problem” casting ballots. 92% said the new law either had no impact on their ability to vote or made it easier. James Quincey was wrong, and Mr. Buffett, so were you. ### To schedule an interview with Peter Flaherty, please contact Dan Rene at drene@nlpc.org or Jackie Jones at jackie@truthpr.com Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action.

GBB Drink Lab Files $53M Lawsuit Against FSD Pharma for Nondisclosure Contract Breach and Trade Secret Misappropriation

GBB Drink Lab

GBB Drink Lab (“GBB” or the “Company”), maker of the world’s first formulated drink that aids in rapid blood alcohol detoxification, has announced that the Company has filed a lawsuit against FSD Pharma (NASDAQ: HUGE) (“FSD”), a publicly traded biotechnology company that operates in the pharmaceutical research and development business. As a result of FSD Pharma’s failure to comply with a Cease-and-Desist letter sent by GBB on April 14 th, 2023, the Company has subsequently filed a $53 million complaint for material breach of a mutual nondisclosure agreement and trade secret misappropriation. Filed on May 1 st, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the complaint alleges that after seven months of exploring a business opportunity of mutual interest and benefit revolving around GBB’s blood alcohol detoxification drink, FSD Pharma publicly announced the misappropriation of GBB’s trade secrets to current and prospective investors in one of its press releases. In the press release, FSD Pharma discussed the launch of a new research and development program targeting unmet medical needs for alcohol misuse and deliberately omitted the underlying misappropriation.
