Lawrence "Larry" Atchison, a man diagnosed with dementia has been missing since February 27th, 2023, and local authorities stumped. Larry walked out of his home in Santa Rosa, CA, and he has not been seen since. “This is the longest search we’ve had in years,” said Sonoma County Sheriff’s Deputy Rob Dillion. “We don’t have any information as to where he might be, or where he’s gone. We have nothing now going into our third week”. Atchison’s disappearance remains a mystery despite multi-agency search and rescue efforts on land and from the air. Almost Immediately after his disappearance law enforcement, emergency personnel, and search and rescue began to extensively comb the area for any sign of the missing man. Helicopters and drones were deployed. Including a passionate widespread community, looking for any sign of the at-risk elder. "How can a man walk out of his home in such a densely populated neighborhood, and only get captured by a couple home surveillance cameras". said Larry's son-in-law and New York City iHeart radio personality Sean "Hollywood" Hamilton. "With such a tragic aliment, he still continued to smile and never once heard him complain. Our family is determined to find him”. Mrs. Atchison created a Facebook page where the community all gathers in their continuing search for her husband. LINK: Finding Lawrence (aka "Larry") Atchison in Santa Rosa Larry was diagnosed with dementia approximately three years ago. He is married to Cecilia Mariana Gachet-Atchison, who is tirelessly involved in the search taking place 24/7. Atchison is 64-years-old and reportedly 6’0” weighing 190 pounds. His hair is grey, his eyes are brown, and he was last seen wearing a black Columbia jacket without a hood, dark blue jeans, and black slip-on shoes. Law enforcement reported that due to his dementia, he “does not know how to navigate his way around the city and will not know how to return home”. According to the the Alzheimer's Association more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million. 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia. It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. In 2020, COVID-19 contributed to a 17% increase in Alzheimer's and dementia deaths. The Santa Rosa California and state-wide Police Departments asks that if anyone has information about Atchison or sees him to call (707) 528-5222 or 911.

Shareholder Activist: Entire Disney Board Presided Over Last Year’s Disaster and Does Not Deserve Re-election

National Legal & Policy Center

National Legal and Policy Center, a shareholder in The Walt Disney Company, is calling upon investors in the company to take the extreme step of voting to oppose the entire slate of nominees for the board of directors, all of whom are carryovers that presided over the entertainment giant’s worst year since the 1970s. That’s right – after Disney emerged from a disastrous 2022 that saw extremists take control of their programming, the degradation of its valuable intellectual and creative properties, and the worst performance of its stock price since 1974, all the existing directors (minus one) have decided that each of them deserves to return to their company oversight roles. The Disney annual meeting is on April 3. NLPC is sponsoring Proposal No. 5, which asks the board to produce a report that identifies and itemizes the company’s risks from its extensive business ties to China. NLPC also issued an extensive memorandum for shareholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, that outlines why the directors – including CEO Robert Iger – don’t deserve another term after Disney’s dysfunctional 2022, in which they extended the contract of former CEO Bob Chapek mid-year, only to terminate him within five months. The report also highlights several concerns pertaining to the company’s exposure in communist China. Following are excerpts from the memorandum to shareholders that was filed at the SEC on Wednesday: Disney – with its wealth of creative intellectual properties, automatic revenue generators at theme parks all over the planet, and nearly recession-proof entertainment- and media-delivery mechanisms – has seen an inexplicable decline in shareholder returns compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. As of January 10, 2023, the Company’s share price fell short against the Wall Street measuring stick over one year (by 24 percent), three years (by 60 percent), five years (by 66 percent), and ten years (by 116 percent). By March 15, 2023 – the date of the filing of this report with the SEC – the share price had descended even lower. Only two years ago Disney stock traded at its eight-year peak – $197.16 – and over the course of 2022, its value dropped by 44 percent. It was the worst year for the Company’s stock since 1974… The Company has squandered, wasted, devalued and ruined much of its content and beloved brands with the pursuit of a far-left political agenda – known in current-day parlance as “wokeness.” For that and because of those poor business decisions, we call for an overhaul of the current board, and also seek support for our own proposal (“Report on Operations Related to China”)…. Disney’s executive suite and its Board have allowed its signature brands and its once-beloved properties to become infected with divisive political agendas…. This is untenable for a Company that built its reputation on family-friendly programming and offerings, if it hopes to continue to attract a broad swath of viewers and customers…. While Disney was more than willing to go to battle (with Mr. Iger’s blessing) against Florida over the parental rights bill that opponents falsely nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the Company proactively waved the surrender flag in order to access TV audiences in the Muslim world….The Company only cares to “fight” for LGBTQ+ rights where they are free to do so. Otherwise, Disney is perfectly happy to bend its “principles” at the behest of dictators and oppressors in pursuit of revenues…. Mr. Iger has come under criticism for his succession planning…. Shareholder Abigail Disney (whose politics largely align with Mr. Iger’s), granddaughter of Company co-founder Roy O. Disney and grandniece of Walt, told Time in November, “The bottom line is that this was very poor succession planning and the onus of that has to land squarely on Bob Iger’s shoulders as well as the shoulders of the board of directors.” She also said, “I hope it triggers some reflection at the board level because ultimately, this is the board’s job, to hire and fire CEOs. I hope to see something better happening next time around. I hope Bob [Iger] has one foot out the door. The brand is taking a terrible beating right now for a lot of reasons….” “Disney shareholders may think we’re crazy for asking that they oppose the entire board’s re-election, but all the vote means is that it is a statement of no-confidence,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “After the company’s catastrophic 2022 and the persistent mundane performance of its share price, the current directors have failed miserably. A signal from shareholders would force them to revisit their board makeup and tell them to refresh their ranks.” You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal on China risks at its website, and the full memorandum to Disney shareholders at the SEC website. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

How to use Free Bet Offers on Cheltenham Festival Day 3 There has never been a “free” offer that didn’t come with strings attached, and Free Bet Offers for New Customers for Cheltenham Festival Day 3 are no exception. Let’s look at some of those conditions in depth. Deposit restrictions: Online bookmakers want customers to use the most straightforward deposit methods possible. These days that means debit cards. With that in mind, don’t be surprised if a Cheltenham Free Bet Offer requires you to make your initial deposit using a debit card. If that’s the case choosing another method for your first deposit will disqualify you, and there will not be a second chance to take advantage of the offer. So read the fine print. Minimum deposit amount: Unfortunately, you can’t just provide an email and some personal information to get Free Bets. If you want free bets for Cheltenham Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 or Day 4, you will need to deposit a minimum amount specified by the bookmaker into your new account after you open it. Fortunately, the deposit requirement is usually pretty modest. Something in the 5 to 20 range. The qualifying bet: If you read through our list of the Best Cheltenham Bookmaker Offers for Day 3, you kept bumping into the term “qualifying bet”. The qualifying bet, in this case, is the first bet you place after you open your account. That wager must be of a certain minimum size, be placed on a selection with certain minimum odds and be placed within X number of days after opening the account. Expiry: There are a few different expiration dates that are usually associated with a Free Bet Offer. For instance, as we just mentioned, you’ll usually have to place your qualifying bet within a certain number of days after opening your account. Also, Free Bets often expire within a week or two of being issued. And when it comes to some Cheltenham Festival Free Bet Offers, they can only be used during the 4 days of the festival. Sport limitations: In some instances, your qualifying bet must be made on a specific sport. For Cheltenham Free Bet Offers, that often means horse racing. In that case, if you were to place your first bet on football, you would lose the ability to claim the Free Bet Offer. Also, some bookmakers will only allow you to use the Free Bets themselves on specific sports. Wagering requirements: Wagering requirements are the bane of most punters’ existence. The idea is that before you can withdraw winnings earned using a Free Bet, you need to wager X times the Free Bet amount on the sportsbook. Often within a specific period of time. The good news here is that wagering requirements for sportsbook Free Bets are not usually as large as they are for casino bonuses. Promo codes: In order to claim some Cheltenham Free Bet Offers, you will need to enter a promo code during the sign-up process. If this is the case, there will be a box provided to enter the code somewhere on the application form. Make sure you learn what the code is and that you enter it when prompted. Failing to do so will disqualify you from the Free Bet Offer. Maximum win: The maximum win limitation is not something that needs to be invoked very often. But most sportsbooks keep them in place anyway, just in case some prescient punter takes an ultra-long shot gamble, and it pays off. Typically, a maximum win amount will be 100,000 or more.

The Stayers’ Hurdle was first run in 1912, with the winner receiving 100. This year’s iteration offers 325,000 in prize money, with 182,878 going to the winner. For the past 2 years, Flooring Porter, with Danny Mullins on board, has taken the win and the team will be back in 2023 to see if they can complete the hat trick. The Stayers’ Hurdle usually attracts a large field, so be sure to look for Extra Places among the offers on the Best New Betting Sites for Day 3. Cheltenham Festival 2023 Day 3 FAQs Can I Live Stream the Cheltenham Festival? There is Cheltenham Festival live streaming available from a number of UK horse racing betting sites, including bet365, Paddy Power and BetUK. Why aren’t all Cheltenham Free Bet Offers the same? Bookmakers formulate their Cheltenham Free Bet Offers in a way they feel sets them apart from their competitors. When it comes to the Best New Betting Sites for Day 3, they don’t have the deep pockets more established sites have. So their offers will usually be more modest. What happens when someone wins a bet placed with a Free Bet? They will receive their winnings like they would with a regular bet, but the Free Bet stake will not be returned to them. They may also need to satisfy some minimum wagering requirements before they can withdraw any winnings produced by a Free Bet. Is there a minimum bet for the Cheltenham Festival? No. The only time you will see a minimum bet amount imposed is when a promotion or bonus offer is in play. If you’re betting with your own money, most sites will let you wager as much or as little as you want. Can Free Bets be cashed out? No, Free Bets cannot be cashed out. In some cases, a bookmaker will refund your losses up to X amount in the form of cash that can be withdrawn. But those offers are pretty rare. What happens if I use my Free Bet and I lose? If you bet on a horse using a Free Bet and that horse loses, the Free Bet credit will be erased from your account. Contact Details Acroud Media info-media@acroudmedia.com

American Center for Cures Co-Founder Appointed by President Biden to National Cancer Advisory Board

The American Center for Cures

The American Center for Cures (ACC) today announced its long-time partner and co-founder Dr. Richard Boxer has been selected by President Joseph Biden to the National Cancer Advisory Board. In this role, Dr. Boxer will use his years of medical expertise to help guide the Director of the National Cancer Institute in the development of the organization’s national cancer research. Along with venerated entrepreneur Lou Weisbach, Dr. Boxer co-founded the ACC as a bipartisan initiative that aims to unite medicine, science, pharmaceuticals, business, and government to seek out new treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, mental diseases, many forms of cancer, and several others. “Richard Boxer and I have worked together on this important endeavor for more than a decade. It’s an honor to see him elevated to the National Cancer Advisory Board,” said Lou Weisbach, CEO and Co-Founder of ACC. “I’ve been working in a bipartisan way with leaders of both parties and the quote from Tom Price, former Secretary of Health, tells you all you need to know about our mission: ‘When this plan is approved it will rival the greatest achievements in US history and offer the sense of urgency that all American families yearn for and deserve when battling disease.’” Dr. Boxer, a UCLA Clinical Professor and Co-Founder of the American Center for Cures added: “I’ve dedicated my professional career to compassionate and uncompromising care for cancer patients and educating the public and the medical community and preventing and curing disease is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on. As a practicing urologist treating cancer patients and cancer survivor myself, the mission of the ACC and my role in its success is very personal.” Dr. Boxer, a Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, himself a three-time cancer survivor, has been practicing medicine for 44 years, caring for more than 7,000 patients with cancer and tens of thousands of patients with other illnesses. He represented the U.S. at the World Health Organization as a private citizen, a finalist for Surgeon General of the United States in both a Democratic and Republican Administration, and he was recently on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conquer Cancer Foundation. Dr. Boxer has published nearly 100 journal articles and book chapters on medical research and has also written extensively on health policy in national press outlets. He helped create the initial clinical protocols for telemedicine, becoming the Chief Medical Officer of numerous telemedicine companies. In April 2021, he was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award by the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School, its highest honor. “This is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on, whether they be black or white, rich or poor, Democrat or Republican,” declared Weisbach. “With kudos to all medical breakthroughs of the past, we still haven’t gotten the job done in a business-like fashion as a nation when it comes to prevention and cures. That ends today. We are not asking congress or both parties to move forward on this initiative, we are insisting that it be passed unanimously. This issue impacts all 335 million Americans in the same way, including everyone in The White House, as well as members of Congress and their families. If we cannot unite on this issue as Americans, then I submit there are no issues on which we can unite.” About American Center for Cures The American Center for Cures (ACC) initiative is a fully funded mission to prevent, treat or cure diseases that plague every American family. The initiative will be funded by the sale of $750B bonds by the Federal Reserve, providing the capital needed to accelerate the current trajectory of medicine. Annual interest will be paid through the licensing of new compounds and drugs to pharmaceutical companies. The principal will be repaid by savings provided to the United States Government through successes in the areas of prevention and cures. The ACC business model will cost the government and taxpayers nothing, making this the single most impactful investment on behalf of the American people in the nation’s history.

NuggMD Launches Leading Marijuana Telemedicine Service in Georgia

NuggMD

NuggMD, the nation's leading medical marijuana telemedicine platform, has launched its service in Georgia. For $139, Georgians can now use NuggMD’s platform to connect with a medical professional who can recommend cannabis for treatment of the state’s qualifying conditions. The launch comes amid a tense political, legal, and regulatory climate in Georgia for cannabis businesses and consumers. In 2019, Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law HB 324, which legalized low-THC medical cannabis oil in the state. However, that law has yet to be successfully implemented, with only two production facilities having been awarded licenses in the subsequent four years. While newly proposed legislation, HB 196, seeks to allow more cannabis licenses, its political fate is uncertain. Additionally, Georgia remains one of the dwindling states that still impose jail time for simple possession of unlicensed cannabis. Despite lacking a single legal cannabis dispensary and the fact that no provision in Georgia law suggests how a patient might lawfully obtain cannabis, an estimated 25,000 medical cannabis patients currently reside in Georgia, and the overall demand for legal cannabis is far greater. Alex Milligan, co-founder and CMO of NuggMD, said, "Georgia still has unfair criminal statutes for the simple possession of cannabis, which runs counter to the 2019 law that legalized some forms of the substance. As one of the only services Georgians can rely on to lawfully access cannabis, the irony of this contradiction is not lost on us. One way or another—and in accordance with state law—the availability of legal cannabis will soon be a reality in Georgia. We’ve expanded our operations there so that Georgians can prepare for this eventuality by receiving cannabis recommendations from credible, licensed medical professionals.” NuggMD's platform is available from 8 am until 10 pm local time, seven days a week. No appointment is needed, and patients who are deemed not to qualify for Georgia's medical cannabis program won't be charged for their evaluation. Since its founding in 2015, NuggMD has helped more than 1,000,000 patients access medical marijuana in nearly half of the nation's states. About NuggMD NuggMD is the nation's leading medical marijuana technology platform, serving patients in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. They've connected over 1,000,000 patients face-to-face with their new medical marijuana doctors via their state-of-the-art telemedicine platform. They believe every human being has the right to explore the benefits of medical cannabis and are fully committed to helping each patient explore every option in their journey to wellness.

WagerWire Launches Media Network

WagerWire

WagerWire, a first-of-its-kind marketplace for active sports bets, announced today that it has formally launched it’s media division in tandem with a new Community Page on its website, which will be home to unique insights, viewpoints and written commentaries created by members of its rapidly growing community. The site will also host proprietary tools like its “Bet Value Calculator,” which instantly calculates the fair market value of any bet. The mantra of WagerWire’s Community is to create content “for fans, by fans.” Through a platform built on mutual support between creators, @WagerWire attracted a talented and rapidly expanding base of micro-influencers bringing tens of millions of impressions per month to the brand’s platform. The company’s newly launched Community Page hosts video, audio and written content covering game previews and recaps, hot storylines in sports, wild betting action, and fan pontifications. WagerWire’s live Twitter Spaces shows have a fresh spontaneous quality, with Hall of Fame athletes regularly making surprise pop-ins, such as recent guests Lavar Arrington, Cardale Jones, Ed Latimore, and more. During these audio shows, community members interview athletes and other notable personalities in the sports industry about their careers, and discuss insights and stats, while swapping sports takes and betting picks. WagerWire’s current slate includes “Executive Football Talk” hosted by former NY Jets General Manager Mike Tennenbaum and legendary sports executive David Meltzer, multiple NBA, NHL and MLB shows, as well as the “Mental Health Zone” and “Queen’s Round Table.” The company is also rolling out their Bet Value Calculator tool engineered with their proprietary technology to show users the real market value of their bet, and allowing them to compare these values to the cash out offer from their sportsbook. WagerWire logs this data to chart the pulse of the landscape. They have found users regularly reporting cash out offers in the 50% range of market value, which they feel further demonstrates the need for a free and open marketplace. WagerWire is also leveraging its in-house data team to supercharge content generation by finding narratives within the numbers, turning each bet into a story. The WagerWire community has quickly grown to over 20,000 active participants and become one of the most engaged communities on social media. So far in 2023 their Twitter has garnered 8.5M impressions and 2,100 daily profile visits. Their TikTok videos have captured 500k views and 75k likes in the first two weeks of March alone. “The new movement in social media is all about community,” said WagerWire’s content manager Nick Davis, known as @spoonofzeke on Twitter. “Recent years have isolated sports fans and bettors and sent them to the internet in search of something. What we have found is that users are looking for mutual engagement. We have put a significant amount of time into the community letting them know that we see them, we want to know more about them and we want to elevate their content.” The network is headed up by WagerWire's Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) Travis Geiger. Prior to co-founding WagerWire, Geiger graduated from the UCLA film school and spent more than a decade in Hollywood TV and film production. “The current sports betting media landscape is uninspiring for sports fans and bettors. The status quo is basically a stale sea of so-called experts telling people what to do. WagerWire is disrupting this monotony by injecting some democracy,” Geiger said. “People want to be invited to be a part of something. They want to engage and to be engaged with. They crave an interactive and honest way to connect with the brands with whom they choose to spend their time and money.” Geiger sees a unique opportunity for the company to educate and empower the millions of people who will begin their gambling journey over the next few years as the tidal wave of legalization continues. “When it comes to educating bettors, sportsbooks have an inherent conflict of interest in the eyes of the public -- because they’ve built their empires on losses,” Geiger said. “WagerWire is different. We are proud to have been embraced by sports fans and bettors of all experience levels. We are excited to platform the explosive creativity of our grassroots community across all mediums including our app and newly launched site.” WagerWire first came onto the scene when announcing its seed round in July 2022 from the likes of Miami Marlins co-owner Roger Ehrenberg (IA Sports Ventures and Eberg Capital), Betr & Simplebet founder Joey Levy, and NBA All-Star Richard Jefferson, among others.

WagerWire empowers you to take control of your actions and view your bets as a portfolio of assets that can be bought and sold at any time. Seamlessly sync your favorite sportsbooks to track the real-time value of your bets, stack rewards, and play with celebrities or friends.
