FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Apple Rush Company, Inc.

Apple Rush Company, Inc. (Otcpink:APRU), a leading player in the functional beverage industry, proudly announces it has cleared up final details of brand ownership with Bob Corr and Corr Brands, Inc. Tony Torgerud, CEO of Apple Rush, has negotiated a historical closing on the rights and trademarks of Corr Brands, Inc. In the transaction, Bob Corr has agreed to transfer the rights of the Corr Brands, Inc. trademarks and to forgo any royalties from previous agreements to give Tony and Apple Rush the best opportunity to succeed moving forward. Tony Torgerud said, “I have been negotiating for a year with Bob and he finally felt it was time to work out an agreement that would benefit everyone. Over the next couple months, all the required paperwork will be filed for transference and updates on all intellectual property held by Corr Brands, Inc. Not having to pay royalties will add thousands to the bottom line.” This agreement solidifies the future of the “Rush” family of brands that have been in the market since 1972. Bob Corr stated, “I want to see Apple Rush succeed and I feel the timing is right to get this deal done. I retired a long time ago and it is now time to write the next chapters of this story and with Apple Rush having its own production capabilities and its own tunnel pasteurizer, it is an opportunity that shouldn’t be wasted.

Apple Rush has held a license for 13 states and International distribution for the last 8 years and now owns the IP without paying the $5,000 per state license, another bottom line gain for all of our stockholders.

NAVEX Announces Global Whistleblower Regulatory Compliance Management

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced the launch of its Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) solution. It helps organizations easily navigate and adhere to international whistleblowing compliance rules and regulations in all geographies where they operate – thus avoiding hefty fines and potential impact to business reputation. Whistleblowing is the first of many regulations to be covered, RCM will expand its offering to include other international directives and legislations. With the emergence of large-scale whistleblower regulations such as the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and the Whistleblower Protection Act, multinational organizations face an even tougher challenge staying compliant and up to date with guidelines. NAVEX RCM will be invaluable to companies wishing to assess and analyze restrictions, requirements, and/or guidelines related to whistleblowing regulations across global jurisdictions. This includes intake methods, notice and consent requirements, reportable issue types, availability of anonymity, and other unique intake, data privacy, and incident management considerations. Prior to NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, organizations either assigned employees or paid lawyers a significant sum to track requirements painstakingly and manually. This resulted in hours spent understanding the information gathered on an ad hoc basis, whilst simultaneously balancing and updating internal policies. With NAVEX’s RCM solution, highly skilled subject matter experts will personally assess updates and provide tailored guidance on how to address regulatory changes. They will also offer continued insights and recommendations via an automated platform to empower customers to make informed and strategic decisions. Organizations with global operations gain access to the knowledge and expertise necessary to meet or exceed complex international compliance requirements, thereby reducing risk while reinforcing oversight responsibility. Unlike manual efforts, NAVEX RCM delivers information through an up-to-date web-based portal, rather than spreadsheets, PDFs, and Word documents. This platform enables customizable alerts and automatic notifications when information is updated. “By subscribing to Regulatory Compliance Management, changes are detailed directly in our software as countries update their legislation – all accessible from a centralized dashboard,” said NAVEX Chief Product Officer, A.G. Lambert. “NAVEX continually reviews regulations at the country level to help organizations remain compliant. When regulations are updated, the system will notify subscribed customers of the changes. Decisionmakers will then be able to assess these and update their existing incident management programs as required.” To learn more about NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, please read our blog or visit the product page here. NAVEX is trusted by thousands of customers worldwide to help them achieve the business outcomes that matter most. As the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software and services, we deliver solutions through the NAVEX One platform, the industry’s most comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) information system.

Bacula Announces New Features for HPC Backup and Recovery

Bacula Systems

Expanding its leadership in high security backup and recovery for HPC and demanding IT environments, Bacula Systems today announced new features designed specifi­cally for HPC customers. Bacula is also proud to announce partnerships with many of the in­dustry’s leading performance storage providers. "Bacula is the only solution capable of handling billions of files in extremely high-throughput applications. Bacula’s participation in the ISC Hamburg exhibition demonstrates its full commitment to helping HPC customers save time and considerable costs" said Gopal RajGuru, Bacula CEO. Enhancing Bacula’s exceptionally broad storage and Cloud compatibility, a new lock function has been added to align the immutable status of backup data with the backup retention configured in Bacula. Bacula’s Cloud Storage Class is now also configurable in Azure, Oracle and Google. This allows precise control over where to store each backup set, using any kind of criteria, directly from Bacula without touching the destination Cloud storage configuration. Bacula helps HPC customers automate complex tasks with a new Large Backup File Split feature, which speeds the back up of large numbers of files by splitting the work­load into concurrent backup processes in a simple, smart and automatic way. This saves HPC customers significant amounts of time for very large datasets, and Bacula automatically manages the backup to any file-server or NAS. “Bacula also reduces the possibility of human error by eliminating the need for a configura­tion update process. This is particularly useful when many users create complex folder struc­tures with lots of different files where the distribution of the data varies dynamically in an unpredictable way” said Jorge Gea, CTO of Bacula Systems. Partnerships: Bacula is also delighted to announce a number of new strategic partnerships with the most high-performance and secure storage specialists to build on its growing momentum in the HPC industry, including: ExaGrid: ExaGrid provides Tiered Backup Storage with a unique disk-cache Landing Zone, long-term retention repository and scale-out architecture. ExaGrid’s Landing Zone provides for the fastest backups, restores, and instant VM recoveries. The Repository Tier offers the lowest cost for long-term retention. ExaGrid’s scale-out architecture includes full appliances and ensures a fixed-length backup window as data grows, eliminating expensive forklift up­grades and product obsolescence. ExaGrid offers comprehensive security and is the only two-tiered backup storage ap­proach with a non-network-facing tier, delayed deletes, and immutable objects to recover from ransomware attacks. Combined with the power of Bacula Enterprise, ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage provides a backup solution for HPC organizations with the highest performance, security, and scalability at the best price. Storj: Bacula has launched a strategic partnership with Storj, which delivers faster cloud object storage at 90% less cost than AWS S3 while dramatically reducing data’s carbon footprint. Storj achieves this by leveraging unused global storage space to create a highly-secure global network, eliminating the need for costly data centers and providing enterprise-level durability and high performance without data replication. With Bacula and Storj, businesses save up to 90% on cloud storage with increased security and lower costs. Storj Chief Revenue Officer Colby Wineger said, “Storj is very pleased to partner with Bacula to lower customers’ costs and upgrade enterprise data backup and recovery. Together we help to protect organizations from the problems of downtime and data breaches with a cost-effective approach and lighting-fast downloads.” SoftIron: SoftIron is a world-leader in true private cloud. Its superior, purpose-built hardware is designed, developed and manufactured in house, and it is the only manufacturer to offer auditable provenance. HyperCloud by SoftIron allows organizations to build a true private cloud on-premises that deploys, manages and consumes like public cloud. HyperCloud provides the elasticity of cloud in a solution that is fast and simple to deploy, driving extreme agility. Combined with Bacula, SoftIron’s solution is perfect for scalable backup and recovery. Backblaze: Backblaze makes it astonishingly easy to store, use, and protect data for various industries, including HPC customers. Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage provides an infinitely scalable foundation for researchers, businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals to build applications, host content, manage media, backup and archive data, and more. Backblaze and Bacula customers enjoy no minimum retention penalties, no egress fees, highly performant and secure cloud storage at dramatically lower prices. With over three billion gigabytes of data storage under management, the company currently works with more than 500,000 customers in over 175 countries. Wasabi Technologies: Recognized as one of the technology industry’s fasting growing companies, Wasabi is on a mission to store the world's data by making cloud storage affordable, predictable and secure. With Wasabi, visionary companies gain the freedom to use their data whenever they like without being hit with unpredictable fees or vendor lock-in.

Analyst's Bold SOL Forecast Grabs Headlines; KANG and DOGE Reign Supreme in the Meme Coin Space

Kangamoon

The crypto market was recently shaken after analyst Altcoin Sherpa made a bold Solana (SOL) price prediction. Meanwhile, KangaMoon (KANG) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are soaring in the meme coin space. In fact, numerous analysts claim that KANG, which is now in Stage 5 of its presale, could become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Today, we find out why. Altcoin Sherpa: The Solana Price Could Surge to $500 Solana (SOL) has been showing some volatility in the market. CoinMarketCap data shows that the price of SOL fell from $154 to $133 on the one-week chart. In that time, the Solana market cap also moved between $68B and $59B. However, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa remains bullish. In his new tweet, he predicts SOL's growth to $500 this year. From a technical analysis standpoint, this prediction could come true. For example, the Solana coin trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. As a result, experts have made a bullish Solana price prediction - reaching $177 before the end of Q2 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Among the Best Meme Coins To Buy As Solana steals all attention, other cryptos are still making headlines. KangaMoon (KANG) is one coin that has shone with its stellar presale performance. Notably, this meme coin has already raised over $6M and will reach $7M before May 2024 ends. There are now over 6K KANG holders and 20K registered community members. Evidently, global traders are interested in this meme coin since it will bring something new - utility. KANG will be the main in-game currency for KangaMoon's upcoming P2E game. With this meme coin, you can buy in-game items as well as upgrade characters. This utility immediately separates KANG from 99% of other meme coins, which are hype-driven only. Another aspect that makes KangaMoon different is its community-driven focus. For instance, KangaMoon rewards its most active community members with free KANG tokens before its launch. Thus, 20K members rush to like/share/comment on KangaMoon's social media posts and earn this meme coin for free. Early buyers of KANG have already experienced a 290% ROI as KANG costs $0.0196 in Stage 5 of its presale. But remember that KangaMoon has ties to the P2E gaming market, which may reach $885M by 2028. This means that KANG's long-term growth potential is outstanding. Experts foresee a 100x jump once this meme coin gets a Tier-1 CEX listing in Q2 of 2024. Analyst Kevin Makes a Bullish Dogecoin Price Prediction Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) is another meme coin that is seeing some bullish signs. For example, the Dogecoin volume has jumped 26% in the past week alone. In that period, the price of DOGE fluctuated between $0.15 and $0.13. Based on the historical performance, analyst Kevin predicts that this meme coin may soar to $3.80. The technical analysis for the Dogecoin crypto also shows bullish signals. For example, DOGE is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Thus, experts foresee a rise to $0.21 for Dogecoin within Q2 of 2024. Solana vs. KangaMoon vs. Dogecoin - Which One Rises First? In the battle between Solana, KangaMoon, and Dogecoin, the spotlight shines on KangaMoon. This is because KANG boasts a low market cap of $19.6M, hinting at its potential for explosive growth with fewer new funds needed for its price to skyrocket. If you want this meme coin, sign up for its presale and get a 10% bonus. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

USITC Issues Affirmative Preliminary Determination in Trade Case Against Imports of Ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia

U.S. Ferrosilicon Producers

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) preliminarily determined today that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia are causing material injury to the U.S. industry. All four Commissioners voted in the affirmative. The Commission’s unanimous vote comes in response to petitions filed on March 28 by CC Metals and Alloys, LLC (“CC Metals”) and Ferroglobe USA, Inc. (“Ferroglobe”), who together account for all American ferrosilicon production. The petitions allege that unfairly priced and subsidized ferrosilicon imports are injuring the U.S. industry and its workers. Ferrosilicon is a critical input used to produce steel and foundry products, making preservation of the American industry a matter closely related to significant national security priorities. “Producers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil are using predatory pricing practices to take market share from American producers. This distorts the market and puts American workers out of jobs,” said Marco Levi, Chief Executive Officer of Ferroglobe PLC. “Today’s vote is encouraging. It brings us one step closer to ensuring a level playing field.” On April 17, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated eight antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations into imports of ferrosilicon from Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil. "Today's vote validates the data in our petitions and questionnaires showing the serious harm inflicted by unfair imports," said Chris Cobb, Plant Manager of CC Metals and Alloys, Inc. " We applaud the USITC for taking this step toward restoring fair competition to the U.S. market and confidence to U.S. workers and consumers. We look forward to seeing our trade laws enforced.” Commerce is continuing its investigations and will make preliminary CVD determinations as early as June 2024 and AD determinations as early as September 2024. If the determinations are affirmative, provisional AD and CVD duties will be collected based on the preliminary margins calculated by Commerce and potentially applied retroactively. About the CC Metals and Ferroglobe CC Metals traces its roots back to 1949, when it was founded as a producer of large-volume commodity ferroalloys for the steel industry in Calvert City, Kentucky. Today CC Metals is an ISO 9001 certified leading manufacturer of more than 40 different products including 18 different ferrosilicons and more than 20 different magnesium ferrosilicon inoculants, high purity, 3%-9% magnesium and proprietary alloys. CC Metals ships over 100,000 metric tons of finished product annually from its manufacturing facility in Calvert City, KY via barge, rail and truck. Ferroglobe USA, Inc. is a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Ferroglobe PLC, a world leading producer of silicon metal and ferroalloys, serving a customer base across the globe in dynamic and fast-growing end markets, such as solar, automotive, consumer products, construction and energy. Through its subsidiaries, Ferroglobe operates metallurgical manufacturing facilities and mining sites in Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
