WASHINGTON, March 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the coming weeks, the Global Civil Resistance Coalition, an umbrella coalition of nine citizen groups including Fireproof Australia, Save Old Growth, Last Generation Germany, Dernière Rénovation, Last Generation Italy, Extinction Rebellion Norway, Renovate Switzerland, Declare Emergency, and Just Stop Oil, plans an unprecedented level of nonviolent disruption in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States to halt the climate and ecological emergency. This international uprising will include hunger strikes and other dramatic actions.

After a 1.2 degrees Celsius increase in global average temperatures, and with Russia waging the latest fossil-fueled war on its neighbor, ordinary people are taking action against mass starvation, mass displacement, and social collapse. These multiracial, multigenerational, and cross-class groups will go as far as it takes, nonviolently, to win. Some participants have been arrested multiple times in previous protests which included road blockages.

Each of the nine country groups has a different policy demand that is specific and broadly popular. For example, in the province of British Columbia, Canada, Save Old Growth is calling to halt logging of old-growth forest, a demand more than 80% of Canadians support.

The campaign will continue for several weeks.

Volunteers are welcome.

Just Stop Oil (UK)

Megan Bell from Save Old Growth in Canada says, “We have to get them to stop. I don’t want to do this, but I know I have to. We are in the midst of a climate crisis, and we have to act.”

Carla Hinrichs from the German group “Last Generation” says, “The government must stop all investment, support and building of fossil fuel projects worldwide. We must stop this fossil madness now. It is our duty.”  

Linda Edwards from Declare Emergency in the United States says: “I live in Rochester, New York. I’m a mother and retired college professor. I went down to D.C. and sat on the road for three days to call on President Biden to declare a climate emergency. And I’ll do it again and again and again until he does. I believe rebellion is the only thing that will work. I will not sit idly by while the future of all life on Earth needs my help. The time for action is now!”

Align Technology Launches New Invisalign System Innovations for Orthodontic and Restorative Dental Treatment Planning with Integration of CBCT into ClinCheck Treatment Planning Software

Digitally integrating Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan and intraoral scan data into ClinCheck treatment plans enables doctors to confidently expand diagnosis and treat a broader range of cases with Invisalign clear aligners

TEMPE, Ariz., March 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Align Technology, Inc. (“Align”) (Nasdaq: ALGN) a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign system of clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners, and exocad CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry today announced the new Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) integration feature for ClinCheck digital treatment planning software, a user-friendly tool that combines roots, bone, and crowns into a single three-dimensional model that enables doctors to visualize a patient’s roots as part of the digital treatment planning process. The CBCT integration feature helps doctors confidently expand diagnosis and treat a broader range of cases with Invisalign clear aligners by increasing visibility and control of a patient’s underlying anatomical structures during the digital treatment planning process.

“The integration of CBCT scan data into digital treatment planning gives doctors the control and confidence to leverage their expertise and expand treatment to all types of malocclusion, including ortho-restorative cases with implant site preparation, deciding upon different treatment planning options (such as expansion versus extraction), as well as teen cases to navigate impacted or unerupted teeth,” said Dr. Graham Gardner, an orthodontist in Richmond, Virginia. “Treatment planning using a patient’s real roots is a game changer. The amount of additional information and the insights it provides is transformational now that we can account for individual root and bone characteristics. The proactive treatment planning we do with Invisalign clear aligners makes it even better suited to integrate this, as we design the treatment plan upfront instead of reacting to its effects like we generally do with fixed appliances.”

“Align is proud to be at the forefront of digital orthodontics and dentistry, building an integrated platform of digital products and services that provide a seamless solution for doctors to efficiently and effectively treat their patients and build their practices,” said Raj Pudipeddi, Align Technology chief product and marketing officer, executive vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific. “In an easy-to-use interface, CBCT scan data is digitally fused with an intraoral scan resulting into a maneuverable 3D ClinCheck treatment plan model, thus making it convenient for doctors to tailor their treatment plans based on their patients’ needs. We are pleased to deliver a high-quality, automated feature that is easy for doctors to use and incorporate into their digital workflow. Our innovative technology delivers treatment plans with a highly intuitive user interface that allows doctors to provide the best possible care for their patients.”

“Using CBCT scan data integrated into the ClinCheck plan now allows me to see crown, roots, and underlying bone structure from different angles,” said Dr. Alain Souchet, an orthodontist in Mulhouse, France. “I can now visually see and take into account the location of impacted teeth, unerupted teeth for my teen patients, and root position of teeth for all my cases. Treatment planning is significantly easier now because I can leverage the power of the ClinCheck software and its many features, such as 3D controls for roots.”

The CBCT integration feature for ClinCheck treatment planning software is currently in technical design assessment (TDA) and will be scaled in phases across our customer population starting in the second half of 2022.

SINGAPORE, March 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Singapore-based GameFi ecosystem Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd. (DEA) today announced the launch of its newest blockchain game Cookin’ Burger – the fourth title and the first third-party game to be released within its PlayMining ecosystem.

Per the official statement, the beta version of Cookin’ Burger will be unveiled around May 2022. By design, Cookin’ Burger is a multi-tasking cooking game where users play the role of a burger shop staff member. Within the game, players will take orders from different customers and serve them quickly and correctly to increase their restaurant’s reputation. To celebrate the game’s launch, DEA has announced a presale of the game’s Shop NFT beginning March 18 at 11:00 (UTC+8). For more information on the NFTs on sale, please visit the special website.

Cookin’ Burger brings the simulated experience of managing a burger shop onto the blockchain. Even with its straightforward and intuitive gameplay, a specific learning curve will help players excel at the game. While playing the game, players are eligible to win in-game rewards via daily missions, weekend events, and monthly rankings. Based on each player’s in-game scores tallied across each season, Cookin’ Burger will distribute DEAPcoin (DEP) and other in-game rewards.

Players can own individual burger shops within the game by holding NFTs called “Shop NFT” or play without owning any shops. These Shop NFTs come with different upgrades and features, which, in turn, impact the overall rewards a player can earn. As the Shop NFTs are a crucial part of the Cookin’ Burger ecosystem, the upcoming presale of Shop NFTs will provide users with early access to a wide range of NFT combinations, ranging from categories, ranks, menus, and locations. For a detailed game overview of “Cookin’ Burger,” please click here.

PlayMining currently offers three games that were originally developed by the DEA team. Cookin’ Burger, developed by Burger Studio, is the platform’s first game developed and provided by an outside party, highlighting that DEA will continue to actively collaborate with third-party developers further to expand the selection of titles in the PlayMining ecosystem.

On being the first third-party project to join DEA’s PlayMining ecosystem, Burger Studio CEO Takafumi Kiyota notes, “PlayMining is a creator-friendly platform, so even a small team like ours was able to enter the market. We have designed this title to embody the dream of ‘running your own restaurant’ through this casual ‘cooking game.’ At the same time, we hope to offer a new ‘play-to-earn’ experience to everyone around the world.”

Enter the AZNVerse: A Unique 10,000 NFT Collection Representing a Global and Diverse Asian Community

AZNVerse is a community-driven project backed by Tokocrypto, Indonesia’s leading crypto asset exchange

JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Meet AZN’s 10,000 unique NFT characters, representing diverse Asian cultures around the world. Living on the BSC network, the NFTs are available in numerous designs, including notable and historical Asian figures, and come in four rarity tiers: Common (quantity:7.000), Uncommon (quantity:2.000), Rare (quantity:990) and Legendary (quantity:10). AZN NFT holders gain access to the exclusive CRAClub community and T-Hub, Asia’s first crypto community hub, initiated by Tokocrypto. Additionally, AZN holders will reap growing benefits and offerings aimed at helping them gain financial freedom.

NFT collectors can easily access AZN at aznverse.com as well as TokoMall, the NFT marketplace for Tokocrypto, Indonesia’s leading crypto exchange and ecosystem builder.

The Asians behind AZN
AZN NFT was born in the Asian community. Backed by Tokocrypto, our NFT collections represent unique Asian culture and heritage, both historical and modern. Tokocrypto tapped the TKOangels, a community of Tokocrypto’s native utility token advocates, to grow this original idea into an expansive NFT collection.

TKOangels offers the collection a unique perspective, especially as these angels have experienced firsthand the impact of crypto and NFTs on the Asian community. Together with Tokocrypto, TKOangels created NFT collections aimed at Asian representation and inclusion of the Asian diaspora in the NFT space.

“This project was born out of our drive to represent our rich cultural heritage as Asians,” said Eko, an AZN initiator and TKOangel. “With NFT as the medium, not only do we push for representation, but we also seek many more people to tap into NFT and dive deeper into its possibilities. With the support of Tokocrypto the benefits it offers will push for better financial literacy, ultimately leading us to financial freedom.”

By supporting AZN, Tokocrypto will help our community gain financial freedom. AZN holders can earn exclusive trading privileges, and rare-tiered AZN holders will have access to our inclusive crypto hub and coworking spaces established by Tokocrypto. The NFT collection has onboarded notable advisors from Indonesia’s NFT scene, such as Kevin Susanto and Tokocrypto’s executives.

“Tokocrypto has grown beyond being just Indonesia’s biggest crypto exchange, we have launched Asia’s first offline community hub, an NFT marketplace, and there is much more in the pipeline. AZN holders will be a part of this unique ecosystem that Tokocrypto is nurturing, alongside other players from the blockchain community. Financial inclusion is the end goal, and there is no better way to achieve this than via NFTs,” said Pang Xue Kai, CEO of Tokocrypto.

As we onboard more partners, AZNVerse will continuously expand its suite of perks for AZN NFT holders, in addition to its partnership with Tokocrypto. NFT collectors can purchase AZN NFTs at www.aznverse.com and www.galler.io, with the public sale scheduled for March 19, 2022. For more information head to AZN’s website and join Discord AZNVerse.
