The cross-country tour will include “Intercept” events, or the more traditional ride and drive experience at a set location and “Mastercraft” events, which will feature special events in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago, inviting Mazda owners to explore the “Mastercraft” behind a certain product or craft that aligns with the Mazda brand.

“Our goal is to engage our audience in an impactful way, in a location that’s convenient and familiar to them,” said Russell Wager, vice president of marketing for Mazda North American Operations. “By allowing our customers to engage with our brand and our vehicles in an environment that is fun and interactive, we create the opportunity for potential customers to experience our personality as a brand. Ultimately, we hope they have such a great time during their drive experience that they consider joining the Mazda family, when searching for their next vehicle.”

Participants of the “Intercept” component will be guided through the city on a quest to learn more about the vehicle and the unique Mazda driving experience. During the tour, participants will learn first-hand how a lighter vehicle can ultimately make the drive more fun; that safety features can enhance, and not overtake, the driving experience; how technology can help support the driving experience, not take away from it; and how Mazda’s Jinba Ittai driving philosophy directly translates to the driver’s everyday experience in the vehicle.

CX-5’s exterior draws in the eyes and never lets them go, honed in several new colors, including the lustrous Soul Red Crystal that brings a show-car-like finish to everyday drivers. Inside, the driver and passengers will notice a hushed cabin and smoother ride, thanks to an obsessive attention to detail and Mazda-exclusive technologies like G-Vectoring Control that uses the throttle and steering to smooth CX-5’s ride and build driver confidence. With all of the refinements, Mazda stayed focused on creating the best-driving vehicle in its segment—a hallmark of the Mazda brand and an area that further sets CX-5 apart from the competition.

May 1, 2017

ATLANTA, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”).

Wells Fargo denies the allegations, and the Court has not decided who is right. Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement.

You are included in the Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you received an Automatic Call regarding a Wells Fargo student loan account from April 21, 2011 to December 19, 2015.

Wells Fargo has agreed to create a $2,075,071.80 Settlement Fund. The Fund will be used to make cash payments to Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims and to pay Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs (up to $622,522), a $15,000 service award to each of the two Class Representatives, and settlement administration costs. Settlement Class Member’s payments are estimated to be between $20 and $50, but they will depend on the total number of approved claims that are filed.

To receive payment, you must complete and submit a valid Claim Form by July 31, 2017. If you received a Postcard Notice in the mail you may file a claim using the detachable Claim Form, or online or by phone using the Claim ID provided on the front of the card.

If you don’t want a payment from this Settlement, and you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Wells Fargo on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must request exclusion from the Settlement by sending a letter to the Claims Administrator by June 30, 2017. The letter requesting exclusion must contain the information set forth in the full Notice and in the Settlement Agreement, both are available at www.PratherWellsFargoTCPA.com. Unless you exclude yourself, you are choosing to stay in the Settlement and you are releasing Wells Fargo from the legal claims resolved by this Settlement.

Fuel Relief Fund Partners with the United Nations on Addressing Fuel Delivery Needs After Natural Disasters

April 28, 2017

Fuel Relief Fund Traveled to Ghana to Provide Expertise at One of the World’s Six Humanitarian Response Depots.

RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — When a major disaster strikes, one of the most critical resources to rescue and recovery is fuel. But fuel supply and access are often cut off during such life-threatening emergencies. Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) fills the crucial gap in the first phase of a disaster – fueling first responders and providing power to hospitals and emergency services to save lives and alleviate human suffering.

Photo – https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/495742/Fuel_Relief_Fund_Logo.jpg

Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) is the only Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that exists for the purposes of procuring and delivering fuel to vulnerable communities throughout the world.

Earlier this month, at the request of the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP), the Founder and CEO of FRF, Ted Honcharik, traveled to Ghana. The African country is home to one of the United Nations’ six strategically placed Humanitarian Response Depots designed to procure, store, and transport emergency supplies.

It’s the second time Honcharik and FRF have been asked by the WFP to provide expertise on what it takes to transport, store, and secure fuel around the globe – having done similar work on a “lessons learned” mission on the Yemen civil war.

Ted Honcharik explained, “We gave technical assistance on fuel inventory control, security, management and fuel automation. They saw that our team and board have the experience and skills, so they reached out to FRF. In Ghana, we hope to make their jobs a bit easier by improving internal fuel supply and control.”

A stable and safe fuel supply is life-critical after a disaster, because it’s needed to power search and rescue to locate victims and transport them to life-saving care; transport food, medicine, and pump and deliver clean water; provide light wherever and whenever it is needed; and provide emergency power supply to relief camps and hospitals where critical operations can be performed.

Through coordination between the FRF and the United Nations, improved fuel arrangements during times of disaster around the world can result in a more efficient and effective humanitarian response that will save lives in communities hurt by a natural disaster.

April 28, 2017

NEW YORK, April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

If You Purchased Solodyn and/or Its Generic Equivalent Partial Settlements of a Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights

Partial settlements have been reached in a class action lawsuit involving the antibiotic drug Solodyn. The lawsuit claims that Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., Impax Laboratories, Inc., Lupin Limited, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Sandoz Inc. (the “Defendants”) violated state competition (i.e. antitrust and consumer protection) and unjust enrichment laws by agreeing not to compete with each other and keeping lower-cost generic versions of Solodyn off the market. The Defendants deny this. No one is claiming that Solodyn is unsafe or ineffective.

WHAT DO THE SETTLEMENTS PROVIDE?

To settle the lawsuit, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Lupin Limited (“Lupin Defendants”) and Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) have each agreed: (a) that they would be willing to provide certain witnesses that Plaintiffs could call and a declaration that the Plaintiffs could use during the Solodyn case involving the overall End-Payor Class, other Plaintiffs, and the Non-Settling Defendants; and (b) to deposit $625,000 and $1.75 million, respectively, into Settlement Funds. If the Settlements are approved by the Court and become final, the Settlement Funds, inclusive of interest, will be used to: (1) pay for costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by Counsel in continuing the lawsuit against Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., and Impax Laboratories, Inc. (the “Non-Settling Defendants”); (2) cover taxable costs and taxes payable on the Settlement Funds; (3) pay for notice and other expenses; and (4) pay for service awards not to exceed $10,000 to the class representatives in recognition of their efforts to date on behalf of the Classes. Any remainder in the Settlement Funds, after the payment of the above expenses, shall be distributed to the End-Payor Class for the Lupin Settlement and the End-Payor Class for the Sandoz Settlement in a manner approved by the Court at the conclusion of the litigation. The Settlement Agreements, available at the website www.SolodynCase.com contain more details. These Settlements involve only the Lupin Defendants and Sandoz. The case will continue against the Non-Settling Defendants.

WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE CLASSES?

Generally, you are included in the Classes if you purchased, paid and/or provided reimbursement for some or all of a Solodyn and/or its generic equivalent prescription in the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico, in tablet form, from July 23, 2009, onward. Certain third-party payors are also members of the Classes.

You are NOT a member of the Classes if: you paid a “flat co-payment” for all of your prescription drug purchases regardless of whether they are brand or generic; you are one of the Defendants or an officer, director, manager, employee, subsidiary, or affiliate of any Defendant(s); you purchased only directly from Defendants or for resale purposes; you purchased or received Solodyn or its generic equivalent only through a Medicaid program; you are the judge in this lawsuit or a member of the judge’s immediate family; and/or you previously excluded yourself from the overall End-Payor Class.

YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

If you are a Class Member, you have the right to exclude yourself (to opt-out) from one or both of the Settlements no later than June 12, 2017. You may also comment on or object to one or both of the proposed Settlements. To do so, you must act by June 12, 2017. Details on how to request exclusion, comment, or object are at www.SolodynCase.com.
