Ryvid introduces fresh new Colorways and Accessories for Anthem Electric Motorcycle, plus new Financing options

Ryvid, Inc

Following last month’s announcement of a complete 3D parts catalog available to owners of the American-built Ryvid Anthem electric motorcycle, the California-based company is continuing to expand at a phenomenal rate. The month of March is filled to the brim with announcements, headlined by two new colors for the 2024 Ryvid Anthem, including the distinctive Photon Blue and Plasma Yellow. These colorways join the existing line up of Galactica Black, Rapid White, Carbon Grey and Atomic Gold, expanding customer choice to six desirable colors. And thanks to the 3D Parts Catalog at ryvid.com, existing Anthem owners will be able to purchase body panels in the latest colors or even mix and match. The vibrant new Photon Blue and Plasma Yellow are perfect for the Spring and Summer, helping to ensure the clean lines of the Ryvid Anthem really stand out. ACCESSORIES Another new Ryvid initiative is its Accessories range, which will enable owners to personalize and customize their Anthem. As a special incentive for new owners, Ryvid is offering a $350 Accessories Bundle Credit for anyone purchasing an Anthem before April 15, 2024, allowing the new Accessories to be supplied with the bike. The Accessories are intended to make the electric motorcycle more convenient for users, providing a frequently-requested cargo rack, for example, which can carry up to 25 lb. The rack takes advantage of the threaded holes in every Anthem frame, which were always intended to fulfil this function. Other useful Accessories include a phone mount, Level 2 charging adapter, and helmet lock. Owners can also choose to change the color of their Anthem seat and bodywork or order a replacement battery. The full list of new Ryvid Accessories includes the following: Anthem Rear Rack - $195 Handlebar Phone mount - $55 Anthem Charging Cable 110V - $25 Anthem Charging Cable 220V - $40 Level 2 J-plug Charging Adapter - $95 Anthem 4.3 kWh Battery Pack with Integrated Fast Charger - $3995 Anthem Seat (4 color options) - $250 Helmet Cable Lock - $35 Power Controller Upgraded by ASI - $995 The high-performance Power Controller Upgrade by ASI is a simple plug-n-play swap, allowing Anthem owners can enjoy a 30% increase in acceleration without sacrificing range. The ASI Controller Kit includes a wiring harness that plugs straight into the Anthem. DIY installation instructions are available for new and existing Anthem motorcycles. Customers who order the ASI Controller with a new Anthem will only pay a discounted $800 for the controller once it’s ready to ship in April. FINANCE PLANS By popular demand, Ryvid has partnered with FreedomRoad Financial to offer competitive rates and extended term financing options. To see if an applicant qualifies, they simply click the “I Want to Finance” option on the Anthem page at ryvid.com and a member of the Lightning Squad will walk them through the process. The introduction of the new San Bernardino, CA factory facility has led to faster production schedules. This has not only allowed the company to ship the Anthem within four weeks of order completion, but customers can now select from four shipping options. This includes California collection and expedites national delivery to ensure new customers are enjoying the Anthem Electric as soon as possible. At the point of purchase, all California residents will pay tax and registration prior to shipping, ensuring their Anthem is ready to go upon arrival. Residents of all other states will pay the applicable tax and registration at their local DMV. SHOWS, DEMOS & MODEL LAUNCH At the Mama Tried motorcycle show in Milwaukee, WI in February, Ryvid was not only an event sponsor but supported the entry of a modified Anthem by Thor Drake from SeeSee Motorcycles. Competing in the Ryvid-sponsored EV class race, he placed third after an exciting battle. Additionally, Ryvid displayed the Anthem and provided demo rides to show attendees. Looking forward to April 19-21, Ryvid will be a title sponsor of The One Motorcycle Show in Portland, OR. There are big plans for this community event, which will again see the Anthem on display and available for demo rides. As a custom motorcycle show, many customized Anthems will also be on display for the first time, inspiring current and future owners. However, the major news is that Ryvid will debut its brand-new electric motorcycle at The One Moto Show, giving visitors and attending media the chance to see this exciting new model in the flesh for the very first time. More details will be revealed next month, but the groundbreaking concept will offer a revolutionary approach to motorcycle design, purchasing and customization.

Diamonds of Tomorrow: Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) and the Lab-Grown Evolution

Adamas One Corp. (JEWL)

In the realm of luxury, few items hold as much allure and fascination as natural diamonds. Yet, beneath their shimmering surface lies a shadow of environmental concerns and sustainability issues. With the global demand for diamonds soaring to unprecedented levels, questions about their ecological footprint have begun to loom large. However, amidst this burgeoning awareness, a compelling alternative has emerged: lab-grown diamonds. Offering a sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative to their mined counterparts, lab-grown diamonds have witnessed a meteoric rise in popularity among consumers. The market for lab-grown diamonds is on an upward trajectory, fueled by increasing adoption in the fashion, jewelry, and industrial sectors. According to a report by Allied Market Research, the global lab-grown diamonds market was valued at $24.0 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach a staggering $59.2 billion by 2032, boasting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. Enter Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL), a key player in the evolving landscape of the diamond industry. Positioned amidst a shift towards sustainability, Adamas One Corp. is at the forefront of pioneering greener practices in diamond production. In January of last year, Adamas One unveiled its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. The company's revenue milestone, exceeding $1.78 million in lab-grown diamond sales, marked a pivotal shift from research and development to commercial production. CEO Jay Grdina's strategic vision emphasized the importance of reaching full manufacturing capacity at the Greenville, S.C., facility by May 2023, laying the foundation for sustained growth. Scaling for Growth Throughout last year, Adamas One focused on scaling its production capabilities to meet growing demand. By March 2023, the company had achieved full production capacity at its South Carolina facility, boasting 12 reactors producing approximately 3,000 rough carats of diamonds monthly. This achievement positioned Adamas One Corp. as a leading player in the lab-grown diamond market, poised to generate over $12 million in annual revenue from its Greenville operations. November 2023 marked a significant milestone for JEWL with the successful creation of colorless lab-grown diamonds in the D, E, and F color ranges. This breakthrough, resulting from extensive internal R&D efforts, underscored the company's commitment to quality and innovation. CEO Jay Grdina's strategic roadmap highlighted the strategic importance of this development, particularly in meeting the stringent demands of the jewelry and technology sectors. A transformative moment for JEWL occurred in November 2023 with the establishment of Adamas Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to harnessing lab-grown diamond solutions for the technology industry. Led by seasoned industry professionals, including COO Jerry McGuire, Adamas Technologies positioned itself at the forefront of semiconductor innovation. The subsidiary's focus on research, partnerships, and deployment underscored Adamas One Corp.'s commitment to diversification and market expansion. Setting the Stage for Growth Just last month, JEWL reaffirmed its strategic initiatives and market penetration efforts through a comprehensive shareholder update. The company's multifaceted approach encompassed delivering high-quality lab-grown diamond materials, launching the Elle Jolie luxury jewelry line, and leveraging its IP and R&D capabilities to explore new sectors, notably the technology industry. CEO Jay Grdina's forward-looking vision emphasized the company's commitment to sustainable growth and value creation for shareholders. More recently, March 2024 brought accolades for Adamas One Corp. as it received the prestigious title of "Best Lab-Grown Manufacturer for 2023" from Manufacturing Technology Insights Magazine. This recognition underscored the company's unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in lab-grown diamond manufacturing, reinforcing its position as an industry leader. Charting the Future In a strategic move to accelerate innovation, Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) today announced the formation of a Board of Advisors for its subsidiary, Adamas One Technologies. Comprising esteemed industry experts, the board will provide invaluable guidance as Adamas One Technologies explores novel applications for lab-grown diamonds in the semiconductor industry. This initiative reflects the company's commitment to fostering collaboration and driving technological advancements. “We are honored to have such distinguished industry experts join the Board of Advisors for Adamas One Technologies," stated Jerry McGuire, COO of Adamas One Corp and newly appointed board member. "Their collective wealth of experience and expertise will undoubtedly propel Adamas One Technologies to new heights as we explore the vast potential of lab-grown diamonds in semiconductor applications. I am excited to collaborate with this esteemed group as we drive innovation and shape the future of technology." As Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the lab-grown diamond industry, investors can expect continued growth and market leadership.

An Inherited Condition Could be the Cause of Your Early Heart Disease or Stroke, But Your Doctor is Probably Not Testing for It

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Y_mu9ZpIO88 Heart disease is still the single biggest threat to American health today. Family Heart Foundation research shows that less than 5% of Americans are being screened for the most common, life-threatening genetic condition that causes early strokes and heart attacks – elevated Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) for short. Elevated lipoprotein(a) is the most common genetic cause of early heart disease and stroke. One in 5 people worldwide have inherited high Lp(a), and most don’t know it. You inherit your Lp(a) level from your parents. Because elevated Lp(a) isn’t screened for, the first sign of this condition may be a stroke or a heart attack. Elevated levels of Lp(a) increases the risk of blood clotting and plaque buildup inside the blood vessels, which can block the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and brain. Compared to the general population, people with elevated Lp(a) have 2-3 times the risk for a heart attack and stroke at a young age. The higher your Lp(a), the higher your risk. Lp(a) is not measured in the standard cholesterol panel. It’s important to understand if you have elevated Lp(a). Multiple therapies are in development but in the meantime, there are things you can do to manage your other cardiovascular risk factors, such as keeping your LDL cholesterol levels very low. The Family Heart Foundation can help you find a healthcare provider near you and connect you to others living with elevated Lp(a). The Family Heart Foundation is the only patient-centered, research and advocacy organization focused on addressing the lack of screening and care for people born and living with this common life-threatening condition. On March 20 th a nationwide media tour was conducted featuring Dr. Amit Khera, Professor and Director of Preventive Cardiology UT Southwestern Medical Center and Misty Votaw. Topics they discussed included: Who should have their Lp(a) measured and when. Misty’s story and how the Family Heart Foundation provided resources. If you have elevated Lp(a), what can you do to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. What the Family Heart Foundation is doing to address gaps in care for 60 million Americans at risk. For more information and to find out if you have elevated Lp(a), contact the Family Heart Foundation’s Care Navigation team at FindLpa.org.

Comcast Continues Major Fiber Network Expansion in Texas

Comcast Texas

Comcast announced today it will continue to significantly expand its next-generation Xfinity network across several southeast Texas counties in 2024. The media and technology company will invest more than $265 million to install more than one thousand miles of new fiber-rich highways that will reach more than 100,000 homes and businesses by the end of this year. The planned expansions add to Comcast’s ongoing $3 billion investment in Texas over the last three years. Comcast’s fiber network expansion in 2024 will begin in the cities of Conroe, Montgomery, Hempstead, Porter, Navasota and Cleveland. Construction will also continue in other communities that have ongoing network infrastructure projects in the Houston area. Conroe, parts of which already have access to Xfinity and Comcast Business services, will be the largest expansion area of the year — reaching approximately 20,000 additional homes and businesses. These locations will have the foundational next-generation network in place to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0, setting the stage for the introduction of new symmetrical multi-gigabit Internet options. “Reliable high-speed internet is essential in today’s digital economy, which is why Comcast continues its commitment to connect more southeast Texas families and businesses to the moments that matter most,” said Jose Espinel, Comcast Texas’ Regional Senior Vice President. “We are expanding our fiber highways in Montgomery, Waller, Grimes and Liberty counties, strategically investing in areas undergoing significant growth. By establishing the best broadband infrastructure today, we are securing the economic prosperity of these communities for tomorrow.” Comcast’s commitment to new communities goes beyond the build-- addressing digital opportunities in communities through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the Internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Last year, Comcast Texas invested more than one million dollars to help local community organizations provide hands on digital skills training, offer workforce development/readiness workshops and other tech education to students, adults and people with disabilities.
