More than 90 million vote early as Trump, Biden make late campaign push
NEWTOWN, Pennsylvania (REUTERS) - A record 90 million Americans have voted early in the presidential election, data on Saturday (Oct 31) showed, as President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden campaigned across the nation to try to sway the few remaining undecided voters. The high number of early voters, about 65% of the total turnout in 2016, reflects intense interest in the contest, with three days of campaigning left. Concerns about exposure to the coronavirus at busy Election Day voting places on Tuesday have also pushed up the numbers of people voting by mail or at early in-person polling sites. Trump, a Republican, is spending the closing days of his re-election campaign criticising public officials and medical professionals who are trying to combat the coronavirus pandemic even as it surges back across the United States. Opinion polls show Trump trailing former Vice President Biden nationally, but with a closer contest in the most competitive states that will decide the election. Voters say the coronavirus is their top concern. At a small, in-person rally in Newtown, Pennsylvania, Trump mocked his opponent on Saturday for his criticism of the administration's record of fighting Covid-19, which
How Xavier Abraham Is Reinventing PR With Pytch
Los Angeles, US, Oct. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Founder & Creative Director Xavier Abraham stated that he created his subscription business Pytch to pave a new way for creatives to market their content in the digital age with a cost-effective, invite-only PR platform. As the pandemic slows global hiring and with many facing layoffs, creatives such as musicians, artists, graphic designers, and independent brands are finding new ways to produce projects but are now faced with the challenge of building awareness of their artistic work due to low marketing budgets. As creatives deal with costly agency retainers, there’s an opportunity to ditch the old model and provide an alternative solution. So Abraham built an early version of Pytch a few years ago and found success. This year's safer-at-home period allowed Abraham to focus on the project, launching a beta version last year before the full launch two months ago. “This low-cost subscription model could be exactly what’s needed for this industry,” Abraham states. For the cost of a Netflix subscription, Pytch creates PR campaigns for creatives. With a starting price of $15 per month, Pytch is a software backed by a team of experts, providing assistance on developing your

The Cannigma Presents a New Way of Reviewing Cannabis Strains
Tel Aviv, Israel, Oct. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There is a rapid evolution taking place in the cannabis industry. With more and more countries legalizing both medical and recreational use of marijuana, cannabis research, investment, cultivation, and product development are surging. Much of this research focuses around the myriad potential that cannabis may hold for millions suffering from a variety of health complaints around the world. In an effort to make sense of the thousands of cannabis strains available around the world, The Cannigma Tree Ltd. is compiling a comprehensive index, based on lab results, user reports and scientific literature. These reviews present the history and lineage of chemovars (chemical varieties), along with an average chemical profile - that is, the main cannabinoids and terpenes present in the strain. Cannabinoids, like THC and CBD, and terpenes, which are responsible for the aroma of the plant, are the main active compounds in cannabis. For patients who need help choosing from the array of cannabis products available in dispensaries today, The Cannigma’s strain pages also suggest medical conditions that the strain may help, along with its sativa/indica classification. While the wisdom of the masses holds that indica strains are more sedating and sativa
