Philadelphia to welcome new queer women's sports bar this summer
With an opening date of later this summer, plans for the space at 430 South St. — formerly home to Woolly Mammoth — include a showcase of women's sports events, Philly teams and queer film and television, an elevated food and drink menu and a commitment to cultivating inclusivity, community and neighborhood joy.
Named in tribute to Black transgender activist and LGBTQ+ icon Marsha P Johnson, Marsha's is the idea of founder and Philly native Chivonn Anderson.
Anderson is a previous recipient of the Philadelphia LGBTQ+ Hall of Fame Awards with the Best Small Business Leader Award for her work as Director of Development at Redcrest Kitchen.
Anderson aims to have Marsha's be a lasting space for the LGBTQ+ community and has purchased the building and the liquor license.
"South Street was the only place I ever felt comfortable growing up," Anderson said in a release. Coming out as a teen in the 1990's, Anderson found belonging among community there. "Creating Marsha's on the corner of South Street and Passyunk Ave feels like a full-circle moment. It's about building the kind of bar everyone feels welcome stepping foot in."

Berger Montague PC Announces Class Action Filed Against Altimmune, Inc. (ALT) for Alleged Securities Violations
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2025) - Berger Montague PC is investigating claims under the federal securities laws against Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALT) ('Altimmune' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics for obesity and liver disease, including MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) after a class action lawsuit was filed against Altimmune. Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased or acquired Altimmune securities between August 10, 2023 through June 25, 2025 (the 'Class Period') may, no later than October 6, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights,CLICK HERE. On June 26, 2025, Altimmune issued a press release announcing topline results from its IMPACT Phase 2b trial of Pemvidutide for the treatment of MASH. Despite management's repeated positive statements ahead of the results, the Company revealed a failure to achieve statistical significance in the fibrosis reduction primary endpoint, citing a higher-than-expected placebo response. While a positive trend was observed, this key metric fell short. When asked about the failure, the Company's executives attributed the shortcoming to the trial's Phase 2 nature and expressed optimism about the Phase 3 trial instead.

Vishay Intertechnology Introduces Miniature, Sealed, Industrial-Grade Multi-Turn SMD Cermet Trimmers for Harsh Environments
Offered in Compact 4 mm x 4 mm Footprint, Space-Saving Devices Feature IP67 Sealing and High Temperature Operation to +140 °C MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of industrial-grade, multi-turn, surface-mount cermet trimmers. Designed for space-constrained applications in harsh environments, the Vishay Sfernice TSM41 series devices combine a compact 4 mm by 4 mm footprint with a wide temperature range of -55 °C to +140 °C and IP67 sealing. Compared to previous-generation devices, the trimmers released today offer a 42 % smaller case size, allowing designers to save board space and optimize package density. In addition, the TSM41 series allows for fine-tuning of its wide 10 Ω to 1 MΩ resistance range, and a faster setting-to-time ratio than single-turn trimmers. Offering a 0.25 W power rating at +85 °C, the devices are available in both top and side adjustment styles, providing flexibility for various design requirements. The TSM41 series can be mounted directly to the PCB, allowing for automated PCB assembly and setting processes — enhancing production efficiency to save time and lower costs — while enabling the components to be placed on both sides of the board. Fully sealed to withstand standard board wash processing, the trimmers ensure reliability in welding equipment, power tools, smoke detectors, and heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Samples and production quantities of the TSM41 series are available now, with lead times of 15 weeks. Vishay manufactures one of the world's largest portfolios of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components that are essential to innovative designs in the automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.
