WINTER GARDEN, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smith has helped students to excel, both in and out of school since 1999. His Entrepreneurial Pitch Competition mentees have won top cash awards in high school and medical school Finals.
His work with students who compete in the annual 5th Grade Oration Competition sponsored by Modern Woodmen have helped many children overcome anxiety. His girlfriend, Sharon L. Roznowski, M.Ed. had one student whose parents asked that she be exempted from the competition due to 'severe anxiety.'
With three weeks of work, encouragement, and proven techniques, that student not only faced her fears, she was a top ten finalist in her school. She was able to leverage that success to become a backup singer and dancer in her middle school drama program. She carried that momentum into high school where she became a lead actress and lead singer. Now, she's thriving in these roles in college.
Smith is adding a new benefit for all youngsters from kindergarten through graduate school. On Liberation Day, April 2, 2025, he founded Junior Patriots™, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to expand patriotism in American schools and turn all participating students into #1 Best Selling Authors.

The ripple effect of publishing a #1 Best Seller is transformative, offering a lifetime of impactful connections and profitability.

The gained respect and love of country, has also helped children and young adults accomplish more in school, get along better with their peers and avoid lives of trouble, despair, crime, and addiction.

Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) Impresses Jim Cramer With Its Toughness
We recently published . Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK)'s shares have lost 16% year-to-date as investors continue to be disappointed by the dropping revenue of its GARDASIL HPV drug in China. They are also worried about the patent expiration of the firm's mega cancer drug KEYTRUDA and wondering whether Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) will be able to follow up with an equally successful successor. However, the shares did gain 3% this week after Pfizer announced that its bladder cancer drug PADCEV improves survival rates when paired with KEYTRUDA. Cramer was impressed as he commented: 'Look at Merck. I mean, Saint Merck. What a tough, what a tough.' Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash Here are his earlier comments about Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK): 'Well, this GARDASIL, when is it? The Chinese are not really helping them sell, because you would have thought the Chinese would. . .and then you've got the KEYTRUDA, you know the patent cliff coming up. . .it's amazing, but they are talking about their animal division. When you're talking about your animal division you don't have enough [inaudible] to talk.'

U.S. Alcohol Consumption Hits 90-Year Low - Zero-Proof Spirits Like Arkay and Beyond Spirits Are Filling the Gap
Health-conscious Americans are swapping liquor for plant-based, alcohol-free alternatives Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2025) - For the first time in nearly a century, alcohol consumption in the United States has fallen to historic lows. A surprising driver behind this shift? Younger, health-conscious consumers who are drinking less - or not at all - in favor of mindful, wellness-oriented lifestyles. This decline in traditional liquor sales is not a sign of the end for social drinking. Instead, it marks the beginning of a new era - one led by zero-proof spirits like Arkay Beverages and Beyond Spirits, the world's first plant-based, alcohol-free whisky. "We are witnessing the biggest drinking culture transformation in 90 years," said Reynald Vito Grattagliano, founder of Arkay Beverages and Beyond Spirits. "Consumers still want the taste, ritual, and social connection of spirits - but without the downsides of alcohol. Our zero-proof innovations deliver exactly that." According to industry analysts, several factors are fueling this trend: Gen Z & Millennials are choosing moderation and alcohol-free lifestyles at unprecedented rates. Health and wellness priorities are shifting spending toward low- and no-alcohol options. Innovation in taste and quality has made zero-proof spirits a viable alternative to traditional liquor. Arkay and Beyond Spirits stand at the forefront of this shift. Arkay offers a wide range of zero-proof alternatives to popular spirits - from whisky and rum to tequila and gin - all made without sugar, artificial sweeteners, or calories. Beyond Spirits takes plant-based innovation to the next level with its alcohol-free whisky crafted from 100% natural, sustainable ingredients. Why Zero-Proof Spirits Are the Future: Social without the hangover: Enjoy the experience of a night out without next-day regrets. Inclusive drinking culture: Alcohol-free options allow everyone to participate - from sober-curious to designated drivers. Better for body and mind: Supports mental clarity, fitness goals, and overall wellness. "This isn't a fad - it's a global movement," added Grattagliano. "Alcohol consumption may be at a 90-year low, but social connection and celebration are stronger than ever. Zero-proof spirits are the bridge between tradition and tomorrow." As Americans turn away from liquor, brands like Arkay and Beyond Spirits are proving that the future of drinking is not about alcohol - it's about choice, health, and innovation. About Arkay Beverages Founded in 2011, Arkay Beverages pioneered the zero-proof spirits category, offering alcohol-free alternatives to classic liquors. Each product is crafted to deliver the authentic taste of spirits without alcohol, sugar, or calories. About Beyond Spirits Beyond Spirits is the creator of the world's first plant-based, alcohol-free whisky. Combining innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship, the brand delivers a premium drinking experience for health-conscious consumers worldwide.

Consumer health is 'relatively sunny,' but some risks persist
Retail sales rose 0.5% in July, slightly below Wall Street's estimates. Meanwhile, preliminary consumer sentiment for August declined to 58.6 from the previous reading of 61.7. Bank of America Institute senior economist David Tinsley and Fitch Ratings senior director David Silverman join Market Catalysts with Julie Hyman to discuss the data and the health of the consumer. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts. You mentioned the your bank's credit card data, which is a great source of what people are doing, sort of, in real time. What about its predictive ability, right? Are there any signs telling you whether, to David Silverman's point, you know, kind of whether that it is going to keep up going into the fall? Well, I'd point to two things in our latest report. Uh, and in a sense they're cross-cutting. One is, we see weakness at the lower income consumer end. So in our data there's virtually zero growth year-on-year in consumer spending for the bottom third of households by income. But the good news, I think, is that middle and higher income households are continuing to spend. So, I think, you know, that does bode uh, reasonably well in terms of going forward. And then the other thing I'd just mentioned is that when you look at some of the metrics of financial health for the consumer, like their ability, essentially, to spend on their credit cards, whether they're paying off their full balance every month, these look pretty good, better than they did in 2019. So, I think, you know, there's some, there's some, you know, clouds out there if you like, but by and large, the picture is still relatively sunny. Um, David Silverman, what about though, in particular, that low-income consumer? Um, who are the retailers that are sort of most exposed to that consumer? Can we expect that they are going to see some struggles? Yes, so, those, those retailers would be discounters and dollar stores are some of the primary examples. What's become interesting over the last couple of cycles is a lot of these retailers, uh, will both benefit and be negatively impacted by some of this dislocation in the low-end consumer. Uh, we could see trade down that benefits, uh, companies like Walmart and, and, and Target and Costco and, and Amazon. Uh, that being said, a lot of these companies, uh, over the last number of years have added discretionary products to their mix. Uh, and there's some risk that the low-end consumer pulls back on, uh, purchase of these types of items. Uh, so we could see some, some positives and some negatives, uh, that a bit offset each other, uh, as you know, the, the low-end consumer struggles a bit in the current environment.
