As college visits and applications begin, The CE Shop empowers students to join the workforce faster

DENVER, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / As high school graduates consider their next steps after graduation, meaningful career paths are more accessible and diverse than ever. While a traditional four-year college degree is still a valuable option for many, The CE Shop offers something a little bit different–a faster entry into the workforce via the real estate industry. This allows them to build a career (and income) without the burden of significant college debt.

Recent trends show that younger generations are embracing this new perspective on higher education. A 2023 ECMC Group survey found that while most students still strongly believe in the value of a postsecondary education, nearly 63% of high schoolers are exploring alternatives to the traditional four-year college. Influencing factors include rising concerns over student debt and a demand for direct career training, which is driving interest in alternative paths to high-demand professions.

The CE Shop offers just such a path–providing fast, flexible education designed for success in the real estate industry. With flexible, online pre-licensing courses, students can choose from four essential real estate roles depending on their personal interests: real estate agent, home inspector, mortgage loan originator, and appraiser. Each of these professions is fundamental to the housing market, a sector that serves over $3.4 billion of Gross Domestic Product in the U.S., and accounts for approximately 15-18% of the nation’s total GDP contribution.

Sustained acoustic medicine helps athletes bridge that critical gap between recovery and performance by providing an advanced, non-invasive therapy proven to accelerate healing and reduce pain

TRUMBULL, CT / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / Fall sports are back, and athletes and their trainers are using ZetrOZ Systems‘ sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) technology to treat injuries and help players recover and stay game-ready throughout the demanding fall season.

Sustained acoustic medicine, invented by ZetrOZ Systems, is continuous, long-duration ultrasound treatment applied directly to the site of an injury. The ZetrOZ Systems sam® X1 and 2.0 devices are the only wearable ultrasound units cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for daily home use.

More than 30 clinical studies and 3.7 million patient treatments have validated the effectiveness of sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device in treating a spectrum of conditions, including the soft tissue injuries common to fall sports.

Studies show that the traditional fall sports of football and soccer are the toughest on athletes. A five-year review of college sports found more than 41,000 injuries among football players, nearly one injury for every 100 times a player participated in a practice or game. The injury rate in women’s soccer was nearly as high.

Nearly half of all college sports injuries are sprains and strains, and about one in four of those soft-tissue injuries required a week of recuperation – forcing players to miss practices and games.

Sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device are widely used in college and professional sports for their effectiveness in treating soft-tissue injuries, as documented in several clinical studies.

A 2022 study of tendon, ligament and other injuries, involving 239 healthcare providers, found that sam® showed clinical improvement in under two weeks for nearly 70% of cases while reducing pain medication use by 50%.

“The daily demands of training, practices and games can be hard on athletes, whether they’re in high school, college, or professional leagues,” said Dr. George K. Lewis, a biomedical engineer and founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. “From clinical research and from our close relationships with sports medicine physicians and athletic trainers, we know that our sam® device helps athletes recover from training, heal from injuries more quickly, and avoid re-injury.”

The sam® unit applies long-duration ultrasound directly to the site of pain or injury in soft tissue, which decreases inflammation while increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That augments oxygenated hemoglobin at the site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, accelerating healing and reducing pain.

ZetrOZ Systems’ sam® devices are designed and manufactured in the United States. The device and sustained acoustic medicine are protected by nearly 50 U.S. and international patents.

ZetrOZ Systems is leading healing innovations in sports medicine, developing wearable bioelectronic devices for the delivery of sustained acoustic medicine (SAM®). Researched and funded by the federal government, ZetrOZ is built on the proprietary medical technology of 46+ patents and is the exclusive manufacturer and developer of the SAM® product line, which is designed for the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. cost effective, non-invasive, drug-free, modality used for treating soft tissue injuries and treating chronic pain.

PLANO, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 16, 2025 / BGSF, Inc. (NYSE:BGSF) (“BGSF” or “the Company”), a leading provider of workforce solutions for the specialized property management industry, today announced additional information regarding the previously announced pending special cash dividend of $2.00 per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), payable on September 30, 2025 to the holders of record of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on September 23, 2025.

Because the payment of the special cash dividend represents more than 25% of the trading price of the Common Stock, NYSE has advised the Company that its common shares will trade with “due bills” representing an assignment of the right to receive the special cash dividend from the record date of September 23, 2025 through the closing of trading on NYSE on September 30, 2025, which is the payment date and the last day of trading before the October 1, 2025 ex-dividend date (this period of time representing the “Dividend Right Period”).

Shareholders who sell their Common Stock during the Dividend Right Period will be selling their right to the special cash dividend, and such shareholders will not be entitled to receive the special cash dividend. Due bills obligate a seller of Common Stock to deliver the special cash dividend payable on such Common Stock to the buyer (the “Dividend Right”). The record date of September 23, 2025 will be used as the date for establishing the due bill tracking of the Dividend Right to the holder of Common Stock.

Due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing the buyers and the sellers of shares. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of the Common Stock should consult their brokers before trading to be sure they understand the effect of NYSE’s due bill procedures.
