Expanded Farmer Access to Corteva’s Enlist® Herbicides Anticipated for 2024 Growing Season

Dec 4, 2023 | Business

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – WEBWIRE –

After successfully completing a comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation process, Corteva Agrisciences innovative Enlist herbicides are poised for expanded use in formerly restricted counties in key growing regions across the U.S.

The rigorous ESA review was initially conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), then largely confirmed by consultation with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS). The result is a Final Biological Opinion (BiOp) that supports the restoration of previously restricted counties for use of Enlist herbicides including counties in Texas and Georgia and the elimination of all whole-county application restrictions, broadening farmers future access to this unique and effective system for sustainable weed control.

With its near-zero volatility and reduced potential for physical drift, the Enlistsystem has become a leading choice for effective and neighbor-friendly control of the toughest weeds, said Robert King, Executive Vice President, Crop Protection Business, Corteva Agriscience. The issuance of the Final BiOp supports the EPAs review and the removal of all county-wide restrictions, ultimately providing more farmers with certainty and access to effective, and more sustainable, weed control options.

Applicators should continue to abide by current product labels until supplemental labels are issued. Please consult with your local sales professional about how these upcoming changes may apply to individual operations. In addition to following current label guidelines, growers and applicators should refer to the Endangered Species Protection Bulletins, which will include targeted, sub-county restrictions in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas.

Expanded Distribution of Isaac Mashman’s “Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence” in Digital eBook Format

Oct 30, 2023 | Business

 Author Isaac Mashman is pleased to announce the significant expansion of the digital eBook distribution for his acclaimed work, “Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence.” For the past two years, the eBook version of his book was exclusively available on Amazon and Google Books. Now, readers can access the eBook on more than a dozen new platforms, including Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Scribd.

One notable feature of this expanded distribution is that many of the retailers offer the eBook for free reading to premium members of their platform. For others, the eBook edition is available for a nominal fee of $2.99 USD. This comes in preparation for the audiobook version later this month which will be priced around $4. This pricing model ensures that the content remains accessible to a wide range of readers, making it a cost-effective way for individuals to understand what personal branding is and why they should be building their own.

Isaac Mashman, a well-known authority on personal branding, had this to say about the expansion: “This move to make my work available on more places will allow readers who are dedicated to their platforms of choice to gain access to something that was previously niche,” he notes. A move that comes in lieu of the second edition coming out in Fall 2024.

By offering the eBook on platforms such as Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Scribd, Isaac Mashman is providing readers with the flexibility to engage with his work wherever and whenever they choose.

Refurbished and expanded LEGO® Store in Leicester Square is now world’s biggest

Aug 12, 2022 | Business

• Store reopened on the LEGO Group’s 90th anniversary

• Refurbishment and expanded floor space means Leicester Square is now the world’s biggest LEGO® store

• ‘Stories of Britain’ 3D LEGO builds celebrate local culture, heroes, history and landmarks

London – WEBWIRE –



Today, after four months of extensive refurbishment, the LEGO Group reopened the doors to the LEGO® Store in Leicester Square – now officially, the biggest LEGO store in the world – and it’s like no other!


LEGO fans formed queues hours before the official opening, eager to see the store’s new features. To mark the official opening moment, fans were excited to see LEGO icon Lester arriving on a London bus. The store is marking the occasion with a four-day event and fans from across the UK are invited to come along and join the celebrations. This follows an official preview event which took place last night, attended by celebrities including athlete Greg Rutherford, performer Kimberly Walsh and model Ellie Goldstein, amongst others along with their families.


The newly expanded and completely refurbished store features impressive 3D builds inspired by ‘Stories of Britain’ which celebrate the country’s icons, heroes and history. Visitors can get selfies with William Shakespeare who is waiting at the bus top for a red double decker London bus (made out of 270,884 LEGO bricks); in the driver’s seat of James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5; in Harry Potter™’s Gringotts, Diagon Alley or with the flying car or villains; and alongside Sherlock Holmes. Also featured is Buckingham Palace and Big Ben as well as our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.


There will also be hands-on LEGO experiences, unique to the Leicester Square store (and not available anywhere else) to inspire play and creativity in fans of all ages.


The Leicester Square store will also feature.

• Personalisation Studio: Visitors can reimagine themselves in LEGO form, either as a portrait from the Mosaic Maker or an iconic Minifigure from the LEGO Minifigure Factory.

• Interactive Storytelling Zone: Guests can celebrate the LEGO Group’s 90th Anniversary and explore 90 years of play in an interactive walkthrough experience which features products from the LEGO vault and fun for kids.

• Tree of Discovery: The Tree of Discovery is the centre piece of the store and showcases LEGO storytelling on a huge scale. It’s an interactive build designed to be an expression of the LEGO Group’s commitment to being inclusive and having a positive impact on society and the planet. Visitors of all ages are invited to explore a magical wonderland hidden inside the tree through windows in its rainbow trunk.


Natali Stojovic, Senior Vice President, LEGO Retail, Tthe LEGO Group, said, “Thank you to all the fans who visited the store opening. We were so excited to welcome you and overwhelmed by your amazing support and passion for the brand. We can’t wait to see even more people during our opening celebrations over the coming days.


“We are investing in upgrading LEGO stores around to the world to give visitors really fun, unique and memorable brand experiences. The refurbishment and expansion of our flagship London store will make it a must-visit destination for fans, young and old, living or travelling to London.”


Visitors to the new store can also get their hands on the largest assortment of LEGO products in the world including those only available on site such as the Lester Minifigure and a selection of Lester and London themed products. Fans will also have the chance to purchase products celebrated in the giant builds throughout the store such as the NEW LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5 set, the LEGO London Postcards and even the best-selling LEGO London Bus.


Between 10th- 14th August, anyone who spends £120 or more will receive an exclusive LEGO Store Set. Whilst between 15th – 18th August there’s a free LEGO Delivery Truck with VIP purchases over £75 or more.
