Seattle, WA - (NewMediaWire) - February 26, 2019 - CFN Media Group (“CFN Media”), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article discussing FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTCQB: FSDDF) (FRA: 0K9). The company has become well-known for its massive cannabis cultivation facility that’s being built in a former Kraft plant in Cobourg, Ontario, but investors should also take note of its investment in cutting-edge research and development, including delivery systems and cultivation techniques.Many cannabis companies have predictable business models—they grow and sell cannabis flower or perhaps extract them into edibles or vape pens. While most companies are focused on maximizing their production footprint, some companies have placed an additional focus on research and development. These investments could pay big dividends in the future if they prove to be breakthroughs in cannabis cultivation or delivery.New Delivery MethodsThe medical cannabis market could reach $55 billion by 2024, according to Global Market Insights, driven by growing demand to treat chronic pain caused by neurological disorders, cancer, HIV/AIDS, and arthritis. In addition, the increasing preference of cannabis over opioids could add significantly more upside over the coming years. The key is developing effective delivery systems for various target indications.FSD Pharma recently announced a $1.5 million strategic investment in and profit-sharing agreement with Pharmastrip Corp., developer of medical cannabis-infused oral thin film strips. Under the terms of the agreement, FSD will install Pharmastrip’s proprietary equipment at its Cobourg, Ontario facility and use the equipment to manufacture oral thin film strips and Pharmastrip will grant FSD an exclusive license to manufacture and sell in Canada.“FSD made this strategic investment because of the potential we see in alternative delivery methods for cannabis, such as Pharmastrip’s oral thin film strips,” said FSD Pharma Founder and President Zeeshan Saeed. “We expect the demand for alternative delivery methods for cannabis for both THC and CBD to increase as the market continues to develop. [We] look forward to beginning production once the necessary license has been granted.”New Production MethodsThousands of acres of cannabis are harvested each year across North America. With the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada and certain U.S. states, these figures are poised to significantly expand over the coming years. The problem is that growing and harvesting cannabis plants is an energy intensive and expensive process—a process that some companies are hoping to short-circuit with new techniques.FSD Pharma recently announced a non-binding letter of intent with Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. to research the use of algal expression technology in developing pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids. The company is already using algae to create omega-3 products for the nutraceutical industry, and the same approach could be used to develop cannabinoids in a much faster and more reliable process.“If successful, this could dramatically disrupt current cannabis cultivation methods for medical purposes,” said FSD Pharma President Zeeshan Saeed. “It could reduce the majority of time, space, and costs associated with cannabis cultivation for medical purposes, specifically cannabis with GMP Certification. We are very pleased to collaborate with Solarvest on the development of promising alternative methods of cannabinoid production.”Looking AheadFSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTCQB: FSDDF) (FRA: 0K9) continues to invest heavily in cutting-edge technologies that could revolutionize the way cannabis is grown and consumed. At the same time, the company continues to make progress in building its massive cannabis cultivation facility in Cobourg, Ontario, which could make it one of the largest licensed producers in Canada at full production.On February 19, the company announced that it received a Standard Processing License from Health ...

Seattle, WA - (NewMediaWire) - February 26, 2019 - CFN Media Group (“CFN Media”), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article discussing NexTech AR Solutions Inc. (CSE: NTAR) (OTC: NEXCF), and how the company’s augmented reality is transforming the fashion industry.The $2.4 trillion fashion industry has always been a hotbed for both aesthetic and technological innovation. With its relentless focus on innovation, it’s not surprising that the industry would be an early-adopter of augmented reality, or AR, technology, which revolutionizes the way that consumers interact with brands by seamlessly blending real-time surroundings with animated design.Three-quarters of Americans prefer augmented reality experiences over video content for shopping, gaming and entertainment, according to Vertebrae. While only 20 percent of consumers have experienced AR-powered shopping, the firm found that consumers overwhelmingly indicated that they would prefer to use AR technologies to help them with purchasing decisions.With limited adoption thus far in ecommerce, the unique AR experience enables fashion brands to showcase their forward looking principles, create a fun and interactive experience, and ultimately increase their ecommerce conversion rates and sales.Early Pioneers See SuccessesGap Inc. became one of the largest company to enter the AR space with Dressing Room. Using a Google Tango-enabled device, users can use the app to customize an avatar based on their body type and see how different pieces of clothing look at different angles. Customers can then purchase the clothing directly from the app, creating a seamless shopping experience that could help boost revenue.LVMH’s Sephora also introduced Virtual Artist in conjunction with ModiFace to let customers try on various makeup shades and combinations using their front-facing camera. The app has been downloaded by tens of millions of users and undoubtedly helped increase the company’s revenue. It also became one of the first AR apps to move outside of the clothing fashion space and into the beauty space.Finally, Wanna Kicks and Tenth Street Hats are two other examples of smaller companies using AR technology to let customers see how accessories would look before purchase. The latter company found that conversion rates increased by one-third when they introduced AR features, which underscores the potential that augmented reality solutions have within the rapidly growing ecommerce industry.Plug-and-Play for the MassesNexTech AR Solutions Inc. (CSE: NTAR) (OTC: NEXCF) recently launched its Try-It-On augmented reality experience to solve these problems. Using its patent-pending web-enabled AR ecommerce platform, fashion brands can provide a realistic experience that enables customers to see what they would look like wearing glasses, headwear, jewelry, and other products that appear above the shoulder.“One of the most significant pain points that remains in online retail for a consumer is the inability to try something on before they buy it,” says NexTech CEO Evan Gappelberg. “This often leads to frustration, the ordering of incorrectly sized items, and unnecessary returns that are costly to the retailer. NexTech's new Try-It-On AR technology eliminates the issue by enabling retailers to offer a virtual fitting room to their consumers.”Unlike many expensive app-only solutions, the company’s solutions are web-based and can be deployed with a few lines of embedded code within an existing ecommerce website. The company charges a low monthly subscription fee for the service, targeting thousands of small businesses that don’t have the budget or know-how to develop in-house AR technology—that’s a massive potential market for a plug-and-play solution.You can try out the new technology on NexTech’s demo website.Looking AheadThere’s no doubt that the fashion industry will continue to embrace augmented reality, particularly given the proven benefit on conversion rates. With more and more consumers ...

We were also pleased to see that modest drilling beyond the edge of the modeled Isabella Pearl pit defined additional tonnes and gold ounces to this project currently in construction. Exploration goals for 2019 include continued step-out and infill drilling at the Arista Mine’s Arista and Switchback vein systems, step-out and infill drilling at Mirador’s Independencia vein, continued step-out drilling at Nevada’s Isabella Pearl modeled pit, and a first drill program at the Scarlet target, located approximately 200 meters to the north west of the Isabella Pearl pit.”“Our exploration team had a great year delivering significant increases to reserve tonnes and gold and silver ounces at both the Oaxaca and Nevada Mining Units,” stated Mr. Jason Reid, President and CEO of Gold Resource Corporation. “With global gold ounce increases of 18%, including 26.6% and 11.5% at our Oaxaca and Nevada mining units respectively, coupled with substantial silver ounce and base metal tonne additions, underscore this reserve as being one of the best reserves in the Company’s history.

(NewMediaWire) - February 26, 2019 - DALLAS and South San Francisco, CA - The American Heart Association, the leading global public health organization devoted to a world of longer healthier lives, and Verily, Alphabet’s life sciences and healthcare arm, are joining forces on Research Goes Red, a new initiative to engage women in scientific research that may one day lead to the treatment and cure of the world’s number one killer. Leveraging the American Heart Association's leading Go Red for Women® movement to end heart disease and stroke in women, Research Goes Red invites women across the United States to join the fight by taking part in a major heart health research collaboration through Verily’s Project Baseline. Historically, clinical studies have not adequately enrolled women or analyzed women-specific heart health data, even though cardiovascular disease remains a woman’s greatest health threat, claiming the lives of one in three women[1] every year. Beginning in February, American Heart Month, women can join the initiative through Project Baseline, a digital platform and community designed to make it easy and engaging to participate in clinical research and drive healthcare innovation. They may have opportunities to take part in surveys and focus groups, contribute data for clinical research projects, and test new tools, technologies and treatments in the years to come. The initiative aims to raise awareness about heart disease among women and how participation in research could further scientific understanding of heart health. “Research Goes Red empowers our growing and passionate community of committed and engaged women to share their health information to greatly enhance what we know about women’s heart disease and potentially help prevent it,“ said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer, American Heart Association. “Our collaboration with Verily through Project Baseline will accelerate world-class clinical research powered by the momentum of the Go Red for Women movement.” Nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented,[2] yet more than 17.3 million people die from cardiovascular disease globally each year. Go Red for Women and Project Baseline want to change these statistics by increasing the number of female participants in clinical studies. “Through clinical research we have an opportunity to uncover new insights about health, and by making it easy for individuals to participate, we can develop a comprehensive map that could inform treatment or care decisions,” said Jessica Mega, chief medical and scientific officer, Verily. “Collaborating with the American Heart Association through Project Baseline will help inform more women about the value of participating in research, how to contribute, and a new way to ‘Go Red’.” The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement has been a trusted, passionate, relevant force for change to end heart disease and stroke in women all over the world for the last 15 years. Go Red for Women provides a platform for women to come together, raise awareness, fund lifesaving research, advocate for change and improve the lives of all women everywhere. The American Heart Association has been associated with Project Baseline since the latter’s launch in 2017. Project Baseline began with a landmark study in partnership with Duke University School of Medicine, Stanford Medicine and Google to better understand health, disease and the transition between the two. In expanding its platform to make it easy for everyone to participate in clinical research, Project Baseline is focused on capturing health information through clinical research and people’s day-to-day lives to drive healthcare innovation and improve lives. Research Goes Red marks an important step for Go Red for Women and Project Baseline with a shared mission towards improving lives — starting by involving more women in research to better understand heart health.

PHOENIX, AZ, Feb. 25, 2019 (NewMediaWire) -- For The Earth Corporation (the “Company” or “FTEG”) (OTCMKTS: FTEG) issues the following Letter to Shareholders from the CEO:Dear Valued Shareholder,As we continue to manage our transition into the CBD space, we would like to start by thanking our committed shareholders for sticking with us as we navigate the final stages of this process.Our vision matches up with our financial reality and our market opportunity analysis in a very compelling manner, and we couldn’t be more excited as we look ahead at coming quarters. Today, I would like to outline that vision, what we are doing about it, and how we plan to frame that message to the marketplace.The CBD market is expected to grow by enormous multiples over the next three years. According to our analysis, we can maximize our shareholders’ ability to benefit from that growth as it blossoms by establishing ourselves as an integrated vertical CBD organization now.As our recent press releases demonstrate, we have already begun to carve out our retail footprint by establishing a variety of transaction points with the end market consumer, including mall stores, mall kiosks, vending machines, and e-commerce storefronts, with physical locations in both Las Vegas and New York City, where our research suggests there is already a high ratio of knowledgeable consumers interested in CBD products.On the other side of the equation, we also plan to put in place our own production process, which is an essential piece of the puzzle for an integrated go-to-market CBD model. Expect many related details to be released over the coming period.We are also very focused on communicating our story to the market effectively. As such, we would like to announce our new expanded shareholder communications initiative. We believe this move will powerfully benefit both Company shareholders and Company management.As we prepare to significantly ramp up operations, we understand this implies a duty to our shareholders to ensure both transparency and visibility are elevated correspondingly. We have a great story in the making, and so we have a responsibility to communicate that story to our shareholders and the wider investment community.In part, this initiative comes in response to an increase in shareholder and public requests for more details about our operations and objectives following recent Company accomplishments. However, in addition to fulfilling these requests and our duty to support full transparency, this initiative will also consist of a proactive media and messaging outreach that will include a broad array of digital and non-digital communications strategies. To that end, the Company has engaged EHC Branding Agency (ehcbrandingagency.com) as a partner to assist in this process.Finally, we filed Form 1-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission to make a Securities offering under Regulation A earlier this year. As an update, this measure not been approved as of yet, and the Company is currently not doing any offerings of any kind. We will certainly notify shareholders of changes to the status of this filing as soon as we have more information. But, at present, our float remains at 1.021 billion shares, and our focus remains on maximizing shareholder value and not on diluting our shareholders.The bottom line is this: we recognize our responsibility to sufficiently ensure that current and prospective FTEG shareholders have access to any and all information necessary to make informed decisions as we navigate the final steps of what we believe will be a powerful and exciting transition toward greater value for our shareholders, our team, and our customers.Warmest Regards,Nelson Grist, CEOAbout For The Earth CorporationFor The Earth Corporation is an emerging integrated CBD producer and retailer in the United States.
