Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC) Multifaceted Strategy Strengthens Shareholder Value, Grows Company

  • UEC is ideally positioned to be leading supplier of American-mined uranium for domestic utilities, U.S. government
  • UEC’s main objective is adding value to shareholders, growing into largest and most profitable uranium company in the United States

Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) CEO Amir Adnani American has noted the company is a uranium pure play, with $110 million cash, equity and strategic U.S.-warehoused inventory holdings.  Recent press releases discuss UEC’s business objectives and highlight recent UEC achievements that are notable for the company’s future growth.

With uranium spot prices below most producers’ cost of production, UEC has established a physical uranium initiative with acquisitions of U.S.-warehoused uranium.  The uranium initiative is fully funded with cash on hand and now includes 2.105 million pounds of U.S.-warehoused uranium at a volume weighted average price of ~$30 per pound with deliveries occurring between March 2021 into December 2022 (https://ibn.fm/zv7ks).

Adnani notes the initiative will support three objectives: 1) bolstering the company’s balance sheet as uranium prices appreciate; 2) providing strategic inventory to support future marketing efforts with utilities that could complement production and accelerate cashflows; and 3) increasing the availability of the company’s Texas and Wyoming production capacity for emerging U.S.-origin-specific opportunities, which may command premium pricing due to scarcity of domestic uranium.

On another front, UEC restarted wellfield development and resource delineation drilling at the Company’s Burke Hollow in-situ recovery (“ISR”) uranium project in South Texas.  Advancing and expanding Burke Hollow’s resources strategically dovetails with UEC’s plans to participate in supplying the U.S. Uranium Reserve (“UR”) as outlined in the Nuclear Fuel Working Group report published by the U.S. Department of Energy. The UR is designed as a 10-year, $1.5 billion program to purchase newly mined U.S.-origin uranium from the existing domestic uranium industry (https://ibn.fm/EW45D).

“UEC is ideally positioned to be the leading supplier of American-mined uranium for the domestic utilities and the U.S. government,” Adnani stated in another article.  “We control the largest resource base of fully permitted ISR projects in Texas and Wyoming of any U.S. based producer, ideally positioned to lead the resurgence in domestic uranium mining. . . . We are investing to build the next generation of low-cost and environmentally friendly uranium projects that will be competitive on a global basis.”

“Our main objective is to continue adding value to our shareholders and grow the company into the largest and most profitable uranium company in the United States,” said Adnani.

Uranium Energy Corp is a U.S.-based uranium mining and exploration company that controls one of the country’s largest historical uranium exploration and development databases. Founded in 2003, UEC is headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas. Properties acquired by the company are primarily located within the United States, including Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming. In addition, the company is aggressively pursuing other key developmental targets. UEC is poised to be a next-generation uranium producer, committed to providing low-cost uranium through environmentally friendly In-Situ Recovery mining for the country’s large electricity-generating nuclear fleet as well as for government programs, such as the U.S. Uranium Reserve.

Yimin Wu — An AI-SaaS Pioneer from the East

  • Founder of Infobird Software Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IFBD) Chairman and CEO
  • Life-long passion for computer science
  • Launched the first cloud call center SaaS product in China
  • Almost 10 years serving mega financial institutions with customized SaaS
  • Infobird is quickly expanding – pushing standardized SaaS into broad markets to service a wide variety of industries and increase market share
In the spring of 1990, 24-year-old Yimin Wu completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in computer science at Tsinghua University and was assigned by the university to Hewlett-Packard in the United States as a software engineer. With ‘life as an adventure’ as his credo and a fiery passion for cloud computing, Yimin went back to China and started his own business to provide all-software middleware for call centers. With a strong background in technology development, Yimin Wu realized the huge potential of cloud computing in early 2004. This was when Skype, a communication software based on VoIP, first became popular across the world. The success of Skype sparked his imagination about the possibilities for an all-software based cloud call center – with zero hardware involved. With the idea of combining cloud computing with an all-software call center, Yimin Wu led his team aiming to develop the first cloud based SaaS product for call centers in China. Customers no longer needed to purchase hardware equipment, buy and install a complete set of software, and then build their own call center. They only need to purchase “services” from Infobird Software (NASDAQ: IFBD) based on the number of seats and the time they needed. In 2007, the company successfully launched the first cloud based SaaS product in China and its efforts were highly recognized by its peers. In the same year, Yimin Wu was also named to China’s top ten software leaders by the China Software Association for being the first to put forward the concept of cloud call center in China. Today, the importance of cloud computing is undisputed, but go back ten years and the concept of cloud computing was unknown to both the public and business. Since 2007, under the leadership of Yimin Wu, Infobird has also successfully upgraded from a traditional call center service provider to a leading SaaS (software as a service) provider in China, providing large enterprises with innovative AI-driven or AI-empowered customer engagement solutions. Today, Infobird is still launching new SaaS products to meet the diverse needs of customers. Infobird has been serving its clients with cloud call center and other intelligent customer engagement solutions for 20 years. When Mr. Wu was asked what formed the foundation of Infobird’s development, he answered firmly, “It’s technology”. He added, “I think we rely on technology to keep pace with the times. We have to use the most advanced technology at that time to meet customer needs. It does not mean that we can win the market with only one technology. We will continue to develop new technologies to meet customer needs. We believe that the ultimate purpose of developing new technologies is to serve the specific needs of customers. It is not our philosophy to develop technology solely for the sake of technology.” In China, Infobird is one of the very few software companies that is capable of providing customized SaaS services to ultra-large companies and financial institutions. In 2012, the first phase of China Guangfa Bank’s credit card telemarketing system was undertaken by Infobird which immediately passed the acceptance inspection. Delivering unparalleled service levels, Infobird’s solution was constantly evolving and improving to support the rapid expansion rate of China Guangfa Bank’s credit center. This project later became the largest commercial private cloud call center and cloud computing real-time business system in China at the time. According to the prospectus from the company, it also states that the company will no longer be dependent on a single large customer, China Guangfa Bank, which accounted for approximately 77.3% of the total revenue in 2019. The percentage of revenue from China Guangfa Bank is expected to decrease to less than 35% in 2020 and furtherdecrease to an even lower percentage in the near future. The company has been expanding the customer base for multiple mid to large companies in finance, healthcare and retail industries by promoting of the standardized module SaaS. Because of Infobird’s dedication to technology, the company has gained the trust of major companies and large financial institutions. Infobird’s SaaS products are widely used in banking and insurance, education and training, e-commerce, travel ticketing, service outsourcing, healthcare, logistics and retail and multiple other industries. Infobird has a wide range of customers, including small growth companies as well as many Fortune 500 companies. According to the forecast of an independent Chinese consulting company, China’s public cloud SaaS market will reach 37 billion yuan in 2021, and the enterprise-level SaaS market will reach 74 billion yuan. It is estimated that by 2026, China’s public cloud SaaS market will exceed 100 billion yuan and the enterprise-level SaaS market will exceed 270 billion yuan. In the future, as a large number of traditional Chinese companies start their digital transformation, China’s SaaS market is expected to encounter an upward turning point of explosive development. Faced with the upcoming market break out of Customer Engagement SaaS in China, Yimin Wu decided to take the company public on the Nasdaq and use the power of the international capital market to accelerate the company’s development. Yimin Wu believes that Infobird’s IPO gives investors around the world a unique opportunity to profit from the exceptional high-growth of China’s SaaS industry. Compared with US domestic SaaS companies that are currently listed on major US exchanges, the Price to Sales (“PS”) ratio of Infobird is about 3 to 5 times less than that of US peers. The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of sales for a stock. A low ratio implies the stock is undervalued, while a ratio that is higher-than-average indicates that the stock may be overvalued. Pricing Infobird’s IPO at a relative lower valuation attracts interest from long-term and strategic investors who understand value investment concepts and can accompany Infobird over the long run. The company believes that investors with a long-term value investment philosophy can best help Infobird to grow steadily and will be richly rewarded. On April 20, 2021, Infobird (NASDAQ: IFBD) was officially listed on NASDAQ in the United States. With the IPO proceeds, Yimin Wu intends to further push the shift of the company’s suite of products from customized SaaS to standardized module SaaS. Infobird is currently promoting its independently developed standardized SaaS products to further penetrate into multiple new markets and industries in China. Infobird’s extensive experience serving ultra-large financial institutions with customized SaaS products facilitates the rapid development of more standardized SaaS products and a quickly growing market share. At present, some investors believe that Infobird is on the edge of explosive growth in the company’s performance and that the company’s business is at an inflection point in a comprehensive transformation. It’s expected that within three years of Infobird’s IPO, sales of company’s standard SaaS service will greatly increase the company’s customer base, market share and profitability as well as set the stage for extended growth well into the future. At the company’s internal celebration meeting held on the first day of trading, Mr. Wu said, “Infobird pioneered the cloud computing call center, created China’s leading intelligent customer service system, launched the digital intelligent customer management concept, and built a nationwide customer base. It has served more than 70,000 enterprises with independently developed technologies and excellent products.” “The twenty-year-old Infobird is at its growth phase. We are full of passion and drive. We hope to open an unprecedented new path in the field of AI customer business and release more energy, and create greater value for business and society with the tide of economic globalization”. Mr. Wu said that with the help of new technologies, business digitalization has ushered in a turning point. Infobird will strengthen the integration of technology and scenarios in the future and continue to explore more new possibilities in the field of customer engagement. “We dream of letting the light of science and technology illuminate every corner of the business world. Therefore, we choose to be listed on NASDAQ. We must accelerate development with a global vision. The IPO is not the end, it is a new starting point, and it means more opportunities and bigger responsibilities. In order to achieve new growth, we will face more tests and challenges in the future. Maybe Infobird will go through revolutions, but our mission to make customer engagement smart will not change”. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.infobird.com/en/index.html.

Emaginos Inc. Goes Public, Raises Funds to Launch Transformational Public School Model

  • Company focused on unleashing America’s greatest natural resource — the minds of its children
  • Man behind game-changing educational model says young people will drive economy, become guardians of democracy
  • Emaginos model designed to engage students in the learning process
Founded by a former public school system superintendent, Emaginos is a company committed to transforming public education. And after more than a decade of careful preparation, creation, testing and proving, Emaginos has gone public in order to raise capital for further development and placement of its transformational public school model (https://ibn.fm/vxbVT). “We are eager to raise funds to implement our program to unleash America’s greatest natural resource – the minds of our children,” said Emaginos president Allan Jones, who has more than 40 years of experience in educational innovation and improvement While its mission is lofty, the Emaginos approach is simple: The company provides a wide range of resources from technology infrastructure and curriculum to training and other services that enable local school districts to transform and operate their schools based on the Emaginos proven model. The cost of the system is the same — or less— than current public school education costs, and the education is far better. The man behind the Emaginos plan is Dr. Keith Larick, who served as superintendent of the Tracy Unified School District in Tracy, California, for years. “The only truly renewable resource we have in our country today is our students,” says Larick (https://ibn.fm/HjaNU). “Those young people who attend our elementary, middle, high schools, colleges and universities are the source of creativity, innovation and invention that will drive our economy and become guardians of our democracy. To thrive and grow, they must have a learning environment that provides a foundation of basic skills, is personal, and includes competence in problem solving and application of knowledge to relevant real life problems.” It is that learning environment that Emaginos is focused on providing. While Larick was superintendent, he worked with three experienced educators to create the optimal K-12 education program based on student-centered and organizational best practices. The program they designed has been tested over the past decade and has been proven successful time and time again in providing personalized learning experiences for students with all types of learning styles and needs. At the heart of the Emaginos model is engaging students in the learning process, which increases their attention and focus, motivates their critical thinking skills and promotes a more meaningful educational experience. Every good educator knows that when students are engaged, learning takes place, and the Emaginos Discovery Learning System (“DLS”) offers a systemic transformation from the current teacher-centered model to a K-12 public education system that fosters a student’s desire to learn. “Emaginos’ strength is in providing personalized learning for students with different styles and needs,” said Larick, now Emaginos chief education officer and a national leader in the field of integrating technology into teaching. “Over the past 10 years, the Tracy Unified School District’s three beta test schools that developed and implemented the model have graduated over 1,200 students representing a 96% graduation rate. Following their model, Emaginos provides the tools for young people to be effective in any profession Dedicated to transforming K-12 public schools to a model composed of integrated proven best practices, Emaginos opposes replacing public schools with charter schools or damaging public schools by draining resources through vouchers or school choice programs. Emaginos firmly believes in restoring the concept of the neighborhood schools as the center of the community. To achieve this vision, Emaginos begins by transforming an initial school in the district to a charter school as a model for the transformation. The charter model in this instance uses the concept as it was intended, to test and demonstrate the effectiveness and efficacy of a new model in the district.  After the model is successful in the charter school, the lessons learned in transforming the initial school are used to directly transform the rest of the schools into effective public schools.

Mobius Interactive Ltd. Gary Eldridge Talks with G&M News About Mobius Opportunity, Funding and Future 

  • Eldridge joined the Mobius team when he saw “an opportunity to build a very serious company” in the gaming industry
  • Company plans to go public by mid-summer
  • Mobius is seeking out partnerships, joint ventures in North and South America
Gary Eldridge, co-founder and chairman at Mobius Interactive was a recent guest on the G&M 1-on-1 interview series, which featured leading executives who are part of the gaming and media space (https://ibn.fm/qZpVd). During the interview, Eldridge talked about why he got involved with Mobius and what the future looks like for the up-and-coming online gaming operator. Eldridge has created and managed public and private companies worldwide over the past 30 years. He is an experienced entrepreneur with strong knowledge in strategic planning and development for start-up companies. Throughout the interview, he shared Mobius Interactive’s success, which launched in September 2020 with three attractive and successful brands for gamers. He has had many opportunities to take companies public and feels honored to be a part of this one. Mobius was in the planning stages when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and things came to a standstill. However, Mobius CEO Lynn Pearce was introduced to Eldridge through mutual friends (https://ibn.fm/owbni). Pearce has been involved in the gambling industry for more than two decades, with the last 12 years spent in online ventures. Eldridge saw “an opportunity to build a very serious company” and joined the team. As part of its growth, Mobius is looking into participating in a joint-venture partnership in a bricks-and-mortar operation. It’s an opportunity that has become possible due to a large increase in online players during the global lockdowns. The company is also seeking out partnerships and joint-ventures with gaming affiliates in North and South America, or as Eldridge put it, “wherever they may happen.” “For owners that are open to the idea of joint venture, there’s opportunity for everybody. It’s a real win-win-win,” said Eldridge. “It’s going to make it very attractive for us and local markets to be marketing with something that’s already a recognized brand. They’re going to get the benefit of dealing with us and the brand. Our affiliates are going to get the benefit of larger advertising spends, more support, co-branding with the land-based and online which opens up for a broader range of good product.” During the interview, Eldridge noted that the company is in the midst of another financing process. “Our plan is to take the company public by mid-summer of this year. As the company grows, we are in a position to fund it,” he said. This positive funding is in part due to the boom in esports and the gaming industry as a whole. Currently, the esports market is on track to surpass $1.5 billion by 2023. Viewership is expected to increase at a 9% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) between 2019 and 2023 (https://ibn.fm/37x6P). There is much change within the gaming industry, from the government’s need for revenue to everyone being impacted by COVID. During the interview, Eldridge pointed out the government can’t monetize something that isn’t legal; therefore, the shifts in government’s acceptance and legalization in this space provide a great opportunity as new revenue streams are sought out. People won’t stop betting just because their local casino has shut down due to the pandemic, he noted. They’ll look elsewhere — like online — for opportunities.

PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) Partners with Celebrity Chef to Create PlantXReset Program

  • Chef Anne Thornton launched Plant Reset after being furloughed due to COVID
  • A trained professional chef with a finance background, Thornton has seen financial success throughout her career
  • The new PlantXReset is already seeing significant interest; the plant-based platform is only continuing to grow
PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF), the one-stop-shop for people living plant-based lives, has a new partnership with one of the most recognized plant-based chefs in the United States: Chef Anne Thornton (https://ibn.fm/U9Cls). Together PlantX life and Thornton will create a new and exclusive PlantX Reset. Thornton launched The Plant Reset in Los Angeles to show people that vegan and plant-based diets are not beige or boring. This unique food option can be beautiful, vibrant and nutrient packed. Thornton’s Plant Reset program is focused on offering five days of organic, unprocessed and locally sourced meals. The program is aimed at reducing carbon footprint, boosting the immune system and improving energy levels. “Reset recipes are designed to increase focus, improve gut health, clear brain fog and alleviate a myriad of other issues while enabling enjoyment of delicious food and drinks,” said Thornton. “Moreover, beyond saving time, energy and calories by outsourcing their meal planning, shopping and cooking, Reset customers can also save 5,610 gallons of water, 204 pounds of grain, 153 square feet of forest, 102 pounds of CO2, and five animal lives by eating the 100% vegan and organic Reset meals for five days.” Thornton is a classically trained professional chef with a finance background. Her strong financial acumen has led to financial success throughout her career. As she began to notice more and more people turning to plant-based brands and menu items, she saw an opportunity to help people fall in love with plant-based eating. When she was furloughed due to COVID-19, she decided to commit fully to the plant-based lifestyle. Friends started taking notice and let her know that, if she were cooking for them, they too would choose a plant-based lifestyle. After talking to a friend who is a plant-forward nutritionist, she learned that committing to five days led to more lasting lifestyle changes. With her nutritionist friend’s guidance, she created a program designed to increase metabolism while also providing abundant filling meals. By partnering with PlantX to create a brand new PlantXReset, Thornton will be able to share her passion with people across North America. The meals will be available for delivery and distribution throughout Canada; the company has plans to launch the same offering in the United States through the company’s e-commerce platforms in the coming weeks. “Anne is a legend in the culinary industry, and we are so excited to start our collaboration with her,” said PlantX founder Sean Dollinger. “Her incredible expertise and dedication to human and planetary health are fully aligned with PlantX’s values, and together we hope to help our plant-based community thrive and reach new levels of health and wellness.” PlantX is seeing tremendous growth. The company recently reported a record-breaking third quarter with a 298% increase from the previous quarter, generating gross revenue of $1,832,484 for the three months (https://ibn.fm/SeukX).

Brain Scientific Inc. (BRSF) Joins Forces with JelikaLite to Reduce Symptoms of Autism

  • BRSF and JelikaLite have joined forces in a clinical trial for reducing autism symptoms in children
  • JelikaLite uses PRM therapy to reduce autism symptoms
  • BRSF sees this as an important step forward in wider adoption of affordable, accessible EEG systems

The neurology-focused medical device and software company Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF) announced on March 16, 2021, it is collaborating with JelikaLite in a clinical trial. The clinical trial, which began in March 2021, is designed to potentially uncover new treatment options to reduce autism symptoms in children. The trial has 30 participants from two New York City locations.

JelikaLite was launched by medical researchers and practitioners specializing in psychology, neurology and phototherapy. The company has developed an innovative solution to potentially reduce autism symptoms and is developing a home-based system that combines a therapeutic wearable device called Cognilum(TM) with an AI-personalized platform. The goal is to create personalized recommendations for each child’s individual treatment through data collection, analysis and reporting, leading to gains in communication and daily living skills.

Cognilum delivers treatments through transcranial photobiomodulation, also known as PBM therapy. Using an innovative red and near-infrared light treatment, cellular function is stimulated. This type of therapy is already being used for wound healing, tissue regeneration, inflammation, pain management, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation and restoration of normal cellular function. It is currently being studied for multiple neurological disorders, including but not limited to traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and opioid addiction.

Through the clinical trial, children diagnosed with autism will receive brain treatments through Cognilum while BRSF’s next-generation NeuroEEG monitors brain activity. BRSF was recently awarded FDA clearance (https://ibn.fm/hvY1I) for its new version of the NeuroCap, which offers expanded size ranges for children.

There are approximately 1.5 million children in the United States who have autism, which is one of the fastest-growing developmental disorders in this country. The lifetime costs of autism range anywhere from $1.4 to $2.2 million (https://ibn.fm/Vhb4D).

“We are delighted to begin this collaboration with JelikaLite,” said Irina Nazarova, director of marketing at BRSF. “Our Neuro EEG solutions have a wide range of applications, and helping to monitor children with autism to improve their well-being would be an important step towards a wider adoption of affordable and accessible EEG systems like ours.”

Grapefruit USA Inc. (GPFT) Launches E-Commerce Site Featuring Gamechanging Hourglass CBD Cream

  • GPFT offers convenient, one-stop shop for line of CBD-only-derived version of patented Hourglass cream
  • Consumers can only find Hourglass-powered, CBD-derived Grapefruit products from Grapefruit or its authorized agents
  • Patented Hourglass technology differentiates Grapefruit products from other in the CBD space
In a world where convenience is a priority and sought-after products are only a click away, Grapefruit USA (OTCQB: GPFT) has unveiled a new line of hemp-derived, CBD-only products and launched a new U.S. e-commerce website to ensure the line is easily accessible (https://ibn.fm/gldh7). The new site will serve as the online home for Grapefruit’s growing portfolio of Hourglass(TM) CBD product lines. “Grapefruit is gratified and proud to offer our U.S. and international customers a convenient, one-stop shop to purchase our hemp CBD-only-derived versions of Hourglass time-release delivery cream powered products,” said Grapefruit CEO Bradley J. Yourist, who noted that because Grapefruit’s original Hourglass technology-based products contained THC, the company was not able to sell those products across state lines or internationally. “No such federal legal barrier exists for our new hemp-derived CBD only products,” he explained. “So as our unique and innovative portfolio of hemp CBD-only-based products expands and transforms, Grapefruit will offer novel and competitively priced, high-quality CBD, hemp-only-derived products incorporating the Hourglass technology based time-release delivery to our customers. Furthermore, and most importantly, the public will only be able to buy the vastly superior, Hourglass-powered, hemp CBD-derived Grapefruit products from Grapefruit and/or its authorized agents.” The patented Hourglass technology differentiates Grapefruit products from the rest of the CBD products clamoring for consumer attention. The exclusive technology maximizes cutting-edge science to solve absorbability problems inherent with most cannabinoid topical creams. Grapefruit’s novel delivery system uses patented microsized particles to deliver THC and a wide range of cannabinoids through skin topical administration. According to the company, no other topical cream product on the market provides users with the holistic benefits of the wide range of cannabinoids offered through Grapefruit. “Our cream has fundamentally changed the way individuals use THC and cannabinoids to obtain their holistic benefits,” states the company (https://ibn.fm/0aDpr). “As a result, smoking cannabis or hemp flowers and orally consuming edibles, which are metabolized in the gut and liver resulting in uneven reactions, are no longer the exclusive ways to receive the holistic benefits of THC and cannabinoids. Now for the first time in history, there is an effective, easy to use third choice — Hourglass by Grapefruit.” Hourglass is a patented, disruptive gamechanger in the recreational and medicinal cannabis and CBD market. Grapefruit is devoted to selling only high-quality, laboratory tested, and reliable products. All of Grapefruit’s hemp CBD-based products to be marketed and sold on the new e-commerce website will be tested and come with a QR coded Certificate of Analysis, which provides consumers with a certified precise and accurate labeling of the product’s cannabinoid content, purity and safety.

TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness Ltd. (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQB: TOBAF) Market Survey Yields Valuable Insights, Reveals Positive Impression 

  • Two-part market study focused on response to TAAT concept, brand image and product-user experience
  • Responses enabled company to make near-term business decisions based on a combination of practical, theoretical insights
  • Noteworthy results from the study focus on price and ordering availability
Price and the ability to purchase online are key factors for adult-age smokers, according to a recent two-part market research study conducted for TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness (CSE: TAAT) OTCQB: TOBAF) by Toronto-based market research firm Burak Jacobson Partners Inc. The study specifically focused on response to the TAAT(TM) concept, brand image and product-user experience; general response indicated that majority of participants have an overall positive impression of the company, which recently launched its flagship product TAAT(TM), a tobacco-free, nicotine-free cigarette alternative. “Conducting this study among smokers aged 21+ in Ohio and neighboring states after launching the product in Q4 2020 enables us to make near-term business decisions based on a combination of practical and theoretical insights,” said TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella. “Based on how frequently TAAT is reordered by retailers in Ohio and purchased online by smokers aged 21+ across the country, we know there is continued interest.” The consumer research study polled a group of more than 1,200 smokers aged 21 and older in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois regarding their perception of TAAT and how they might use TAAT, either in place of or alongside their current tobacco cigarette of choice. The survey group was comprised of 60% male and 40% female respondents, with approximately 70% residing in suburban or rural areas. On average, smokers in this group consumed more than 90 cigarettes per week, and nearly one-third were users of both tobacco cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. Noteworthy results from the study focus on price and ordering availability. For instance, respondents who indicated a desire to discontinue or cut down on smoking were asked: What, if anything, do you dislike about smoking cigarettes? A significant majority of those — more than 65% — pointed to the cost of purchasing tobacco cigarettes as being a key issue. In addition, more than half of all survey respondents stated that they either definitely would or probably would purchase TAAT at certain proposed price points. Of the 28% who indicated they definitely Would purchase the product, nearly half pointed to the retail price being more affordable than their regular brand of cigarettes. The option of purchasing TAAT was a huge point of interest; 95% of respondents stating this was an extremely appealing, very appealing or somewhat appealing aspect of TAAT. The second part of the survey involved sending a group of 175 Ohio respondents sample cartons of TAAT Original, Smooth, or Menthol and asking them to complete an in-home trial and then provide feedback through an online questionnaire. Key results of that part of the study indicate that nearly 75% of responses rated the game-changing product as very good or somewhat good; the rating was significantly higher — 84% —among those who sampled TAAT Menthol. This is the type of information TAAT was looking for when it commissioned the study. “We need far more information . . . in order to intelligently plan our efforts to roll TAAT out on a larger scale,” said Coscarella. “In this two-part consumer research study, we learned many things about how TAAT is perceived both as a brand and as a product in concept, in addition to how the user experience of TAAT is regarded among those who sampled it. The responses to this study reinforced our belief that TAAT has several competitive advantages in the USD $814 billion global tobacco industry, including the novel element of being nicotine free and tobacco free, an attractive price point compared to tobacco cigarettes, and the ability to purchase TAAT online. As we expand our market footprint in 2021, we intend to capitalize on these advantages to capture the interest of smokers aged 21+ and further establish TAAT as a better choice and a recognized brand name in the tobacco category.” TAAT Lifestyle and Wellness has developed TAAT, a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes available in Original, Smooth and Menthol varieties. TAAT’s base material is Beyond Tobacco(TM), a proprietary blend that undergoes a patent-pending refinement technique causing its scent and taste to resemble tobacco. Under executive leadership with Big Tobacco pedigree, TAAT was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion global tobacco industry.

ISWH Holdings Inc. (ISWH) Embraces Future of Medicine with TeleCare

  • Global home healthcare market is projected to reach $515.6 billion by 2027
  • With recent launch of TeleCare Home Health, ISWH is well positioned to capitalize on telehealth’s sudden momentum
  • ISWH notes that “the unprecedented increase in telehealth use during the current crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity”
ISWH Holdings (OTC: ISWH), a holding company of diversified partnerships, utilizes strategic expertise to establish market-leading companies and partnerships in sectors that are highly relevant in today’s marketplace. During the global pandemic, telehealth experienced an influx of attention, obstacles that had kept it at bay were removed, and people across the country scrambled to understand and maximize the technology. Over the past year, the $300-billion global home healthcare market has seen rapid growth and is projected to reach $515.6 billion by 2027. With its recent launch of TeleCare Home Health LLC, ISWH is well positioned to capitalize on telehealth’s sudden momentum. Telehealth underwent emergency adjustments because of the critical need for fast implementation during the COVID-19 outbreak. But as the world moves past the pandemic, several factors need to be addressed. Those factors include barriers to digital literacy and telehealth access to all (https://ibn.fm/27pDX). “The unprecedented increase in telehealth use during the current crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity to assess its impact on access to care, the quality of care, and the financial impact on the health care system,” wrote AMA researchers in a perspective essay published in NPJ Digital Medicine (https://ibn.fm/NEgn5). The quick implementation of telehealth was an crisis response to a widespread problem. However, industry experts predict it is also a change that will not be going away. “The pandemic spurred a transition,” stated ISWH president and chair Alonzo Pierce in a recent letter to stakeholders (https://ibn.fm/9RKLD). “And it’s going to be impossible to put the genie back in the bottle afterwards. Companies that fail to embrace the future risk being left behind.” ISWH has already established itself as a technology, home healthcare and wellness company. On March 24, 2021, the company officially announced its launch of TeleCare Home Health LLC, a wholly owned telehealth and home healthcare subsidiary (https://ibn.fm/vqRdo). The company’s new TeleCare Home Health solution is ISWH’s way of implementing more efficient and effective strategies to provide clients, customers and shareholders “with every inch of edge we can muster.” It provides a simple, one-button wearable device for the patient that summons help much like the nurse call button at the hospital. This small telehealth solution provides the home health patient with a higher level of independence without sacrificing supportive care.

Knightscope Autonomous Security Robots: Surrounding Yourself with Safety

  • Silicon Valley-based robot manufacturer Knightscope has developed a variety of autonomous security-monitoring sentries to help business and government clients keep vigilant against perimeter dangers
  • Guarding against property intrusion by hostile elements is a historically tried-and-true solution means of maintaining security
  • Knightscope’s autonomous security robots (“ASRs”) are unsleeping, pandemic-resistant models that can detect a variety of potential dangers to a facility and communicate remotely with personnel responsible for oversight
  • A client in Las Vegas gained media attention last month when the ASRs helped drive a sharp reduction in crime incidents there

Americans have become identified worldwide with the trope of the range-roving cowboy, which in the modern era might be a pistol-packing, brimmed-hat-wearing renegade updated to reflect the stereotype of people who seem practically unaware that anyplace exists outside their personal borders (https://ibn.fm/kKt4d).

The trope may have been earned in a literal sense when military forces adapted the American 19th century invention of barbed wire to the world wars that defined international conflicts in the 20th century, using specialized versions of the range land protection tool to secure defensive perimeters in battle (https://ibn.fm/MtcdC).

In the wake of the insurrectionist attack on Congressional officers at the U.S. Capitol in January, razor wire made its most recent high-profile appearance as an effort to protect the capital complex’s perimeter until it began to be dismantled a month ago (https://ibn.fm/sXOAY).

As Security magazine noted in a recent article, “Keeping unauthorized intruders from entering a business location is a critical part of protecting corporate assets. Perimeters are the first line of defense but do not conform to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ safeguarding solution” (https://ibn.fm/gPpii).

The varied incidents of public mass violence have only served to strengthen the resolve of autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developers at Knightscope, who are working to present Americans with solutions for making public gatherings safe. Knightscope’s focus is on vigilance, leaving decisions about defensive combativeness to the ASRs’ human operators. But the company’s belief is that simply shining a figurative as well as literal light on the dark corners of any establishment may help deter problems.

Knightscope’s three on-market ASR models include an indoor, stationary robot model that monitors its surroundings, a mobile version that is capable of recognizing and navigating around obstacles within a facility, and an outdoor version that patrols the perimeter around a facility.

The ASRs have a wide array of digitally connected artificial intelligence capabilities. They can sense temperature changes in thermal sources, detect digital communication transmissions, perceive people in dark environments, recognize information that might be of particular interest to law enforcement and overseers such as a license plate, record video and audio in 360 degrees, communicate with operators and allow operators to communicate with people around the robot.

“A violent crime occurs every four seconds and a property crime every 25 seconds. … Crime has more than a trillion-dollar negative economic impact on the U.S. every single year,” Knightscope founder and CEO William Santana Li said in a recent YouTube video about him and the company (https://ibn.fm/fT47R).

A Las Vegas apartment complex client demonstrated Knightscope’s potential value in deterring criminal activity through continuous patrolling. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last month that the complex has become “a quieter, more peaceful place to live” since a Knightscope ASR was deployed there in the fall, and a police officer attested to the improved conditions at the site (https://ibn.fm/411PE).

As Knightscope’s list of perimeter-patrol clients grows, so do the stories of the ASRs’ contributions to providing a safer environment for people to function in.

For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Knightscope.com where security professionals and decision makers can book a private demo and learn how to help better secure the places where people work, live, study and visit.
