With Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the rear view mirror, there’s still enough time left in this year’s shopping season to head over the river and through the woods to the local mall for a few last minute gift items. For mom, dad and their growing family of four, however, this holiday shopping experience can include a level of anxiety to which only parents with young children can relate. Not only will their little ones have their senses bombarded with distracting sights, sounds and smells, their limited attention spans run counter to accomplishing the task at hand in any orderly and timely fashion.

Giggles N’ Hugs (OTC: GIGL) opened its first location over five years ago with a keen idea to curb some of the ‘what-to-do-with-kids’ dilemma when mall shopping beckons. Its concept to this day is truly unique, practical and healthy for the whole family. Promoting a healthy menu and surroundings aimed to captivate and meet the needs of children, the company’s plan is on track toward capturing a very lucrative niche for its shareholders. As of today, GIGL owns and operates three locations in greater Los Angeles, and has recently signed an agreement with a well-known New York investment bank to help expand its presence in the market.

The company’s healthy menu is gaining recognition and accolades among its customer base. High-quality organic food within a kid-friendly, casual dining area for adults featuring a huge play area is the model Giggles N’ Hugs has been successfully pursuing. Parents can relax while their children dine on the type of food their growing bodies need while enjoying play areas with birthday themes such as Superhero, Princess, Pirate and Mermaid, Jungle, Dinosaur and many others. Great reviews continue to roll in from customers and mall operators at each of its L.A. locations.

Giggles N Hugs, Inc. owns and operates kid-friendly restaurants with play areas for children 10 years old and younger in California. The company owns and operates a restaurant in the Westfield Mall in Century City, a restaurant in the Westfield Topanga shopping center in Woodland Hills, and a restaurant in the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. Founded in 2010, Giggles N Hugs, Inc. is based in Los Angeles, California.

The global wearable technology market, worth only $750 million back in 2012, has maintained its show stopping growth pattern this year, spurred on by the planet’s biggest tech companies continuing to vie for the pole position in an ongoing race to become the dominant developer of what is seen as essentially the next mobile phone market. Transparency Market Research recently projected a forward CAGR of over 40 percent through 2018 for the space and leading tech-focused market research, analysis and advisory firm, International Data Corporation, estimates that more than 72 million units will ship by this year’s close, a whopping 173 percent jump over last year’s figure, and this figure is seen by IDC as growing to over 155 million units by 2019, on a CAGR of 42.6 percent.

One of the companies pushing the hardest is Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), which bought up Canadian high-tech sports eyewear maker Recon earlier this year. Intel even announced at its recent developer’s forum that the latest iteration of its America’s Greatest Makers contest will have its own long format reality TV show starting early next year.

The world’s biggest chip maker pumping the public for ideas clearly shows how aggressive the wearables game has become and even NASA is now leaning on the public in this way, running a contest to develop a smartwatch app for astronauts on the ISS using the Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) Gear 2 as a reference device for designs. This after units of Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) augmented reality headset, HoloLens, never made it to the ISS, as they were lost earlier this year during the failed CRS-7 Falcon 9 resupply mission by Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) founder Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

According to emerging technology-focused independent market research and business intelligence firm IDTechEx, one of the big trends in wearables is the continuing efflorescence of advanced informatics as wearable electronics. This trend will naturally expand the footprint of wearables in the healthcare market considerably, with truly disruptive implementations in areas such as e-textiles promising billion dollar sales potential, especially for devices that capture the right mix of data capture, communication, and overall functionality. We are already seeing some of the first truly compelling fruits of this race, with companies like Philips (NYSE: PHG) Healthcare teaming up with Google (NASDAQ: GOOG; GOOGL) to merge Philips IntelliVue Solutions technologies with Google Glass, transferring real-time data directly to the eyepiece so that doctors can have a persistent HUD (heads-up display) feeding them patient vital signs, all without ever having to take their eyes off the procedure.

Philips, which developed the IntelliVue MX40 wearable patient monitor that can display real-time patient vital signs on its color touchscreen and yet is light and small enough for ambulatory patients to comfortably wear, has also teamed up with Accenture (NYSE: ACN) in order to fuse together big data and wearable tech in a solution targeted primarily at ALS patients. The proof of concept solution from Philips and Accenture ties together a wearable display with the Emotiv Insight Brainware, a 5-channel wireless headset that records brainwaves, resulting in a device that could provide a great deal of independence to ALS sufferers, as well as others with neurodegenerative diseases. There is a great deal of potential for real-time patient monitoring devices like this and the success of systems like the LifeWatch, a mobile phone connected remote cardiac monitoring wearable from the subsidiary of Switzerland-based telemedicine products and services provider LifeWatch AG (OTC: LFWWF), is a good indicator of how mobile-enabled healthcare wearables that can be used to safeguard lives will fare in coming years.

A new report out from Global Industry Analysts published by Research and Markets, indicates just how attractive the wearable medical device segment of the market is, with a 2020 projection of some $4.5 billion. One of the smaller and much more investor-accessible companies at the forefront of this segment is GTX Corp. (OTC: GTXO), developer of the patented GPS SmartSole®, which sits invisibly inside a piece of footwear and allows for real-time tracking of patients who have a tendency to wander, such as those with Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, and TBI. Recently showcased in Munich at the Telefonica Digital Innovation Day 2015 and featured in AARP’s 2015 technology gear guide, the SmartSole even beat out Samsung’s Gear S at the 2015 CTIA “Hot for the Holidays” Super Mobility Awards in the Wearables, Health, Fitness and Wellness category, coming in second only to Microsoft’s smartwatch with heart rate monitor, the Microsoft Band.

Applications for the SmartSole however run far and wide beyond just healthcare. The device is quickly gaining ground in a variety of tracking roles, such as real-time monitoring of high value assets like foreign diplomats and other government employees, as well as high level executives. Former NFL pro Jack Brewer, who got his start with the Minnesota Vikings and was known as one of the top defensive backs and special teams players in the league, playing key leadership roles for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles before going on to found and be the CEO of The Brewer Group Companies, has even officially endorsed the SmartSole in this capacity. Brewer, whose career and charitable work constantly takes him all over the globe, uses the SmartSole as a way for family and colleagues to easily track his whereabouts, as well as view a detailed real-time trail of where he has been using the GTX Smart Locator app.

The SmartSole is an ingenious design, powerful enough to satisfy all the demands that consumers place upon such a solution, yet surreptitious enough to avoid the stigma cognitive impairment sufferers may experience, as well as detection by would-be kidnappers.

For over 10,000 years, the hemp plant has been a valuable crop used for a variety of purposes. From clothing and building materials to paper and health products, hemp played a key role in the formation of nations and the emergence of global powers. Up until 1776, many colonies passed laws to encourage farmers to grow the useful crop, and Virginia even passed a law that imposed a fine on those who didn’t plant hemp.

Years later, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed, and taxes were imposed on the domestic production of industrial hemp crops. Just 20 years later, these taxes had effectively eliminated domestic hemp production, making it too expensive to compete with international operations. In 1970, the Marihuana Tax Act was repealed and replaced by the Controlled Substances Act, which mistakenly classified hemp as a schedule I substance and outlawed its production across the nation.

Despite bans on production, industrial hemp has been legal to import into the U.S. for years. According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, industrial hemp in Canada – a major supplier to the U.S. – is just shy of a $1 billion industry. In 2013, Canadian farmers were clearing profits in excess of $250 per acre, which, when compared to the $71 per acre that American farmers net from soy crops, could represent a major financial boost for the nation’s struggling agricultural industry.

While hemp production remains banned at the federal level, tremendous progress has been made in recent years toward correcting the ban. In 2014, President Obama signed a bill that removed hemp grown for research purposes from the Controlled Substances Act. Later that year, Congress blocked the Drug Enforcement Administration from using federal funds to interfere with state-legal industrial hemp programs. Since then, states have been taking it upon themselves to revitalize hemp production while studying the potential economic and ecological benefits.

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), through wholly-owned subsidiary Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC, is set to capitalize on the country’s growing hemp movement through the operation of the largest decortication plant in North America, which is located in Spring Hope, North Carolina. In a forward thinking move, the company’s management team initiated construction and installation activities at the 70,000-square-foot warehouse months ago in preparation for the imminent legalization of industrial hemp production in the state. Hemp, Inc. plans to complete the decortication plant by the end of the year, and this timing could be ideal to capitalize on North Carolina’s evolving regulatory atmosphere regarding industrial hemp.

Earlier this month, North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory passed Senate Bill 313, marking a significant step toward sustainable financial growth for Hemp, Inc. The purposes of the law are to “establish an agricultural pilot program for the cultivation of industrial hemp in the state… and to pursue any federal permits or waivers necessary to allow industrial hemp to be grown in the state.”

Hemp, Inc.’s decision to keep its decortication plant in North Carolina appears set to pay off in the coming months. For prospective shareholders, the company is an intriguing opportunity to capitalize on the impending reemergence of one of the world’s oldest and most useful crops.

On November 12, 2015, Georgia became the latest state to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes. There are now twenty states that have laws permitting the use of cannabis for health reasons. They are Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Another four states – Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington – and the District of Columbia allow the recreational use of cannabis, and at least two more, Mississippi and Nebraska, have decriminalized the possession of marijuana for personal use.

Freedom Leaf, Inc. (OTC: FRLF) is taking the tide for decriminalization of marijuana at the flood. The groundswell of public support for the decriminalization of marijuana and the dismantling of laws prohibiting its use for medicinal and leisure purposes has been growing. A survey conducted by the PewResearchCenter in April 2015 found that 53% of Americans believe cannabis should be legalized, and it’s not just ordinary citizens. At least three U.S. presidents have admitted to smoking marijuana… even if they didn’t all inhale. Yet the drug remains on the federal government’s list of Schedule I drugs, defined as the most dangerous of the controlled substances.

Freedom Leaf, Inc aims to change that. The company has established a brand that will capitalize on the change in public acceptance of marijuana. The brand will capture America’s freedom-loving, anti-establishment spirit and monetize it by building a news, arts and entertainment business, with both in-print and online publications. Currently, the company publishes the Freedom Leaf magazine that disseminates information about marijuana, particularly legislative developments, to investors and members of the public. Its byline is The Good News in Marijuana Reform. But capitalizing on the artsy image of cannabis, the magazine also reports on the arts, fashion and lifestyles.

Freedom Leaf, Inc offers a variety of services that includes brand licensing and marketing, advertising, and business incubation. The Freedom Leaf brand will be licensed to enterprises that wish to market marijuana or associated products. The company will also offer other marketing services such as seminars, music festivals, and promotional material. Adverting space is available on the Freedom Leaf online properties which include a number of existing and under-construction websites, such as FreedomLeaf.com, MarijuanaNews.com, CannaSpa.com, Vegasterdam.com, CannabisSeminars.com, CampusCannabisDebate.com, Cannabis Business University and LadyCannabis.com. The company also intends to acquire and incubate new businesses entering the cannabis-hemp industry with the aim of later spin-off.

Estimates of growth of the marijuana industry give credibility to Freedom Leaf’s corporate objectives. A recent article in the Huffington Post reported that ‘marijuana is the fastest-growing industry in the United States’. It went on to state: ‘Researchers from The ArcView Group, a cannabis industry investment and research firm based in Oakland, California, found that the U.S. market for legal cannabis grew 74 percent in 2014 to $2.7 billion, up from $1.5 billion in 2013.’ In 2015, the market is expected to grow by over 30%. It appears that Freedom Leaf, Inc. is in the right place at the right time.

Cherubim Interests, Inc. (OTC: CHIT) is strategically positioned to realize considerable growth in the months to come, and the company is now making efforts to reward the loyal shareholders who have supported it throughout its transitional phases. As part of these efforts, Cherubim recently announced its inaugural convertible preferred stock dividend, which is intended benefit shareholders of record as of December 31, 2015. Following the cutoff date, the company plans to issue one restricted preferred share of Cherubim Interests for every 100,000 shares held. The company will also issue fractional shares for investors who have purchased less than 100,000 shares.

“This announcement and impending issuance will help those that have seen the dilution in the open market affect their cost average,” Patrick Johnson, chief executive officer of Cherubim, stated in a news release. “Issuing anti-dilutive convertible preferred securities to stockholders as dividends also ensures that they will not be impacted by third-party debt conversions.”

The dividend announcement came just a day after Cherubim signed a memorandum of understanding with United Cannabis Corp. (OTC: CNAB) outlining plans to supply, deploy and provide the technical means to cultivate cannabis. Through subsidiary BudCube Cultivation Systems (BCS), Cherubim will seek to provide the capital investment needed to cover real estate purchases, improvements, construction and deployment for rental locations. After Cherubim delivers, installs and connects the necessary modules to promote cannabis cultivation, CNAB will provide fee-based consulting services on a variety of topics – including standard operating procedures, cultivation, inventory control and management systems, genetics counseling and testing procedures, extract processing and equipment design and proprietary product lines.

By gaining access to CNAB’s existing industry relationships and expertise, Cherubim greatly accelerated its timeline. According to Johnson, the company is now a year or more ahead of its original schedule, and CNAB’s data regarding client servicing is expected to play a key role as Cherubim seeks to promote sustainable growth moving forward.

Cherubim specializes in alternative construction projects by covering the full spectrum of real estate development. The company’s subsidiary, BCS, has developed a fully portable and scalable method of cultivating cannabis, as well as many other plant species, in a diverse range of climate conditions. Cherubim is currently leveraging a unique business model that combines these two fields by developing modular, turn-key cultivation facilities that can be leased to both upstart and established cultivators.

Avant Diagnostics, Inc. is a company that focuses on the commercialization of proprietary microarray-based tests for the early detection of cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and more. The company’s leading product is OvaDx®, a non-invasive pre-screening test that detects ovarian cancer by measuring the activation of the immune system in blood samples in response to early stage ovarian tumor cell development. This is the market’s first large panel screening test designed to detect ovarian cancer early. With early detection, more treatment options become available for patients that should delay or prevent disease progression. OvaDx® would be an optional supplement to existing tests such as CA-125, OVA1, and transvaginal ultrasounds.

In October 2015, Avant Diagnostics received a notice that its previously purchased specimens had been approved to use in the upcoming validation study to support a pre-Submission package to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company intends to start the FDA validation study shortly after completing calibration testing. Once that process is finalized, Avant Diagnostics will test the approved specimens as a basis for the submission package. The company hopes its innovative product can then begin its 510(k) trial.

In a news release, Gregg Linn, Avant’s chief executive officer and president, stated, “Avant continues to make steady progress towards its goal of obtaining FDA 510(k) clearance for OvaDx®. We intend to periodically communicate with our shareholders and markets as we progress through the FDA negotiations and through FDA’s review of our 510(k) submission.”

According to the American Cancer Society, 21,290 women are expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2015 alone. Adding to that number are 14,180 deaths from the disease. Furthermore, 1 in 75 women are at risk for this disease, which is the fifth leading cause of female cancer deaths.

By developing effective pre-screening tests, like OvaDx®, Avant Diagnostics aims to greatly improve the quality of life among patients by giving them the opportunity for early treatment options.

Legacy Ventures International, Inc. (OTC: LGYV) recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, RM Fresh Brands, has entered into an agreement with CJR Wholesale Grocers Ltd to supply Boxed Water to Rabba Fine Foods. Since 1967, Toronto-based Rabba Fine Foods has become an influential name in the Canadian retail industry by offering a quality selection of food and beverage products in a convenient, European-style store. Today, there are more than 30 Rabba Fine Foods locations across Canada.

“Rabba Fine Foods leads by example of local grocers who take pride in carrying food and beverage products of the highest quality,” Ron Patel, president of RM Fresh Brands, stated in a news release. “Boxed Water is all about sustainability and simplicity while providing convenience in a packaged water product, and we are thrilled to come together with Rabba to offer this forward-thinking and socially conscious product to their customers.”

Since acquiring RM Fresh Brands in October, Legacy has made considerable progress toward capitalizing on its exclusive Canadian distribution rights for Boxed Water. In recent weeks, the company has utilized a viral marketing campaign designed to increase awareness about the product and its environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional bottled water packaging. In support of this campaign, Legacy teamed up with Holt Renfrew, Canada’s premier destination for luxury retail, to provide Boxed Water at its Holiday Kick Off and Charity Shopping Event last month.

The environmental benefits of Boxed Water are numerous. The product’s packaging, for example, is 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable, opening the door for a considerably lower carbon footprint than water packaged in plastic bottles. According to studies by Cradle to Gate, Boxed Water packaging has less than half of the carbon footprint of a PET bottle, and this benefit is compounded when it comes to shipping. With proper loading, one truckload of Boxed Water cartons contains the equivalent of 26 truckloads of plastic bottles.

Following the announcement of its agreement to supply Boxed Water to Rabba Fine Foods, Legacy is in a strong position to build on its recent momentum and broaden its distribution channels in the months to come. Look for the company to leverage the increased brand awareness provided by its ongoing viral marketing efforts in order to promote sustainable financial growth in the months to come.

Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin was recently was honored with the Jack Herer Cannabis Hemp Award in recognition of Hemp, Inc.’s “Major Achievement in the Hemp Industry.” The awards ceremony was held to not only benefit and bring awareness to the hemp industry, but awareness to the industry in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We are very proud to have been nominated and to receive this award. On behalf of Hemp, Inc., I would like to thank everyone for every ounce of energy they have put into Jack Herer’s legacy and the continual push of legalizing hemp throughout the United States,” said Perlowin. “It can be difficult to start a company that succeeds in an industry where it is only ‘somewhat legal.’ However, with the help of thousands of people advocating and supporting the hemp industry we are succeeding.”

Producer and co-creator of the Jack Herer Cannabis Awards, Michael Whalen, recognized Perlowin and Hemp, Inc.’s impact on industrial hemp industry with the only commercial industrial hemp decortication facility in the United States. Perlowin was also recognized for shifting the company’s focus toward a more advanced processing in the milling line.

“We were honored to recognize Bruce Perlowin and Hemp, Inc. at the 1st Annual Jack Herer Cannabis Awards on November 28, 2015,” Michael Whalen stated in the news release. “Since this is our first year bringing recognition to some of the leaders and innovators in the cannabis and hemp industries, we kept our awards small … focusing on about seven recipients who we felt really made a difference and who are continuing to pave the way for others as this multi-billion dollar industry unfolds after being suppressed for decades.”

Though Hemp, Inc. will continue to market its hemp-based cosmeceutical and nutraceutical product lines, the legalization of industrial hemp in North Carolina has enabled the company to transition toward a more advanced processing in the milling line.

“In terms of generating profit for the company, our multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, will undoubtedly outweigh any sales revenue generated from our product line. This is why we have been full speed ahead with our decortication line which is expected to be fully operational by the second quarter of 2016. It is the only commercial facility in America at this time that will be able to process raw hemp,” said Perlowin.

Hemp, Inc. is also producing lost circulation material (LCM), a much needed resource utilized in the oil and drilling industries. LCM is reportedly hard to source from oversees, and Hemp, Inc. has the capability to provide a local source of better quality LCMs and the means to produce a steady, consistent supply.

With many analysts currently debating whether or not it is going to be an Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Christmas this year, as consumers flock in increasing numbers not to traditional brick and mortar stores, but to ecommerce meccas and standalone retailer sites – you might forget that the lion’s share of what was a roughly $5 trillion U.S. retail market last year (Census Bureau’s Monthly Retail Trade Survey) came from physical commerce. U.S. Commerce Department data indicates that ecommerce was about $305 billion last year and a recent report from eMarketer projects a 14 percent jump this year to around $350 billion. While ecommerce may be sharply rising, shoe leather will still be driving retail sales this Christmas, and it makes sense to take a look at what major retailers and mall owners are doing to cultivate the consumer audience.

With around 47,000 shopping centers and some 1,100 enclosed malls containing one or two large department stores (anchor stores) across this great country of ours, shoppers have quite a sizable menu of locations to choose from. Because almost half of all malls cater to high-income shoppers, it makes a great deal of sense for mall owners/operators to attract smaller stores that can act as a draw on this much sought after demographic, bringing consumers to the table where they can sup on the venue’s broader retail bounty.

This underlying dynamic is extremely good news for a rising star like Giggles N’ Hugs (OTC: GIGL), a company focused on expanding its existing footprint of highly successful family-friendly restaurants which are thus far located in high-end shopping centers throughout LA. These unique restaurants cater to both the discerning palates of adults with premium organic dishes, and the rambunctious behavior of kids under ten, with custom-made 2,000 square foot-plus active play areas. A restaurant that is part upscale organic eatery and part Gymboree is a completely new concept in the casual dining sector, and one which has quickly won over parents and kids alike throughout Los Angeles. It’s an innovative model that has garnered the company many admirers, from A-list celebrities, to family and kid-focused media moguls such as Nickelodeon and Red Tricycle.

The same refreshing Giggles N’ Hugs restaurant features that allow parents to show up with their youngest and turn them loose into the play area before enjoy a relaxing and healthy meal has also enabled the company to offer an unprecedented child drop-off service for busy parents on the go. Kids are watched over in the massive play area by trained staff and are treated to periodic activities that range from singalongs and face painting to shows put on by professional child entertainers. Parents who want to enjoy the many wonderful stores throughout the mall or shopping center where the restaurant is located without having to keep tabs on the little ones or find them underfoot can do so with ease if a Giggles N’ Hugs is located in the mall.

This is the kind of tenant mall owners are really looking for and GIGL, which already has a solid tenant relationship with major nationwide mall owner Westfield Group (OTC: WEFIF), has even recently taken decisive steps to increase momentum toward becoming a national presence and/or franchise with the execution of a strategic financial advisory and capital markets service agreement. Signed at the start of December this year, GIGL’s agreement with boutique NY investment bank Chardan Capital Markets, dovetails exceptionally well with the company’s ongoing nationwide expansion plans and will enable the company to maximize its forward momentum in this area.

Chardan’s considerable expertise runs the gamut from investment banking and trading/equity research, to helping its clients prepare presentations which are to be made before potential financing sources, and Chardan even assists clients with a panoply of financial advisory services. The Chardan deal opens new doors for GIGL’s sought after brand concept and should really help GIGL open additional locations in higher end malls across America next year and on into the future. Additionally, this agreement will allow GIGL to lock down a concise ramping strategy for up-listing its shares to a major exchange as early as next year.

Hot off a superb showing at the 8th annual LD Micro conference’s main event last week, GIGL – whose gorgeous Westfield Century City mall location off Santa Monica Boulevard is just minutes from the Luxe Sunset Bel Air Hotel where the 8th annual LD Micro was held – is really turning heads in the casual dining market. Investors should keep an eye on the company as its plans to expand to new locations progress, and as Chardan helps to increase the company’s market exposure.
