The recent fingerprint hacking of over five million United States government employees raises questions about the safety of biometrics. Biometrics, a technology that measures and analyzes biological data like voice, fingerprint, iris, and facial scans, is used by companies like Apple and Samsung to unlock user-specific products. However, rising concerns over biometric use within customer-based businesses after the latest breaching of fingerprint data need to be addressed.

Elephant Talk Communications Corporation (NYSE MKT: ETAK), a global provider of Software Defined Network Architecture (ET Software DNA® 2.0) platforms and security solutions, suggests we move towards voice biometric technologies with multi-factor authentication to increase personal identity safety. The current fingerprint biometric trend lacks the option of changing should a breach happen. Fingerprints are static which means they can never be altered, therefore, once stolen the information remains available indefinitely. However, voice biometrics are dynamic which allows for fast alterations should they be compromised.

Various companies are working on biometric interface systems for users that provide safer security measures. ValidSoft, a subsidiary of Elephant Talk, offers security services that use voice biometrics coupled with multi-factor authentication approaches for the development of advanced verification systems to keep sensitive information protected. This means that the company provides multiple layers (factors) of security for each user, making hacking almost impossible. One factor, like a password, can be easily accessed while contextual data specific to a user with other factors proves more difficult. By using the latest in voice biometric algorithm technology, ValidSoft offers user-specific verification software.

Elephant Talk believes in the value of both static and dynamic biometrics, though insists on companies not using them by themselves. For greater security, validation technologies should use multiple factors, contextual data, and numerous layers to keep users and their information locked for theft prevention.

Dominovas Energy, a leading power solutions provider to emerging markets around the world, issued a press release today announcing a landmark capital commitment for $1.2 billion US Dollars in project financing (the “Financing”) with Graecrest Energy Solutions. The funds will be used for the initial phase to manufacture, produce, and deploy Dominovas Energy’s proprietary RUBICON™ SOFC systems, pursuant to signed and executed guaranteed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

“This is an unprecedented and historic commitment not only for Dominovas Energy, but it is additionally significant for the fuel cell industry as a whole. This financing commitment is further validation of the Company’s business model and an undeniable endorsement of the technical prowess of the RUBICON™ and the ‘game plan’ we have set forth for the commercial deployment of our fuel cell system,” stated Neal Allen, Chairman and CEO. “With $1.2 billion secured for the phase 1 manufacturing and installation of the RUBICON™, we have put in place the building block that supports our innovation in engineering this next generation technology for the commercial production of clean and sustainable baseload power via the proprietary RUBICON™.”

“With this Financing secured, Dominovas Energy actively demonstrates that the funding of power infrastructure projects in global and emerging markets is not only possible, but feasible. One hundred percent of phase 1 project costs for deployment of RUBICON™ systems are covered in this first tranche of financing. Dominovas Energy remains on schedule and on budget for 2016,” Allen added.

Since announcing the first 3MW PPA for the City of David in the Democratic Republic of the Congo earlier this year, Dominovas Energy has been unwavering in its mission to secure project finance capital to support the deployment of over 200MWs of signed and guaranteed PPAs. Dominovas Energy believes that securing project financing marks the catalyst for the materialization of its value proposition in emerging energy markets.

Dominovas Energy Vice President of Investments and Finance Eric Fresh stated, “The Financing is a commitment from a ‘Sole Source Provider’ that is subject to the satisfactory completion of customary due diligence and underwriting/funding requirements, which will adequately facilitate Dominovas Energy’s complete project funding via this initial facility. Under the terms of the commitment, Dominovas Energy will have the ability to seamlessly reassess its needs in order to potentially expand capital commitments, a necessity in accommodating subsequent financing phases of RUBICON™ system deployments.”

The financing structure has extended tenors of 20 to 30 years, providing Dominovas Energy with a unique opportunity to implement long-term, cost-effective project finance capital. Because there is immediate availability of financing upon financial close for each project, Dominovas Energy will be able to effectively and efficiently deliver on schedule its mandate of creating commercially-viable, clean, and sustainable energy solutions to global emerging markets — all while creating value to its Off-takers.

Today, The Bowser Report issued a daily mover alert on two different stocks.

SPAR Group (SGRP)

Editor’s Opinion: Despite trading barely below average volume for the day, SGRP made a run at the end of the trading day on good volume to close up just shy of 20%.

The company’s next earnings release is estimated between November 12-16.

Innovative Food Holdings (IVFH)

Editor’s Opinion: Unlike IVFH’s last alert when it traded only 596 shares, the stock’s movement today is on more than triple the company’s average volume. Shareholders sold off quite a few shares with the stock tapering throughout the day. A number of large trades took place including a sale of 4,800 shares at 3:57 pm.
To reiterate our past analysis on the company: IVFH is not rated and has remained in Category 3 for some time. Despite growing sales, profitability has eluded IVFH. As a result, we remain speculative of this company.

We’ll know more once the company releases its most recent earnings between November 17-23.

QualityStocks today announces the availability of a new audio interview with Evan Clifford, CEO of Legacy Ventures International, Inc., an investment company highly focused on high-potential businesses with “big idea” and game-changing innovations. The interview can be heard at http://www.QualityStocks.net/interview-lgyv.php.

The interview kicks off as Clifford explains Legacy’s recent acquisition of Canada-based RM Fresh Brands, a food and beverage distribution company whose star product is the increasingly popular Boxed Water brand. Legacy currently has distribution rights of Boxed Water in Canada, and is pursuing additional markets.

“We’ve been ramping up and really going full force. So Boxed Water is a game-changer,” says Clifford, explaining how the product fits into Legacy’s overarching portfolio strategy. “A focus for Legacy is really on disruption and innovation, sustainability.”

Clifford next describes his professional background as a “serial entrepreneur” who started his first business selling T-shirts at age 17. Since then, he has started numerous companies, has worked in the music entertainment industry with top artists in Canada, and has invested in and was involved with the marketing and branding of an electric car company dubbed by CNN as one of the most disruptive companies in the world.

“My eyes have always been open to sort-of the next plotted brand innovation, working with entrepreneurs and just growing and watching the world evolve and society evolve and trying to play a part in it. That’s when I saw Boxed Water… it truly resonated with me as something that clicked both with my past and experience and where I believe everything is going,” Clifford says.

He further details his diverse expertise and highly relevant business history before applauding the experience and capabilities of the rest of Legacy’s management team.

“It’s a very exciting time. It’s a brand new venture, but with a lot of rounded experience behind it,” says Clifford.

Interview host Stuart Smith then briefly lists Legacy’s recent and robust history of corporate announcements, and asks Clifford what shareholders can expect out of the company in upcoming months.

“It’s going to be a lot of growth… and then operations and products and acquisitions. We’ve got our eyes on some really incredible things right now, just going through the due diligence process. But I’m very confident that within a short time we’re going to start seeing some very fascinating and, like I said, some disruptive — and I say that in the most positive way of course — products and brands, potential acquisitions… our focus is not just on one thing, but really on expanding our portfolio and our investment in… things that are going to make a difference in industry or to the world,” Clifford concludes.

Over 4,000 businesses within the hemp industry will come together at the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on November 11-13, 2015. Growers, dispensaries, and other markets will meet on the 30,000 square foot expo floor to network and learn from each other. Over 50 expert speakers will be giving presentations on the industry and how small firms can grow with it. Hemp Inc. is especially excited and the event is actually taking place where its corporate headquarters is located.

Hemp Inc., a publicly traded company, aims to be a leader in the legalized hemp industry while promoting eco-friendly and organic products that can replace petroleum products. Hemp can be used to make paper, cosmetics, fabric, health products, building materials, and more. The company has its own line of organic products that include lip balm, massage candles, hair products, skin cream, and healing oil.

Fortunately, the world of legalizing hemp is growing. For example, Canada’s recently elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intends to legalize and regulate marijuana which could prove beneficial in the medical marijuana industry. Then in Florida, two Democratic lawmakers are seeking to legalize hemp while two medical marijuana dispensaries have been approved for construction in Las Vegas.

The hemp industry is estimated to be worth an amazing $500 million and quickly rising. It should continue to grow as more legislation is passed and more industrial companies get involved. To spread awareness to potential investors, Hemp Inc. has created “Hemp Inc. Presents” a video channel that keeps its shareholders updated on the Company’s industrial processing plant while informing them of the latest news about the industry. Similarly, the company issues the Hemp Nation Magazine which also informs readers about everything hemp related including politics, legislation, medical, and growth.

The gathering of hemp business peers at the 4th Annual Marijuana Business Daily Conference showcases the great potential of the hemp market. While spreading ideas and innovations, these businesses hope to push the industry forward. Hemp Inc., and its values, aligns with the overall goals of the industry.

Today, The Bowser Report issued a daily mover alert on FitLife Brands (FTLF), which closed down 10% or more today.

Editor’s Opinion: Yesterday, FTLF rose 11.77% on very low volume. Today, after that volatile move, there was a slight sell off with fairly normal volume. Volatile moves like this are normal for FTLF recently.

Since becoming a leader of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) production, Stellar Biotechnologies Inc. (OTCQB: SBOTF) continues its objectives towards commercial expansion of its product with immunotherapy treatments. KLH is an immune stimulating protein that aids in fighting immune deficient illnesses like cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, and many inflammatory diseases. The company has successfully maintained its partnerships with various companies to meet its goals.

Since 2013, Stellar and Amaran Biotechnologies Inc. have collaborated on manufacturing the OBI-822 immunotherapy that uses KLH as an important immune stimulator. The companies have completed all of their initial objectives and will now focus on commercial manufacturing to the wider market. Similarly, in April 2015, Stellar expanded its agreement with Neovacs S.A. to continue supplying the company with Stellar KLH in their IFNα-Kinoid immunotherapy treatment of Lupus.

To keep up with emerging immunotherapy innovations, Stellar collaborated with Ostiones Guerrero SA de CV in July to obtain a site in Baja California, Mexico to develop another aquaculture production location. The company expects to use this location in hopes of accelerating KLH production to meet the needs of the growing market.

With the goal of expansion, Stellar recently consolidated the company’s common shares (outstanding and issued) on the grounds of one (1) post-consolidated share for every ten (10) pre-consolidated shares in a reverse stock split maneuver so that these shares can be traded on the NASDAQ market. With NASDAQ’s approval, this could help Stellar spread its brand to more investors while increasing assets to shareholders.

Stellar still commits to new technology related to KLH and how to use its different forms effectively in various treatments. To solidify its unswerving goals, the company presented a poster at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Immunologists called, “Measuring the Properties of Different Forms of Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) Reveals Important Differences.” This highlights the different ways KLH can prompt immune responses in various therapies.

The company also stands behind the United Nations’ September declaration of protecting and using oceans for sustainable development. This declaration aligns with Stellar’s mission of using aquaculture science to manufacture more KLH for therapies.

In May, the company expanded its online communication to Facebook, Twitter, and Google+/YouTube to convey educational content and updates. By spreading its brand, Stellar aims to collaborate with more immunotherapy manufacturers to bring successful treatments to patients while also creating valuable stock to investors.
