VIDEO: Aurora Cannabis $ACB Founder, Terry Booth, Is Taking Eyecarrot Vision Therapy Global $EYC.ca / $EYCCF

Eyecarrot Innovations (EYC:TSXV) is a Vision Therapy and Training Company that goes well beyond fixing eyes that simply can’t read letters on an eye chart. That’s what your optometrist does when they prescribe glasses.

What Eyecarrot does is far more exciting and groundbreaking. Without getting scientific, Eyecarrot delivers higher performing brains by optimizing the performance of your eyes.  The result is a faster brain through stronger eyes, which creates quite the edge for the world’s best athletes and explains why their client list includes:

  • Dallas Stars (NHL)
  • Chicago Cubs (MLB)
  • Sporting KC (MLS)
  • Tennis Canada
  • Showcased During NFL Scouting Combine
  • Eli Wilson Goaltending – The World Leader In Hockey Goaltending Development

BUT NEW EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, TERRY BOOTH, HAS A DIFFERENT AND BIGGER VISION (PARDON THE PUN) FOR EYECARROT – GLOBAL CHILDREN  

When Terry’s daughter was 1 years old, she developed eye problems that could only be treated by patching -  something he says would be considered “barbaric” today.  Terry discovered that 1 in 4 kids (not a typo) have vision problems beyond those treatable by an optometrist.  This was a global, epidemic without a solution that often leads to kids losing critical learning time and self-confidence by Grade 3.    

Fast Forward 30 years to about 4 weeks ago and Terry finally found the solution – Eyecarrot – but not before he and his science team put CEO Adam Cegielski and the Company through the ringer.  When the due diligence was complete, Terry Booth was all in….  

… And he’s bringing his entire science, government and finance network to the table to bring Eyecarrot to children around the world.

Eyecarrot $EYC.ca Affirms Appointment of Dr. Leonard Press as Chief Scientific Officer $EYPT $KALA

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:16 AM on Thursday, May 28th, 2020
http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/eyc%20square.png
  • Announces the appointment of Dr. Leonard Press to Chief Scientific Officer
  • Dr. Press has contributed to the Company as its Director of Global Education supporting the development resources available to vision professionals through Binovi Academy and the Binovi Platform

TORONTO, ON and NEW YORK, NY / May 28, 2020 / Eyecarrot Innovations Corp (TSXV:EYC)(QTCQB:EYCCF)(FRA:2EYA:GR] announces the appointment of Dr. Leonard Press to Chief Scientific Officer. Dr. Press has contributed to the Company as its Director of Global Education supporting the development resources available to vision professionals through Binovi Academy and the Binovi Platform. Through his appointment, he will lead the Scientific Advisory Board and all scientific development efforts including the expansion of Speed of Stereopsis, established by his predecessor Dr. Selwyn Super, who passed away earlier this year.

Dr. Leonard Press is a graduate of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, where he was a member of the Gold Key International Optometric Honor Society. He completed his Residency program in Pediatric Optometry at The Eye Institute of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in Philadelphia, and formerly served as Chief of the Pediatric Unit of The Eye Institute. Dr. Press was recruited to the State University of New York, State College of Optometry, to serve as Chief of the Vision Therapy Service, where he was Associate Professor of Clinical Optometry for 15 years. Patients of all ages with problems related to vision development, visual processing, learning disabilities, and dyslexia are referred to Dr. Press by a wide variety of professionals through his consulting practice in Lakewood, New Jersey. He works extensively with occupational therapists, educators, and parent groups in helping parents understand the relationship between vision and learning, and opportunities for therapy to help children succeed.

“Dr. Selwyn Super was a gentleman and scholar whose foresight helped set the scientific tone for Eyecarrot and Binovi. His vision and thought processes had a significant influence on my thinking and career, as well as on the careers of many contributors to our field. I look forward to carrying on and expanding his scientific legacy as we continue to develop the Binovi suite of concepts and products.” stated Dr. Leonard Press, OD, FAAO, FCOVD

Additionally, Dr. Press has been recognized internationally for his work in the field of learning-related vision problems. He was a co-author of the Clinical Practice Guidelines in this area for the American Optometric Association and is the author of a monograph from the Optometric Extension Program on Computers and Vision Therapy Programs. He is the author of three major textbooks on vision which act as the primary reference used by therapists and doctors from around the world who are preparing for board certification in vision therapy through the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD). Dr. Press served as President of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, and formerly served on the examining board which conducts board certification. He is also a Diplomate in the Pediatric Optometry/Binocular Vision and Perception Section of the American Academy of Optometry, and the only doctor in New Jersey with specialty certification through both of these prestigious organizations.

Dr. Press served as a consultant on visual disabilities for the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME), where he reviewed requests for test accommodations on the examinations that certifies MDs to practice Medicine in the United States. Candidates submit a request for modification of their computer monitor, extra time, or test breaks, based on supporting documentation of any visual disabilities not fully corrected by glasses or contact lenses. Many children in special education environments face similar issues in terms of Section 504 accommodations for schoolwork or standardized testing. He has lectured extensively on these subjects in the United States and abroad.

The recipient of numerous awards for his research, writing, and clinical work, Dr. Press has received the Scientific Achievement Award from the New Jersey Society in both 1995 and in 2002. He received the Skeffington Award for Excellence in Optometric Writing from the College of Optometrists in Vision Development in 1992 and was honored by his peers as Optometrist of the Year by the New Jersey Society of Optometric Physicians, previously serving as President of the organization. He was honored as the Alumnus of the Year of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 2003, which cited him for his outstanding contributions in the field of children’s vision and vision-related learning problems.

“Our partnership with Dr. Press has already proven to be a fruitful one for both parties, and with the unfortunate passing of Dr. Selwyn Super earlier this year, we saw it fit to invite him to take his place as a key part of the continued development of the Binovi Platform. Dr. Press’ credentials, accomplishments, and experience speak for themselves and will be a great asset to the Company moving forward. We look forward to continue working with Dr. Press as Binovi grows,” commented Adam Cegielski, President and CEO.

The Company also announces it has retained Generation IACP Inc. (“Generation“) to provide market making services with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving the liquidity of its Common Shares. Under the agreement between Generation and the Company (the “Generation Agreement“), the Company has agreed to initially pay Generation a fee of C$7,500 plus applicable taxes, per month. Generation will not receive any Common Shares or options as compensation.

#Esports has seen “two years of growth in two months” – SPONSOR: Esports Entertainment Group $GMBL $TECHF $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $FDM.ca $TNA.ca

Esports has seen “two years of growth in two months”

  • “The biggest thing we are all experiencing is Esports being in the public consciousness in a way that it wasn’t,” Bryant said. “My mum asked me if I had anything to do with footballers playing Formula 1, while my next door neighbour is also asking about McLaren in Esports.

By: motorsport.com

Motorsport Network has hosted Esports discussions alongside the #ThinkingForward series, with focus turning to sim racing during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdown which has seen Esports take centre stage.

While talking points have proven to be both positive and negative, from a range of Esports charity fundraising events including the BRDC Esports series to raise money for the NHS to Daniel Abt being dropped by Audi for pulling off a Formula E Esports stunt, a panel of Esports experts hosted by James Allen analysed the Esports developments within the motorsport environment and what the future holds.

Leeston Bryant, McLaren senior marketing manager covering Esports, estimates the industry itself has experienced dramatic market growth by taking the opportunity to fill the void of motorsport action during the COVID-19 postponements.

“The biggest thing we are all experiencing is Esports being in the public consciousness in a way that it wasn’t,” Bryant said. “My mum asked me if I had anything to do with footballers playing Formula 1, while my next door neighbour is also asking about McLaren in Esports.

“I have been working in Esports for two years and while it has been growing that whole time, we have seen two years’ worth of growth in two months. I think that is incredibly exciting and I think what we are trying to do is make sure we take that forward into the future.”

F1 has duly ramped up its own Esports efforts, launching the Virtual Grand Prix series which sees current F1 drivers compete against former drivers, celebrities and sports stars from other disciplines, and has enjoyed similar expansion and fan engagement.

Julian Tan, who heads F1’s Esports initiatives, has echoed the sentiments but remains curious to understand how the recent rise of sim racing will integrate into the wider motorsport market once real racing can resume.

“We are seeing a much higher growth rate in sim racing against the rest of the industry so I think the potential is there,” Tan said during the Esports webinar. “I think the impact the coronavirus has had on the world and when we pass this, and we will pass this, the world that we will enter will look very different.

“I do think that the growth and attention that gaming and Esports is experiencing now will have an impact post-COVID-19. I think it is difficult to say or see what that impact is, but what I do know is that the fact that all of us here are navigating the space right now and we are learning a tremendous amount, doing things, trying things differently and we will emerge from this better prepared to tackle the new challenges that we will have.

“Whether we will see the Virtual GPs as we are seeing them now once we go back racing, I think it is too early to say, but I do think there will be elements of the Virtual GPs that we could potentially start to implement more widely on our Esports programme and the wider sport too.”

With sponsors eager to maintain a greater presence in the motorsport market through the new and emerging channels, Bryant believes McLaren’s partners have also seen opportunities that can be grabbed through Esports activities when the normal racing season returns.

“Speaking to McLaren F1’s sponsors about Esports, there are a few conversations about when motorsport starts up again maybe when there are breaks and in the off-season we can start to bring these activities back, so we can keep racing fans entertained 24-7,” he said.

“I think we live in a world now when people are almost expected to be always on. So, we want to see how we can give fans an additive experience. I think Esports and sim racing might be able to do that.

“It won’t quite be potentially at the same level it is now but I think it will have a profound effect for years to come.”

About Tommy Chong’s Cannabis: 

As one-half of the legendary comedy duo Cheech & Chong, Tommy Chong helped pioneer a completely unique brand of comedy directed at the counterculture movement of the early ’70s. At the heart of this brand of entertainment was cannabis. On-screen and off Tommy became a vocal advocate for his favorite herb. In a time where cannabis had to be talked about in whispers, Tommy was a loud voice for the advocacy movement, working tirelessly to destigmatize the use of this healing plant. With the legalization of recreational cannabis, Tommy’s voice continues to ring out loudly, touting its benefits and place in society. Now, Tommy is thrilled to share that passion and knowledge of cannabis with the rest of the world. Using his lifelong connections in the industry, he has made it his personal mission to share the very best product available with his fans and fellow herb connoisseurs. If anyone knows weed, it’s Tommy. And now fans of comedy and cannabis alike can experience the strains and products that Tommy himself has hand-selected.

Empower $CBDT.ca Expands Its Online Education with the Support of EuroLife $EURO.ca to Promote the Benefits of Functional Mushrooms and Psilocybin to Positively Impact Health and Wellness $WEED.ca $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, May 27th, 2020

– Company is forming a global mushroom education initiative with EuroLife Brands that will leverage the cannvas.me platform

– new initiative expands the original agreement by formalizing a cloud-based, globally accessible, leading educational experience for patients, clinics, and academic circles to participate, learn, interact, and create information on the uses, treatments, and applications of mushrooms for health and wellness.

VANCOUVER, BC / May 27th, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (Frankfurt 8EC) (“Empower” or the “Company“), a vertically integrated life sciences company, is pleased to announce that further to the definitive agreement announced on May 15th, 2020 the Company is forming a global mushroom education initiative with EuroLife Brands (“EuroLife”) that will leverage the cannvas.me platform.

The new initiative expands the original agreement by formalizing a cloud-based, globally accessible, leading educational experience for patients, clinics, and academic circles to participate, learn, interact, and create information on the uses, treatments, and applications of mushrooms for health and wellness. The global initiative will be positioned as an educational platform but will also accept clinical trial results, integrate with universities and academic circles, provide knowledge and a safe learning experience free from the outside influence of misinformation.

“Our global mushroom education initiative will provide significantly more information pertaining to the treatment of a number of ailments using plant-based treatment options,” said Steven McAuley, chairman and chief executive officer of Empower. “We are proud to bring premium health and wellness products to our patients online and in our clinics and mushrooms are already a part of our expanding product line in this category. We look forward to working with the team at EuroLife to launch this initiative in the very near future.”

“We have an opportunity to be one of the first online education platforms to deliver information on the benefits of using mushrooms for nutrition and health and wellness,” said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, EuroLife Brands Inc. “Our Cannvas.me education portal is scalable and provides quick and easy access to Empower employees, medical professionals and retail consumers who are in need of this important information. We will continue to leverage our technology to move EuroLife forward.”

A report produced by Research and Markets estimates the global mushroom market was over US$38 billion in 2017 and forecasted to expand at a CAGR of 7.9 per cent from 2018 to 2026. Increasing consumer awareness regarding the health benefits offered by mushrooms is a key factor influencing the growth of the mushroom market at present. Consumer mushroom consumption in supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and cafeterias are also expected to add to the market demand. Mushrooms are considered a super food as they contain protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, with a great deal of nutritional value and micronutrients. They are low in carbohydrates, high in fiber, and a good source of B-vitamins (riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and niacin), iron, and selenium.

EuroLife and Empower will create a mushroom portal which will leverage the same technology platform used for EuroLife’s cannabis portal and will include educational modules on a wide range of topics. The platform will also incorporate dynamic and interactive elements to facilitate learning.
