Company will be enhancing its product offerings by adding high-quality fresh and frozen products by various plant-based brands including Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, Miyokos, Follow Your Heart, Gardein, Tofurkey and Alpha Foods
This move will allow PlantX to significantly increase its product assortment at its one-stop-shop for everything plant-based e-commerce platform
VANCOUVER, BC , April 14, 2021 – PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA ) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) (” PlantX ” or the ” Company “) is pleased to announce the addition of perishable, refrigerated and frozen goods to its expanding repertoire of grocery items.
The Company will be enhancing its product offerings by adding high-quality fresh and frozen products by various plant-based brands including Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, Miyokos, Follow Your Heart, Gardein, Tofurkey and Alpha Foods. This move will allow PlantX to significantly increase its product assortment at its one-stop-shop for everything plant-based e-commerce platform. The new items are now available to order in the ‘ Frozen ‘ and ‘ Refrigerated’ sections of the Company’s United States’ e-commerce platform . Frozen and refrigerated products will be available for shipping to Canadian customers later this year.
Temperature monitoring is crucial in ensuring the freshness of refrigerated and frozen items. A high number of touch points in the supply chain can affect temperature management due to the repeated loading and unloading or prolonged transfer time, which can therefore compromise product quality. To assist in bypassing these challenges, PlantX has partnered with a logistics provider that will deliver the new products from manufacturers to consumers’ homes in an efficient manner.
“Launching the new refrigerated and frozen product line is a natural and thrilling next step for PlantX,” said Julia Frank , PlantX CEO. “By adding such items, we are building on our efforts to create an online presence where customers can access a versatile range of high-quality products that meet their everyday needs.”

In addition to offering meal and indoor plant deliveries, the Company currently has plans underway to expand its product lines to include cosmetics, clothing and its own water brand — but the business is not limited to an e-commerce platform. The Company uses its digital platform to build a community of like-minded consumers, and most importantly, provide education. Its successful enterprise is being built and fortified on partnerships with top nutritionists, chefs and brands. The Company eliminates the barriers to entry for anyone interested in living a plant-based lifestyle and thriving in a longer, healthier and happier life.

Forecourt operators to get access to real-time data from any point-of-sale through Loop’s IoT device
Announces a new Proof of Concept (PoC) with Suresite Group
The cooperation will see selected Suresite retail locations take advantage of Loop’s IoT Fobi device and Insights platform
LONDON and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 14, 2021 — Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV; RACMF:OTCQB), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence for the brick and mortar space, announces a new Proof of Concept (PoC) with Suresite Group. The cooperation will see selected Suresite retail locations take advantage of Loop’s IoT Fobi device and Insights platform.
Loop Insights is growing its UK retail presence
According to KPMG , the UK’s forecourt or gas station convenience store sector generates approximately £4.5 billion in annual revenue. Loop’s latest agreement with Suresite represents its entry into the UK’s retail energy sectors, as part of wider business development efforts in the UK.
The changing trends of forecourt retail
Suresite ’s UK data of card payment transactions and spend show that in the last 12 months, there has been less demand for fuel with people unable to travel due to local and national lockdowns. Yet these travel restrictions have also led to a growth in non-fuel retail with customers choosing to carry out their grocery shopping locally at nearby fuel stations, looking to fulfil multiple purposes in a single trip with an increased appetite for cashless transactions. With the constantly changing trends and challenges brought by the pandemic, data insights are now more important for forecourt retail than ever.
Loop’s Fobi is an IoT device working with an AI-powered retail analytics platform that allows retailers unprecedented access to real-time transaction data from any point-of-sale (POS) – online, in-store, and across multiple properties.
During the PoC, Loop Insights will implement its Fobi device and Insights AI-powered analytics platform across numerous Suresite client locations. This will provide Suresite, and more importantly, its clients who operate leading fuel and convenience brands, with powerful, actionable data capabilities needed to deliver informed loyalty experience and drive operational efficiencies. Suresite’s forecourt client market currently includes major brands such as Harvest Energy, Gulf, Jet, and others.
“ Through services such as our real-time, data-driven fuel monitoring solution, Suresite understands that retailers need data to be delivered in real-time to be able to maximise revenue and wallet-share. For the retailer, it’s about understanding the shopping basket breakdown item by item, who made the purchase, and how. Or having the ability to see how a special promotion is performing in real time so adjustments can be made if needed. This is why Suresite has partnered with Loop Insights, to help our clients improve their business decisions based on real-time, actionable insights,” explains Eva Jones, Head of Product Development and Innovation at Suresite.
Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated: “Our latest Proof of Concept agreement with Suresite is additional proof that our Fobi device combined with our AI-powered Insights platform serves an immediate, data driven need in the convenience and fuel sectors. Recent announcements with Sobeys in grocery, and now Suresite in convenience and fuel – two of the largest retail sectors in the world – serve notice that Loop and its solutions are fit-for-purpose in today’s data-first world. We anticipate this PoC will be another massive success for both Loop and Suresite as we continue to demonstrate the power of Loop’s Insights platform no matter the industry or country.”
Suresite CEO Steve Hoban added: “We understand the power of insight to help our clients improve their offer, sales and profit. We are excited to partner with Loop and are looking forward to the results of our trials. Our aim is to continue to add value to our clients and be able to enrich our data to provide them with insights that help them grow.”

Announced that Kai Medical Laboratory has received an order for COVID-19 RT-PCR tests that is anticipated to be in excess of $CAD 750,000 from two new film and television productions.
VANCOUVER, BC / April 14, 2021 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT) (Frankfurt:8EC) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) an integrated healthcare company – serving patients through medical centers, telemedicine platforms and a high complexity medical diagnostics laboratory processing thousands of COVID-19 specimens, is pleased to announce that Kai Medical Laboratory (“KAI”) has received an order for COVID-19 RT-PCR tests that is anticipated to be in excess of $CAD 750,000 from two new film and television productions.
5,000 TEST ORDER FOR FILM & TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS REPRESENTS REPEAT ORDER BASED ON CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE OF KAI MEDICAL LAB
In early October, shortly after the acquisition of KAI, Empower announced an agreement to process approximately 1,000 COVID-19 RT-PCR tests for a major film & TV production over a 30-day period, with the possibility of more business upon successful completion of the initial tests.
On November 16, 2020 KAI received a repeat and record COVID-19 testing order for approximately 9,000 units in excess of $CAD 1,000,000 over a four-month period.
Today’s announcement represents a repeat Purchase Order of approximately 5,000 units to be processed over just a two-month period. The total revenue from this order is anticipated to be in excess of $CAN 750,000.
“Our team at KAI continues to deliver the type of performance to Tier-1 clients that is worthy of significant repeat business that serves as unequivocal validation of our capabilities,” said Steven McAuley, Chairman & CEO of Empower. “To this end, the magnitude of KAI’s growth and success cannot be overstated as it continues to focus on very active business development and product development, setting a path toward significant North American growth in the midst of tripling its size. KAI is well on its way to becoming a national brand supported by our strong working capital position and a team dedicated to performance.”
As of September 1st, KAI has already processed tests for multiple different film and television productions in key US markets including Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Dallas, earning the highest confidence of the industry.
KAI MEDICAL LABORATORY NOW EXPANDING TO TRIPLE CURRENT SIZE IN ANTICIPATION OF ANTICIPATED RAPID TEST GROWTH
KAI continues to progress on the design and build out of the laboratory expansion to prepare to meet upcoming demand in a number of areas. First, the continued processing of RT-PCR tests for film & television productions, commercial accounts and enterprise level clients. Second, the full e-commerce impact of KaiTests.com and the national direct-to-consumer marketing programs for KAI Saliva, an FDA, EUA authorized and Health Canada approved at-home Saliva COVID-19 RT-PCR Test. KAI Saliva provides travellers, both foreign and domestic with a simple, fully compliant method to obtain an RT-PCR test and test result prior to arriving or coming back into Canada and USA, or arriving in other countries that have similar executive travel orders.
Finally, KAI Labs continues the development of new direct-to-consumer test protocols that will expand the product offers on Kaitests.com throughout 2021 and beyond.
McAuley added “With each passing month Empower gains more strength and velocity in every aspect of our business from KAI Lab in Dallas to our rapidly expanding clinic operations in Canada and our direct-to-consumer products such as KAI Saliva. All of which are amply funded well into the future with our strongest balance sheet ever thanks to the receipt of more than $12,000,000 in warrant conversions as of last month. We are on a path, a trajectory towards building a great health and wellness company across North America, and I look forward to providing our shareholders with further specifics.”

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade. The obvious reasons include the following:
Exponential growth in the number of people online. Yet only 59% of the world means more to come.
Fast growth in the number of countries and jurisdictions legalizing gambling to collect tax revenue.
Moreover, the global esports industry is already well into its 10-year parabolic growth cycle with massive investments, corporate sponsorships and the biggest tournament prizes of any sport in the world, including the majors.
But despite all this, esports is still dramatically under monetized relative to traditional sports.
Intema Solutions $ITM $ITMF is an emerging esports and iGaming company that believes their wagering + social interaction model will solve this problem by creating the world’s foremost esports and iGaming ecosystem.
More than just lip service, Intema has already announced the following in Q1 2021:
