Could #Cannabis Eliminate The High-Cost And High-Stakes Of Current #Psoriasis Medicines? SPONSOR: Innocan Pharma $INNO.ca $IN.ca $AXIM $LABS $CRDL.ca $TBP.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:04 PM on Thursday, October 29th, 2020

SPONSOR: Innocan Pharma Corporation (INNO:CSE) (IP4:FSE) Innocan has 3 fully operating divisions to address the market for Cannabis products.  As a Cannabis investor, why limit yourself to a Company with just one specialty, when Innocan offers you exposure to both the exploding world of cannabis pharma, as well as, a portfolio of patent-pending and launch ready consumer health products. In addition, the company filed an international patent application for a novel cannabis-based psoriasis treatment. This patent application makes claim of a topical pharmaceutical composition used to treat the symptoms of itching and inflammation associated with psoriasis.

  • “The global psoriasis drugs market is forecast to reach USD 39.00 Billion by 2027.

Could Cannabis Eliminate The High-Cost And High-Stakes Of Current Psoriasis Medicines?

  • Often triggered by stress, new studies are showing that psoriasis can be better managed by diet, oral health, and even cannabidiol.
  • The National Psoriasis Foundation shared information on a study from the Journal of Dermatological Science showcasing that, “CBD may offer therapeutic value for psoriasis by slowing the overgrowth of certain skin cells.” 
  • A 2016 study published in the journal Current Clinical Pharmacology found similar results, citing that cannabinoids may be a positive addition to treatment for psoriasis.
  • Even better, a 2018 study did a sweeping review of prior research on cannabis’ role within dermatology and found, “cannabinoids have shown some initial promise as a therapy for a variety of skin diseases.” Their only concern was a lack of research in clinical trials, due to the Schedule 1 classification of the drug.  

By: Kate-Madonna Hindes

The National Psoriasis Foundation states that upwards of 8 million people have the auto-immune skin disorder. Often accompanied by arthritis, psoriasis not only causes scaling of the skin, but complications to fingernails as well. 

Affecting everyone from children to adults, psoriasis can lead to anxiety and depression, as individuals with the skin disorder are often afraid of being ridiculed. Usually treated with Humira and Enbrel, psoriasis comes with a shocking price tag and complications that are often difficult to ignore. 

A 2014 study published in the journal Drugs in Context found that Humira had a price tag upwards of $39,000, while Enbrel’s annual cost was around $46,000. Stelara, the most expensive drug, was found to cost over $53,000. As TNF blockers, while medications like Humira help against psoriasis, they can lower the body’s ability to fight infections and cause serious side effects.

Even more interesting, a September 2019 study in London found that, “A number of medications commonly prescribed by rheumatologists may interact with cannabidiol oil” (CBD oil). The most affected medicines appear to be corticosteroids (including hydrocortisone and prednisolone) since CBD, “is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A.” Put plainly, CBD may block the effects of the other medicine.

Can CBD alone help psoriasis? 

Often triggered by stress, new studies are showing that psoriasis can be better managed by diet, oral health, and even cannabidiol. The National Psoriasis Foundation shared information on a study from the Journal of Dermatological Science showcasing that, “CBD may offer therapeutic value for psoriasis by slowing the overgrowth of certain skin cells.” 

A 2016 study published in the journal Current Clinical Pharmacology found similar results, citing that cannabinoids may be a positive addition to treatment for psoriasis. Even better, a 2018 study did a sweeping review of prior research on cannabis’ role within dermatology and found, “cannabinoids have shown some initial promise as a therapy for a variety of skin diseases.” Their only concern was a lack of research in clinical trials, due to the Schedule 1 classification of the drug.  

While CBD and cannabis offer pain relief and psoriasis is often accompanied by rheumatoid arthritis, each individual must discuss the addition of any new medicine (including CBD and cannabis) with their care team. With new clinical trials for cannabinoids and psoriasis recruiting even now, promising cures may be on the horizon.

Defense Market Size Anticipated To Exceed USD 10.5 Billion By 2023

Defense market size was valued around USD 6 billion in 2014 and is anticipated to exceed USD 10.5 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of over 6.1% from 2016 to 2023. The growth can be mainly attributed to increasing technological innovation and advancement. The technological improvements are expected to improvise the military power and thus resulting in making it stronger. Various nations are now concentrating on developing the protection systems for themselves as well as to trade with other militaries.

Proliferating security concerns among various nations and rising government spending in research and development activities is likely to propel the industry growth. Nations assessment of its security is mainly responsible for shaping its security system. As the country’s economy grows its security spending also increases. Nations are now retooling their fighting abilities towards more affordable and updated technology.

Countries such as China, Israel and Russia defense market see significant spending in improvising their resistance systems. As of 2015, U.S spends around 54% of its fiscal budget for military utilities and accounted for 37% of the overall industry share. It spends as much as USD 610 billion and ranks first in case of defense expenditure across the globe. Japan, China, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, South Korea, France, Saudi Arabia and India collectively valued for USD 601 billion in 2015.

The global defense market is estimated to face two major challenges over the forecast period namely, profitability growth and cost cutting to maintain financial performance. In order to tackle these conditions several counties namely India is now focusing on defense foreign investments and technology platforms for increasing production operations in the country. As of 2015, The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MC&I) has modified its FDI limit from 26% to 49% in order to improve country’s own security system. Moreover, declining resistance budgets accompanied by rising development costs is expected to hamper defense market growth from 2016 to 2023.

In addition, countries namely UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia exhibit potential growth prospects owing to threat from other countries. Defense companies are expected to witness huge growth opportunities owing to increasing investment in next generation ISR, unmanned combat land and sea vehicles, cognition & data analytics as well as improved precision strike with the assistance of non kinetic weapons. The defense market can be segmented on the basis of platform which includes airborne, naval and land based.

U.S. MDA (Missile Defense Agency) and Raytheon are jointly working on development of MOKV (Multi-Object Kill Vehicle) concept. These are specialized equipments that are likely to steer itself to the target and destroy the objects in space. In addition, India has test fired its AAD (advanced air defense) interceptor missile developed by DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organisation). It is a single-stage, anti-ballistic missile designed to suspend incoming missiles from an altitude of 30 kms. When integrated with Prithvi air defense missile, the experiment might result in two-tier ballistic missile defense system which is developed to intercept any threat from an altitude of 5000 kms.

Key industry participants in defense market share include Boeing, EADS/Airbus, United Technologies, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, ABG Shipyard Limited (ABG), Adcom Military Industries, Bharat Dynamics Limited, Brazilian Company Avionics Services, CADES Engineering Technologies Ltd, Cassidian Cyber Security, EBV Explosives Environmental Company, Direction des Constructions Navales Services (DCNS), BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. (US), EUREST Raytheon Support Services , European Advanced Technology S.A., Hispano-Suiza, HCL Aerospace & Defense and Advance Tech Control Pvt Ltd among others.

Veganuary Celebrates 1 Million Participant As Plant-Based Diet Goes Mainstream

  • Veganuary, the U.K.-based campaign encouraging people to eat vegan for the month of January, has just hit the 1 million supporter mark since its inception in 2014
  • The achievement is testament to the growing plant-based trend, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has sent consumers all over the world looking for healthier, more sustainable and safer alternatives to animal foods.

By Sally Ho

Veganuary, the U.K.-based campaign encouraging people to eat vegan for the month of January, has just hit the 1 million supporter mark since its inception in 2014. The achievement is testament to the growing plant-based trend, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, which has sent consumers all over the world looking for healthier, more sustainable and safer alternatives to animal foods. 

Announced on Monday (October 26), Veganuary has welcomed its one millionth participant joining the movement to try veganism for 31 days. Since the campaign first began in 2014, it has attracted the support of big names, including television presenter Jasmine Harman, actor Peter Egan and renowned wildlife presenter Chris Packham

Harman, who took part in the first-ever Veganuary six years ago, broadcasted a video message congratulating the charity on the milestone. “I feel very proud and very privileged to have been with Veganuary from the start and to be one of their ambassadors,” she said. 

In its first year, Veganuary attracted just 3,300 supporters, but it quickly rose to fame as plant-based foods have come to garner greater spotlight in recent years as consumers begin to couple the environmental footprint and health impact of their food choices. The one million total includes the record-breaking 400,000 participants that joined the movement this year, a jump from the 250,000 figure in 2019, and 170,000 in 2018.

One million official Veganuary participants in just seven years is a huge achievement, but the momentum behind the plant-based revolution will see us hit two million in no time. Matthew Glover, Co-Founder & Chair of Veganuary

The real figure is likely to be much higher than one million, given that people around the world are believed to have taken part in the event without signing the official pledge online. A significant number have also continued their plant-based diet after the month of January. According to research conducted by data insights firm Kantar, the actual number of people who have participated without officially signing up is around ten times higher. 

Commenting on the milestone, Matthew Glover, the co-founder and chair of the charity, said: “Now Veganuary is a bigger feature in the retail calendar than Christmas, reflecting the ever-increasing number of people choosing plant-based food.” 

“One million official Veganuary participants in just seven years is a huge achievement, but the momentum behind the plant-based revolution will see us hit two million in no time.”

Signatories to the pledge have come from every single country in the world apart from North Korea, Vatican City and Eswatini. In 2020, the most growth in supporters was recorded in Latin America, followed by India – two major markets where plant-based foods have experienced a surge in demand.

All over the world, consumers have been shifting towards plant-based foods more than ever before, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, which has exposed the vulnerabilities and dangers of the animal meat supply chain. With the trend firmly in the mainstream, food giants have been scrambling to tap into the market – the latest research shows that almost 40% of the biggest food manufacturers and retailers in the world now have dedicated plant-based teams

Plant-based meat makers have also celebrated a big win in Europe just last week, when EU leaders prevented a proposal that would ban plant-based alternatives from using “meaty” terms like sausages or burgers on their labels.

Candente Golds $CDG.ca Samples High Grade Gold and Silver on the Cocula Gold Project, Mexico $FMG.ca $MEX.ca $AGI.ca $DSV.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:54 AM on Thursday, October 29th, 2020
https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/563973/hub/Candente_Gold_Hub_Logo.gif

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Candente Gold Corp. (TSXV:CDG) (“Candente Gold” and/or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that high grade gold and silver has been sampled on the Cocula project.

As reported in News Release dated, October 22nd, 2020, samples collected to check historical reporting confirmed grades of 5.663 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 6 metres and 4.322 g/t gold over 8 metres in quartz breccia bodies which we understand are typical throughout the deposit.

In addition, higher grades of 59.0 g/t gold and 729 g/t silver have been found in a selected sample over 10 centimetres (“cm”) in the hanging wall of a quartz vein-breccia structure near the portal of a collapsed adit. We understand mineralization was previously exploited from this adit on a small scale using a flotation recovery process but the Company has not found any formal production records. The mineralization in the high grade sample is described as dark grey to milky white banded quartz in vein and breccia with galena, pyrite and quartz crystals filling open spaces. A channel sample collected over 0.75 m adjacent to the selected sample and including part of the hanging wall, only returned 0.182 g/t gold and 18.9 g/t silver.   The channel sample comprised milky white and gray to dark gray quartz breccia vein with fine grained pyrite, +1% galena and trace malachite.   The Company understands that the high grades are coming from a bonanza zone for which we have no idea of the size or extent yet. Due to the nature of the high grades, the bonanza zone samples were check assayed in a second laboratory. The two laboratories used are the Alti Plano Gold Silver laboratory in Matehualas, San Luis Potosi, Mexico owned by Reyna Mining and Inspectorate Laboratory owned by Bureau Veritas who prepare their samples in Durango, Mexico and conduct sample analyses in Vancouver, Canada.

Base metal assays and multi-element ICP analyses are still pending for the rock check samples as are results from preliminary metallurgical testing.

The due diligence work is being conducted by Ing. Humberto Hernandez, Geological Engineer, member of Asociación de Ingenieros Mineros, Metalúrgistas y Geólogos de México and Ing. Gerardo Moreno, Geological Engineer and Miner, of Grupo Constructor Germo based in Durango, Mexico.

The Cocula Project area is located within the Ameca Mining District of Jalisco State which is home to Agnico Eagle’s El Barqueño Project and Endeavor Silver’s Terronera Project.

Please see News Releases No. 084 and 086 dated September 10th, and October 22nd, 2020 and http://www.candentegold.com/s/cocula.asp for further details on the Cocula Project.

About Candente Gold

Candente Gold has launched a comprehensive growth strategy to build a cash flowing business platform and gain access to properties with near surface exploration potential while maintaining El Oro as its flagship asset and an integral part of the overall growth strategy. The acquisition of the SDA Plant, the El Dorado historic mines and the Cocula Project signifies an important first step.

The financial benefits from Western Mexico operations and the addition of specialized personnel will translate across platforms to strengthen our efforts to explore and potentially mine. The Company is currently evaluating other properties that are complimentary to the SDA plant, El Dorado and the Cocula Project.

El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade gold dominant gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico.   The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin No. 37, Mining of the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores*)

Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems indicates that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold excellent discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to the historic workings of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an average depth of only 200 metres.

Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., President, CEO and Director and Matthew Melnyk, CPG., Director Operations and Director are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the projects discussed above, however they have not been able to visit the Cocula Project recently due to COVID virus travel restrictions. The work discussed in the News Release is either historical and documented by public records or conducted by Mexican professionals with qualifications similar to those of QP’s registered in Canada. Ms. Freeze and Mr. Melnyk have reviewed and approved the contents of this release.

How Has #COVID-19 Impacted #Esports and Its Technology Needs? SPONSOR: FansUnite Entertainment $FANS.ca $FUNFF $SCR.ca $BRAG.ca $TNA.ca $FDM.ca $JJ.ca

How Has COVID-19 Impacted Esports and Its Technology Needs?

  • When COVID-19 halted traditional sports events in March, the esports industry quickly pivoted and offered virtual entertainment with professional traditional sports players in various events, from the Madden NFL Invitational to NASCAR’s virtual racing, which became the highest-rated televised esports event ever.
  • Esports is a rapidly growing industry, with $4.5 billion of investments in 2018, up from the $490 million in 2017, according to Deloitte. Industry revenue is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2023, per a Newzoo figure on Statista (see below).

While traditional sports are now beginning to return, esports is not going anywhere. Unsurprisingly, it maintained its momentum and even increased its audience through online streaming options during quarantine. In March alone, Twitch’s viewership increased 10% and YouTube Gaming by 15%, according to a VentureBeat graphic on Statista. Furthermore, Twitch’s number of active users jumped from 4 million earlier this year to 7.5 million by September (see below figure). TwitchTracker © Statista 2020

With such a leap in engagement, gamers, professional teams, and collegiate programs are evaluating their AV technology and remote production investments or risk getting left behind.

“COVID-19 has changed the game. Instead of these massive venues, the games are now happening completely remote. The demand for LED displays has been replaced with the need for better broadcast technology with remote capabilities,” states Jared Darensbourg, senior sales manager at Panasonic. “Instead of airing the broadcast on ABC or NBC, the production now streams live to Twitch, YouTube, or other social media platforms that encourage engagement.”

Gamers can use remote production technology to livestream every minute of gameplay while traditional sports announcers share live commentary. Studio-oriented cameras allow the audience to view both the gamer and announcer’s reactions in real-time, making it as dramatic as it would in-person.

“The ability to have high-quality, high-resolution cameras with zero latency is a big component when it comes to gaming or producing games,” notes Darensbourg. “The time between when an action happens on your screen to when you see it on your active display is critical. That fast network as well as 4K content improves the audience experience.”

Socially distanced events could utilize projectors and displays to showcase stats and highlights to recreate the energy of live competitions with in-person audiences. Cameras to pan the arena and feature individual players can also enhance visuals for at-home viewers.

Thus, the demand for broadcast cameras with remote capabilities has increased. “Panasonic PTZ cameras have been successful in this online streaming transition because of its functionality, features, and control system,” says Hamid James, product manager at Panasonic. “The ability to output various resolutions is critical to its success. With PTZ cameras, esports venues and esports directors can pick and choose what format and quality they want to output to the end user, as well as have the flexibility to be able to output to those different social media and streaming platforms without needing any additional hardware.”

Remote esports tournaments could also further venture into virtual reality, which Riot Games has utilized in past opening ceremonies for the League of Legends World Championship, from an augmented reality dragon landing on the stadium to a holographic hip hop performance. “A 3D protocol outputs positioning data and allows you to use the PTZ camera in an AR/VR environment,” concludes James. “Much of gaming uses Unreal Engine, and the PTZ camera integrates directly with that platform via plugin. This is a crucial feature if you want to create a virtual environment because people can’t actually get there, or even just create an engaging experience moving forward.”
