Facebook and other tech giants showed the world that sharing our private data and profiting from it is a major issue. It became such a major issue that sweeping laws have been enacted in Europe (GDPR) and the United States (CCPA) that not only puts a stop to these practices but also demand that individuals are given the opportunity to take control of their digital identities – and even profit from them.
The term is often referred to as “Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)” and though it sounds kind of complicated, it actually sounds like music to the ears of investors that want to learn more about this massive global trend.
KABN is the small cap company that is leaps and bounds ahead of any other small cap company in this space. Their technology is damn cool (check out www.LiquidAvatar.com) and their global recognition is even better given their recent addition to the Trust Over IP Foundation as a Steering Member, joining the likes of IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and other global giants that are forming an ecosystem around SSI
This is a global paradigm shift that you DO NOT want to miss because it is happening right now and KABN is the leading small cap company for investors to gain exposure.

CBD Oil and Skin Care: What You Need To Know
Research shows that CBD oil has anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to skin health.
As such, CBD can be an active ingredient in skincare products that help treat or manage acne and other related breakouts. It is an ideal option for people with reactive skin.
Since CBD oil is plant-derived produce, thus, it having antioxidative abilities should not be surprising.
The antioxidants can help reduce the signs and impacts associated with aging.
The properties counteract free-radicals therein, reducing any inflammation while diminishing noticeable signs like reddish skin tone, wrinkles, and dullness.
CBD oil is one of the active ingredients in skincare products that help to manage everything from wrinkles to acne. But is this hemp or marijuana extract as effective as touted? Does it offer any benefits, or is it marketing hype? Below are the facts about CBD gummies and CBD skincare that you need to know.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound found in hemp and marijuana plants, extracted in powder form. It is then processed with oil like coconut or olive to enhance its effectiveness as a skincare oil product.
CBD oil made for skincare will not evoke the “high” associate with its counterpart compound THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While both CBD and THC can be found in hemp and marijuana plants, the hemp plant has a higher CBD and lower THC content than marijuana. At times the THC is so low that it not detectable during testing.
You should not mistake hemp-based CBD oil for hemp seed oil, another effective ingredient found in skincare products. At times, the two are marketed interchangeably, but the CBD oil has a high cannabidiol concentration while hemp seed oil has trace amounts or none.
The FDA regulated the name “CBD” used on products that claim to contain cannabidiol to state the same on the label. The regulated labeling is known as INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients). Therefore, products with names, such as CBD-enriched hemp seed oil, might not contain cannabidiol. You can be confident of what you buy is as specified on its label.
CBD For Acne-Prone Skin
According to research, acne is an inflammatory skin condition that could be triggered by various factors. Hence, some people can develop this inflammatory condition because of something they apply or even consume. Studies show that anything that can reduce the swelling and soothe the skin can help manage or treat acne. That is where CBD becomes an alternative solution that can fight the breakouts.
Research shows that CBD oil has anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to skin health. As such, CBD can be an active ingredient in skincare products that help treat or manage acne and other related breakouts. It is an ideal option for people with reactive skin.
CBD has been found to potentially lower sebum production, which is a unique quality that can help balance the sebum flow in the skin. But with this encouraging news, scientists still say that more studies are needs for conclusive findings that confirm the full extent of CBD’s benefits in skincare and overall health and wellness.
CBD Oil For Wrinkles And Anti-Aging
Since CBD oil is plant-derived produce, thus, it having antioxidative abilities should not be surprising. The antioxidants can help reduce the signs and impacts associated with aging. The properties counteract free-radicals therein, reducing any inflammation while diminishing noticeable signs like reddish skin tone, wrinkles, and dullness.
With other antioxidant-rich products in the market, it is unwise to claim that CBD is the best option out there. It is one of the many options worth considering if you are keen on finding a safe and better solution to caring for your skin.
CBD Oil For Sensitive Skin
CBD oil is claimed to have soothing compounds since it has been found to have skin-normalizing and skin-calming effects. Such properties are essential in treating and managing skin sensitivity and other related issues like inflammation, reactivity, and redness. With the skin exposed to the elements, different skin types are affected differently by environmental stressors. By applying CBD oil, its soothing mechanism will help keep the skin in check.

Hello Current and Potential Investors,
The new restrictions in BC came fast and we had to act quickly in regards to our AGM in order to comply with these mandates. For all companies, this year has been challenging to accommodate in person events like conferences and investor meetings. Though we normally see very few investors (if any) attend these meetings, these in person meetings can provide opportunities to allow investors to ask important questions and have management provide answers. Open communication with our shareholders is important to us. Since our question and answer portion of the AGM has been cancelled due to these circumstances we want to make sure we remind all current and potential investors of our contact information so we can answer any questions you may have.
If you have any questions you would like to speak with us on, please Email any questions to [email protected] and we will answer these directly or you can call our office at 604-227-3554.
In addition, we will be compiling the questions asked and the answers into a Q&A that will be distributed to our mailing list.
We are very excited for the coming months. We are awaiting assays from the Regal Drill Program. Unfortunately the labs have a considerably longer turnaround time than normal, but our Regal results should come back to us in late December. Our Drill is currently turning on the Carscallen Extension Property and we are very optimistic for results in 2021!
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you,

Gratomic Inc. (“GRAT” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GRAT)(FRANKFURT:CB81)(WKN:A143MR) is pleased to have recently met with local leaders of the !Aman Clan. The Company has also donated $70,000 to drought relief in Namibia, hosted a site visit from the President’s office, and has organized a community cleanup program in the neighboring town of Aus.
The !Aman clan resides in the Karas region of Namibia and were interested in learning about progress at the mine. The clan leaders were also interested in discussing harmonized working relationships between Gratomic and the !Aman Trust Fund for local businesses and individuals. A tour of the Aukam mine site was conducted for the head of the !Aman Clan by the Company’s Site Medic and Safety Manager, Oswald Mughongora. The local Clan leaders were presented with a full, guided tour of the property, were provided with explanations regarding the preservation and safeguarding of ancestral lands and resources as well as operational plans and future expectations of the mine. Gratomic has mobilized its workforce to homestead in the town of Aus.
Discussions regarding visible and transparent job tendering opportunities were had regarding participation of local businesses in various areas such as loading and unloading of equipment, drilling and blasting, plant operations, maintenance, inventory delivery to port, and water supply chain. Plans were also made regarding visible and transparent job postings for individuals.
Gratomic is pleased to provide opportunities for the improvement of surrounding communities. The Company has invested in the betterment of society by way of educational programs, opportunities for local businesses and the hiring of local workers whenever possible. We look forward to continued growth in these areas.
$70,000 Namibian dollars has been donated recently to the Farmers Drought Relief Fund to support these initiatives in the area. Gratomic feels that this is an important objective because water is a scarce natural resource in a desert environment under normal conditions and drought in Namibia has been exacerbated by 5 years of below average rainfall, which has led to wildfires in the region. As discussed in a previous press release dated November 9, 2020, the Company is very cognisant about water conservation and recycling.
“We intend to ensure that clean water remains available to local communities,” commented Namibian born President & CEO, Arno Brand, “Our overarching goal at Gratomic is to make the world a better place than it was before we began this adventure at Aukam.”
Gratomic also provides opportunities in skill development through-on-the-job training programs. This directly affects many people in the area by providing them with improved lifestyles and skill sets that they would have otherwise not have received. The Leadership team at Gratomic views this project as an opportunity to create prosperity in the Karas region by providing jobs, community programs, and assisting with the protection and preservation of natural resources.
The Company is currently organizing a clean-up initiative in Aukam’s neighboring Town of Aus. Gratomic plans to close the mine down for the day and transport its workers to the Aus town-site, where the group of paid volunteers will begin the beautification process by removing litter and debris from the townsite and its neighboring nature preserve.
About Gratomic Inc.
Established in 2014, Gratomic is an advanced materials company focused on low-cost mine to market commercialization of carbon-neutral, Eco-friendly, high purity vein graphite and is set to become a key player in EV and Renewable Resource supply chains. Gratomic Inc. is a leader among peers, anticipating full operational capabilities in late 2020 and aiming to transition to an open pit operation as early as the end of 2021.
Gratomic is in the process of solidifying its development plans for micronization and spheronization of its clean Aukam graphite. This significant milestone is a small, additional step in the Company’s existing Eco-friendly processing cycle and will allow its naturally high purity graphite to meet ideal North American battery grade standards for use in Li-ion battery anodes.
The Company promises to deliver mine-to-market traceability and guaranteed quality control. This will be accomplished by providing documented tracking on all graphite generated at its flagship Aukam Graphite Project. The tracking will begin at Aukam and will be verified at every stage during transport.
Two off-take purchase agreements are currently held for lump-vein graphite sourced from Gratomic’s Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia, Africa. Fulfillment of the contracts is slated to begin in 2021. The agreements exist with TODAQ and Phu Sumika.
TODAQ is an innovative tech company and will partner with Gratomic on its mine-to-market commodity tracking.
Phu Sumika is a large global graphite supplier to battery and lubrication companies.
Gratomic Inc. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol GRAT.

SPONSOR: Thoughtful Brands is an established natural health products company focused in the CBD and psychedelic medicine sectors. Through their powerful eCommerce business, Thoughtful is a leading direct-to-consumer provider of a wide range of natural health products throughout the United States and Europe
‘CBD doesn’t appear to have any … harmful effect on human health,’ the judges wrote.
The European Union’s highest court ruled today that cannabidiol (CBD) isn’t a narcotic drug.
The decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is a setback for EU countries that are cracking down on CBD products, arguing they are harmful to people’s health.
At issue was a French case against a Czech company that sold CBD extracted from the whole cannabis plant to use in electronic cigarette cartridges. France only allows extraction from cannabis seeds and fiber — not the whole plant.
The court ruled the law that prompted this legal action against the Czech producers was an unnecessary restriction of the free movement of goods because the substance doesn’t pose a threat to human health.
“A decision to prohibit the marketing of CBD, which indeed constitutes the most restrictive obstacle to trade in products lawfully manufactured and marketed in other [EU] Member States, can be adopted only if that risk appears sufficiently established,” the court wrote.
First, the court set aside EU regulations on hemp — cannabis with less than 0.2 percent of the psychoactive cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — in the bloc’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), because CBD “cannot be considered an agricultural product.”
Second, the court wrote that while countries can prohibit the free movement of goods of a banned substance like narcotic drugs, this prohibition doesn’t apply to CBD — because the substance isn’t a narcotic drug.
For example, it noted, two key U.N. conventions that classify various narcotics don’t specifically mention CBD, although they do mention “cannabis extracts.”
Banning the sale of CBD products because they’re a cannabis extract goes against the “general spirit” of the U.N. conventions, which aim to protect people’s health. CBD, unlike the psychoactive THC, “does not appear to have any psychotropic effect or any harmful effect on human health,” the court wrote.
The court conceded that a country can inhibit the free movement of goods on the basis of “public interest … provided that that legislation is appropriate … and does not go beyond what is necessary.” But such restrictions aren’t justified in this case, it said. As an example, it cited how France has not banned synthetic CBD, which has the same properties but is just not produced using the entire cannabis plant.
The court concluded that France isn’t required to prove that CBD is dangerous like narcotic drugs, but the country’s court must look at scientific data to ensure “the real risk to public health” is not “based on purely hypothetical considerations.”
Cannabis advocates hope that the ruling could set the groundwork for a legal CBD market. Currently, many CBD products in the EU are sold in a legal grey zone that allows cannabis to be sold for agricultural purposes.
Béchir Saket, vice president of the French cannabis advocacy group L630, said that the ruling was a “slap in the face” to France and prohibition of CBD in Europe. France in particular has fought against CBD products by shutting shops and prosecuting people who sell them.
“Many shops had been closed,” Saket said in an email. “Many managers and sometimes their families were taken into police custody or had their homes searched. [But today], the ECJ has ruled in our favour. It is a European decision that secures the CBD market.”
Stablecoin pioneer Uphold is claiming to have launched the first tradable retail carbon token.
The Universal Protocol Alliance, a coalition of blockchain companies led by Uphold and including Bittrex Global, Ledger, Certik and Infinigold, announced the Universal Carbon (UPCO2) token Tuesday.
By: Ian Allison
Each blockchain-based UPCO2 token represents a certified measure of carbon dioxide. They can be bought and held as an investment, or burned to offset a company or individual’s carbon footprint, the group said.
A rather overloaded term, “carbon credits” can refer to both government-issued credits traded on regulated markets, and voluntary carbon offsetting where credits can help remove emissions via projects that plant trees, for instance. Blockchain technology has been touted as a way to prevent the double counting (or double spending) of carbon credits in all areas and markets.
Uphold is starting out by tokenizing voluntary carbon credits, in particular REDD credits that are of high quality, easy to understand and make up about 58% of the voluntary carbon market, explained JP Thieriot, co-founder of the UP Alliance and CEO of Uphold. Each UPCO2 Token represents one year-ton of CO2 pollution averted by a certified REDD+ project preventing rainforest loss or degradation, he said.
Based on the Ethereum ERC-20 standard, the tokens are backed by a Voluntary Carbon Unit (VCU), a digital certificate issued by international standards agency Verra, which allows certified projects to turn their greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions into tradable carbon credits.
Today, the retail market for voluntary carbon credits – via sites like TerraPass or Cool Effect – allow access, but not holding or trading, which is the important distinction, said Thieriot.
“We are the first people in the world that are making these credits accessible to retail, and holdable,” he told CoinDesk in an interview. “So there’s lots of retail sites that allow you to offset the trip you just took to New Zealand or give somebody a clever Christmas present. But they don’t allow the buying and holding for investment or speculative purposes.”
When he began looking at voluntary credits as fungible assets, Thieriot expected the prevailing “NGO mindset” was probably going to be sceptical of a project to harness a younger generation’s speculative interest.
“Actually, every single conversation we had, people totally got it. They all understood that if we can pull that trick off, it could change the world,” Thieriot said.
Voluntary carbon offsetting is also of interest to companies like Amazon and Microsoft and Nike, said Thieriot, who are no longer interested in waiting around for governments to take the lead, and have set out to neutralize their current carbon footprint, or even their entire historical footprint, by their own initiative.
Meanwhile, demand for carbon credits is set to outstrip supply by a factor of four to one in 2020, according to the World Bank. And a change in the political climate in the U.S. looks likely, with President-elect Joe Biden announcing a climate administration.
The UPCO2 tokens are to undergo a “curing process,” which amounts to a primary issuance, said Thieriot, whereby they will be made available from today on the Uphold platform.
“Initially we are going to offer it on Uphold for about four to six weeks and then Bittrex Global will light it up,” Thieriot said. “And then we’d like every exchange in the world to pick them up.”

The 3 Reasons Why Arctic Star Is A World Class, Small Cap Diamond Explorer
Arctic Star Exploration (ADD:TSXV / ASDZF:OTCQB / 82A1.F:FRA) is in the diamond finding business.
The Company owns 100% of its flagship Timantti Diamond Project in Finland, where Arctic Star has discovered three diamondiferous kimberlites that may represent the first finds in a large kimberlite field. If you don’t know what a kimberlite is, keep drilling down and see below because this is truly exciting.
The project is located on the same geological belt as the Grib Diamond Mine in Russia, just 450 kms away. The Grib mine is one of the largest diamond mines in the world and was discovered by a team led by Arctic Star Director Roy Spencer. Keep drilling down to see more about him.
For those investors who have a little more experience and find themselves asking Why Finland? You should know that Finland was ranked as the World’s #2 mining jurisdiction in the world by the Fraser Institute 2020. In addition to its flagship project in Finland, the Company also controls diamond exploration properties in Nunavut (Stein) and the Northwest Territories of Canada (Diagras and Redemption).
But the real secret of Arctic Star is that it has tremendous potential to revolutionize the way in which Diamonds are discovered – and become a pioneer in the exploration industry – by finding diamonds in a place where no previous explorer has thought to do so. More than just a wild theory, Arctic Star has the team to back it up.
Here are the 3 things you need to know
1. World Class Diamond Finders
Arctic Star exploration has a highly experienced diamond exploration team previously responsible for numerous world class diamond mine discoveries. The team is led by Buddy Doyle who originally discovered Diavik Mine, Canada’s largest diamond mine in terms of carat production. Diavik’s exceptional grades make it one of the most valuable diamond mines in the world. Diavik is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where Arctic Star has 2 of their diamond properties.
Few geologists have seen 2 projects from discovery through to decision to mine. Mr. Doyle is recognized by his peers in the exploration industry as an authority on diamond exploration and kimberlite geology, and has authored/co-authored numerous papers on these subjects. He was awarded the 2007 Hugo Dummitt Award for excellence in Diamond exploration.
Roy Spencer – If that wasn’t enough, the geologist who discovered the multi-billion-dollar Grib Diamond Mine in Russia (see above). which is just 450 KMs away from Arctic Star’s project in Finland, has now joined Arctic’s Board of Directors! Clearly, the Arctic Star team has the credibility necessary to put forth a new thesis on how to find diamonds.
2. Brand New Exploration Model To Find Diamonds
In order to find diamonds, you need to first find Kimberlites. What are Kimberlites? Essentially, they are the rocks which contain diamonds. These kimberlite rocks are found underground in vertical structures known as kimberlite pipes. To illustrate in simple terms, see this basic image of a kimberlite pipe with kimberlite rocks inside of it.
Kimberlite pipes are the biggest source of diamonds today. When exploration companies go looking for kimberlites, the industry standard for finding them is to look for magnetic signatures. This is done by taking a magnetic survey from the air and/or ground. with a device called a magnetometer. Now, most of you won’t understand what you are looking at – but here is an example of one of the company’s magnetic surveys on its Canadian Diagras property.
The most important thing to understand is that the industry looks for magnetic signatures ….. but Buddy Doyle and the accomplished Arctic Star team have developed a NON MAGNETIC THESIS. They believe they will find economic diamonds by locating Kimberlite that do not have a magnetic signature where previous explores sought not to look. Arctic in a sense is exploring for diamonds the opposite way the industry traditionally does. Arctic acquired property big mining company’s dropped, because they looked at them one way. Arctic is looking differently and success is occurring quickly for this small, yet accomplished exploration outfit. There are already multiple drill ready targets in 2 countries using this new way of looking for diamonds.
Arctic offers multiple opportunities in 2 countries to turn the Diamond Industry on notice with a discovery.
3. Arctic Star Has Two Diamond Projects Ready To Verify Its Non-Magnetic Theory
Arctic has 2 diamond projects on which to verify its theory: Diagras in Northwest Territories of Canada and Timantti in Finland, where early exploration searching for Non-Magnetic signatures has already yielded multiple new diamond target
A. Diagras is next to Diavik (Canada’s largest diamond mine) and is drill ready to prove Buddy’s theory. Arctic has plans to drill in 2020
B. Timantti in Finland has 3 separate target areas and 6 targets altogether identified through non-magnetic signatures as a means to find diamonds and further excel Buddy’s theory, it is the company’s goal to drill test in 2020
If Buddy Doyle and the Arctic Star team are correct it will create a new discovery process for understanding how diamonds are brought to surface in areas previous explorers cared not to look. Arctic Star has the potential to create multiple discoveries and copycat companies trying to duplicate their success.
However, there is only one Buddy Doyle and Roy Spencer, which is why Arctic Star is the one Diamond Exploration Company every investor should be aware of.
