ADAPTING CORE TECH TO PROVIDE BLUE CHIP CUSTOMERS WITH REAL-TIME AIR DETECTION OF COVID-19 IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the needs of its blue chip customer base, Kontrol is adapting its core technologies team to development and commercialize its Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer, a wall-mounted technology which detects the presence of COVID-19 in the air of commercial buildings and triggers an alert system to provide real time notifications.

GEARING UP PRODUCTION FOR UP TO 20,000 UNITS PER MONTH

Initial expectations, based on lab testing completed to date, is that BioCloud will be effective in small to medium space settings with 3 or more people, and therefore would be suitable for areas such as classrooms, offices, airplanes, trains, buses, long-term care facilities and hospitals. The company is currently building a global supply chain with the goal of being able to supply 20,000 units per month.

The implications of the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer could be enormous and could have a major impact on the global economy. Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol Energy has received calls from interested parties spanning the entire globe. In addition, mainstream media has taken notice:

  • Announced the appointment of Dr. Susan Barry to the Binovi Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Barry joins the other members of the board in directing the company’s advancements
  • “Dr. Barry’s experiences as a patient of vision therapy have informed her extensive career and we hope to gain from her perspective on both sides of the vision care coin. Her work in the neurological examination of vision will prove incredibly valuable in our pursuit of further testing and treatment options for students and patients young and old,” commented Adam Cegielski, President and CEO. 

November 17, 2020 Toronto, New York – Binovi Technologies Corp., (Binovi) (TSXV:VISN ) ( OTC:BNVIF) is proud to announce the appointment of Dr. Susan Barry to the Binovi Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Barry joins the other members of the board in directing the company’s advancements. 

“Dr. Barry’s experiences as a patient of vision therapy have informed her extensive career and we hope to gain from her perspective on both sides of the vision care coin. Her work in the neurological examination of vision will prove incredibly valuable in our pursuit of further testing and treatment options for students and patients young and old,” commented Adam Cegielski, President and CEO. 

“It is a distinct privilege to have Dr. Barry join our Scientific Advisory Board,” said Dr. Leonard Press, Chief Scientific Officer. “Her unique blend of insights and communication skills that crosses many lines between educators, eyecare professionals, researchers and the public is a tremendous asset to Binovi.” 

” Children struggling in school, adults recovering from a stroke, and athletes seeking to improve their game may all benefit from vision therapy. Its effects are often life-changing. I am looking forward to working with the Binovi team to develop new training techniques, explore the science behind vision therapy, and make vision therapy more accessible worldwide,” commented Dr. Susan R Barry, Ph.D. 

About Dr. Susan Barry 

Susan R. Barry, Ph.D. is an educator, scientist, and author who has spoken worldwide on the topics of neuroplasticity and binocular vision. She earned her B.A. in biology from Wesleyan University in 1976 and Ph.D. in biology from Princeton University in 1981. She has worked as a research neuroscientist at the University of Miami Medical School, the University of Michigan, the Marine Biological Laboratory, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center and published papers on synaptic transmission and eye-head-hand coordination. In 1992, she joined the faculty of Mount Holyoke College where she rose to the rank of full professor, retiring from the college in 2016. The Princeton Review lists Barry among the 300 outstanding college teachers in the U.S., her paper on the work of Frederick W. Brock was selected as the best published paper in the Journal of Behavioral Optometry in 2011, and in 2013 she received the Meribeth E. Cameron Faculty Award for Scholarship from Mount Holyoke College. 

For years, Barry taught her neurobiology students the conventional scientific wisdom that stereovision could develop only during a critical period in early childhood. She even used her own vision history to support this dogma since she had been cross-eyed since early infancy and was stereoblind. However, at age forty-eight, she consulted a developmental optometrist who prescribed a program of optometric vision therapy. To her utter astonishment, her vision improved dramatically, and she experienced her first 3D views. Dubbed “Stereo Sue” by Oliver Sacks in a 2006 New Yorker article by that name, Dr. Barry has gone on to write her own book Fixing My Gaze: A Scientist’s Journey into Seeing in Three Dimensions (Basic Books, 2009) which was rated the fourth best science book for 2009 by the editors of Amazon.com, selected as one of the best sci-tech books of 2009 by the Library Journal, and has been translated into seven languages. Barry’s second book, Coming to Our Senses: A Boy Who Learned to See, A Girl Who Learned to Hear, and How We All Discover the World , will be published by Basic Books in the summer of 2021.

Red Light Holland $TRIP.ca Engages RadixMotion to Develop iMicrodose Digital Care Program Using Latest Immersive Technology $SHRM.ca $RVV.ca $MMED $PLNT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:09 AM on Tuesday, November 17th, 2020
Red-Light-Holland-Square
  • RadixMotion will design and develop a digital care program for people exploring microdosing
  • The core of the digital care program is a privacy first iMicrodose Journal,
  • A web app where people can anonymously document their microdosing and receive data driven analytics that will help them make informed choices around their usage

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 17, 2020) – Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that via its Scarlette Lillie Science and Innovation division, it has engaged RadixMotion Inc. (“RadixMotion“), an immersive technology company based in the State of Delaware, to design and develop a digital care program for people exploring microdosing. The program will accompany customers from the first time they encounter iMicrodose products in Smartshops via the iMicrodose Media Information Centre (“iMIC“) with an educational interactive augmented reality app. The core of the digital care program is a privacy first iMicrodose Journal, a web app where people can anonymously document their microdosing and receive data driven analytics that will help them make informed choices around their usage. The app will use Radix Motion’s expertise in biometric human pose data to give people feedback on whether microdosing has measurable effects on reducing their physiological tension or influences other features of their body posture. People using the digital care program will be able to opt in to share their anonymous data with the wider community allowing for substantial advancements in research.

“As access to psychedelics grows we want to provide people with the support they need to make the most out of microdosing via digital health mechanisms, which now includes our iMicrodose digital care program,” said Todd Shapiro, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. “While other companies in the sector are focused on clinical trials which take years to prove out, this approach of Scarlette Lillie, our science and innovation division, can have immediate benefits. We want to be a part of understanding psilocybin usage now as the mental health crisis is rampant. Gatekeepers can be limiting. We believe in working with informed consumers who are willingly sharing their data.”

‘Digital Health’ is defined as the convergence of digital technologies with health, healthcare, living, and society to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and make it more personalized and precise. Scarlette Lillie is pleased to continue their partnership with Sarah Hashkes, CEO of RadixMotion – who published the first academic paper using the Predictive Coding frameworks to explain what psychedelics do to brains – to create a personalized iMicrodose Journal, a web-based app where people will be able to document their psilocybin use and they will be able to opt in to share their anonymous important data with the community which can then potentially be shared with scientific and medical experts. Microdosing research is at its infancy and this data has huge potential to increase Scarlette Lillie’s understanding rapidly.

“We are excited that our expertise in neuroscience and immersive technology is giving people tools to understand themselves and promoting responsible use of psychedelics. Red Light Holland’s and Scarlette Lillie’s care for their customers is a beacon of hope in the emerging psychedelic market. The consent based approach this program is taking around customers’ data and communicating with customers, we believe, is revolutionary and we hope many companies will follow this example. We are also excited about the AR aspect where customers can receive inspirational messages based on the latest research on wellness when they aim the app at iMicrodose products,” said Sarah Hashkes, CEO of RadixMotion and Scarlette Lillie’s Scientific Advisor. “But where it gets really exciting, as a scientific researcher in psychedelics, is if people do trust us and opt in to share their anonymous data with the community we will have a data set that can take microdosing research to a whole new level. The journal will immediately provide people with analytics about their microdosing so they can find what works best for them, but in the long run, Scarlette Lillie can hopefully use this data, including the unique biometric human pose data, to potentially find out what works best for people all over the world.”

Scarlette Lillie Science and Innovation estimates the total cost for the iMicrodose Digital Care Program, including Augmented Reality for the in-store iMic centres and the iMicrodose web-app Journal to be approximately USD$85,000. The completion of the Augmented Reality for the in-store iMIC remains on pace, expected to be launched before the end of 2020 and the iMicrodose web-app Journal is expected to be completed by RadixMotion and available by the end of Q1 2021.

A 998-Carat Diamond, the Fifth-Largest Ever, Discovered in Botswana SPONSOR: Arctic Star Exploration $ADD.ca $RIO $DIAM.ca $NAR.ca $MPVD.ca

SPONSOR: Arctic Star Exploration is currently exploiting the Diagras Diamond Property, NWT. Adjoined by both Diavik and Ekati Mines, Arctic has combined known data on Diagras with modern Gravity and EM geophysical survey techniques to delineate viable Kimberlite targets. Arctic Star is currently preparing a drill program. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO

Another week, another huge diamond discovered in Botswana. But “huge” might do this stone a disservice, as it’s actually one of the five largest ever unearthed.

Canadian miner Lucara Diamond Corp has just announced the recovery of a 998-carat high white diamond at its Karowe mine in the southern African nation. The diamond is clivage, meaning it will have to be broken down before it can be processed into polished stones.

Lucara found the massive stone—which measures 2.6 inches x 1.9 inches x 1.8 inches—from direct milling of ore sourced from the south lobe of the mine, according to a press release. It’s just the latest noteworthy diamond discovery at the mine this year. Just in 2020 alone, Karowe has produced 31 diamonds greater than 100 carats, of which 10 are greater than 200 carats and two are greater than 500 carats. The other 500-plus carat stone is a 549-carat diamond named Sethynya that Lucara recently sold to Louis Vuitton.

Even before these recent discoveries, Karowe already had a reputation of producing giant stones. In 2015, the company found a 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona which sold for $53 million, and shortly after that a 813-carat Constellation stone that went for $63 million, according to Bloomberg. And last year, the Lucara found a 1,758-carat—the second biggest on the planet—which it also sold to Louis Vuitton in February of this year.

“Lucara is extremely pleased with the continued recovery of large high-quality diamonds from the South Lobe of the Karowe mine,” CEO Eira Thomas said in a statement. “To recover two 500-plus carat diamonds in 10 months along with the many other high-quality diamonds across all the size ranges is a testament to the unique aspect of the resource at Karowe and the mine’s ability to recover these large and rare diamonds.”

It remains to be seen what will happen to the diamond now. Lucara did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Robb Report, but did say in the press release that it is evaluating potential steps forward with its cutting and polishing partner, HB Antwerp.
