VIDEO – PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Received First $1.4M Payment On $25M Contract; US Aircraft Carrier Order For $13.5M Imminent $RTN $NOC $UTX $HPQ.ca $DDD.ca $SSYS $PRLB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:52 PM on Wednesday, March 25th, 2020

In October of 2019, PyroGenesis announced a $20M contract, in which its technology would be used by one of the biggest high-tech aluminum smelters in the world.  Yesterday, the Company received it’s first $1.44M payment of a total of $8M to be received over the next several weeks.

If that wasn’t enough, after already having sold two plasma torch based systems to the US Navy for installation on two aircraft carries, PyroGenesis the Company has already been advised by the US Navy that $13.5M in orders are coming for two more aircraft carriers.  

To this end, investors will be happy to hear that PyroGenesis has been deemed an essential service, is fully operating with almost all employees working remotely and does not foresee any demand side or supply chain issues hampering the Company’s operations.  

Finally and perhaps most importantly, CEO Peter Pascali discusses the civil duty reasons behind his $100,000 donation to Quebec healthcare in its fight against COVID-19, as well as, the corporate duty reasons for not laying off a single employees despite a virtual shutdown of the global economy.  

On all fronts, this is the most powerful interview we have ever produced with a Canadian small cap company.   

If you are just discovering PyroGenesis (PYR:TSXV) then grab your favourite drink and watch this powerful video …. or listen in via podcast when you want to tune out the world and learn about an incredible company.  

Please be sure to share this interview with your networks.  Thank-you.

Mr. P. Peter Pascali of PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Donates $100,000 in the Battle Against #COVID19

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:23 AM on Wednesday, March 25th, 2020

On March 19th, 2020, Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO of PyroGenesis Canada Inc, personally donated $100,000 to the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (“CHUM”) Foundation, McGill University Health Centre (“MUHC”) Foundation, and Montreal General Hospital Foundation, all in Quebec, Canada, in order to demonstrate public support for the health care workers in their ongoing battle against COVID-19.

“The primary reason I wanted to make this donation was to demonstrate to the health care workers of Quebec, the doctors, the nurses and support staff, that the public has their back in our battle against COVID-19,” said Mr. Pascali. “That we will do all in our power to ensure that they have the tools to do the job we know they so desperately want to do properly.”

At the same time Mr. Pascali called upon Quebec Industry leaders, sports figures, and other luminaries to support him in this challenge: “This is a group effort,” he said, “The Government is doing an amazing job.  The health care workers are the unsung heroes in this crisis. Now it is time to do our part. The tragedy unfolding today has not been seen on this scale since World War II.  This is not the time for us to stand idly by.  Quebec needs you.  Your friends and family need you. Above all, those on the front line, who may be caring for you or a loved one very soon, need you.”

Mr. Pascali was quick to note that “As we are starting to hunker down to weather the storm, and the bars, sports events and restaurants close, we have each surely saved $10.  If each of us donates $10 to the cause, we will collect well over $50 million.”

When asked why he chose these institutions for his donations, Mr. Pascali answered simply, “They represent both French and English sector hospitals, and quite frankly this virus is oblivious to language, religion, color, sex or creed.  As such I thought it fitting to fund these institutions. They all have their jobs to do.”

In conclusion, Mr. Pascali had a special message to some of the younger, more driven, members of Quebec: “To all those teenagers and young adults sitting at home who may, or may not, be able to contribute financially to the extent they would like, there is a lot you can do.  You can make this into a movement by sharing and blogging what we are trying to do.  You may not realize it now, but you are players in a crisis of historical proportion. You can change its course by working your magic.  You have the power to turn this into a tsunami of support and save lives with the same effect as if you were a health care provider on the front lines. These health care providers will not let you down.  Let us not let them down.”

This is How Malicious #Deepfakes Can Be Beat – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:15 PM on Tuesday, March 24th, 2020

SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited (TSX-V: DM) A revenue generating small cap A.I. company that NATO and Canadian Defence are using to fight fake news & social media threats. The company announced three $1M contacts in Q3-2019. Click here for more info.

This is How Malicious Deepfakes Can Be Beat

  • The growth of image manipulation techniques is eroding both trust and informed decision-making.
  • Although it is impossible to ID and prove fakes in real time, we can ascertain which images are truthful.
  • Software already exists that can verify images’ provenance – the next step will be hardware-based.

By Qrius

Today, the world captures over 1.2 trillion digital images and videos annually – a figure that increases by about 10% each year. Around 85% of those images are captured using a smartphone, a device carried by over 2.7 billion people around the world.

But as image capture rates increase, so does the rate of image manipulation. In recent years the level and speed of audio visual (AV) manipulation has surprised even the most seasoned experts. The advent of generative adversarial networks (GANs) – or ‘deepfakes’ – has captured the majority of headlines because of their ability to completely undermine any confidence in visual truth.

And even if deepfakes never proliferate in the public domain, the world has nevertheless been upended by ‘cheapfakes’ – a term that refers to more rudimentary image manipulation methods such as photoshopping, rebroadcasting, speeding and slowing video, and other relatively unsophisticated techniques. Cheapfakes have already been the main tool in the proliferation of disinformation and online fraud, which have had significant impacts on businesses and society.

The growth of image manipulation has made it more difficult to make sound decisions based on images and videos – something businesses and individuals are doing at an increasing rate. This includes personal decisions ranging from purchases on peer-to-peer marketplaces, meeting people when online dating, or voting; and business decisions, like fulfilling an insurance claim or executing a loan. Even globally important decisions are impacted, such as the international response to images and videos displaying atrocities or egregious violence in conflict zones or non-permissive areas, and much more.

Each of these very different use cases highlights two contradictory trends; we rely on images and videos more than ever before, but we trust them less than we ever have. This is a significant gap that is growing by the day and has forced government and technologists to invest in image-detection technology.

Unfortunately, there is no sustainable way to detect fake images in real time and at scale. This sobering fact will likely not change anytime soon.

There are several reasons for this. First, almost all metadata is lost, stripped or altered as an image travels through the internet. By the time that image hits a detection system, it will be impossible to reproduce lost metadata – and therefore details like the original date, time, and location of an image will likely remain unknown.

Second, almost all digital images are instantly compressed and resized once they are shared across the internet; while some manipulations are benign (such as recompression), others may be significant and intended to deceive the content consumer. In either case, the recompression and resizing of images as they are uploaded and transmitted makes it difficult, if not impossible, to detect pixel-level manipulations due to the loss of fidelity in the actual photo.

Third, when an automated or machine-learning-based detection technique is identified and democratized, bad actors will quickly identify a workaround in order to remain undetectable.

What makes detection even more difficult is social media, which disseminates content – fake or real – in seconds. Those intent on deceiving can inject fake content onto social media platforms instantly. Even successful debunking would likely be too late to stop the fake content from spreading, and cognitive dissonance and bias would more greatly influence consumers’ decisions.

So if detection will not work, how do we arm people, businesses and the international community with the tools to make better decisions? Through images’ provenance. If the world cannot prove what is fake, then it must prove what is real.

Today, technology does exist – such as Controlled Capture, software developed by my company, Truepic – that is able to both establish the provenance of images and to verify critical metadata at the point of capture. This is possible thanks to advances in smartphone tech, cellular networks, computer vision and blockchain. However, to truly restore trust in images on a global level, the use of verified imagery will need to scale beyond software to hardware.

To achieve this ambitious goal, image veracity technology will need to be embedded into the chipsets that power smartphones. Truepic is working with Qualcomm Technologies, the largest maker of smartphone chipsets, to demonstrate the viability of this approach. Once complete, this integration would allow smartphone makers to include a ‘verified’ mode to each phone’s native camera app – thus putting verified image technology into the hands of hundreds of millions of users. The end result will be cryptographically-signed images with verified provenance, empowering decision-makers to make smart choices on a personal, business or global scale. This is the future of decision-making in the era of disinformation and deepfakes.

You can go to jail for spreading fake news about #Covid19 – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:38 PM on Monday, March 23rd, 2020

You can go to jail for spreading fake news about Covid-19

  • As the coronavirus (Covid-19) spreads, so does the misinformation
  • Recently referred to by the WHO as an “infodemic”, the volume of information that is both true and false has been communicated across all platforms globally

Geraint Crwys-Williams, chief business officer, Primedia Group and acting CEO, Primedia Broadcasting says, “Now, more than ever, the role of accountable and credible media has come to the fore. Government officials and healthcare professionals are using trusted broadcast media and digital platforms of established, verified, media outlets to circulate correct information on Covid-19. There has been a particular focus also on debunking the myths and misinformation in circulation, which is an important role of accountable media as a public service.”

On Wednesday, the Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, set out the Regulations in terms of Section 27 (2) of the Disaster Management Act. According to the Government Gazette, “Any person who publishes any statement, through any medium, including social media, with the intention to deceive any other person about— (a) Covid-19; (b) Covid-19 infection status of any person; or (c) any measure taken by the Government to address Covid-19, commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine or imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months, or both such fine and imprisonment.”

Despite this, hoaxes are still being posted on social media, and are gaining traction. The most recent fake news post is a Facebook account purportedly belonging to President Cyril Ramaphosa that told South Africans to stay indoors at 10am as helicopters would be spraying chemicals across the country against coronavirus. 8,000 social media users spread that news onwards.

Adds Crwys-Williams, “We urge all South Africans to be mindful of the source of information that they receive. Misinformation does not just cause unnecessary panic; it also puts citizens at risk. We have a duty of care to our employees, our communities and our audience to provide accurate, informative communication to ensure we play our part in reducing, not just the spread of the virus, but of unnecessary panic too.”

He adds that simply sharing misinformation could make someone complicit in the crime, even though this was not the intention.

“We recommend that South Africans go to their trusted news sources such as credible broadcast, print and online media for updates. The South African Government is being vigilant about ensuring that correct information is being disseminated across these channels. They also have a WhatsApp group on 060 012 3456 that offers up-to-date information – simply type ‘hi’ to be included.”

INTERVIEW: Empower $CBDT.ca #CBD Clinics Designated Essential Service – February Visits Climb 800% $WEED.ca $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $HEXO.ca $OGI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:12 PM on Thursday, March 19th, 2020

With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for.  Patient visits increased 351% in Q4 and 800% in February.  But would Coronavirus social gathering imitations put the clinic network at risk?

No.  In fact, it has had the opposite effect, with the clinics being designated an essential service.  Moreover, Empower has had to actually increase operating hours.

Watch this interview with the Company’s CEO, Steven McAuley, who is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which also explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history.  

Grab your favourite beverage and settle in to watch what may be your next great small cap investment.
