Key Executives Shift from #Beverage Industry to #Cannabis: Sproutly (CSE: $SPR.C) (OTCQB: $SRUTF), Corby (TSX: $CSW.A.TO) (TSX: $CSW.B.TO), Pernod Ricard SA, Aphria (TSX: $APHA.TO)


Point Roberts, WA - November 30, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks releases a sector snapshot with a focus on the shift and demand for seasoned beverage industry experts to enter the rapidly growing cannabis infused beverage market.
As cannabis focused companies prepare to enter into the infused beverage market, finding seasoned experience to enter into the international and national beverage markets has become paramount, as many of the technologies and R & D reach their final stages and are now simply waiting on legislation.
Companies like Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF), who have secured a proprietary water soluble technology which is being readied for the market, have now pushed their focus towards people. Sproutly just appointed Constantine Constandis to the Advisory Board, as well as announced that Michael Bellas, CEO and founder of Beverage Marketing Company, has joined the Company's board of directors.
From the news: Mr. Constandis is a global C-level executive with over 34 years of experience in the wine and spirits industry in Canada, USA, Europe and Asia. Constandis was a former senior executive with Pernod Ricard SA (RI:PA), the €37B publicly traded producer of wine and spirits whose global portfolio includes leading brands such as Absolute Vodka, Jameson, The Glenlivit, and Beefeater, among others; most recently serving as President of Pernod Ricard China and Pernod Ricard Asia Travel Retail. Prior to Pernod Ricard, Mr. Constandis was the CEO of Corby Spirit and Wine Ltd (TSX:CSW.A)(TSX:CSW.B) the TSX listed alcohol manufacturing and distribution company whose portfolio includes some of the most renowned brands in Canada, including J.P. Wiser's Canadian whiskies, Lamb's rum, Polar Ice vodka and McGuinness liqueurs.
Continued: "We are very pleased with the addition of Constantine Constandis to Sproutly's Advisory Board," said Keith Dolo, President and CEO of Sproutly. "Constantine is committed to becoming an active member of the Company's Advisory Board. His experience in brand building, operations, sales and marketing in the highly-regulated spirits industry will prove to be extremely valuable to Sproutly as it continues to develop into a leading cannabis beverage company," he concluded.
Sproutly Canada, Inc. also announced that Michael Bellas, CEO and founder of Beverage Marketing Company, has joined the Company's board of directors. Mr. Bellas is a seasoned beverage executive who brings over 45 years of experience working with leading beverage companies across all beverage categories.
From the news: "Mr. Bellas is among the most respected names in the beverage industry and we are extremely pleased that he has joined our board of directors," said Keith Dolo, President and CEO of Sproutly. "His experience in the beverage industry, working with some of the largest global companies and brands in the beverage sector adds tremendous value to Sproutly's mission," he added.
Sproutly may be on the move to gather as much beverage industry experience as possible in the coming months but they are not alone.
In June, Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE:APHA) announced the appointment of Joel Toguri as Vice President of Sales, effective on June 18, 2018. Mr. Toguri joins the Company from Southern Glazer's of Canada where he was Vice President of Sales and Operations since 2013.
From the news: "Toguri brings more than 20 years' experience in the Canadian beverage alcohol industry. Prior to Southern Glazer's, Mr. Toguri held leadership roles at MolsonCoors, Maxxium Wine & Spirits, and Beam Global Spirits & Wine."
Other companies have taken a different approach of simply combining company strengths, most notably the joint venture between HEXO Corp (TSX:HEXO) (OTC:HYYDF) and Molson Coors Canada (MCC). Truss, which will be led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye in the role of Chief Executive Officer, will report to the Truss board of directors consisting of three members appointed by MCC and two members appointed by HEXO.
This trend of beverage company executives, as well as the companies themselves, shifting towards the cannabis sector is due not only in part to the massive potential of the cannabis infused beverage industry, but also to a decrease in sales in the alcohol industry, which many have directly attributed to the added competition of cannabis infused products.
One article discussed this relationship between dropping alcohol sales and rising cannabis sales and the relationship millenials have started to play.
"The majority of the 55 million recreational marijuana users in the U.S. are millennials, according to a 2017 Yahoo News poll. Most millennials use marijuana socially: Only 25% of them smoke alone."
Continued: "Millennials drink far less alcohol than past generations, an annual national survey of 50,000 adolescents and young adults in America from the Monitoring the Future Study found. The share of college students who drink alcohol daily fell from 4.3% in 2016 to 2.2% in 2017, a drop of more than four percentage points from the 6.5% of college students who used alcohol daily in 1980."

#VideoSurveillance Market Growth with #AI, Cloud and #IoT; DirectView Holdings, Inc (OTC: $DIRV), FLIR ( $FLIR) Honeywell ( $HON) and Panasonic ( $PCRFY) @directviewinc, @honeywell, @flir, @panasonicsystem


Point Roberts, WA - November 30, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering security stocks releases a sector snapshot of the growing global video surveillance market, how companies in the sector are capitalizing on it and how smarter technology plays into the growth.
According to a report just released, "the Global Video Surveillance market accounted for $30.01 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $105.99 billion by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 15% during the forecast period."
Continued: "Some of the important factors driving the market growth include rising demand for DIY and Spy Cameras, recent events of crimes and terrorist attacks and growing implementation of IP Cameras. One of the major opportunities is the Ongoing Technological Advancements in Big Data, Video Analytics, IoT, and Cloud-Based Services."
Video and security technology company, DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) is hoping to tap into the growth of the sector through an acquisition plan, while simultaneously building out revenue with existing clients and contracts. The Company just announced yesterday they have signed a Buyer's Agreement Contract with Murphy Business Sales, a business brokerage firm specializing in mergers and acquisitions, to locate and acquire profitable companies in the surveillance and security industry.
From the news: "According to the agreement, the targeted business must generate annual sales ranging between $1,500,000.00 to $10,000,000.00, must be located in the United States and must fall in either of the following categories; CCTV integrators, CCTV Websites, Alarm Companies, Monitoring Companies, Low Voltage Cabling Companies and WiFi companies."
This follows up on news last week that the Company achieved record sales and gross profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reporting 22% sales growth to a record $3.3 million, a 20% growth in product sales to a record $2.7 million and a 32% growth in services sales to a record $0.6 million.
Looking at the biggest companies in the sector as a model for growth, market competition by top manufacturers based on production, revenue and market size, include: Hangzhou Hikvision, Honeywell, Axis Communications, Zhejiang Dahua Technology, FLIR Systems, Avigilon Corporation, Hanwha Techwin, Infinova Corporation, Nice Systems, Panasonic, Pelco By Schneider Electric, Start-Up Ecosystem, IP Video Mobile Technologies, Camcloud Inc., Solink Corporation and Camiolog, Inc., according to LPInformation.biz.
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR) announced financial results for the third quarter on October 30th saying, "Overall, I was pleased with the third quarter performance," said Jim Cannon, FLIR President and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered strong performance reaching our highest quarterly gross margin, operating margin, and operating cash flow in over five years. We also continued organic revenue growth despite challenging year-over-year comparables."
FLIR is betting on technology advancement for its future and recently announced the launch of FLIR TruWITNESS®, an industry-first wearable sensor platform designed for city-level security and public safety operations. TruWITNESS combines video, audio, location data, Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, and cloud and management software in one solution, allowing organizations to reach a new level of situational awareness. In mid- October they also reported the industry’s first deep learning inference-enabled machine vision camera, the FLIR Firefly.
DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) CEO Ralston also sees AI and deep learning as part of the future, telling Investor Ideas in a previous podcast interview, "The surveillance industry is continually evolving. We are now offering artificial intelligence."
Talking about smarter security and surveillance as a key to growth, Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HONsaid "As buildings become smarter, driven by trends like the Internet of Things and our increasingly connected world, security operations must follow suit. This can be a tall order, however, when you consider the scope and size of today’s connected organizations - and the number of cameras and other endpoints personnel must manage," said John Rajchert, President, Honeywell Building Solutions. "DVM R620 serves as a conduit for improved operator productivity and risk mitigation, leveraging connectivity for smarter surveillance that can more easily grow and expand as needs change and evolve."
Panasonic Corporation’s (PCRFY) Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America, Security Group, introduced its FacePRO deep learning facial recognition system, using extreme sensing and enhanced detection technology to identify persons of interest and alert authorities of their presence in real-time, at the Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2018 Expo in Las Vegas in September.
For investors following the sector key trends to look for include companies incorporating and integrating smarter technology, enhancing their current product portfolios.

It appears that the recovery seen yesterday is holding for now, as total market capitalization at press time is about $139 billion USD, up two billion from yesterday's Crypto Corner, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
In the wake of this recovery, CoinDesk reports that Google searches for "bitcoin" have reached their highest level since the first week of April this year. The latest search data totals 17 percent of the search volume set from Dec 17-23 when Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at its peak for around $20,000 USD.
CNBC reports that Jeff Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and CEO of its parent company Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE), spoke favourably about the fate of cryptocurrencies at the Consensus: Invest conference on Tuesday. Sprecher said that cryptocurrencies are here to stay but did not want to speculate on trading prices.
"Will digital assets survive? The unequivocal answer is yes. As an exchange operator it's not our objective to opine on prices."
The government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to two initiatives regarding blockchain and also AI technology, according to a report from Emirates News Agency. At the UAE Annual Meetings in Abu Dhabi, the government announced the launch of the AI and Blockchain Guide initiative, which "aims at providing a standardised definition of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain on the federal level." Additionally, the meeting saw the announcement of the National Programme for AI and Blockchain Capacity Building, which "aims at providing educational university programmes and scholarships in the field of artificial intelligence and Blockchain, in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education."
Blockchain-based social media platform Steemit is laying off more than 70 percent of its staff following the recent market crash, according to a Youtube post by company CEO Ned Scott. Steemit is run off the Steem blockchain and users and content creators are rewarded with the native STEEM token.

Global AI in Agriculture Market Could Reach Over $2 Billion by 2024 – According to New Research

Zion Market Research's new report, Global AI in Agriculture, projects that the market will grow from $545 million USD in 2017 to $2,075 million (2.075 billion) by 2024. This represents a compound annual growth rate of about 21 percent in the forecast period. According to the report, applications of AI technology in the agriculture sector include: agriculture robots, agricultural drones, driverless tractors, crop health monitoring, facial recognition, and automated irrigation systems. A press release from Market Analysis News notes potential drawbacks on growth:

Body and Mind Inc. and Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSAannounced an investment by BaM into Green Light District Holdings, Inc. by way of a USD $5,200,000 senior secured convertible note at a rate equal to 20% per annum. The note is convertible into 89.75% of the shares of GLDH at the option of the Company. In addition, BaM has an agreement to issue additional consideration to David Barakett totalling USD $6,297,580 payable in shares of BaM at price of CAD $0.7439 upon meeting certain milestones. The price was calculated using a 5-day volume weighted average price as of November 28, 2018. BaM's investment in GLDH was funded in part by a $4,000,000 secured loan from Australis.
GLDH is the owner of the well-known ShowGrow dispensary brand and owner of the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary, 43% of the equity interest and 60% of the voting rights in the ShowGrow San Diego dispensary, 30% equity interest in ShowGrow Las Vegas, and 100% ownership of the popular ShowGrow app. The dispensaries are in various stages of licensing: Long Beach has a medical license, San Diego has a conditional use permit ("CUP"), and Las Vegas has a recreational license. GLDH focuses on building dispensaries in high volume locations and will continue to work toward receiving its recreational status at both Long Beach and San Diego. ShowGrow San Diego still requires build out and is not yet open for business.
Leonard Clough, BaM's CEO commented, "Our gratitude goes to the team at Australis, who worked tirelessly in assisting us in getting this deal completed within a one-week period. Australis not only provided BaM with a secured credit facility, but also agreed to exercise approximately 3.2 million warrants to allow us to maintain a responsible debt to equity ratio. This is a demonstration of how the Australis and BaM relationship benefits both our shareholders. Secondly, I am happy to welcome David to our team and believe that this opportunity is multi-dimensional as it provides a benefit to almost all our business segments."
