VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / Weekend Unlimited Inc. (“Weekend” or the “Company”) (CSE: YOLO) (FSE: 0OS1) wishes to provide clarification on its investments in Jerome Baker and in Northern Lights Organics. As projects unfold, it sometimes becomes apparent that the original structure of the investment will not work as anticipated.

In respect to Jerome Baker, the Company owns 51% of the operating company, located in Nevada. Because of the inability of the Company to obtain reliable financial records, it was forced to write down its investment in this company in accordance with IFRS. Notwithstanding that write down, the Company is in negotiations with the other shareholder to convert its equity interest into an exclusive license agreement. The Company continues to feel that the Jerome Baker brand has value as one of the most recognized brands in glassware and associated products.

After reviewing the investment case for its northern BC organic hemp brand, the Company is in negotiations to convert its 100% equity ownership in the operating company into a minority interest and a royalty on production. With alternative near term revenue opportunities, the Company is looking to make the best use of its capital.

The Company also wishes to announce that it has granted 2 million options to its Chief Executive Officer under the terms of its incentive stock option plan. These options are exercisable at $0.15 for a period of 5 years.

PLANTATION, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / KING KANINE – the CBD pet product manufacturer announces the opening of the company’s non-profit called “Dogs Rock and Roll” is aimed at saving rescue dogs. The initiative, led by the company’s president and founder, Jeff Riman, KING KANINE is seeking to bring transformative medicinal capabilities for pets, as well as, in the charity space.

“Dogs Rock and Roll” is set out on a mission to raise awareness and funds for dogs with spinal afflictions, paralysis and amputee needs. The non-profit will be raising money for harnesses and wheelchairs for dogs that are immobile due to their affliction. This will then help rescue organizations, shelters and pet owners who otherwise couldn’t afford them on their own.

The company throughout its lifespan has consistently given tens of thousands of dollars to charities that focus on pet rescue and pet rehabilitation. Further charitable contributions have also been in the form of-kind donations and volunteer hours, as well as, working with other charities to drive fundraising for certain key projects. These projects have included working with Marley’s Mutts, Gentle Giants Great Dane Rescue, New York Bully Crew, Freckles and Tomcat as well as many more. The opening of the company’s non-profit is a more strategic method to bring even more resources to where it is needed most for pets.

Prior, the company KING KANINE had received nationally renowned attention on winning the 2018 Gold Paw Award from the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals. Due to the company’s love and passion for the adoration of pets, the founders have dedicated their time and resources for not only innovative products for dogs but for also pioneering concepts to fundraise for shelters.

The KING KANINE journey started when Jeff Riman who had started out as a designer was talking with his friend, retired NFL player, Oronde Gadsden of the Miami Dolphins about how CBD supplements are relieving pain for other retired football players. The health benefits of CBD oils are rapidly gaining traction among the medical community. The Endocannabinoid biological system has long been known to regulate specific neurotransmitters within the central nervous system relating to appetite, pain, mood, memory, and other physiological and cognitive processes. CBD interacts directly with these neurotransmitters through pharmacological mechanisms that have been shown to increase levels of endocannabinoids in the body with numerous therapeutic benefits. [1]

For these football players, CBD not only assisted in muscular pain but also for chronic head pain from injuries that a helmet couldn’t fully stop throughout their career. Jeff had then thought about what positive health benefits this could also bring for man’s best friend, for dogs. As dogs age faster than their human counterparts, there became a more increasing need to find solutions for their anxiety and pain.

CBD and other usages of Cannabidiol really work to calm pets. A recent 2018 pharmacokinetic and clinical study done by the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University has determined that “2 mg/kg of CBD twice daily can help increase comfort and activity in dogs with OA (osteoarthritis).” The study states further that “baseline scores showed a significant decrease in pain and increase in activity (p < 0.01) at week 2 and 4 during CBD treatment.”[2]

FALL RIVER, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / Atlantic Capes Fisheries, Inc. (ACF) has reached a settlement with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and four women in a sexual harassment lawsuit. The lawsuit stems from claims that largely predate ACF’s acquisition of an operational and fully staffed IQF Custom Packing, Inc. (IQF) processing plant in Fall River, Mass., in 2013. The majority of the 175 employees at the IQF facility were temporary employees, employed by BJ’s Service Company, Inc. (BJ’s).

The terms of the settlement include $130,000 for three women and $75,000 for a fourth woman alleged to have been subject to harassment. ACF is pleased that three of the four women receiving settlements never resigned their employment and remain valued employees in the company’s operations. One of the women voluntarily chose not to return to work after sustaining an injury. The costs of the settlement will be split between ACF and BJ’s.

When ACF acquired the Fall River facility in 2013, it immediately put in place equal opportunity, anti-discrimination and anti-sexual harassment policies and practices. ACF initially kept the IQF management team in place for the sake of continuity, and were only belatedly made aware of the allegations that gave rise to this lawsuit. As soon as ACF management learned of general allegations of harassment, the company immediately invited workers to come forward and share specific concerns and hired counsel to assist in investigating these complaints. The workers alleged to have behaved inappropriately are no longer employed by either ACF or BJ’s.

The EEOC aggressively investigated these particular claims and also whether there was evidence of a wider pattern or practice of discrimination in the work place. The EEOC questioned all employees confidentially to determine if there was evidence of discrimination. The agency also mailed letters in English and Spanish to present and past employees seeking confidential information about other work place misconduct. No other employees have reported being harassed and no further claims have arisen.

Even before being made aware of these isolated complaints, ACF management and staff were actively working to improve the working conditions at its Fall River facility. Improvements include the implementation of an ”open door policy” and zero tolerance for workplace harassment, physical improvements to the facility to create a stronger work environment, employee-centered changes to the facility’s vacation and holiday policies, and a bilingual on-site liaison to assist all workers in the facility. Additionally, ACF has already engaged trainers for agreed-to sexual harassment training, scheduled to take place next month.

About ACF’s Fall River Facility

ACF’s Fall River facility processes and packs Atlantic sea scallops, and is committed to long term relationships with its suppliers, customers, and workers. The facility is a clean, safe, and friendly workplace that provides meaningful and valuable employment to over 175 people, and high-quality seafood to consumers.

BJ’s Service Company, Inc. is not affiliated with BJ’s Wholesale Club.

BELGRADE, SRB / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2019 / Over the course of the last few weeks, game developers and publishers that utilize the Xsolla platform have begun to rely more and more on withdrawing the profits that they make directly in
MobileGo (MGO) tokens rather than in fiat. It’s important to note that Xsolla supports multiple assets and payment systems. So, why the sudden rise in MGO’s popularity among game developers and publishers that utilize the Xsolla platform?

Where the action is taking place

Before we dive deeper into MGO’s rise in popularity, it’s worth looking into what Xsolla is and what makes it unique. Xsolla started out more than a decade ago as a platform that allowed players to acquire in-game items using fiat currencies. Over the course of its existence, Xsolla has grown to become a powerhouse in the gaming industry. The platform currently has a turnover of close to $100 million per month, accommodates half a billion users from over 200 countries, granting them access to over 500 games and 100 different currencies, alongside MGO, which can be taken advantage of through 700 payment systems, and processes over 40 million transactions on a yearly basis. In essence, Xsolla is a gaming industry company which provides game publisher and devs access to billing, payment, game distribution, and marketing tools.

While the platform supports MGO and over 100 other currencies that can be utilized via it’s 700 various payment providers, withdrawals from the platform are only allowed to be carried out in two currencies, fiat or MGO tokens. With the latter seeing growing popularity when it comes to cashing out earned funds. Which spells awesome news for the MobileGo project and demonstrates rising demand for MGO tokens.

Who’s using MGO today?

Currently, over a dozen different teams are actively converting and cashing out their profits through the use of MobileGo tokens via the Xsolla platform. So far, the volume of MGO being moved comes close to a quarter million dollars on a regular basis. It’s expected that more teams will come to favor operations involving MGO tokens opposed to fiat as MobileGo’s popularity and global awareness rise. Thus, it’s quite likely that MGO will account for close to 30% of Xsolla’s monthly volume in the very near future. As mentioned previously, Xsollas monthly turnover inches close to a whopping $100 million.

Let’s dive into further detail as to why teams and game devs prefer MGO over other options.

Why MGO is the currency of choice for game devs

Generally, when it comes to fiat currencies, it takes game developers and producers quite a bit of time to actually receive the money that they earned through their hard work. It’s not at all uncommon for this process to drag out and take weeks or even months on end. In addition to the occasionally huge time frames, it’s necessary to take into account that contractors, salaries, and equipment need to be paid off as well. Add the hefty transactional fees and commissions that accompany all fiat based operations on top of the waiting game and you’ve got game developers walking away with way less than what they earned and deserve.

In contrast, utilizing MGO for payouts is way faster, cost-efficient, secure, and simple in comparison to other commonly used payment methods. Once funds are received, the withdrawal process is as easy as making a few mouse clicks, requires little tech know-how and you’ve got your funds in no more than 20 minutes. The best part? No pesky fees and commissions. MGO tokens can be sent to most cryptocurrency wallets that support Ethereum based assets. However, many prefer to withdraw MGO directly to crypto exchanges, primarily to behemoths Bitforex and Bitfinex.

Once the MGO tokens are withdrawn, users are in full control over their assets. They can convert them into popular cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, USDT on exchanges that support MGO tokens or swap them directly for fiat currencies.

What the future holds for MGO

Over the course of the last year, MGO tokens have been gaining traction and seeing increased popularity on from game devs and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The tokens volume has been steadily rising alongside the projects overall market capitalization ($25 million as of the time of this writing), and the currency is being relied on more and more on a daily basis by developers the world over.

This undeniably sets a precedent and paints a bright future for both the MGO and Xsolla ecosystems. As the token comes to see increasingly more demand from game devs for taking hold of their profits, it’s expected that the tokens price will continue to rise. The value that MGO tokens currently hold is built on actual money flow, use cases, and real-world applications within the thriving gaming industry, which together with MGO continues to gain momentum and expand in popularity and worth on a daily basis.
