DIETIKON, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Cannabis Suisse is releasing its new service to the European market. Your Cannabis Grow is an innovative service which allows customers from Europe to grow their own cannabis seedling in one of Cannabis Suisse's indoor farms located in Switzerland.

This is an ethical, transparent and sustainable way to source the product containing essential CBD and EU sanctioned levels of THC – individually cultivated straight from the farm. Cannabis Suisse experts will monitor the entire cultivation process daily.

Customers can choose from an array of different cannabis strains. All the customers will be provided with a live video where they can watch the growth of the plants from the first seeding till the final harvest. The entire growth cycle of a cannabis plant is approximately 8-10 weeks, drying time is between 7-13 days. After being harvested, the THC level within the weed needs to be adjusted to meet the legal criteria of the country where the customer resides, then customers can have their weed shipped directly to their home. Harvest result is usually between 20 and 35 gr. per plant. On site, the plants are taken care of by Cannabis Suisse's master growers that are also involved in manufacturing of all the other products.

The price of 120 CHF includes all these services. Cannabis Suisse clients get a clone, a nameplate, a weekly photo of the plant, a certificate of the plant owner, photos of their drying plate, and as a result flowerheads shipped from the farm in anonymous packages.

The product can be ordered from the special website of the Company and from selected resellers. Cannabis Suisse Corp. also plans to sell it via a network of kiosks where customers can buy a plastic card already containing login and password data for the website. The intention is to do it especially in those type of kiosks that identify themselves as tobacco shops. Buying a card, customers are always sure that there is free space available at the farm.

In connection with the expansion of its services, Cannabis Suisse Corp. announces many special offers for its customers. There is giving out of 10 plants only for the subscribing to the Company's newsletters. As well ordering three plants at once, a buyer will receive the fourth one as a gift. Cannabis Suisse Corp. also offers open days. On selected days, the growers will be happy to welcome their customers personally at the facility.

Your Cannabis Grow is a hassle-free way to grow your own weed, there are many benefits and saving money is not the only one. Growing own cannabis plant has never been easier if the plant is in the hands of Cannabis Suisse's master growers. Cannabis Suisse has a top tier indoor farm that has no contaminants, customers' plants will be cared the same way as the rest of the products and receive the optimal conditions to grow and flourish. Growing own hemp is tricky even if it is grown only during the summer when there is not any need for special equipment.

Your Cannabis Grow is a service for everyone, but savvy customers that are well-versed in the different kinds of strains and already know what they prefer for regular consumption are going to see this service as an essential one. For someone who is experimenting, looking for new flavors or maybe new to cannabis consumption, Your Cannabis Grow might not be a commitment that is worth taking just yet. However, once a client has found that special strain, Your Cannabis Grow is a certain way to make sure that the strain is always in stock and even cheaper than ready-made products.

At the moment, a customer can choose from 6 different cannabis strains that give different aroma, taste and experiences. They are V1, Harlequin, White Alpine, Limoncello, Orange Alpine, Strawberry. This a great selection at launch and is going to be expanded and improved in the future.

Growing medical marijuana is legal in some European countries, but in Switzerland it is allowed to grow and sell cannabis for recreational or commercial use. It makes Switzerland unique and gives some interesting benefits for companies such as Cannabis Suisse Corp. Cannabis Suisse is using this opportunity to create a new market while also benefiting customers with a chance to own a legal cannabis farm plant that definitely has more benefits than having one in a back yard.

Cannabis Suisse Corp. is a forward-looking company and understands that consistent quality, trust and community creates a strong brand. The Company creates innovate products that people need and want to buy. Your Cannabis Grow is a service that is hopefully going to create a community that will trust in Cannabis Suisse future products and believe them to be worth sharing and supporting.

The release of Your Cannabis Grow is a new step for Cannabis Suisse Corp., while being extremely beneficial to customers. The service requires a time investment, but the outcome and saving are definitely worth the waiting. The service will evolve in the future and could even become an industry standard.

New KoreTrak Device Is a Fitness Tracker and a Smartwatch in One

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / KoreTrak is a fitness tracking smartwatch that has recently been released across the globe. Although it's been out for only a short time, it has already attracted quite a bit of attention. As this KoreTrak smartwatch review will show, the product deserves every bit of praise it gets. It helps customers keep track of their exercise and reach their fitness goals.

What Is KoreTrak?
KoreTrak fitness tracker helps users live healthier, happier lives. It fits comfortably on the wrist, and it's sleek and subtle enough that customers can pair it up with any outfit. In fact, most KoreTrak reviews claim that it's a perfect watch to wear while running, swimming, taking a walk, or even sleeping.

Health and Fitness Tracker
KoreTrak smartwatch monitors important health parameters, such as heart rate, blood oxygen, and blood pressure. All stats are updated every 10 seconds and displayed on the screen at all times. Keeping track of them raises users' awareness of their own health and bodily functions.

And since this smartwatch's primary purpose is to promote a healthy lifestyle, it also comes with a fitness tracker. The fitness tracker allows users to set their daily goals and alerts them when they have reached them. There are three parameters the tracker monitors – the number of steps taken, calories burned, and the time spent doing a certain activity.

For instance, the user might choose to go running, swimming, and walking in a single day. With a few clicks, they can set the tracker to monitor their progress in each of these activities. Then, at the end of the day, they will get the results and see how well they performed.

Inactivity Alerts
KoreTrak fitness band doesn't let users get lazy – inactivity alerts are there to remind them to get up and be active. Since the alerts are customizable, consumers have full control over their rest and exercise periods. With just a few clicks, every user can decide how long they want to relax and when it's time to get moving again.

Sleep Pattern Analysis
A good night's sleep is essential both for physical and mental health – and KoreTrak understands this. That's why the smartwatch analyzes users' sleep patterns and gives them feedback and suggestions. Ultimately, the goal is to help each wearer feel well-rested and ready to seize the day. And according to some KoreTrak reviews, it delivers on this promise!

Compatible With Smartphones
KoreTrak fitness tracker also allows users to stay connected to their smartphones. All calls and message notifications will pop up on the smartwatch, so there's no need to worry about missing something important during a morning jog. And unlike a smartphone, KoreTrak conveniently fits on the wrist, and it's barely noticeable!

Waterproof
Good news for avid swimmers – KoreTrak smartwatch has an IP67 waterproof rating. That means that it can be submerged in a one-meter deep body of water for 30 minutes – just enough for a quick swim. For the same reason, there's no need to take it off in the shower either. Ultimately, users don't have to take the smartwatch off at all!

Sleek Design
According to KoreTrak reviews, the smartwatch looks great and feels even better. Its adjustable band hugs the wrist comfortably and doesn't press or irritate the skin. Black is the standard color – but there are several options to choose from. Thus, every customer can find something that suits their taste.

KoreTrak Facts and Specs

Color: Black, but there are customization options for the wristband

IP67 waterproof rating

Compatible with Android and Apple smartphones

Sleep and exercise trackers

No-fuss interface

How Does KoreTrak Work?
KoreTrak uses advanced biometric sensors to monitor and analyze the activity of the body and deliver real-time insights. But while the technology is quite complex, the device itself is rather easy to use. In fact, even someone who isn't experienced with smartwatches won't have any problems operating KoreTrak.

All its functions are clearly displayed on the interface and easy to access. Aside from the health and fitness stats, users can check the time and date, see the weather and temperature, and access built-in fitness apps. In these apps, they can set their daily or weekly goals, and see a detailed overview of their activity.

And connecting to a smartphone is just as simple – all one has to do is use Bluetooth. KoreTrak can store data up to a week on its own, but the two devices will synchronize as soon as they are in Bluetooth range.

KoreTrak Pros and Cons

Pros

– User-friendly and easy to operate

– Can withstand one-meter deep water for 30 minutes

– Compatible with Android and iOS

– Simultaneously a fitness tracker, health monitor, sleep pattern analyzer, and smartwatch

– Modern design and several customization options

– Comfortable on the wrist

– Alerts the user when it's time to start working out and promotes a healthy lifestyle

Cons

– Available only online

– Limited availability

– The inactivity alert may get annoying, especially if you don't walk around

Final Verdict
Most KoreTrak reviews agree that the fitness band is worth buying. In these busy times, it's easy to forget about health and fitness, but KoreTrak regularly reminds users to take care of themselves. Its advanced biometric sensors keep track of customers' well-being and exercise, making sure they reach their goals and stay in the right mindset.

Finding such a quality product for a low price is quite a miracle, so there's no doubt that every customer will be satisfied. Still, if they aren't, or if they have any issues with it, they can return it within 30 days for a full refund. Ultimately, there is no reason not to give KoreTrak a try.

DESTIN, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Florida based Beachworx is pleased to announce that it has been tapped to join Startup Okaloosa, the virtual incubator launched by the Economic Development Council (EDC) of Okaloosa County. Based in Destin, Florida Beachworx provides coworking space primarily to local businesses as well as visitors to the area requiring a professional environment to conduct mission-critical work while traveling.

The company offers innovative and practical office space, ranging from private offices and coworking/shared offices, to conference rooms for many local businesses, and they proudly assert that many would find it worth becoming a member today. The office spaces are state-of-the-art and are well equipped to handle even social distancing requirements.

Beachworx always aims to provide the best service to their clientele. As a forum for networking, mentorship is a key component to Beachworx members successes and is another reason that the company was asked to join Startup Okaloosa. The Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County created this new, on-line resource in order to assist aspiring entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners.

This virtual incubator takes the form of an information portal, and the site links to traditional and non-traditional funding partners, key advisory organizations, real estate options (including local coworking spaces), and educational resources. “Incubators are a means to success for today’s entrepreneurs; they help create and retain jobs,” says EDC President Larry Sassano.

Beachworx strengthens this endeavor by providing coworking and office spaces in concert with an array of business services in order to further develop local businesses that are in their developmental and trial stages. To find out more about Beachworx, anyone can view the Facebook page.

For instance, William Blanken states in a 5-Star Google review that they, “Have been utilizing Beachworx for a couple of years now. The office space is exactly what I need for my business. Professional space for getting the job done. The staff and fellow businesses are a pleasure.” The company boasts many more 5-Star ratings of this nature as well, many of which can be found on their Google page.

As the community’s lead economic development organization, the EDC is committed to building economic diversification through innovative strategies and initiatives. Executive Director of the EDC Nathan Sparks notes, “With 66% of our businesses having between one and four employees, entrepreneurs and small business owners are truly the backbone of our local economy. We felt it important – especially in light of the economic downturn we’ve experienced as a result of COVID-19 – to develop a resource to aid individuals who are either beginning or restarting their entrepreneurial journey.”

EDC FY 2020 Chair Katie Sharon adds to this, stating that, “We intend for Startup Okaloosa to be a community resource, not just another EDC program. To that end, the site will feature relevant content from our partners. We encourage organizations like the Chambers of Commerce and the SBDC to share items they feel will provide value to the startups and small businesses we are seeking to serve.”

Business incubators are programs designed to facilitate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through various business support resources and services offered both within the incubator and through its network of contacts. Beachworx is now featured on the Startup Okaloosa website and is ready to provide the local community with an invaluable resource.

Steven Franco, founder of Beachworx, first identified a need for short term coworking space and private offices for individuals, small businesses, and corporations some time ago. His vision was to establish a cutting-edge workplace, innovative, and always adapting, to provide the very best office environment.

SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Dear Ellen K., I, Leo Robin's grandson, sent you an open letter on July 14, 2020 via FedEx, almost a month ago, but assume that you never received it since I haven't heard back from you. I am enclosing it once more so you will better understand the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the long-standing mistake made by the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than 30 years ago. The 1990 Walk of Fame Committee awarded a star to lyricist Leo Robin and then the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and subsequent Walk of Fame Committees would take it back. These actions over the years that resulted in the failure to install the star awarded to Robin are manifest of a moral wrong.

To borrow the lyrics from the song "Faithful Forever," composed by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by Leo Robin, introduced in the 1939 animated film Gulliver's Travels, which was recorded by many jazz artists such as vocalists Mildred Bailey and Perry Como and the orchestras in their heyday including Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman and Guy Lombardo: "Faithful forever I promise to be" certain that the Hollywood Chamber finally installs the star awarded to Leo Robin for all the visitors of the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see.

Scene from the animated film Gulliver's Travels with the song "Faithful Forever,"
composed by Ralph Rainger with lyrics by Leo Robin, sung by Jessica Dragonette, Lanny Ross and chorus in 1939

Each year, Leo Robin Music awaits with great interest the release of the annual announcement by the Hollywood Chamber of the new class of honorees to have their stars unveiled and installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see if the star awarded to lyricist Leo Robin more than 30 years ago but never installed finally appears on this list. For Leo Robin, this annual ritual is known as "Pass Over." I am outraged by the Hollywood Chamber's recent announcement to once again "Pass Over" the installation of the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that was awarded to Robin more than 30 years ago.

In a Facebook live session on Thursday, June 18, you as chair of the Walk of Fame's Selection Panel, announced the honorees from the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2021. "The Walk of Fame Selection Panel is pleased to announce 35 new honorees to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Selection Panel, made up of fellow Walk of Famers, hand-picks a group of honorees each year that represent various genres of the entertainment world," said Ellen K. "The Panel has done an exemplary job in choosing very talented people. We can't wait to see each and every honoree's face as they realize that they are becoming a part of Hollywood's history as we unveil their star on the world's most famous walkway!", Ellen K added.

The "Pass Over" of Robin by the Hollywood Chamber and Walk of Fame Committee on the list of honorees to have their stars installed and unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a moral wrong. Ellen K., you have a perfect pitch voice on your morning radio program on KOST 103.5 FM. as well as the voice of the Grammy Awards and the Academy Awards. The recent announcement by you would be tantamount to announcing a winner at the Grammy Awards or at the Academy Awards and then not giving the winner a Grammy or an Oscar to take home.

Can you imagine if multi-Grammy winner Tony Bennett winning the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in 1997 for his album Here's to the Ladies — which theme of the album was songs made famous by female singers and included "My Ideal" with lyrics by Robin to pay tribute to Margaret Whiting for performing her theme song — but not being given the Grammy to take home or multi-Oscar winner Robert De Niro winning for Best Actor the Oscar in 1980 for the film Raging Bull — which used a few songs with lyrics by Robin including "Prisoner of Love" performed by Perry Como (1946), "Prisoner of Love" performed by Russ Columbo (1934) and "Bye, Bye Baby" performed by Marilyn Monroe (1953) — but not being given the Oscar to take home.

In the wake of the release of the story Leo Robin never got his Walk of Fame star. Now his grandson is fighting for it, which first broke on May 23, 2019 by Ashley Lee from the Los Angeles Times, we learned what happened 30 years ago. Ms. Lee reported, "The envelope was returned to its sender and has since remained in the Chamber of Commerce's records." She also tweeted, "at first I didn't believe that Leo Robin's star had really slipped through the cracks" with a photo of that acceptance letter and the envelope stamped "RETURN TO SENDER." Ms. Lee explained the Chamber's view, "A mistake it was not, noted (Ana) Martinez to The Times. Back in 1989, before the ease of email and cell phones, honorees were not as repeatedly and actively pursued to secure their star as they are today. That means no follow-up letters and no calls to co-signers, even if Robin's application was co-signed by (Bob) Hope, who has four stars on the Walk."

What happened 30 years ago — when the acceptance letter was returned to sender and there was no follow-up letters and no calls to notify co-sponsor Bob Hope — is wrong as wrong can be. Throughout the past sixty years, the Chamber has successfully kept track of 2,690 honorees and has seen to it that each and every one of them received a star and had it successfully installed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with their name on it — except for the "Passover" of Robin. At this point, one can't help but conclude that Robin, his sponsors, his family and the 1990 Walk of Fame Committee, itself, have been treated unjustly by the Hollywood Chamber and the Walk Of Fame Committee chaired by you.

The failure of the Hollywood Chamber to install the star awarded to Robin is hard to fathom but remember that my grandmother who was the sponsor passed away before receiving notification and that the co-sponsor, actor Bob Hope, was never notified. It is high time for the Hollywood Chamber and the 2020 Walk of Fame Committee to preserve their integrity and honor the decision of the 1990 Walk of Fame Committee and its obligation to put Leo's long-lost star in its rightful place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It is my hope that you, as Chair of the Walk of Fame Committee, will take the necessary steps to correct this moral wrong and award my grandfather, the legendary songwriter, Leo Robin, his long-overdue star.

I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. As difficult as these extraordinary times are, I am hopeful about the power of music to inspire action, to heal and lift us up, and to liberate our minds and hearts. I remember Bob Hope in his eulogy of my beloved grandfather on January 2, 1985, when he said, "His lyrics struck such a positive note…such hopeful themes…The feelings of joy he conveyed will lift hearts for generations to come. And if you don't believe that, just hum the lyrics of "Beyond the Blue Horizon" a few times. I guarantee you'll never have to visit an analyst." Be inspired with this sample, "Blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me."

In Leo Robin's lyrics from Gulliver's Travels -1939,

"Faithful Forever," Leo Robin Music

VANCOUVER / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM)(NYSE American:NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") reports that its 100%-owned US-based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership ("Pebble Partnership") has written a letter to the Inspectors General ("IG") of the U.S. Army, the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE"), joining the call for a review of the USACE's management of the Pebble Project Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS").

The Pebble Partnership's call for an IG review echoes that of the US Congress House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which issued a letter to the Inspectors General on August 10, 2020 (see https://oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/CBM%20Rouda%20Speier%20to%20DOD%20USACE%20IG%20re%20Pebble%20Mine.pdf), but for very different reasons.

"Environmental activists and opponents of the Pebble Project have made baseless and unfounded claims about political interference in the Pebble EIS process, and of regulatory malfeasance by the professional staff of the USACE for months," Northern Dynasty President & CEO Ron Thiessen said. "But now we have a Committee of US Congress repeating those allegations and asking that they be reviewed by an objective, third-party arbiter.

"Not only do we welcome the kind of independent scrutiny and professional judgment an Inspector General review would bring to the Pebble permitting process, we jumped at the opportunity to add our voice to those in US Congress. I say ‘bring it on' – we have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose."

The Pebble Partnership released a statement to formally announce its support for an IG review of the USACE's conduct in managing the Pebble EIS:

"'The work of the USACE on Pebble has been under assault since day one and it is time for this mischaracterization of their integrity to end. The best way to accomplish this is to have the USACE work on the Pebble Project reviewed by the Inspector General. We are confident the IG will find the allegations raised against the USACE to be completely baseless,' said Pebble CEO Tom Collier.

"From the letter to the IG, the Pebble Partnership said it has responded consistently that:

the Pebble EIS fully meets NEPA standards for scientific review of major development projects in the United States – in terms of process, scope and level of detail;
the duration of the USACE's NEPA review of the Pebble Project falls within a typical range for EIS processes undertaken for resource projects in Alaska and elsewhere in the U.S.;
the permit application submitted to the USACE in December 2017 to initiate a federal NEPA review of the Pebble Project was accepted in January 2018 because it met all statutory requirements;
the USACE has fully and appropriately recorded, addressed and responded to comments and concerns raised by cooperating agencies and stakeholders over the course of the Pebble EIS; and,
EPA's June 2019 action to withdraw its former Proposed Determination was undertaken to restore the proper statutory process for the Pebble EIS, not to provide any political benefit to Alaska or Pebble.

"'We have been clear and consistent on these points for many months. Notwithstanding that these allegations are without any merit, they continue to be made by project opponents and repeated by Congressmen who have not taken the necessary time to conduct their own due diligence before they echo false claims. We absolutely welcome an IG review in order to drive the final stake into these falsehoods,' said Collier.

"'Am I a little fired up about this? You bet. The staff at the USACE are among the hardest working regulators with the most integrity among the federal agencies and the misguided attacks upon their process are completely unfounded.'

"A federal Record of Decision ("ROD") for the Pebble Project is expected soon and while the Pebble Partnership fully supports a comprehensive, expedited review of the USACE's management of the Pebble EIS, as well as into EPA's decision to withdraw its former Proposed Determination, the company sees no reason why this process should delay issuance of a ROD.

"'The Pebble Project has potential to become one of the most significant, long-life producers of copper and other strategic metals required to facilitate America's transition to a low-carbon future that our country has ever seen. To the degree a review by the USACE Inspector General can help build public trust in our project and the country's statutory permitting processes, it will have struck a meaningful blow for America's mineral independence and efforts to build the green economy of the future,' said Collier.

"The actual start of construction at Pebble is years away as the Pebble Partnership must still file for state permits and complete the state permitting process."

Forward Looking Information and other Cautionary Factors

This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, that address exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in its forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of the ultimate size, quality or commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project, that the Pebble Project will secure all required government permits, or of the Company's future performance.

Assumptions used by NDM to develop forward-looking statements include the assumptions that (i) the Pebble Project will obtain all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses without undue delay, (ii) studies for the development of the Pebble Project will be positive, (iii) NDM will be able to establish the commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project, and (iv) NDM will be able to secure the financing required to develop the Pebble Project. The likelihood of future mining at the Pebble Project is subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal objectives, including (i) obtaining necessary mining and construction permits, licenses and approvals without undue delay, including without delay due to third party opposition or changes in government policies, (ii) the completion of feasibility studies demonstrating the Pebble Project mineral reserves that can be economically mined, (iii) completion of all necessary engineering for mining and processing facilities, and (iv) receipt by NDM of significant additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction, which financing may not be available to NDM on acceptable terms or on any terms at all. The Company is also subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions, as well as risks relating to the uncertainties with respect to the effects of COVID-19.

The National Environment Policy Act EIS process requires a comprehensive "alternatives assessment" be undertaken to consider a broad range of development alternatives, the final project design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project and associated infrastructure may vary significantly from that currently being advanced. As a result, the Company will continue to consider various development options and no final project design has been selected at this time.

For more information on the Company, Investors should review the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and its home jurisdiction filings that are available at www.sedar.com
