No Cow Introduces First-Ever Energy Bar Made with Just 1 Gram Of Sugar + Patented Caffeine

Game-Changing Innovation Provides Sustainable Energy Without the Crash. The fast-growing, active nutrition start-up debuts latest innovation, following a partnership with General Mills.

DENVER, Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — No Cow, the overwhelmingly successful Denver-based brand of dairy free, high-protein bars with just 1g of sugar, today, unveils its latest first-to-market innovation – the No Cow Energy Bars.

Unlike other Energy Bars on the market that can have as much as 20g of sugar per bar, No Cow skipped the sugar (just 1g) and, in its place, added 45mg of Coffee Bean Flour, an innovative, patented caffeine source that provides a sustainable energy that is the equivalent of a ½ cup of coffee.

No Cow Energy Bars give you the energy burst, without the crash.

No Cow Energy Bars are packed with real ingredients like oats, nuts, and almond butters and continue the company’s mission of making ready-to-eat dairy free, high protein (12g of protein per serving), low sugar products. The energy bars are gluten-free, soy-free & non-GMO, like all other No Cow products.

Daniel “D” Katz, 22-year-old No Cow founder and 2019 Forbes 30 under 30 winner, launched the company in 2015 after developing a dairy sensitivity, a problem plaguing a significant portion of the worldwide population. As a health nut, he was on the hunt for a dairy free protein bar that was low in sugar – and came up empty-handed. His personal need for quality nutrition led to the creation of The No Cow Bar.

In February 2017, General Mills invested in the brand and over the last two years, the company has grown double-digits monthly.

Commenting on No Cow Energy Bars, Katz shares: “I wanted to create an energy bar that wasn’t just another candy bar in disguise. The No Cow Energy bar has 45mg of caffeine to give you seriously sustained energy without all that sugar.”

For more information on the No Cow Energy Bar, visit nocow.com/energybar and follow us on Instagram at @NoCow and #RealGoodEnergy.

ABOUT: No Cow was created by then 18-year old Daniel Katz in 2015 as part of his mission to redefine high-protein, low-sugar, dairy-free foods to fuel an active lifestyle. Made with simple ingredients like brown rice and pea proteins, No Cow Bars are vegan, non-GMO, have just 1 gram of sugar and are free of gluten, dairy, lactose and soy. No Cow products are available at over 15,000 retail locations nationwide. To learn more, please visit www.NoCow.com

Organic Certification of "Probiotics" For Agriculture Use Approved

OMRI Approves Organic Formulation of Customized Rhizolizer™ Treatments from Locus Agricultural Solutions™

Using fresh, customizable “probiotic” treatments to increase crop productivity from the ground up has quickly become a primary strategy for growers across the country—and the trend is now expanding into organic agriculture. Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) recently approved an organic formulation of Rhizolizer™, a line of non-GMO microbial soil amendments that has proven to be highly successful in increasing yields and reducing time to harvest. The unique treatments, which were developed by Locus Agricultural Solutions™, LLC (Locus AG), have drastically improved the vitality of more than 40,000 acres of crops, leading to demand for organic offerings.

A 2016 USDA survey reported that there are more than 14,100 organic farms in the U.S., which sold upwards of $7.6 billion in certified organic commodities. Market Watch anticipates the organic food & beverage market to continue growing at a 14.8% CAGR through 2022, creating a need for solutions that improve crop productivity to meet market demand. Rhizolizer’s unique production and delivery methods, coupled with rapid success in conventional agriculture, have made the product line a top choice for organic adoption.

Rhizolizer’s high-density, low-use-rate formulations can be customized to address regional and crop-specific challenges. The treatments, which are up to 1000x the density of other offerings, are sent directly to growers via unique, refrigerated delivery for ultimate freshness. These advantages are driving exceptional improvements in crop productivity and profits for growers.

“‘Probiotic’-based agriculture products have proven to be extremely powerful tools for addressing soil health and crop vitality challenges—especially when delivered through our unique cold chain as high-potency, fresh products—and we believe that every grower should have access to their benefits,” said Dr. Paul Zorner, CEO of Locus AG. “OMRI’s certification of Rhizolizer will allow us to move forward in making sure organic farms nation-wide can benefit from the use of highly-effective, customized treatments—and partake in a trend that’s caught the attention of several sectors of the industry.”

Growers using the tailored “probiotic” treatment program are seeing double-digit yield increases along with significant improvements in fibrous root mass (up to 82%), reductions in time to harvest and overall enhanced crop vitality. The productivity benefits have caused rapid expansion in Rhizolizer adoption. Current trials, along with OMRI certification, provide the foundation for expanding these benefits to organic agriculture.

Commercialization of the new Rhizolizer formulations, which OMRI has approved to be used in compliance with the USDA National Organic Program, is currently underway. Additional organic certifications specific to California are also in progress. For more information on Locus AG’s unique fermentation technology and cold-chain delivery, or for results and availability of the Rhizolizer soil amendments, visit LocusAG.com.

NEVER Network Again: The Art of Un- Networking

NEVER Network Again: The Art of Un- Networking

—by Karen Donaldson

Networking is dead. It doesn’t work. The days of firehosing and spitting out every single detail, award and certification in 30 seconds or less are over. If you think this type of networking works, if you are stilling doing it – stop! Immediately. The bottom line: no one cares that much about you, well, besides you and your parents.

According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of networking is:

1: the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions specifically: the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business

We are moving away from the first point of a straight exchange of information (un-networking) and focusing on the second part: cultivation of productive relationships.  It’s about connecting. I call it the ABC’s: Always Be Connecting. Not Always Be Closing with your 30-second elevator pitch.

If you’re going into a networking setting with a mindset to quickly get through as many people as possible and get as many cards as possible, then you’ll attract the exact same people to you. They’ll be trying to go through the numbers just as fast or even faster than you. It almost feels like a competition.

When you collect lots of cards, at the end of night do you really remember each person who gave it to you? What is your follow-up with each person? Nine times out of ten, nothing meaningful ‪happens from the connection. Sounds familiar? (Where is your deck of business cards and are they just gathering dust?).

In a networking setting, you need to stop being the giver. What I mean by that is stop trying to give your pitch to everyone in the room. Focus on being a receiver and a relationship builder. Genuinely ask about the other person and their business, the type of clients they are looking for and how you can help. Choose to stand out from the typical: my name is … I do x-y-z verbal diarrhoea.

The goal of “un-networking” is to meet people in a genuine way, be your unique self, build rapport and get permission to connect with them outside of the networking session.

Who you are “being” is exactly who you will attract. Be the person you would hire, be the person you would love to send referrals to, be the person you would welcome the opportunity to work with.

Let me set the stage for you: If you had a company ‪ in which you were the CEO, and you were hiring for the role of COO, what would you expect and want from that person. Make a list of those attitudes, attributes, personality traits and skill ‪sets.

Now ask yourself:   Are you that person?

Because…if you wouldn’t work with, refer or hire YOU, neither will anyone else.

Here are the 3 steps that you can take to un-network:

  1. Go in with a plan. A plan that consists of connecting with a handful of people instead of everyone. It’s easy to remember someone who engaged you in a meaningful conversation opposed to remembering your 15th shallow conversation.
  2. Ask open-ended questions instead of closed ones. Open-ended questions allow for deeper answers with more detail.
  3. Only take the other person’s card if you’re going to use it. When I say use it, I mean use it for yourself or to give it to someone else to forward as a referral.

Now the ball is in your court, it’s time to use what I’ve shared and master the art of un-networking.

Infuse Your Life Health Products

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Infuse Your Life Health Products, Inc. will bring its two unique cardiovascular products to Amazon soon.

The Canadian health company, which recently announced it was breaking into the American health supplement industry, has created two liquid-based products to promote cardiovascular health. G-Cubed: Plant-Based Support and Soul: Cardiovascular Sparkling Water.

Cardiovascular disease and diabetes have a harmful symbiotic relationship. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States whereas the American Diabetes Association said more than 30 million Americans had diabetes in 2015. Heart disease and strokes are the most common causes of death for diabetic adults. This is why both Infuse Your Life Health Products target the heart and healthy blood sugar levels.

G-Cubed: Plant-Based Support, which contains no preservatives or artificial sweeteners, helps boost cardiovascular and cell health performance, maintain healthy glucose levels and promote healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

Soul: Cardiovascular Sparkling Water boosts cardiovascular and cell health performance, fights diabetes by reinforcing healthy glucose levels and promotes healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

“G-Cubed and Soul are very popular heart-healthy products in Canada,” said Thomas Lasic, founder and president of Infuse Your Life Health Products, Inc. “As a company, we really want to focus on heart-healthy products and these two products do just that.”

A grassroots company from British Columbia, Canada, Infuse Your Life Health Products Inc. saw a market flooded with products with misleading labels and decided to focus on minimizing the number of ingredients in its formulas to really focus on purity, quality and transparency for the good of the consumer.

“There is no more important human organ than the heart,” Lasic said. “With G-Cubed and Soul, our consumers can enjoy the benefits of a healthy heart.”

Johnson & Johnson Vision Announces Health Canada Gives Medical Device License ACUVUE OASYS Lenses

Johnson & Johnson Vision today announced ACUVUE OASYS with Transitions was issued a medical device license by Health Canada. ACUVUE OASYS with Transitions Light Intelligent Technology is a first-of-its-kind contact lens in Canada that offers benefits beyond vision correction by reducing exposure to bright light both indoors and outdoors.1,4 These lenses are indicated for the attenuation of bright light.

These contact lenses function by quickly and seamlessly adjusting from clear to dark in response to changing light conditions, balancing the amount of light entering the eye including filtering blue light and blocking harmful UV rays. ACUVUE OASYS with Transitions has created and defined an entirely new category of contact lenses that will help address unmet needs for patients.

A range of everyday lighting situations, from artificial light to UV rays, can impact eye comfort and vision.7,8,9ACUVUE OASYS with Transitions actively adapts to light conditions encountered throughout the day to balance the amount of light hitting the eye, and helps eyes adjust to changing light better than they would on their own.3,4

This strategic partnership between Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. and Transitions Optical combines the respective strengths of each company. While ACUVUE is the world leader in contact lenses, Transitions Optical is the leading provider of photochromic (smart adaptive) lenses worldwide. Both companies are working to research and deliver best-in-class vision care innovations.

This regulatory milestone is an important step toward achieving Johnson & Johnson’s vision of helping people see better, connect better, and live better. The two-week reusable contact lens will be commercially available in the first half of 2019. —CNW

CAMH and HBC Foundation to promote mental health awareness for young Canadians

CAMH and HBC Foundation’s $1.25 million ‘Game Changers’ mental health program will reach youth across the country over the next three years 

TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2018, CNW – The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and HBC Foundation, the charitable arm of Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) are pleased to announce a joint collaboration on a national mental health awareness program for young Canadians. The HBC Foundation, as part of its ongoing commitment, to support mental health, granted $1.25 million to CAMH in support of the Game Changers program over the next three years.

Developed by Canada’s leading mental health hospital, Game Changers is a mental health program designed to help young Canadians feel more comfortable talking about mental health, seeking help for themselves, or supporting friends in need.

Game Changers will aim to reach students across Canada with the help of former NHL goalie, Olympian and mental health advocate Corey Hirsch, who will raise awareness in high schools, clubs and sports associations. Hirsh has spoken openly about his experience with mental illness and believes that early intervention is critical to preventing mental illness in adults.

“We want to meet young people where they are,” said Hirsch, who has spoken out about his own history of mental illness. “I know from personal experience that the right conversation at the right time can make all the difference. We don’t pretend to know all the answers, but with this program we can help young people ask the right questions.”

Game Changers features an interactive digital hub that includes:

  • A conversation starter guide, adapted for youth who want to open a dialogue about mental health
  • A self-care toolkit
  • A resource guide designed to help young Canadians and their parents identify early signs of mental illness and seek help for themselves, friends and loved ones
  • An online evaluation form to collect feedback from youth.

“Helping raise mental health awareness for Canadians of all ages is one of HBC Foundation’s core priorities,” said Alison Coville, President, Hudson’s Bay. “We are proud to support CAMH and the Game Changers program with a $1.25 milliongrant that will help us positively impact the mental wellness of Canadian youth.”

While the teen years have always been a vulnerable period for mental health challenges, CAMH research has found that self-reported levels of psychological distress have spiked in recent years to record levels among girls and boys. Despite these rising numbers, almost one in three students say they have wanted to talk about their own mental health concerns, but did not know where to turn.

“The support of the HBC Foundation means that more young Canadians will learn how they can support their own wellness and resilience”, said CAMH Foundation CEO Deborah Gillis. “We’re so grateful for HBC’s commitment to this very important program.”

Aurora Cannabis Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2019

260% Revenue Growth to $29.7 Million – Pro-Forma Revenues up 333% to $35.8 Million. Strong Adult Consumer Roll-out and Continued Production Scale-Up.

EDMONTON, Nov. 12, 2018 /CNW/ – Aurora Cannabis Inc. (“Aurora” or the “Company”) (TSX | NYSE: ACB) (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM), announced today its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Q1 2019 Financial and Operational Highlights 

Commencement of Sales to Canadian Adult Consumer Use Market
On October 17, 2018, sales of cannabis for adult consumer use in Canada, legalized through Bill C45, commenced. Aurora recorded a strong performance, ranking top or among the top-selling products and brands in many of the provinces the Company committed to supplying, for the first two weeks to October 31, 2018.

Provincial Highlights (for the period up to October 31, 2018):

  • ON (Source: Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) website)
    • Aurora brands accounted for approximately 30% of the total market supplied through the OCS
    • San Rafael was the top-selling brand in ON with Aurora supplying two of the three top-selling products
  • BC (Source BC government website – data current as of Nov 2nd)
    • Top 4 best-selling dried flower products in BC
    • 2 of top 5 and 3 of top 8 best-selling oil and capsule products in BC
  • PEI (Source: PEI government sales report – data current as of Nov 2)
    • Aurora and MedReleaf are 2 of the 6 top best-selling LPs in the province
    • 2nd largest for overall revenue
  • More than 450 unique SKUs launched across Canada

Q1 2019 Highlights:

  • Revenue of $29,674, up 260% compared to the same period in 2018.
    • Pro-forma Q1 2019 revenue of $35,752, including MedReleaf (consolidated as of July 25, 2018), Anandia (consolidated as of August 8, 2018) and Agropro (consolidated as of September 10, 2018)
  • Gross margin on cannabis of 70%, up 12% points compared to the first quarter of 2018, and down slightly by 4% points compared to Q4 2018. The increase versus Q1 2018 was primarily due to a higher average selling price per gram of dried cannabis, coupled with a higher proportion of cannabis oil sales in the Company’s sales mix ratio. The slight decrease from Q4 2018 was due to higher average packaging costs related to the inclusion of MedReleaf’s relatively higher packaging costs and an overall increase in packaging costs due to the stringent regulatory requirements of the Cannabis Act.
  • Cash cost of sales decreased by 12.0% compared to Q1 2018 and increased slightly by 1.6% compared to Q4 2018. Cash cost to produce per gram of dried cannabis sold decreased by 22.5% compared to Q1 2018 and fell by 14.7% compared to Q4 2018. This decrease was primarily due to more efficient production processes rapidly implemented post-acquisition at the Company’s subsidiary CanniMed.
  • Active registered medical patients of 67,484, up 250% compared to the first quarter of 2018.
  • Kilograms produced and kilograms sold of 4,996 and 2,676, up 395% and 201%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2018.
  • 8 facilities with production licenses, 6 facilities with sales licenses, including Aurora Sky.
  • Introduced Aurora Cloud, making Aurora the first and, to the company’s knowledge, only LP supplying a vape-ready CBD oil cartridge to the market.

Management Commentary

“We continue to successfully execute our differentiated and diversified strategy committed towards domestic and international expansion in the medical cannabis market, adult consumer use sales, production scale-up, innovation, plant and medical research, and product development,” said Terry Booth, CEO of Aurora. “The commencement of adult consumer use sales in Canada has been very successful for Aurora, with strong performance across all product categories and brands. Our initial roll-out success demonstrates how our high-quality Aurora Standard products and well-positioned brands have resonated strongly with the consumer market and our preparedness for the logistical challenges in effectively bringing our products to market.  Given the strong unmet consumer demand evident across Canada, we are confident that our rapidly increasing production capacity will result in continued acceleration of revenue growth.”

Mr. Booth added, “We also continue to perform well in our international medical business. With the acquisition of ICC Labs, which we expect to close in the coming weeks, we are establishing leadership in Latin America. In addition to ongoing international growth and expansion led by our team at Aurora Europe, we were also the first non-government organization to export medical cannabis to Poland, a medical market with a population roughly equal to Canada. Across our international activities, we have established significant early mover advantage and market leadership.  With the scale-up of our domestic and international production facilities, we anticipate increased availability of product to service these developing markets which will drive further global growth for the Company.”

Glen Ibbott, CFO, added, “In Q1 2019, we continued to propel Aurora’s growth making critical investments in our corporate, sales, and marketing talent and capabilities. A significant portion of our Q1 2019 marketing spend was in preparation for the adult consumer use market with numerous branding and market awareness initiatives. With more restrictive marketing regulations in effect as of October 17th, we will see a significant reduction in average marketing spend over the remainder of the fiscal year.  We also anticipate a reduction in other one-off expenditures, such as the integration costs related to the MedReleaf, CanniMed, and Anandia acquisitions.”

Mr. Booth concluded, “As a science, medical and patient focused organization, we are committed to continue serving our patients with the products they require. As we built up inventory levels in anticipation of the adult consumer use market, we prioritized product availability for our over 67,000 existing patients. With production ramping up, we anticipate once again pro-actively driving additional growth in this core medical segment, both domestically and internationally.”
