Latitude 360 (LATX) Adds the Intrigue of Fantasy Sports to its Smorgasbord of Entertainment Delights

Latitude 360 (OTC: LATX) is surfing the wave of an industry that, according to a recent study, is growing at over 16% per annum and has been maintaining that rate over the past five years. The company is an award-winning, full-service upscale restaurant and leisure emporium that plans, develops, constructs and operates premier entertainment venues. At present it operates three such locations. The first was opened in January 2011 in Jacksonville, Florida; the second in November 2012 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the third in Indianapolis in January 2013. The company plans to open three more locations. The first of these is slated for Syracuse at Destiny USA, the largest shopping center in the state of New York.

Latitude 360’s menu of entertainment options at its three locations includes a main restaurant (360 Grille & Bar), a luxury bowling alley (The Lanes), a dine-in movie theater (Cinegrille), a game room offering the latest hi-tech video and redemption games, a theater for live performances (Latitude Live), a sports theater with multiple HD screens, a luxury smoking lounge (Latitude Lit), and a dance arena (Axis Bar & Stage).

Latitude 360 is promoting a seminal idea. It aims to redefine the modern American entertainment experience by altering the mix and variety of entertainment options available at one venue. Latitude 360 is the Disneyland for adults. The company’s strategy is to create a one-stop entertainment shop where dining facilities, the movies, bowling, gaming, live entertainment or a sports bar can be found. The company recently launched its latest product offering, 360 Fantasy Live, in the highly lucrative fantasy sports market.

Fantasy sports allow sports fans to bet on the performance of their favorite players. Fantasy sports are fast becoming the sports fan’s stock market, since every fan that knows and loves his football can now put his knowledge to the test. The Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) reports that, currently, there are close to 57 million players of fantasy sports in the U.S. and Canada, each of whom spends, on average, $465 per year. That amounts to roughly $26.5 billion. The customer base for fantasy sports, according to the FSTA, has been growing at an annual compounded rate (CAGR), from 2010 to 2015, of over 12%. The typical fantasy sports player is male, around 37, and college educated, and about half earn more than $75,000. The industry has yet to realize its potential. It is now moving into sports other than football.

It’s Old Heads on Young Shoulders at Legacy Ventures International, Inc. (LGYV)

An enduring expression tells us ‘you can’t put an old head on young shoulders’, meaning we shouldn’t expect someone young to have the wisdom and maturity associated with older folk, but Legacy Ventures International, Inc. (OTC: LGYV) has turned that time-honored saying on its head. The company, indeed, has young shoulders. It was incorporated in Nevada on March 4, 2014, but its management team is full of experience in start-ups, business development, branding, distribution, retail sales and strategic planning. Legacy Ventures is focused on the acquisition of proven and high-potential businesses across a variety of business sectors. Through the strategic provision of capital and oversight to companies that have innovative products, category game changers and established fast growth brands, Legacy Ventures aims not only to add shareholder value, but to make the world a better place to live.

A good example is its first major acquisition, RM Fresh Brands, which holds the rights to distribute Boxed Water in Canada. Boxed Water is a trendy new product that is expected to have an enthusiastic response from green consumers: those who prefer products that have been produced in a way that protects the natural environment. Boxed Water is environmentally friendly. It is packaged in a biodegradable carton that is 76% paper and has less than half the carbon footprint of the now ubiquitous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle.

Evan Clifford is CEO at Legacy Ventures. Over the last 15 years he has had his fingers in many pies. He has, at one time, managed the careers of singer and songwriter Danny Fernandes, as well as Alicia Josipovic, who played Bianca DeSousa in the Canadian TV series Degrassi.

He co-founded Just Sushi, the world’s first 100% sustainable Ocean Wise sushi restaurant, and he was a partner in Cirqus Nightclub, which garnered acclaim as one of the hottest nightclubs and patios in the west end of the Greater Toronto Area. Clifford loves disruptive game-changing technologies. He was an investor in the Zenn Motor Company, a Canadian company that previously developed electric vehicles. ZENN is an acronym for Zero Emissions No Noise. He has been a speaker at the Idea City Conference, which is a sort of North American Davos for artists, authors, cosmologists, designers, entertainers, filmmakers, inventors, musicians, scientists and technologists. He was owner and Creative Director at Toy Box Events, ‘Where Imagination Comes to Life‘. He also served as a director at Golden Cross Resources, which engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in Canada.

Matthew Merson is a director at Legacy Ventures. Merson has spent the last 25 years in senior executive positions at Dannon Yogurt, Sara Lee, Glaceau Vitaminwater, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), and ZICO Beverages. He is currently the vice president of sales at Boxed Water is Better, LLC. For the last decade. Merson has specialized in the start up space for emerging brands that are disrupting the norm or creating entirely new categories. He thrives on building teams that can bring brands to life across all channels of sales, and he has expertise in all functional business areas – including operations, finance, marketing, human resources and international sales.

Mirwan Ferris is the brand broker at Legacy. Ferris, along with his brother Ameen, built the very successful retail chain Healthy’s Nutrition, which they later sold to Planet Organic Health Corp. Ferris then purchased Excel Marketing, later re-named Ex-L Brand Management, which represented and distributed ZICO Coconut Water, Hugo Naturals and many other popular brands. In 2011, he sold Ex-L Brand Management, and started a new brokerage firm, Ferris Brand Management. Ferris has experience in the Canadian retail market and the knowledge and skills to effectively navigate its distribution network.

Ron Patel is president of Legacy’s subsidiary, RM Fresh Brands, which markets Boxed Water. Patel has extensive experience in third party logistics and procurement. Over the years, he has been involved in the sourcing of over 10,000 different products for some of the largest U.S. and Canadian Military Prime Vendors. His focus has been in worldwide sourcing capabilities, purchasing and consolidation. In the last few years, Patel has been working with the Canadian and U.S. product landscapes and has developed alliances with hundreds of distribution, manufacturing and retail operations.

Rehan Saeed is chairman of the board at Legacy Ventures. Saeed has over 10 years of diverse experience across multiple verticals in the banking industry. As the acting CFO of a start-up (UMF), he built and managed a $110 Million real estate portfolio within 2 years. Later, he joined AYA Financial as vice president and brought in over $30 Million in revenue and increased profitability by 25% above the competition.

International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (THM) Strategizes for Success in Alaska’s Massive Livengood Mining District

Seventy miles northwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, in one of the most desirable mining jurisdictions on earth, Canadian junior mining exploration company International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (NYSE MKT: THM) is developing its 100% interest in the Livengood Gold Project. The Livengood Mining District has been actively mined for nearly 100 years, and it’s considered one of the largest independent and undeveloped gold deposits in the world with production of more than 500,000 ounces of gold and more than 20 million ounces of gold resource contained.

Within this district, THM controls in entirety its 75-square mile land package, which is made up of Alaska State mining claims, fee simple land, federal placer claims, mineral lands leased from the Alaska Mental Health Land Trust, and leases with private holders’ federal patented and unpatented lode and placer claims.

According to THM, the Livengood gold resource has significantly expanded since it was acquired by the company in late 2006, marked by aggressive resource expansion drilling programs that now total more than 714,900 feet in over 792 drill holes.

THM’s stated vision is to “become a top mid-tier gold mining company,” and its advancement strategy to do so, in specific regard to the Livengood Gold Project, is to utilize a cash management program and maintain the necessary environmental baseline activities to move the permitting process forward. The mine plan provides sufficient ore to support annual production of roughly 577,600 ounces over an estimated 14-year mine life and an average of 698,500 ounces in the first five years of production.

As of September, 30, 2015, THM reported working capital of USD$7.5 million, which the company said it expects will enable Livengood Gold Project advancement into the year ahead.

Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) Growth Plans Aligned with North Carolina’s Recent Law Allowing for Industrial Production

hemp

North Carolina passed a law in October 2015 allowing for the regulated cultivation of industrial hemp. Once guidelines for the hemp program are established, landowners will be permitted to produce and harvest cannabis containing less than 0.3% THC – the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that creates a euphoric feeling. The NC Department of Agriculture will be responsible for issuing licenses and distributing seeds to those who have registered. The bill became law on October 31, 2015.

Industrial hemp will give North Carolina farmers another valuable cash crop and could replace tobacco crops that have lost value in recent years. For those concerned, hemp is very different than marijuana, containing less than 0.3% THC, so it would be impossible to get “high” from industrial hemp. Various parts of the plant can be used in the manufacture of more than 25,000 products. The leaves and flowers can be used to make CBD medicines for patients with cancer, intractable epilepsy, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and many others. The oil and seeds have high amounts of omega fatty acids, which help improve cholesterol levels and lower the risks of heart disease.

Hemp, Inc.’s (OTC: HEMP), wholly-owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC, is in the starting blocks ready to capitalize on the country’s growing attraction to hemp by way of the operation of the largest decortication plant in North America, which is located in Spring Hope, North Carolina. In a proactive, strategic move, the company’s management team initiated construction and installation activities at its 70,000-square-foot warehouse several months prior to the passing of the new law in order to prepare for the likely legalization of industrial hemp production in the state. Currently, the decortication plant is near completion.

Pat McCrory, Governor of North Carolina, passed Senate Bill 313, which is viewed by many as a major step in the direction of sustainable financial growth for Hemp, Inc. The law’s intent is to “establish an agricultural pilot program for the cultivation of industrial hemp in the state… and to pursue any federal permits or waivers necessary to allow industrial hemp to be grown in the state.”

Hemp, Inc. produces products made from industrial hemp. The company also offers products and services to the medical and recreational marijuana industries. The company develops and operates a website providing entertainment and news related to the medical marijuana industry. The company was formerly known as Marijuana, Inc. and changed its name to Hemp, Inc. in June 2012. Founded in 2008, Hemp, Inc. is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

International Stem Cell Corporation’s (ISCO) Clinical Trials Vital to Halting Progression of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive movement disorder, meaning that symptoms continue to get worse over time. Approximately one million people in the US are living with this disease. While there is currently no cure and its cause remains unknown, treatment options for managing symptoms range from medication to surgery.

Parkinson’s (PD) involves the death of nerve cells in the brain, called neurons. Some of these dying neurons produce dopamine, a chemical that sends messages to the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. As PD progresses, the amount of dopamine produced in the brain decreases. The result is that the inflicted individual is unable to control movement in a normal fashion.

Scientists are also exploring the suggestion that loss of cells in other areas of the brain and body contribute to PD. As an example, researchers have discovered that the first indication of PD — clumps of a protein alpha-synuclein, which are also called Lewy bodies — is found not only in the mid-brain, but also in the brain stem and the olfactory bulb. These areas of the brain are associated with non-motor functions such as sense of smell and sleep regulation. Scientists believe that the presence of Lewy bodies in these areas could explain the non-motor symptoms experienced by some people with PD before any motor sign of the disease appears.

Central to the conversation of the treatment of PD is International Stem Cell Corporation (OTC: ISCO). The company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cyto Therapeutics, has received regulatory approval by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia to initiate a phase I/IIa dose escalation trial of human parthenogenetic stem cells-derived neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) in patients with moderate to severe PD.

In 2014, the company announced encouraging results from preclinical studies of its ISC-hpNSC therapeutic candidate. In its preclinical studies, the cells demonstrated an improvement in PD symptoms and promoted increases in brain dopamine levels following the intracranial administration of ISC-hpNSC. The studies also noted that the ISC-hpNSCs provided neurotrophic support and cell replacement to dying dopaminergic neurons.

International Stem Cell Corporation is a publicly traded biotechnology company with a powerful new stem cell technology called parthenogenesis, which uses unfertilized eggs and promises to significantly advance the field of regenerative medicine by addressing the problem of immune-rejection. The company is centered on using stem cells to treat diseases of the eye, the nervous system and the liver, where cell therapy has been proven clinically but is limited by the availability of safe immune-matched human cells or tissue.

Nutra Pharma Corp. (NPHC) CEO Featured in Exclusive QualityStocks Interview

QualityStocks today announces the availability of a new audio interview with Rik Deitsch, CEO of Nutra Pharma Corp. (OTC: NPHC), a biotech company specializing in the acquisition, licensing and commercialization of pharmaceutical products and technologies for the management of neurological disorders, cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. The interview can be heard at http://www.QualityStocks.net/interview-nphc.php.

Nutra Pharma is developing a broad product platform for numerous indications, and it currently has 21 patents in its intellectual property portfolio. The QualityStocks interview begins with Deitsch describing Nutra Pharma’s business model and three key patents: one for autoimmune disease, one for antiviral therapeutics, and one for the treatment of pain. Nutra Pharma also has launched a line of over-the-counter (OTC) pain drugs (Nyloxin, for humans, and Pet Pain-Away, for dogs and cats), which financially buoy the research and development of the company’s potential blockbuster drugs.

“The sales of these OTC drugs produce revenue that mitigates the risk to investors and actually pays for the clinical research as we move the products forward,” Deitsch explains.

Before highlighting other individuals on the company’s management team, Deitsch, a seasoned biochemist, adjunct professor and author, describes his extensive professional background, which includes 25 years researching drugs derived from venomous animals, and employment with the world’s largest manufacturer of dietary supplements, for which he formulated more than 50 dietary supplements and conducted more than 50 clinical studies.

The topic then turns to several of Nutra Pharma’s historical milestones, its strategies to increase domestic and international reach, and how it transitioned into its current line of operations. One of Nutra Pharma’s largest achievements to-date, says Deitsch, is obtaining Orphan Drug Status from the U.S. FDA for RPI-78M for pediatric multiple sclerosis (MS).

“We went back and forth with the FDA for several weeks, but it only took about five weeks from the point where we applied for Orphan Drug Status to actually getting the Orphan Status designation, which is huge,” he says. “It really means the FDA saw the value that we had in our drug.”

Deitsch next describes the advantages of this corporate achievement, how it prepares the company to move into a larger market, and how it differs from currently available drugs.

“With our drug … we stop the hyper immune response that causes multiple sclerosis. So from the day you start taking the drug, what we’ve seen in our clinical research is that your disease progression stops and over time your symptoms improve. So this is a game-changer when it comes to treating any auto-immune disease, but certainly when it comes to treating multiple sclerosis. We really believe that we’re going to prove this in our clinical studies and then we’ll seek a licensed partner,” he says.

In the near future, Nutra Pharma plans on commencing and completing phase II clinical studies of RPI-78M and building a strong domestic sales force to increase sales and availability of its Nyloxin and Pet Pain-Away Products.

“I think that as we get this message out there we’re going to see a huge increase in sales that of course is not only going to help bring the company to the next level, it’s going to help us create more and more products for our platform that we’re going to be able to license to big pharma in the next 12-18 months,” concludes Deitsch.

Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (AVDX) Noninvasive, Pre-Symptomatic Ovarian Cancer Diagnostic Platform Could Also Address Many Other Diseases

According to the latest data from the American Cancer Society, in the U.S. alone over 21,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year, and more than 14,000 will perish from the disease. In most cases, ovarian cancer is detected by a combination of symptomatic expression and/or the discovery of a mass or lump during a routine pelvic examination. The disease is generally feared as a silent killer due to routinely being detected in later stages, after the problem has already become unwieldy.

This is most unfortunate given that if ovarian cancer can be detected early enough, the primary endpoint of five-year survivability is actually quite good, coming in at around 92 percent or greater. The sad reality however, is that the vast majority of cases are not detected early and are instead only identified after the cancer has already spread far away from the ovary, forcing the five-year survivability endpoint down to as low as 27 percent, or even as low as 18 percent. To complicate matters, the only way to currently obtain a certain diagnosis is through exploratory surgery (either via less invasive laparoscopy or open surgery if malignancy is expected), and if an apparently cancerous growth is observed on an ovary, a biopsy is typically forgone in favor of removing the ovary outrightly. This is in part due to the risk of a biopsy spreading the otherwise potentially localized cancer, as well as because the removal of only one ovary will not necessarily induce menopause or infertility in the patient, so long as the other ovary is in good condition.

Luckily, minimally invasive early detection technologies are rapidly evolving. Many of which are focused on exploiting key cancer biomarkers in order to bypass the need for surgical examination. In fact, according to a publication from MarketsandMarkets out earlier this year in August, the global cancer biomarkers market has really taken off over the last handful of years, and it is currently on track to experience a CAGR of 11.6 percent through 2020. This segment of the global cancer diagnostics space, which is on track to reach upwards of $168 billion over the same interval (according to a report published late last year by Transparency Market Research), is currently dominated by major players like Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT), Agilent (NYSE: A), Merck (NYSE: MRK) and Roche (OTC: RHHBY), but there is also considerable room for true innovators to breakout via disruptive technologies.

One company of particular interest here is Avant Diagnostics (OTC: AVDX). Avant has secured a worldwide licensing and sponsored research agreement with Sunnyvale, California-based life sciences developer Arrayit Corporation (OTC: ARYC) and Wayne State University in order to progress the state of the art in pre-symptomatic, noninvasive ovarian cancer screening. Leveraging the patented and proprietary microarray platform developed by Arrayit, AVDX is currently advancing its flagship diagnostic OvaDx®, a high sensitivity/specificity screening platform, which has been shown in extant research to be effective for all types, as well as stages of ovarian cancer. Currently proposed for monitoring women who have already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, OvaDx could go from benchmarking aide to default frontline diagnostic very quickly, making the company an extremely attractive play for investors.

Recent reception of IRB approval from the FDA in order to validate OvaDx amid an ongoing run up to 510(k) approval has put the company in a kind of pole position, out ahead of the field with a nearly-ready diagnostic tool for physicians that could allow for everything from improved monitoring of diagnosed patients and the identification of optimal surgical approaches, to better chemotherapy targeting, and synergy with other existing tests. Effectively the market’s first large panel screening solution for ovarian cancer, OvaDx has the potential to be a real game changer in women’s health, and the raw versatility of the underlying technologies places numerous other diseases well within striking distance of the company’s rapidly-developing diagnostic pipeline, including diseases ranging from other cancers such as breast, prostate, pancreatic, and throat/neck, to CNS diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Highly accurate, rapid turnover-capable, noninvasive testing technology like this could transform the diagnostic market for certain diseases in short order, and AVDX is very bullish about the potential to build out a pipeline of as many as six key diagnostic tests over the next few years. By combining organic development of existing capabilities, as well as acquisition of parallel or complementary diagnostic technologies, Avant seeks to transcend the ovarian cancer screening market longer term, applying the power of microarray biomarker validation to a whole host of diseases.
