New Awards. Last week, Vectrus announced it had received two additional task orders under the AFCAP V $6.4 billion ID/IQ contract. The new firm-fixed price awards are valued at $40 million. These two additional task orders build on the Company’s AFCAP wins that were announced in the first quarter, demonstrating Vectrus’ ability to support the contingency and humanitarian requirements under AFCAP V, in our view.

Iraq Now Under Vectrus. It appears operational responsibility for Iraq has finally transferred over to Vectrus under the LOGCAP V award. The worldwide pandemic slowed the transition process down substantially, but with Iraq transferred Vectrus could finally begin to realize more of the LOGCAP V award promise. We view the transition positively …

Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Cathie Wood Drop Bombshells at Bitcoin Conference

Prices surged on crypto assets as the B-Word Conference which included Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Cathie Wood together discussing the future, revealed forward-thinker insights on the future of finance. Prices of cryptos surged, even before the conference got underway. They followed through as Musk, Dorsey and Wood from Ark Invest revealed their understanding of crypto’s strengths and the current monetary systems weaknesses.

The B-Word Conference was not all about the live interaction between the three “A-Team” presenters, but it was their’s that caused the Etherium spike, added interest in Dogecoins future, and other market shaping buzz. With Elon Musk, a co-founder of Paypal (also founder of SpaceX and Tesla), Jack Dorsey the CEO of Square (also Twitter), and Cathie Wood the founder, and CEO of Ark Invest, attendees may have come away with investment ideas on finance, energy, and the internet. Here are highlights thoughts that could shape the world’s financial future:

Elon Musk

-Views Bitcoin as an information system for labor allocation, he says it (information) exists in different bank mainframes around the world, but not in a centralized place. In his mind Bitcoin resolves this scattered system.

-Sees positive trend in crypto-mining energy use.

-With diligence will resume Bitcoin payment for Tesla purchases.

-He owns Etherium, Doge, as well as Bitcoin.

-Baseload for 24-hour mining can not be met with wind and solar. Musk believes modern nuclear power plants are safe and endorses them as the measure to resolve gap energy issues.

-Dogecoin community draws him because it is irreverent and has great memes.

-Musk says when it comes to survival, sometimes the simplest answer is the most likely. He said a friend told him the most ironic answer is the most likely. But thought, perhaps the most entertaining is the most likely. If true (according to Elon) the most ironic and entertaining “winner” would the crypto that started as a joke to make fun of crypto currency.

Cathie Wood

-Mentored under Art Laffer and collaborated on a paper with him in 2014 on a rules-based monetary system. Laffer at first was unsure of Bitcoin, then understood the disruptive economics implied, and identified the misunderstanding of cryptos in general.

-Bitcoin is a better means of exchange. Store of account value is primary use, especially stablecoins.

-Apps built to support Bitcoin have value.

-Leading crypto could be as large as U.S. Monetary base, or $8 trillion. Purchasing power will grow over time with acceptance.

-Good hedge against confiscation of wealth which can take place in a myriad of ways.

-Hedge against purchasing power destructivity of inflation.

-Broadbased utility for economic system that will increase proliferation of renewables.

-Economically empowers 4.3 billion people living under hostile regimes. Bitcoin’s “noble and social good” extends beyond the typical ESG mindset.

-Finds Bitcoin developers understand their place in history. They are inspired by a noble mission and sense of purpose to be impactful in monetary history.

Jack Dorsey

-Worldwide remittance system solved because you don’t have to go through intermediaries.

-Powerful, secure, and strong because you don’t have to rely on the state.

-Bitcoin is resilient enough to overcome obstacles, governmental, acceptance, technical challenges.

-Bank ACH system is archaic.

-Attracted to Bitcoin because of irreverence, believes it will become more accessible and endure.

-Called Bitcoin the “native currency” for the internet.

Take-Away

The B-Word Conference which was
detailed yesterday morning on Channelchek had many more than these three Bitcoin experts sharing their thoughts. The topics ranged from the most basic to some very intense or technical subjects. The three “thought leaders” Musk, Dorsey, and Wood, are important as two of the three are helping to shape the future, while Wood represents investor buy-in and funding.

Release – CanAlaska Mobilizes for West Athabasca Diamond Project

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Admin

CanAlaska Appoints New Vice President Exploration

Kimberlite Indicator Mineral Sampling to Target Basal Tills

Sampling Down-Ice of More Than 300 Circular Magnetic Anomalies

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 22, 2021) – CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) (“CanAlaska” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has mobilized a crew to begin kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) sampling down-ice of its West Athabasca Diamond Project areas. The Company holds 51,654 hectares (129,135 acres) of claims encompassing over 300 circular magnetic anomalies in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan. The project is located north and northeast of the past-producing Cluff Lake Uranium Mine (Figure 1).

Figure 1

The objective of this sampling program is to complement the 2018 DeBeers’ till sampling program, which was tightly restricted to eskers inside the claim boundaries. These eskers are relatively short, sinuous and sharp-crested features that sit on top of glacial outwash deposits. As a result, the sampled eskers unlikely eroded the local bedrock or basal tills, and therefore may not have sampled the potential kimberlite material possibly associated with these circular anomalies. This new KIM till sampling program will focus in close proximity to Athabasca Group outcrop locations in order to find and acquire basal till samples that contain material possibly associated with these magnetic anomalies.

In 2011, a high-quality regional magnetic and radiometric airborne survey was completed over the Athabasca Basin which resulted in identification of small, round magnetic anomalies that resemble the size and character of anomalies generally associated with kimberlite pipes elsewhere. Based on this observation, the West Athabasca claims were staked in 2015 and later optioned to DeBeers in 2016. DeBeers conducted a high-resolution low-amplitude aeromagnetic survey that defined 695 discrete singular and cluster anomalies like those shown in Figure 2 for the William River Block. Seven of the anomalies were identified as accessible for summer drilling and nine holes were completed in the fall of 2016. DeBeers drill tested the margins of seven magnetic anomalies out of the more than 300 that had been defined as priority. No kimberlite was intersected but three of the holes identified a thin magnetic mud of possible biogenic origin at the base of the till near the bedrock top. Only summer accessible targets were drill tested since a vast majority of the magnetic anomalies exist under lakes or muskeg.

Figure 2

In support of kimberlite emplacement potential, the singular and cluster anomalies follow a general southwest-northeast orientation in proximity to a known deep-crustal domain-boundary structure known as the Grease River Shear Zone (“GRSZ”) (Figure 1). The association of the cluster orientations in relation to this structure provides an interesting emplacement and target scenario. On a more regional scale, this area of the Athabasca Basin is underlain by the Rae Province, a thick Archean crust.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, “The team has done an excellent job of re-evaluating the potential of our West Athabasca Diamond Project. The more than 300 discrete circular magnetic anomalies of the size and character of kimberlite pipes suggest these anomalies need to be considered further. Locating KIMs in basal tills that may better represent bedrock sources located up-ice would be an encouraging outcome from this program and significantly upgrade diamond discovery potential in this region.”

About CanAlaska Uranium

CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N) holds interests in approximately 214,000 hectares (530,000 acres), in Canada’s Athabasca Basin – the “Saudi Arabia of Uranium.” CanAlaska’s strategic holdings have attracted major international mining companies.

Avivagen Announces Strategic Changes to Support Growth in Asia and South America

Addition of Mr. Lesley Nernberg brings technical sales and marketing expertise to Asia expansion efforts
Termination of distribution agreement with São Paulo-based Look Chemicals creates opportunity for accelerated adoption of OxC-betaTM Livestock in Brazil

Ottawa, ON /Business Wire/ July 22, 2021/ Avivagen Inc. (TSXV:VIV, OTCQB:VIVXF) (“Avivagen”), a life sciences corporation focused on developing and commercializing products for livestock, companion animal and human applications that safely enhances feed intake and supports immune function, thereby supporting general health and performance, has announced new strategic measures to support continued growth in Asia and Brazil.

Avivagen has retained the services of Mr. Lesley Nernberg as a technical sales and marketing consultant, focused on accelerating the adoption of OxC-betaTM Livestock in Asia. He has held important technical sales and operation management positions with multiple well-known multinational animal nutrition companies such as ADM, Diamond V and Biomin, with a focus on marketing feed additives and complete feed across Asia. Based in Thailand, Mr. Nernberg holds a graduate degree in animal science and nutrition from the University of Manitoba and has established himself as an expert in the livestock feed additive industry in Asia over the past nine years. In particular, Mr. Nernberg will focus primarily on Vietnam, Indonesia and South Korea.

Avivagen also today announced the termination of its Brazilian OxC-betaTM Livestock distribution agreement with São Paulo-based Look Chemicals Importacao E Exportacao LTDA. Advanced discussions with potential new distribution partners are currently underway in order to support the company’s growth ambitions in the world’s third-largest feed production market.

“We have experienced considerable success in a number of Asian markets to date, and the addition of an accomplished, respected and connected expert like Mr. Nernberg will help us further establish OxC-betaTM as a leading health-promoting option for producers throughout the region,” says Kym Anthony, CEO of Avivagen Inc. “We’re also very excited about the potential for new agreements to support our continued and accelerated growth in Brazil. We thank Look Chemicals for their support during our entry into this important production market.”

About OxC-beta™ Technology and OxC-beta™ Livestock
Avivagen’s OxC-beta™ technology is derived from Avivagen discoveries about ?-carotene and other carotenoids, compounds that give certain fruits and vegetables their bright colours. Through support of immune function, the technology provides a non-antibiotic means of promoting health and growth. OxC-beta™ Livestock is a proprietary product shown to be an effective and economic alternative to the antibiotics commonly added to livestock feeds. The product is currently available for sale in the United States, Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Brazil, Australia and Malaysia.

Avivagen’s OxC-beta™ Livestock product is safe, effective and could fulfill the global mandate to remove all in-feed antibiotics as growth promoters. Numerous international livestock trials with poultry and swine using OxC-beta™ Livestock have proven that the product performs as well as, and, sometimes, in some aspects, better than in-feed antibiotics.

NFT Collectible Marketplace for DRAFTKINGS

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Admin

NFT Sports Collectibles Marketplace for Company Co-Founded by Tom Brady

NFTs are quickly moving from obscure assets to more widely sought-after, collected, or traded, investments. Part of any asset’s value is scarcity. Each unique NFT has scarcity designed into it. The second is liquidity; this occurs with an active central market. The marketplace for one-of-a-kind digital sports memorabilia is being created – DraftKings is aggressively working to become the central market and creator of desirable NFTs

DraftKings began as an American daily fantasy sports contest and sports betting operator. In April 2020, DraftKings went public through a SPAC merger which allowed an injection of capital and the ability to more readily expand into areas of related businesses.

Details

Yesterday (July 21), in a press release, DraftKings, Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) announced: “Company Becomes the Exclusive Seller
of Sports-Related NFTs From Autograph’s Officially Licensed Talent Roster.” As part of the announcement, the company revealed its plans to launch DraftKings Marketplace. The Marketplace will be a digital collectibles ecosystem designed for mainstream accessibility that offers curated NFT drops and also allows secondary transactions. After launched, customers will be able to more easily buy, sell and trade digital collectibles across sports, entertainment, and culture using their DraftKings account. Additionally, as part of a new affiliation, DraftKings Marketplace will become the exclusive distributor of sports-related NFT content from the platform. Autograph was founded by sports legends Derek Jeter, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretsky, and others. Its business is the official licensing of prominent athletes and celebrities to provide a varied assortment of digital collectibles.

“The NFT boom has reinvented the collectibles industry and driven excitement to early-adopting audiences worldwide—including the DraftKings community,” said Matt Kalish, DraftKings co-founder and president. “DraftKings Marketplace will sit at the center of this technological and cultural phenomenon, providing our immense existing customer base with an easily accessible experience that rivals all legacy marketplaces. This initial vision in collaboration with Autograph, and its coveted collection of official digital collectibles, is a vital first step as we enter the emergent NFT market. We aim to usher in this new era by introducing millions of collectors to this evolving space while providing beloved content through an intuitive interface built to win over the long term.”

When?

The initial drops on DraftKings Marketplace will be the “Pre-Season Access” collection. It will be priced in $USD and showcase NFTs of legendary athletes from Autograph’s talent roster and partners. The Marketplace will also serve as a secondary-sales platform where registered users can buy, sell and trade digital collectibles brought to the online market.

“As the world becomes more comfortable with digital ownership and collection, we see an incredible opportunity to bring users high-quality and personalized content from their favorite athletes, artists, and franchises,” said Dillon Rosenblatt, Founder and CEO, Autograph. “NFTs are the perfect medium to connect users to both the things they love and those who share those interests, and we want to leverage today’s incredible partnerships to provide continued value to our community.”

Autograph’s advisory board which is largely made up of athletes and entertainers will help design custom NFTs exclusively for Autograph then will begin rolling them out later in the summer. While DraftKings Marketplace will be the exclusive purveyor of sports NFTs from Autograph, the collaboration may eventually branch into other verticals like entertainment, lifestyle and culture. Autograph recently teamed up with Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), to be able to derive NFT content from iconic films and television. This could include, The Hunger Games, Rambo IV & V, Dirty Dancing, Blair Witch, Mad
Men, John Wick, The Divergent Series, The
Expendables, The Twilight Saga and other well-recognized titles.
