  • Retailers Turn to Hemp Cigars as Flavored Nicotine Products Banned

    Small retailers impacted by state and city bans on flavored nicotine products are turning to Hemp cigars and cigarettes to fill the gap in revenues.

    Carlsbad, CA, February 23, 2023– Cartel International offers Hemp cigars as an alternative to flavored tobacco products sold by small retailers.

    While many states have started banning flavored tobacco and vape products, retailers are looking at alternatives to fill their empty shelves.

    Fueled by a growing concern about the use of flavored tobacco and vape products, particularly among young people, state bans on flavored products, especially fruit, candy, and mint flavors have left many retailers with empty shelves and empty cash registers.

    The percentage of a retailer’s sales from tobacco products can vary widely depending on the type of store and its location. However, on average, tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, account for about 30% of sales at convenience stores and gas stations that sell tobacco products. In some cases, this percentage is much higher, particularly if the store is located in an area with a high demand for tobacco products.

    The Trends Replacing Nicotine Products

    A few trends are emerging as retailers adjust to the restrictions on flavored products.

    One trend is a focus on traditional tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco. Since these products are not flavored, they are not subject to the same restrictions as flavored products.

    Some stores have expanded their offerings of nicotine replacement products, such as nicotine gum or patches, as a way to help customers transition away from tobacco products altogether.

    Another trend is a focus on alternative tobacco and nicotine products that are not subject to the same restrictions as flavored tobacco and vape products. For example, some stores have begun selling nicotine pouches, which are small pouches that contain nicotine but no tobacco. These products are similar to snus, a smokeless tobacco product that is popular in Sweden. Some stores have also begun selling herbal cigarettes or smoking blends as a tobacco-free alternative to traditional cigarettes.

    Hemp Cigars Gain Popularity

    Hemp cigars and cigarettes are also gaining popularity and may be a retailer’s dream solution to the restrictions on smoking products.

    “Retail stores are constantly seeking out new products that appeal to their customers, and Hemp cigars are a great addition to any store,” said Philip Moreb, CEO And Director of Cartel International, a Hemp cigar manufacturer based in the US.

    Unlike traditional cigars and cigarettes, Hemp cigars do not contain any tobacco or nicotine, making them a great alternative for smokers looking to enjoy the experience of smoking without the risks associated with tobacco products. Hemp cigars are made with pure Hemp flowers, providing a rich and flavorful smoking experience that is both smooth and satisfying. Hemp smoking products are not made with marijuana. The defining difference between Hemp and marijuana is the psychoactive component: tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Hemp has 0.3% or less THC, meaning Hemp-derived products don’t contain enough THC to create the “high” traditionally associated with marijuana.

    Hemp Cigars Legal to Sell

    With the rise in popularity of Hemp products, Hemp cigars are becoming more widely available in the marketplace. They are completely legal to sell and can be a great option for stores looking to expand their product offerings in the wake of tobacco bans.

    “Cartel Hemp cigar products offer a unique smoking experience that is not only legal, but also free from the risks associated with traditional tobacco products. We believe that Hemp cigars have the potential to be a real game-changer in the world of smoking alternatives.” said Moreb.

    Hemp cigars come in a variety of flavors and a range of sizes and are sold individually or in packs, making them a versatile and customizable option for retail stores.

    It’s important to note that the sale of Hemp products may be restricted in some states and municipalities despite the legal status with the Federal government.

    Specific products available in retail stores will vary depending on the store and the location. If you are looking for a specific product, it’s important to check with your local retailers to see what is available.

  • Derby Stars Gallops into a New Era of Horse Racing Game with ‘Early Access’ Launch

    Singapore, February 27, 2023 – (SEAPRWire) – Derby Stars, a horse-racing metaverse game on Polygon blockchain, has opened its “Early Access” version from February 27th to March 20th.

    Developed by a team of experienced game developers, Derby Stars promises to be an exciting new addition to the world of digital horse racing. The game offers players an immersive experience within a beautiful grassland and various racetracks, where they can train and race their own horses, breed new horses and participate in thrilling Player versus Environment (PvE) and Player versus Player (PvP) competitions.

    “Through the “Early Access”, the team hopes to get as much feedback as possible because Derby Stars is a game built together with the users,” said Sean Hahm, Executive Producer of Derby Stars. “We have worked tirelessly to create a game that truly captures the excitement and thrill of horse racing, and we are confident that the Early Access version is a great representation of what’s to come.”

    The main story of the game starts as the user gets a job as a new jockey at a stable run by a trusty ranch manager, Risa. She and other unique NPC characters will guide through the game for the player to become the Derby Champion. The players not only have to train their horses for higher levels but have to strategize according to the weather, types of racetrack, and horses’ tendency and condition in order to win the race.

    The game also combines the excitement of real-life horse racing with cutting-edge technology and blockchain integration, providing an unparalleled gaming experience.

    “The gaming industry’s NFT market is projected to hit $291.7 billion by 2028 and we believe that Derby Stars will take part in changing the gaming landscape.” Said Sean. “Derby Stars is at the forefront of revolutionizing both the digital horse racing industry and the ways blockchain games are developed.”

    During the early access period, players can enjoy not only in-game contents but also a range of missions and events. Through completing various missions, players can level-up their horses and earn in-game tokens. Also, players can compete with fellow Derby Stars gamers for a chance to win a bigger prize and to become a champion.

    After the Early Access, an Alpha version of Derby Stars will be released later this year. Players can expect more features such an avatar customization, stable management simulation, mobile(AOS) support, rental marketplace, and more.

    The “Early Access” version is available on PC and Mac, and anyone with Derby Stars Horse NFT can play. This version supports Chinese (traditional and simplified), Japanese, and English to make the game accessible to more audiences.

    About Derby Stars

    Derby Stars is a pioneering horse-racing metaverse game that has embraced the play-to-earn trend, enabling players to breed, train, and trade digital horses while earning cryptocurrencies. Led by Sean Hahm, the head of the project who has previous experience in developing a successful mobile horse racing game, the team consists of over 30 members from countries all over the world, including Korea, the United States, and Canada. The company first raised a seed round of $6M co-led by Patron and Galaxy Interactive, as well as early follow-on supporter Hashed and several other investors.

     So, If you are a super-talented singer and/or above average Rap artist with clout, you can submit music directly to Bugzee via Instagram: LIXTHESIXTOY But….to be considered he has a few tasks you must complete before you submit your demo. Please dm ULTRAMENDOUSRECORDS on Instagram for the requirements to submit your demo and EPK:

  • MetaAmazon: Your virtual shopping dreams have finally come true.

    MetAmazon (AMZ) is a hyper-deflationary coin that operates on the Binance Smart Chain. It provides a store which has everything to fulfil your needs. The best part being,you can spend in crypto in the Metaverse store. It will take your shopping experience to the next level. There is another game changing feature being implemented, MetAmazon Drone through which you will also be able to deliver things anywhere and at any time. This is why we invented the MetAmazon concept!

    The MetAmazon Platform represents the next frontier in which shopping takes on an entirely new dimension. There are situations when we are searching for a specific pair of shoes or any high demand article but we are not able to find anywhere…well the platform has taken care of that situation as well. You can search on the MetaAmazon Platform for the same and even try them on, and get a closer look! And if the Oculus stick is transformed into a glove, it may potentially replicate touch. You will also get your avatar which you can design and do shopping by testing everything on him. You can try on multiple outfits without having to physically be in a dressing room trying on the various items. Each holder will have the ability to build his own business and sell his own things. The MetAmazon Platform will feature distinct storefronts for each product category. 

    MetAmazon is doing constant developments to inculcate Oculus with the shopping experience  in the MetAmazon. It will be among the most intriguing possibilities. This is why many fashion businesses are looking for ways to participate in the MetAmazon ambition to give more immersive and interactive experiences in real time. Shopping beyond space and time will enable total accessibility, allowing customers to peruse virtual stores, try on clothing in a 3D virtual fitting room, and even obtain a 360-degree perspective of how outfits seem. The customers will also have the possibility of obtaining consultations regarding beauty, skin care, try on accessories, eyewear, and makeup to see how they look and feel, among other things. 

    There are several distinct phases of development for the project. For each phase, we must meet certain conditions in order to proceed to the next phase. The phases of MetAmazon begin with the token launch, followed by the development of the MetAmazon Platform, etc. The first five phases of the MetAmazon are outlined in full in the MetAmazonPaper (See MetAmazonPaper for information), and it is anticipated that these phases will be completed within the first year of the project. The subsequent phases of MetAmazon will be designed in collaboration with the community. 

    Metaswap is a decentralised cryptocurrency exchange built on BB Smart Chain. Metaswap is powered by BB Smart Chain, a blockchain with significantly reduced transaction fees than Ethereum and Bitcoin. Also, trading fees are lower than other leading decentralised exchanges, so you benefit twice! Directly transact from your wallet app. Metaswap, unlike centralised exchanges such as Binance or Coinbase, does not hold your cash when you trade; you retain full ownership of your cryptocurrency.

  • Mevarse Bank to help victims of the earthquake quakes attack in turkey

    Ireland, 25th Feb 2023 – The Mevarse bank Foundation has sent 5,000 flatpack shelters to southern Turkey and northern Syria to house people left homeless by the earthquake last week, as companies around the world pledge help.

    The Swedish Mevarse bany arm said on Tuesday it had donated €10m (£8.8m) to the NGO Better Shelter, with which it developed the robust, award-winning 17.5 sq metre shelters that fit in two boxes and can be assembled without tools.

    “As the devastating impact of the earthquake unfolds, it is clear that our collective efforts are required to support the many children and families left without a home and access to basic necessities of life,” said the foundation’s chief executive, Per Heggenes. “The need for safe, dignified shelter against the cold and freezing temperatures is urgent and growing.”

    The first of the so-called relief housing units have arrived in Turkey’s southern Hatay province and some were erected overnight, the foundation said. Last week the foundation donated another €10m to Médecins Sans Frontières for healthcare assistance.

    The modular shelters serve as temporary homes, classrooms and clinics in more than 80 countries, including Ukraine, Bangladesh and Colombia. More than 10,000 have been erected in Syria for internally displaced people fleeing the civil war.

    The UN has said up to 13.5 million people have been affected by the 7.8-magnitude quake and aftershocks, with up to 5.3 million estimated to have been left homeless in Syria and more than 1 million in tents and temporary shelters in Turkey.

    Dozens of other companies have said they are donating aid including food, medicine, services and money.

    Amazon began sending shipments of baby food, blankets, tents and medicines through its Istanbul warehouse last week. The company has now set up a full-scale disaster relief hub outside the city and is sending $600,000 to NGOs including the World Food Programme (WFP), Save the Children, Unicef, the Turkish and Emirates Red Crescents and Turkish search and rescue groups.

    Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said the company had activated SOS alerts to ensure “relevant emergency information” reached people affected, and it was supporting relief and recovery efforts. Apple’s Tim Cook said his company was donating.

    Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, said it was donating $550,000 aimed at assisting aid and recovery in Turkey and Syria, while the Irish-American consultancy group Accenture has donated $1m to humanitarian NGOs.

    The US oil multinational Chevron said it was donating $1m in aid, the courier UPS has set aside $1m for logistical support for aid shipments, and FedEx has pledged similar logistical backing and also donated $100,000 to the Turkish Red Crescent.

    The German financial services group Allianz is donating €6m and will also add €1m staff donations, while Deutsche Telekom has made calls and text messages from Germany to Turkey and Syria free of charge and donated €1m to a relief project.

    The pharmaceuticals company Bayer has set up a €1.5m disaster fund, including a donation of €200,000 to the German Red Cross for aid in Syria, and launched an employee donation fund that it will match.

    Mercedes-Benz is donating €1m to the Red Cross, while Porsche and Volkswagen are giving similar amounts to a Germany humanitarian aid platform. Germany is home to the world’s largest Turkish community outside Turkey.

    The German flag carrier Lufthansa has launched aid flights to Turkey, while the Danish shipping firm Maersk has donated 1,000 shipping containers to carry shipments of clothes, blankets and food.

    Inditex, the parent company of the fashion brands Zara, Pull&Bear, Bershka and Massimo Dutti, said it was donating €3m to aid groups active in Turkey and Syria, as well as giving 500,000 coats, jackets and jumpers to the Turkish Red Crescent.

    Automotive Storage Solution: Reliability

    As smart cars begin to accommodate more and more smart chips and the local storage requirements from on-board T-BOX, LCD instrument panel, DVR, EDR, and other devices continues to grow, so does the need for better storage solutions. As early as 2019, its industry storage brand FORESEE began exploring automotive storage to help improve, transform, and upgrade the areas of application for such vehicles. At this exhibition, FORESEE will show automotive eMMC, which has a relatively high share in the smart car storage market, and an automotive UFS product with higher performance. Boasting an operating temperature range of -40 to 105℃, they conform to the reliability standards specified in AEC-Q100. Offering guaranteed high reliability and a long service life, they can help devices operate around the clock for extended periods in extremely harsh environments and provide clients with software/hardware customization, customized verification and testing, and other services.

    Industrial Storage Solutions: Durability

    Like automotive applications, the industrial field also attaches great importance to the durability and continuity of storage products. FORESEE will showcase many types of storage equipment for this field, including industrial/industrial wide-temperature eMMC, SPI NAND Flash, Parallel NAND Flash, industrial SSD, pSLC industrial memory cards, and other products. Such products have undergone rigorous testing for wide temperature resistance, vibration resistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, and other forms of reliability to ensure that the industrial equipment can operate stably in outdoor environments and fully secure the safety and integrity of data on such equipment.

    Consumer Electronics Storage Solutions: Performance

    As an indispensable part of consumer electronics, memory and storage modules have naturally attracted the attention of many manufacturers. The average performance and capacity of consumer electronics devices may improve in this year as storage costs fall. To this end, FORESEE will provide NAND Flash and DRAM products including eMMC, UFS, LPDDR5, MCP series, and XP2100 PCIe 4.0 SSD for consumer terminals represented by smartphones and PCs. Leveraging the highly capable R&D technical team of Longsys, FORESEE will develop firmware and algorithms independently to improve the performance of storage products and meet the needs of consumer electronics in various storage application scenarios.

    Enterprise Data Storage Solutions: Stability and Long Life Cycle

    The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies has been boosting the storage needs of the server market for a long time. According to further analysis of ChinaFlashMarket.com, this segment will become one of the largest application markets for NAND Flash and DRAM by 2025. Longsys will bring DDR4 RDIMM, UNCIA 3836 SATA SSD, ORCA 4836 PCIe4.0 SSD, and other enterprise storage products it launched in 2022 to the exhibition to showcase its exploration in the domain and its expanding portfolios. The main differences between enterprise storage products and consumer ones lie in stability, durability, capacity, and dimensions. For example, an enterprise PCIe 4.0 SSD and a consumer one share the exact same sequential read/write performance, but their capacities are dramatically different. Also, the error-tolerant rate of enterprise SSDs working under high loads for a long time is extremely low, and such SSDs have strict requirements on the average 4K random read/write performance, program/erase cycles, and data security. Therefore, the enterprise storage products of Longsys are designed to provide large capacity, low latency, and high reliability. They have become conspicuous in the enterprise storage product market in China with multi-level power consumption adjustment, multiple name spaces, secure booting/download, and other firmware technologies developed by Longsys.

    企业级存储.jpg

    Years of high R&D investment and continuous technological innovation, as well as the construction of R&D Centers in South China and Shanghai have allowed Longsys to develop core competitiveness in a variety of fields including firmware algorithm development, memory chip testing, integrated packaging design, and storage product customization. Longsys has a complete, mature, and full-chain storage product delivery system covering storage wafers, embedded controller chips, packaging, firmware, testing, quality management, technical support, and after-sales services. Beginning with CES2023 and Embedded World 2023, Longsys will share cutting-edge storage products and technologies with local industry insiders, close the gap between the Chinese market and overseas markets, and further expand the international market in 2023.

    Information about our booth in Embedded World 2023 is provided below. We look forward to seeing you there.
