Kartoon Studios (AMEX: TOON) Is Keeping Stan Lee's Legacy Alive With Its Brand New Stan Lee Store On Amazon And YouTube Channel

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In 1941, a little-known editorial assistant at Timely Comics published his first comic, ‘Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge’. That someone then went on to gain fame as Stan “The Man” Lee – and the world of comics and superheroes was forever changed. Stan Lee was a towering figure in the industry, creating classics like Spiderman, Iron Man, Black Panther and many others. His legacy is everywhere and central to the world of superheroes. As of November 2023, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had earned more than $29 billion, making it the biggest movie franchise ever. While Stan Lee has passed, the world he created is long-lasting and is showing no signs of slowing down. Kartoon Studios (AMEX: TOON) is one of the global companies working hard to keep Stan Lee’s vision alive. It is a global company specializing in creating, producing, distributing, marketing and licensing entertainment brands. With a diverse portfolio of original animated content, including popular shows such as Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten, Shaq's Garage, Rainbow Rangers and Llama Llama, Kartoon Studios seems to have established itself as a prominent player in the entertainment industry. Kartoon Studios, which is the controlling partner of "Stan Lee Universe, LLC," has recently unveiled a new dedicated storefront on Amazon, exclusively featuring products related to Stan Lee. This Stan Lee storefront, powered by Meteor, offers a wide range of branded apparel and merchandise adorned with graphics that pay homage to the legendary "Godfather of Comics." This new storefront further enhances the brand's connection with its digital community of passionate fans. “The launch of our first Stan Lee dedicated storefront with Amazon and Meteor is game-changing for our brand because it offers an incredible, far-reaching, and trusted e-commerce store to provide Stan’s legion of tens of millions of devoted fans globally, access for the first time to Stan Lee merchandise,” shared Andy Heyward, Chairman & CEO of Kartoon Studios. “In building an engaged community, we are also providing the framework for recurring revenue and growth opportunities. We are confident this program has the capacity to significantly grow Stan Lee Universe both in the U.S. and globally.” In a divided world, Stan Lee’s pen often brought communities together. Stan Lee is well-known throughout the industry as someone who not only created amazing stories of heroes triumphing over evil but as someone who decried injustices in real life. The legend spent a lifetime condemning racism and creating characters that every little boy and girl could relate to, regardless of their background and heritage. Kartoon Studios is firmly intent on keeping Stan Lee’s legacy alive. The company has also announced the launch of the " Stan Lee Presents " channel on YouTube. With a subscriber count of already over 300,000, this newly rebranded channel, previously known as "Cinematica," will be managed by Frederator Networks, a subsidiary of Kartoon Studios and one of YouTube's largest animation networks. “Stan Lee’s immense creativity, his relatable characters, and his groundbreaking storytelling style had a significant global influence on the world of entertainment and pop culture, from Star Wars to The Simpsons. To honor his incredible legacy, we are launching ‘Stan Lee Presents’ to continue to share his vision of storytelling to his millions of fans around the world,” shared Heyward. Dedicated to everything Stan Lee, "Stan Lee Presents" will feature a diverse range of content sourced from Stan's personal archives, digital Stan Lee comic books, exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, seldom-seen historical materials as well as sneak peeks of upcoming projects from the Stan Lee Universe. The channel will be an exclusive destination for clips, trailers, interviews and more related to Stan Lee. “Stan Lee’s popularity and fan base continue to grow with new generations of fans discovering his talent and magic, and we will continue to create opportunities for fans to engage whether it be through the Amazon storefront or new products and experiences we have in the pipeline,” shared Lloyd Mintz, SVP of Global Consumer Products, Kartoon Studios.

Meet VantagePoint, Inventor Of The World’s First AI-Powered Software For Independent Traders That Launched In 1991

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm, from healthcare to Big Tech and everything in between. According to data obtained by Finbold, the AI industry's estimated market size was $207.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to increase dramatically by 788.64% to reach $1.87 trillion by 2030. While AI is being integrated into society with great vigor today, unbeknownst to many, AI is not a new concept. With the recent attention on AI, many traders are looking for platforms that include AI – but one company has been using it all along. Lane Mendelsohn, president of VantagePoint, is here to explain how the company was one of the first to embrace AI in the 20th century and its journey along the way. Benzinga: It seems like AI is just now becoming popular and mainstream, but it's not new. Who first came up with AI and when was that? Lane Mendelsohn: Artificial intelligence was invented and created back in the 1950s at Carnegie Mellon. That's where my father went to college and in the 1960s [Lou Mendelsohn] had the opportunity to work with AI on the mainframes. He saw that it had capabilities, but at that time, he didn't have a real application for it. Fast forward to the 1980s, he had developed the first commercial trading software in the world that did historical backtesting and simulations, and he was in who's who in the financial world for that invention. Then in the late 1980s, my father began implementing AI to financial market forecasting and introduced to the world in 1991 the first-ever AI forecasting trading software for individual traders, and that was the introduction of VantagePoint. Benzinga: VantagePoint has been using and offering AI since 1991. How has it been able to stay at the forefront of this technology for so long? Lane Mendelsohn: It’s a matter of continuing to develop and refine the technology consistently. We’ve been forecasting the markets with AI for over 3 decades, so that’s a lot of historical data that’s all in the AI’s learning. We all know the markets are constantly changing and, honestly, AI and technology are constantly changing. For us to ensure that we're continuing to provide that cutting-edge technology, we have to stay vigilant. We must persist in further developing the technology and refining it. That's a commitment that we've made and continue to make. We forecast for over 2,300 stocks, ETFs, Futures, Forex Pairs, commodities, and cryptocurrencies every single day. Each one uses anywhere up to 90 input values to calculate daily predictive indicators. Each input uses up to seven values to be calculated. That makes up to 630 data points per market or 1,450,000 for all supported markets daily. But then you add in our forecasts for Options traders, and you’re looking at over 1 billion data points per day. That’s something no human could handle in a day, let alone years, and VantagePoint can handle it through the research, development, innovation, and training we’ve devoted to it over the years. Over the last ten years, we've invested over $10 million into research and development. And we’re never done. We continue to work on training and accuracy every day. That commitment to constant innovation gives VantagePoint traders a tremendous advantage in the markets. And our goal is to continue to provide that edge every trading day. Benzinga: What differentiates VantagePoint from the recent surge of AI for traders that have emerged in this market? Lane Mendelsohn: [VantagePoint has] three key elements – proven accuracy, longevity, and patents. No one else in this space has third-party verified accuracy up to 87.4%. No one has been around for 45 years as a company while providing AI for traders since 1991 like VantagePoint has. And lastly, no one has two proprietary U.S. patents on performing intermarket analysis using neural networks and calculating predictive technical indicators. [VantagePoint’s] neural network has three different parts to it. There's the input layer, hidden layer, and output layer. The input layer is ingesting all of the raw data it's fed; millions and millions of data points go in the hidden layer. The neural networks are made of individual nodes, these individual neurons that are built to simulate a human brain, but obviously much more powerful and can do a lot more. Each one of those neurons has its own specific role, its own specific function, in the neural network. Each one on its own is not capable of coming up with the answer, but what happens is they all have a very specific job that they're trained on, and they're trained to do one specific thing very well. And then the findings from each of those individual neurons and nodes are pushed to the output layer where they're reassembled together to give you the answer. In the case of market forecasting, the answer is, ‘Here’s what the price of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) or Meta (NASDAQ: META) is going to do tomorrow.’ Benzinga: You mentioned two patents. Can you elaborate on those two U.S. patents VantagePoint holds in the AI domain and how they contribute to the software's forecasting reliability and proven accuracy? Lane Mendelsohn: Certainly. To start, each patent on their own stands on its own two legs. It’s when you have both combined that the unparalleled edge is found. One of those patents is for intermarket analysis and analyzing global market data. So, it's identifying for Nvidia stock, for example … It's going to look at the 30 most closely related markets that drive impact and influence the price of Nvidia. Now, if you want to know where Nvidia's going to go or any stock for that matter, you should look at what factors are driving and pushing that particular market. VantagePoint identifies what those individual markets are, and then through this proprietary process, we're weighing those, because it's not like every one of those 30 markets drives, impacts and influences Nvidia to the same degree. They're all weighted, and those weightings adjust over time. So, the patent identifies the markets, weighs them, and then uses that information for pattern recognition, forecasting what's going to happen next. The second patent takes traditional lagging indicators, for example Bollinger Bands, MACD, Stochastics, and so on, which only give you past data, and turns them into leading indicators. And that's the second patent, Calculating Predictive Technical Indicators. So, when you combine those two proprietary advancements together, that's what really stacks the odds in the favor of independent traders and they're now able to do something that on their own would've been humanly impossible. Benzinga: What advice do you have for traders who are considering adopting AI for their trading strategies? Lane Mendelsohn: You've got to do your due diligence. You've got to make sure the AI is doing something that makes sense for a trader, that it serves a purpose, that it’s doing something you couldn't have done on your own, and that it's consistently highly accurate. It needs to be proprietary AI that has gone through deep learning, specifically for predicting the markets and considering global market analysis. You don’t want some open-source code licensed from a new AI company with a pretty bow slapped on it. So far, VantagePoint is the only AI for traders I’m aware of that checks those must-have boxes. For traders and investors looking to get an edge in the markets, VantagePoint could be a solution with its long history, dual-patented technology, and a commitment to continuing innovation.

BacTech Environmental (BAC.C) Files Patent on Zero-Waste Metal Recovery System, as global ESG Investment Hits $30 Trillion

BacTech Environmental Corporation

April 11, 2024 – TheNewsWire – Global Stocks News – On April 5, 2024 BacTech Environmental (CSE: BAC) (US-OTC: BCCEF) announced that it has filed an expanded patent application for industry’s first zero-waste bioleach process using green technology for metals recovery and fertilizer and steel production from sulphide minerals. BacTech has developed an eco-friendly bioleaching process to recover metals like gold, silver, cobalt, nickel, and copper, while removing harmful contaminants like arsenic. The proprietary process uses bacteria to neutralize toxic concentrates and tailings while creating revenue streams from precious and base metals. BAC’s technology is in sync with the mining industry’s desire to attract younger environmentally conscious investors. “Global ESG assets are $30 trillion, and on track to surpass $40 trillion by 2030,” reports a January 2024 ESG report from Bloomberg Intelligence. "Investors' desire to have more control and align their investments with their personal views is a major long-term shift that is still in the early innings,” states David Botset, at Schwab Asset Management. “ BacTech’s IP development path specifically aligns with broader trends across mining and steel industry operations, consistent with continued public and policymaker calls to shift processes and reduce carbon emissions,” confirms Ross Orr, President, and CEO of BacTech. Click Image To View Full Size Key April 5, 2024 BacTech Highlights: Company files expanded Provisional Patent Application for zero-waste bioleach process Intellectual Property (IP). Engineered for eco-friendly nickel, copper and cobalt recovery from pyrrhotite and pyrite tailings, new zero-waste IP introduces novel methods for transforming remaining waste compounds into valuable, alternative green commodities. Zero-waste IP now optimized to convert soluble iron into iron metal (produced on-site or as a feedstock to green steel making) and to create ammonium sulphate fertilizer from bioleach acid (sold as organic fertilizer). Independent estimates suggest approximately 80 to 100 million tonnes of pyrrhotite tailings in the Sudbury, Ontario region alone (pyrrhotite and pyrite waste is common to many mining operations). Testing and Collaboration with MIRARCO (Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation, and Applied Research Corporation) continues for pilot-scale bioleach circuit testing in Sudbury. “The proprietary technology is appropriate to the commercial interests of non-ferrous metal production, steel making and fertilizer production which are all traditionally siloed as separate industries,” stated CEO Ross Orr. “We believe our zero-waste metals recovery IP will emerge as a defining solution,” continued Orr. “By diversifying the range of products derived from these projects, BacTech aims to reduce dependence on long-term metal prices as the primary drivers for investment in remediation efforts while treating pyrrhotite and pyrite waste streams from current operations.” BacTech plans to capitalize on fostering both sustainability and profitability in the industry by creating land value previously occupied by a legacy of mining industry waste. Applicable to the treatment of existing pyrrhotite or pyrite tailings or streams from current operations, the primary products delivered through the new zero-waste, low-carbon bioleach processes specifically include: Mixed nickel/cobalt precipitate. Copper precipitate. On-site iron metal production via electrowinning or iron pellets for off-site conventional iron manufacturing or green steel making. Ammonium sulphate fertilizer. Additional minor by-products such as magnetite powder and geopolymers silica for construction material or mine backfill. The technology can also be adapted to recover precious metals and platinum group elements present in low grade pyrite feedstocks. BacTech is confident that the new IP enhances project value by enabling the production of multiple products previously unattainable through conventional bioleach processing. Zero or minimal waste from remediation operations also converts previously unusable land into valued assets. The core BacTech technology is described here: “We have a strong shareholder base,” Orr told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks (GSN) News. “One gentleman contacted me about nine years ago. He believes in our our vision and subsequently purchased 10 million shares. He has a network that he calls ‘The Millionaires Club’. About 60 of them purchased another 1 million plus shares. Some of those shares are in TFSA accounts for their grandkids. We are fortunate to have loyal long-term share-holders.” Click Image To View Full Size In November, 2023 BAC was granted its Consultation Permit. This approval allowed BacTech to move forward with plans to develop a bioleach processing facility in Tenguel, Ecuador. “With all major permits now secured and in place, BacTech will finalize the terms with Analytica Securities to launch the previously announced $US20M Green/Social bond issue to finance the construction of the bioleach plant at Tenguel,” reported BAC. “Of the total funds raised, approximately $17 million will be allocated to the capital portion of the bioleaching facility construction, with the remaining $3 million dedicated to financing the purchase of concentrates from local miners and supporting the local economy.” Click Image To View Full Size To ensure transparency and adhere to global best practices, BacTech launched its Sustainable Bond Framework for issuing Green and Social bonds, aligning with the International Capital Market Association’s (ICMA) Green Bond Principles (GBP) 2021 and Social Bond Principles (SBP) 2023. The company also received an independent Second Party Opinion (SPO) from Moody’s Investors Service, granting BacTech a Sustainability Quality Score of SQS2 (Very Good), recognizing the company’s significant contribution to sustainability. BAC intends to build a 50 tonne/day bioleach plant capable of treating high gold/arsenic material. Such a plant, processing feed with 1.75 ounces of gold per tonne, similar to what local miners provide, would yield approximately 31,000 ounces per year. The modular plant designs allow for expansion without disrupting ongoing production. BacTech has also signed an International Protection Agreement (“IPA”) with the government for a Phase 2 plant that would add 150-200 tpd of capacity, producing more than 100,000 ounces per annum. Part of the agreement calls for BacTech to be non-taxable for 12 years. Click Image To View Full Size “We have agreements in place with four Ecuadorian miners,” Orr told GSN. “These are not tiny artisanal miners. One of them has 400 employees. They currently sell to the Chinese, getting about 45-50 cents on the dollar for their gold content in the concentrates, depending on the arsenic levels.” “We think we can offer the local miners a much better deal, treating the concentrates domestically, removing the arsenic before it leaves Ecuador.” “The financial metrics on the Ecuador project are robust,” continued Orr. “We have a 12-year tax holiday. The feasibility study projects that, at $2,200/ounce gold, the annual profit will be equal to the capex of $17 million. Every $100/ounce rise in the price of gold adds a million dollars to the to the bottom line.” This area of Ecuador hosts over 100 small mines, and BacTech is actively exploring the possibility of establishing modern bioleaching facilities in other regions of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. The Accenture Global Institutional Investor Study of ESG in Mining surveyed decision-makers at 200 public and private institutional investment firms with mining assets in their portfolio valued at approximately US$847 billion. The survey revealed that 59% of investors want miners to aggressively pursue ESG initiatives, and 63% of investors would be willing to divest or avoid investing in mining companies that fail to meet ESG and decarbonization targets. MIRARCO (Mining Innovation, Rehabilitation, and Applied Research Corporation), has set up a pilot-scale bioleach circuit in Sudbury to conduct test work on BacTech’s technology. BacTech presents an opportunity for ESG investors to buy shares in an innovative mining-related company that is positioned to do good things for the environment while generating a profit.

Sokolovas a décrit le parcours technique: « Nous avons développé de manière rigoureuse dans le cadre architectural d'Apple. Notre équipe a travaillé sans relâche pour intégrer notre solution technique kevin. dans l'émulation de carte hôte (HCE) d'Apple, comprenant les normes de sécurité, la validation des transactions et bien plus encore pour créer une expérience transparente permettant aux utilisateurs des transactions à partir de leurs applications bancaires ou de portefeuille. » La Commission européenne continue de surveiller les retours des premiers développeurs comme kevin. tout en anticipant le démarrage officiel d'une mise en œuvre plus large du NFC.

Our team worked tirelessly to integrate our kevin. technical solution within Apple host card emulation (HCE), including security standards, transaction validation and so much more to create a seamless experience allowing users transactions from within their banking or wallet apps.” The European Commission continues to monitor feedback from early developers like kevin. while anticipating the official commencement of broader NFC implementation.
