INSP Has Greenlit a 3rd Season of the Taylor Hicks Hosted Culinary-Travel Series State Plate
Indian Land, SC, March 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
For immediate release
*INSP Has Greenlit a 3^rd Season of the **Taylor Hicks Hosted Culinary-Travel Series State Plate*
(*Indian Land, SC – March 20, 2018*) General entertainment television network INSP has greenlit a 3^rd season of its popular original culinary-travel series *State Plate*, hosted by former American Idol winner, musician, and restauranteur Taylor Hicks. Doug Butts, SVP of Programming for INSP, made the announcement.
“With season 3 we will achieve our original goal of featuring all 50 states,” said Butts. “Beginning with the very first episodes in 2016, reaction from people across the country has been very positive. Viewers took great pride in seeing their state featured, and they enjoyed going on this journey with charismatic host Taylor Hicks, who made learning about the history of regional and local foods interesting and fun.”
In this season of *State Plate*, Taylor Hicks continues his quest to assemble the perfect state plate – representing their most historic, famous and tastiest dishes. For two years, he has crisscrossed America visiting farms, ranches, markets, and festivals to uncover the stories and legends behind each state’s unique food traditions. This season, he will sample a kalua pig in Hawaii, an ice cream potato in Idaho, an elk filet in Wyoming, and all manner of other items, as he tastes his way through the final 14 states of his epic journey. It’s a heaping helping of America’s most beloved cuisine, rich in history, folklore, and flavor.
The premiere date for the third season of *State Plate*, which will include 14 episodes, will be announced soon.* *
*State Plate* is produced by RIVR Media.
What the critics have said about Taylor Hicks and State Plate

The platinum-selling musician and former American Idol winner has been traveling the country to spotlight some of his favorite dishes for State Plate, a food-travel show on the INSP television network.” -USA Today
“Tasked with uncovering the stories behind the country’s most popular dishes, Hicks travels far and wide to farms, festivals and into the kitchens of some of the nation’s best cooks to learn about their homemade recipes.” –Parade.com
“Imagine a plate full of the best food a state hast to offer. That’s exactly what Taylor Hicks is serving up on *State Plate* on the INSP network.”
-Eat. Drink. Mississippi
“If you haven’t seen “State Plate,” you are missing a fun and educational treat with the lovable host Taylor Hicks, former “American Idol” winner and platinum-selling entertainer.”

Virtual Reality Test Drives Come to NADA 2018 with FlowFound
FlowFound brings virtual reality test drives and augmented reality displays for the automotive industry to Las Vegas Convention Center March 22nd - 25th, 2018
ATLANTA (PRWEB) March 21, 2018
FlowFound is bringing virtual reality test drives and augmented reality banners to NADA 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV from March 22nd – 25th, 2018.
Attendees can visit booth #5171C to virtually test drive new model features via their phone or VR headset and experience self-driving safety, performance and leading features of various auto manufacturers.
Customers can fall in love with their new vehicle before driving through virtual and augmented reality while FlowFound’s platform, VanguardVR, collects data about which technology helps sell and service cars while leveraging the emerging $1.75 trillion in mobility, self-driving and data collection opportunities for car dealerships and manufacturers.
They provide the exclusive platform where customers can virtually test drive or experience the self-driving safety, performance and features resulting in significantly better volume and margin on car sales for dealers. They certify this system across franchised US car dealer websites and collect extensive in-market data based on behaviors in both augmented and virtual reality activities within the vehicle buying process to deliver targeted advertisements based on in-app behaviors (AR) or product recognition heatmaps (VR).
Their RevelAR augmented reality platform includes AR window stickers highlighting vehicle specific features, personalized offers, and unlockable benefits for customers for specific stores.
Augmented banners work across any channel of marketing to personalize offers and collect in-market behaviors, while encouraging fun customer interactions to enhance their buying preferences and profiles to ultimately improve the in-store experience and save time for both the dealer and buyer.
“Over 500,000 people bought the idea of a Tesla Model3. We’d like to bring more than their promises and perceived in-store experience to the reality of 17,000 dealers nationwide, each with vehicles with many of those same compelling features and all with real vehicles you can drive off the lot today,” said Nick Cybela, CEO of FlowFound and previous head of digital for a national auto group of over 100 stores.

HQ Global Education, Inc. is in final negotiations to purchase a customized, state-of-the-art CBD extraction machine to be housed in Hemp, Inc.’s multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North Carolina, as announced in their press release yesterday.Hemp, Inc.’s long-term strategy is to build the world’s largest hemp oil extraction infrastructure by creating joint ventures with multiple companies to house and operate their CBD extraction equipment in its 85,000-square foot multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina. The hemp industry is projected to grow 700% and hit $1.8 billion by 2020, according to Hemp Business Journal.
In August 2017, Hemp, Inc. announced the official launch of its NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor. On Nov. 2, 2017, Hemp, Inc. announced the delivery of its advanced CBD hemp oil extraction post-processing equipment, thus completing the Company's hemp oil extraction infrastructure. Hemp, Inc. announced its consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc. on March 13, 2018. The agreement between Hemp, Inc. and HQ Global Education, Inc. is the first step toward executing Hemp, Inc.’s strategic plan to have a joint venture between the two companies wherein Hemp, Inc. will house and operate an HQ Global Education, Inc. CBD extractor.
HQ Global Education, Inc.’s exclusive educational database is one of the largest and valuable resources in the industry, reporting on thousands of hours of research that have been accumulated, tested and verified by professionals in the field. HQGE’s proprietary CBD database is a primary source of highly coveted up-to-date information required by CBD manufacturers, distributors and researchers in order to create the proper strains for their formulations.
Per the consulting agreement in cooperation with Hemp, Inc., HQ Global Education, Inc. intends to become a leading provider of the highest-quality customizable extractions of CBD oil to this rapidly growing industry. During this first year, HQGE will be deriving its income from two main sources: sales of high quality customized CBD formulations and subscription-based revenues from its exclusive CBD database generated by its proprietary web crawler.
“The business synergies that will be realized between Hemp, Inc. and HQ Global Education, Inc. through this consultant agreement are paramount to our ongoing efforts to identify and align with strategic partners that will allow us to meet the rapidly growing demand for hemp-derived CBD oil and other products,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “HQGE will also be working directly with Hemp, Inc. to grow its own hemp beginning in the 2018 growing season. This will provide them with their own product to process in addition to what it sources from other farmers across the country.”
Perlowin continued, “Hemp, Inc. will share with HQ Global Education, Inc. our proven expertise in the areas of growing high-quality organically-grown CBD-rich hemp, harvesting, extracting and creating a variety of high-end CBD products for its business and partnerships in the industry.”
CBDs and industrial hemp are on the rise to the top (per price/per pound) and will keep trending up according to Perlowin as he spoke to a large audience at Cannatech, which concluded yesterday in Tel Aviv, Israel. Perlowin was one of many speakers at one of the most innovative international summits, *Cannatech Tel Aviv 2018: The Big Picture,* that was held March 19-20, 2018. (To see one-minute video clips of Bruce Perlowin speaking, visit Perlowin’s personal Facebook page and scroll down to March 18-20, 2018.) The event included incredible presentations from the biggest thought leaders of this industry. Perhaps one of the highest profile advocates for medical cannabis was Montel Williams, Emmy Award winning television personality, inspirational speaker, author, entrepreneur, and advocate for patients worldwide. He has used medical cannabis products to effectively manage the symptoms of his Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since his diagnosis with the disease in 1999.
The *Cannatech Tel Aviv 2018: The Big Picture* international event* *provided unparalleled networking opportunities for Hemp, Inc. In fact, Charles Pollack, a medicinal cannabis expert was quoted describing Cannatech in a recent Rolling Stone interview, “The seriousness with which the Israeli scientific community approaches this is incomparable. Israel is a hotbed of quality cannabis research because they have much more favorable regulatory climate for doing serious scientific research on medical cannabis.” More upcoming international events are listed below.
