Las Vegas, NV, April 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StereoVision Entertainment Inc (OTC:SVSN) a publicly traded Nevada company announced today that their majority-owned medical cannabis and organic hemp subsidiary, CannaVision, has signed a J/V agreement with Wray, Colorado’s Mr. Hemp, Michael Bowman, and the Bowman Family Farm for 400 irrigated farming acres with an active hemp farming permit.

“We’re very fortunate to have secured this J/V with Michael Bowman dubbed, “Mr. Hemp” by United States Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack,” (https://www.dopemagazine.com/mr-hemp/) said CannaVision’s COO Steven Previch. “While we're standing by at the ready waiting for our hemp farming permits for the farming acreage we’ve secured in Puerto Rico, with the Bowman Family Farms J/V we’re now fully licensed and permitted for hemp farming. As with the farmland J/V’s we’ve secured in Puerto Rico, the Bowman Family Farms J/V calls for CannaVision to advance the cost of planting and bringing the 400 acres of hemp to harvest while Bowman Family Farm’s is managing everything from seed to market. CannaVision is to recover all of its costs from the first funds in and then it is a 50-50 split on all forms of revenue. With this business model, CannaVision has no upfront costs for the purchase or lease of irrigated farmlands. An added value in this J/V is the Bowman's unparalleled knowledge and experience in the industrial hemp industry.”

“With United States Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wanting to legalize hemp by removing it from the controlled substances list,” Previch concluded, “the mainstream commercialization of hemp products in America could soon begin in earnest,” http://www.chicagotribune.com/la-na-mcconnell-hemp-20180328-story.html

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions’ (REFG) ‘Green’ Sees Dramatic Increase in Applications Since March 16 Launch on Take.green Website

LAS VEGAS, April 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  via NetworkWire –* Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions *(REFG), a Nevada corporation specializing in state-of-the-art financial services structured to serve the medical cannabis and banking industries, announced today that state-licensed marijuana establishments may sign up via its website for its banking and financial processing system.  The company, which has been working with targeted establishments, has now made its services available to the entire industry.“We are very excited that the amount of online applications has exceeded our expectations,” said Jeremy Roberts, CEO of Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions. “We are excited to bring our services to the industry and to bring increased value to our shareholders.”

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC:REFG) offers a proprietary, completely integrated payment solution for customers and licensed medical cannabis establishments in its Green platform. The advantage of this top-tier, level one gateway payment processing system is that it is simple and free to set up. It creates a cash-free transaction environment with electronic money management (http://nnw.fm/CzoN3). Web traffic has increased dramatically for the company since it began allowing merchants to sign up directly on the Green website (http://nnw.fm/6OqLf), making the process quick and easy to initiate and use and revealing the market demand for an efficient, cannabis-focused electronic transaction solution.

Green is not a gift card or reloadable card. Rather, it permits customers and patients to link directly to a checking account at any United States bank. Through Green, cannabis customers and patients can purchase electronically rather than with cash. While Visa and MasterCard are not accepted due to their prohibitions against any financial transactions involving federally controlled substances, Green enables medical cannabis buyers to purchase at licensed establishments using funds directly from their bank accounts. For vendors, Green not only processes those payments in this virtual banking system but can also manage funds. The platform additionally offers money management features for businesses, including payroll, bill paying and other business transactions.

Green is personalized to businesses. The cards can be branded to individual establishments and even have logos on them. An app invites customers to sign up at point-of-sale on an iPad at a merchant’s shop. That app can be customized to a vendor’s brand. The potential result is more repeat and loyalty purchases. Further, Green is available to customers who wish to purchase straight from their bank accounts.

Green is offered to multi-location, high-volume operations as well as to small, low-volume merchants. Green offers complete adherence to reporting systems to maintain merchant compliance. In terms of security, REFG and Green offer electronic security for both customers and merchants alike, securing cash handling and even providing armored cash pickups, if necessary. “As we’ve stated in previous announcements, we continue to believe our best-in-class security, regulatory compliance and pricing give us a huge competitive advantage,” added Mr. Roberts.  “Today, the banking and financial processing problems in the state-sanctioned cannabis industry are no more.”

*About Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions: *Our mission is to provide end-to-end management, across multiple management systems, for medicinal marijuana operations. Many medicinal marijuana companies have experienced such rapid growth that they are finding it difficult to manage all aspects of their operation. In order to become a successful and compliant medicinal marijuana operation, effective management must depend on many different systems. REFG solves the fragmentation problem by identifying tools that are important to dispensaries, and customizing those tools specifically to the industry. We strive to create awareness within the medicinal marijuana industry and to develop an environmentally friendly, economically sustainable business while increasing shareholder value.

Over the years, OpenAire’s precision-engineered solutions have provided year-round outdoor-style spaces and won praise not just from clients and their customers, but also from leading industry reviewers. From Monday, April 9 to Wednesday, April 11, 2018, OpenAire will showcase these award-winning retractable roof designs, as well as its many design capabilities, at the annual DEAL (Dubai Entertainment and Leisure) Show at the Dubai World Trade Center in Dubai, UAE. Visitors to DEAL 2018 can find OpenAire at Booth Z2-122. OpenAire and its clients have received many awards and recognitions for their excellence. Here are only a few awards that our clients’ facilities have received in the past few years.At the end of February 2018, three waterparks that feature custom OpenAire retractable enclosures were ranked among the top eight waterparks in the United States. *Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark* in Grand Prairie, Texas, was named number five on Travel Channel’s list of “8 Most Incredible Indoor Water Parks” in the United States, only a few months after the 80,000-sq.-ft. park opened to the public. Two other waterparks that feature OpenAire enclosures also earned places on Travel Channel’s rankings: *Kalahari Resorts and Conventions Pocono Mountains* in Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania, listed at number two; and *WaTiki Indoor Waterpark Resort* in Rapid City, South Dakota, listed at number seven. Epic Waters also ranked number two on Texas Hill Country’s list of “Top 5 Indoor Water Parks in Texas.”

Aquatic parks are not the only venues that have won awards with OpenAire designs. The Refinery Hotel’s Refinery Rooftop bar in New York City’s Garment District has earned a total of five awards for its unique rooftop retractable roof and enclosure design, most recently the rank of number one hotel rooftop bar in the United States by USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards in 2017. This is the second time The Refinery Rooftop has won the top place in this award, the first being in 2015. The Refinery Hotel opened the beautiful retractable enclosure from OpenAire in 2013. The Refinery Rooftop Bar has also won a Restaurant & Bar Design Award in 2014, the SBID International Design Award for Hotel Design in 2015, and a spot on The Telegraph’s Top 10 Best Hotels in Manhattan in 2016.

Meanwhile, the *City of Grand Prairie*, TX was also awarded the National Recreation and Parks Association’s (NRPA) prestigious 2017 Gold Medal Award. The NRPA Gold Medal Award recognizes communities across the United States that have demonstrated “excellence in long-range planning, resource management and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services.” Grand Prairie and its residents have been committed to ambitious parks planning for many years, developing over 5,000 acres of park space to date. OpenAire’s work on Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark helped Grand Prairie secure the Gold Medal, demonstrating a sustainable, energy efficient and community-oriented design style. The structure lets in sunshine and fresh air year-round, creating a warm summer atmosphere for guests and saving energy costs by up to 27% yearly. OpenAire is very pleased that the NRPA and thousands of others have recognized the advantages of this progressive-thinking building style.

Recently, one of OpenAire’s unique installations became part of an award-winning Royal Caribbean cruise liner. *Royal Caribbean’s Quantum-series cruise ships* chose OpenAire to design attractive retractable roof and walls/windows to shelter their upper-deck pool and bar, adding an awe-inspiring feature to guests’ experiences. The second liner to feature OpenAire’s enclosure, Anthem of the Seas, was voted Cruise Hive magazine’s Best New Cruise Ship of 2015 by a majority of readers. Since then, OpenAire has completed an enclosure for Ovation of the Seas and is currently working on the fourth ship, Spectrum of the Seas.

The *Gusto 101* diner in Toronto’s trendy Fashion District began its life as an abandoned industrial auto body shop. The restaurant’s owners wanted to create a diner atmosphere that was retro yet innovative. OpenAire offered them just the right solution: a telescoping all-glass retractable skylight and enclosure for the restaurant’s rooftop patio. This stylish design caught the attention of Hospitality Design (HD) Magazine, which “[honors] the achievements of superior design and architecture in spaces around the globe.” HD’s panel of industry experts chose Gusto 101 as the 2013 winner for Best Restaurant Design (Casual/Quick Service). It’s a distinction that hundreds of satisfied guests agree with.

In 2015, Etobicoke, Ontario’s landmark pool hall and restaurant *The Crooked Cue* was looking for a way to revitalize its location. OpenAire offered the solution they needed with a double-sloped, 20 ft x 48 ft skylight that retracts completely off the opening, allowing for direct sunshine and fresh air that turns the pool hall and restaurant into an outdoor patio. OpenAire’s team also collaborated with the owners to create a new interior design. The renovated and decorated restaurant and pool hall reopened and caught the attention of two major Canadian TV networks, TSN and the CBC, who each awarded The Crooked Cue a place on their lists of “Canada’s Top Pool Halls” for its great atmosphere and entertainment. The new enclosure proved so successful that The Crooked Cue installed another, identical skylight over the other half of its upper floor in 2016.

Since our first project, OpenAire has been dedicated to exceeding expectations and delivering the very best solutions. Our customized retractable roofs and enclosure designs are built to match our clients’ unique specifications and needs, providing energy efficiency, durable engineering, and awe-inspiring architecture. The fact that our work has helped our clients earn prestigious awards from around the world is the greatest honour we could receive. We hope that our next award-winning project can be for you!

nablet, a leading provider of media analysis and processing technologies, has released v2 of its H.264 encoder for XAVC family and Ultra HD formats. The new version includes numerous performance optimizations, especially for multi-core processors.

AACHEN, Germany (PRWEB) April 05, 2018

nablet, a leading provider of media analysis and processing technologies, announced today that it has released v2 of its H.264 encoder for XAVC family and Ultra HD formats. The new version includes numerous performance optimizations, especially for multi-core processors.

“We spent thousands of man-hours optimizing our H.264 encoder, which was an especially complex task for systems with many cores” said Sergey Grigoriev, Chief Scientist at nablet. “The new v2 is a great step forward. It provides up to 30 percent better performance on XAVC LongG encoding than other encoders on the market, at the same or better quality. We have already started implementing AVX512, which will give us even more room for optimization in 2018.”

The nablet H.264 encoder v2 features:·     Greatly optimized multithreading
·     Highly optimized LongG encoding
·     Many new AVX and AVX2 optimizations
·     Updated XAVC profile support
·     Additional support for Panasonic formats

More and more leading companies in broadcasting and related industries are switching to the nablet XAVC codec. A growing list of nablet customers can be seen at http://www.nablet.com/clients.

Users of Avid Media Composer can already make use of the encoder’s improved LongGOP encoding, included in the latest release of the nablet XAVC XDCAM AMA plugin.

Demo versions are available by e-mailing info@nablet.com.

nablet will be exhibiting at the 2018 NAB Show, April 9-12 in Las Vegas, in booth SU13713.
