Gaming Today Announces “Top 3 Prime Pick” NFL Bets for Games on Sunday, December 23
Top Prognosticators of Las Vegas-Based Sports Betting Weekly Give Away Their Best Picks Absolutely Free to Bettors Across Country
LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gaming Today, the iconic Las Vegas sports and gaming publication, has announced their “Top 3 Prime Pick” NFL bets for games played this Sunday, December 23. The sports betting weekly has been a staple of the Las Vegas market for over forty years and is available at virtually every major Las Vegas sportsbook, including the SuperBook at Westgate Resort.
Gaming Today is the most widely-distributed publication dedicated to providing readers the most comprehensive casino and sports betting information available. It is also nationally known for its annual NFL “Bookies Battle” contest, in which 45 renowned sports prognosticators from all over the country battle it out to prove they truly are the best at their craft.
“Sports betting is absolutely exploding across the country, and with it, the demand for information and insight to help the sports bettor make the best wagers possible. In the spirit of the holiday season, we decided to give everyone our ‘Top 3 Prime Pick’ bets for this Sunday’s NFL games,” said Howard Barish, Managing Editor and General Manager of Gaming Today. “Of course, if sports bettors would like to get even more prognostications and the best info available to help them make informed bets across all sports, they just need to go to GamingToday.com any time.”
The following are the “Top 3 Prime Pick” prognostications as provided by the staff of experts at Gaming Today:
*Bears at 49ers:* The 49ers have played well behind backup QB Nick Mullens and are off a pair of wins as their season winds down. Chicago has won seven of eight and will host a Playoff game, likely as the No. 3 seed in the Wild Card round. The offense has been more than pedestrian, but the defense has been the key to the Bears’ success. Eight of their 14 foes have scored 17 points or less. *UNDER 43*
*Steelers at Saints:* Pittsburgh scored a huge win last week by finally defeating their longtime nemesis, New England. Normally this would be a letdown spot for the Steelers, but a spot in the Playoffs are at stake. A win would clinch the AFC North if the Ravens lose to the Chargers on Saturday. New Orleans controls the top NFC seed, but there is plenty of leeway for a cover by the Steelers in a loss. Their past class should not be ignored. *STEELERS +6*
*Giants at Colts:* We just saw the Colts shut out the Cowboys by bottling up Zeke Elliott. The Colts are going to do the same thing to Saquon Barkley and force Eli Manning to throw more than he should. Giants fans must have tossed their cookies when Shurmur said Eli had years left. *COLTS -9**About Gaming Today:*
Established in 1976, Gaming Today has been a staple for sports and gaming bettors in Las Vegas and across the country. It is the nation’s only newspaper dedicated to providing valuable up-to-date information on the casino industry and pari-mutuel race wagering.

1933 Industries moving to boost Las Vegas monthly cannabidiol production capacity to 2,000 kilograms
Cannabis cultivator and producer 1933 Industries Inc said Thursday that it is taking steps to increase its Las Vegas capacity to produce cannabidiol extracts from its initial monthly target of 200 kilograms to an estimated 2,000 kilograms. The Vancouver-based company said in a release that it received local regulatory approval for new zoning and permitting for hazardous materials in Clark County, Nevada. The approval allows 1933 Industries to move ahead with plans to renovate a 12,160-square-foot building that will house a cannabis production facility as well as a cannabidiol lab. READ: 1933 Industries stokes Las Vegas capacity expansion in anticipation of medical and recreational cannabis product demand The company has already received an industrial hemp handler certificate from the Nevada Department of Agriculture. Plans call for the lab to process wholesale hemp-derived cannabidiol extracts, used to produce oils, distillates and isolates. "As pioneers in the cannabis industry in Nevada, we have the vision, resources, know-how and in-house talent to ensure a successful venture into this emerging and exciting field," Chris Rebentisch, USA chief operations officer and founder of Infused MFG, a 1933 Industries subsidiary, said in a statement. Shares of 1933 Industries climbed C$0.02 to C$0.38 in Thursday’s Canadian trading. They slipped US$0.01 to US$0.27 on the OTC Markets. Earlier this month, the company announced that it had been accepted for trading on the OTCQX, the top tier of the three marketplaces for over-the-counter stocks.

Los Cucos Mexican Restaurant Partners with the Houston Fire Department for Operation Stocking Stuffer, the HFD’s Annual Toy Drive
Los Cucos donates over 200 meals, as well as catering staff, to support Houston firefighters and volunteers during the Houston Fire Department’s annual toy drive
HOUSTON (PRWEB) December 20, 2018
Los Cucos Mexican Restaurant donates meals and catering services to the annual Operation Stocking Stuffer Toy Drive put on by the Houston Fire Department (HFD). Their hope is to give back to this large-scale community effort, and to spread joy to those who volunteer to help so many needy Houston families during the holiday season.
The Houston Fire Department’s annual Operation Stocking Stuffer Toy Drive collects toy donations from major sponsors each year. Financial sponsors include First Community Credit Union, Shell, Hess and more, while PODS donates the containers to store the thousands of donated toys. Operation Stocking Stuffer is also sponsored by local media groups, including KRBE, KPRC, and KSBJ. Their many sponsors make it possible for them to give back to struggling members of the Houston community in a big way. This year, the Houston Fire Department is providing toys for over 2,000 families. This massive event is only possible due to their numerous sponsors and the over 200 volunteers who give their time to help organize and hand out donations.
Owners of Los Cucos—Sergio Cabrera and Sergio Cabrera Jr.—are passionate about giving back to the Houston community, and have been food sponsors of Operation Stocking Stuffer since 2013. Each year, they provide a fajita buffet for the over 200 volunteers and firefighters who help make the toy drive a possibility. But Los Cucos doesn’t just provide fresh, mouth-watering fajitas. They also send their experienced catering staff to help pass out food.
About Los Cucos’ involvement in the toy drive, Houston Fire Department’s Communications Supervisor, Paul Box, said “The Cabrera Family and Los Cucos have been incredible supporters of the HFD’s Operation Stocking Stuffer Toy Drive for many years.” He also added, “The event would simply not be what it is without their involvement.” Los Cucos looks forward to furthering their philanthropic involvement with the Houston Fire Department for years to come. To learn more about Operation Stocking Stuffer, visit http://www.houstontx.gov/fire/toydrive/.
Operation Stocking Stuffer isn’t the only holiday toy drive Los Cucos is participating in this year. With locations in Utah, Texas and Nevada, they are able to outreach into many local communities throughout the southwest. Just recently Los Cucos Las Vegas collaborated with Las Vegas Fire and Rescue to donate toys to Toys for Tots. To learn more about Los Cucos and their extensive community involvement, visit loscucos.com.

Gentex Tech to be Featured on Rinspeed’s microSNAP Autonomous Vehicle Concept at CES
· *Gentex has provided technology for the latest autonomous concept vehicle from Swiss car design powerhouse, Rinspeed*
· *microSNAP features Gentex’s biometrics, in-cabin monitoring and dimmable glass technologies*
· *microSNAP debuts next month at CES 2019 in Las Vegas*
ZEELAND, Mich., Dec. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), a leading supplier of digital vision, connected car, dimmable glass, and fire protection products, recently integrated multiple technologies for microSNAP, the latest concept vehicle from automotive think tank Rinspeed, which formulates vehicle designs intended to inspire the transportation industry and promote future mobility systems.
Last year at CES 2018, Rinspeed launched Snap, a concept vehicle that allowed users to summon a vehicle-sized chassis or “skateboard” that docked with personalized passenger “pods” to autonomously drive users to work, shopping, camping, or anywhere they wanted to go.
This year at CES, Rinspeed is demonstrating a downsized Snap offshoot dubbed microSNAP, a “last mile” vehicle designed for commuting and/or localized, just-in-time delivery.
For microSNAP, Gentex provided its biometric iris-scanning system for occupant recognition, an interior cabin monitoring system, and dimmable glass window elements.
Gentex’s iris-scanning system consists of a small module housing near-infrared emitters, an iris-scanning camera, and system-level intelligence. It would serve to authenticate microSNAP passengers, authorize vehicle usage, track and assign ride payment, and deliver customized security, comfort, and convenience features. It would also sanction safe, secure access to a host of cloud-based, connected vehicle services.
Gentex’s future cabin monitoring system would consist of a camera and environmental sensors that could monitor passenger activity and well-being along with vehicle hygiene and air quality. System intelligence would alter vehicle operation and send alerts and notifications according to detected in-vehicle events. It could help ensure that passengers were properly restrained, that they exited the vehicle at their designated location, that they didn’t smoke in or vandalize the vehicle, and that they didn’t leave behind any belongings.
To help ensure passenger privacy, Gentex provided microSNAP with dimmable glass panels that darken on demand or in conjunction with sensor function. They can even assist the climate control system in maintaining a consistent temperature by darkening according to temperature and sun load sensors.
microSNAP debuts January at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show), the world’s gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technology. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association™, it has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for over 50 years. This year’s show runs January 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The original Snap concept was so well received when it was launched just a year ago that a startup is now on the drawing boards, and talks with investors are underway, to put a version of “Snap” on the road.
*About Gentex**
*Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation (The NASDAQ Global Select Market: GNTX) is a supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and electronics to the automotive industry, dimmable aircraft windows for aviation markets, and fire protection products to the fire protection market.

ALKM To Benefit from Passing of U.S. Farm Bill - Well Prepared for CBD Surge
*LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 21, 2018 / *Alkame Holdings Inc. (OTC PINK: ALKM), along with its wholly owned subsidiary Bell Food and Beverage, Inc. are pleased to see the passing of the Farm Bill.On the 20th Day of December 2018, President Donald Trump signed the U.S. Farm Bill into law. The Farm Bill overall is a $867 billion-dollar bill that deals with several agricultural issues, including the legalization of industrial hemp. The Bill changes the entire landscape around hemp going forward, as industrial hemp is no longer considered a Schedule 1 federal drug and has been removed from the federal governments list of controlled substances, making it a lawful cultural commodity. Producers of industrial hemp extract non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD, meaning it does not give users a "high" effect, and is quickly becoming synonymous with good health. CBD has been credited with assisting with a host of medical issues such managing anxiety, stress, pain and other ailments, and is now found in a range of products from beverages and food items, to health and beauty products. The passing of the Farm bill allows for the commercial sale of hemp derived products with less than 0.3 percent THC (the psychoactive compound found in Marijuana).
Alkame has been a pioneer in this industry for years and is now one of the country's leading CBD beverage manufacturers. Alkame's wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, Bell Food & Beverage, will see immediate effects in this burgeoning hemp industry, allowing Bell to produce and ship products across the country with far more certainty and greater clarification regarding the legality of interstate commerce.
"This is great news for the plethora of CBD products and brands, as well as the retail and distribution networks that have been waiting for the rules pertaining to Hemp to be clearly defined on a national level. With these road blocks now removed, there couldn't be a better time to enter this exploding space," states Alkame CEO, Robert Eakle. Eakle continues, "As a pioneer and leading producer in the CBD beverage industry for quite some time, we are well prepared and have planned ahead in anticipation of its passage by updating our facility and massively increasing our capabilities throughout 2018. In order to accommodate the anticipated growth we've added a new high speed line in conjunction with our original hot and cold fill production lines on the campus, in house lab and formulation, and an endless array of product possibilities. We couldn't be more excited or better positioned to accommodate and assist many more clients in entering this new and emerging sector", and we very much look forward to what's in store for us throughout 2019."
Bell Food and Beverage is a leading manufacturer of natural, organic, specialty food and beverage products, both with and without CBD. Bell utilizes the parent company Alkame's patented water technology. The technology allows for liquid-based products to use an alkaline water base that is not only oxygenated but also micro clustered. Typically, when CBD is consumed as an oil, you only benefit from a small percentage of the ingested amount due to its rather large molecule size. The rest is naturally expelled by your body. Alkame technology allows for water to be infused with CBD using our micro-clustering process and encapsulating the CBD into a water-based formula making it an elite and ideal delivery mechanism for CBD with 100% benefit and significantly increased bio-availability.
"Our product line is extensive. CBD beverages such as waters both natural and flavored, energy drinks, hangover drinks, lemonades, teas, coffees, adult drink mixes and more, to health and beauty products such as lotions, creams, tinctures, salves, and balms, to food items such as CBD enhanced salsas, sauces, condiments and the list goes on," states Bell Food and Beverage, Inc. President Craig Kaufman. Kaufman goes on to say "We are one of the pioneers of this space and we have been in this sector for quite some time, establishing ourselves as a major producer of quality, THC free CBD products. Our patented water technology has certainly given us a strong foothold and head start in this space, and the passage of the Farm Bill has really created a tremendous opportunity for us that we have been preparing for.
