The Company With A Big Smile This Black Friday

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

Read The Latest Report About Brüush. Brüush Oral Care Inc. (NASDAQ: BRSH) is back - after a strong Thanksgiving weekend, the leading electric toothbrush company announced record revenue, with over $500,000 of revenues for the month of November, representing year-over-year growth of over 50%. The long, post-Thanksgiving weekend stretching from Black Friday to Cyber Monday is a frenetic time for shops and shoppers alike. Spending totaled $188 billion in 2020, and with things back to normal this year, consumer activity is returning to pre-pandemic levels. In response to modern consumer needs, much Black Friday sales activity has moved online - with a record-breaking $9.12 billion spent online this year - and Brüush is riding this digital market wave. The Vancouver-based toothbrush company, boasting a cutting-edge product and strong online presence, saw one of its strongest weekends of sales in company history this Thanksgiving. Brüush sells top-of-the-line electric toothbrushes and is looking to become a leader in an oral care market worth $33.7 billion. The company, which already has a big smile over its partnership with comedian Kevin Hart, is delighted with this significant weekend of sales and record numbers of Brüush subscriptions and individual purchases. Brüushing Ahead This Black Friday Brüush can be proud of a strong weekend with record revenue from sales that provide significant growth for the company. The company believes that it is poised to become a leading provider of oral hygiene products going forward. As well as its strong individual kit sales, the company saw a boom in its subscription service, with 35,000 subscribers versus 28,000 before its IPO in August. The company’s individual toothbrush kits come with an electric brush and 3 replaceable heads, while its highly affordable subscription service provides 3 replacement heads every 6 months for only $21.60. Brüush’s mid-range pricing - with kits starting at only $80 - makes its brushes an attractive option compared with competitors. These include electric brushes from Oral B, owned by Procter and Gamble (NYSE: PG) and Koninklijke Philips ’ (NYSE: PHG) product, Sonicare. Along with its affordable price tag, Brüush offers a premium product that it claims gives the best teeth cleaning in the market. The Brüush brushes at 42,000 strokes per minute - compared with the average electric brush that brushes just 30,000 times - and removes over 20% more plaque than a manual brush. Its batteries last an industry-leading 4 weeks on a single charge, and the brushes have a 2-year warranty, though the company is confident it won’t be needed. The mid-range prices that provide top-quality oral hygiene results - along with savvy digital marketing - make Brüush popular among millennials, with 18-45-year-olds forming the largest segment of the company's customer base. Building on its resounding Thanksgiving successes, Brüush reports it will be launching a range of oral hygiene products in 2023 to complement its toothbrushes, including a line of toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and more.

Venus Protocol Partners with PancakeSwap to Deliver Instant Token Swaps

Venus Protocol

Two of the largest dApps on BNB Chain, Venus Protocol and PancakeSwap, have joined forces to deliver seamless token swap functionality on the leading DeFi crypto borrow/lend protocol. The first of our two-part integration has been completed with one-click repay functionality on the way. As part of Venus’s v4 upgrade, this integration brings greater convenience and efficiency to users and is the first-of-its-kind integration in DeFi. Let’s go through the benefits of this new functionality in more detail. What is PancakeSwap? PancakeSwap is a non-custodial platform on BNB Chain for exchange and profitable farming using BEP-20 standard tokens. PancakeSwap has its own CAKE token and is similar to Uniswap and SushiSwap. But compared to these Ethereum exchanges, PancakeSwap has faster transactions and lower fees. The platform uses an automated market maker (AMM) model to service trading operations. This means that PancakeSwap does not employ the usual order book to issue exchange requests. Instead, exchange trading is carried out within the liquidity pool, which is filled by the users themselves. In return, they receive Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens, which are needed to generate income from trading fees, farming, and others. PancakeSwap has been audited by CertiK and is integrated with all of its security tools: Security Oracle, CertiKShield DeepSEA, and the CertiK Virtual Machine. The site has also passed the Slowmist security audit. After passing these checks, PancakeSwap has not only built trust with users but also proven its ability to overcome some of the most obvious vulnerabilities. What does Venus Protocol’s integration with PancakeSwap mean for users? Joining forces with PancakeSwap makes Venus Protocol the first protocol to provide crypto borrowing and lending with the ability to swap tokens from the same UI with a single click. This is a huge leap in user experience and functionality that has never been seen before in DeFi. By adding the integration to the Venus Protocol user interface, users will no longer have to migrate out of Venus Protocol to use PancakeSwap to swap tokens. If a user sees an APY token and wants to add exposure, they can simply swap one of the tokens they already hold and supply it to Venus Protocol without leaving the comfort of Venus’s UI. The integration helps users save on gas fees because they are able to make every exchange with a single click instead of transferring their assets to a wallet, then exchanging them and re-depositing them to the Venus Protocol. In addition, they will be able to use these instant exchanges to deposit assets or, for example, pay off a loan. One giant leap toward a bigger upgrade Venus is thrilled to be adding the PancakeSwap integration to our user interface. This partnership means greater convenience and efficiency for Venus Protocol users and a more reliable source of income as Venus Protocol will participate in the revenue generated using PancakeSwap for all transactions sourced through Venus. The partnership with PancakeSwap is part of a larger Venus Protocol upgrade, aimed at providing offerings that mitigate user challenges and uncertainty in DeFi. Venus Protocol (“Venus”) is an algorithmic-based money market system designed to bring a complete decentralized finance-based lending and credit system onto Binance Smart Chain. Venus enables users to utilize their cryptocurrencies by supplying collateral to the network that may be borrowed by pledging over-collateralized cryptocurrencies. This creates a secure lending environment where the lender receives a compounded interest rate annually (APY) paid per block, while the borrower pays interest on the cryptocurrency borrowed. These interest rates are set by the protocol in a curve yield, where the rates are automated based on the demand of the specific market, such as Bitcoin. The difference of Venus from other money market protocols is the ability to use the collateral supplied to the market not only to borrow other assets but also to mint synthetic stablecoins with over-collateralized positions that protect the protocol. These synthetic stablecoins are not backed by a basket of fiat currencies but by a basket of cryptocurrencies. Venus utilizes the Binance Smart chain for fast, low-cost transactions while accessing a deep network of wrapped tokens and liquidity This post contains sponsored advertising content.

FatBrain AI Is Working To Mitigate COVID Concerns Over The Holidays

FatBrAin

Doctors are urging the public to be extra careful over the next few months as we approach our third pandemic holiday season. Although domestic and global pandemic mandates have eased and most countries have returned to business as usual, some doctors are fearing a seasonal surge. In Europe, cases are starting to climb again and the World Health Organization is warning that a new wave of infections could be on its way. The need to protect against COVID is still incredibly high. There is much the scientific community does not know about the novel virus. SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to attack the body in a variety of ways, causing damage to the lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Long COVID is a phenomenon that doctors are still figuring out and it might be years until research can definitively explain all the nuances of the virus. Masks and testing are effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID but accessing risk data is just as critical. While there is state-level data, until recently there has not been consistent local data for citizens to rely on. High-level data is important to know, but it often lacks actionability for individuals and families on the local level. FatBrain AI (LZG International, Inc.) ( OTCQB: LZGI ) (“FatBrain”), a leading provider of powerful and easy-to-use AI solutions to empower the star enterprises of tomorrow in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow, innovate, and drive the majority of the global economy, is looking to change this. FatBrain reports it has created an advanced math and epidemic modeling system that provides clarity about the individual risk that American people face daily. FatBrain’s CovidRisk.Live app quantifies the COVID-19 risks of a local community by looking at the viral transmission rate, daily active cases, and government policies and countermeasures in your zip code. All of this information is used to create an easy-to-consume score or threat level (severe, high, elevated, guarded, low). The scale was modeled after the scale developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to communicate the probability of foreign attacks. “[Now], anyone can get clarity on whether they or their family and friends face a severe risk, low risk, or somewhere in between for COVID-19 within their community,” shares Peter B. Ritz, CEO of FatBrain AI, “CovidRisk.Live helps minimize the confusion and provides everyone with a simple, consumable, explainable, and quantifiable way to see the threat level within their community. This capability is critical as each of us can use this tool to exercise personal agency to influence the impact of active policies for the broader community outcomes. COVID-19 is not like an asteroid or an earthquake where we are helpless — rather together we can win, guided by using CovidRisk.Live and similar tools to bolster smart cooperation.” Families and business owners have a tool at their disposal to assess their community's risk going into the third pandemic winter. While it doesn’t seem like COVID is going away anytime soon, apps like FatBrain’s CovidRisk.Live help provide the public with the necessary information to make informed decisions about health and safety. To check out your zip code's COVID risk level, visit www.fatBrain.ai/covid-risk-live/ FatBrain AI (LZG International, Inc.; OTC: LZGI) is the first and leading provider of powerful and easy-to-use AI solutions to millions of businesses of tomorrow driving the majority of the global economy, empowering them to grow, innovate faster and savemoney.
