Israel’s First & Largest Cannabis Company Launches in Nevada
The United States will experience a wellness revolution through a new line of clinically-proven, proprietary cannabis products from Tikun Olam, a premier science based cannabis provider rooted in the world capital of medical cannabis: Israel. Following the success of their pilot program in Delaware, and uniquely positioned to revolutionize health & wellness for the nation, the groundbreaking medical and adult use lifestyle brand, Tikun™, will continue its U.S. expansion with a launch throughout Nevada in April 2017.
Israel has been at the forefront of medical cannabis research since 1964, when Professor Raphael Mechoulam, considered the “Father of Cannabis” headed the team that first isolated THC and later discovered that THC interacts with the largest receptor system in the human body- the endocannabinoid system. These medical advances spurred Tikun Olam to launch as Israel’s first medical cannabis provider in 2007.
Tikun Olam continues to lead the way with groundbreaking research, patient care, strain genetics, agronomy and advanced extraction techniques in the global cannabis field. They established the first professionally staffed clinic dedicated to helping patients medicate properly through precise dosage and specific strains. This resulted in the world’s first and largest database of patient feedback which guided the development of life improving strains for specific symptoms. This patient feedback also led to the development of a high-CBD strain,Avidekel™, acclaimed as “highless marijuana” by Reuters and a revolutionary step in the therapeutic use of cannabis.
“Tikun Olam is the gold standard for pharmaceutical grade medical cannabis production in both Israel and Canada. The US cannabis market is becoming more sophisticated, looking beyond high-THC content to demand medically-proven, quality products for therapeutic cannabis use as part of a healthy lifestyle,” according to Bernard Sucher, CEO of T.O. Global LLC. “We are confident that entering the medical and adult-use U.S. market with a genuine approach to health and wellness, will position Tikun for a successful expansion where regulated markets exist.”
Known as “Tikun™” in the United States, the intellectual property, cultivation methodologies, scientific collaboration, and overall best practices of Tikun Olam, will be utilized in production with their licensed partners CW Nevada LLC. The products will initially be launched at CW Nevada’s dispensaries and then rolled out to other dispensaries throughout the state. Tikun’s products will be available in flower, vape cartridges, topical creams, tinctures and edibles through six unique strains derived from the Israeli catalog of sixteen. According to Tikun Olam’s patient testimonials, their strains have shown a marked improvement in the overall quality of life for 85% of patients treated, as well as alleviating symptoms related to Crohn’s, Colitis, Parkinson’s, PTSD, AIDS and Cancer, just to name a few.
Tikun’s strains range from Alaska™, a high-THC sativa, known for its uplifting and invigorating qualities, to several high-THC indica strains such as Erez™, Or™, and Eran Almog™, known to be exceptional for pain management and the relief of various health conditions. The most revolutionary strains in the Tikun catalogue are Midnight™, created on a balanced 1:1 ratio of THC & CBD, likely to be popular among those looking for a daytime, mild effect; and Avidekel, the first ever high-CBD strain in the world, cultivated by Tikun Olam five years ago and named as more effective than generic CBD in clinical studies throughout Jerusalem.
In the coming years, Tikun plans to continue building upon the patient trusted heritage that has defined their innovative leadership within the burgeoning cannabis industry. The experts of Tikun Olam will continue to break new ground by engineering products that cultivate pathways to new markets, catering to all those who seek an active and healthy lifestyle in every legally regulated market in the United States.

Samsung DeX – First Impressions
The S8/S8+ is finally out and there have been many great reviews on Samsung’s flagship phone. Alongside the release of these devices, also came a few accessories, most notably, the Samsung DeX.
Whats meant to be as an alternative to your computer, its a dock that not only charges your phone, but it acts as a computer, with fully integrated apps, such as Office Suite and Adobe. The concept sounds great: a perfect way to utilize the most of your phone in desktop format. No longer will you have to write that long email with your thumbs! But how practical is the Samsung DeX?
UI
You can even change the background of your DeX screen! At first glance, it reminds me of Chrome OS. As soon as I connected my phone onto the dock, I looked at the task bar and felt familiar with a UI that I had yet to play around with. It is a mix of Windows and Chrome OS, so for those within the Android ecosystem will have no trouble guiding through it. All settings are virtually similar to the S8. As I was opening various apps I owned, I almost forgot that I was controlling a phone and not a computer.
Design
The Samsung DeX has 2 USB 2.0 Ports, an Ethernet Port and a USB Type C charging port. Aside from the ports, the Samsung DeX has a cooling fan to ease concerns about your mobile overheating while it functions as a desktop. After about 20min, I touched my phone to see if there was any signs of overheating, and to my shock, there was none. When the S8 is docked, it is receiving charge, so its a perfect way to get a quick charge in while you’re working away.
Whats Great
Apps are quick, and offer very little lag. Everything works seamlessly, and offers very little hassle. Anyone with common knowledge on how to navigate a computer will find the UI very intuitive and easy to use.
You have an option to change the orientation of the app (portrait or landscape) to get a better view, whether you want to text someone or jot down a quick note. You can receive phone calls and they will be answered on speaker.
The Opportunity Lies…
If you ever had AirDroid (or any remote connection from your phone to your computer) then you know that you can set that up and still keep $150 in your bank account. Its a cool idea, but the market is still hard to pinpoint. If its meant to be sold for businessman who can connect this to any hotel TV, then what about the regular consumer? You would need to have an extra monitor/keyboard/mouse lying around. And if you didn’t thats an extra chunk of change that you weren’t prepared to let go of.
On paper, Samsung DeX sounds great. But its not practical. Not for those who are looking for a cheaper alternative to getting a full Desktop experience.
I’ll have a full depth review later on this week.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ – Initial Impressions
I’m loving it so far.
A lot of changes have been made from the original S7 upto the S8. But there are a few things that I want to mention about, within my first few hours of the device.
Design
Samsung finally removed their iconic physical ‘Home’ button and replaced it with an on-screen home button. While it may be strange for older Samsung users, after a while, you get used to where it is and doesn’t become a bother. (You can also change the placement of the ‘Back’ and ‘Recents’ button, respectively). Because of this bold design move, you have more screen to body ratio, and I see myself wanting to see videos on full screen.Another benefit of the screen, is that multi-tasking feels more natural and doesn’t feel like you’re losing real-estate. I made a quick phone and still was able to text flawlessly on my S8+. It brought the best of both worlds.
Software
TouchWiz UI is notorious for being slow and just buggy when you need it to work at its potential. Using it for about 4 hours, I had no issues with lag. It was a surprise because as a Samsung user, I am used to the occasional hiccup. But it works flawlessly, with less bugs.With the Nougat update, categorizing your Apps have never been easier. It takes a quick drag and drop to get your Apps in a Folder and color them to your liking.
Camera
The camera improved greatly. Front camera mega pixels improved upto 8MP, which allows for some great looking photos with friends. With HDR Auto and Flash in the front of the camera, it gives more options to get that perfect shot with friends!Summary
These are only quick things that I was able to get a hold of. I’ll be sure to write a more comprehensive review on what makes this phone a good addition to your lifestyle.

Samsung Gear 360 – 360 Content for Live Streaming
Looks like Eve from Wall-E. Two weeks ago, Samsung unveiled some great products, notably their new Samsung Gear 360, a 4K resolution 360-degree camera, adding to Samsung’s overall virtual reality ecosystem. The new Gear 360 offers enhanced features for producing high-quality content. With its lightweight design and refined lenses, this is sure to enable many content creators to capture the best moments.
For the first time, the Gear 360 offers video recording at up to 4K resolution, letting consumers capture and share moments with friends and family. This is the first time that Samsung has a camera that is able to record high resolution content. (The older model could only go such shy of 4K) Equipped with 8.4-megapixel image sensors, the Gear 360 can also capture 15MP high resolution images.
The latest edition of Gear 360 is compatible with Samsung flagship devices including the newly released Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S6 edge. Gear 360 ALSO offers greater compatibility with iOS devices (the first time this has happened) and Windows®/Mac® computers. The last iteration of the Gear 360 could only work for Windows computers, but the inclusion of Mac/iOS, allows for more flexibility across all operating systems.
Once we get our hands on it, we’ll write our review on what makes this so great.

Spring Capsule Wardrobe Twists
If you have a truckload of clothing in your wardrobe, but still worry what to wear every morning, then capsule wardrobe is the answer to your prayers. Building a capsule wardrobe requires thoughtful consideration and planning, but it ensures you’ll be sporting the right outfit every day, as each piece you own will be timeless. Capsules are also great money savers, as they make sure you only buy items that you love and genuinely want to wear. Building a spring capsule is the same as building a regular capsule, only with a few twists added to spice things up for the next season. Here’s what you should be aiming for this spring.
The little floral dress
source/source
Instead of classic LBD, opt for its lighter spring alternative – the little floral dress. Long or short, chiffon or silk, button through or V-neck, delicate flowers or bold mixes, it doesn’t matter what you choose, because you can’t go wrong. These stylish pieces are easy to match, so you can team them up with everything from ankle boots to sandals or trainers. This season’s hottest trends are asymmetric hem and an open back, so take your pick and start celebrating the arrival of spring.Navy striped shirt
It’s nothing new or groundbreaking, but it’s absolutely timeless. The style inspired by sailors’ uniforms is suitable for everyone and it can easily create various outfits. Team up your navy shirt with blue jeans for a casual look or with white pants or a skirt for a more sophisticated feel. You can start from drop sleeve shirts and then work your way into striped crop tops and tanks as the weather becomes warmer.
Skinny jeans
Although some other styles, like cropped flares, were popular in 2016, skinny jeans aren’t out. There are countless new ways to wear your skinnies this spring, from laid-back style to weekend evening dates. Instead of a shirt, throw a tie cardigan over your skinnies for a casual look, or give your distressed jeans a more formal look by wearing a trench coat and black pointed stilettos. Sheer accented tops are amazing when teamed up with skinnies, as are military jackets and high heels. For a truly unexpected twist, wear a formal dress over your skinny jeans and blow everyone off their feet.
Trench coat
This classic piece constantly gets reinvented and this season offers an array of styles. If you’re a fan of classic khaki coats, but still want to add a modern twist to it, opt for a hooded one or the one with emphasized shoulders. Alternatively, you can choose bolder colors like red and orange or flattering floral prints. When shopping for this wardrobe staple, or any other, it’s important not to rush into it. Creating a capsule wardrobe requires giving it some thought and finding the best shopping deals before you decide to settle on the right piece.
Chelsea boots
We can hardly think of a better way to pull off a chic yet effortless look than slipping into a pair of Chelsea boots. They are ideal for daytime strolls, but can also be dressed up for evening occasions. Their design makes your leg look slimmer, and the best thing of all is that they are super comfortable. From leather to suede, with or without laces, these boots go well with practically everything and you can be sure that you’ll be wearing them for a long, long time.
In order to create a spring capsule wardrobe, you’ll need to put in some extra effort and shop strategically, but the result will be worth your while. Say goodbye to hours of indecisiveness in front of your wardrobe and walk confidently wherever you go.
