I was on a break earlier, and on a mobile and chatting up an elf - so explains my rocky reply. Apologies.

Anyway no one reads them, so whats the problem ha ha.

I've spent the day in a large closed down GAP store in South London - I was made to dress up as Santa Clause, with a sign around my neck with the name "Father Hit and Miss, written on it. I was joined by a number of other nurses dressed as elves ....

It was a walk in. I spent most of my day asking people what size did they wan't ....Would they prefer a small one, a large one or an extra large one - before injecting them an then telling them not to drink alcohol for two weeks - and then watching their expression on their faces !

You might want to delete these posts - before anyone reads them.
I was under the impression that CHILLs Unique selling point was it would be one of the few products being sold in the UK ( and possibly Europe) at zero THC, therefore they could take the market share. WRONG

Also i was told on here explicitly - that TAAT cigarette's would get into trouble down the road in the UK for selling their cigarette product that had 0.2 THC, and that CHILL would have an advantage with their zero THC. turned out WRONG again

Well that demonstrates again, be vary wary of the experts on this BB and read a variety of posts.

It looks to me that they have not reduced the THC level allowed but increased them - therefore opening up the market to more products that have under .5 THC.

What are you lot like !

A new report from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) has outlined its recommendations to the UK Government on establishing guidelines for the CBD industry
The ACMD published its recommendations for the appropriate levels of THC in individual servings of CBD, on Friday 17 December.

It has suggested that the dose of each controlled phytocannabinoid ‘should not exceed 50 micrograms per unit of consumption’,

The current limit is set as 0.2 or 0.3 per cent per serving of CBD, although many have debated that this is too low, with some other European counties already introducing a 0.05 per cent limit, such as the Netherlands.

Now, in the new report, the ACMD has said that an increase to 0.05 per cent was ‘unlikely to produce any harmful effects.’

Interesting if sobering read, regarding another biochemical incident in the world .
"What the Wuhan 'lab leak' tells us about the future of biowarfare"

Interesting estimate for a UK biological early warning system .
" is crucial, we need to establish a global surveillance and early warning system. This would cost a fraction of what we’ve already spent on the pandemic. Test and Trace cost £37bn - for £2bn we could have a system which would have picked up omicron six or seven weeks ago and made sure it wasn’t an issue now.’

Starightflash. If you are so offended by what a competitor is doing in one of Chills main markets, selling similar product, at cheaper price in UK - then i suggest you do not read it. Others may want to know. You been invested here for years ...so you should have learnt something by now. Suckers , never learn....and the reason is they only want to hear or read what they want to hear .....they will only listen to those who agree with them. AIM is full of suckers...they are usually the ones who take down other peeps posts, or result to insults because they can't verbalise the reasons why they disagree. LOL pmsl tick tock .

Its looking like Xmas will be dire this year, MARKETS will fall next week, possible sell off in market, CHILLs volume of ten shares a day e to increasing chance of lockdowns, and the sp may drift lower to an Excellent cheap price to buy - so every cloud etc etc - we all win.

Maybe , just Maybe CHILL may throw you a bit of news .....in an attempt to keep sp stable.....lol
I'm going for either CHILL gummies in shops in US ( what, again! ), or 200 new outlets SERVICED in US , or MAYBE the cowboys horse has started chewing gummies and now refuses to move.

Well, from interview in October 21 . Dr Basu talked about a strong Pipeline going forward and looking forward to seeing a strong conversion of pipeline over next few months.....which is around about now. So plenty of news due.

PUBLIC has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to launch its first UK healthcare accelerator programme to help mentor digital health start-ups.

PUBLIC, a government technology company, will be bringing its extensive experience in managing accelerator programme, to the first UK-based cohort of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Healthcare Accelerator. The launch comes after the success of a similar programme from AWS, run in the US.

The healthcare accelerator will run virtually as a four-week technical, business and mentorship programme for ten healthcare start-ups selected by AWS and PUBLIC. Selected companies will have the opportunity to use AWS services to help solve the healthcare industry’s biggest challenges."

It was the last line of this article that caught my attention as i have not heard narcotics used before in terms of detection.
"and how those capabilities could address areas like detecting narcotics manufacturing."

"DURHAM School has been trialling a ground-breaking innovation that can test vast roomfuls of air for the virus and is capable of real-time identification of airborne pathogens."

This month at least eight Durham schools closed due to covid and i would imagine, and love to know that one of them was the same school trialling Kromek' s air pathogen detector - and that it worked. Likewise, if the detector did not pick up a threat, that the school remained open, while others shut.

Find the latest news here regarding the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense.

Such as the newly launched Public awareness campaign urges support for program to end pandemic threat
Friday, December 10, 2021 by Liz Carey
"The commission called on the federal government to implement the recommendation in its report, The Apollo Program for Biodefense: Winning the Race Against Biological Threats, which detailed a program to develop and deploy the science and technologies needed to defend against biological threats and prevent pandemics. The Commission argued that if the United States acts now, the Apollo Program could effectively end the era of pandemic threats in 10 years........."that we undertake with the same ambition and ingenuity that put the first human on the Moon in 1969.”

TAAT™ Now Selling in Tobacco Retailers Throughout Greater London

"The George W. Bush Administration established a national biodetection program in
2003 at DHS, dubbing it BioWatch. DHS spends nearly $80 million a year on this
program but has never been able to consistently demonstrate its operational capability
in the field. "....."DHS can execute this plan without additional authorization from Congress. However,
congressional direction would hasten replacement of current BioWatch technology,
enable national biodetection far more quickly, and ensure the success of a program that
has failed for almost 20 years to deliver. "

Immediate Action Plan Oct 21
"Identify BioWatch replacement technologies and determine where to emplace
detectors and other equipment throughout the Nation within 90 days.
• Acquire at least three technologies that can–either individually or together–
meet BioWatch mission requirements and the needs of newly identified BioWatch
jurisdictions within 180 days.

Change is coming , just a matter of when and who their partners will be. KMK surely going to be included.

I'm not sure if its lack of interest but the markets are very cautious now and i m invested in several company's that have more or less covered their revenue targets for the year ahead next year in future contracts and both could be making a good profit next year - yet both are well of their highs and nearer their lows. No one seems to be looking that far into the future at present...when this changes and FDBK prove they can win contracts then maybe a different story - but meanwhile make the most of the lows, i guess.

ragnarr was right
Fujifilm’s portable X-ray system “FDR Xair System” obtains recommendation from the Stop TB Partnership as an X-ray device for tuberculosis screening

"is pleased to announce that the company’s “FDR Xair System,” which combines the portable X-ray unit “FDR Xair” and the digital X-ray diagnostic imaging device (Cassette DR) “FDR D-EVO II”, has been newly added to the Diagnostics Catalog of medical devices as a recommended chest X-ray system for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. The Catalog is issued by the Global Drug Facility (GDF)*1 under the “Stop TB Partnership*2” in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). The GDF is an organization that strives to build a sustainable procurement and supply system for quality-assured TB treatments and diagnostics in emerging countries and other countries around the world. Fujifilm will supply the FDR Xair System to public medical institutions, NGOs and NPOs involved in TB eradication through the GDF."

Excellent partnerships we have here.

I think Davwal is asking where will they get their x ray machines from, there is a shortage per population at present, i don't think he means how will they interpret the images. Rajasthan has a population of 80 m at 20% a year TB scanned etc over 15milion people may need to be scanned in that state alone. Where will they actually get their scan? or i this another part of the puzzle re partnerships.

Just need some good luck here. Just one massive order from a government department to begin a UK, US or European nationwide pathogen detection surveillance system - and Kromek's rather brilliant yet underwhelming history will be a thing of the past imo. Its hard to believe that if Kromeks offering takes off, then its top of the range national detection security and surveillance services will only be wanted by one government.

Just like after 911 - a terrible example, but it was a localised event - yet all around the world world governments invested billions in anti terrorist technology , so again, with a pandemic such as this - each government will react in similar fashion and want the best technology to protect it from happening again to their economy and people. Just need a little luck that we get an initial order.

£1.5bn seems quite a reasonable price to pay as insurance if it allowed us to catch any future virus early, and therefore reduce the economic and human damage to a more tolerable level.

Just looked it up and one guesstimate had the UK economy losing £2.7 billion a day during furlough !

I imagine AWS will do something along the lines of this initiative for the 50 million plus rural farmers in India.
