Morocco Created $1 Billion Fund to Counter Coronavirus Outbreak

The King of Morocco ordered the creation of a $1 billion fund to upgrade health infrastructure and help vulnerable economic sectors to counter coronavirus spread.

Berlin Germany, March 24th 2020 - In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak in Morocco, King Mohammed VI ordered the creation of a $1 billion fund to upgrade health infrastructure and help vulnerable economic sectors. The fund will also help acquire the necessary health equipment and assist sectors such as tourism as well as help maintain jobs and mitigate the pandemic’s social repercussions. The pandemic is expected to hit the Moroccan economy hard, with the pivotal tourism sector, which last year attracted 13 million visitors. In addition to the fund, the King also ordered that field hospitals be set up across the country to assist health

services.

As soon as the first coronavirus cases were confirmed, Morocco suspended all international passenger flights, closed schools and canceled all events. As of March 23rd, Morocco reported new confirmed cases of coronavirus bringing the total number to 134 cases, the recovery of three patients and the death of four. Most initial cases were found in Moroccans resident in Spain, Italy and France who had returned home for visits. Moroccan authorities have been urging citizens to observe rules of hygiene, implement the precautionary measures issued by the Moroccan health authorities, act with responsibility and show patriotism. Authorities have also been disinfecting public transportation and deployed loudspeakers on cars, asking people to stay home, especially those with pre-existing health problems and the elderly. Morocco has been hailed for ensuring the necessary consumer
products for citizens on a daily basis.

The House of Representatives unanimously voted for draft decree Law 2.20.292 on Monday, March 23, to penalize anyone who violates the state of emergency protocol.

Recently, she announced the release of her debut EP Kiss preceded by a fantastic Single titled “Oceanblue,” which was released in June 2019.

She collaborated with some of the best producers in the United States to prove her point with an outstanding debut.

Galway, Connacht, Ireland., March 20, 2020 -- What makes this release special is definitely the fact that Daniela sings with passion and unique intensity.

On the one hand, her voice has got the sultry appeal of pop, while on the other, she can be energetic and edgy like a true rocker. Furthermore, the production is of highest quality standard and the elements in the project are very balanced, creating a perfect equilibrium, with just the right bias of technical excellence and performance essence. Daniela spared no effort in order to create music that would really connect with people, and nobody needs to be a rock or pop fan to find some value in her honest, genuine songs. Kiss is a powerful, diverse EP which stands out for its modern sound. Each song is polished and crisp, but these beautiful compositions are never overproduced, allowing a lot of wonderfully organic and “human” elements to really add liveliness to the mix.

In addition to her focus on promoting this EP, Daniela actively supports charity Threshold Ireland tackling the issue of homelessness within the country. Her music is positive, sharing a very uplifting message of love, hope, and understanding whilst inspired by artists such as Lana del Rey and even rock-based acts such as Evanescence, only to mention but a few. Daniela shows no signs of slowing down and she is already at work on a brand-new EP, which is set to feature seven tracks that will be recorded at the world-famous Windmill Lane Recording Studios, Dublin on 5th June 2020.

EP Kiss and Single Oceanblue have been successfully distributed by reimagined record label Amuse to the best music streaming platforms and beyond: https://ampl.ink/2DZal.

She enjoyed a professional private vocal education in Germany from 2003 until 2007 focussing on Musical/Pop/Rock whilst supporting bands as a background-singer and she regularly performed at Open-Mics to showcase her talent.

Without doubt, Daniela´s debut EP introduces a change of game to the music scene and her journey has begun.

World's First AI-Based Cannabis Stock Index with Predictive Analytics

Saroj Investments announced the world’s first debuted algorithm powered by artificial intelligence specifically for the Cannabis Industry with their Artificial Intelligence (AI) trading platform “Investable AI Based Cannabis Index”, up over 38%+ in the past 2 quarters compared to -46% and -44% for MJ & POTX respectively.

Seattle, WA, USA., March 5, 2020 -- Saroj Investments announced the development of their Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform “Investable AI Based Cannabis Index”. This is the world’s first debuted algorithm that is powered by artificial intelligence specifically for the Cannabis Industry.

The Investable AI Based Cannabis Index uses this proprietary algorithm developed by Saroj Investments, LLC called "Smart Frequency Trading". The Investable AI Based Cannabis Index's approach ranks investment opportunities based on their probability of benefiting from current economic conditions, trends, events, and identifies those equities with the greatest potential for appreciation. The Investable Smart Cannabis Index expects the fund's portfolio to typically consist of at least 19 cannabis equities listed on the NASDAQ & NYSE.

"Investing is a rational decision-making process and it needs a balance of risk management and risk taking," said Rohit Srivastava, CEO Saroj Investments. "Making fast rational decisions is tough. The amount of information we have available today and the speed of change of market behavior is making it difficult to make quick decisions. Our artificial intelligence systems can be designed to create such balance with a combination of machine learning & technical trading. Using these Artificial intelligence (AI) tools funds can analyze various data points, make decisions quicker and execute trades with relatively higher accuracy by mitigating risks."

"Many of the cannabis stocks have fallen over 60% in the past year- It's insane!," said Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst. "But anyone who has used a bona fide AI tool with predictive analytics would have known that cannabis stocks have been on the down trend for a long time. The use of an AI tool could have avoided these losses for an investment fund. Saroj Investments built an intelligent Investable Cannabis Index with machine learning to address this issue, and knows exactly when to invest in the cannabis market and when to get out."

With the launch of The Investable AI Based Cannabis Index, Saroj Investments, LLC is not only bringing a new investment model to market, but also will be pioneering a whole new investment category, one that will soon have investors and advisors diversifying their portfolios among passive, active and AI approaches. Rohit goes on to say "we are excited to be the first asset management company that will bring AI approaches to the Cannabis investment space."

About Saroj Investments, LLC & The Investable AI Based Cannabis
Saroj Investments, LLC builds AI platforms that identifies complex trading patterns combined with machine learning technology & technical trading analysis. This intelligence platform processes diverse data sets and runs a variety of predictive models to come up with stock ratings based on probabilities. With the help of this AI platforms, the tool recommends equities using pattern recognition technology and an engine that determines price forecasting. Its model portfolios are enhanced by AI algorithms.

Saroj Investments, LLC is an AI based trading software development company. It licenses the software to Saroj & Bhanu Fund, LP for making trades for its investors. The stocks and options the artificial intelligence software trades uses a propriety approach called "Smart Frequency Trading". 

The Investable AI Based Cannabis Index takes the approach of machine learning and technical analysis, giving it the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning along with technical analysis is one of the most powerful combination of artificial intelligence-based trading. The most powerful algorithms might fail if there is no mechanism of "learning" thus mistakes can be propagated and opportunities for performing well can be missed.

Saroj Investments, LLC licenses their software to S&B Fund, LP. The Investable AI Based Cannabis Index may invest in the securities of companies of any market capitalization and will have an expense ratio of 0.75%.

Morocco’s strategy to Enhance and Rehabilitate the Kingdom’s Ancient Medinas, Fez at the Forefront

Morocco’s strategy to enhance the Kingdom’s ancient medinas (older parts) of various cities, the King of Morocco is launching a new program in Fez that aims at rehabilitating ancient cities, preserving traditional trades and improving the living conditions of citizens.

Berlin, Germany., March 12, 2020 -- In the Framework of Morocco’s strategy to enhance the Kingdom’s ancient medinas (older parts) of various cities, the King of Morocco is launching a new mega program that aims at rehabilitating cities, preserving traditional trades and improving the living conditions of citizens. Last week, The King launched a program to preserve the architectural and historical character of the Medina of Fez and to promote the influence of this millennial city. This new program concerns the restoration and rehabilitation of the historical assets of the medina of Fez (4 sites), the redevelopment and upgrading of urban areas (9 sites), the strengthening of the tourist and economic attractiveness of this Museum City (33 sites), the development of local social facilities (171 sites) and the treatment of buildings at risk of ruin (980 sites).

While in Fez, the King visited the restoration site of Khrachfiyine Foundouq (an inn situated in the heart of the old city), a project that is part of the development program of the Medina of Fez (2018-2023). This restoration project should, at the end of the work, participate in the preservation and development of the historical heritage and the promotion of crafts in the foundouqs as well as improving the working conditions for artisans. In addition to the restoration of the Foundouq, 11 other historic monuments and emblematic sites, 10 places of worship (mosques and Koranic schools), 40 places of well-being (hammams, fountains and health centers), 39 traditional crafts and commercial sites will be restored. Dar Al Makina which receives each year thousands of guests from around the world attending festivals in Fes will also get restored. The aim is to improve the urban landscape and the architectural environment of the Fez Medina.

Always in the context of strengthening the tourist attractiveness of the medina of Fez, a program has been implemented to develop car parks, rehabilitate public spaces and install an information system (2017-2022). This program aims at improving accessibility to the old medina through the development of eight car parks. In addition, the program also consists of the paving the streets and alleys, squares of the Medina as well as the installation of information kiosks for the service of locals and tourists. The rate of progress of the projects for paving streets, alleys, squares is at 44%, squares of the Medina at 74%, and installation of information terminals at 75%.

The City of Fez is 1,200-year-old. It was founded in 789 and is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. Once in Fez, visitors’ senses are stimulated with aromas through its 9,500 alleyways. At the heart of the old city is the Kairaouine university which may be the world’s oldest university—it was established in 859. Given the fact that the medina of Fez has no structure for cars or cranes to access buildings at risk of collapsing, Morocco has been working tirelessly to rehabilitate this architectural jewel. In fact, more than 2,200 buildings at risk have already rehabilitated already. Fez has over 60 seqqâya (public fountains), which testify to the Almoravid dynasty’s clever civil engineers. They diverted rivers, made dams and built an intricate canal network to distribute the water throughout Morocco. The fountains in the medina feature brilliant zellij (tilework).

To Conclude, the Fez medina development program will cost approximately $9.2 million to enhance the touristic appeal of 33 museums and heritage sites in the city.

Friends of Morocco is a nonprofit organization with branches around the world. The main objective is to promote Morocco and to build bridges and connect people who have fallen in Love with this country, adopted its culture and made it their 2nd home.

Sensabues and RCU Labs Partner to Launch the First Accurate Test for Recent-Use of Cannabis

Sensabues breath collection technology integrated into RCU Labs’ Test to determine recent cannabis use.

Stockholm, Sweden and Roseville, California, USA., March 6, 2020 -- Sensabues AB (“Sensabues”), a leading provider of breath collection technology for detection of drugs, doping and diseases, today announced that it has partnered with RCU Labs, Inc. (“RCU Labs”), a leader in the development of a dual-matrix test for recent cannabis use.

The partnership will see Sensabues and RCU Labs combine their respective technologies to launch the first accurate Recent Cannabis Use Test (“RCU Test”) using breath collection. The new test solves one of the most scientifically elusive issues of the cannabis industry: how to determine whether an impaired driver or employee is under the influence of cannabis.

The RCU Test is the first reliable test method to accurately determine recent cannabis use within the impairment window. The RCU Test is a practical alternative to zero-tolerance and arbitrary tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) drug level policies.

Method

RCU Labs has developed a new pharmacological testing approach based on multiple parameters involving key cannabinoids and Delta9-THC metabolites in blood. The results of the blood test are able to determine recent cannabis use within six hours. To enhance the confidence levels of the RCU Test, RCU Labs has incorporated a second test matrix, exhaled breath, utilizing the patented, low-cost breath collection device from Sensabues. The breath sample can be collected roadside or at an incident site, while the blood sample can be collected at the same time or, if required, up to several hours later. Both the breath and blood samples are then sent to the lab and analyzed using established instrumentation techniques such as high-resolution mass spectrometry for confirmatory data and evidential results. Overall, this dual-matrix approach yielded 100% accuracy within the impairment window following smoking in the first 44 consecutive subjects that have been studied in a clinical trial to date.

Applications

This collaboration seeks to advance the application breakthrough achieved by the RCU Test (patents pending) for law enforcement, workplace drug testing and anti-doping in sport with regard to ease of use and deployment in the field, as well as analytical accuracy in the lab. The RCU Test has obvious applications for law enforcement (roadside DUI collection), for employers investigating workplace incidents (with cause and post-accident situations) and for anti-doping in sport (in-competition testing of athletes and players).

Partnership

Under this agreement, both parties will work to offer a full suite of approved RCU all-in-one and one-time-use test kits together with the validated RCU analytical lab services. Further joint development of RCU Labs’ method is planned to extend the offering to include a definitive recent-use test for other drug groups such as stimulants and performance enhancing drugs.

Notes to Editors

More about Sensabues’ exhaled breath method:

Exhaled breath contains aerosols which originate from lungs and blood. These aerosols contain revealing information for diagnostics, therapeutics and analytics. Sensabues owns the core IP for the design of a simple collection device and the validated methodology to collect, extract and detect the non-volatile substances present within these aerosols using electrostatic filter technology.

This technique is convenient, reliable and low cost. It is a non-invasive way to collect chemicals in breath for disease detection, exposure monitoring, and drug metabolism.

This is a highly sensitive, accurate and confirmatory, back-to-lab based technique, which has been developed into a complete end-to-end analytical platform for use in toxicology, pharmacology and clinical biochemistry that can lead to improved analysis, diagnostics and therapies for medical research, healthcare, law enforcement, criminal justice, schools, workplace drug testing and sports organizations.

About Sensabues AB:
Sensabues is a Swedish company with exclusive ownership of a novel method and device to detect non-volatiles in breath. Over 20,000 breath collection devices have been deployed across targeted applications/markets worldwide. There are over 35 technical papers published with data from multiple worldwide studies and large scale field trials by independent third-party labs, institutes, hospitals, clinics, prisons, schools, and sports authorities. To date, over 80 different drugs and compounds have been detected across 25 different categories of substances using this method. www.sensabues.com

The company currently has four patents pending that support the underlying technology behind the RCU Test. www.rculabs.com

Tindouf Camps: One Person Killed in Protests against Polisario Leadership

At least one person was killed and several others injured when clashes erupted between protesters from the tribe of Oulad Tidrarine and the armed militia of the Algerian backed separatist group, the polisario.

Berlin, Germany., March 5, 2020 -- At least one person was killed and several others injured when clashes erupted between protesters from the tribe of Oulad Tidrarine and the armed militia of the Algerian backed separatist group, the polisario.

The protesters were joined by foreigners participating at the “Sahara marathon” in the Tindouf camps. The protest was against the polisario leaders’ connivance and involvement in the escape of the assassins of a member of the Oulad Tidrarine tribe, Oulda Ould Boukhari Bamba. The family of the victim accuses the Polisario leaders of having organized and facilitated the escape of the killers.

Some 200 protesters, mostly from Oulad Tidrarine tribe, have been demanding, since last week, the opening of an independent investigation into certain senior executives of the Polisario leadership. According to the family of the victim, Iddih Ould Mohamed Lagdhaf and Didi Ould Othman Bamba responsible for the murder were allowed to escape by the authorities. The angry stone-throwing demonstrators violently clashed with the militia which led to the death of at least one person, according to reports coming out of the refugee camps.

The polisario routinely violates the human rights of tens of thousands of Sahrawi refugees who have remained trapped in desperate conditions in the camps near Tindouf, Algeria for over four decades. In the camps, there is no freedom of speech or movement or basic rights, the right to education or health or right of movement. Meanwhile, the leaders of the polisario and their families are allowed to travel abroad for education, hospitalisation and holidays. This is possible because of the diversion of humanitarian aid destined for the refugees.

Friends of Morocco is a non profit organization with branches around the world. The main objective is to promote Morocco and its causes as well as to build bridges and connect people who have fallen in Love with this country, adopted its culture and traditions and made it their 2nd home.
