There once was a wee Scottish lad by the name of Graeme Macaloney who found a summer job bottling whisky and fell in love with Uisge Beatha, the ‘water of life’. He dedicated his heart to finding a way to make whisky for a living, though circumstance would find a way of sidetracking his dreams.Knowing he couldn’t create a world-class brewery and distillery on his own, Graeme assembled a skilled team of experts: the legendary Dr Jim Swan, the foremost whisky maturation expert in Scotland, and Master Distiller Mike Nicolson, who had worked in over 18 renowned Scottish whisky distilleries.The result has been a multitude of National & International beer and whisky awards!

At a time when we are demanding more from the things we invest in, why is it that we expect so little from the item we spend more money on and the most time in; our shelters? Nouvel Housing is Canada's exclusive provider of California's Binishell homes.Nouvel & Binishell draw inspiration from nature to bring a cohesive and innovative ‘out of the box' approach to construction and design. In so doing, we bring a new level of efficiency and resiliency to construction whilst adding a level of objectivity to design.Our approach and philosophy is rooted in nature: in how forces work within materials; how weight is transferred; and how structural systems gain efficiency. They are rooted in how heat is transferred versus how it is contained. They are rooted in more closely emulating how nature works. The process of the exploration of design with equal consideration to construction methodology, remembering that light is to architecture as sound is to music. While Binishells has clients such as Robert Downie Jr., (Iron Man), our goal is to provide affordable, einvironmentally friendly, earthquake & wildfire safe housing for everyone.

Sernova is a clinical stage regenerative medicine company focused on developing & commercializing its platform technologies based on the Company’s proprietary Cell Pouch System (CPS), micro-encapsulation, genetic engineering (local anti-rejection control) & therapeutic cells. Sernova has licensed/partnered technologies from multiple world-class corporate & academic institutions related to the development of islets (xenogeniec & human) and stem cells into glucose-responsive therapeutic cells for the treatment of T-1 diabetes. The CPS is a novel, subcutaneously implantable & scalable business card-sized medical device scaffold, forming a natural environment in the body for the housing & long-term survival & function of therapeutic cells. As the CPS is fully integrated into the body’s vascular system, these therapeutic cells release necessary proteins, hormones or factors missing from the body to treat chronic diseases as an alternative to daily administration of drugs according to the body’s specific therapeutic needs when required – as per normal physiologic functioning. The CPS is ideally suited for allogeneic, autologous, stem cell & xenogeneic applications.Sernova's current FDA approved Ph. I/II Chicago-based trial goals for the CPS include clinically validating the ability to treat T-1 diabetes via donor islet transplantation to create endogenous production of insulin, somatostatin, and glucagon to control blood glucose without any external monitoring or insulin/hormonal sources. The primary long-term goal for the CPS is to provide a "cure" for T-1 diabetes by providing a safe, fully vascularized environment for sources of unlimited insulin-secreting cells. Pre-clinical work on the CPS is also underway to treat Hemophilia A with controlled endogenous production of Factor VIII via Blood Origin Endothelial Derived Cells, as well as endogenous production of thyroid hormone for benign thyroid diseases. Pipeline applications include Parkinson's Disease.
