August 24, 2018 - Brisbane, AUS - Columbus have released a new video for their single "Cut It Out." Lifted from their second album, A Hot Take On Heartbreak (released back in May on UNFD), the video premiered on Apple Music earlier this week and follows a couple who pull off a robbery in '50s Australia and the aftermath on their relationship. Check it out now, here: youtu.be/ku8oo-tgfd0
Vocalist Alex Moses says the song idea was sparked by his girlfriend and experiencing pain she couldn't manage: "'Cut It Out' is a song about watching people close to you deal with situations they can't control. What started as a song about my girlfriend's endometriosis, 'Cut It Out' became a dark commentary on hard times and pain in general. We're excited to see 'Cut It Out' come to life in our new video, which while not directly drawing on the themes in the song, tells its own story about struggle, pain and loss."
Columbus recorded A Hot Take On Heartbreak with Joel Quartermain, widely known as the multi-instrumentalist of Western Australian rockers Eskimo Joe; and a producer with a wealth of experience and the know-how that comes with being in a band himself. And not just any band; Joel's experience having won eight ARIAs over the course of multiple Number one and platinum albums informed the creative process in such a way that it allowed Columbus to take more risks because they had the full support of someone who had already scaled the heights.

Criminal Justice Reform Likely to See Vote After Midterms
WASHINGTON – Today, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) participated in two meetings to discuss what elements would be included in a possible criminal justice reform bill that would be taken up by the Senate after the midterm elections. Sen. Lee released the following statement on the possible bill after the meetings:
“Today’s meeting was a huge step forward in getting a bill passed that will help keep communities safe and make our criminal justice system more fair,” Lee said. “The bill we agreed to would include the prison reforms from the House’s First Step Act with some technical changes, plus four sentencing reforms that would give judges more flexibility on mandatory minimums for nonviolent offenders. I hope to see this bill passed by the end of the year, and expect large bipartisan support as we strive to make our penal system work better for all Americans.”
The first meeting was attended by Senior Presidential Advisor Jared Kushner, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sen. Lee. The second meeting was with Chairman Grassley, Mr. Kushner, Sen. Lee, and included President Donald Trump on the phone to discuss the elements of a possible compromise bill.

Hemp, Inc. Distribution Deal with Quadco, LLC Featured in Colorado Springs Independent Publication
SPRING HILL, NC, Aug. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today that the company was featured in an article by Colorado Springs Independent regarding Hemp, Inc.’s signing of an agreement with Alaska-based gas and oil drilling services company Quadco LLC to distribute DrillWall™, a loss circulation material (LCM). LCM is a term for substances added to drilling fluids when drilling fluids are being lost to the formations downhole.
The Colorado Springs Independent serves the Pikes Peak region of Southern Colorado both in print and online, and its website reaches over 100,000 unique monthly visitors. Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot industrial hemp processing and manufacturing facility, on 59 acres, in Spring Hope, North Carolina has been operational since August 2017 and creates products for the gas and oil drilling industries, among others.
The article, “Hemp Inc.’s new product makes oil drilling a bit more eco-friendly ,” highlights Hemp, Inc.’s new partnership with Quadco to provide environmentally-friendly products for the gas and oil drilling industries in Alaska. Specifically, Quadco will be exclusively distributing DrillWall™ in Alaska, which is comprised of a proprietary blend of hemp and kenaf. DrillWall™ is non-toxic and biodegradable, and is a mixture of micronized organic cellulose fibers that has been field proven for all types of drilling fluid formulas including water-based fluids (WBM), oil-based fluids (OBM), synthetic based fluids (SBM) and constant rheology fluids (CR-SBM).
The article notes that Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin is already working toward meeting increased demand by expanding the operational abilities of Hemp, Inc.’s existing operations in Spring Hope. The article also discusses Perlowin’s plans to build upon Hemp, Inc.’s success with a focus on the development of cannabidiol (CBD) oil and partnerships with hemp farmers nationwide.
Hemp, Inc. is helping to build the industrial hemp infrastructure that was basically non-existent in America. And five years later, it’s still in its infancy as our nation, gradually, embraces industrial hemp as a new emerging multi-trillion dollar industrial agricultural green revolution.
Our focus has been on building five hemp infrastructures, Divisions One through Five.
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
Division Two – The Hemp Extraction Infrastructure
Division Three – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure
Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure
The article also highlighted Hemp Inc.’s strategic hemp growing partner Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc. and their plans to grow hemp and produce CBD products. The 500-acre community will be designed to provide holistic healing to veterans with physical disabilities, alcohol and drug addiction, PTSD and other psychological conditions while training them in various facets of the emerging hemp industry, the article notes.

For a more complete description on the Veteran Village Kins Community, read the following, modified, October 24, 2017 press release, Hemp, Inc. Announces Strategic Hemp Growing Partner "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc." Completes Final Site Plan Blueprints, below:
Hemp, Inc. has announced that its strategic growing partner, "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. With the solar equipment in place, the site's solar power operation will be completed in the next days.
As soon as the live streaming video cameras are up and operational, the world can actually see the way the Veteran Village Kins Community is designed and watch it being built. According to Perlowin, the basic framework or overall plan of the Veteran Village Kins Communities is to create a holistic healing and learning center that is designed to educate and heal veterans with PSTD, alcoholism, meth addiction, opioid addiction, and other psychological conditions while at the same time training them on the numerous aspects of being part of the emerging multi-billion dollar hemp industry.
We will also be building hemp-growing communities for other groups such as "Abused" Women & Children Village Kins Communities, the "Orphaned" Children Village Kins Communities, "Homeless" Village Kins Communities and the "Healers" Village Kins Communities (the healers are professionals who are knowledgeable in the modalities to treat these traumatized groups). These particular communities are all synergistically aligned to work simultaneously supporting each other.
For example, the "Healers" heal the traumatized veterans and women & children; the women support orphan children and orphan children want to see people living in homes and not homeless. Thus, a portion of the hemp grown in each community goes to create and support another community, giving everybody a sense of giving back and helping others as they help themselves. This circles back to the healers who also work to heal the veterans and the other traumatized groups. This is the economic foundation on how the sale of the hemp products operates as a "quantum economic matrix" or an example of "symbiotic economics" which is more complex than this brief description allows.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," said, "We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together." In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40x40-ft organic vegetable gardens have been planted and are currently producing food and kenaf, according to Jory. These organic gardens double as experimental growing modules using an entire array of different growing technologies to see which modalities grow the best in a desert environment. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval.
"We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans," said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing "Veteran Village Kins Community" become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The "Veteran Village Kins Community" will include a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, a state-of-the-art testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.
"As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America's industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with 'Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.' being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape," said Perlowin. "As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It's a big part of our mission to give back. Recently we have expanded our Kins Community concept internationally focusing, but not limited to, Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Africa, and Uruguay."
According to Perlowin, we hope to have 50 "master hemp growers" working on their first Veteran Village Kins Community in Arizona. To date, we have growers from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada and, Arizona who have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on 5 of the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin says he'll call this "The Great United American Hemp Project." Any grower having an interest in pursuing a joint venture on 5 of the 300 fenced in acres in Arizona should contact Project Manager Dwight Jory. Or, anyone interested in attending the 2 - 7-day hands-on hempcrete house building should contact Dwight Jory as well. (Dates to be determined.)
