DC Brands International Reports 18 New Distributor Kits Requested in the Past 30 Days
DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- July 18, 2006 -- At the close of business Tuesday, DC Brands International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DCBI) announced that in the past 30 days they have received requests for an additional 18 new distributor kits to begin the evaluation process as interest in the brand continues to increase.
There were 2 sent to AZ, 8 sent to FL, 2 sent to CA and one kit sent to AL, MA, MI, OH, CT and PA. The company's VP of Sales Richard Muscarella said, "This is a result of both inbound calls and our constant outbound efforts. In any event, none of these distributor kits are sent out cold. We have detailed discussions with each potential distributor regardless of their origin of contact to ensure that any eventual relationship could make sense with all parties and that no conflicts exist that would prevent us from going forward. The bottom line is these packages probably represent something in the order of 20% of the contacts that were made after weaning out the ones that either would not fit into our plans or those that have pre-existing agreements with competing brands. I would expect a reasonably large percentage of them to convert into distributors in the weeks and months ahead. If we are able to convert at least 40% of them by the 4th quarter, it will put us above our goal for new distributor acquisitions this year."
DC Brands International, Inc. markets its Dickens Energy Cider through a growing network of distributors nationwide. They intend for this new entry to the energy drink market to become a direct competitor to the market leaders Red Bull®, Monster®, and Rockstar®. However, they differentiate their drink with an additional ingredient, Horny Goat Weed, which adds a unique flavor that has won mouths over across the nation. As stated in previous press releases, DC Brands is also in the process of releasing their new "bag-in-the-box" and their alcohol versions of the product. (Please refer to those previous releases for more information.) The company's headquarters is located at 9500 W. 49th Ave Wheat Ridge, CO 80033.

Quantech Launches New Mobile Advertising Platform
LONDON, July 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Quantech Electronics Corp. (Pink Sheets:QTCE), software developer for marketing communications, announced the official launch of its mobile advertising technology package with comprehensive coverage of all mobile communication modes.
Quantech's new development targets audiences across all four mobile channels: the mobile Web, video broadcast and VOD, downloadable Java applets and games, and text messaging. With this wealth of data, Quantech new mobile advertising platform provides the basis for extremely effective customized marketing.
Quantech's new package allows advertisers to create all-around campaigns that target existing and potential customers by handset, device type, browser, carrier and content. Quantech can target nationwide, or by local geography with 25-, 50-, or 100-mile radii from a single zip code. Quantech also links advertisers and publishers of mobile content in mutually beneficial joint exchanges by allowing advertisers to target recipients on a content basis from the over 40 different content partners, ranging from news and sports, to entertainment and dining out.
Mobile communications and entertainment remains one of the hottest sectors in the InfoTech market. About 700 million cell phones were sold worldwide during 2005, making the cellular phone by far the fastest-selling single item of consumer electronics. Most new cell phones carry numerous advanced features including MP3 players, digital cameras and high speed (3G) internet access. According to a new study published by The Shosteck Group, there is potential for this market to grow rapidly over the next five years. The study predicts that under the most optimistic scenario, the global market could grow to US$9.6 billion by 2010.
"Cellphones have rapidly become complex, multi-purpose personal communication devices, as well as devices for financial transactions, with increasingly powerful circuitry and batteries. Significant growth is expected in the U.S., where cell phone market penetration is slightly over 61%, as well as emerging markets worldwide. As cellphones become the personal communication device of choice, astute marketers will develop marketing campaigns that utilize these special cellular communication features to improve marketing campaign effectiveness," says Liat Matilsky, CEO of Quantech.
For marketers, mobile marketing and advertising has great promise -- it combines the wide reach of television with the precision of direct marketing and the tracking potential of the Internet. As display advertising (banner ads) and search, and even TV-style advertising, come to mobile, the opportunities for marketers to reach and engage with consumers through this medium will expand even further.

Intrepid Producing Pipeline Quality Green Gas Tuesday July 18, 1:39 pm ET
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, July 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intrepid Technology and Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IESV - News), a renewable alternate energy company, announces that they, have successfully processed biogas generated from dairy manure into commercial pipeline quality natural gas. This is a major breakthrough by Intrepid as they believe that they are the first commercial firm in the United States to achieve such results on a privately funded basis.
ADVERTISEMENT Results from American Mobil Research Inc. in Casper, Wyoming, a widely used and respected natural gas analysis lab, has confirmed that the gas produced from Intrepid's newly installed gas conditioning equipment at their prototype demonstration facility located at the Whitesides Dairy north of Rupert, Idaho, meets the heating value requirement for direct injection into a commercial pipeline distribution system. The gas contains acceptably low levels of sulphur and the Methane purity content obtained by Intrepid is 99.7% which is equivalent to 1008 BTU's per cubic foot of gas, exceeding expectations.
Jake Dustin, President of Intrepid, acknowledged a strong team effort. "While I am obviously pleased with the tremendous job our in-house staff has done, we are also extremely appreciative of the close cooperation and collaboration we have received from our technology partners and equipment suppliers. That is particularly true of the Andigen/Utah State University team who developed the proprietary Induced Blanket Reactor digester technology that we selected as our demonstration platform. They are outstanding individuals and the close relationship we've developed with them over the past 3 years is a critical part of our current and future success."
Dr. Dennis Keiser, CEO of Intrepid stated, "With this critical milestone achieved, we are now ready to proceed with delivery of our first commercial load of green gas to Intermountain Gas Company and begin building regional biogas fields in earnest. Having established the fact that animal waste can be converted into a clean burning, pipeline transportable, and renewable energy source, we intend to start developing the first renewable large scale gas field in the world and we start on that project today."
Dr. Keiser further commented, "As a nation, we are faced with dwindling supplies of natural gas and we agonize about the necessity of importing increasing amounts of energy. I believe that natural gas produced from animal waste can be a potential source of gas to replace this imported natural gas. What we just achieved at our commercial demonstration plant in Idaho goes a long way towards showing that animal waste made into pipeline-quality natural gas can be suitable for this replacement."
About Intrepid Technology and Resources, Inc.: We are an application innovator in Alternative Energy technology and production and of biogas products and services designed to assist in worldwide energy independence, reduce pollution and carbon emissions from renewable agriculture feedstock and industrial and agriculture waste materials.

Senators approve funding for stem-cell research By Margaret Talev
McClatchy Newspapers
(MCT)
WASHINGTON - Senators summoned their family ghosts Tuesday, and for a few moments they almost lived again - relatives who trembled helplessly, slowly lost their minds or withered away from incurable diseases.
Voting 63-37, the Senate gave final approval to expanding federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research, which many scientists believe offers the potential for finding cures for Parkinson's, diabetes and other illnesses that afflict millions of Americans.
President Bush says he'll veto the bill Wednesday. It will be his first veto since he took office in 2001. He opposes the research because it involves destroying human embryos, which he considers taking life, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said Tuesday.
Within hours of Bush's veto, the House of Representatives will vote to override it, but it's certain to fall short of the two-thirds majority needed.
The president will sign two other modest stem-cell bills, one preventing embryos from being harvested solely to extract stem cells for research, and the other encouraging research that doesn't destroy embryos.
Even if the main bill's fate is clear, at least for this year, Tuesday's Senate debate was dramatic, as many Republicans joined Democrats and various celebrities in urging Bush to reconsider, while others stood with the president, saying morality demands no less.
"We will all die," said Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., noting that Parkinson's felled three of his relatives, including Morris K. Udall, the late Democratic congressman from Arizona and 1976 presidential candidate. "But no one should have to die as they died."
"This is about the value of human life," countered bill opponent Sen. Rick Santorum R-Pa., who said he thinks many scientists lack sufficient moral standards.
Advocates argued that allowing federal money to be spent researching new stem-cell lines from embryos that fertility clinics otherwise would destroy is better understood as offering mercy to the living than as destroying nascent life.
Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., described the pain of losing his mother to Alzheimer's, a brother-in-law to Lou Gehrig's and a grandfather to Parkinson's. He remembered that his grandfather kept working as a butcher even as his fingers shook and the family wondered "if he was going to chop one off."
"I suspect we could go from desk to desk, from member to member, and each of us could tell a personal story from our own family," Carper said.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a letter Tuesday to Bush warning that a veto "would send a disastrous message to limit the role the federal government must play in pursuing the most promising forms of basic scientific research."
"Mr. President," Schwarzenegger wrote, "I urge you not to make the first veto of your presidency one that turns America backwards on the path of scientific progress and limits the promise of medical miracles for generations to come."
Actress Mary Tyler Moore was at the Capitol, cheering a bill she called "pro-life."
Behind the scenes, senators said, former first lady Nancy Reagan made calls urging support for the research.
In a statement released after the vote, she said, "The pleas of so many suffering families have finally been heard. Time is short, and life is precious, and I hope this promising research can now move forward."
In 2001, Bush limited federal support for research to stem cell lines already in existence. But scientists say those lines are contaminated and of limited use, and that the private sector and a handful of states can't do nearly as much research without federal backing.
Religious conservatives opposed to the legislation predicted that adult stem cells and umbilical cord blood would become more promising, but for now scientists say embryonic stem cells are far more versatile.
As for the argument that the embryos come from fertility clinics, Santorum said: "I know people will dismiss that (by reasoning), `Well, they would be discarded anyway.' All I can suggest is that every life, whether it's in a suspended state in an IVF clinic, whether it's standing on the floor of the United States Senate attempting to defend and protect those suspended lives, every life has meaning. Every life deserves protection."
Despite facing a veto, pro-research senators said they were confident that, with Congress' continuing support, Bush's prohibitions ultimately would be lifted, if not under him, than the next president.
"We're going to see increased federal funding both for embryonic and adult stem-cell work," predicted Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who's a physician.
House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, disagreed, predicting that science soon would find a less controversial way to develop equally promising cell therapies. "I don't think it will be an issue in the future," he said. "I think science is moving way down the road in a big hurry where this will no longer be an issue."

Shepard Jr.'s historic Apollo 14 Mission. E21 also announced that Russian Cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin will be given a golf lesson from LPGA Hall of Fame member Carol Mann and Rick Martino of the PGA of America on Thursday, July 20, 2006 in Houston, Texas.
On July 11, 2006 a Flight Safety Certificate was signed by Mr. Michael T. Suffredini of NASA for jettisoning a golf ball into orbit around the earth during a Russian Extravehicular Activity (EVA) this November. The International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 14 crew of Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria (NASA) http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/lopez-al.html and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin (FSA) http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/turin.html will be trained for this program in the Hydro Lab (EVA simulation) at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center located in Star City, outside of Moscow, Russia from July 31 to August 8.
Prior to this training, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin will be given a golf lesson by Carol Mann and Rick Martino. The lesson will take place at 6:30 PM Thursday July 20, 2006, at the South Shore Harbour Country Club in League City, located south of Houston, Texas. Also attending the lesson will be children of the local charity "Challenger Learning Center."
During her Hall of Fame career Carol Mann won 38 golf tournaments on the LPGA Tour, including the US Open in 1965. In 1968, she won 10 times and won the Vare Trophy with a then-record 72.04 scoring average. Ms. Mann was also one of the most influential Presidents of the LPGA serving from 1973 to 1976. For the Women's Sports Foundation Ms. Mann served as President from 1985-1990. Based in Houston, Ms. Mann is also a top ranked golf teacher hosting students and groups at The Woodlands C.C. in The Woodlands, Texas and takes an active role in facilitating the relationships between the World Golf Hall of Fame, located in St. Augustine, Florida, and its members and worldwide golf organizations.
Rick Martino is Director of Instruction for The PGA of America. He teaches at The PGA Learning Center in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and is ranked among the Top 50 instructors by Golf Digest Magazine and Top 100 of GOLF Magazine. Mr. Martino is also author of "The PGA Manual of Golf." His public instruction can be viewed on pga.com. Rick also appears on the TNT broadcasts of the PGA Championship, the next being from Medinah C.C. near Chicago on August 17-20, 2006.
"We were fascinated and thrilled when Admiral Alan Shepard hit his moon shots and now honored and intrigued at the new challenges of helping Mikhail Tyurin launch his shot into orbit," Mann and Martino jointly stated.
"We are extremely pleased to receive final approval for this historic and international event," stated Dr. Nataliya Hearn, E21's President and CEO. "We are honored that Carol Mann and Rick Martino have agreed to work with Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin. Having world renowned golf teachers conducting the lesson is only fitting."
About Element 21 Golf Company:
E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using proprietary E21 Alloys. Through a sophisticated multi-technology production path E21 manufactures shafts, drivers, and other clubs with marked improvements in distance, accuracy and feel over competing products. In recent months a number of high profile golf professionals have switched to or began testing E21's Eagle One shafts. E21 Alloys are 55% lighter and offer 25% strength to weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf equipment industry. The advanced dynamics of E21 Alloys and the material economics offer a performance-enhanced alternative to manufacturing driver clubs with Titanium, the largest segment of the annual 4 billion dollar golf equipment marketplace.
E21 recently announced its "Golf Shot Around the World Mission" in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Alan B. Shepard Jr.'s historic Apollo 14 Mission. Just about every single record for distance in the golf industry will be shattered this fall when an astronaut will hit a golf ball into orbit around the earth -- using an E21 golf club. It is only natural that this event takes place on the International Space Station, considering that E21 Alloys are also used on the Space Station in high strength, fatigue resistant applications.
E21 Golf -- The Evolution Is Inevitable!

MGEN (.014)Signs Exclusive Agreement with UNDIET Book Author Jul 19, 2006 8:00:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2006
Med Gen Inc. (OTCBB:MGEN), manufacturers of the national brands Un-Diet(TM), weight loss system, Snorenz(R), snore relief throat spray, Painenz(R), roll on pain relief formula, and Good Nights Sleep(R), sleep aid throat spray, announced today that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Bronwyn Schweigerdt MS, author of the UNDIET book to market her book together with the company's Un-Diet(TM) weight loss system.
"It's a double win," exclaimed Paul Kravitz, Chairman of Med Gen in an interview today. While the UNDIET book deals with nutrition and habits and the Un-Diet(TM) system deals with appetite suppression, metabolism and thermo genesis (fat burning), both programs followed simultaneously can produce the desired weight loss, quickly, healthily and painlessly.
"No one said you should stop eating," said Kravitz, "...but eating the way Bronwyn describes in her book UNDIET is not only proven through testimonials as the correct way, but it carries with it the philosophy behind Med Gen's Un-Diet(TM) system; Weight Control System For Life." Although both the book and Med Gen's all natural weight loss system bear the same name, there was absolutely no intent at collusion and it was purely by accident that the discovery of the UNDIET book was made.
Appease(TM), Weight Shield(TM) and Simply Trim(TM), the three products that make up the Un-Diet(TM) system, have come through the testing phase with flying colors. Only one glitch in a leaky "O" ring. "Missing the 'bathing suit' season will not hurt our marketing program because there are more weight loss products sold pre and post holiday season than in any time of the year," said Kravitz.

CRDM (.075) FDA Grants Review of Issues Pertaining to Cardima's REVELATION(R) Tx PMA Jul 19, 2006 8:00:00 AM
FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- Cardima, Inc. (OTCBB: CRDM) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted a review of the scientific dispute underlying the FDA's refusal to approve the Company's 2002 pre-market approval application (PMA) for the REVELATION� Tx Micro-catheter System. The review will be conducted by the FDA's Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel and is expected to take place in either the fourth quarter of this fiscal year or the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. After hearing presentations from both the FDA and Cardima and conducting its own review of the issues, the Panel will make a recommendation to the Director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health as to whether it believes the PMA should be approved. The Director will then make his own decision on whether to approve the PMA.
"We are pleased that the FDA has referred our PMA for the REVELATION� Tx to this Panel," said Cardima Chief Executive Officer, Gabriel B. Vegh. "We believe that the Panel's independent experts, who have had no previous role in reviewing this PMA, will give it a fresh look, although we cannot offer any assurance that they will find our data compelling."
About Cardima, Inc.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include: the uncertainties associated with the prospects for FDA approval of our pre-market approval application for the REVELATION� Tx; the prospect for any future clinical trials or regulatory activities; the risks associated with the Apix loan facility's restrictive covenants, security interest, fee provisions and other terms and conditions; the risk that the Company will not be able to raise additional capital in the immediate term as needed to continue operations and the risk that we will be unable to secure a strategic transaction involving the Surgical Ablation System. Additional risks and uncertainties are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006, and in the Company's subsequent SEC filings.

VDWB (.189) Teams with RapidSolution in Providing a Complete Music and Video Conversion Platform New Relationship Sets Consumers Free From Copy-Protection Frustration, Limitation of Use Jul 19, 2006 8:26:00 AM
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Video Without Boundaries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VDWB), a leading provider of interactive, media-convergent home entertainment devices, and RapidSolution Software AG, today announced a working partnership to bundle RapidSolution's popular Windows software Tunebite with all MediaREADY devices.
MediaREADY 4000, 5000, Flyboy, CoPilot and Glider customers will receive a trial version of the Tunebite 3.0 software which protects consumers from the frustrations of copy-protection formats and creates unprotected private copies of music and audio book files by recording them as they are being played. The latest version of Tunebite 3.0 also offers support for copy-protected video clip formats.
"We are very excited about joining RapidSolution in promoting consumer-friendly services and broadening the usefulness of consumer-purchased media," said Video Without Boundaries, Inc. President and CEO Jeffrey Harrell. "By bundling the Tunebite 3.0 software with our MediaREADY media center and portables devices, we are giving consumers a tremendous flexibility to manage their collections and have the choice of where and how they want to enjoy them."
"The MediaREADY line of media centers and portable devices is exactly the kind of device we imagined enabling when we developed Tunebite 3.0," said Norman F. Foerderer, Director, Sales & Marketing at RapidSolution Software. "We are impressed with features of the product line and are excited to be able to partner with VWB and make the consumer experience even more simple and friendly."
The combination of the RapidSolution's Tunebite 3.0 software and the MediaREADY products means increased flexibility and ease of management for the consumer's music and video library. Users will now have the ability to easily convert music and video clips for playback and management on MediaREADY devices. Most of our customers are getting their digital music and video from services like iTunes, Napster, and Yahoo. These popular services often require strict implementation of proprietary Digital Rights Management which can severely limit playback on devices which don't support these proprietary formats.
Since 2004, RapidSolution has helped responsible consumers exercise their legal right to be able to play music they have purchased online on all of their playback devices, free from the limitations of copy protection. To this end, previous releases of Tunebite allowed users to play copy-protected music and audio book files on the PC in software players supporting copy-protection formats, and to simultaneously record them for the purpose of creating unprotected copies for private use. Tunebite 3 Platinum now also supports the ability to record copy-protected video clips while they are being played.
Music or video files recorded with Tunebite may not be shared with third parties or made available for third-party access. The exchange, giving or sale of Tunebite recordings is forbidden by international copyright law and can lead to criminal prosecution by the copyright holder. The user assumes all liability for personal or third-party misuse of Tunebite or recordings made with Tunebite. RapidSolution Software AG expressly disclaims any and all liabilities for the misuse of Tunebite or recordings created with Tunebite.
Copyright Law and the Legal Consequences of Misuse
Any user who installs Tunebite on his or her PC, records music tracks and/or video clips and transfers or makes these available to other individuals, no matter in which form or for what purpose, makes himself liable and punishable under international copyright law and is subject to criminal prosecution by the injured parties. Individuals that have received files that have been recorded with Tunebite are likewise punishable under these same laws.

INTK (.075) Launches Nanoboost to Increase Horsepower and Reduce Energy Consumption in Automobiles Jul 19, 2006 8:30:00 AM 2006 PrimeZone Media Network
NAPLES, Fla., July 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Industrial Nanotech (Pink Sheets:INTK), a company that specializes in nanotechnology innovation and product development, today announced that the Company is set to launch Nanoboost, an Automobile Fuel Efficiency and Power Booster. A re-engineered version of the Company's Nansulate coatings, Nanoboost is designed to increase the horsepower of a car when applied to its engine and fuel components, as well as reduce the amount of energy used by its air conditioning system when applied to other specific areas of the car, thus reducing fuel consumption.
As previously announced by the Company, Nanoboost has been used by prominent NASCAR and Australian V8 Supercar Race Teams to increase horsepower and speed as well as keep the interior of race cars cooler. The coating is also being considered by BMW and Porsche AG for next generation sports cars and by one of the "Big Three" American Automakers for incorporation into production automobiles at the manufacturing level due to its energy saving capabilities.
"The users of Nanoboost in racecars have experienced very positive results. It is a proven performer for the NASCAR race team and for Betta Electrical, a V8 Supercar race team currently second in the point standings, whose drivers finished 1st and 3rd in the Clipsal 500 race in Adelaide, Australia in March. The powering and cooling effects of Nanoboost in racecars and preliminary tests in regular trucks and automobiles have peaked the interest of automakers in the U.S. and Europe and we continue to move forward in our discussions with them. We anticipate tremendous success from this product, particularly with oil and gas prices continuing to soar and such an extreme heat wave upon us," commented Francesca Crolley, VP of Operations and Marketing for Industrial Nanotech.
Nanoboost will be available to consumers on Industrial Nanotech's website at www.industrial-nanotech.com upon its launch.

AIDO (.35) and Bar Code India Limited Sign Exclusive Distribution Agreement for RFID Sales in India Advanced ID Corporation Expands Its Operations to a New Market in India Through Its Partnership With Bar Code India Limited, a System Integration Company Jul 19, 2006 8:00:00 AM
CALGARY, AB -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- Advanced ID Corporation (OTCBB: AIDO) has signed an agreement that gives exclusive rights to Bar Code India Limited to manufacture and sell Advanced ID tags and readers in the domestic market in India.
Advanced ID now expands its operations to India through its partnership with Bar Code India Limited (BCIL) which has a large presence in India through their network of offices in major cities of Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore, Kolkatta and Chennai. The company has ten years of experience in track and trace solutions in various industrial markets. Some recent successful projects include tracking systems for cargo at the four major airports in India with an approximate order value of $2 million USD and automobile manufacturing for tracking on their assembly lines and spare parts departments.
This agreement provides for Advanced ID products to be incorporated in system applications now being sold by Bar Code India as well as selling AIDO products on a standalone basis. Both LF and UHF readers and tags are included in this agreement.
Mr. Ashish Bhutani, Director of BCIL, said, "We are very excited about this partnership with Advanced ID. India has one of the largest livestock populations in the world, numbering well over a 1/2 billion animals. As India integrates with the global economy and adopts global practices of track and trace, we can see wide scale adoption of AIDO RFID tags on livestock. Though the RFID market is still in its infancy, the recent clearance by the Indian Government for use of the UHF band exclusively for RFID clears the decks for its adoption. As India becomes a major exporter and also caters to growing domestic consumption fueled by a retail boom and rising middle class incomes, the RFID market looks very promising for Advanced ID."
The UHF animal tags designed by Advanced ID are very suited to India and offer great performance in terms of read distance and are lower in price as compared to most competitive products available internationally. The Advanced ID tire tags are another exciting product which can cater to the needs of tire companies. India has a very large and vibrant tire industry with all of the international giants having large manufacturing facilities in the country. Annual truck and passenger tire production is approximately 150 million.
According to Dan Finch, President and CEO of Advanced ID Corporation, "We consider signing this agreement with Bar Code India to be very important to our success in Asia. Not only have we established a partnership with a major company serving India, but Advanced ID now has a sales channel in one of the most important markets in the world. Leveraging the experience and unique product profile of Advanced ID coupled with the experience of BCIL in integrating solutions in India, we expect to be a major player in the animal ID and tire track market in India."
As the world's largest democracy, India has aggressively embraced new technologies for years and as RFID provides new value-added solutions in the Supply Chain and Food Chain markets, both Advanced ID and Bar Code India will benefit from this strategic partnership.
Advanced ID looks forward to serving not only the tire industry and the animal identification industry In India but also other markets where Bar Code India already has a significant market position.
"We expect tremendous growth for AIDO in 2006 and 2007 and our Bar Code India partnership is another example of our corporate commitment to ally ourselves with strong partners in countries around the world," added Dan Finch.

ZLDV (.40) Zaldiva Sees Continuing Growth in Comic and Collectibles Market Fueled by Hollywood's Obsession With Pop Culture Company Seeking Acquisitions to Build Its Presence and Become a Major Player in the Industry Jul 19, 2006 8:30:00 AM
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- Zaldiva(TM), Inc. (OTCBB: ZLDV) (XETRA: UZ8) (FRANKFURT: UZ8), an online retailer of new and vintage Pop Culture collectibles, sees the current explosion of Hollywood blockbusters focused on comic and Pop Culture themes driving increased demand for its products. The company believes strongly in this trend and is now actively seeking synergistic acquisitions to grow its business and establish itself as a major player in the industry.
"We are extremely pleased that Hollywood has grabbed hold of this phenomenon and continues to feed the fire," commented Robert Lees, CEO of Zaldiva, Inc. "Our goal is to continue to grow our business organically, through the continued expansion of our Internet business and the opening of our first retail location, which we expect to significantly and positively impact our revenues."
The release of the upcoming "Clerks 2," the sequel to the wildly successful Pop Culture classic "Clerks," is set to open on July 21st. The newest Superman release was met with enthusiastic reviews, which helps bolster the market for collectibles and comics based on the movie. The popularity of these films drives the collectibles market and in turn the growth of Zaldiva's business.
Lees added, "We expect the growth in the collectibles market to continue and therefore we are anxious to identify acquisitions in this traditionally 'mom and pop' space. We feel that these businesses can be acquired for reasonable multiples and be easily integrated into our current infrastructure."
The original "Clerks," written by Kevin Smith, was released in 1994 and is now a cult classic. The two most well known characters to emerge from the film were Jay and Silent Bob (played by Kevin Smith himself). Since then, there have been several spin-off movies starring/co-starring Jay and Silent Bob. "Mallrats" came out in 1995, "Chasing Amy" came out in 1997, "Dogma," starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, was released in 1999, and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," the most recent film, debuted in 2001.
"Clerks 2" was screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and received an eight-minute standing ovation from the midnight crowd.

WWA Group Inc. (OTCBB:WWAG), one of the world's largest auctioneers of transportation and industrial equipment, announced today that for the month of June 2006, WWA Group recorded its highest international gross auction sales in any one-month period since 2000. Combined gross auction sales for the month reached a new record of $37.4 million, surpassing WWA Group's previously announced expectations of $34 million.

Collectively, WWA Group's five auctions sold 3,005 items with 1,031 registered bidders, drawing 333 consignors from 20 countries.
"We anticipated that June would be a very strong month in terms of performance and year-over-year growth, and are excited to report that our gross auction monthly sales surpassed our initial expectations," commented WWA Group CEO Eric Montandon. "June marked a significant new milestone for us with the conclusion of our first auction in Qatar, one of the world's fastest-growing, cash-rich developing economies in terms of international tourism and business development. We believe that Qatar's proximity to our established infrastructure in Dubai provides us with advantages in cost efficiencies and economies of scale that will enable us to continue to serve the equipment market in Qatar on a profitable basis."
Montandon concluded, "Other highlights of the month include generating positive cash flow and recognizing income from our Australian franchise, and generating sales from our high-margin services including online bidding and video auctions.

HBNRF (.505) New Alberta Gas Discovery for Habanero Jul 19, 2006 8:00:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2006
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2006--
Habanero Resources Inc. ("Habanero") is pleased to announce that it has been informed by the operator of the Cardium Burnstick Prospect (announced December 29, 2005) that the well has encountered gas and flowed at a cumulative total of approximately 1.6 mmcf (million cubic feet of gas per day) during the 24-hour test just completed (final production levels may vary significantly from this number). The well is now shut in for buildup and it is expected to be tied in for sales by mid-August. Habanero has now earned an interest in the offset section and follow-up locations are expected to be drilled sometime in the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007. Habanero has a 10% working interest in this prospect.
Jason Gigliotti, President of Habanero Resources, stated, "It is very exciting to have a new gas discovery and new source of revenue for Habanero. When you couple this new gas discovery with the recent additions to our Alberta Oil Sands holdings, clearly these are times of growth for Habanero and Habanero's shareholders. At this time we are trading more than 65% below our recent high, despite now adding a new source of revenue and adding to our Alberta Oil Sands interests and being further along on these prospects. Add in the fact that oil prices are higher today, you can see why management is optimistic about the short and long term prospect of Habanero."
Habanero is an emerging junior oil and gas company focused on oil and gas exploration and production in North America. Habanero is one of, if not the smallest, market capitalized company that has interests in five separate Oil Sands prospects, including now having exposure to approximately 55,000 acres of Oil Sands interests though our equity ownership in Andora Energy Corporation (a private company of which Habanero owns 700,000 shares). Habanero's goal is to become a mid-range oil and gas producer.

Rent Finders USA, Inc. Prepares to Dramatically Increase Awareness by Launching Online Advertising Campaign Market Wire - July 19, 2006 8:38 AM (EDT)
WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 19, 2006 -- Rent Finders USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: RFDU) is pleased to announce that the Company is preparing to launch an online advertising campaign. The goal of the campaign is to dramatically increase awareness and draw in additional home renters and buyers to the Company's Florida Rent Finders website, www.floridarentfinders.com.
www.floridarentfinders.com is currently experiencing record website traffic and is expecting over 10,000 unique visitors to their site, this month, as compared to 5542 and 5791 for the two previous months. The Company's goal is to increase their Florida Rent Finders website's monthly visitor total to over 30,000 each month.
This increase in web traffic has also been coupled with increased retail traffic and reduced advertising costs.
Retail traffic July 1st through July 15th of this year has increased almost two-fold from the previous month. The total retail traffic for the firm in the entire month of June was 1,341 perspective tenants/buyers. In the first half of July Florida Rent Finders stores saw approximately 1200 households looking for primary housing.
"This near 100% increase in store level traffic is wonderful in and of itself, but considering that we reduced overall advertising expenses from May to June by over 20%, and believe that significant lower advertising dollar can be sustained; we are seeing even greater refinement in our developing business model," stated William Luckman, CEO. "We are very confident that the increased number of visitors to our website will drive our sales up to new levels. The online advertising campaign that we are launching will cost us very little, but should have significant impact on our overall numbers. In conclusion, the market fears are causing some adverse reactions in the business in that fear is becoming very relevant in the spirit of homebuyers. Thankfully we can always rent homes to the average consumer and see significant revenue."

ReelTime to Launch ReelKids Online Network Jul 19, 2006 9:00:00 AM SEATTLE, WA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- ReelTime Rentals, Inc., http://www.reeltimetv.net (PINKSHEETS: RLTR), the first broadband network offering a true full screen, DVD quality, "point, click and watch" online television experience, announced today they are launching a service specifically for the younger set.
Initially the programming will reside on ReelTimeTV.net under the children's and family banners. The intent is for ReelKidsTV to have its own domain where only child-appropriate programming will be available. This way, parental controls will be in effect, and kids never need enter the main site.
ReelKidsTV will offer both animated and live-action programming aimed towards kids of all ages, from pre-school, 7-9 year olds, tweens and teens. The programming will include everything from brand new series, current movies and classic cartoons.
"Kids are a very important part of our business plan. They are the most internet-friendly demographic and their needs are vastly different from any other group. They are more willing to embrace new content platforms and their brand loyalty is unparalleled," said Barry Henthorn, CEO of ReelTime Rentals, Inc.
ReelTimeTV.net uses a proprietary technology that delivers streaming content through a broadband connection and allows users to view programming on any full size television screen in DVD quality, without having to wait for a download. Users can fast forward, pause or rewind the program, so they control every aspect of their viewing experience. ReelTime's technology will provide the public with the next generation of online viewing, designed with the built-in capacity to scale up for unlimited growth.

- CirTran Projects 30% Increase in Sales for Second Quarter [GFNNPVP]
SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--July 19, 2006-- CirTran Corporation (OTC BB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, today said it projects reporting a 30% increase in sales when it files a 10-Q for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 next month. Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's founder, president and CEO, also said that the company is projecting sales of approximately $2.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2006, as compared with $1.7 million for the first quarter, which ended March 31, 2006. "This growth is particularly noteworthy as CirTran was able to move forward in a period when many U.S. and international manufacturing companies suffered through a downturn," Mr. Hawatmeh said. The CirTran president and CEO also reported to shareholders on several aspects of the company's business and finances: The Evander Holyfield "Real Deal Grill(TM)," said Mr. Hawatmeh, is expected to go into full production shortly. He said changes in the product's design, as requested by a food stylist consultant, are currently being made in the Read Deal Grill, a year-round indoor consumer electronics product endorsed by Holyfield. Mr. Hawatmeh said he anticipates that the design changes will be submitted over the next week, and that filming of the infomercial featuring the four-time heavyweight champion of the world will be filmed in mid-August, after his comeback fight set for Dallas on August 18th. The True Ceramic Pro Flat Iron Styling Kit, Mr. Hawatmeh said, was reintroduced in a marketing program launched nationwide earlier this week via DRTV. He said a co-marketing agreement with a value of at least $12 million per year to CirTran (if minimums are met) has been signed with Media Syndication Global, LLC (MSG), a multi-channel consumer products direct marketing company, to offer the popular the True Ceramic Pro hair styling kit in the U.S. and overseas. Following a successful test marketing study conducted by MSG, CirTran contracted with the New York City-based long-time direct response industry innovator leader to co-market the True Ceramic Pro, manufactured in China by CirTran-Asia. The popular sold-on-TV product was designed by Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC (ABS) of Los Angeles, which had generated more than $30 million in sales during the brief 10-month campaign from 2004 - 2005, from whom CirTran recently purchased assets, including flat iron and hair dryer kits, intellectual property, customer lists, a 30-minute infomercial, and trade secrets, for $2.3 million in bankruptcy court. The second installment from Anahop, the private firm that has committed to a $2 million investment in CirTran, in addition to its original $1 million investment, is due to make the second installment at the end of July. Mr. Hawatmeh said he anticipates the $200,000 payment will be in cash and on schedule, "as has been Anahop's practice". Diverse Media Group, CirTran's newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in multi-channel product marketing and distribution in the direct response and entertainment industries, is currently in what Mr. Hawatmeh called "final negotiations with prospective clients in entertainment, vitamins/supplements and Internet software products," and is hopeful of having its first contracts signed before the end of this quarter. In addition, "CirTran also has several other projects which are heating up with the summer weather," he said. "This includes some lower volume but higher margin manufacturing at our Salt Lake City plant, as well as backlog and new projects built by CirTran-Asia."

PAIM (.0005) Begins Refining Its Own Gold, Silver and Platinum To 99.95% Purity and Acquired Gold, Silver & Platinum Refining Systems Jul 19, 2006 9:45:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2006
Chief Metallurgist Elvis Hidalgo and President/CEO Randolf Villanueva of Pearl Asian Mining (OTC: PAIM) announced today that Pearl Asian acquired a Smelting and Refining System to refine its own gold, platinum and silver to 99.95% purity. This gold and platinum system works without any acids. It was strongly recommended over any type of acid refining system. It is far safer, cleaner and easier to use. It's far less expensive and has a virtually indefinite shelf life. The manufacturing company has been around since 1918 and proved their equipment to be effective and efficient. It is estimated that there are over 5,000 units in use today and from just 1999-2001, over 5 metric tons of gold was refined in these refining systems. It has dual capacity and can run batches of up to 1 kilo of gold within an hour run time. It is so compact, about 1 cubic foot in size, and versatile.
Pearl Asian has included this revenue-making enterprise as a subsidiary of the Pearl Asian Mining Industries (PAIM) that also complements its actual gold-mining operations. Pearl Asian's mission and vision to enhance environmental protection will be achieved, as this system is proven safe because it does not use acids, cyanides or toxic chemicals and can be used in dust collection. It is odorless and has no smells. It produces 99.95+% purity every time. It costs only $1-$2 per ounce of gold to run.
"By refining our own gold, silver and platinum, Pearl Asian will have saved over $10,000,000.00 in our first year of production, and Pearl Asian has already begun offering this smelting and refining service to other local and small-scale miners, thus generating extra revenues immediately," exclaimed Randolf Villaneuva, President/CEO.

HTRE .26
H3Enterprises Launches H3Players.com; Revolutionary CyberSports League Will Offer the Biggest and Best in Prizes and Online Competition Jul 19, 2006 10:10:00 AM Copyright Business Wire 2006 NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2006--
H3Enterprises, Inc. (OTC:HTRE) today announced that its breakthrough CyberSports website (http://www.h3players.com) is open for business. CyberSports have become a multi-billion dollar segment of the $25 billion Video Game market and continue to be one of the fastest growing niches within the booming Computer Gaming industry. For as little as $20 a month H3Players.com will allow its Players to compete in games in which the results will be recorded and will enable them to earn "PlayerPoints" that can win daily, weekly and monthly prizes such as Ipods, HDTV's, resort vacations, and free entry into major events and Big Jackpot Tournaments culminating in H3's World Series of CyberSports.
"H3Cybersports are expected to become the major revenue and profit center for HTRE, both in-store and online. All HipHopSodaShops, HTRE's award winning food and entertainment franchise, will feature dozens of multi-player X-Box and Play Stations that will give in-store gamers the same points, rankings and prizes that H3Players earn online. People of all ages and skill levels can sign up and begin playing on H3Players.com right away and will be matched against competitors with similar experience and gaming talent. H3Players will be the first online gaming site to offer Jackpot opportunities for even the 'Novice Players,'" explained Brian Peters, President and Co-Founder of H3Enterprises.
H3's CyberSports League also gives gamers the world over the opportunity to win instant prizes and bragging rights by competing with and defeating any one of TeamH3's All-Star lineup of athletes including Streetball Legend Adrian "Hollywood" Walton, Chicago Bulls star Ben "BG7" Gordon, and NFL Champion Warren Sapp. H3's One-On-One All-Star Challenges give all Players the chance to meet, interact, and compete with HTRE's rapidly growing "Galaxy of Stars" and will be a unique attraction to the H3CyberSports experience. Prizes such as a 30 gig Ipod video featuring songs and videos from Hip Hop superstar and SodaShop Developer Juelz Santana will only be available to active H3 League members. Sapp, Gordon, Hollywood, and Juelz will soon be bringing many additional stars and Champions to the TeamH3 lineup, making the One-On-One Challenges a central feature of H3Cybersports and a must for every true sports fan and gamer, particularly those dedicated to the Hip Hop culture.
HTRE has recently signed a Letter of Intent with a large cash deposit on a massive 10,000 sq. ft. unit located directly across from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay. The site is expected to house hundreds of CyberSports multi-player terminals in an environment built for H3's elite players to square off in fierce, high stakes competition. HTRE's first major tournament offering hundreds of thousands in cash prizes is being planned for early 2007 and will likely take place in the sparkling new Tampa Bay facility. Warren Sapp, who will be operating in the shadows of his home Stadium that helped fulfill his Super Bowl dreams, will be a major principal in the proposed Super CyberSports Palace along with many of the other superstars who have become an integral part of TeamH3. HTRE's "CyberSports Palace" is projected to become one of the Company's largest income generators outside the web and is destined to become a landmark for sports fans and gamers around the world.

SEIH (.0009) S3 Investment Company Subsidiary SINO UJE Receives Distribution Rights to Medical Diagnostic Testing Products in China Market Jul 19, 2006 10:30:00 AM
TEMECULA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- S3 Investment Company, Inc. (OTCBB: SEIH) today announced that subsidiary SINO UJE, Ltd. has been awarded distribution rights in China to the HandiLab line of medical diagnostic tests from Zonda Incorporated, a California-based company. The HandiLab line of tests includes innovative, rapid, self-contained diagnostic devices for the detection of chlamydia, gonorrhea, yeast (Candida albicans) and group A Strep.
The agreement covers the process of gaining State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) approval for HandiLab products, the development of marketing strategies, and their integration into SINO UJE's distribution network.
Zonda's HandiLab products are currently distributed in approximately 18 countries in Europe, where they carry the CE mark, which signifies that the product complies with the relevant health, safety, environmental protection requirements and can therefore be legally placed on the market. The HandiLab-C test is the only over-the-counter test (self testing) for chlamydia that has received the CE mark.
"This agreement brings SINO UJE a highly sought-after line of medical products for distribution -- this one in the growing infectious disease testing market for which there is an expanding demand around the world," stated Jim Bickel, chief executive officer of S3. "The HandiLab tests, much like For Life's Stomocur devices, are disposables, which provides SINO UJE with more products that must be reordered on a regular basis, generating greater revenues for both the supplier and SINO UJE as the distributor. We expect that these types of products will contribute to growing revenues streams as S3 begins to report consolidated financial information on its subsidiaries in upcoming financial filings.
"We are looking forward to working closely with Zonda Incorporated and expect to update our shareholders on a regular basis as we integrate this product line into the SINO UJE distribution network," added Mr. Bickel.
About Zonda Incorporated
Zonda Inc. (www.zondaincusa.com) is a privately held company that specializes in test products that serve the medical diagnostic, bacterial food testing and environmental surfaces testing markets. The company currently distributes its products primarily into European markets and has launched a comprehensive expansion program that is expected to result in Zonda products being utilized for both professional use and over-the-counter applications in locations worldwide.
About S3 Investment Company

S3 holds a 100% equity interest in Redwood Capital (http://www.redwoodcapinc.com), which assists private Chinese companies in accessing U.S. capital markets by utilizing a network of investment banking relationships, and a 51% equity interest in SINO UJE (http://www.sinouje.com), a non-stocking distributor of medical and industrial high-tech products to markets throughout China.

Torbay Holdings, Inc.: US Patent Office Issues Notice of Allowance for the Gripless Mouse Design Patent Torbay Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: TRBY) announced today that the US Patent Office had issued a "Notice of Allowance" for TRBY's patent that seeks to protect its "Gripless Mouse" design.
The utility of this patent describes the process by which a computer mouse can be used without the need for grip. In doing so this reduces the physiological demands placed upon computer mouse users' hands, which are a result of muscle and tendon strain arising from the maintenance of a gripped static posture upon regular computer mice. This may be more easily understood as improving "mouse gas mileage" insofar as it is less fatiguing to work in the posture that our invention describes.
The patenting process looks at the novelty of the utility described in a patent application. We believe that this Notification provides further evidence to support our claims of design innovation. At the same time, it also can provide us with the opportunity to protect and enhance our exploitation of it, either in our own products or under license. The Company believes therefore that this development can help to solidify the tangible value of the Company's intellectual property assets.
Designer Appliances, Inc. is leading the way in the development of Anti.Fatigue(TM) tools and technologies to manage the impact that fatigue is now understood to have upon computer users. Anti.Fatigue(TM) design conforms to Universal Design criteria so produces products that are more "Accessible and Assistive" to all, including persons with dexterity impairment or disability. We are all capable of fatigue.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements contained in this release that are not historical, are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, certain delays and risks detailed from time to time in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

- UC HUB GROUP, Announces Signing Of Memorandum of Understanding to Acquire the Assets Of International Wastewater Systems Jul 19, 2006 12:13:00 PM Copyright Business Wire 2006
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2006--
UC Hub Group, Incorporated, (OTCBB: UCHB), is pleased to announce that they have signed a binding MOU to acquire the assets of International Wastewater Systems, (IWS) an operating private wastewater treatment system company in exchange for shares of Common Stock. UC Hub will form a subsidiary that will continue to expand the municipal infrastructure applications of a Digital City. IWS has been operating in Montana and Idaho for nearly ten years and has over 20 systems working today and has spent several million dollars developing and implementing this critical service to society. IWS is a profitable company as of 2006 is approved by the EPA. IWS has also completed the testing in February 2006 for expansion across the U.S. by the EPA and NSF.
IWS has spent many entry years completing the stringent requirements for approvals of systems and subsequent operation, monitoring, measuring and reporting. These stringent requirements exist at both the State and Federal level. The strict regulatory and licensing requirements make the time and resources for such market entry encumbering and often cost prohibitive. IWS has completed licensing and deployment of these approved and complex environmental systems.
IWS continues to focus on the Rocky Mountain States and has now branched out by working to develop Native American Reservations in various states. The online and real time Java based software differentiate the IWS offering as it reports, measures, monitors giving the system operator access and control on site or remotely.
UC Hub presently offers a Municipal government software product, OT2.com, and management believes , the existing city customers in the Rocky Mountain States combined with the future Native American Reservations will greatly accelerate market entry, revenue models and potential government funding. Assisting these areas to move beyond the Digital Divide with Digital Community Solutions will bring closer the Digital City Vision for the shareholders of UC Hub and the inhabitants of these communities in need. UC Hub has now digitized portions of, municipal government, banking, content distribution, and the environmental verticals.
About UC Hub:
UC Hub Group Inc., (OTCBB: UCHB.OB) is a digital distributor of electronic services to businesses and municipalities. Presently, UC Hub Group offers municipal government software (OT2.com); communication services through Three-Inc.com and virtual banking tools through eSAFEcards.com. as complimentary components of the Digital City vision. The value consists of proprietary technology, strategic relationships, leveraged digital distribution capability, existing customers, and a one-stop-shop to run a "Digital City" and its transactional based electronic services. A "Digital City" will potentially have many of the important sectors (the neural network comprised of Banking, Government, Communications, Health, Education and Entertainment,) available for connection to a Digital Access Hub.
Safe Harbor statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements in this release relating to completion of the acquisition and the positive direction are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, contractual difficulties which may arise, the failure to implement eSAFE on a national scale, the future market price of UCHB common stock and UC Hub's ability to obtain the necessary financing.

Friendlyway Corporation Releases June 2006 Corporate Update friendlyway Corporation (OTCBB: FDWY), a self-service provider of customer-facing public access self-service systems, today released its June 2006 Corporate Update reporting continuing progress on new business initiatives and new systems rollouts.
Pantel Systems reports that during the month of June final engineering was completed for its new enhanced e-banking kiosk. Following necessary insurance and banking certifications, components for an initial rollout of 20 units were ordered and fabrication began. Each kiosk will provide convenient banking services including ATM, bill pay, debit card, money transfers and check cashing within a small footprint. The company has reported 92 confirmed contracted locations for its kiosks in the Denver area and is focusing its first deployments within the Hispanic community. The company, however, has indicated it will be sending two units to potential customers for testing and evaluation for larger scale rollouts. Each kiosk will replace existing ATM machines that are actively in use at this time, thus insuring immediate usage and revenue generation. The company continues to report that it is actively involved in final negotiations with funding sources that will allow it to ramp up to installations of 100 units per month beginning as early as September contingent upon the successful installation of the first 20 units. The company concludes by stating that it is accepting delivery of the initial units at the release of this report and installations have begun.
The Board of Directors held a June meeting in which the Directors accepted the resignations of Alex von Welczeck as CEO and Director of the Company and Henry Lo as Chief Financial Officer. The Board also approved a resolution to submit to shareholder consent the name change of friendlyway Corporation to PSI Corporation.
"The Pantel team is excited about entering the deployment phase of the e-banking kiosk and its opportunity to serve the unbanked communities in providing the financial services that the bank consumer has become accustomed to," said Upcraft. "August will see the planned deployment of another 30 units in the greater Denver area. This will further expand the penetration and the recognition of the consumer convenience of the e-banking kiosk. In addition, Pantel has entered into advertising contracts to provide targeted messaging to the Hispanic community via digital signage that is displayed on a 32" LCD screen incorporated into the kiosks."
"Pantel has partnered with key companies regarding the management/maintenance of the kiosks and the selling of ad space on the kiosks. The advertising revenues will have a major impact on Pantel as the transaction activity generated by the kiosks grows month after month," Upcraft said.

Anglo Swiss Resources Retains Derrick Strickland, PGeo. for Diamond Exploration Lac de Gras, NWT Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ASW)(OTCBB: ASWRF)(BERLIN: AMO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Derrick Strickland, PGeo. a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Strickland will assist the Company's technical team in the planning and execution of the diamond exploration programs at the Company's Canadian properties, in the Northwest Territories ("NWT").
Derrick holds an MBA and works as an independent geological consultant. Having worked throughout Canada, the United States, Japan and Mongolia, his career has spanned nearly 20 years. He has numerous years of diamond exploration experience, including seven years at Ashton Mining of Canada and most recently as the project manager of Peregrine Diamonds re-evaluation of the DO27 kimberlite located in the Lac de Gras area of the Northwest Territories. The Lac de Gras area is the center of the Canadian diamond producers.
The immediate exploration program is being prepared from the results of the initial 2006 airborne geophysical survey of the eastern portion of the 91,856 acre Fry Inlet Property, Lac de Gras, NWT. The Fry Inlet property is an option/joint venture between Anglo Swiss Resources (60%) and New Shoshoni Ventures (40%) (See N.R. June 25, 2005).
Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. of Mississauga, Ontario, conducted the 1,695 line-kilometre survey during February and March of 2006 with multi-channel electromagnetic and high-sensitivity magnetic geophysical measurements taken along parallel flight lines (100 meters), every 4 meters along the survey lines.
A formal report of the results of the survey is now being finalized under Mr. Strickland's supervision and the Company expects to receive numerous potential drill targets for diamondiferous kimberlites for its summer drill program. This report has successfully identified numerous magnetic/electro-magnetic anomalies with characteristics similar to the geophysical signatures generated by known kimberlites in the area. This portion of the Fry Inlet Diamond property contains the LI-201 kimberlite, which was determined to be significantly diamondiferous during early stage exploration drilling performed in 1997 by Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc.
More importantly, the anomalies occur in a cluster-like assemblage near the major regional NW dyke swarm which transects the Lac de Gras region and lie within the "Corridor of Hope" the host area to Canada's first two diamond mines.
The Company has a majority interest in 4 distinct properties of merit covering over 170,000 acres as it works towards establishing itself towards the discovery of the next diamond mine within the Lac de Gras region of the NWT. In light of the close proximity to producing diamond mines, the presence of numerous diamondiferous kimberlites and kimberlite indicator minerals, management is of the opinion that these claims are highly prospective for the further discovery of diamonds.
The Company has approved the grant of 525,000 incentive stock options for the duration of Mr. Strickland's association with the Company exercisable at 10 cents per share for a maximum period of five years; subject to regulatory approvals and vesting provisions of the Company's Stock Option Plan.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Len Danard, President & CEO
Anglo Swiss Resources Inc.

SKFT .13 - StrikeForce's GuardedID(R) Anti-Keylogging Solution Has Consumers & Corporations Lining Up at the Door to Purchase Jul 19, 2006 2:46:00 PM
EDISON, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/19/06 -- StrikeForce Technologies (OTCBB: SKFT) announced that its anti-keylogging technology, which addresses the growing #1 online concern of identity theft, has consumers and corporations registering for early copies. The scheduled release date is in the September 2006 timeframe and will be available under the registered name of GuardedID®.
Keylogging attacks are on the rise. Latest statistics show that nearly one in five organizations have been hit this year by a keylogging attack. "StrikeForce is addressing the #1 online concern: identity theft," said Avivah Litan, vice president and research director for Gartner. "Companies need to safeguard consumer trust -- especially if they want to drive more transactions online." According to the SANS Institute, the non-profit security research organization, nearly 10 million households have at least one system infected by a keylogging program. According to a recent article in SearchSecurity.com (June 21, 2006) data theft affects 88 million-plus Americans. There are an estimated one billion consumers online globally, many of which make online payments who would therefore be potential users of our GuardedID product to protect their identities. "This could potentially mean millions in revenues," said Mark Kay, CEO of StrikeForce Technologies.
Keyloggers reap havoc by installing themselves on your computer without your knowledge for one purpose only, to steal your personal and financial information. Thieves do this by copying each and every keystroke as you type. These keyloggers copy information like your bank's URL, your username & password, your credit card numbers, your social security number and any other information an identity thief is looking to steal. While most of the information they steal is personal in nature, there's been a significant increase in corporate data fraud, as well as child predators using keyloggers as the weapon of choice.
StrikeForce's GuardedID is an anti-keylogging solution that gets downloaded directly into your browser (i.e. Windows Explorer) as a toolbar, making all confidential information invisible to would-be thieves' prying eyes. GuardedID works by encrypting each and every keystroke the instant that you type it, then delivering those encrypted keystrokes directly to the browser through its own Patent Pending secure channel. GuardedID should even secure you if your system is already infected with multiple keylogging programs. GuardedID is designed to help protect anyone that shops, banks, emails or surfs online.
"StrikeForce has developed a very exciting go-to-market strategy for GuardedID, and distribution plans are in place and ready to go," says Mark L. Kay, CEO . For consumer purchases, StrikeForce is launching a easy to navigate "one-of-a-kind" consumer website that protects the consumer's personal information and credit card information by downloading a one-time browser version of GuardedID. "The ability to launch an anti-keylogger and protect the consumer's personal and financial transaction information in real-time over the internet is an unprecedented first for both StrikeForce and the transaction industry," says Ted Svoronos, VP of eCommerce for StrikeForce. "Any website that offers ecommerce transactions or collects personal information should be using our real-time session edition," says Svoronos.
