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.

Among the factors that could cause actual results or timelines to differ materially are risks associated with research and clinical development, regulatory approvals, supply capabilities and reliance on third-party manufacturers, product commercialization, competition, litigation, and the other risk factors listed from time to time in reports filed by DC Brands International with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to risks described under the caption "Important Factors That May Affect Our Business, Our Results of Operation and Our Stock Price."

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."

Element 21 Golf Company's International Space Station Golf Program Is Approved by NASA Cosmonaut Readies for Event With Lesson With Hall of Fame Member Carol Mann and the Director of Instruction for The PGA of America, Rick Martino Element 21 Golf Company ("E21") (OTCBB: EGLF) reported today that NASA has approved E21's "Eagle One Mission" in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Alan B. 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!

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.
About Med Gen Inc.
Med Gen Inc., in business since 1996, manufactures and markets the world's first liquid spray snoring relief formula, Snorenz(R) for which its founders received a patent in 1998. Since its existence, Med Gen has continued to develop its "spray's the way" technology, introducing Good Night's Sleep(R) and most recently the Un-Diet(TM) weight loss plan. The company markets its products to major chain and drug stores, as well as direct sales via the company web site and direct to consumer television, radio and print advertising.
The company has stayed within its specialty niche for the past 10 years, producing products using its STW(TM) (Spays the Way Technology) as a format for its delivery systems. The company selects, designs or invents products that relate to large market common health issues for which there are no competing products within the company's niche.

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.

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.

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.
