E21 Golf Company Space Shot: 3 Days or 3 Years in Orbit 11/10/2006
TORONTO, Nov 10, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Element 21 Golf Company ("E21") (OTCBB: EGLF) & (FRANKFURT: BJQ) reported new analysis of the trajectory for its golf ball which will be hit off the International Space Station, some 360 miles above the Earth, this coming Thanksgiving Day by cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin.
New orbit trajectory calculations by Russian scientists contradict NASA's original projections that the golf ball will orbit the earth for approximately 3 days, and suggest a 3 1/2 year orbit is more likely, as the ball will descend by a few yards a day. Earlier this year similar sources speculated that the ball may collide with the International Space Station with a force of a 40,000 lbs truck moving at 100 miles per hour. The Company will be analyzing the data to reconcile the large discrepancy, and hopes to put the trajectory calculations up on its website for wider review.
Traveling at 6 miles per second, the golf ball is expected to reach the billion mile mark before its orbit eventually decays, and the ball burns up in the atmosphere. "This will easily become the longest golf shot recorded on our solar system. It would be an even longer shot, but for the fact that it is being hit behind the space station, and therefore will have slightly lower initial velocity than the space station itself," noted E21 Golf Company spokesman, Executive Vice President and General Manager Bill Dey. "It's probably going to be the longest shot in the galaxy, but we didn't want to overstate things."
Mikhail Tyurin is actually not an experienced golfer, but has been coached by such golf luminaries as LPGA Hall of Fame golfer Carol Mann and PGA Director of Instruction Rick Martino here on Earth, he also received a little more untraditional practice underwater in full space suit regalia, using only one hand, to simulate the limitations of the space environment.
"On a more serious note, this will commemorate the 35th anniversary of the time astronaut Alan Shepard hit golf balls on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission, one of the most enduring images of space exploration. While Alan Shepard's original Moon Shot, only traveled 206 yards, it is highly unlikely that the Space Station shot will eclipse that moment in terms of drama and meaning, even though it completely overshadows it in length. At best, we can remind people of that wonderful moment 35 years ago."
"We were drawn to the idea by the fact that our Patented Scandium Metal Alloy clubs are literally an outgrowth of rocket science. Scandium is in use on the space station, and first caught the scientific community's attention when it was employed on Russia's famed MiG jets."
Applied to the Golf industry, E21's unique patented Scandium Metal Alloy offers unparalled performance in terms of consistency, feel and accuracy, and represents the first new advanced material to be employed in Golf equipment in decades.
About Element 21 Golf Company:
E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using proprietary E21 Scandium Metal 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 Scandium products are 55% lighter and offers 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 $5.5 billion U.S. 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!

VisiTrade is a new, investor-to-investor, online stock-trading platform operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with just one flat fee of $7 per transaction. There are no associated exchange fees and no broker commissions are added onto the trade.
Facilitated through a registered broker/dealer, the newly launched VisiTrade platform allows on line investors to post their buy and sell orders and to trade shares with each other, in a pure investment community free of brokers and market makers. VisiTrade receives a licensing fee from the broker for the service.
"VisiTrade provides online investors with a unique platform for trading equities at their convenience any time of the day, regardless of market hours. By becoming a publicly traded company, we are able to rapidly inform millions of online investors about our service, gain easier access to capital funding, and ultimately attract thousands of online traders to becoming VisiTraders. VisiTrade eliminates the middlemen and therefore unnecessary costs, allowing trading amongst online investors the way it was meant to be," said Larry Bolton, President of VisiTrade LLC.
"Over the past few years the Company has explored numerous options in an attempt to bring value to its shareholders. I am very excited about the opportunity that merging with VisiTrade creates," commented Mike West, President of Square Shooter Incorporated. "I believe VisiTrade has the potential to be an enormous success and very popular with online traders, currently estimated at over 30 million. This new business could generate substantial revenues, giving our shareholders the opportunity to realize meaningful value for their shares. I look forward to the months ahead as VisiTrade introduces its service to the online investor community."

(OTCBB: ATVE), a Company that operates as a payment technology solution provider, is pleased to announce that GSPS has signed a Heads of Agreement with E-COIN Limited (E-COIN), a private UK- and Spanish-based gaming group. The Heads of Agreement was signed on October 31, 2006, and lays out the terms under which the companies plan to enter into a formal "Acquiring and Processing Operations Agreement" for the on-line gaming industry.

With the signing of this agreement, ActiveCore/GSPS have taken the first major step in the commercialization of their revolutionary digital coin technology.
Peter Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of ActiveCore, stated, "GSPS has been working on this transaction for several months and it is a great deal for both organizations." Mr. Hamilton went on to say that "the agreement with E-COIN is a very significant one as it has several parts to it that include an advanced royalty payment, an implementation services contract and most importantly, an ongoing perpetual royalty stream earned from transactions processed under the Acquiring and Processing Operations Agreement."
Neil Fishenden, Chief Executive Officer of GSPS, stated, "We are very excited to have acquired E-COIN as a customer and look forward to working with them to launch the ePocket digital coin technology in the on-line gaming market." Mr. Fishenden went on to say that "we have already begun to assemble a team dedicated to the rapid implementation of our product over the next several months to ensure that both E-COIN and ActiveCore/GSPS achieve significant revenue generation in the shortest possible time."
Mr. John Clarke, Founding Director of E-COIN, stated, "We have been searching for a new payment technology that would give us a unique offering for on-line gamblers, and the ePocket digital coin technology is exactly what we looking for.

We believe these attributes will make it the payment method of choice for anyone who is concerned about anonymity or identity theft and fraud, which are serious and increasing problems with older payment methods."

About GSPS/ePocket Inc. (http://www.ePocket.com)
ePocket brings true electronic cash to the world for the first time, making purchases over the Internet as secure and simple as handing cash to a clerk in a store. ePocket enables banks to provide their customers with the ability to withdraw electronic cash in any currency from their regular deposit accounts, and send this electronic cash to merchants or other consumers in order to make payments. Cash created electronically is just like real cash, except there are no coins, bills, or plastic cards -- it is entirely electronic. Just like cash, electronic cash does not require the identification of a payer. This provides privacy for consumers, and eliminates fraud and identity theft, making ePocket the most cost-effective payment solution for Internet commerce. ePocket payments cost merchants less than any other payment technologies. Their extraordinary cost effectiveness enables merchants to profitably accept very small payments of just one or two dollars. In contrast to other payment schemes, consumers do not have to open additional accounts with a payment intermediary. Consumers do not have to give up any identity or credit information in order to accomplish a payment. This makes ePocket payments completely secure and provides complete privacy for consumers.

TJSS (.19) Million Dollar Homes and $100,000 Cars, Everybody's Getting Them
Market Wire "US Press Releases "
HOLLYWOOD, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/13/06 -- Taj Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TJSS)
You may think we are talking about the American dream, but guess again, this is fast becoming a way of life for the rapidly increasing affluent class in India, represented by "new money" and a younger breed of Indian millionaires who enjoy spending their wealth.
Gaming software developer Taj Systems, Inc. has seen the trend developing during recent years, thus establishing the Indian community as its primary market. Today, Taj Systems benefits with a first-to-market advantage in this sector, and plans further diversification by acquiring suitable companies in an aggressive move to penetrate one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
In recent weeks, Taj experienced a record number of player sign-ups through licensees like TeenPatti.com. Those numbers should continue to increase from India with millions of new Internet users getting online each month. Entertainment and gaming companies are poised to make money, as they have in the U.S., especially with increased discretionary capital.
According to a November 9th BusinessWeek.com article titled "India Rolling in Rupees," the Indian economy is growing at a rate of 8% annually, creating lots of wealthy people who enjoy the finer things in life, such as million dollar homes, Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, even top retail brands like Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, and Gucci.
The article credits growth sectors such as software services, telecom, finance, and real estate for "minting new millionaires every day," in India. The Bombay Stock Exchange has also more than doubled in the past two years creating substantial wealth for many Indian investors.
The difference however between India's booming stock market and the U.S.'s high-flying dot.com era of the '90s is that India's growth appears to be real, based on revenues, earnings, and expansion, not necessarily on "irrational exuberance," as described by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in 1996.

NeoMedia's qode to Web-enable 5 Million Bottles of ONE Water at 4,000 U.K. Retailers
M2 "Press Wire "
M2 PressWIRE - November 13, 2006 - FORT MYERS, Fla., and LONDON - NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), an innovator in market-driven technologies, said today that ONE, the ethical water brand, has become the first European product to sign to use NeoMedia's qode application on all its packaging to communicate with its customer base via the Mobile Internet.
ONE bottles will link to the Mobile Internet via qode starting in December, when the first shipments of more than 5 million bottles bearing qode-enabled "smart codes" will start appearing at more than 4,000 retail outlets throughout the U.K. ONE enjoys a reputation for breaking new ground in marketing, and by having NeoMedia's qode linking its bottles to information and charitable giving capability on the Mobile Web, it believes it is once again at the forefront of the latest developments in the marketing field.
NeoMedia's patented qode (www.qode.com) suite is an easy-to-use set of applications -- qode reader and qode window -- which provide One Click to Content connectivity for products, print, packaging and other physical objects to link directly to specific desired content on the Mobile Internet. qode reader works with camera phones, letting users "click" on two-dimensional "smart codes" to access the Mobile Web site to which the code is linked, while qode window lets users reach the same destination by entering a key word, slogan or product name.
ONE water (www.ONEwater.org.uk), supported by celebrities including David Tennant and Hugo Speer, gives 100% of its profits to Playpumps, the charitywhich brings fresh drinking water to where it is most needed in Africa.
Playpumps work on a simple concept: as children spin on a merry-go-round, water is pumped from below the ground, and is then stored in a tank just a few feet away, making a safe, plentiful supply of water available in the community. To date, nearly 700 PlayPump systems have been installed in southern Africa, providing safe water to a million people living in rural and peri-urban communities. In the future, thousands more PlayPumps will be installed throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, bringing the many benefits of ready access to clean drinking water to millions.
Initially, smart codes linked to qode will appear on 5 million bottles of ONE water, which is stocked by more than 4,000 retail outlets in the U.K., including Tesco, Morrison's, Waitrose and Co-op supermarkets, Total petrol stations, and virtually all colleges and universities in the U.K. as well.
ONE water said that qode will unlock the potential of the Mobile Web, allowing its consumers real-time access to important information about the brand and its humanitarian work in Africa, together with competitions, special offers, and even over-the-air donations.
"qode will play a leading role in our marketing approach because it gives us unprecedented flexibility combined with the immediacy of working in real time to deliver promotions and establish relationships with our consumers, " said Duncan Goose, founder of ONE Water and CEO of Global Ethics.
Martin Copus, president of NeoMedia Mobile and COO of NeoMedia Technologies, said he and his company "are delighted to be working with ONE. It is a brand with a reputation for leadership and innovation. It is our hope that qode will help drive sales of the product as well as charitable donations."

MENV (.028) Announces Alberta Oil Sands Operations to Commence
PrimeZone "PrimeZone "
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:MENV), (Frankfurt:NDD), ("Micron") is extremely pleased to announce that operations on the Alberta Oil Sands prospects are about to commence. The seismic operations are scheduled to begin shortly, followed by a drill program to delineate out the potential size of the oil sand resource. The Oil Sands of Canada hold recoverable reserves of 175 billion barrels with a proven reserve life of 480 years and another 130 billion barrels of potential reserves, which is second only to Saudi Arabia's 262 billion barrels. As a comparison, the United States has only 29 billion barrels of recoverable reserves and has decreasing domestic production while their demand is increasing by 1-2% every year. Canada is in an optimal position to supply oil to the U.S. with its favorable political climate, close proximity and being one of the few non-OPEC countries which can grow its oil production.
Bernie McDougall, President of Micron stated, "This is potentially the most important news that the company has ever had. The oil sands of Alberta is one of the single largest natural resources deposits in the world and for a company of our size to have an interest in multiple leases is a substantial growth driver to build the company on. Now that we are about to start up operations it should signal to our existing and potential shareholders the seriousness of management's commitment to grow the company. It has been a very quiet time for the company recently, but we feel that going forward the company will be far more active on its oil and gas prospects. Currently the stock is trading at more than 75% below our recent highs and that was at a time when we had far less assets and had not yet started work on the Oil Sands prospects we have interest in. We feel that 2007 could be a watershed year in terms of growth for Micron."
Micron has added three additional Alberta Oil Sands leases consisting of 4 new sections in the world-class Athabasca Oil Sands region in 2006. Two of these new sections are within 5 miles of Micron's existing Athabasca Oil Sands Prospect. These two new sections are close to the existing Oil Sands leases held by Connacher Oil and Gas's Great Divide Prospect, as well as to other major Oil Sands projects by Devon, EnCana, and ConocoPhilips. The other new Alberta Oil Sands lease acquired consists of two contiguous sections that lie just southwest of the announced Royal Dutch Shell Plc Oil Sands leases which they recently purchased for approximately $400 million.
Micron is planning to re-initiate a marketing plan to create additional awareness for the company as the oil and gas operations start up. There has been very little marketing since the company changed its symbol to MENV, therefore management feels the market may not be aware of what the company is doing. This plan will primarily be email based and will target 100 percent opt-in private and institutional investors that trade stocks in Micron's price range.
Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that has exposure to four separate leases in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is the largest Oil Sands region in the world, and has production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells. Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized company with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands. Micron's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. Micron currently has multiple independent sources of oil and/or gas revenue from production in Canada and Texas. Micron is presently involved in multiple oil and gas prospects, and continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron's market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects.
If you have any questions, please call Micron at (604) 646-6903. If you would like to be added to Micron's update email list, please send an email to info*micronenviro.com requesting to be added.

About U.S. Sustainable Energy
USSEC holds patent pending technology for a new breakthrough biofuel and carbon-based fertilizer. USSEC has successfully demonstrated the most cost effective method of producing biofuel estimated at $.50/gallon according to exhaustive studies and independent Lab confirmation. The company has developed the process, units and catalyst that will transform agricultural biomass into biofuel and fertilizer. This technology offers a solution for foreign oil dependence, balancing industrial and agricultural concerns with environmental issues and stabilizing and eventually reversing global greenhouse gas emissions. USSEC's research and development has successfully demonstrated the core technology in its fully functional facility located in Port Gibson, MS. The company is currently pursuing fully scalable implementation and deployment at further locations. Unlike other biomass gasification, the USSEC process can operate at a variety of scale, converting even waste biomass into fuel and fertilizer. The fuel produced will ultimately be more valuable than ethanol or methanol, and the USSEC process can convert biomass materials at an efficiency that cannot be matched by currently planned operations. In addition, unlike virtually all other approaches for biomass to energy, which deplete soil nutrients, the USSEC process restores and enhances soil mineral and carbon content. As a direct result of this revolutionary approach to integrated energy and fertilizer production from biomass, the USSEC process effectively removes Greenhouse Gases from the atmosphere, and can do so profitably before the value of Green Certificates and Carbon Credits are considered.

WNBD (.023) Texas Sales Begin for Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner(R)
Market Wire "US Press Releases "
BARRIE, ON -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/13/06 -- Winning Brands Corporation (PINKSHEETS: WNBD) (www.WinningBrands.ca) announces that Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® retail store sales have now officially started in Texas.
The first site in Texas to switch from "test" mode to "live retail" is in Pearsall, Texas because of good acceptance of Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® with consumers during local trials. The community is the largest between Laredo and San Antonio on Interstate 35, the proposed NAFTA Super Highway between Mexico and Canada. Winning Brands Corporation has arranged for trial use across America in a variety of store sizes and communities throughout 2006. The company's plan is to ensure that Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® will be accepted by a wide range of consumers before major investment is made in multi-media consumer advertising. Results are now starting to come in with a decision to proceed with retail sales by every such trial retailer participating in the program so far.
Winning Brands' Sales Manager Lorne Kelly regards the decision to move forward in Texas as important. "Texas is larger than life in many ways," says Kelly, "but also very down to earth; your product has to be real to make it in Texas. We've had the patience to test with real Texans in real situations. The result is a decision by our retail partners that Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® belongs in the state." Winning Brands Corporations will service its independent retailers through distributors, which are now coming on board. "This is all very encouraging for 2007," concludes Kelly.
Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® is an environmentally responsible clean-up solution that has come to the attention of professionals in the Paint and Home Improvement industry because of the product's ability to convert most oil-based and other complex stains and messes into simple clean-up with plain water instead of harsh chemicals. The appeal of Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® is not just its technical performance but also its kindness to skin -- a feature increasingly important to consumers and retailers.
Winning Brands' CEO Eric Lehner states that WGR Lumber & Hardware in Texas symbolizes the reach by Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® deep into the market by being relevant to consumers across a "very wide range of places and situations." He added that "Winning Brands Corporation has a very solid market foundation to build on in the coming years, here and abroad."
Winning Brands Corporation manufactures the product in North America for domestic and export needs. The company's mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives. The company's product range includes consumer and industrial versions of Winning Colours Multi-Cleaner® as well as Solvent Free Solutions(TM) alternatives to toxic Dry Cleaning solvents and other environmental cleaning solutions.
