Established in 1998, View Systems, Inc. serves one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global economy: the security industry. The company manufactures computer software and hardware used for threat detection and surveillance applications, giving it access to an estimated $100 billion per year industry. According to an analysis of global threats to government and businesses, this puts View Systems in a strong strategic position to maintain its presence in the global market for the foreseeable future.

The company’s primary product offering, ViewScan, is a proven improvement on traditional Concealed Weapons Detection Systems (CWD). Using a PC-based software display, the system identifies the location and number of threat items, such as knives, guns and razor blades, while ignoring innocuous personal artifacts like coins, keys and belt buckles. By avoiding electro-magnetic fields, radiation, millimeter waves or x-rays, ViewScan provides completely passive security scanning that’s safe for use with pacemakers, implants and during pregnancy.

ViewScan is an ideal solution for venues requiring efficient, high-volume screening because it doesn’t require the removal of jewelry, shoes or personal effects. In addition, the system’s visual interface, which displays the exact location of potentially harmful objects, makes secondary screening quick and easy for security personnel. According to the company’s research, the ViewScan system can scan up to 1,200 persons per hour, representing a significant improvement over traditional electromagnetic induction scanners.

The ViewScan system is currently in use in a variety of vital market segments – including correctional facilities, judicial facilities, probation offices and federal facilities – in states around the country. Using a combination of exclusive technology licensing agreements and continued development and refinement of its product lines, View Systems has established itself as a major player in the expanding security industry. In April, the company continued on this trend by filing for a patent on its newly enhanced ViewScan platform.

The company’s product line appears to place View Systems in a strong position for continued growth moving forward. With a recorded 5.7 percent of public schools implementing CWDs for enhanced security during the 2011 school year, according to the Institute of Education Sciences, it’s clear that View Systems will have ample opportunity for further expansion into a variety of vital market segments. Look for further refinement of its product line and penetration of new industry sectors to set the stage for substantial opportunity for this promising company in the years to come.

CannabisFN this morning highlighted GROWBlox Sciences’ role in the cannabis and pharmaceutical industries, paying particular attention to the company’s “unique business model, long-term potential in pharmaceuticals, and short-term potential in raw material sales.”

Read the full report here: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/growblox-sciences-takes-integrated-approach-to-cannabis-medicine-2015-05-25?page=1

Twenty three U.S. states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana, and according to IBISWorld estimates, broader acceptance of cannabinoid-based therapies throughout the U.S. has spurred the medical cannabis industry’s CAGR of 16.2% to reach $2 billion in revenue between 2009 and 2014.

As CannabisFN points out, GROWBlox Sciences stands out from numerous would-be competitors in the industry with its cutting-edge plant biology and cultivation technologies and scientific team comprised of professionals in multiple areas of relevant medicine:

• Chief Science Officer Dr. Andrea Small-Howard
• Big data expert Dr. Long Nguyen
• Botanical expert Dr. Ulrich Reimann-Philipp
• Immunologist expert Dr. Helen Turner
• Small molecule expert Dr. Tony Ortiz
• Clinical investigator expert Dr. Daniel Chueh
• Orthopedic expert Dr. Alfredo L. Axtmayer
• Liver disease expert Dr. John Abroon

Whereas many companies in the cannabis industry administer generic forms of THC or CBD in an attempt to elicit a desired response, says CannabisFN, GROWBlox’s approach is to correlate the profiles of active ingredients within cannabis, including cannabinoids and terpenes, with the symptom and disease-specific improvements in patient outcomes – putting the company at high valuation potential when it comes to market application and opportunity.

The report notes:

“Based on an analysis of preclinical and clinical data from thousands of peer-reviewed studies, the company has identified the most effective cannabinoid and terpene profiles for the treatment of conditions within seven therapeutic categories, including cancer treatments, cardio protection, metabolic syndrome, pain management, neurological disorders, and inflammation.

“These categories represent hundreds of billions of dollars in potential value, with markets like the neurological disorder market alone accounting for $952 billion in value. By taking a targeted approach that leverages research already done, the company’s strategy could dramatically improve the odds of success, whilst cutting down on the costs associated with hit-or-miss early stage testing.”

CannabisFN also highlights several other differentiating advantages, including an accelerated drug development and regulatory strategy.

GROWBlox’s proprietary drug discovery program enables drug development within three to five years instead of the traditional 15 to 20 years. This strategy also significantly reduces development costs – which typically sit around $1 billion for “big pharma” pharmaceutical commercialization – to less than $10 million.

Using its proprietary smartphone app as a drug discovery engine, GROWBlox correlates strain profile information with symptom relief and then leverages the existing cannabis safety profiles, fast-track approvals, and orphan drug designations, of research partners, which are incentivized with equity in proportion to the value of data contributed that becomes part of a patent, IND filing, or NDA filing with regulatory bodies.

“In essence, the company is focused on the initial discovery of promising compounds, while universities handle pre-clinical trials, CROs handle clinical trials, and pharmaceutical partners handle distribution. The discovery phase provides the greatest return on capital and diversification relative to other areas of the development process that are much more capital intensive,” the report states.

CannabisFN wraps up the report by highlighting GROWBlox’s end-to-end operations and technologies, the company’s long-term and short-term potential, and broader peer comparison.

“GROWBlox Sciences has clear long-term potential with its innovative approach that leverages big data to produce lower-risk clinical trial candidates. With 188 human cannabis trials registered with the National Institute of Health and more on the way, the company has an excellent starting point of about a thousand potential combinations within the cannabinoid-related therapy space.

“In the nearer-term, the company plans on earning revenue from the sale of certified raw materials through dispensaries. These plans were solidified in May when it announced the formation of Growblox Sciences Puerto Rico LLC, which will legally grow cannabis raw materials that will be exclusively sold to GROWBlox Sciences for distribution in the U.S. and other countries where it’s legal …

“The nutraceutical and cosmeceutical formulations could also be sold in stores without approvals, since the CBDs are sourced from low-THC hemp plants. In some ways, the company could then compete with the likes of GNC Holdings Inc., or Nutraceutical International Corp. in the provision of legal over-the-counter supplements designed to support health.”

Debit cards are viewed as an easy way to access the funds in a person’s checking and savings account. The problem that subsequently surfaces, however, is that should the card or PIN be stolen, overdraft issues become irrevocable. Many of these problems can be prevented by keeping careful track of one’s debit card and the amount of money that is currently in the account. Easier said than done.

Despite vigilant habits around keeping track of one’s card, numbers can still be stolen after or while the card is being used at a merchant site or via online shopping environments. Generally speaking, it is a good idea to use a credit card versus a debit card online because it is a simpler process to get fraudulent purchases removed from a credit card than to replace money that was stolen from a checking account.

Additionally, it is always wise to not let anyone see the PIN associated with the debit card as this can lead to problems with a debit card as well. If someone does learn the PIN, the consumer must contact the bank to find out if it can be changed. Further stop gaps to falling victim to fraud involve reviewing the bank statement every month, and report any fraudulent charges as soon as possible.

A San Diego, California company has taken the subject of debit card fraud into their own hands by aiming to eliminate it altogether. IFAN Financial (OTC: IFAN) builds shareholder value by developing and testing technology that connects to your mobile device or computer, which enables the consumer to transfer funds without having to reveal their associated account numbers.

IFAN centers its time and resources on exploring market opportunities to build its product portfolio to meet the growing demands for consumer/merchant security, convenience and expediency within the mobile commerce market. The company’s products in development are expected to integrate social media dynamics, banking and e-commerce with the pervasiveness of today’s mobile culture.

This move caught the attention of industry analysts. In April, the company was included on Accesswire’s shortlist of the Top Mobile Payment Solutions Providers in 2015.

With the rapid expansion of the electronic payments market, Net Element has wasted no time in securing the financing needed to harbor future growth. Earlier this month, the company announced two deals which could provide up to $24.5 million in capital to drive continued gains in overall market share.

As the industry continues to post unparalleled growth statistics, the company’s outlook appears to be increasingly bright. A massive 87 percent of American adults either own or have access to a mobile phone, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve, with 71 percent using smartphones. These figures helped power the mobile ecommerce industry from $2.2 billion in revenue in 2010 to $42.8 billion in 2013, according to Custora.

Look for Net Element to continuing making its mark on the mobile payments industry, particularly through its TOT Group companies. Including Unified Payments, which was recognized by Inc. Magazine as the Fastest Growing Private Company in America in 2012, Net Element’s subsidiaries put the company in a strong strategic position to grow with the rapidly expanding market. Expect the company to leverage its recently acquired funding in order to continue expanding its service offerings in vital markets around the globe.

The online and mobile gaming sector is on the rise. The global market for all forms of mobile and online gaming is expected to grow by leaps and bounds in the next few years. This trend toward increased mobile gaming supports the need for a mobile platform to meet new and existing compliance regulations. Consorteum Holdings, an international transaction management and mobile publishing company, addresses the challenges facing compliance in the mobile gaming industry. This is one of the company’s primary areas of focus.

Last year, Consorteum subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine, Inc. (TFN), while collaborating with XpertX, Inc., completed the development work on a new mobile results app for live Keno, an online and casino game. The app is designed to deliver a high-tech mobile Keno solution to practically any mobile device, irrespective of operating system. Teaming up with XpertX was an exciting process for TFN which worked closely with XpertX, an industry leader and innovator in Keno gaming since 1987, to validate the mobile app’s capabilities.

The facility to deliver real-time gaming results to Keno players ought to be received well in every territory introduced to the application. With the app, a Keno player will, for the first time, be able to use his mobile phone to gain access to the results of Keno games played at numerous casinos across the United States. Customers are clearly calling for more mobile access, and giving them the power to view Keno results is simply the first step in being able to offer a pay-for-play version of the game within the limits allowed by each jurisdiction.

The game of Keno, by its nature, lends itself quite well to a mobile platform. This venture also offers enormous potential not only for Consorteum, TFN and XpertX, but also for gaming operators. With it, there will be greater opportunities for incremental revenue through the wide exposure of Keno to a new, younger audience that is firmly entrenched in mobile technology.

Consorteum Holdings, a Canadian company, is focused on marketing and licensing mobile software worldwide. Since its founding in 2011, the company has worked on building relationships and developing licensing agreements that will allow it to take center stage in the emerging mobile gaming market. It specializes in delivering mobile content, mobile payment solutions, and products through license agreements, on-deck partnerships, and joint venture revenue share arrangements.

Constant innovation is a leading watchword at Galenfeha, an established player in chemical injection automation and measurement for the oil and gas industry, as well as in advanced lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems for both large-scale oilfield applications and the commercial NEV (neighborhood electric vehicles like golf carts) market. The recent acquisition of highly accurate chemical injection pump maker Daylight Pump, which is known for their SCADA-based iWAV system, has paved the way for incorporating the company’s advanced battery technologies directly into their portfolio of injection platforms, which includes their DLP-P (pneumatic) and DLP-S (solar powered) systems. This move will not only help cement the company’s battery technology further, but also increase overall brand presence within the oil and gas industry, and ultimately help the company expand further into the production end of the sector.

Galenfeha is right where the action is too when it comes to the oil and gas industry, with corporate offices in Fort Worth, Texas, where, despite slumping oil prices that dropped to around $47/bbl in March before beginning their ongoing recovery (WTI is currently trading in the $58 range), the state actually surpassed 2014 production figures for January of this year, bringing in more than 74.7 million barrels, an increase of over 2.4% YOY. Oil output actually surged towards the end of last year as well, seemingly defying lower oil prices which were then around $53/bbl, with production up to the highest levels for December 2014 that have been seen in the state since the 1970’s – that’s Texas for you, everything is always bigger in the Lone Star State. The Company’s manufacturing facility is also in the heart of the industry, located in Shreveport, Louisiana, where the oil and gas industry is on track to surpass 2 million jobs this year according to economists at the Baton Rouge Business Report (BRBR), with another 32.6k jobs projected to be added next year. The oil and gas sector has been responsible for over $103 billion in CAPEX across a variety of industrial projects and BRBR projections indicate that over 2.7k jobs will be added in the Shreveport market alone through 2016.

There is rapid uptake of the company’s battery technology outside the oil and gas sector, where the environmental benefits of their cobalt-free, powerful, safe and yet long-lasting batteries, realized in a 40AH unit and a “powerhouse” 120AH 12V battery, have met with enthusiastic reception in the NEV market. But the response hasn’t really been surprising given the performance characteristics of the company’s battery technology, which has long since proven itself in the oilfield industry where extremely daunting requirements, like the ability to withstand vibration, high temperatures, and extended/continuous operation, have already validated the technology’s efficacy, as well as the company’s innovative designs.

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words and a recent tweet from the company, showing a graph of the performance of an NEV before and after having switched to one of the company’s LiFePO4 (LFP) units says a great deal about just why people are flocking to these powerful, safe, and robust batteries. Another major reason for Galenfeha’s rapid uptake within what is an approximately $524 million domestic NEV market, according to recent research published by IBISWorld, is the company’s cutting-edge battery management system (BMS) technology and their constant work to continue innovating in this area. Beyond the rock-solid benefits of LFP electrochemistry, which is inherently safer than typical lithium ion batteries using cobalt oxide cathodes, due to the thermal stability of the iron cathodes employed in LFP, Galenfeha’s proprietary BMS intelligently manages the health and safety of the unit.

The BMS monitors temperature, current, voltages and charge levels, while actively protecting the cells from overcharge or discharge during charging, resulting in a longer lifespan for the battery and better overall performance characteristics. Moreover, these batteries are 70% lighter than standard lead-acid batteries, meaning less strain on the NEV motor and increased performance, and yet exhibit greater power density (potential energy draw rate) over the life of the unit due to significantly slower capacity loss. LFP batteries also charge quickly, with a 90% charge efficiency rating that helps to reduce energy bills and these batteries can also be left dormant for extended periods of time without the fear of sulfation, as is often the case with lead-acid batteries, discharging at an incredible sub-10% per year when left idle.

These characteristics make the company’s LFP batteries an ideal choice for various NEV markets like seasonal golf courses, as well as corporate and college campuses, construction sites, or anywhere light NEVs are increasingly being used to get around, including places you might not think about at first, like mining sites. We are talking about a battery system that can use existing OEM charging systems here as well, despite the numerous advantages and intelligent, onboard proprietary BMS. And yet these beauties also provide extremely stable voltage and current delivery to the motor, sporting as much as a 40% increase in total usable voltage.

With Galenfeha planning to move into military vehicle and troop applications in the very near future, spurred on by the ambitious targets set forth by the Department of Defense to not only have 25% of their energy come from renewables by 2025, but also move increasingly towards more of their hardware being hybrid and electric, the company could see a huge revenue vector open up in the near future for their robust, intelligent battery tech. The USS Makin Island for instance, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, is the first Navy ship ever deployed using hybrid-electric propulsion and is expected to save some $250 million on fuel over the vessel’s lifecycle thanks to this key design adaptation. Galenfeha’s move to secure MIL-SPEC certification for their battery technology could be the start of something even bigger for the company than their fast-growing NEV expansion, definitely something for investors to keep an eye on moving forward.

Ubiquitech Software operates a unique business approach that enables the company to compete in a diverse line-up of growing markets. Utilizing this triple-pronged strategy, Ubiquitech says it can effectively start “a new and profitable Internet division within 30 to 90 days.”

At the head of this “trifecta” structure is parent company Blue Crush Marketing Group (BCMG), which uses its Blue Crush Monetization System™ to drive sales to the company’s multiple divisions via Internet campaigns, global email campaigns, targeted banners, and traditional advertising such as direct response television and radio.

Among varying divisions benefiting from BCMG’s advertising platforms is the company’s recently acquired HelpLife Today™ division, which focuses on hemp and hemp-related products believed to increase health, vitality and overall well-being. First-quarter 2015 revenues for HempLifeToday.com exceeded $625,000 before discounts, a “dramatic climb” over sales in the fourth quarter and first quarters of 2014. Ubiquitech attributes sales growth of its CannazALL™ (cannabidiol) CBD products to efforts of The Blue Crush Monetization System.

HempLifeToday currently offers two lines of CannazALL™ CBD Oil. The first line is made from domestically grown hemp from Colorado, a premium hemp strain approved by the Colorado State Agriculture Department. The second line is its European CBD, grown with non-GMO plants at specific latitudes in specially chosen locations of Northern Europe. The company says it is developing this product to serve a large segment of the consumer health industry as CBD oil becomes a popular supplement for health, general well- being and the strengthening of the immune system.

HempLifeToday recently announced that within 30 to 60 days its new CBD infused bottled water product, called AquazALL™, will be available on the HempLifeToday website with up to five flavors of Alaskan Glacier water infused with CBD oil. Upon launch, AquazALL will provide the company with access to the U.S. bottled water market, which is expected to increase 6% to $13 billion this year.

Ubiquitech also has several other concepts/division in development, including FusionFundraiser, a mobile app that supports traditional fundraising campaigns; MyCashBuilder.com™ to take advantage of cost per action (CPA) advertising; InternationalFortune.com, a lead generation portal for global companies in the asset management field; and several others.
