The world is becoming increasingly dependent on technological conveniences and advances, particularly when it comes to commerce. In recent months, technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Samsung (OTC: SSNLF) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG; GOOGL) have demonstrated this evolving landscape with innovative forays into the mobile payments space. According to a study by Accenture, roughly 41 percent of consumers reported using their phones to pay at a merchant location in 2014, up from just 17 percent in 2012. This growth is likely just the beginning. Mobile-based payments in the United States are expected to reach $142 billion in annual volume by 2019, according to the New York Times. For merchants, this shifting consumer preference makes updating legacy point of sale systems a major focus in the coming years.

Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: ALYI) delivers technology products to financial organizations requiring solutions that can manage a wide range of payment channels. By partnering with leading manufacturers, the company seeks to offer innovative solutions that extend the capabilities of payment processing systems across a full range of capture devices – including point of sale, mobile phones, tablets, PCs and web-based applications.

One way in which Alternet is attempting to disrupt the payment technology industry is by offering an innovative, brand agnostic point of sale terminal to the U.S. market, which includes the largest collection of outdated legacy point of sale infrastructure in the world. Through a strategic partnership with the Brazilian leader in multichannel technology solutions for the electronic point of sale industry, the company is addressing an expansive target market that includes over 20 million merchants across the country.

In 2013, the global point of sale market was valued at $36.86 billion, and it is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 11.6 percent from 2014 to 2020. As adoption of wireless and mobile point of sale solutions continues to increase, Alternet is in a favorable strategic position to capitalize on this market performance while promoting sustainable growth.

When Doc Brown invented the time machine in the movie ‘Back to the Future’, the most important piece to accomplish time travel was the flux capacitor. The biggest problem with time travel was, of course, the resources available at the point in time where you found yourself. The flux capacitor could convert any raw material into a reliable, sustainable, efficient source of energy needed to power the time machine.

This fun analogy to the popular 80’s science fiction movie relates to Georgia-based energy solutions company Dominovas Energy Corp. (DNRG), dedicated to delivering electricity on a multi-megawatt scale to areas of the world that lack this critical commodity. The biggest hurdle associated with deployment of a sustainable energy source to a frontier market is that fuel sources and availability vary, depending upon a wide range of factors.

The company’s RUBICON™ SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) technology is fuel-flexible, specific to the variability and number of fuels that can be incorporated into its operation. The integration of the proprietary reformer with the RUBICON™ SOFC stack is engineered in such a way that the RUBICON™ will reform almost any hydrocarbon fuel to a suitable syngas composition (a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, etc.) for optimal SOFC stack electricity generation. In laymen’s terms, this means that whatever you put into the company’s ‘flux capacitor’ will transport your country from the days of the Wild Wild West into the 21st century.

Importantly, the company’s energy solution is also ‘green’. Success in the global energy business is increasingly based upon the ability to produce energy efficiently while being kind to the environment. As a ‘non-combustion’ electricity producer, the RUBICON™ emits markedly less green-house-gas pollutants per unit of power produced. Generating mostly heat and water as byproducts, the RUBICON™ is a sustainable solution to the energy-mix. In summation, the future of energy is the focus for Dominovas Energy.

Bruce Perlowin, chief executive officer of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), was recently featured in an interview on Up Close with Chris Tinney, a weekly podcast that introduces listeners to people making a difference in their communities and around the world. Perlowin, once dubbed the ‘King of Pot’ by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is now referred to as the ‘Godfather of Pot Stocks’ after founding the first publicly-traded company in the medical marijuana space, Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA). Today, he serves as the CEO of the first publicly-traded company seeking to capitalize on the nation’s ongoing industrial hemp revolution, Hemp, Inc.

In recent months, measures to reinvigorate the production of industrial hemp across the nation have been gaining steam. In 2014, President Obama signed a bill that removed hemp grown for research purposes from the Controlled Substances Act, and more than a dozen states now allow industrial hemp farming for research and/or commercial purposes. During the show, Perlowin detailed his vision for the future of the hemp industry.

“Medical marijuana, recreational marijuana and, certainly, industrial hemp have won,” Perlowin stated in the interview. “We will be legal in all 50 states. Trying to stop this movement is trying to sweep back the incoming tide with a broom – it’s not going to happen.”

Perlowin went on to give prospective shareholders insight into Hemp, Inc.’s progress toward the impending launch of its decortication facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina. He also highlighted the performance of the company’s cosmeceutical and nutraceutical product lines, as well as Hemp, Inc.’s enthusiastic efforts to educate the market through the production of The Hemp Nation magazine.

“Part of what we do as a public company in our position is not just make a profit; we believe in giving back and helping social causes,” Perlowin continued. “We have this massive educational campaign as part of a core element of our company, and The Hemp Nation magazine takes care of that.”

The Up Close with Chris Tinney Interview comes at an exciting time for followers of Hemp, Inc. Last week, the company reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2015, which included a 53.8 percent year-over-year increase in sales stemming from its hemp-based product line. As it continues to shift focus toward more advanced processing at its expansive decortication facility, Perlowin and the company’s management team are optimistic about Hemp, Inc.’s ability to capitalize on the rapid growth of the industrial hemp market in the years to come.

Physical asset tracking has never been easier than it is today, with companies like GTX Corp seamlessly bringing together all of the technologies needed to render real-time situational awareness of a vast array of field devices, directly to the end user via any networked intelligent device, from a smartphone to a PC. Whether the asset in question is personal property like a UAV, a loved one such as a child, or an elder suffering from some form of dementia like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, the ability to find a lost asset using an elegantly meshed architecture of small GPS/BLE (Bluetooth low energy) wearable systems and software changes everything. More importantly, it becomes quite easy to ensure such assets are never lost in the first place, thanks to always-on and assisted two-way tracking capability that is available at the touch of a button via GTX’s Smart Locator app, and enhanced by automatic alerts routed from the company’s IoT (Internet of Things) tracking platform. GTX Corp also owns and runs an app development firm, LOCiMOBIL, as well as Code Amber Alertag, a secure digital personal identification tag platform that helps first responders by providing rapid access to critical personal/medical information.

The immediacy of the company’s real-time IoT-driven platform, accessible from iOS and Android apps, or from any tablet, PC or laptop, has thrust open the door for what has quickly become GTXO’s flagship product, the GPS SmartSole™. An ingenious tracking system that completely eliminates the stigma attached to other wearable trackers like bracelets, the award-winning GPS SmartSole looks much like any other commercially available insole for shoes you might find, but has a robust embedded GPS tracking system and long-life rechargeable battery that can go for two or three days without needing to be recharged. The overall product execution here is easy to use, powerful, discreet, and does not have to be remembered to be taken along. These unique characteristics make the SmartSole an ideal solution for people who wander, such as people with autism spectrum disorder, or elderly people with dementia, as such individuals almost never take off or forget their shoes.

According to Alzheimer’s Disease International’s World Alzheimer’s Report 2015, every three seconds someone on earth develops dementia and over 9.4 million people in the U.S. alone currently live with dementia. A number which will likely more than double by 2050, mirroring a similar global trend that will come to represent $1 trillion in healthcare and associated costs to the global economy by as early as 2018. Chief among the recommendations included in the report are finding ways to address the 68 percent or more of dementia sufferers who live (or will live) in low and middle income countries, finding ways to reduce risk from dangers such as wandering, and implementing national plans in all countries that are designed to support people living with dementia, and their caregivers. This is a clearly developing market for which the SmartSole is ideally suited. Alzheimer’s Disease International made it clear that tackling the stigma surrounding dementia and actively working to ameliorate people’s preconceived notions about dementia sufferers was of utmost importance, and SmartSole’s existence in the retail marketplace is one big step towards achieving that directive.

CDC estimates from last year were that 1 in 68 children in the U.S. were identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), around 30 percent higher than projected back in 2012. This is another massive, and sadly, growing market that is directly addressable by the company’s tracking solutions, and the SmartSole shines as the most appropriate option. According to the Autism Wandering Awareness Alerts Response and Education (AWAARE) Collaboration, a working group comprised of six national autism non-profits for the purpose of helping to prevent autism-related wandering incidents and deaths, almost half of all children with autism engage in wandering behavior which is similar to the behavior seen in seniors with dementia and/or Alzheimer’s. And while official data indicates that there is indeed already a sizeable global market for wandering assistance devices, software and services such as those provided by GTXO, the problem of wandering in general which is addressable by IoT-driven location technologies is likely far larger than has been accurately quantified thus far.

Any way you slice it, GPS tracking insoles for shoes are one of the most compelling wearable technologies in existence today and GTXO has an extremely strong IP position with over 80 patents to back it all up. Patents that are collectively worth nearly three times the company’s current market value. GTX Corp’s extant IP portfolio is also clear evidence of the company’s comprehensive IP strategy and investors should take note of the numerous patents pending, registered trademarks, copyrights, and URLs that GTXO has under its belt.

Whereas big names like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), with its Apple Watch, or Alphabet, (NASDAQ: GOOG; GOOGL) with its Android Wear, have failed to really captivate consumers, GTXO’s SmartSole-driven PLS (Personal Location Services) platform has quickly rooted itself in the minds of its core demographics. Reception to the product so far has been outstanding, with the initial production run selling out on zero advertising or preorders. At a sticker price of only $300 a pair and basic online tracking starting at just $25 a month, alarming statistics about the mortality rate among those living with dementia who wander don’t seem quite so insurmountable and terrifying. Statistics like 60 percent of those living with dementia becoming lost at least once in their lives and half of those who become lost subsequently perishing within the first 24 hours.

GTXO’s IoT PLS leverages packet oriented mobile data service on the 2G/3G global system for mobile communications in order to drive continuous, real-time coordinates to the user via Google Maps. This same easy to use tracking architecture, centered on a licensable global IoT M2M (machine to machine) monitoring portal, is also employed in GTXO’s cutting-edge workforce situational awareness solution, the Track My Workforce app, and its miniaturized standalone tracking devices. Devices like GTXO’s tiny little Prime AT Lite, which is perfect for tracking assets like vehicles or containers. Or the take-along GTX VL2000 model, another extremely lightweight quad-band device that is also about the size of a D battery, and which comes with an inductive charging option, programmable voice call capability, and an SOS button. Subscribers are provided access to the GTX Corp Tracking Portal, where an unlimited number of devices can be organized, located and followed in real-time using any internet connected device, or the smartphone app.

Continuous interval tracking that shows things like direction and route makes generating various types of reports on mileage and location very simple, delivering even more finely tuned situational awareness. The geo-fencing and SMS or e-mail alert capabilities GTXO’s platform offers users a no-hassle asset localization methodology so easy that anyone can do it. This ease of use factor is a commercial goldmine given the size of the potential market from wandering assistance alone, but there are certainly other markets. The media has not failed to notice this either, with GTX Corp and the SmartSole receiving a great deal of attention. From being featured at the 2015 CES in the Internet of Things webcast and receiving coverage from a host of mainstream news sources like the BBC, NBC, NPR, and Fox News, to winning numerous industry awards. The SmartSole even placed second in Wearables, Health, Fitness and Wellness at this year’s 2015 CTIA E-Tech Awards, beating out Samsung’s (OTC: SSNLF) Gear S, and coming in just behind the winner, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) Microsoft Band. Let’s face it though, the wearable market is saturated with souped-up watches. However, GTXO’s SmartSole is effectively in a class all its own and has the IP muscle to really shake things up.

Notable midcap/microcap equity research and corporate access firm, SeeThruEquity, even recently announced initiating coverage on GTX Corp with price target of $0.09 a share (November 6 close, $0.011) and underscored the commercial potential of the company’s flagship product as a best-in-class solution for the wandering and ancillary markets. Los Angeles-headquartered GTX Corp is a proud member of the United Nations Global Compact and has an extensive distributor and reseller network serving customers in over 20 countries, as well as a substantial distribution and fulfillment center in Ireland/UK. This overall distribution footprint has grown mightily in recent months as well, with the company seeing numerous key deals across Europe, as GTXO ramps towards serious commercial success in Q3 and on this year. The company is going strong on a full head of steam from initial commercial success with the launch of the SmartSole at the start of the year and its distribution footprint’s growth is a very clear sign of the company’s forward trajectory.

Major provider of GPS tracking systems to the healthcare sector in Denmark and Norway, Safecall Denmark, signed on for distributor status in October alongside German geo location and tracking services provider, Way4Net. One of the leaders in Sweden and other Nordic countries of mobile safety alarms for the elderly, Posifon AB, also signed on as a reseller/distributor in September. Furthermore, the company’s agreement signed in early October with Telefonica Germany, to leverage Telefonica’s global Smart M2M platform and network of strategic relationships throughout Europe, was a sweeping victory for GTXO. This single move gave the company’s entire tracking platform global deployment capability via a single SIM card and provisioning backend. Using Telefonica’s API, GTXO will be able to seamlessly integrate its platform’s backend architecture with Smart M2M, saving a bundle on M2M development, as well as IT infrastructure costs.

Q2 financials posted in August look solid too, with revenue nearly tripling from the same quarter last year and subscribers to the company’s PLS platform up 72 percent from Q1, even as subscriber revenue grew 136 percent quarter over quarter. Also among Q2 highlights was word of a next-gen SmartSole that is already in the works and a continued effort to broaden the core market for the product, including growth markets like security, with ongoing pilot programs underway at with local Sheriffs and PDs. The new (2G/3G/LTE compatible) SmartSole is being upgraded for even longer battery life, a smaller form factor, and the new version will even have motion sensor capability, in addition to costing around $240 a unit, or 20 percent less than the current model. The security space is a very interesting play for GTXO and the SmartSole has a golden opportunity to find fast adoption as a surreptitious tracking solution for high-risk kidnapping targets and the like.

The versatility of the asset tracking platform GTXO has put together, combined with the company’s IP-centric nature – as evinced by the ‘286’ patent issued last year which effects any tracking device, from embedded units to hand held wireless GPS trackers – should give investors an idea of how aggressive GTX Corp is in the sector.

“Boxed Water is Better.”

It’s a simple sentence that represents a powerful message about the environmental impact of the bottled water industry. Landfills across the United States are overflowing with more than two million tons of discarded water bottles, and this plastic packaging will take more than 1,000 years to biodegrade, according to the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Despite the environmental concerns, the national bottled water industry is thriving. According to a study by Statistic Brain Research Institute, annual spending on bottled water in the U.S. was estimated at $11.8 billion in 2014. That’s roughly 167 plastic bottles per person each year!

While major beverage companies such as PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Nestle (OTC: NSRGY) continue to capitalize on the performance of the bottled water market, a company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is on a mission to minimize the impact of portable water solutions with a tried and tested packaging formula that’s just simple enough to work. Boxed Water Is Better LLC publicly launched Boxed Water in March 2009. Boxed Water is packaged in a 100 percent recyclable carton that has less than half of the carbon footprint of a PET bottle. To date, the company has secured placement in a variety of popular shopping destinations – including Costco (NASDAQ: COST), Whole Foods Markets (NASDAQ: WFM) and Kroger (NYSE: KR).

While Boxed Water Is Better LLC continues to make progress toward cracking the bottled water industry in the U.S., a similarly sized opportunity is available in Canada. The Canadian distribution rights for Boxed Water are held by RM Fresh Brands, which was acquired by Legacy Ventures International, Inc. (OTC: LGYV) in October.

According to a report by the Canadian Department of Agriculture, annual per capita consumption of bottled water increased by more than 107 percent from 1999 to 2009, accounting for roughly 10.6 percent of all non-alcoholic beverage sales in 2009. In the months to come, Legacy will look to capitalize on this market performance by offering an ecofriendly alternative. Currently, Legacy is focused on increasing brand awareness across Canada through the use of viral, event-driven marketing campaigns. Recent partnerships with major events such as the Toronto Film Festival and Holt Renfrew’s Holiday Kick Off have illustrated the massive potential of this strategy.

As the Boxed Water brand continues to gain steam in both domestic and international markets, Legacy is in a favorable position to realize sustainable financial growth. For prospective shareholders, ongoing efforts to disrupt the Canadian bottled water industry with a more environmentally conscious alternative make Legacy an intriguing investment opportunity moving forward.

Lingo Media is teaching the world to speak English and making investors sing happily in the process. The Company has announced an astounding 441% increase in revenue, over the same period last year, for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Revenue was $1,203,201 for the third quarter compared to $222,468 for the same period in 2014. Operating expenses, however, only rose by 69%, from $272,871 in 3Q 2014 to $462,455 in 3Q 2015.

Net profit for the quarter was $694,300 as compared to a net loss of $(179,146) for the same period in 2014. And total comprehensive income for the quarter was $631,730 or $0.023 earnings per share based on 27.4 million shares. For 3Q 2014, there was a total comprehensive loss of $(255,659) or $(0.012) loss per share based on 21.9 million shares. Income before amortization, share-based payments, depreciation, finance charges and taxes was $740,746 compared to the loss of $(50,403) in 2014.

“Q3-15 is the fourth consecutive profitable quarter for the Company representing revenue growth of 441% and a significant increase in profitability year-over-year for the quarter,” stated Michael Kraft, President & CEO of Lingo Media. “It is noteworthy that the revenue and profit in this quarter was almost entirely derived from the rapidly growing digital-learning software division.
