Cheryl Shuman, MarijuanaStocks.com, & Wolf of Weed Street Announce Official Launch of the ‘WolfShot’ Hemp Energy Shot

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2015 / The newly formed team of Cheryl Shuman, MarijuanaStocks.com, and Wolf of Weed Street (the Team) are excited to announce the official launch of their first branded product, the ‘WolfShot.’ The Team has partnered with FBEC Worldwide Inc. (OTCPINK: FBEC) to bring to market this hemp based energy shot that not only tastes great but also has all the added benefits of hemp packed into an easy to carry 2 ounce bottle. The WolfShot’s proprietary blend boasts FDA approved and CFR-21 tested ingredients that no other energy drink on the market currently has. Consumers can inquire about free samples on www.wolfenergyshot.com, www.wolfofweedstreet.com, www.marijuanastocks.com, and www.fbecworldwideinc.com.

WolfShot holds a proprietary blend of herbal ingredients including hemp infused natural fruit extracts, probiotics, amino acids and caffeine. Typical energy drinks and caffeinated beverages can trigger spikes in blood sugar, stress levels and can even result in weight gain due to the metabolism of fat cells after consumption of traditional caffeine. FBEC Worldwide has agreements in place for exclusive use of the FDA approved new caffeine that would not only offer a healthier alternative but would make FBEC the only company allowed to make such claims with regard to the health impact of WolfShot. The exclusive formula that the company holds will also be protected from reverse engineering or being duplicated in any form.

Jason Spatafora (Wolf of Weed Street) stated, “I am excited to put my name and brand behind a product with such potential and one that I truly believe in. There is a huge market opportunity for hemp infused drinks in general and the energy shot market has proven to be extremely profitable, just ask 5 Hour Energy.”

Cheryl Shuman will be spearheading the PR efforts for the WolfShot and said, “Product placement and branding is one of my specialties. I have secured placements for products in FX’s Wilfred, CBS News, The New Ricki Lake Show, and much more. I am looking forward to getting behind a product with such an effective and unique formula.”

The Team will begin tapping into their vast networks utilizing and developing relationships to increase retail distribution and media exposure for the WolfShot. The Team anticipates the WolfShot to be revenue producing by August 2015.

Health Benefits of Hemp

-Hemp seeds are an incredible source of easily digested protein. They are vegan-friendly, and are the perfect alternative to those who are allergic to or dislike soy-based products. Hemp seeds also contain all 8 of the essential amino acids.

-Hemp seeds offer a great dose of healthy fats in an ideal ratio; 3:1 omega-6 to omega-3s. Hemp seeds also pack the Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) variety of omega-6 fats, which helps to build anti-inflammatory hormones up. These GLA fats can be exceptionally beneficial for those with diabetes, metabolism issues, infections, or stress.

-Hemp seeds have an abundance of disease and aging fighting phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E.

-Hemp seeds also provide consumers with useful minerals, such as iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium.

Merchant Services’ Compares Square Reader, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Costco Credit Card Processing Fees and Terminal Cost

Merchant Services’ Compares Square Reader, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Costco Credit Card Processing Fees and Terminal Cost. A new merchant should never lease a terminal from these companies and pay four times the cost of the terminal. You should never enter into a 3 year contract. See below for Merchant Resources free chip reader with no contract.

“You will be surprised at high rates and fees you pay with Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Square reader and Costco for their credit card processing merchant accounts. Besides paying for the terminal, the discount rates are extremely high.
You would think that their rates would be lower, considering the size of these institutions.”

DALLAS, TX – Merchant Resources, www.credit-card-processing.com, compares its credit card merchant services to those of Costco Merchant Services, Square Reader, Wells Fargo Merchant Services, and Bank of America Merchant Services.

Merchant Resources called the 1-800 listed on each of the above credit card merchant services and discovered a variety of differences outlined below:


Costco

• Base Retail Visa/MC rate @ 1.38% and 19 cents
• Rewards Cards Visa/MC rate @ 1.99% and 19 cents
• Business Cards Visa/MC rate @ 2.65% and 29 cents
• Foreign and Government Cards Visa/MC 3.55% and 29 cents
• Terminal lease $30 a month for 2 years or $489 terminal purchase
• Need to be an executive Costco member, so you need to pay $110 a year
• No contract

Costco, the so called low price leader, was not so low price. You need to be an executive member and still pay $489 for the proprietory terminal. There rates are not that impressive.


Square Reader Swiper

• Base Retail Visa/MC rate of 2.75%
• Key Entered Rate of 3.5%

The square reader is a good solution for merchants that are seasonal, since “SquareUp” does not have any monthly fees. Merchants consistently over $10 per sale in Visa/MasterCard volume per month, have better options at www.credit-card-processing.com


Wells Fargo

• Base Retail Visa/MC rate @ 2.2% and 25 cents
• Mid qualified rate @ 3.1% and 25 cents
• The salesperson did not disclose the non-qualified rate
• Lease of terminal for $35 for 48 months or purchase terminal for $699 (FD130 terminal)
• $75 yearly fee
• $95 Setup fee
• No contract “until” filing-out personal information using a social security number, etc.

Merchant Services found that Wells Fargo credit card processing was high in fees, equipment cost and processing rates. Each time we called we were quoted different rates.


Bank of America

• 1.69% Base Retail Visa/MC rate
• 3.19% Mid-qualified rate
• Over 4.35% Non-qualified rate
• Terminal cost on a lease of $28.95 per month or purchase for $599
• No contract “until” filing-out personal information using social security number, etc.

Merchant Services found that Bank of America was transparent regarding their high discount rates.


Merchant Resources offers the following:

• 1.25% for debit/credit card with no pin
• 1.65% for base Visa and MasterCard, Discover
• No Monthly Fees
• FREE Terminal, cellular phone Swiper or POS for restaurant

If a business has a low average ticket, Merchant Resources can provide a transaction fee of 5 cents.

St. Barts Wedding Professionals Announces Launch of a Brand-New Website

GUSTAVIA, SAINT-BARTHÉLEMY / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2015 / June is the most popular wedding month in the U.S. (http://www.soundvision.com/article/wedding-statistics-in-the-united-states), closely followed by August, May, and July. Brides-to-be are enamored with the idea of celebrating their special day with family and friends in the sunny outdoors, under blue skies, in a beautiful park or – even better – at a pristine white beach. With the Caribbean at the footstep of the United States, it is no surprise that an increasing number of Americans jump on a plane down South to take their vows on one of the gorgeous islands. On top of this recent trend is Saint-Barthélemy, better known as St. Barts, a dreamy, less than ten square miles big tropical island.

Year-round average temperatures of 78 degrees take the weather insecurity out of the wedding planning, but at the same time it can be tough to set everything up when the location for the big day is on an island, thousands of miles away from a couples’ hometown. Recognizing the need for a tool to organize a wedding remotely, St. Barts Wedding Professionals launched a website that contains extensive and reliable information about local wedding professionals that will ensure a truly perfect day.

StBartsWeddingProfessionals.com lists tried-and-trusted service providers, from experienced photographers and videographers, who document the whole ceremony for the future, to floral designers and creative light professionals or specialized bakeries that create the most delectable and intricate wedding cakes. Brides and grooms who want to just sit back, relax, and leave the organization to somebody else can contact a local wedding planner through the website who will take care of the nitty-gritty for them, from creating invitations to sending out Thank You notes.

St. Barts is a former French colony that has long been a secret tip for wealthy travelers from Europe. Only a four-hour flight away from U.S. mainland, it invites visitors with pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, a postcard-like harbor, spectacular reefs, and delicious cafés and restaurants. St. Barts Wedding Professionals is a recent start-up that builds on the high-class services of existing businesses that specialize in event services and brings everything together, offering a one-stop shop for couples looking to tie the knot in paradise. “We are like Google for engaged people,” the company founder laughs. “But unlike Google, we are a little more selective. Our team is constantly updating our website to ensure that only the best and most relevant businesses are listed on there to completely take out the stress of planning a wedding.” To take a look at it yourself, visit http://stbartsweddingprofessionals.com.

SeeThruEquity Initiates Coverage on M Pharmaceutical, Inc. with a Price Target of US$0.65

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2015 / SeeThruEquity, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on smallcap and microcap public companies, today announced it has initiated coverage of M Pharmaceutical, Inc. (CSX: MQ; OTCQB:MPHMF) with a price target of US$0.65/CAD$0.79.

The report is available here: MQ Initiation Report. SeeThruEquity is an approved equity research contributor on Thomson First Call, Capital IQ, FactSet, and Zack’s. The report will be available on these platforms. We also contribute our estimates to Thomson Estimates, the leading estimates platform on Wall Street.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, M Pharma is a development stage biomedical company focused on developing solutions to improve the health and quality of life people suffering from obesity and diabetes. The company has exclusive rights to an innovative family of biomedical technologies including: 1) Trimeo weight loss capsules; 2) the Trimtec gastric management system, a intended to deliver a “realistic, patient centered” approach with reduced invasiveness; and 3) eMosquito, a wearable blood monitor that utilizes novel micro-electromechanical technology for automatic and autonomous monitoring of blood glucose levels. We see M Pharma as potentially being a hidden gem in the biotechnology sector. The company is a newly public entity with strong leadership and a novel portfolio of biomedical technologies targeting the large and growing global markets of morbid obesity and diabetes.

“The company has recently completed several key strategic actions in its corporate structure, including the appointment of industry pioneer Dr. Martin Mintchev as CEO, , three strategic acquisitions to fuel growth and development, and several impressive additions to its Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board,” stated Ajay Tandon, CEO of SeeThruEquity. “We are initiating coverage with a 12-month price target of US$0.65 per share.”

Additional highlights from the report are as follows:

Large market opportunity targeting obesity and diabetes

We see tremendous potential for M Pharma if it can successfully develop and achieve clearance for its promising family of biomedical technologies. The company is targeting the large and growing multi-billion dollar markets of obesity and diabetes. Indeed, global weight management market is expected to rise from $148.1Bn in 2014 to $206.4Bn in 2019E, representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.9%. Similarly, Frost & Sullivan has estimated the global market for blood glucose products to be $8.67Bn per year.

New public company building momentum in healthcare

After becoming a public company through a merger transaction with First Sahara Energy, Inc. in February 2015, M Pharma has wasted little time building product momentum and articulating a compelling approach for managing obesity and diabetes. The company recently completed several key strategic actions in its corporate structure, including the completion of a 10:1 share consolidation to bring shares outstanding more in line with peers and finalizing three strategic acquisitions to fuel growth and development. Currently, M Pharma shares trade on the CSX, and we were pleased to see that the company announced on June 15, 2015, that it was granted approval to trade on the OTCQB under the ticker MPHMF. We see this as a nice development that will expand the company’s potential institutional shareholder base.

Impressive leadership team taking place

Given that M Pharma is a development stage enterprise targeting a large potential market, we view its management team as core to any investment thesis. We were pleased to see that M Pharma announced that medical technology pioneer Dr. Martin Mintchev accepted the position as President and CEO on April 15, 2015. Dr. Mintchev brings a wealth of industry expertise and leadership experience to the company, as well as a deep understanding of M Pharma’s innovative family of biomedical technologies. Indeed, Mintchev was the primary developer of the medical technologies held by M Pharma. We were also impressed to see the addition of Douglas Janzen to M Pharma’s Scientific Advisory Board. Janzen is co-founder and managing partner of Northview Ventures and has completed over $1bn in equity financing and over $1bn in licensing deals in the biotechnology sector. He is also CEO of Aequus Pharmaceuticals (TSXV: AQS) and a director of Neovasc Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCN).

Initiate coverage with a price target of US $0.65/CAD$0.79

Our analysis indicates a fair value estimate of CAD $0.79 (USD $0.65) per share, implying an upside of 315.8% from the recent price of $0.19. We view M Pharma as an intriguing high risk / high reward investment targeting a large and growing segment of the healthcare industry.

Please review important disclosures on our website at www.seethruequity.com.

About M Pharmaceutical, Inc.

M Pharmaceutical Inc. is committed to developing and commercializing innovative biomedical technologies that improve the health and quality of life of people affected by obesity and diabetes. The Company currently has or has agreed to acquire the exclusive rights to a family of biomedical technologies including (i) the eMosquito, for automatic and autonomous monitoring of blood glucose by diabetics; (ii) temporary controllable pseudobezoars, an innovative method for non-invasive dynamic gastric volume reduction for weight loss that has been recently tested in blind, placebo-controlled human studies; and (iii) gastrointestinal neurostimulators, using a laparoscopically-implantable technique for the treatment of obesity without permanent anatomical modification of the stomach. Commercial development of eMosquito, Trimeo and Trimtec biomedical technologies will require successful coordination and execution of a wide variety of technology disciplines.

3 Small-Cap Biotech Stocks That Are Challenging the Status Quo

WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2015 / Small-cap biotech stocks have been
top performers so far this year, with the PowerShares S&P SmallCap
Healthcare ETF (NASDAQ: PSCH) returning 25%, which is 5x better than the SPDR
S&P 500 ETF’s (NYSE: SPY) 5% return. Investors may want to consider adding
exposure to this asset class given its outperformance and lower correlation
with the overall U.S. equity market.

In this article, we’ll take a look
at three micro-cap and small-cap companies that are taking a different approach
to the status quo within multi-billion dollar industries.

eBalance Technology

Diabetes, a disorder of blood sugar
metabolism, is a prevalent and serious disease of major public health importance. Currently
there are approximately 387 million people in the world living with
diabetes with an expected increase to nearly 600 million by 2035. Diabetes has major adverse effects on people’s
health, but also presents a large economic burden. Global healthcare expenditures on diabetes
currently exceeds $420B. Experts agree
that a significant portion of the morbidity, mortality and cost of diabetes
could be avoided with improved control of blood sugars.

Cell MedX Corp. (OTC: CMXC) has
discovered a potentially valuable new, proprietary technology for the treatment
of diabetes – one that encompasses electrical micro-currents delivered in
distinctive patterns of waveform, amplitude, frequency, and duration leading to
alterations in metabolic pathways which may result in improved blood sugar
control. The treatment is believed to be of exceptionally low risk, and can be
self administered at home. It is a
uniquely new category of treatment.

In a pilot clinical discovery phase
trial in two diabetic subjects, the company
found
that its e-Balance technology increased sensitivity to insulin and
up-regulated glycolytic processes, with subjects demonstrating enhanced glucose
utilization.

Further explorations of these
pathways will continue, along with endpoints like HbA1C, in an expanded
clinical trial that is currently recruiting subjects in Newport Beach, CA.

Investors in Cell MedX can look
forward to multiple potential catalysts in the near future including a series
of clinical trials, expanded basic research, intellectual property pursuits,
exploration of new form factors with innovative industrial designs, and growth
and expansion of the enterprise as their technology is productized and readied
for introduction into a global market.

BACcel Platform

Drug resistant organisms and
hospital-acquired infections have become an enormous global problem, especially
given the lack of new antibiotics capable of fighting these serious infections.
According to the CDC, one in five hospital patients has at lest one
healthcare-associated infection. Accelerated Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ: AXDX)
aims to rapidly identify these pathogens for treatment.

While traditional testing to
determine a pathogen’s susceptibility to a certain antibiotic may take upwards
of 50 hours, which is often too late to help patients, the company’s BACcel
platform is capable of performing the analysis in just three steps taking less
than five hours to complete. These tests have 98% sensitivity (identification
of target) and 97% specificity (identification of non-target).

The company plans on launching its
Accelerate ID/AST System in the U.S. in early 2016, after having initiated its
BSI trial and secured a CE Mark in mid-2015. Over the long-term, the company
could capture a significant piece of the $7.5 billion (estimated 2019) market
with peak gross margins of over 70% – an attractive proposition for investors
in the biotechnology space.

Cell-in-a-Box(R) Technology

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms
of cancer, with less than half of patients surviving more than a year. In
addition to the diseases rapid progression, many patients experience unbearable
and, unfortunately, untreatable pain from malignant fluid (known as ascites) in
the abdominal cavity. PharmaCyte Biotech
Inc. (OTC: PMCB) is attempting to combat both the cancer and its side effects.

Rather than injecting patients with
high doses of toxic chemotherapy drugs, the company’s approach is to place its
Cell-in-a-Box(R) ifosamide-activating capsules in close proximity to the tumor
and then intravenously inject low doses of ifosamide – a cancer-killing drug – to attack the tumor. Unlike other approaches, there’s no immune response or
damage to tissue near where the capsules are placed.

The company has demonstrated the
effectiveness of the low dosage (as opposed to regular dosages that harms the
body) in two early clinical trials and is preparing to conduct a more advanced
Phase 2b clinical trial in the near future. Early evidence also suggests that the treatment may be effective in
delaying the accumulation of ascites fluid in mice bearing an aggressive form
of ovarian cancer.

Key Takeaway Points

Small-cap biotech stocks have been
top performers so far this year and they don’t seem to be ready to stop anytime
soon. Investors looking for exposure to the industry may want to consider
small-cap opportunities in the space, such as the three companies discussed in
this article, which are targeting multi-billion dollar industries with platform
technologies.

Strawberries are a high profit crop. A new generation of machines has just been born. Strawberry Harvesters with the world’s most advanced technology to give maximum performance to a farm. Harvesting robots can optimize the productivity of the farming business. Growers can get the best results in a berry farm using automated process. Automated picking collection systems improve labor productivity, give speed and agility to harvest operations.
The robotic platforms are capable of site-specific spraying. This is targeted spraying only on foliage and selected targets. It can be used for selective harvesting of fruit. The robots detect the fruit, sense its ripeness, then move to grasp and softly detach only ripe fruit.

Agricultural robots address automation of process for agribusiness. The challenge being addressed is to guide farmers towards a new economic model. The aim is to meet demands of a global market. Harvesting is one benefit. Crop-yield increases come from weed control. Robot technology is deploying its machines for weed control, promising to improve crop yields.
