$AXLX ~ February 20, 2013 News!

$AXLX ~ Services with revenues exceeding $6m per year

http://www.axiologix.net/files/News_13-0_63852.pdf

February 20, 2013 — Axiologix Inc. (www.axiologix.net), (AXLX) an International Technology and Services Organization focused on delivering ‘Cloud’ Products and Services today announces that it has completed a Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of a leading California based provider of IP voice, data and managed services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across the United States. Details of the transaction are not being disclosed until completion of the necessary due diligence, which has commenced, and signing of definitive agreements. Subject to successful completion of the above and Axiologix closing the necessary funding, the transaction is expected to close within the next 120 days.

Completion of the acquisition would bring immediate additional annual revenues in excess of $5 million to the group and is EBITDA positive. When consolidated with other pending acquisitions in the VoIP market, the combined operating costs can be reduced due to shared common services and network cost reductions, therefore generating more positive income from the existing revenue streams when combined.

Dennis Mitrano, President of Telecom Operations at Axiologix, commented, "We are pleased to announce the advancement of our stated core growth strategy. This announcement stems from a number of ongoing discussions with similar providers and marks a significant milestone in the execution of our business plan. It is a great, accretive acquisition to our existing profitable business. We are delighted with the deal and with the company and look forward to bringing this exciting company into our expanding group. The management team has achieved the hardest part in growing any business, acquiring loyal customers, some of which are household names, and achieving profitable operations. They are also growing at 20% per year and I am personally looking forward to working with them as we build a nationwide operation together."

Vincent Browne, Chairman and Chief Executive of Axiologix, said, "We look forward to finalizing this significant transaction as soon as possible and delivering on our goal of growing through acquisition of leading companies with excellent management and proven execution in this high growth market. One of the most exciting things to come from our strategy is the ability to add additional value added services, that each company has, and upsell these to the loyal customers of the other companies. This significantly reduces our new customer acquisition costs making the group more competitive overall going forward.”

/^\$PMCM/^\ The large conglomerate content providers (Comcast/Universal, Time/Warner, Viacom/Paramount, ABC/Disney, News Corp./Fox, Sony/Columbia Pictures) have made significant investments in their "old media" infrastructures which they can only recoup through the high cost of content bundling of (often unwanted) content to the consumer. They only want to make fewer multi-million dollar "tentpole" movies, with movie budgets in excess of $ 200 million and marketing and distribution costs to match! A series of high budget flops can be financially devastating for these conglomerates with their crushing top-heavy overhead and their layers of paralyzing bureaucracy. On the flip side, smaller independent producers have been capital starved and have not been able to compete with the giant, unwieldy conglomerates. Fragmented ad hoc Internet streaming services often deliver poor quality and limited content selections. These conditions are causing consumers to migrate and search for significantly lower cost options ("99 cent" individual content buys) directly to their smartphones, iPads and laptop screens. Selective choice, convenience, quality, and lower cost (for both consumers and independent producers) all make this massive shift inevitable.

China was responsible for the large decline in graphite prices in the 90s as a substantial amount of product was dumped on the market. This is unlikely to be repeated due to the phenomenal growth in the Chinese domestic steel industry which internally consumes a great deal of graphite. Furthermore, Chinese graphite is declining in quality and costs are increasing due to the effects of high grading, the fact that mines are getting deeper and older, and to tightening labor and environmental standards.

CTLE News
Nano Labs (CTLE) Announces Second Commercial Product Launch: Industrial Diamonds
PrintAlert

Nano Labs Corp. (OTCQB: CTLE) is pleased to announce today that it will be moving forward to patent and commercialize the process of producing industrial diamonds using the Company's proprietary nanotechnology.
Nano Labs' proprietary nanotechnology will utilize tequila as an original precursor for the development of micro crystalline diamond thin films, a process offering an excellent alternative to producing industrial-scale diamond thin films for practical applications at a very low cost.
According to the World Diamond Council, an estimated US$13 billion worth of rough diamonds are produced per year. Industrial diamonds -- which comprise about 70% of diamonds -- are sold for industrial applications including cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing in industrial applications.
"Diamonds are the hardest natural material known to man and the most effective heat conducting material, which also expands very little when subjected to high temperatures. This is unlike most other conducting materials, and diamonds are resistant to most acids and alkalis," said Dr. Victor Castano, CEO of Innovation at Nano Labs. "In addition to being a very low cost alternative to current synthetic diamonds used in traditional industrial applications, diamonds can be explored for use as semiconductors suitable for building microchips and other applications in electronics."
In 2011, total U.S. domestic production of industrial diamond was estimated to be 98.2 million carats, and the U.S. was one of the world's leading markets. The following industry sectors are major consumers of industrial diamond: computer chip production, construction, machinery manufacturing, mining services (drilling for mineral, oil, and gas exploration), stone cutting and polishing, and transportation systems (infrastructure and vehicles).
Stone cutting and highway building, milling, and repair consumed most of the industrial diamond stone. About 99% of the U.S. industrial diamond market now uses synthetic industrial diamond because its quality can be controlled and its properties can be customized to fit specific requirements. (1)
"This innovative technology will allow Nano Labs to pursue several key licensing agreements in different sectors of today's marketplace," said Mr. Bernardo Camacho Chavarria, President of Nano Labs. "Our strategy makes investing in Nano Labs a diversified investment with the ability to generate revenues from different market sectors."
In 2011, China was the world's leading producer of synthetic industrial diamond, with annual production exceeding 4 billion carats. The United States is likely to continue to be one of the world's leading markets for industrial diamond into the next decade and likely will remain a significant producer and exporter of synthetic industrial diamond as well.
Owing to continued recovery from impacts of the economic recession on U.S. manufacturing sectors that utilize industrial diamond, U.S. imports in 2011 increased an estimated 37% compared with those of 2010. U.S. demand for industrial diamond is likely to continue in the construction sector as the United States continues building, milling, and repairing the nation's highway system. Industrial diamond coats the cutting edge of saws used to cut cement in highway construction and repair work. (1)
(1) According to the U.S.G.S. Mineral Commodity Summaries (January 2012)

$GSTV Stevia Approvals

In 2006, the World Health Organization’s Joint Experts Committee on Food Additives performed a thorough evaluation of recent experimental studies of stevioside and steviols and determined them to be safe.


In 2009 in the United States, the U.S. FDA considers "Rebiana (rebaudioside A) to be Generally Recognized As Safe.

On 11 November 2011, the European Commission allowed the usage of steviol glycosides as a food additive, establishing maximum content levels for different types of foods and beverages.

The Asia Pacific region has the largest market share for stevia, where the ingredient has been used as a sweetener in some regions for decades.

Response from Artificial Sweeteners

Stevia’s approval in Europe casts a little more uncertainty on the artificial sweetener industry worldwide. To make Europe’s case more interesting, EFSA recently announced its intent to speed up a risk assessment of the artificial sweetener aspartame, from its original 2020 deadline to a much earlier deadline of 2012. Rising concern from regulatory bodies and consumers over artificial sweeteners has already led suppliers to take stock in stevia and other alternatives. Shortly following the EU’s stevia approval, Chicago-based Merisant, which supplies the artificial sweetener Equal, expanded its Misura stevia line with a launch of the first tabletop stevia sweetener in Italy. Other companies have made similar advancements.

$GSTV Starbucks latest line uses natural sugar substitute Stevia

Starbucks' latest drink line, Starbucks Refreshers, is set to hit the company's stores in the U.S. and Canada July 10 with locations worldwide to follow.

The drink line will be offered in three formats: handcrafted (made by baristas), ready to drink and VIA. VIA is Starbucks' newest drink format, brought to market three years ago, and is best described as a microground product that dissolves when emptied into water. An instant drink on-the-go, if you will.

The handcrafted drinks made their debut in France last week, and eagle eyes may have already noticed the Ready to Drink products on grocery shelves -- they've been out since the spring -- but July 10 is the day the drinks are widely available in Starbucks stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. The handcrafted variety be rolled out internationally this month and next.

The handcrafted and VIA varieties come in two flavors, Cool Lime and Very Berry Hibiscus. Ready to Drink products, which are slightly different in that they're lightly carbonated, come in Stawberry Lemonade, Raspberry Pomegranate and Orange Melon. (We taste tested the ready to drink flavors earlier this year; see how they stacked up here.)

The products mark a milestone for the Seattle-based company as it ventures into the realm of energy drinks, which in 2011 grew in dollar sales by 16 percent according to Beverage Digest magazine. Starbucks tells The Huffington Post that their drink line is a "breakthrough innovation" that will likely set it apart from competitors.

Julie Felss Masino, Starbucks' vice president of global beverage, explained to HuffPost that the products get their energy from an extract of green coffee, which is made with beans that have not been roasted. "You see it in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, Masino explained, but Starbucks' innovation marks the first time its caffeine is being harvested for a drink.

The company has been tinkering with the ingredient for the last two years, and the method is under lock and key. When pressed, Masino revealed it was a proprietary process and she couldn't offer anything further.

She did offer that the products have considerably less caffeine than their traditional coffee counterparts. A Grande Cool Lime, for instance, contains only 45 to 55 mg of caffeine, whereas a Grande Brewed Coffee has 250 mg. It's "real gentle," she said, and the type of thing someone might drink to get through a 3 p.m. slump.

Masino stressed that the product is all-natural, a claim Starbucks is ready to stand behind. "There's been a lot of FDA regulations around energy and caffeine and natural energy and what you can and cant say," she said. "This is natural energy. It's a boost of natural energy from green coffee extract."

Handcrafted drinks are sweetened with fruit juice and natural sugar substitute Stevia; Very Berry Hibiscus contains whole blackberries and Cool Lime a lime wheel. Internationally, handcrafted drinks are sweetened only with cane sugar.

VIA products will only be available in the U.S., but Masino hinted at broader goals for it. "VIA is an innovative line for us," she said cryptically. "We have big plans for that product."
