Monster Arts TAVG App Now Available for Windows Phone
Orange County, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2014 / Monster Arts, Inc. (APPZ) a leading mobile marketing and app technology innovator announces today that its TAVG travel information and advertising website has received a major technology upgrade and is integrated into the Travel America Visitor Guide App now available for Windows phone. Travel America Visitor Guide (or TAVG) is a suite of travel apps and a related online directory that connects travelers and other consumers with local businesses. Now review exclusive photos of your travel destination, restaurant reviews, with improved integrated google mapping on a Windows Phone device.
With six out of ten mobile users now using travel apps like Trip Advisor and Yelp, and considering the immense size of the US travel spending market (about $888 Billion in direct spending and 1.2 Trillion in indirect or induced spending during 2013) (see US Travel Answer Sheet at www.ustravel.org), Monster Arts continues to view TAVG as a very timely and compelling marketing solution within the still high-growth travel app segment of the mobile communications sector. Indeed, in the US, travel apps were seeing the highest year-over-year growth of any industry or product-related app category as recently as May 2012, climbing at an impressive 116%, and increasing well above the growth in overall mobile app use (84%), according to a May 2012 Nielsen study "Courting Today's Mobile Consumer". Trip planning sources have also shifted over the last several years, with social media and mobile devices being used more often. In 2012, nearly one-quarter (23%) of domestic leisure travelers relied on friends and relatives to plan their trips, while three in ten (31%) utilized their own past experiences. One in ten used destination websites, nine percent used traveler provider websites (airline, hotel, rental car, cruise, tours, etc.), five percent used social networking and four percent used a mobile device to help plan their trip. See US Travel Answer Sheet at www.ustravel.org.
Commented Monster Arts CEO and founder Wayne Irving, "We couldn't wait to unveil the new and improved TAVG app and website. With these improvements, we'll be even more user friendly and accessible for mobile device users, and our website will have new features making it more useful than ever before for the business and recreational/pleasure travel markets. Unlike Yelp, we aren't just letting you see reviews and critiques, and we're much more than a service such as Trip Advisor or hotels.com that focus on one narrow portion of the travel market … no sir, TAVG is much more than that. Our site functions like a supercharged yellow pages for today's mobile device user, with a database that can be searched by category, keyword, location, and more." Indeed, the TAVG directory features participant profiles that contain not only descriptive business information, but also pictures, videos, links to members' social media pages and websites, as well as turn-by-turn directions to the listed business' location for the consumer/user based on GPS. Also, with TAVG participating business can manage their own profiles, manager their advertising campaigns, and keep their information up to date with a unique backend component that also offers extensive analytics and customer analysis regarding app and website usage.

More like "participating in a program" that helps a business become more efficient. For homes, it helps the buyer save money. You can also say you are a 'partner" in this program which is good for business. You must now build your homes to the standards, or above the standards, that this group requires.
I believe anyone can sign up. Maybe they can get some good leads out of this... think solar and other companies that may have new revolutionary products.

ENERGY STAR, created in 1992, is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Partnership offers a unique opportunity to leverage ENERGY STAR. The ENERGY STAR label appears on over 65 different product categories as well as new homes, commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Home industry professionals who partner with EPA's ENERGY STAR can increase revenue, enhance customer satisfaction, and gain national recognition as industry and environmental leaders. ENERGY STAR and its partners — builders, Home Energy Raters, utilities, state and regional sponsors, and lenders — work together to promote the benefits and increase sales of energy-efficient homes.
Candor Homes Enters Into Partnership with Energy Star(R) in Connection with New Home Construction in Iowa
Des Moines, IA / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2014 / Candor Homes Corporation, a company focused on “Greener” and "Smarter" new home construction and sales, is pleased today to announce its partnership with, and participation in, the Energy Star(R) program. Energy Star is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency; participation in this program promotes energy-efficient homes that can improve builder profitability, improve home quality and homeowner comfort, lower energy demand, and reduce air pollution. Energy Star qualified homes are third-party verified to be significantly more energy efficient than homes built to code. Savings are typically achieved through a combination of envelope upgrades, high performance windows, controlled air infiltration, upgraded heating and air conditioning systems, tight duct systems, upgraded waterheating equipment and efficient lighting and appliances.
Since its establishment in 1992, and as of December 2012, participants in this program, ranging from families, governmental organizations and businesses – including Fortune 500 companies – have realized estimated savings of more than $239 billion on utility bills and have prevented more than 1.9 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Most recently, the EPA completed the transition to new, more rigorous requirements for homes to earn the Energy Star label. Homes certified under the new requirements are at least 15% more efficient than those build to the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code, and include additional energy-saving features to deliver a performance advantage of up to 30% compared to typical new homes.
Indeed, the interplay of government, business and market forces brought together through Energy Star has changed the energy efficiency landscape. As noted by the EPA, 85% of Americans recognize the blue Energy Star label, and of the households that knowingly purchased an Energy Star certified product, about 75% credited the label as an important factor in their purchase decision.
Home builders such as Candor Homes Corporation (http://www.candorhomescorp.com/) that participate as partners in this program undertake a number of commitments, including (i) to clearly inform homebuyers when their new homes have qualified for the Energy Star label and to be able to describe the features and benefits of these Energy Star qualified homes, and (ii) to provide a home energy rating report or relevant Builder Option Package for any qualified home upon the EPA’s request.
Candor Homes is owned 53% by Monster Arts, Inc. and 47% by Purity Investments, LLC, and the company is located in Ankeny, Iowa. The company’s principal operations officers, have a wealth of experience in the fields of new home construction and sales and home renovations/remodeling, particularly in the region of Central Iowa, where Candor Homes will undertake its initial business operations.

About Energy Star:
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR program was established by EPA in 1992, under the authority of the Clean Air Act Section 103(g). Section103(g) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to "conduct a basic engineering research and technology program to develop, evaluate, and demonstrate non–regulatory strategies and technologies for reducing air pollution." In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. Section 131 of the Act amends Section 324 (42 USC 6294) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and "established at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency a voluntary program to identify and promote energy–efficient products and buildings in order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce pollution through voluntary labeling of or other forms of communication about products and buildings that meet the highest energy efficiency standards."
Under EPA’s leadership, American consumers, businesses, and organizations have made investments in energy efficiency that are transforming the market for efficient products and practices, creating jobs, and stimulating the economy. Now in its 20th year, the ENERGY STAR program has boosted the adoption of energy efficient products, practices, and services through valuable partnerships, objective measurement tools, and consumer education.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Significant opportunity for climate change mitigation exists from helping consumers and businesses save energy. Energy use in homes, buildings, and industry account for two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. ENERGY STAR has been instrumental in reducing this energy use in order to realize significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions2 - contributing to important health and environmental benefits by addressing the challenges of climate change while strengthening our economy. ENERGY STAR benefits have grown steadily over time, nearly tripling in the last decade.

20% is good as long as they are promoted well through the "Maxium Archery" show.
Its not a bad PR, just tells us they have clients still wanting apps. I would add a good fishing app to that billing. If you're going to stick with outdoor style apps for this client, build on that.

Here is the first Sat morning cartoon. LOL
I agree. There are sooooooooooooooo many stocks that would be in this boat. The first few months will be crazy. Shorts and flippers will not be happy once this rule begins.
There goes the money.
IMO
I do not believe it will have an affect on Appz, but no one can be 100% sure that nothing will change. IMO, we will now just be a pinky. I believe that the company will have to figure out the new rules, see how it plays out and adjust accordingly.

Szaferman Lakind Securities: OTCQB Eligibility Standards May 1, 2014
OTCQB MARKETPLACE TO CHANGE ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS STARTING ON MAY 1, 2014
Gregg E. Jaclin, Partner
Eric M. Stein, Of Counsel
Effective May 1, 2014, OTC Markets Group (OTCQX: OTCM) will change its eligibility requirement for companies seeking to be listed on the OTCQB® Venture Stage Marketplace (“OTCQB”). In order to be listed on the new OTCQB, which will now add features such as Level 2 Quotes and the OTC Disclosure & News Services, companies will be required to meet a new initial and ongoing “bid price test”, provide additional information, and submit an initial application and annual OTCQB certification signed by the company CEO or CFO, along with the appropriate annual fee. Companies that are not eligible for either the new OTCQB or the OTCQX® (“OTCQX”) are expected to be traded by broker-dealers on the OTC Pink® Marketplace (“OTC Pink”).
Background Information
OTC Markets Group operates three public marketplaces for U.S. and global securities: OTCQX, OTCQB and OTC Pink. OTCQX, the top tier, is created primarily for established global and high-growth domestic companies that can meet high financial standards, requiring companies to provide shareholders with more timely disclosure, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws and be sponsored by a professional third-party advisor. Because of its strict standards, many companies have used OTCQX as a springboard to achieve an exchange listing. OTCQX can be further broken down to three smaller marketplaces: 1) “OTCQX US” for smaller and high-growth domestic companies that meet high financial, operating and disclosure requirements, 2) “OTCQX International” for global companies that are already listed on an international stock exchange; and 3) “OTCQX Banks”, which could be an cost-effective marketplace for established SEC and non-SEC reporting regional and community banks that are well managed and strongly capitalized.
In the middle is OTCQB which has become the preferred marketplace for broker-dealers to electronically trade in companies that are at their early and developmental stage, but are not yet qualified for OTCQX. Lastly, OTC Pink offers an open marketplace for broker-dealers to trade in all types of securities requiring minimum involvement of the company.
New OTCQB Eligibility Standards
Bid Price Test
As part of the initial application, both currently listed and prospective companies, regardless of its reporting standard (e.g. SEC Reporting, Bank Reporting, or International Reporting), must have a bid price of $0.01 as of the close of business for each of the previous thirty calendar days. For instance, for a company to maintain or gain its OTCQB status on May 1, the company must first have a minimum bid price of $0.01 per share as of the close of business each day between April 1 and April 30, 2014. Once the company is listed on OTCQB, the company also must meet the minimum bid price of $0.01 per share as of the close of business for at least one of every thirty consecutive calendar days. In other words, upon obtaining OTCQB status, a company cannot be traded below $0.01 for more than twenty-nine consecutive calendar days.
Initial & Annual OTCQB Certification
Each company is required to post an initial and annual OTCQB Certification signed by its CEO or CFO on the OTC Markets website. The certification must identify the company’s reporting standard, describe company’s registration status, state that the company is in compliance with reporting obligations and such information is complete and available on either EDGAR or the OTC Markets website, verify company’s profile on OTC Markets website, disclose information on management, board of directors, and beneficial shareholders, indicate attorneys involved in the preparation of its Annual Report or 10-K, and confirm the total shares outstanding and in the public float as of the most recent fiscal year end, among others.
Current OTCQB Companies
Starting on March 31, 2014 and completing on March 30, 2015, OTC Markets will apply the new standards for current OTCQB companies over the course of a year. In addition to the minimum bid test, each current OCTQB company is expected to comply with the new standards, including staying current with periodic reporting obligations, submission of annual certification and posting current SEC disclosure, within 120 days after its current fiscal year end; failure to do so will result in the downgrading to OTC Pink. Companies with a March 31 fiscal year end will be the first group of currently listed companies subject to the new procedures and will be required to comply by July 31, 2014, whereas the last group (with fiscal year end of March 30) are required to comply by July 30, 2015.
During 2014, companies may opt to comply with the new standards prior to their required compliance date to obtain a discounted pricing.
International Reporting Companies
Under the new standards, international reporting companies that are in compliance with SEC Rule 12g3-2(b) and listed on a qualified foreign stock exchange may apply to trade on OTCQB. In addition to passing the initial bid-price test and submitting an initial application and applicable fees, such companies also need to provide a Letter of Introduction from a qualified Principal American Liaison (“PAL”) which states that the PAL has a reasonable belief that the company is in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b), is listed on a qualified foreign exchange and has posted on the OTC Markets website all necessary and proper disclosure documents, including disclosure required under Rule 12g3-2(b) in English for the previous two fiscal years and initial certification by company’s CEO or CFO. Once listed on OTCQB, such companies will have ongoing obligations to pass the bid-price test, post disclosure documents, including Quarterly Reports and audited Annual Reports, and update officer certification annually.
Bank Reporting Companies
Similar to all of other companies applying to OTCQB, bank reporting companies also need to pass the initial and ongoing bid-price test and submit initial OTCQB application and applicable fees, along with an officer certification each year. In addition, such companies also need to post any disclosure that is filed with the company’s bank regulator, except for information deemed non-public.

Monster Arts to Build "American Rebel Racer" Drag Racing Game to Accompany Next Season of Maximum Archery TV Show
Orange County, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2014 / Monster Arts, Inc. (OTCQB:APPZ) is pleased today to announce its recent engagement to build a new drag racing Smartphone and tablet game for Max Apps and TV Star Andy Ross, with a future launch date to be set around the next season of Andy Ross's hugely popular television show, Maximum Archery.
How big is the drag racing industry? Just consider that as recently as March 2011, Yahoo has reported that drag racing had become the 2nd most popular motorsport, just ahead of Nascar, ranked as the 3rd largest sport in terms of popularity in the United States (again, Drag Racing is 2nd only to, NFL/College football). Yahoo also estimated that drag racing has a fan following of between 35 and 75 million fans. Another respected source for sports-business information (Sports Business Journal) has reported that "Drag Racing is the #1 sport offering good value for the money."
See “Surprise! Drag Racing is One of the Top 3 Sports in the U.S,” by Daryle Hier, Yahoo Contributor Network, March 8, 2011. It should come as no surprise that the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) is recognized as the world’s largest sports organization and sanctioning body, with 80,000 members and 31,000 licensed competitors and a strong network of participating tracks across the US.
By way of example, in December of 2012, IBISWorld, a respected market research firm, estimated promoters’ revenues generated from drag racing events to be more than 257 million dollars annually. See “Drag Racing & Road Racing Promoters in the US: Market Research Report.” And one single Smartphone game, "Drag Racing", has had nearly 500,000,000 downloads on Android and iPhone and is estimated to be generating millions of dollars in "in-app" sales of upgrades, levels, and additional races.
"There are already several successful mobile device-compatible games on the market that relate to a variety of motorcar-related sports, including drag racing, Nascar, IndyCar, motorcycle drag racing and drifting. American Rebel Racer will have an enticing, attractive twist to it, along with a highly visible TV celebrity and TV show behind it to promote it and keep it in the public’s eye. Drag racing is ever popular, with some of the drag racing games on today’s mobile phone app markets celebrating more than 100,000,000 downloads, " commented, Wayne Irving Monster Arts CEO. Irving added, “Without a doubt, we’re very excited about our association with Andy Ross and enthusiasm for this project, and more generally, to be player in this space!”
The "American Rebel Racer” drag racing game from Andy Ross will center around the 2nd Amendment Muscle Car, built by fellow TV Star Danny "The Count" Koker. See the car tonight on a re-run of Counting Cars on the History Channel at 10:30 EST / 7:30 PST in the episode entitled, "Rocked and Loaded". The episode will also play tomorrow at 2:30 PM EST / 11:30 AM PST.
Design for the game was conceptualized and supervised by Monster Arts, with the input and advice by Andy Ross himself and leading outside consultants experienced in drag racing and drifting.

5 apps for spying on your spouse
How to keep tabs on your loved ones—for better or for worse
Trick or Tracker
Many parents want to keep track of their kids—and not just on Halloween. Wayne Irving, a father of four and the president and CEO of Laguna Niguel, Calif.-based technology company Iconosys, has a novel solution. Trick or Tracker , available only on Android, can be used by up to seven family members at one time. The app must be downloaded on both parties’ smartphones—with their permission, of course. It can send text alerts when a child has traveled out of a previously agreed area, and it has a latchkey-kid feature that can ping a parent when a child arrives home. It tracks the phone using the geolocation data contained in text messages and sends the person’s location every 15 minutes. Irving says it could also be used to track a child in the unlikely event of an abduction. It’s $4.99 and, according to Irving, it currently has 368,000 users.
Thanks ospreyeye... the company is ICONOSYS. Yes I know this fact.

WSJ Live Lunch Break Covers Trick or Tracker(R)
Accesswire
WSJ Live and Market Watch Tech reporter Quentin Fottrell says "I Like This One!... I really like it." about Iconosys' Trick or Tracker(R) App
Orange County, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March, 10th 2014 / Today, Iconosys, a leading developer of over 1000 family safety, lifestyle, and entertainment Smartphone apps (including the ever popular Word Bully(R) and Drive Reply(R) apps), is pleased to announce that its "super-app" Trick or Tracker(R) has recently been profiled in the Wall Street Journal Live "Lunch Break" broadcast. Trick or Tracker(R) is the popular family safety app that allows parents, children, and other family members to keep track of each other's whereabouts.
Trick or Tracker(R) was originally developed to provide parents with a means of effectively monitoring their trick-or-treating children on Halloween night, although it is used by most all year round. The app allows parents to monitor whereabouts and locations of one or more of their children or loved ones from a single smart device. In addition to bi-directional tracking, parents can set an allowable perimeter and receive notifications if their child travels outside of this perimeter, or pre-set destinations like their home or school and receive notifications when the child arrives at his or her destination. And because many, if not most of us are now using and carrying Smartphones on a daily basis, and this app alleviates the fear and stress that concerned parents, children, or spouses might otherwise have about losing track of each other.
When it was introduced in autumn of 2010, the Trick or Tracker(R) app was an instant hit … becoming so popular that it was prominently featured on such television shows as Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Today, after continued press coverage and publicity, not to mention 10's of thousands of downloads, Trick or Tracker(R) continues to be the Halloween family safety app of choice, with the Chicago Tribune naming it the #1 app for Halloween 2013 just last fall. And with recent improvements and technology updates to the app done late last year (see discussion below regarding the app’s special technology features), it has become as essential as ever – a real “must have” phone accessory - for parents who need to keep close tabs on their loved ones.
Commented Wayne Irving, II, co-founder of Iconosys and developer of Trick or Tracker(R), “The app continues to grow and maintain its loyal customer base. Protecting the safety and welfare of our children will continue to be a central priority for parents, not just during holidays like Halloween but more generally throughout the year, whenever kids may be out and about with friends or other adults. Having this app selected and highlighted by Wall Street Journal Live validates our product and the approach we have taken with it. We are gratified and excited about this publicity, and are very proud to have created leading apps like Trick or Tracker(R), which have real staying power and have yet to be matched in the competitive marketplace for mobile communications apps.”
Trick or Tracker(R) now comes loaded with Iconosys’ other popular child safety app technologies, including Guards Up(TM) a geo-fence technology, Latchkey Kid(TM) , a technology that notifies the parent or guardian when a child or loved one arrives home from school or to school [what every parent needs to have if their child takes the bus, is dropped off by a third party, or is walking to school], as well as other enhanced Iconosys’ technologies, all built right into the child’s phone. Trick or Tracker® installs easily on both the parent’s phone and the child’s phone, allowing the adult to find the child either on demand or at pre-set check-in intervals, and enabling the children to locate the parent or to send a distress message to the parent in a time of need, which notifies the parent or message recipient of the child’s exact physical location through the aid of a daytime satellite map.

Sure why not. After this shell is bought out, a 100,000-1 Reverse Split, and a new company created, especially in the MJ industry, this will be another POS to play in.
Those stocks are dead too. That time has come and gone.
IMO
Looks like your famous Sampa. You got a mention here.
http://comicsbeat.com/is-a-holding-company-acquiring-what-is-left-of-platinum-studios/
Anyway, the epicenter—if you call a dozen messages a month an epicenter—of all things Platinum these days is the stock message board, where someone glommed on to the fact that a stock holding company KCG Holdings (NYSE: KCG), a subsidiary ofKCG America, LLC, is buying a lot of stock in the company, a lot meaning 27 million shares.
I heard that too, but I do not believe it has come to trial yet. We would have heard something.
KCG is up to something. They just filed under Platinum's SEC info (down at the bottom).

http://www.secinfo.com/d14D5a.n1y29.htm#1stPage
Thats what I thought could be happening here.
IMO
Thanks
I have not heard, but I just checked and do not see a late notice. It should be soon.
I did see this though:
On January 24, 2014, the Registrant relocated its corporate headquarter to 806 East Avenida Pico, Suite I-288, San Clemente, CA 92673.
How would I know. You need to call your broker and ask them WTF they are doing. You should be able to at least buy unless there is a chill on PDOS.
IMO
LMAO. I wouldnt say that. He probally has a MacD job to help pay the bills. God knows, this POS business ain't making money.
Thats true. Lets hope for the best. We all need to, at the very least, make our money back and a nice profit.
Hopefully if they buy enough, they can push Scott out. He's asleep at the wheel anyway, should be easy.
IMO
Interesting. Maybe this company can pull this POS out of the pit of dispear. The amont of shares they bought gives them the right to sit on the board, if they dont try to P&D the price to sell later, which is not a bad thing for us IMO.

I just read Farm Bill approved. Now off to Obama to sign.
Hemp in this farm bill.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/04/politics/farm-bill/index.html
HEMP LAWS RELAXED: The bill would allow farmers to grow hemp, marijuana's non-intoxicating cousin, in 10 states as research projects. Those states already allow the growing of hemp, though federal drug law has blocked actual cultivation in most.
Hemp is often used in rope but has also been used to make clothing, mulch, foods, creams, soaps and lotions.
Last I heard it was with Valhalla Entertainment (yes Walking Dead creator) but there has been no news (or any news for that matter). At this point we are DITW (dead in the water) and floating belly up.
IMO
