LOS ANGELES, March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Drinks Americas (OTC: DKAM; "Drinks Americas" or the "Company"), the exclusive United States broker for leading premium authentic Mexican beers currently present in over 34 states, is proud to announce that ABC Fine Wine
PORT ORANGE, Fla., March 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thinspace Technology Inc. (OTCBB: THNS; "Thinspace or the "Company"), formerly known as Vanity Events Holdings and Propalms Ltd., a global provider of reliable, scalable and affordable application delivery, virtualization, and cloud client technology to public and private sector companies and organizations of all sizes, today is pleased to announce that Dealership Technology Services (DTS), a provider of Information Technology as a Service [ItaaS] to automotive dealerships in South East Florida, has extended and expanded its long-term partnership with the Company. Established in 2002 and based in Fort Lauderdale, DTS currently provides IT services to automotive dealership clients from the Gold Coast (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties) through the Treasure Coast (Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties) and hopes to shortly expand into the First Coast of Florida (Flager County/St. Augustine north to Nassau County Fernandina Beach) which also includes the Duval County/Jacksonville City metro areas.
Through their partnership with Thinspace that originated in July 2012, DTS has recommended and provided the Company's Pano Logic VDI solutions for desktop virtualization to their clients and has experienced great feedback and success as a result. DTS plans to expand their deployments of Pano Logic VDI solutions for the foreseeable future and provide additional product offerings such as a desktop and application delivery solution utilizing RDP 8, a hosted desktop service, which will provide clients the ability to access their Microsoft based desktop from any mobile device utilizing iOS or Android technology.As a VMware Professional partner, DTS recognized that VDI is an ideal solution for most of its client base. By leveraging the cost savings enabled by the Pano Logic desktop solution, coupled with a traditional VMware back-end, DTS has been able to bring the economies of scale of large fortune 500 and 100 companies down to the level of smaller organizations that are typically less than 100 Desktops. Most VDI solutions were cost prohibitive prior to the introduction Pano Logic based desktops into the SMB infrastructure arena.DTS remains committed to Thinspace's Pano Logic VDI solution because it is reliable, scalable, and most importantly, clients data is secured at the server level via NAS technology enabled by leveraging VMware virtualization. Thinspace coupled with VMware provides the most secure and scalable zero client solution currently on the market."Thinspace's Pano Logic VDI infrastructure has been a real success for both our clients and for us. It has provided us a cost effective solution for smaller deployments, where the client would generally not be able to implement VDI. Additionally, we find the Pano Logic product to be extremely stable, and the administrative tools provided give us the ability to perform all of the tasks needed to remotely diagnose and correct issues when they do happen making this platform a win-win for everybody. We look forward to expanding our service offerings hand in hand with Thinspace," commented Lester Laverick, President of Dealer Technology Services (DTS).Owen Dukes, Chief Executive Officer of Thinspace Technology, added, "We are pleased to see the continued commitment to our Pano Logic VDI solution exhibited by DTS and other clients. This loyalty exists because the Pano Logic VDI product like our other thin client products is not only cost-effective, reliable, and scalable, but also it comes with excellent customer service and solid ongoing technology support. It's a comprehensive solution that allows DTS to meet the IT needs of their expanding client base."About the Industry Thinspace Technology operates in high growth B2B markets of application delivery, virtualization and cloud client technology that make it easier, more flexible and more affordable for companies and IT Managers to conduct and streamline computing operations securely from any server - anywhere in the world. IDC predicts that 2014 is the year where desktop virtualization is going to become main stream given its advantages currently in demand: low cost, flexibility, secure and green. According to Gartner research, the global desk top virtualization market is expected to surpass $65 billion in 2015. Competitive Landscape Thinspace's Propalms product set has comparable functionality to Citrix as well as greater speed and simpler installation processes. However the Company's low production cost enables it to offer its product at a much lower, more competitive price than Citrix, currently some 50% less per user. The maintenance cost for any potential customer is also substantially reduced. With the total cost of ownership for all organizations a priority, Thinspace is able to substantially win more new customers across a broad range of Government and Industry sectors. Through its network of distributors and resellers, Thinspace typically targets medium size organizations with up to 1000 users. Citrix mainly targets organizations with a larger number of users and consequently they are not currently a significant competitor threat to Propalms. About Thinspace Technology Inc.Formerly known as Vanity Events Holdings and Propalms Ltd., Thinspace Technology Inc (OTC: THNS) "Thinspace" is a global provider of reliable, scalable and affordable application delivery, virtualization, and cloud client technology to public and private sector companies and organizations of all sizes. Operating on the belief that application delivery and cloud computing solutions should be flexible, dynamic and above all, simple to use, Thinspace understands and is passionate about solving customer problems affordably in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

Second, Marijuana Informant will stand as a central hub and foundation of a strategic integration plan which the Company is currently pursuing with related companies in the MMJ sector.

(OTCQB: DEWM) (OTCBB: DEWM) ("Dewmar" or "Company"), a leading provider of consumer brands to global markets, announced today that the Company has exceeded its original projection of 300% revenue growth for Q1-2014 compared to Q4-2013 by 250% with roughly two weeks remaining in the quarter. Dewmar experienced a significant increase in Lean Slow Motion Potion sales after fulfilling a number of purchase orders from repeat customers. In a February 5, 2014 press release, the Company projected that it should see at least a 300% increase in sales compared to previous quarter. As of today's, date the previous quarter comparison stands at a 550% increase.
"This is a very positive start to our 2014 year as we have shattered our aggressive 1st quarter growth projections that we set at the beginning of the year," said Dr. Marco Moran, CEO of Dewmar International. "The number would have actually been larger had we been able to fill two additional purchase orders, as we ran out of product due to a production run glitch at our new bottler that created a shortage in our largest batch run in over a year. These unfilled orders simply give us a head start on Q2-2014 earnings," Dr. Moran continued. "Additionally, Dewmar saw a significant increase in its online sales orders for Q1-2014."
In order to remedy new beverage production facility manufacturing issues on future batches, Dewmar has began negotiations with another bottler in a region much closer to most of its repeat customers. This move should reduce the Company's shipping costs thus improving profitability. With Dewmar expecting to launch Kush Cake brownies in the second quarter, along with other potential hemp-based consumable goods later in the year, Dewmar appears to be on pace to far surpass our original revenue expectations for 2014.
About Dewmar International BMC, Inc.Dewmar International BMC, Inc. is a leading provider of consumer brands to global markets. The Company's flagship product, LEAN SLOW MOTION POTION? whose three flavors are Yella, Purp and Easta Pink, is rated as one of the top 3 national selling relaxation beverages currently available in the U.S. market, Trinidad

Cannabis is among the fastest-growing markets in the U.S., poised to
outpace the expansion of the global smartphone market—and Neutra Corp.
(OTCBB: NTRR) is readying a diverse product line to capitalize on that
growth.
In November, The Huffington Post reported on a publication by
Arcview Market Research that surveyed hundreds of medical cannabis
retailers, processors, dispensary owners and industry leaders over the
course of six months last year. Researchers estimated that more than
$1.43 billion worth of legal marijuana were sold in 2013 and predicted
that figure to grow by 64 percent to $2.34 billion this year.
By comparison, recent figures show that the smartphone market expanded
by 46 percent from 2012 to 2013.
“Virtually no domestic market is growing as quickly as cannabis,” said
NTRR CEO Sydney Jim. “That’s why entrepreneurs and investors are
flocking to this industry. We’re very enthusiastic about the gains
predicted for this sector, and we’re working hard to provide new
innovations to make the industry less harmful, more predictable and more
profitable.”
The report cited by Huffington predicts that 14 more states will
legalize cannabis for recreational adult use in the next five years,
potentially creating a $10.2 billion market by 2018. To capitalize, NTRR
is working alongside innovative partners to deliver game-changing
solutions for cannabis growers, patients and retailers. The company is
developing a diverse line of products for each niche in the marketplace
in order to capture the largest share possible of the red-hot market.
By providing a variety of new technologies designed to ensure safer,
more reliable access to cannabis in approved markets, Neutra Corp. plans
to enjoy unprecedented growth in 2014 alongside Cannabis Science, Inc.
(OTCBB: CBIS), GW Pharmaceuticals, plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) and CannaBusiness
Group, Inc. (PINK: CBGI), delivering technological advancements in the
cultivation and processing of cannabis in approved markets.

Astika Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: ASKH) a strategic
acquisition company of service, agriculture and industrial companies
from the Nantong Region in China announced yesterday that it is entering
into the Industrial Hemp sector through partnerships with current
leaseholders with the goal of acquiring operating facilities to begin
its own facilities in Asia and New Zealand with the launch of Nantong HZ
Hemp Co. Ltd.
Due to the positive response to Astika’s entrance into the Industrial
Hemp sector to grow the Company’s agriculture initiatives and revenues,
Mark Richards, the director for Astika Holdings commented, “the Hemp
initiative runs parallel with Astika’s "Green Future" objectives with
the Nantong Grain Seeder of High Accuracy which meets the requirement of
agriculture modernization in China, performs a multi-function
agriculture process which reduces the utilization of tractors, lowers
the associated costs, increases the yield, uses less fertilization,
decreases pollution and protects the environment."
Hemp requires little to no pesticides, no herbicides, controls erosion
of the topsoil, produces oxygen and can be used to replace many
potentially harmful products, such as tree paper (the processing of
which uses chlorine bleach, which results in the waste product
polychlorinated dioxins, which are carcinogenic, and contribute to
deforestation, cosmetics, and plastics, most of which are
petroleum-based and do not decompose easily. Hemp produces 4 times the
raw material than trees for paper making and can be planted between 1-3
times a season, depending on location, be recycled up to 10 times,
compared to 3 or 4 times for wood pulp paper. The same hemp fiber
products from a hemp harvest provides raw-materials for products such
as, paper, textiles, building materials, industrial materials, foods,
cosmetics and a host of other sustainable Green products.
With China as the single largest supplier of US imports of raw and
processed hemp fiber, Astika focused its agriculture plans in the
high-profile Industrial Hemp sector in China and New Zealand where the
opportunity is available to generate revenues. The 2012 Annual Retail
Sales for Hemp Report, estimates the total US retail value of hemp
products in 2012 was nearly $500 million (The Hemp Industries
Association or "HIA"). Astika believes that China will continue to have
influence on Hemp market prices, year-to-year profits of producers and
processors in other countries.
The Company intends to be issuing press releases to its shareholders in
the coming days and weeks outlining a series of potential acquisitions
and expansion. Astika Holdings is in the process of making the necessary
filings in Form 8-Ks, which will be filed on the US SEC EDGAR system
providing the specifics of developments. The new management intends to
position the Company for an up-listing to a higher exchange such as the
NASDAQ BX or NASDAQ, once the Company meets the financial status and
market share price for up-listing qualification. The Company has begun

Los Angeles, March 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCorRx, Inc. ('the
Company") (OTCQB: BICX), a leader in addiction treatment and
rehabilitation programs, announced it has entered into a letter of
intent to sell the exclusive license and distribution rights of its
Start Fresh Program to Fresh
Start Private Midwest, LLC ("Midwest"). Under the terms of
the pending agreement, Midwest will agree to pay BioCorRx, Inc. an
upfront license fee plus an ongoing upfront fee per program order
in the states of Minnesota, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The combined population of these states is over
15 million people, many of which can benefit from the Start Fresh
Program. Minnesota for instance, has been ranked third in a
list of states with the highest percentage of residents dependent
on alcohol by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, an agency within the Federal Department of Health
and Human Services. This pending agreement creates the
potential to help countless families in all three states suffering
from the ill effects of this deadly disease, the worst of which are
fatalities due to overdose and impaired driving. According to
the Centers for Disease Control, Oklahoma ranks as one of the
highest states for prescription drug overdose deaths in the
nation. Furthermore, the FDA has recently approved of a
new pure hydrocodone painkiller that is
presumably going to increase the already
abysmal addiction and overdose rates nationwide.
Impaired driving deaths are not only tragic, but cost Missouri
taxpayers approximately $1.4 billion annually.
Bringing the Start Fresh Program to these three new
states will positively impact families while creating a broader
revenue stream for BioCorRx, Inc.
"We are pleased about this pending deal for several
reasons. A wider footprint throughout the Midwest expands our
reach and increases revenues in a well-populated area" said Kent
Emry, CEO of BioCorRx, Inc. "This is an indication of the
potential of the Start Fresh Program to quickly become a national
household brand when it comes to recovery from these debilitating
addictons. Furthermore, FSP Midwest currently operates in
Nebraska and we are pleased with their operations and
representation of our program thus far."Recent Mediahttps://vimeo.com/88412943http://ehealthradio.podbean.com/2014/02/22/biocorrx-inc-the-treatment-of-alcoholism-with-its-revolutionary-start-fresh-program/http://thestockradio.com/ceyyfresh-start-private-management-inc-coo-brady-granier/https://vimeo.com/85537808https://vimeo.com/84401532http://vimeo.com/m/84960767http://www.thedoctorstv.com/videolib/init/10691About BioCorRxBioCorRx, Inc. (OTCQB: BICX) is an addiction
treatment and rehabilitation company on the leading edge of
substance abuse addiction treatment. The company has developed a
highly effective program called the Start Fresh
ProgramTM consisting of two components used by various
addiction clinics in the US. Clinic reports show that the treatment
program has an 85% success rate with individuals that complete the
program. The first component of the program consists of an
outpatient implant procedure performed by a licensed physician that
delivers therapeutic levels of the drug Naltrexone, an opioid
antagonist that significantly reduces physical cravings for alcohol
and opioids, into the body. The second component of the program
developed by BioCorRx is a one on one coaching program specifically
tailored for the treatment of alcoholism and other substance abuse
addictions. For more information on BICX, visit www.BioCorRx.comSafe Harbor

SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/18/14 -- Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCQB: PLPL), a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts for industries including health, wellness, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical, today announced that it has completed and successfully tested Stage 1 of its state-of-the-art production facility on the Senteeko Tea Estate in South Africa. Video of the test is available on the company's website at www.plandaibiotech.com. Once fully commissioned, the factory will produce the company's proprietary Phytofare? Catechin Complex, which is a highly bioavailable green tea extract that will be marketed to nutraceutical companies as an ingredient across a broad spectrum of health and wellness products.
The company also disclosed that Stage 2 is scheduled to be completed and tested on March 21 with Stage 3 brought online in early April. The final commissioning will take place over April as the company's engineers and scientists fine-tune the equipment, train staff, and test the output for conformity with the product profile.
At capacity, the Senteeko facility can process 400 hectares (988 acres) of live green tea, yielding a total of eight tons of Phytofare? every month. The facility is designed to also process lemons, which will be used to produce a Limonoid Glycoside Complex. Most of the citrus line equipment has been delivered, though this segment of the facility will not be brought online until later in 2014, pending the completion of additional clinical trials.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Roger Duffield commented, "The Senteeko facility will shortly come online, representing the culmination of over ten years of painstaking research and development. As the video shows, Stage 1 is now operational, which allows us to render live plant matter into a slurry that is then pumped into Stage 2 where the molecule is opened up to release the phytonutrients. Stage 3 then separates the various components, removes the water, and yields high purity extract. All of the equipment is in place for Stages 2 and 3 with the electronics, computers and steam piping currently being installed."
The first product to be introduced to the market is Phytofare? Catechin Complex, which includes the entire catechin profile derived from green tea. Because the company's process requires the use of live plant material, Plandaí situated its facility on the footprint of the old black tea factory within the 8000 acre Senteeko Tea Estate, situated in the Barberton District of Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, bordering the Kingdom of Swaziland.
About Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc.
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. and its subsidiaries develop highly bioavailable, phytonutrient rich extracts which are being utilized to deliver a new family of drugs to safely and affordably treat a multitude of diseases and conditions. Plandaí Biotechnology controls every aspect of the process, from growing the raw materials on its farms in South Africa, to producing its patented Phytofare? extracts in-house, allowing the Company to guarantee the continuity of supply as well as quality control throughout the entire process.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hybrid Coating Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:HCTI) is pleased to announce that it has entered into advanced negotiations with a Fortune 500 company to modify and then commercialize one of its products based on its non isocyanate polyurethane platform technology. Hybrid expects to complete negotiations, enter into an agreement and commence product modifications in approximately 45 days. Upon successful completion of the product modifications, Hybrid expects to give worldwide exclusive rights of the modified product to this commercial partner and to retain ownership of the intellectual property. Once commercialized and after a reasonable ramp up period, management expects revenues to Hybrid from the sale of this product to reach the $20,000,000 range per annum. "We are very happy to be working with this household brand as we continue to execute on our strategic plan of partnering with industry leaders to commercialize products in different verticals of our industry based on our platform technology," said Joseph Kristul, President and CEO.
As part of a non disclosure agreement, Hybrid is not at liberty to divulge the identity of the potential partner.
Hybrid is in advanced discussions and testing with several other similar sized companies as well and expects to enter into agreements with some of these in the near future. In all, Hybrid is at different stages of discussions and/or testing with more than 24 different companies of which 11 of these are large multinationals.
Hybrid's patented technology is the only formulation in the world today that produces polyurethane without the use of any isocyanates in the entire production process.
On June 25, 2013 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, initiated a National Emphasis Program to protect workers from the serious health effects from occupational exposure to isocyanates. Isocyanates are found in polyurethane based products. According to the OSHA, "Workers exposed to isocyanates can suffer debilitating health problems for months or even years after exposure which could result in death."
The U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is looking to control and potentially outright ban isocyanates and mentioned Hybrid's technology as an alternative to toxic polyurethane in its Action Plan against isocyanates (see page 4 Figovsky and Shapovalov)http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/actionplans/mdi.pdf
