Cannabis Science has Taken a Leadership Role to Progress its Pharmaceutical Products Under the New Policies the Federal Government has Implemented for the Use of Medical Cannabis
Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS), a pioneering US biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, has hailed the new Veterans Affairs position allowing medical use of marijuana by Vets in states with medical marijuana laws as validating the company's strategy.
Cannabis Science President and CEO, Dr. Robert Melamede, PhD, states, "We believe it is inappropriate that our veterans have access to cannabis based medicines in some states while others are denied their medicines because their states have not yet approved medical marijuana. Cannabis Science will remedy this situation by taking our cannabis-based products through the FDA process for nationwide distribution. This way all Americans will have access to a safe and effective FDA approved medicine regardless of which state they live in. We believe that the new Federal policies are not only a validation of our decision to focus on helping disabled vets, but also an implicit recognition of the need to reschedule cannabis so that cannabis medicines will have a wider medical availability. After all, cannabis medicines are far safer than aspirin, acetaminophen, and most other OTC drugs that kill thousands of Americans every year. There is no effective lethal dose for cannabis. "
Richard Cowan, Cannabis Science CFO, added, "We continue to work on developing cannabis extracts for FDA approval, but we are also developing the Cannabis Science brand for products that can be sold in states with medical marijuana laws, and in pharmacies when the Federal government recognizes that its current scheduling of cannabis is scientifically absurd. We think rescheduling is now inevitable. The only question is 'when'."
About Cannabis Science, Inc.
Cannabis Science, Inc. is at the forefront of pharmaceutical grade medical marijuana research and development. The Company works with world authorities on phytocannabinoid science targeting critical illnesses, and adheres to scientific methodologies to develop, produce and commercialize phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products. In sum, we are dedicated to the creation of cannabis-based medicines, both with and without psychoactive properties, to treat disease and the symptoms of disease, as well as for general health maintenance.

Westmont Resources Inc. Purchases 92 Oil & Natural Gas Well Assets to Gain Strategic Position in Marcellus-Chattanooga Oil & Natural Gas Play
Westmont Resources Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WMNS) today announced that they have completed an agreement that will extend Westmont's reach and resources with the acquisition of 92 wells in the Chattanooga Shale region in the northern tier of Tennessee from Domestic Energy Corporation.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the value of the reserves for these latest 92 wells could amount to nearly $200 million. This is based on the company's review of other assessments and production in the immediate area. The company is currently soliciting bids from independent oil industry geologists to provide a true bankable reserve assessment and verify Westmont's estimate.
Westmont's portfolio, in addition to this most recent acquisition in the Tennessee Chattanooga Shale region, includes joint ventures developing two significant blocks in the Marcellus Shale region, including 1,800 lease acres in Western Pennsylvania and 1,650 lease acres in West Virginia. "These new Tennessee assets are an excellent fits with our existing core areas and will expand our portfolio, which is balanced in terms of geography and geology," said Glenn McQuiston, Westmont's President. "This transaction is similar to our earlier strategic steps, bringing near-term production and cash flow as well as long-term upside potential with identified exploration opportunities."
"This is a strategic step and a natural extension into the Chattanooga," said Glenn McQuiston, Westmont's President. "We have considered extending our Marcellus natural resources operations into the Chattanooga region for some time and this acquisition provides a significant beachhead for growth in the region and complements our existing strengths in both West Virginia and Pennsylvania. It's the right time because recent advances in seismic technology and continued enhancements in facilities design have reduced the risks in one of the world's oldest basins which is now showing significant renewed potential."
About Westmont Resources
Westmont Resources is an independent natural resource and development company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with principal operations in the United State. Westmont's business model emphasizes the acquisition and operation of existing producing assets, in the oil and gas industry. As new technologies expand both the exploration possibilities and production of oil and gas in the face of ever-rising demand, obtaining peak efficiency and production from existing aging wells becomes increasingly profitable. Westmont Resources is committed to significant growth as it pursues its strategy to combine and consolidate assets and companies in the oil and natural gas production and services sectors.

GeckoSystems Applauds $21B Service Robotics 2014 Forecast by MarketsandMarketsThursday 07/08/2010 5:49 AM ET - Eteligis
GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (PINKSHEETS: GCKO) (http://www.geckosystems.com/) announced today that the international market research firm, Markets and Markets, has recently forecasted $21 billion in annual sales for the global service robotics market by end of 2014.
GeckoSystems is a dynamic leader in the emerging Mobile Service Robot industry revolutionizing their development and usage with "Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security, and Service.
"We can expect to see significant growth opportunities for researchers and manufacturers as the demand for professional service robots increases with the rising cost of labor in developed countries; while the market for personal service robots will grow due to the increasing need for assisted living.However, concerns about human safety and about the current inability of robots to work efficiently in unstructured environments still form major growth challenges for the service robotics industry," notes MarketsandMarkets (M&M).
"Clearly, given the foregoing perception of international market research firms such as M&M, GeckoSystems has 'first mover' advantage due to having solved many of the issues and concerns involving human safety and mobile service robots (MSRs) working efficiently with no human control or intervention in dynamic, unstructured environments. Our ongoing world's first in home elder care robot trials gives substance to the cost effective benefit of our suite of enabling mobile service robot solutions," reflected Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems.
Service robots can be used to provide domestic aid for the elderly and disabled; serving various functions ranging from cleaning to entertainment to remote monitoring. The high cost of labor in developed countries and the increasing need for assisted living has led to the development of the service robotics market. As service robots are in greater proximity to humans, the technology involves more safety concerns over human-machine interaction. However, developments in the manufacture of intelligent and safer robots by GeckoSystems address the issues of safety, manipulation, and sensing. Thus, GeckoSystems is well prepared for the day when every home will have a robot.
M&M's report, "Global Service Robotics Market" Worth U.S. $21 Billion by 2014 may be found at:http://blog.taragana.com/pr/marketsandmarkets-global-service-robotics-market-worth-us-21-billion-by-2014-17635/ and http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/service-robotics-technologies-and-global-market-80.html
"It goes without saying that when an internationally renowned market research firm independently confirms our own forecasts as to the magnitude of the emerging service robotics industry, that we derive some degree of satisfaction that our own internal forecasts continue to be modest in their projections.The unfolding boom in service robotics worldwide and our 'first mover' position will hasten the day our stockholders enjoy the ROI they expect and deserve," concluded Spencer.
About MarketsandMarkets:
MarketsandMarkets (M&M) is a global market research and consulting company based in the U.S. They publish strategically analyzed market research reports and serve as a business intelligence partner to Fortune 500 companies across the world.

About the CareBot:
Like an automobile, mobile robots are made from steel, aluminum, plastic, and electronics, but with ten to twenty times the amount of software running. The CareBot has an aluminum frame, plastic shroud, two independently driven wheels, multiple sensor systems, microprocessors and several onboard computers connected in a local area network (LAN). The microprocessors directly interact with the sensor systems and transmit data to the onboard computers. The onboard computers each run independent, highly specialized cooperative/subsumptive artificial intelligence (AI) software programs, GeckoSavants, which interact to complete tasks in a timely, intelligent and common sense manner. GeckoSuper, GeckoNav, GeckoChat and GeckoTrak are primary GeckoSavants. GeckoNav is responsible for maneuvering, avoiding dynamic and/or static obstacles, seeking waypoints and patrolling. GeckoChat is responsible for interaction with the care-receiver such as answering questions, assisting with daily routines and reminders, and responding to other verbal commands. GeckoTrak, which is mostly transparent to the user, enables the CareBot to maintain proximity to the care-receiver using sensor fusion. The CareBot is an Internet appliance that is accessible for remote video/audio monitoring and telepresence.
GeckoSystems employs proprietary sensor fusion technologies not only in its flagship automatic self-navigation software, GeckoNav, but also in GeckoTrak, the GeckoSPIO, and GeckoOrient. GeckoTrak uses advanced sensor fusion to merge machine vision, passive infrared, and sonar to identify and/or locate the person of interest such that GeckoTrak can inform GeckoNav automatically as to the whereabouts of the designated person for continuous proximate monitoring. The GeckoSPIO, a sensor/power input/output mobile robot controller board, enables faster, more graceful self-navigation through loose crowds of moving people as in airport, bus, and train terminals, shopping centers and other public areas. GeckoOrient automatically and intelligently merges sensor data from odometry (dead reckoning), a solid-state compass and accelerometer based gyroscopes (IMUs) for enhanced orientation accuracy while errand running, patrolling, or following a designated person.
About GeckoSystems International Corporation:
Since 1997, GeckoSystems has developed a comprehensive, coherent, and sufficient suite of hardware and software inventions to enable a new type of home appliance (a personal robot) the CareBot, to be created for the mass consumer marketplace. The suite of primary inventions includes: GeckoNav, GeckoChat and GeckoTrak.
The primary market for this product is the family for use in eldercare, care for the chronically ill, and childcare. The primary distribution channel for this new home appliance is the thousands of independent personal computer retailers in the U.S. The manufacturing infrastructure for this new product category of mobile service robots is essentially the same as the personal computer industry. Several outside contract manufacturers have been identified and qualified their ability to produce up to 1,000 CareBots per month within four to six months.
The Company is market driven. At the time of founding, over twelve years ago, the Company did extensive primary market research to determine the demographic profile of the early adopters of the then proposed product line. Subsequent to, and based on that original market research, they have assembled numerous focus groups to evaluate the fit of the CareBot personal robot into the participants' lives and their expected usage. The Company has also frequently employed the Delphi market research methodology by contacting and interviewing senior executives, practitioners, and researchers knowledgeable in the area of elder care. Using this factual basis of internally performed primary and secondary market research, and third party research is the statistical substance for the Company's sales forecasts.
Not surprisingly the scientific statistical analyses applied revealed that elderly over sixty-five living alone in metropolitan areas with broadband Internet available and sufficient household incomes to support the increased costs were identified as those most likely to adopt initially. Due to the high cost of assisted living, nursing homes, etc. the payback for a CareBot is expected to be only six to eight months while keeping elderly care receivers independent, in their own long time homes, and living longer due to the comfort and safety of more frequent attention from their loved ones.
"We project the available market size in dollars for cost effective, utilitarian, multitasking eldercare personal robots in 2011 to be $74.0B, in 2012 to be $77B, in 2013 to be $80B, in 2014 to be $83.3B, and in 2015 to be $86.6B.With market penetrations of 0.03% in 2011, 0.06% in 2012, 0.22% in 2013, 0.53% in 2014, and 0.81% in 2015, we will anticipate CareBot sales, from this consumer market segment, only, of $22.0M, $44.0M, $176M, $440.2M, and $704.3M, respectively.We expect these sales despite -- and perhaps because of -- the present recession due to pent up demand for significant cost reduction in eldercare expenses," opined Spencer.
The foregoing forecasts do not include sales in non-metropolitan areas; elderly couples over 65 (only elderly living alone are in these forecasts); those chronically ill -- regardless of age -- or elderly living with their adult children.
The Company's "mobile robot solutions for safety, security and service" are appropriate not only for the consumer, but also professional healthcare, commercial security and defense markets. Professional healthcare require cost effective, timely errand running, portable telemedicine, etc. Homeland Security requires cost effective mobile robots to patrol and monitor public venues for weapons and WMD detection. Military users desire the elimination of the "man in the loop" to enable unmanned ground and air vehicles to not require constant human control and/or intervention.
The Company's business model is very much like that of an automobile manufacturer. Due to the final assembly, test, and shipping being done based on geographic and logistic realities; strategic business-to-business relationships can range from private labeling to joint manufacturing and distribution to licensing only.
Several dozen patent opportunities exist for the Company due to the many innovative and cost effective breakthroughs embodied not only in GeckoNav, GeckoChat, and GeckoTrak, but also in additional, secondary systems that include: GeckoOrient, GeckoMotorController, the GeckoTactileShroud, the CompoundedSensorArray, and the GeckoSPIO.
The present senior management at GeckoSystems has over thirty-five years' experience in consumer electronics sales and marketing and product development. Senior managers have been identified for the areas of manufacturing, marketing, sales, and finance.
While GeckoSystems has been in the Development Stage, the Company has accumulated losses to date in excess of six million dollars. In contrast, the Japanese government has spent one hundred million dollars in grants (to Sanyo, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC, etc.) over the same time period to develop personal robots for their eldercare crisis, yet no viable solutions have been developed.
GeckoSystems is the first mobile robot developer in the world to begin actual in-home eldercare evaluation trials.
What Does a CareBot Do for the Care Giver?
The short answer is that it decreases the difficulty and stress for the caregiver that needs to watch over Grandma, Mom, or other family members most, if not much, of the time day in and day out due to concerns about their well being, safety, and security.
But, first let's look at some other labor saving, automatic home appliances most of us use routinely.For example, needing to do two or more necessary chores and/or activities at the same time, like laundering clothes and preparing supper.
The automatic washing machine needs no human intervention after the dirty clothes are placed in the washer, the laundry powder poured in, and the desired wash cycle set. Then, this labor saving appliance runs automatically until the washed clothes are ready to be placed in another labor saving home appliance, the automatic clothes dryer. While the clothes are being washed and/or dried, the caregiver prepares supper using several time saving home appliances like the microwave oven, "crock" pot, blender, and conventional stove, with possible convection oven capabilities.
After supper, the dirty pots, pans, and dishes are placed in the automatic dishwasher to be washed and dried while the family retires to the den to watch TV, and/or the kids to do homework.Later, perhaps after the kids have gone to bed, the caregiver may then have the time to fold, sort, and put up the now freshly laundered clothes.
So what does a CareBot do for the caregiver? It is a new type of labor saving, time management automatic home appliance.
For example, the care giver frequently feels time stress when they need to go shopping for 2 or 3 hours, and are uncomfortable when they have to be away for more than an hour or so. Time stress is much worse for the caregiver with a frail elderly parent that must be reminded to take medications at certain times of the day.How can the caregiver be away for 3-4 hours when Grandma must take her prescribed medication every 2 or 3 hours?If the caregiver is trapped in traffic for an hour or two beyond the 2 or 3 they expected to be gone, this "time stress" can be very difficult for the caregiver to moderate.
Not infrequently, the primary caregiver has a 24 hour, 7 days a week responsibility.After weeks and weeks of this sometimes tedious, if not onerous routine, how does the caregiver get a "day off?"To bring in an outsider is expensive (easily $75-125 per day for just 8 hours) and there is the concern that medication will be missed or the care receiver have an accident requiring immediate assistance by the caregiver, or someone they must designate. And the care receiver may be very resistant to a "stranger" coming in to her home and "running things."
So what is it worth for a care receiver to have an automatic system to help take care of Grandma?Just 3 or 4 days a month "off" on a daylong shopping trip, a visit with friends, or just take in a movie would cost $225-500 per month.And that scenario assumes that Grandma is willing to be taken care of by a "stranger" during those needed and appropriate days off.
So perhaps, an automatic caregiver, a CareBot, might be pretty handy, and potentially very cost effective from the primary caregiver's perspective.
What Does a CareBot Do for the Care Receiver?
It's a new kind of companion that always stays close to them enabling family and friends to care for them from afar. It tells them jokes, retells family anecdotes, reminds them to take medication, reminds them that family is coming over soon (or not at all), recites Bible verses, plays favorite songs and/or other music.It alerts them when unexpected visitors, or intruders are present.It notifies designated caregivers when a potentially harmful event has occurred, such as a fall, fire in the home, or simply been not found by the CareBot for too long. It responds to calls for help and notifies those that the caregiver determined should be immediately notified when any predetermined adverse event occurs.
The family can customize the personality of the CareBot.The voice's cadence can be fast or slow.The intonation can be breathy, or abrupt. The voice's volume can range from very loud to very soft. The response phrases from the CareBot for recognized words and phrases can be colloquial and/or unique to the family's own heritage. The personality can range from brassy to timid depending on how the care giver, and others appropriate, chooses it to be.
Generally, the care receiver is pleased at the prospect of family being able to drop in for a "virtual visit" using the onboard webcam and video monitor for at home "video conferencing."The care receiver may feel much more needed and appreciated when their far flung family and friends can "look in" on them anywhere in the world where they can get broadband internet access and simply chat for a bit.
Why is Grandma really interested in a CareBot?She wants to stay in her home, or her family's home, as long as she possibly can.What's that worth?Priceless.Or, an average nursing home is $5,000 per month for an environment that is too often the beginning of a spiral downward in the care receiver's health.That's probably $2-3K more per month for them to be placed where they really don't want to be. Financial payback on a CareBot?Less than a year.Emotional payback for the family to have this new automatic care giver?Nearly instantaneous.

Kinti Mining Limited (KMLD) Announces Joint Venture with Samarium Group Holding Involving Reserves of Up to 40 million Pounds of Recoverable Uranium with a Potential Valuation of $2.1 Billion dollars
Kinti Mining Limited (OTC: KMLD.PK) is pleased to announce the signing of a joint venture agreement with Samarium Group Holding, of Vancouver, Canada. The new venture, called Kinti Energy Limited, will have an overriding focus on uncovering and assembling undervalued uranium resource properties in Zambia, a region that has turned into a hotbed of uranium exploration because of the resurgent global interest in nuclear power.
Samarium Group is a leader in private and public investments in small and mid cap companies and as such will help raise the investment capital required to sustain the uranium exploration activities conducted by Kinti Mining. Preliminary budget estimates for exploration activities are approaching thirty million USD ($30,000,000 USD).
Kinti Energy is preparing a three year operational plan and budget to acquire and explore African properties with indicated uranium mineral resources. Zambia has enacted new mining legislation that has resulted in a historic opportunity for mineral exploration and mining companies to acquire tenements with significant mineral resources. Kinti and its partners have submitted several applications to the Zambian Ministry of Mines for such uranium tenements. It expects to develop at least two of its exploration projects to the bank feasibility stage after proving reserves of up to 40 million pounds of recoverable uranium with a potential valuation of $2.1 Billion dollars as per the Uranium Spot price for January 5, 2009.
About Kinti Mining Limited
Kinti Mining Limited, trading symbol (OTC: KMLD.PK), (16.7 Million shares issued), is a mineral exploration company with an overriding focus on uncovering and assembling undervalued resource properties or companies. With such inventories it expects to build stakeholder wealth through the public markets, along with being able to offer, other public companies, properties on a wholesale basis in exchange for a combination of company stock and/or cash.
Some of the information included in this press release and other documents by Kinti Mining Limited (“KINTI”) may contain forward looking statements. Such statements are based on KINTI's current beliefs and expectations about future events and include statements that reflect management's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations and intentions with respect to KINTI's financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including statements relating to KINTI's business strategy and current and future development plans. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections include, among others, precious metals prices, unanticipated grade, geological, metallurgical, processing or other problems, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, economic and market conditions, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this press release or any other filings submitted by KINTI. In addition, acquired royalty interests on certain projects are subject to risks associated with conducting business in a foreign country, including application of foreign laws to contract and other disputes, foreign environmental laws and enforcement and uncertain political and economic environments. Most of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to predict or control. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made herein.
