Amy will be in my prayers.
In my prayers SMART MONEY.
Great news, will still be in my prayers.
Your aunt will be in my prayers.
Sydney will be in my prayers.
Both on my prayer list. Addictions, seem to be two or more in every family and very difficult to break.
We live in extremely difficult and trying times. If Jesus is not your one and only life support system, the alternatives can be devastating.
"He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming quickly."
Amen
Even so, come, Lord Jesus
She will be in my prayers tonight.
OEM (original equipment manufacturer)
This confusing term has two meanings:
1) Originally, an OEM (original equipment manufacturer)REG was a company that supplied equipment to other companies to resell or incorporate into another product using the reseller's brand name. For example, a maker of refrigerators like Frigidaire might sell its refrigerators to a retailer like Sears to resell under a brand name owned by Sears. A number of companies, both equipment suppliers and equipment resellers, still use this meaning.
2) More recently, OEM is used to refer to the company that acquires a product or component and reuses or incorporates it into a new product with its own brand name.
Either definition works for me, just as long as it results in HUGE sales numbers.
I use ScotiaBank for pink sheets and other USA trades. No problem so far. Most, 90%, of trades are Canadian for me and just love CIBC rates. Heard TD Webroker is OK for USA trades.
Thanks for the update Ranb2khz. Your mothers faith and will must be strong. Will continue in prayer.

"It is instead, an opportunity to formalize commercial agreements"
This is also the statement that got my attention. This plus the New Management Team's background, their association with China's industry and the Water Treatment Technology behind Eco Safe's product line. Until we see something on paper re sales we are still in the speculation stage, BUT, I believe we are as close now to something big as we have ever been. I have added some share's but am now in a "wait and see".
Cautiously Optimistic!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I agree. This PLANNED trip is more than a visual of potential sales.
Solid Inroads in the US prompt Eco Safe’s Expansion to China
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 18)
From October 28th to November 6th, Eco Safe’s leadership will be visiting China. Meetings with members of the Central Government of the Popular Republic of China, and with members of the Local Governments of the four major Chinese cities, are milestones in an intensive program that also includes gatherings with the leadership of some of the most prestigious Chinese corporations, appearances in the national and local media, and several other relevant social and business events. For Eco Safe this is not an exploratory business mission. It is instead, an opportunity to formalize commercial agreements with significant impact on Eco Safe’s overall sales.
Seems like this NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM has done and is doing a lot of work behind the scenes. Actually the NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM has come in at just the right time;
1) Revolutionary water technology.
2) Patented or patent pending product line.
3) Huge market potential.
4) Growing world market for product line.
5) Cash Rich Countries requesting proven water treatment technologies.
6) Need for home and small business application of technology.
7) Eco Safe has a proven product line.
8) Eco Safe products target the NEW middle class and growing small business.
9) Eco Safe Hazmat has huge application for police, first responders, health care, industrial first aid stations, etc.
Eco Safe has been given a second chance with this New Management Team and with the new overseas market they are about to test. From all that has been written about the need for water treatment facilities, especially China and India, it appears the bulk of the emphasis has been on large commercial applications such as sewage treatment, desalination and large industrial water treatment. There is a huge need for the product line that Eco Safe will market.
Singapore's water companies aim to quench China's $850 billion thirst
By Eveline Danubrata
SINGAPORE | Sun Jun 2, 2013 5:32pm EDT
(Reuters) - Water companies in Singapore are attracting big-name investors as they profit from exporting their expertise to China, which plans to spend $850 billion over the next decade to improve its scarce and polluted water supplies.
Singapore is a hub for water technology because of its own concerns about water security. With few domestic freshwater resources of its own, the city-state has been trying to reduce its reliance on imports from neighboring Malaysia, where politicians have in the past threatened to turn off the taps.
Since 2006, the number of companies in Singapore's water sector has doubled to about 100 and S$470 million ($371.2 million) has been committed to fund water research, government data shows. Over the same period, Singapore-based water companies secured more than 100 international projects worth close to S$9 billion.
Singapore has been experimenting with reservoirs, recycled water known as NEWater, and desalination as it aims to become self-sufficient in water by 2061, when a water supply agreement with Malaysia expires.
"Singapore should be one of the world's dominant players in water. It should be the Silicon Valley of water," said Jim Rogers, who co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros and owns shares of Singapore's biggest listed water treatment company, Hyflux Ltd (HYFL.SI).
Hyflux, which has a market capitalization of S$1.2 billion, signed two agreements in April for projects in China. The company is known for its membrane technology used for ultrafiltration, a process to separate certain dirty or harmful particles in water.
Hyflux's chief executive, Olivia Lum, is the biggest shareholder with 32.4 percent as of March, while Matthews International Capital Management LLC and Mondrian Investment Partners Ltd have a combined 14.2 percent of deemed interest, according to its latest annual report.
U.S. private equity firm KKR & Co LP (KKR.N) invested $40 million in United Envirotech Ltd (UNIT.SI) earlier this year after subscribing to $113.8 million of its convertible bonds in 2011.
The company is listed and based in Singapore, but most of its operations are in China, where it derives more than 90 percent of its revenue. It designs and builds water treatment plants, on top of providing services to China's chemical, petrochemical and industrial park sectors, all of which are heavy water users.
United Envirotech, whose "membrane bioreactor technology" combines membrane separation with biological wastewater treatment, said on May 28 its net profit for the full year ended March 2013 had nearly tripled from a year earlier.
The company is in talks with some investors who have expressed interest in buying a stake, a spokeswoman said, adding that Singapore is attractive to the firm because of its status as a financial centre and its ongoing growth as a "global hydrohub".
"The root of the whole commitment to grow the water industry lies with the Singapore water story," said Goh Chee Kiong, executive director of cleantech at Singapore's Economic Development Board. "Singapore has been very vulnerable when it comes to water for many decades, therefore we view water as a strategic resource and asset."
ON THE RADAR
With the world's population hovering at around 7 billion, investors are betting on soaring demand for clean water not just for people, but also to help fuel industries ranging from semiconductors and pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals and agriculture.
"Water treatment companies have not been on the radar for a while, but now investors are increasingly looking at companies that are undervalued or have yet to realize their potential," said Carey Wong, an analyst at OCBC Investment Research.
In the last 12 months, the Thomson Reuters Global Water and Other Utilities Index .TRXFLDGLPUWATR has jumped around 20 percent.
In Singapore, shares of United Envirotech have surged more than 170 percent over the same period, outperforming the 19 percent gain in the benchmark Straits Times Index .FTSTI. SIIC Environment Holdings Ltd (SIIC.SI), Memstar Technology Ltd (MEMS.SI) and HanKore Environment Tech Group Ltd (HETG.SI) have risen in the range of 33-67 percent.
However, Hyflux shares have underperformed the index in the past year. CIMB Research said in a report that the company's project win rate has to accelerate so its share price can pick up. Its valuation also appears "fairly priced" compared to its major Asian peers, CIMB said.
Moya Asia Ltd (MOYA.SI) and Sound Global Ltd (SOGL.SI), both of which reported weak quarterly earnings recently, have lagged the index too.
Conglomerates Sembcorp Industries Ltd (SCIL.SI) and Keppel Corp Ltd (KPLM.SI) also have some water-related businesses.
CHINA BOUND
Many companies have their sights set on China where, despite spending 700 billion yuan ($114 billion) on water infrastructure over the five years to 2010, much of the water remains undrinkable, a situation that has led to mounting discontent across the country.
China's environment ministry said 43 percent of the locations it was monitoring in 2011 contained water not fit even for human contact.
United Envirotech said stricter discharge limits imposed by the Chinese government and water shortages in various parts of the country are pushing up demand for water treatment services.
Chinese players like China Everbright International Ltd (0257.HK) and Beijing Enterprises Water Group Ltd (0371.HK) may put up a tough fight, especially for the lower-end water treatment projects, due to their ability to keep costs down and their local network, said DBS Vickers analyst Tan Ai Teng.
Scinor Water Ltd recently received financing from CLSA Capital Partners' Clean Resources Asia Growth Fund and venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to expand the Chinese company's membrane manufacturing capacity and products.
"There are going to be huge fortunes made in China on water because China has a staggering water problem and they know it. They are spending a lot of money to solve it," said Rogers.

China
"downstreaminder" my understanding,- a financial dude who is focused on future (downstream) sales and profits???????
Thanks for the comments, gives me lots to research.
Will do. Sorry to hear surgery.
Well said. I play mostly Canadian mining stocks and by far the most significant criteria I use on whether to buy a stock or not to buy is MANAGEMENT. Next obviously is product.
I had talked many times to both Michael and Larry and other than being briefly excited about the Hazmat possibilities, as PayPV has pointed out, no repeat sales had me pull back on the company.
The recent change in management has recently made me re-consider and lately I have begun to buy a few shares when they come to me cheap to build a position.
This management team looks first class and I feel if anyone can pull off a major China deal these are the guys that can do it. As has been pointed out, these gentlemen are already successful and they have nothing to gain by a promoting a nickel and dime company.
Still buying/adding and will continue to watch how this progresses.
PS Keep posting downstreaminder as sometimes it is the background noise that is the most revealing - positive or negative. Thanks

Forgot to mention that you also have a twitter page that has 51 followers, eco safe usa. Has not been used for some time but may be a useful tool now.
Thanks Paulo, have submitted email and am looking forward to any/all updates.
Why the different email address than the one on the web site;

Strange message and request ??????????????????
Great looking website with a determined looking team. No mention of Hazmat, but wondering if that is because it is part of Home Land Security and First Responders (Fire Dept. Police, Hazmat Teams, Paramedics, FEMA, Military, Etc.)??? Also share structure, though from August 29, 2012, looks respectable for a company with this potential. Looking forward to updates and am excited again as I still own a basket full from as early as 2006. Maybe pay back time!!!!!
Never mind, just got the new website. Thanks.
I am still getting the same old website with the red/green peppers and the same old management team. They must have gone back to the old website for now.
Eco-Safe Systems USA website down!!!!!!!!!
From a past PR
Hazmat System valued at $20,000 to $30,000 per unit.
Hazmat System is patented as of Nov. 2012.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Nov. 5) –Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ESFS) is pleased to announce a substantial price reduction on its Hazmat System for use in the Hurricane Sandy recovery.

To order the Hazmat system, please contact our National Director of Sales, Larry LaVerne, at 800-649-1434.
2 Timothy 3: 1-5
1) But know this that in the last days perilous times will come;
2) For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
3) unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4) traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5) having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.
What happened to Stoll Metalcraft. Last time I talked to Michael they were still using them.
Eco-Safe Prepares for Rapid Expansion with Stoll Metalcraft, Inc.
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 24) - Eco-Safe Systems USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ESFS) is pleased to announce finalizing negotiations with Stoll Metalcraft, Inc. as a fulfillment company for Eco-Safe's largest clients.
Michael Elliot, President of Eco-Safe, stated, "With Eco-Safe having more than 100 customers in 11 states and growing, and over $100,000 in current orders, we are delighted to announce Stoll Metalcraft, Inc. as our manufacturing fulfillment company.

Elliot continued, "Stoll occupies a 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Valencia, California, and is ISO 9001 certified. After extensive testing of short runs on our various ozone disinfection systems, it was clear Stoll is a perfect fit for our expansion needs. From engineering to fabrication and drop-shipping, Stoll meets all our requirements for precision assembly and quality control in order fulfillment. We have just received our latest shipment of R-1000 units and the quality is flawless."
All will be in my prayers.
Thanks Ranb2khz.
J.R. and Bonnie you are in my prayers.
In my prayers.
Your Mom in my prayers.
In my prayers for spiritual and physical healing. We are indeed in difficult times.
"Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." Rev. 12:12
"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few."
Thanks Ranb2khz. Our Saviour is with her and she with Him.
Keema in my prayers.
"But You, O God the Lord,
Deal with me for Your Name's sake;
Because your mercy is good, deliver me.
For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me."
Psalm 109:21-22
Special prayers for Keema and her unborn child.
Thanks Ranb2khz for the update. Will keep Lana in my prayers.
Will do Sheepdog4God.
Thanks pleepleus. When I call Michael the first thing I talk about is the patents. I know Michael is also disappointed with the length of time for the patents to be approved, but as he once told me they have a top notch patent lawyer on these. Till then we wait.
On your comments re a take over offer, Michael also was of the opinion that one company in particular is very interest in the marketing achievements and the technical progress that ESFS has accomplished. As a matter of fact, my last conversation with Michael, Michael was the one who brought up the buy out company and the up comming meeting. Again though, the buy out company will want to see final patents.
Anyway, I plan to call Michael back in another week. He was still very positive about the future of ESFS.
Looking foreward to your conversation with Paul Doucette and whether there was any mention re the patents. To me there is alot hinging on the final ownership of the product patents. Michael has told me they are working on obtaining the final product patents and have received some information from the government, but nothing final.
Like the name, Ayden in my thoughts and prayers.
Had a short talk with Michael today in an effort to get some type of idea of upcoming PR,s re sales.
1) A regional Fire Department North California is looking at the Hazmat unit. Not really anything to report re sales.
2) No patents have yet been received from the government as final.
3) Yes, there has been two very large sales but Michael is not at liberty to announce or discuss. Michael and company is working to get the companies involved to allow some form of a Press Release.
4) Still working with their Mid East Company but nothing as yet to report to shareholders.
BEST NEWS OF ALL
5) The company that is interested in buying ESFS will meet with ESFS management late next week for further discussions.
All in all still hope.
1) - looks like two large sales have taken place and
2) - appears the company interested in a ESFS buyout is still interested.
