$SURG Surge Holdings Announces Launch of SurgePays™ Network Installations with AATAC
Initial Deployment Underway to Over 700 Independent Retail Stores in Florida
Memphis, TN, July 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surge Holdings, Inc. (“Surge”) (SURG), developer of the SurgePays™ Network for independent retailers, today announced that it has successfully launched the SurgePays™ Retail Blockchain Network within the first retail locations. The launch is being conducted through Surge’s partnership with AATAC, one of the nation’s largest private trade associations spanning over 110,000 stores across the United States. SurgePays™ is expected to go live in over 700 AATAC-affiliated stores in the Tampa region over the next 30 days. SurgePays™ is a first of its kind fintech network connecting independent retailers, manufacturers, and consumers. As previously announced, the Company plans to roll out the SurgePays™ platform through the AATAC network across an initial target of 40,000 independent retail locations nationwide, starting with markets in Florida, followed by Virginia and Texas.
Brian Cox, Chairman and CEO of Surge Holdings, commented, “We have now entered the activation phase of the rollout, which includes on-boarding stores and product delivery. The formal launch of our SurgePays™ Network with AATAC marks a major milestone for the company. For a rollout of this magnitude, we have worked tirelessly for months on the planning, product logistics, training, in store fixtures, and enrollment software. AATAC has been a tremendous resource providing data and knowledge to enable us to refine the onboarding and contract process. AATAC’s help has resulted in an enhanced 2.0 version of our SurgePays™ software as well as a SurgePhone point-of-sale display to showcase the SurgePhone and SIM Card products. While this additional work has taken time, I am confident that the investment will reap great rewards in both top line revenue, as well as faster onboarding of additional retail stores. Following the initial deployment phase, our plan is to incorporate feedback and make any necessary adjustments to enhance efficiency and improve the user experience. Our goal is to increase the amount of installations over the next 2-3 months, with the ultimate goal to install the system in at least 3,000-4,000 locations per month. We believe that we are on track to achieve our previously stated goal of installing the system in approximately 40,000 locations over the next twelve months.”
“We are extremely encouraged by feedback from both retailers and manufacturers, as we believe the SurgePays™ Network has the potential to transform the retail supply chain by eliminating middle-men distributors. The system empowers independent stores to select, order, and fulfill delivery of wholesale goods nationwide. At the same time, we believe the system enables manufacturers to efficiently achieve mass distribution through a cost-effective nationwide platform.”
“In addition to connecting retailers and manufacturers through the network, the network supports value added products such as SurgePhone™ Wireless, the SurgePays™ Visa® prepaid card, and a variety of consumer products. By offering aggressive wholesale pricing, we can offer retailers a new source of high margin revenue, thereby enhancing the value and profitability of our network.”

$NGTF the fast-growing ice cream company addressing America’s
$50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, announced today that Nightfood
was featured in the July issue of Oprah Magazine, the latest instance in a
long series of prominent coverage by major consumer media outlets.
An image of a pint of Nightfood’s popular Cherry Eclipse flavor, along with a
big scoop of the ice cream, is prominently featured on Page 74. The editorial
recommended that people who prefer ice cream at night should try Nightfood as
one of Oprah’s favorite “sleep-friendly” finds.
“Over 25 years in PR has taught me that you can’t fake enthusiasm for a
product – this kind of earned publicity is only achievable if you have a
quality product that is new and interesting. The recent interest and coverage
by some of the major outlets is an affirmation of fascination and interest in
Nightfood Ice Cream as well as proof that consumers are excited,” commented
Tim Sullivan, founder of Nightfood’s PR firm T3 Shamrock Media. “What a great
way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! With Nightfood’s foray into custom
flavors, we expect the launch of our celebrity flavors in a couple of months
to bring a whole new wave of media interest.”
In the “Refresh” Section of the July issue, Oprah Magazine featured a round-up
of products to help readers have better nights. Included with Nightfood among
the favorites were various other sleep friendly items such as moisture-wicking
pajamas, a dream journal, and jasmine-scented eye masks.
“We are surprised and flattered to be selected for inclusion in such an
influential and taste making publication as Oprah magazine. Along with recent
features in The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The Washington Post, it
all comes back to the fact that we’re doing something very important for the
consumer,” added Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “People just cannot hear the
phrase ‘sleep-friendly ice cream’ without stopping dead in their tracks.
Having a product that captures the imagination of the everyday consumer
injects powerful leverage into everything we do. From earned publicity to
advertising to influencer partnerships, all the way to driving consumer trial
and revenue growth, our launch continues to gain tremendous momentum.”
Nightfood recently announced major celebrity partnerships with Michael
Clifford, lead guitarist of award-winning, multi-platinum band 5 Seconds of
Summer, and NFL all-world future Hall of Fame cornerback Richard Sherman.
Within six months of manufacture of the first pint of Nightfood ice cream, the
brand has secured distribution in four of the top-50 supermarket chains in the
United States, including 2 of the top-10.
Management projects profitability in Q4 of 2019 on revenues of greater than $3
million as the brand continues to expand its distribution footprint across the
country through major supermarkets, independent retailers, and alternative
retail distribution channels.

$SMME SmartMetric Biometric Credit Cards the Next Big Thing for the Banking Industry
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SmartMetric, Inc. (SMME) According to independent consumer research contracted by SmartMetric, 80% of U.S. cardholders are seriously concerned about credit card and identity theft, and 67% say they wouldn’t mind paying for biometric cards.
Research by Visa is in line with SmartMetric’s research.
More than 65% of consumers are already familiar with biometrics
86% are interested in using biometrics to verify identities or make payments
70% believe that biometrics are easier than using passwords or PINs
The SmartMetric biometric card solution for Banks provides a huge leap forward in credit card security moving security away from PINs and signatures to the vastly stronger biometric fingerprint of the card user.
Built inside the SmartMetric biometric card is a fully functional fingerprint scanner. The scanner along with the powerful internal ARM Cortex processor stores the card holders’ fingerprint inside the card. At no time does the persons fingerprint ever leave the card and it doesn’t require the Bank to hold the card holders’ fingerprint.
Embedding the card holders’ fingerprint into their biometric credit card is as easy as storing your fingerprint on your mobile phone. When the card user receives their card from their Bank they simply touch the square sensor on the cards surface four times and thereafter the users fingerprint is permanently stored inside the card. From now on the card will only work in conjunction with the card holder touching the cards little square sensor on the top of the card.
“It was important for us to ensure that our card was absolutely frictionless for the card user in that it didn’t add time to but in fact speeded up the card payment experience at the checkout or ATM. Our biometric card allows for the doing away of PINs altogether. The fingerprint scan is done in less than a quarter of a second thereby turning on the card and authenticating the user in less then time it takes to reach across to the payment terminal or ATM. Instant, seamless and secure are the hallmarks of our biometric card solution,” said today SmartMetric’s President and CEO, Chaya Hendrick.
SmartMetric has incorporated the ADVANTIS payments chip and operating system into its Biometric Card. This allows ADVANTIS to now offer arguably the best and most advanced biometric credit and debit card solution to it’s more than 500 Banking organizations around the world. In excess of 1.4 Billion cards have now been issued by Banks using the ADVANTIS payments chip and operating system.
According to industry data there are now more than 7 Billion chip-based payment cards issued globally.
SmartMetric is a USA based company with sales and marketing partnerships in Latin America, Europe the United Stated. Engineering of the biometric card electronics is done in-house and is the owned intellectual property of the company. SmartMetric has various patents pending and has five significant strategic issued patents.
“According to Goode Intelligence, a research company based in London, they have predicted more than 500 Million payment cards will be “biometric fingerprint cards” 2024. That is less than five years. As the leader in the biometric card space, SmartMetric believes it is in a very strong position to dominate this new biometric technology card market.”

$BTDG The Iron Tiger Fight Series will be back and Grove City, Ohio will play host to the promotion as the 88th event has been slotted for July 27th. https://www.bluegrassmma.com/2019/07/iron-tiger-fight-series-heads-to-grove-city-for-the-first-time/
In July, Cemtrex Inc (NASDAQ: $CETX) announced it will be providing an augmented reality experience for seven luxury brands housed under the Richemont umbrella: Arcadium designed for Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin and IWC Shaffhausen.
AR is one angle of attack for brands to increases sales to people short on time.
Online Influencers Lead The Way
Another trend involves luxury shoppers following a mixed online/offline journey and looking for fashion inspiration from social media influencers.
This means the luxury shopper journey has been completely transformed into a virtual experience for a new generation. Many luxury brands have been cultivating a digital presence in order to build brand loyalty.
McKinsey’s research suggests that currently available, at-scale technology could help automate more than 55% of tasks in a classic grocery store.
“This automation would reduce selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs; enhance customer and employee experience; and free up funds to fuel growth elsewhere. Furthermore, research from the McKinsey Global Institute has shown that the retail industry could reap global benefits from AI worth $400 billion to $800 billion — more than any other industry.”
The consumer embrace of digital media has made retail competition more intense, as savvy upstart brands can now quickly gain a foothold online, even bypassing traditional retail channels.
Luxury IPOs
The secondhand fashion platform RealReal recently began trading on Nasdaq.
RealReal identified a niche in the market in which shoppers were eager to buy and sell used clothing and accessories from high-end brands such as Louis Vuitton.

$NGTF LATEST NEWS : ~ Nightfood® Sleep-Friendly Ice Cream Featured in Oprah Magazine July Issue
http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/07/22/1885744/0/en/Nightfood-Sleep-Friendly-Ice-Cream-Featured-in-Oprah-Magazine-July-Issue.html
$NGTF HUGE NEWS OUT ~ Nightfood® Sleep-Friendly Ice Cream Featured in Oprah Magazine July Issue
TARRYTOWN, NY, July 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the fast-growing ice cream company addressing America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, announced today that Nightfood was featured in the July issue of Oprah Magazine, the latest instance in a long series of prominent coverage by major consumer media outlets.
An image of a pint of Nightfood’s popular Cherry Eclipse flavor, along with a big scoop of the ice cream, is prominently featured on Page 74. The editorial recommended that people who prefer ice cream at night should try Nightfood as one of Oprah’s favorite “sleep-friendly” finds.
“Over 25 years in PR has taught me that you can’t fake enthusiasm for a product – this kind of earned publicity is only achievable if you have a quality product that is new and interesting. The recent interest and coverage by some of the major outlets is an affirmation of fascination and interest in Nightfood Ice Cream as well as proof that consumers are excited,” commented Tim Sullivan, founder of Nightfood’s PR firm T3 Shamrock Media. “What a great way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! With Nightfood’s foray into custom flavors, we expect the launch of our celebrity flavors in a couple of months to bring a whole new wave of media interest.”
In the “Refresh” Section of the July issue, Oprah Magazine featured a round-up of products to help readers have better nights. Included with Nightfood among the favorites were various other sleep friendly items such as moisture-wicking pajamas, a dream journal, and jasmine-scented eye masks.
“We are surprised and flattered to be selected for inclusion in such an influential and taste making publication as Oprah magazine. Along with recent features in The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and The Washington Post, it all comes back to the fact that we’re doing something very important for the consumer,” added Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “People just cannot hear the phrase ‘sleep-friendly ice cream’ without stopping dead in their tracks. Having a product that captures the imagination of the everyday consumer injects powerful leverage into everything we do. From earned publicity to advertising to influencer partnerships, all the way to driving consumer trial and revenue growth, our launch continues to gain tremendous momentum.”
Nightfood recently announced major celebrity partnerships with Michael Clifford, lead guitarist of award-winning, multi-platinum band 5 Seconds of Summer, and NFL all-world future Hall of Fame cornerback Richard Sherman. Within six months of manufacture of the first pint of Nightfood ice cream, the brand has secured distribution in four of the top-50 supermarket chains in the United States, including 2 of the top-10.
Management projects profitability in Q4 of 2019 on revenues of greater than $3 million as the brand continues to expand its distribution footprint across the country through major supermarkets, independent retailers, and alternative retail distribution channels.

On Feb 8, 2019, it was announced that Nightfood ice cream won the 2019 Product of the Year award in the ice cream category in a Kantar survey of over 40,000 consumers. On June 27, 2019, Nightfood announced it had won Best New Ice Cream in the 2019 World Dairy Innovation Awards.
With the overwhelming majority of at-home ice cream consumption occurring in the hours before bed, Nightfood believes its sleep-friendly nighttime ice cream, formulated by sleep and nutrition experts, is the next evolution in the significant better-for-you ice cream category.
Market research giant Mintel identified nighttime specific food and beverages as one of their most “compelling and category changing” trends for the coming years

$MFST ON ALERT Medifirst Solutions Company Update
Freehold, NJ, July 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- MEDIFIRST
SOLUTIONS, INC. (OTC: MFST) (the “Company” or “Medifirst”), a provider of
innovative laser technology with its FDA 510(k) cleared Infrared Time Machine
TTML-8102000 Laser Thermal Therapeutic Device and a provider of Specialty
Pharmacy Drug Consulting Services and Distributor of USA Premium Hemp and CBD
products, is pleased to provide a company update.
Medifirst Solutions previously announced that they have been approved for
credit card processing for its USA Premium CBD & Hemp products division. The
CBD and Hemp products include a 500mg oil, 1000mg oil and a premium 6000mg
oil. In addition to the oils, also called tinctures, the company is selling
CBD and Hemp Mints.
We are pleased to announce that we anticipate going live and rolling out our
products within the next two weeks online at www.usapremiumcbd.com as well as
several additional satellite websites to be announced. In addition, we plan to
launch online sales for our Hemp products to be available on Amazon.com.
Commented CEO Bruce J. Schoengood, “We are very excited to be launching our
CBD line of oils and mints and we believe we have outstanding quality products
all backed up by independent lab testing. In additional to our current line of
oils and mints, the company plans to develop and distribute its own line of
cosmetic CBD products, several new CBD liquid products and several creams and
oils for pain.” The Company plans on announcing further details in the
upcoming days and weeks.
Recent industry projections forecast the CBD market to hit 16 billion dollars
by 2025. Continues Schoengood, “This industry is very young and there is great
interest in CBD and Hemp products. Our mission is to develop and market high
quality products that consumers can trust and all backed up by independent lab
testing. We believe that adding high quality and some unique CBD and Hemp
products to our product line is a great compliment to our therapeutic Infrared
Time Machine Laser used for helping people who suffer from pain and
inflammation.”
Regarding our Laser Division, Medifirst is pleased to announce that company
representatives are currently in China performing laser tests and trial
treatments for a healthcare group that plans to open over 1,000 pain centers
across the country. In China, there is a great demand for all natural and
drug-free solutions to both chronic and everyday pain and we believe our FDA
cleared Time Machine 810nm Infrared laser can provide a useful and effective
tool for healthcare professionals. At this time, there is no guarantee of a
final agreement and we will announce further updates as we progress.
Medifirst is also pleased to announce a possible new expansion and direction
for our Therapeutic Laser. Although there are many applications and protocols
for laser as related to pain and inflammation, we were most excited by the
recent application of Photobiomodulation (PBM) to treat a side effect of
cancer therapy called Oral Mucositis. This is an area that presents very a
promising usage of our 810nm Laser as patients often develop painful or
debilitating ulcers in the soft tissues within the oral cavity. According to
industry statistics, Oral Mucositis affects roughly 400,000 patients annually
in the United States, affecting their cheeks, lips, gums, inner cavity and
tonsilary region which includes all of the soft tissues. Treatment options
today are rather limited. Patients are usually given pain medication and/or
antiseptic mouthwash. Beyond that, there's not much doctors can do for the
painful condition that, at advanced stages, can inhibit a patient's ability to
eat and speak. We believe that laser therapy can be effective in treating Oral
Mucositis and the Company is working with industry professionals to advance
and explore using laser technology for this condition. Medifirst anticipates
further updates and announcements in the upcoming days and weeks to the above
mentions updates as well to our Specialty Pharma Consulting division.

$SURG Surge Holdings Announces Launch of SurgePays™ Network Installations with AATAC
Initial Deployment Underway to Over 700 Independent Retail Stores in Florida
Memphis, TN, July 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Surge Holdings, Inc. (“Surge”) (SURG), developer of the SurgePays™ Network for independent retailers, today announced that it has successfully launched the SurgePays™ Retail Blockchain Network within the first retail locations. The launch is being conducted through Surge’s partnership with AATAC, one of the nation’s largest private trade associations spanning over 110,000 stores across the United States. SurgePays™ is expected to go live in over 700 AATAC-affiliated stores in the Tampa region over the next 30 days. SurgePays™ is a first of its kind fintech network connecting independent retailers, manufacturers, and consumers. As previously announced, the Company plans to roll out the SurgePays™ platform through the AATAC network across an initial target of 40,000 independent retail locations nationwide, starting with markets in Florida, followed by Virginia and Texas.
Brian Cox, Chairman and CEO of Surge Holdings, commented, “We have now entered the activation phase of the rollout, which includes on-boarding stores and product delivery. The formal launch of our SurgePays™ Network with AATAC marks a major milestone for the company. For a rollout of this magnitude, we have worked tirelessly for months on the planning, product logistics, training, in store fixtures, and enrollment software. AATAC has been a tremendous resource providing data and knowledge to enable us to refine the onboarding and contract process. AATAC’s help has resulted in an enhanced 2.0 version of our SurgePays™ software as well as a SurgePhone point-of-sale display to showcase the SurgePhone and SIM Card products. While this additional work has taken time, I am confident that the investment will reap great rewards in both top line revenue, as well as faster onboarding of additional retail stores. Following the initial deployment phase, our plan is to incorporate feedback and make any necessary adjustments to enhance efficiency and improve the user experience. Our goal is to increase the amount of installations over the next 2-3 months, with the ultimate goal to install the system in at least 3,000-4,000 locations per month. We believe that we are on track to achieve our previously stated goal of installing the system in approximately 40,000 locations over the next twelve months.”
“We are extremely encouraged by feedback from both retailers and manufacturers, as we believe the SurgePays™ Network has the potential to transform the retail supply chain by eliminating middle-men distributors. The system empowers independent stores to select, order, and fulfill delivery of wholesale goods nationwide. At the same time, we believe the system enables manufacturers to efficiently achieve mass distribution through a cost-effective nationwide platform.”
“In addition to connecting retailers and manufacturers through the network, the network supports value added products such as SurgePhone™ Wireless, the SurgePays™ Visa® prepaid card, and a variety of consumer products. By offering aggressive wholesale pricing, we can offer retailers a new source of high margin revenue, thereby enhancing the value and profitability of our network.”
About Surge Holdings, Inc:
