It was good to see you too at the Vancouver Gaming show!!
I was looking at some of the company names on peoples badges too. This was definitely a show for the wholesale Gaming Industry. I also saw some corporate name tags, such as IBM, hanging around the Ticker Booth.
Ticker's had some very high quality gaming hardware to display at the show, in addition to their LED signs.
By the way, Ticker's LED signs can be programed in pretty much any language. Very cool.
Made it to the Vancouver Gaming show yesterday. Ticker's display looked great and they were very busy talking to interested people from various organizations.
Stay tuned for more info and pics a little later today!!
I agree Narov...this is a unique opportunity for MOPN.
Good to see you here. :)

Anyone else heading over?

Unfortunately no but this is the Schmidt foundation email address: staff@theschmidt.org
What I find disturbing about this Wendy Schmidt is that she is also on the Board of Directors and Founders Circle for a non profit organization called - Cradle to Cradle. (Sound familiar?) They endorse or promote products that are completely environmentally friendly yet MOP cannot compete in her X - games???
Makes no sense other than it sure seems that she is in the pocket of the oil companies, imo.
Excellent!! I am too. em
Is anyone here sending an email to the X Challenge regarding MOPN??

MOPN CHALLENGE to the X CHALLENGE
http://realoilspillsolutions.blogspot.com/
April 13, 2011
In July of 2010, the X_PRIZE Foundation announced the Wendy Schmidt Oil Spill Cleanup X CHALLENGE, with the following goals as excerpted from the guidelines:
The goal of the Competition is to inspire a new generation of oil spill cleanup technologies that enable a more rapid pace of cleanup, and broaden the environmental conditions under which oil spill cleanup can take place.”
MOP Environmental was among the first companies to register and pay our filing fee of $3,500 to participate, submitted on Feb 14, 2011. We did so with a great deal of enthusiasm because it seemed, after months of frustration, watching the Deepwater Horizon spill turn into an environmental nightmare, while knowing full well that our product, indeed, held the answer to a manageable solution. With the X Challenge we believed that finally there would be an open-minded search for the truth. This would provide the opportunity for MOP Maximum Oil Pickup to compete against all current technologies on a level playing field, with a very good likelihood to win plus the benefit of publicity from our participation.
This letter is written to explain why MOP - in order to go public to protest the inequities of the X CHALLENGE - has found it necessary to withdraw from the competition.
To follow is a description of what actions we plan to take in light of our withdrawal and the advantages of so doing.
From the beginning, our nondisclosure agreement with the X CHALLENGE prohibited MOP Environmental from disclosing our participation. But, by withdrawing from the competition, we are no longer subject to the constraints of the nondisclosure agreement. We believe this offers many added benefits over a failure to withdraw.
As previously stated, the original promotional literature about the competition laid out the laudable goals of the competition and led us to believe that we would be a very strong contender for the X-PRIZE.
Upon review of the March 21, 2011 guidelines, we opened a dialogue with the technical director, Jeff Skipper. We asked Mr. Skipper to explain how they developed the guidelines and he stated that “Shell Oil representatives had provided them with the technical expertise to write the guidelines, because we just don’t have the expertise on staff.” This shocking admission probably reflects the fact that Mr. Skipper was not prepared to be asked this question and was unaware that it might be viewed as inappropriate for an oil company to be drafting the guidelines for an Oil Spill cleanup contest.
Ironically, the US EPA was not involved in drafting the guidelines and they have not been included in any phase of the competition. Mr. Skipper proudly stated that EPA was not included because the administrators did not want to have the environmental agency prejudice the process. For over 20 years, EPA has consistently been the most fair-minded agency in the process of analyzing methodologies for spill cleanup based on science and not politics.
As we described our technology to Jeff, his enthusiasm was evident. “This seems like exactly what we are looking for,” he said. Jeff indicated that there was flexibility within the guidelines and that revisions had already been made on a number of occasions. He asked us to write up a request for a change in the guidelines and stated that he would have it reviewed by the “prejudging panel technical team” and be back to us in two days. We then sent our letter (letter #1) to Jeff Skipper.
When Jeff Skipper had not called us four days later, we began calling him. When we finally reached him, there was a more subdued reaction with Jeff stating, it was not likely that they would accept our request for a change to the guidelines.
Though we were discouraged with our first attempt, Charlie was not ready to give up yet and he convinced Mr. Skipper to allow us to present the basis of our entry ahead of schedule to the X CHALLENGE Administrators in a last effort to convince them to open up the contest to a fair competition representing all the available environmentally sustainable technology. He (Skipper) gave us his word that they would look it over and get back to us within a few days.
The second letter also included a comparable methodology for measuring the sorbent performance for direct basis of comparison to that of skimmer technology:
Sorbent performance measurement methodology, stated briefly:
We would calculate the Oil Recovery Rate (ORR) by dividing the volume of oil removed by the total time required for the MOP deployment and retrieval. The measured time span would commence with deployment of MOP and end with the liftoff of the oil saturated MOP from the surface of the water.
We would calculate the Oil Recovery Efficiency (ORE) by dividing the volume of the oil extracted from the sorbent by the volume of the oil and water extracted from the sorbent times 100 to yield the percentage ORE. The extraction process would be accomplished using a high-speed screw press similar to what is used to extract cottonseed oil from cottonseed or rape seed oil from rapeseed.
All other Judging Criteria would remain the same i.e. exactly as stated in section 4.2 Phase 1 of the competition guidelines.
Five days later, during a conference call with other participants and the administrators of the X Challenge, we learned, to our surprise, that they would not re-consider the ban on sorbents. There was never any attempt made to explain their reasoning and they refused to respond to questions regarding their rationale.
On April 4, 2011, we withdrew from the contest under protest. MOP sent a letter to the administrators of the Wendy Schmidt Oil Spill Cleanup X Challenge.
The X Challenge was created in the wake of the failure of skimmers, booms and burning and an often ignored government mandate to prohibit the use of toxic dispersants (that severely endanger the oceans' aquatic life). These failed and ineffective methods of response prompted the X Challenge to search for the most environmentally safe answer to oil spills.
We believe MOP Maximum Oil Pickup uniquely satisfies all the prerequisite objectives of this initiative. The X Challenge, however, has arbitrarily and without good reason, categorically excluded our approach.
Our response
The X Challenge is scheduled to take place at the government approved test facility, referred to as Ohmsett, located in New Jersey.
We have contacted the Ohmsett facility to schedule a test of our MOP Maximum Oil Pickup to take place before to the X Challenge competition. It is our intent to prove that our product MOP Maximum Oil Pickup will outperform all the competition entered into the X Challenge in a true and fair head to head competition.
We expect to have an answer from the Ohmsett facility by this Friday, April 15.
This will be publicized as our Challenge to the Wendy Schmidt X Challenge.
It is our hope to call upon reporters and news agencies to deliver a story and to provide regular updates and details on our website and news blog.
Some of the issues that we will address are as follows:
1. Our MOP Maximum Oil Pickup, is capable of capturing up to 99% of the spilled oil (with an oil cleanup rate of up to 95% of the spilled oil for reuse) yet is prevented from entry and excluded from consideration. Why does the X Challenge competition set the extremeley low criteria of only 70% removal of oil (which favors skimmers)?
2. Our MOP Maximum Oil Pickup can be blown under an oil spill to operate under all weather conditions to irrespective of wave height, so why does the X Challenge provide for only 1 foot waves which are not a realistic typical ocean condition that would only favor skimmer technology, (please note, calm waters up to one foot waves favor skimmers)?
3. Our MOP Maximum Oil Pickup will operate irrespective of the thickness of the oil film on water so why does the X Challenge only choose a 1 inch thickness of oil which is again an unrealistic condition typically only used for a comparison of oil skimmers? (Oil skimmers will not operate under normal ocean conditions where the oil spreads into a thin film causing the skimmer to primarily pickup water.)
These, and other questions, will be addressed and brought to light explaining why our MOP Maximum Oil Pickup is the true technology that can accomplish all the real-life objectives of oil spill response.
Sincerely,
Charles M. Diamond

T4R volume strong and building...just like the pps.
More good things to come from Ticker this year...you bet!
I think we are both essentially saying the same thing here but no matter, I agree it's been difficult for investors here to wait for news.
Insider Information
What Does It Mean?
Material information about a company's activities that has not been disclosed to the public.
Investopedia explains Insider Information
It is illegal for anyone with access to insider information to make trades based on it.
It's not illegal to have insider information, it's only illegal to trade on it.
That said, I'm not saying one way or the other that anyone has insider information, here.
A CEO is obligated to PR Material Events and not everyday little bits and pieces of changes to the company.
I'm appreciative that that there is some communication going on with others here although I understand that this would seem unfair to some.
I hope that we can get a shareholder update soon from the company, too.
Looks like someone is panicking trying to buy back in again now that he's seen HNSS's PR today.
I don't doubt that Black will try to eliminate that debt in short order if he hasn't done so for most of it already.
Today's news was a solid sign for HNSS to grow and stay profitable.
This is a cheap pps to buy in on and it looks like some took advantage today.
Looks like Ticker is taking a well earned breather today. The pps and volume have been steady and solid.
I'm hoping to hear more good news from Ticker attending all of the different exhibits over these past few weeks.
Ticker has a unique combination of products and services for a wide range of consumer's needs.
Good announcement for HNSS and good solid first quarter.
I'm guessing that HNSS has very low overhead costs which will significantly increase the profit margin here.

About IGT NYSE: IGT $16.83 USD +0.43 (+2.62%)
Longevity means IGT is doing something right. Since 1981, IGT has been the leading company specializing in design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and sales of computerized gaming equipment, software, and network systems worldwide. But IGT history reaches well beyond its nearly 30 years of business.
2001-Present
As 2000 gave way to 2001, IGT became a member of the prestigious Standard & Poor's 500 list and acquired Silicon Gaming, a cutting-edge technology company whose intellectual property has served IGT well. Then, in December 2001, IGT made its grandest acquisition to date when it acquired Anchor Gaming and immediately doubled gaming operations revenue.
Two major honors were bestowed on the Company in 2003—when IGT was added to BusinessWeek magazine's list of the "50 Top-Performing Companies" and when it made Fortune magazine's "100 Fastest-Growing Companies" list.
The company momentum continued as IGT acquired Acres Gaming, whose bonusing and systems technology added firepower to IGT's games and systems products. In 2004, the Company introduced its central determination system (CDS) and Class II bingo games and systems to the Native American market. IGT made the Forbes magazine list of the "Best-Managed Companies in America" during that year, and IGT Canada was created to serve the burgeoning Canadian gaming and lottery markets.
To close out its first 25 years as a public company, in 2005 IGT acquired WagerWorks for its advanced online gaming technology. IGT also unveiled its first multi-level progressive MegaJackpots® product, Fort Knox®. IGT offices were established in Russia, Mexico, and Macau to take advantage of emerging market opportunities. At the 2005 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, IGT featured its prototype server-based (sb™) gaming products, which were honored with first place in Global Gaming Business magazine's Gaming & Technology Awards.
IGT's Advanced Video Platform (AVP®), with its full-screen, live streaming videos, vivid color animation, and stereo sound, was first sold in the TrimLine cabinet in 2006. That year also marked the launch of Table iD®, which combines table management software, RFID (radio frequency identification device) chip tracking, bonusing, and image-based card recognition into one comprehensive system.
In 2006 IGT formed a partnership with Walker Digital and jointly developed the Guaranteed Play™ concept, a creative new method of purchasing game play. The Company also introduced its first group play and community bonus game, Wheel of Fortune® Special Edition™. The end of 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of the most popular gaming machines ever made—Wheel of Fortune® slots—and the 20th anniversary of Megabucks®.
At the 2006 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, IGT unveiled its M-P Series™ multi-player concepts for roulette and baccarat, the first games in a complete line of electronic multi-player table game products.
The following year showed increased growth in the international markets. In 2007 IGT established a new office in China and saw significant successes in Mexico's gaming operations and Japan's and Asia's product sales. The Company also announced two important intellectual property arrangements—the first with Austrian-based Novomatic for use in IGT's M-P Series™ multi-player product and the second with PureDepth, Inc. for its 3-D-like, multi-layer display (MLD™) technology. In November 2007, IGT announced the 400th installation of its EZ Pay® ticket-in, ticket-out system.
In its April 24, 2007, issue, USA Today ranked IGT Number 6 on its list of the 25 Top-Performing Stocks of the Past 25 Years. Electronic Design magazine listed IGT Number 25 on its 2007 list of the Top 100 Employers of Electronic Designers. The Company was also honored with 15 of 20 possible awards—including all first-place awards—at "Best of Gaming 2007" in Las Vegas.
The year 2007 was big for one lucky player, as well. The world's largest penny slot jackpot ever—nearly $18.8 million—was won in January on Penny Megabucks® at the Pahrump Nugget Casino in rural Nevada.
June 2007 brought an IGT investment in DigiDeal® Corporation, a gaming technology company with a patented electronic table game platform that would contribute to the Company's further development of its M-P Series™ games.
2007 also marked the acquisition of Mariposa® business intelligence software from VCAT. In addition, the Company introduced its award-winning IGT sb™ Service Window technology, allowing casinos to interact with players and display points, comps, offers, branded promotions, and services through a touch-screen menu located in the game space.
IGT was first with several game play features in 2007, including 2-for-1 wagering, a buy-a-pay concept, and a MultiWay® spinning-reel game. The Company initiated the transition to the AVP® platform across all product lines and also launched REELdepth™, the world's first MLD™ (Multi-Layer Display)-based product made with 3-D-looking animations. MLD™ technology involves a layering of two or more LCDs that create the visual effect of true depth without the use of 3-D glasses. REELdepth™ games are Multi-Game-capable, which allows players to switch between virtual spinning-reel games, video slots, and video poker, all on the same machine. REELdepth™ games are also sb™-ready for future gaming needs.
In early 2008 IGT opened the first-of-its-kind Global Technology and Interoperability Center in Reno, Nevada. This 6,500-square-foot facility is open for use by other gaming machine manufacturers, customers, and manufacturers of third-party products. The center's collaborative approach that ensures rigorous testing is conducted in a true-to-life casino environment before products go to market. IGT also acquired Cyberview Technology, Inc., allowing the Company to expand and diversify its business opportunities, especially in the United Kingdom.
2008 also marked the launch of the larger-than-life eBay™ video slots. Based on the world's most famous electronic marketplace, eBay™ Video Slots feature a Community Play Free Spins bonus and big-screen reels.
In February 2008 Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. selected IGT's sb™ NexGen™ displays for installation on more than 60,000 Harrah's slot machines. Then in April 2008, CityCenter - the dazzling vertical city on the Las Vegas strip set to open in late 2009—signed an agreement with IGT pertaining to installing a server-based network and sb™ gaming management system products at the development's resort casino.
A series of new models made their way off the IGT production line and into casinos in 2008. The new machines' designs are based on customer feedback, and the series boasts the performance and flexibility of the AVP®. All new models are also sb™—ready and were developed using IGT's Human Machine Interface (HMI) process for ultimate player comfort, convenience, and playability.
In early 2009 IGT announced it had acquired certain operating assets of Progressive Gaming International Corporation (PGIC). The global operations of PGIC were integrated with IGT's respective offices in Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America, Canada, and the U.S. The assets acquired help IGT to provide systems products for somewhat different market segments as compared with our current IGT Advantage® line and are an ideal complement to IGT's current offering.
Also in early 2009 IGT and Las Vegas Gaming, Inc. entered into substantive business and investment agreements. The parties entered into agreements to create a business relationship going forward. LVGI has agreed to create applications for IGT's server-based gaming systems, and IGT has agreed to assist LVGI in those efforts.
IGT's newest office in Beijing, China, had its grand opening in March 2009. The Beijing campus is a result of the Company's commitment to deliver the most innovative gaming solutions and products to its customers. IGT Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd. researches and develops gaming software, systems software, and application software. In addition, the center provides technical services, support, and training.
IGT took top honors at the 2009 International Gaming Awards in London, England, on January 26. A panel of 23 international judges selected IGT as the best Slot Manufacturer of the year. Later in the spring, Public Gaming Research Institute named IGT's REELdepth™ games featuring Multi-Layer Display (MLD®) technology the 2009 Lottery Product of the Year, and Casino Journal listed four IGT products on its Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products for 2008. And Casino Enterprise Management magazine announced its 2009 Slot Floor Technology Awards, which included IGT's AVP® Dynamic Game Menu, MultiPLAY Video Slots, REELdepth, and sbX Media Manager.
Also in April 2009, IGT named Patti S. Hart as its new president and CEO.
Key offers that hit the marketplace in 2009 included the extremely popular Indiana Jones™ and the Last Crusade™ REELdepth™ Slots. This new MegaJackpots® game features IGT's patented REELdepth™ technology, which uses the one and only Multi-Layer Display® (MLD®) technology, creating an unparalleled 3-D gaming experience.
Also joining the MegaJackpots® family in 2009 were Star Wars™ Multi-Level Progressives and Wheel of Fortune® Super Spin™ Video Slots Five-Station. Star Wars™ Multi-Level Progressives boast IGT's one-of-a-kind group play bonus - the first competitive group play bonus in the market. This feature allows more than one player to enter the bonus at the same time, and all eligible players are awarded with participation in a thrilling race in the Speeder Chase bonus. The world's most popular slot game now includes the Wheel of Fortune® Super Spin™ Video Slots Five-Station. This eye-catching game features five individual player stations around a giant vertical wheel—the ultimate in group-play gaming.
In the spring of 2009 IGT added a novel gaming concept to its offerings—MultiPLAY Video Slots. MultiPLAY takes one machine and makes it four times more exciting. This is the first slot product in the industry to give players the option of playing their favorite game up to four times, simultaneously, with different outcomes on the same video slot machine. First-to-market innovation like this is available only from IGT.
IGT Network Systems released its sbX™ Tier One package to the market in 2009, as well. This is the first G2S server-based solution and the initial step toward an open, server-based casino industry. The sbX™ Tier One package is a bank-by-bank solution that gives casino operators the power to implement server-based technology without having to commit to a floor-wide implementation. In combination with the power of IGT's AVP® platform, the Tier One package provides the performance needed to keep up with changing player demands and gain that much-needed competitive edge.
IGT kicked off 2010 with a repeat win at the International Gaming Awards as Best Slot Manufacturer of the Year. This award was just the start of a long list of honors that IGT received throughout the year. The awards and accolades IGT received ranged from industry experts and trade publications to reader polls in player focused publications. Added to the Company’s long list of accolades were 16 awards in Casino Player magazine's Best of Gaming for 2010, top honors in Global Gaming Business' 8th Annual Gaming and Technology Awards, wins in the inaugural Casino Enterprise Management Hospitality Operations Technology Awards, and 35 awards in Strictly Slots’ Best of Slots Awards.
In the spring of 2010, IGT’s sbX Experience Management System was installed in the first European locations. The first Europe-based casino to go live with sbX was Casino d'Evian in France. This was followed by a number of additional European installations including Casino di Venezia in Italy and Grand Casino Helsinki in Finland.
IGT marked a significant milestone in the Company’s history in the fall of 2010. In November, the Company celebrated the production of its 2 millionth slot machine.
Late 2010 also saw the creation of an Interactive division within IGT dedicated to further building its online and mobile gaming presence. IGT's WagerWorks and Million-2-1 groups merged into a single global division headquartered in San Francisco, California. This new division serves customers in regulated, legal markets globally and is dedicated to providing the very best gaming products to the online and mobile market.
The year ended with a substantial win for both its network systems products and games. The brand new casino resort The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas opened floor-wide in sbX; the majority floor share of games; plus, an entire suite of IGT Advantage system products.

Signs, Display and Content: http://tickercom.com/signs-displays/
and LED Facts:
http://tickercom.com/led-faqs/
Is the display intended for indoor or outdoor use?
This is an important concern as LED signs are designed specifically for either indoor or outdoor conditions. The first consideration is environmental durability and Tickercom outdoor LED signs are built
to funtion in extreme weather conditions. From Alaska to Las Vegas, Tickercom Outdoor LED signs are proven to last. Another important aspect is LED brightness. Automatic brightness control comes standard on all Tickercom outdoor LED signs to ensure readability no matter the conditions. Tickercom also offers indoor window bright signs that are powerful enough to read through a store’s window from the street.
What content will be displayed on the sign?
Think about how you plan to use your LED sign. How many characters and/or lines need to be displayed at one time? Shorter length LED signs make reading long messages difficult but are perfect for quick messages. Multi-line signs suit many outdoor needs that require multiple static messages to be displayed at once. Would multi-colors enhance the message? Although monochrome signs are more affordable, a multi-color sign can often enhance a message by visually separating key points of information.
By asking lots of questions you can determine exactly how to use your LED sign.
The answers to those questions will lead you to the right sign.
What method will be used to communicate with the LED sign?
The method of communication depends on quite a few factors that are constantly evolving as new technology becomes available. Tickercom offers three main types of communication.
PC Based
Hardwired: The LED sign is plugged directly into a PC or connected through the network. Tickercom’s easy-to-use software allows the user to easily design and send their message.
B. Wireless: The LED sign is connected to the PC via a wireless modem or bluetooth device. Tickercom’s easy-to-use software allows the user to easily design and send their message.
Please note that Tickercom content is not available on computer controlled LED signs.
Web Based
A. Hardwired: An Internet device is connected to the router and then wired (Cat-5 cable) to the LED sign. Plug and play capabilities. Internet connection required.
B. Wireless: An Internet device is connected to the router and a secure bluetooth system wirelessly connects to the LED sign. Plug and play capabilities. Internet connection required.
GSM Unit
A GSM device is connected directly to the LED sign. GSM is a type of cellular technology that receives Tickercom’s signal from towers throughout North America. Plug and play capabilities.
What is the maximum and minimum viewing distance?
Viewing distance is a very important consideration when choosing the right LED sign. A good general rule is that one inch of text is visible from 50 feet away. The following diagram illustrates at what distance and character size a pedestrian audience will recognize and understand the content displayed on the LED sign.
If the target audience is moving then another factor comes into play: The time needed to read and understand the message. Tickercom suggests an ideal minimum of three to four seconds of readable exposure time for a message of seven to eight groupings. However, the faster the audience is moving the less time they have to read the message. In the case of highway traffic the display characters could be 24 inches high to allow a maximum viewing distance of 1200 feet. While in the city, 24 inch characters would be too large and overwhelming.
The chart below lists the maximum and minimum time an audience will need to view an LED sign at specific character sizes while travelling at certain speeds. For example, six inch text is visible from 200 feet away. If the audience is travelling at 25 mph (city traffic) then they will need 5.5 seconds to understand the message. If the audience is travelling at 65 mph (freeway traffic) the maximum viewing time is reduced to 3.1 seconds. Remember, the audience requires 3-4 seconds to read 7-8 pieces of information. If the LED sign is displaying too much content, then the reader will not have sufficient time to fully comprehend the message.
What is an LED?
LED is an abbreviation for light emitting diode. An LED is a solid-state electronic device that is much more efficient at creating light than an incandescent lamp. And, unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs have no filaments that can burn out or fail. LEDs contain chemical compounds that emit light when electric current passes through them. Different chemical compounds emit different bands of light. Tickercom uses the highest quality LEDs from the top manufacturers in the world. LEDs are available in various colors.
LED components can be in the form of through-hole LED lamps, SMD lamps and COB (chips on board) dot-matrixes.
What is pixel?
Pixel is short for picture element. Pixels are points of light that illuminate to form letters, words, graphics, animation and video images. A pixel can be made up of a single LED, multiple LEDs of the same color or multiple LEDs of different colors. A pixel can be off or on or lit at various brightness levels.
What is pitch?
Pitch is the distance between the centers of adjacent pixels. Simply put, the smaller the pitch (the closer the pixels are to each other), the shorter the optimum viewing distance for the display.
What is resolution?
Resolution is defined as the number of pixels contained in the physical area of an electronic display. The greater the number of pixels, the greater the amount of information displayed. The total number of pixels usually expressed as W x H where W and H denote the horizontal and vertical number of pixels.
What is viewing angle?
Optimum viewing angle is determined by the horizontal and vertical points at which the measured light intensity is at least 50% of the intensity measured directly in front of the display. Some applications require a wide viewing angle, others a focused viewing angle.
Oh Yeah!! Tickercom keeps on delivering. Potential revenue from all Ticker's of efforts this year should be solid and then some.
Way to go Ticker!!

Guess maybe word got out about the detailed discovery we're expecting anytime now and woke some of the MM's up? :)
Can't wait to get some solid information about what HNSS has been up to and expects for this year.
