May 18 - YesDTC Announces MotorBooster™ Engine Catalyst Results; 16.5% Fuel Savings Realized
YesDTC Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: YESD), a direct-to-consumer marketer and global distributor of consumer goods and products, announced the performance test results for the revolutionary new engine conditioner product called MotorBooster™. As an automotive combustion catalyst that targets the consumer market, MotorBooster is designed to increase fuel economy, reduce hydrocarbon emissions and enhance engine performance. MotorBooster™ is a proprietary formulation capsule that users simply insert into their gas tank, upon which it dissolves into the fuel to achieve mileage, emissions and enhancement benefits. MotorBooster is protected under U.S. patents and has received EPA Certification to not cause engine damage.
In a recent independent professional dynamometer engine test conducted by a leading NASCAR and Winston Cup development team, engines treated with MotorBooster showed an increased efficiency in fuel combustion, with a more complete burn of the fuel and virtual elimination of engine deposits, resulting in several highly significant benefits relative to untreated engines, including:
Specific performance results from the dynamometer test included:
* Improvement in torque: 2.9%
* Increase in power: 2.9%
* Improvement in fuel consumption: 16.5%
* Increase in the ratio of air-to-fuel present during combustion: 10.8%
* Reduction in the engine's fuel mass consumption and crankshaft power ratio: 16.5%
Regarding engine emissions, results after use of MotorBooster showed a:
* 54.4% reduction in carbon monoxide
* 9.0% drop in carbon dioxide
* 84.3% decline in hydrocarbons
* 15.6% decrease in nitrous oxides
* 24.6% increase in oxygen, which is consistent with an increase in fuel efficiency
Additionally, the benefits below were also realized:
* Improved fuel economy, with more miles gained per gallon of gasoline and/or the same amount of mileage achieved with less fuel used -- implying meaningful cost savings at the pump and less emissions into the environment
* The removal of deposit build-up and the prevention of further harmful carbon particle accumulation -- thereby lowering emissions, lowering engine part friction and lowering overall wear and tear -- all of which enable savings on engine maintenance costs
* Reduced engine wear and tear resulting in an extended engine life
* A reduction in the need for higher octane fuels, which typically represent some of the more expensive gasolines at standard filling stations, while still providing the same performance
* Cleaner oil with the need for fewer oil changes, again resulting in cost savings to motorists
* The virtual elimination of black smoke and harmful emissions.
* A significant decline in the release of carbon monoxide and ground level ozone toxins as a by product waste that occurs from inefficiencies in the fuel burning process
* A significant reduction in nitrogen oxides released
* Minimization of corrosive sulfur oxides, a cause of acid rain
Preliminary field tests of MotorBooster, in which several independent motorists agreed to try the fuel pill in their gas tank for a series of fill-ups at the gas pump, came back with an average increase in fuel efficiency of over 21% and driver commentary noted an increase in power in the driving and handling of their respective vehicles.
Christian Kirsebom, General Manager of YesDTC Holdings, Inc advised, "We are super excited about the potential the MotorBooster product is showing to help motorists gain a little cost savings at the pump and at the mechanic, particularly in this environment of rising gas prices." He continued, "Its estimated there were approximately 256 million registered vehicles in the United States alone in 2008, and today this figure is even higher. According to AAA, the national average price of gas now stands around $3.95, up 19 cents from a month ago and $1.04 more than the national price at this time last year when it was $2.91, for a total rise of nearly 36% in just 12-months with no signs of meaningful decline anytime soon. Given MotorBooster's impressive preliminary test results, we'd really like put 15% to 20% of rising fuel costs back into the consumer's pocket with results we think the MotorBooster engine conditioner can deliver."
The MotorBooster combustion catalyst and engine conditioner is scheduled to be available to later this summer.

May 9 - Biomagnetics Unveils World’s First Urine-Based Tuberculosis Diagnostics Tool in New Video
Biomagnetics Diagnostics Corp. (OTC: BMGP), a developer of revolutionary diagnostics systems and technology for HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, cholera and malaria detection, and other innovative technologies, in a new video unveiled the world’s first urine-based tuberculosis diagnostics tool. This revolutionary optical biosensor diagnostics device was developed by top scientists, chemists and engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory via a cooperative research and development agreement between the two organizations.
The waveguide-based system is capable of providing a qualitative tuberculosis diagnosis using only a few drops of human urine in a timeframe of only 15 to 20 minutes. This is a significant breakthrough compared to sputum, blood and skin tests that often take several days or weeks for results. Recently developed PCR-based diagnostics which take approximately two hours to produce results are significantly more expensive.
“Not only will the device provide a qualitative tuberculosis diagnosis in a fraction of the time of other testing protocols it will also provide these results at only a fraction of the cost, commented Clayton Hardman, CEO of Biomagnetics Diagnostics.” “While the current cost profile is already significantly lower than other tests, we are already working on a new waveguide design that will likely allow us to reduce the cost per test even further.” “The unit shown in this video is a desktop unit; however, the products for ultimate delivery to the market will also include a handheld device that can be operated by relatively untrained medical personnel at the point of patient care. We see nothing on the market today, or on the immediate horizon, that can compare to the capabilities of this technology. We congratulate the scientific staff at Los Alamos National Laboratory on the outstanding developmental effort they have put forth.”

EEGC News:
June 3 - Empire Signs USD $5M Convertible Loan Agreement for Bellevue #1 Drilling, Gas to Liquids & FASER Technology Development MOU, and Pursues Legal Action against Smart Win in New York Court & Other Miscellaneous Legal Matters
Empire Energy Corporation International (OTC: EEGC) (“Empire”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Great South Land Minerals Limited (GSLM), announced today Empire has secured several strategic commercial partners in the United Kingdom to complement Empire’s development and expansion of its international oil and gas and technology businesses while retaining a 51% majority interest. Libertas Capital Corporate Finance Ltd, a UK private investment bank, Nomad broker and partnership, has been retained to assist Empire with financing the Bellevue #1 oil and gas well, the gas to liquids and FASER technology and other related projects of Empire.
Empire has sought to implement a key industry partnership to fund and assist in the drilling of GSLM’s lead oil and gas prospect, Bellevue #1 well, through an Alternative Investment Market (AIM) listed London entity which holds established producing international oil and gas assets and interests in a waste oil processing business that may benefit from our technology. Empire has sold a 49% stake in return for USD $5 million funding by way of a convertible loan agreement that is part of the larger joint venture partnership. As part consideration and in exchange for the partnership interest, Empire is to be advanced approximately USD $1 million to supplement operational costs and GSLM’s current drilling program, and USD $100,000 was paid upon the signing of the agreement. It is proposed that in exchange for the 49% stake, Empire will be able to exploit the technical and exploration know how of its joint venture partner in addition to approximately USD $4 million in order to recommence on-site drilling operations at the Bellevue #1 site.
Simultaneously, Empire has executed a MOU in respect to funding for early stage development and market implementation of a gas to liquids (GTL) process technology for which Empire holds exclusive marketing and development rights in North, South and Central America. The transaction to finance and develop the gas to liquids technology allows Empire to retain a 51% interest in the project, while facilitating ready to market commercial application of the technology. Empire has previously validated the business case and has obtained an independent opinion providing forecast revenues based on an estimated regional market of approximately USD $2.7 billion per year. The joint venture will enable Empire to implement the business plan within 3 years. Empire considers the business case for the patented process technology to reside within its ability to convert gas to liquids at substantially lower capital and operating costs than are currently being experienced using the standard Fischer Tropsch process, including a smaller plant footprint and the inherent mobility of a 40 foot container.
Empire is also intending to develop its FASER (Force Amplification by Stimulated Electron Resonance) technology that has many applications, including as a possible application supporting the enhancement of the power supply and the productivity of the gas to liquids technology. Another exciting application for this revolutionary power supply under development is that it can be used in a method as a treatment system for chronic disease conditions. The invention has been designed using theoretical concepts of quantum biology. The principles of operation are based on the device's ability to stimulate a Bose-Einstein condensate and excitation of the Frolich resonance in living tissue. The wave numbers necessary for this excitation are derived from the solution to the equations for optical photon scattering in living tissue generated by optical photon excitation. The establishment of this superconducting state facilitates DNA replication, transcription, and translation, thereby allowing the proper formation or regeneration of healthy tissue. This superconducting state provides the conditions necessary for establishing the violation of time reversal invariance in living tissue. Arrangements are currently underway to do supervised medical trials of the technology both within the USA and Europe as a precursor for the global commercialization of the unit.
Empire and GSLM CEO Malcolm Bendall said, “First and foremost I would like to assure shareholders that Empire’s board has remained focused with success on the two top priorities, to protect and fund its Bellevue and Thunderbolt wells. Empire has determined to fearlessly and aggressively deal with and make accountable those who have conspired to delay and detour our single-minded objective to complete the drilling of the Bellevue well; those who continue to stand in the way of the drilling program can be assured that Empire will strike back and will not go silently into the night as our complaint to the integrity commission clearly demonstrates. Empire has undergone a significant review of all platforms for potential financing and development of assets under management, including the FASER and gas to liquids process technology. As a result of the last six months' review, London was identified, and has since proved, as a more successful early stage exploration and technology funding source. The Company now has the necessary resources in place and at its disposal to advance the development of those assets, with strategic partnerships playing a key part, along with a proactive methodical approach to risk reduction and management that has been adopted and funded. These actions have called for a renewed commitment from management and the alignment of the Board of Empire with these new directions which has prompted some recent changes with the acknowledgment and acceptance of resignations from James Leach, David Villarreal Jr. and Tad Ballantyne from their respective positions as Directors of Empire Energy Corporation International to focus on other personal business interests. Empire thanks them for their contributions and wishes them every success in their new endeavors on which they will now be able to exclusively focus.”
In early 2008, a Chinese company, Smart Win International Limited, entered into commercial agreements with Empire for the financing of exploration and drilling in Tasmania, which included the funding of Bellevue #1 well and other identified, undiscovered prospective resources as located within GSLM’s former tenement Special Exploration License (SEL) 13/98.
Empire alleges that in 2009, Smart Win breached its contractual and fiduciary obligations to Empire after failing in its continuing obligation to provide finance for drilling. In 2010, Smart Win lodged a motion of summary judgment against Empire and Empire’s CEO, claiming events of default in respect of the 2008 agreements and the call on monies advanced under those arrangements.
On May 20, 2011, Empire confirmed the filing of affidavits in support of legal action against Smart Win International Limited and its corporate officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Empire is alleging that Smart Win has materially breached its contracts with Empire which resulted in significant delays and economic costs. Empire is committed to pursuing Smart Win and any and all related parties and is seeking damages. However, Empire has received an offer to settle the matter and is considering its legal rights and is performing financial and legal due diligence prior to accepting any offer. Empire, mindful of the need to conserve finances for drilling, has also sold the rights to 50% of the proceeds of the Smart Win action in return for an obligation to fund, up to a certain level, the costs of the action, relieving Empire of the stress of funding the ongoing case.
Further, today GSLM lodged with the Tasmanian Integrity Commission documentation representing a summary of matters GSLM believes worthy of investigation, concerning our belief that there has been collusion in the act of improperly allocating a portion of our Tasmanian oil and gas assets, in part now Exploration Licence Application (ELA) 30/2011. GSLM has a right in contract and in law to this property and the allocation may constitute a loss which we believe will be subject to the outcome of current legal action over the 10 structures defined and valued by Empire. This action now quantifies a loss to GSLM, which is a pending matter of legal claims in the Magistrates Court in Tasmania. The 10 structures are outside of granted exploration licence area 14/2009 covering our most prospective areas, the Bellevue and Thunderbolt structures. GSLM has proceeded to summarize those beliefs in documents which have been lodged with the Tasmanian Integrity Commission detailing several complaints. The Commission was formed on the basis of legislation passed in Tasmania to raise the standard of conduct, ethics and propriety within the public sector and applies to state & local government levels, including Parliament. The investigation is being initiated to ensure that appropriate discretional and ethical conduct has been observed concerning these issues. The Tasmanian Integrity Commission has acknowledged that many complaints have been reported about members of the Tasmanian government, with over 100 complaints being lodged with the Commission in its first six months of operation.
As a separate legal matter, and in part, as related to the improper sale of the Empire GEFCO Drill Rig and other matters by previous management in 2008 and in an ongoing effort to protect the integrity of Empire’s assets and for the protection of its officers, directors and its corporate oil and gas assets held by GSLM, Empire has directed its retained legal counsel to file civil actions against certain entities and individuals relating to acts of tortious business interference both within the United States of America and overseas. Additionally evidence is being gathered which we intend to use to lodge complaints with the appropriate USA authorities against certain corporations and individuals relating to the US Federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) and the US Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Empire is also investigating the nondisclosure of the selling and exchange of securities by disqualified persons and entities in California, and the accumulation of an undisclosed position by the same group acting in concert.
