Tech Alert: The Wocket and COIN Set the Stage for Changing Your Wallet as You Know It; CEOs of NXT-ID, Inc (NXTD) and COIN Discuss How all Your Credit Cards Can Be Managed in One Product

Point Roberts, WA, NEW YORK, NY - December 9, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor news and research portal specializing in leading sectors including biometrics and mobile technology issues an exclusive interview with Mr. Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc (OTCQB: NXTD) and Mr. Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin. The CEOs discuss their innovative payment technologies coming to market in 2014.

Each company has a different approach, technology base, product benefits and security features but both have the same goal; to make it simpler, easier and more secure for consumers to manage their credit cards.
As the two companies prepare for their roll-out in 2014, Investorideas interviews both CEOs to give consumers insight as to what will differentiate the products to the end user.
NXT-ID, Inc’s, The Wocket™ contains a single secure smart card that can hold up to 100 cards and is designed to replace all the cards in your wallet. The Wocket™ works anywhere that credit cards are accepted and can only be used with your biometric or touch screen authentication. The Wocket™ is scheduled to come to market in the first quarter of 2014.
COIN, a company that puts eight credit cards in one COIN is taking pre- orders from consumers for delivery in the summer in 2014. Management believes believe Coin is a substantial improvement on how consumers interact with, and use cards that have a magnetic stripe.
NXT-ID, Inc Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
What is the idea behind the wocket™?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
The wocket™ is our interpretation of everything a modern wallet should be. It has a single reprogrammable credit card within the wocket to allow secure payments to be made in a traditional manner but the wocket has other functionality too and will be able to display identification as well as hold cash just like a traditional wallet.
Q: Investorideas.com
What is the battery life of the smart card in the wocket?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
The smart card in the wocket is automatically recharged when it is in the wocket so it will never run out of juice! The wocket uses two CR batteries that need to be replaced every 2 to 4 years depending on frequency of use but they are inexpensive and widely available.
Q: Investorideas.com
Does the phone need to be near for the wocket to work?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
No. The wocket does not depend on a phone to work. In fact no confidential information in the wocket is ever passed through a phone or the internet. It is an important security feature.
Q: Investorideas.com
What security features does the wocket have?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
In order to access the wocket for use, the user must authenticate themselves through the use of a multi-factor voice biometric algorithm or through a unique identifier on the touch screen. As we have previously stated, no confidential information in the wocket is ever passed through a phone. The confidential card information is loaded directly on to the wocket through a scanner that has an input directly into the wocket. In addition after the card is used, the wocket zeroizes the magnetic strip meaning no information is retained on the card. If the card is lost there is no useful information on it. In fact purchasers can subscribe to an insurance plan with us so that if their card is lost we will replace it overnight and they can continue life as normal within 24 hrs.
Q: Investorideas.com
What features does the wocket offer other than making credit card payments?
A: Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID, Inc
Any card with a magnetic stripe can be loaded on the wocket so debit cards, gas cards, supermarket cards and other loyalty cards can all be used. The wocket can also display barcodes and identity cards. The fact that the wocket is a smart wallet also means that future editions will be able to make touchless payments, often known as “touch and go”, and NFC capability means that you could even use it at to make EZ-pass payments while you are driving. Of course you will also be able to hold cash in your wocket as well.
COIN Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
I had read that the battery life of COIN is 2 years; is that correct? And if so what kind of usage is that based on in testing?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
COIN’s battery life is 2 years under normal usage. Normal usage is 10 swipes per day.
Q: Investorideas.com
What happens if the phone battery dies? does it still work?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
Coin uses the concept of a leash, when the phone battery dies, the leash breaks and Coin locks down and disables itself. Once this happens, users can manually unlock Coin using a single button passcode (similar to a morse code) and continue to use their Coin without their phone.
Q: Investorideas.com
How do they get the credit info onto the phone app? How is it downloaded?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
Credit card info is downloaded to your phone app by first taking a picture of the front and back of your card, answering personal security questions and finally through a card reader dongle attached to your phone.
Q: Investorideas.com
Have you tested the magnetic stripe with all kinds of payment cards? And can you say which ones?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
We have proven and tested the magnetic stripe with all kinds of payment cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and AMEX just to name a few, as well as other magnetic striped cards like loyalty cards, gift cards, and membership cards.
Q: Investorideas.com
Does the phone need to be near for COIN to work?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
( as per question 2) Coin uses the concept of a leash, when the phone battery dies, the leash breaks and Coin locks down and disables itself. Once this happens, users can manually unlock Coin using a single button passcode (similar to a morse code) and continue to use their Coin without their phone.
Q: Investorideas.com What stops someone that gets a hold of your COIN, from accessing all 8 cards you may have downloaded? For example what happens if it falls in the hands of either a customer service person or if you loose it or someone steals it?
A: Kanishk Parashar, CEO of Coin
When you give your COIN to a customer service person or waiter, you can lock the card to avoid unwanted swipes from occurring. Additionally COIN will keep track of the number of times it is swiped and will alert you when actions are suspicious. When your COIN is lost or stolen, it will be disabled and inoperable as soon as it breaks connectivity with your mobile phone and will not function until it is manually enabled or reconnected to your phone.

Colombia: Vast Potential in the Oil and Gas Sector

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA, - December 3, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors reports on the recent XV Congress of Oil and Gas held in Bogotá, Colombia on November 20th – 22nd and the Oil and Gas sector in Colombia.

In the last decade Oil and Gas has had an increasing impact in the Colombian economy. It has developed into one of the country's largest exports with an increase in production and further exploration development. The country reached its goal of 1 million barrels per day as of December of last year and has managed to maintain production over the current year. This has lead to such key players as Ecopetrol, Pacific Rubiales Energy, Petrominerales, Gran Tierra Energy Colombia and Equion Energia (a joint venture between Ecopetrol and Talisman Energy formed from British Petroleum's former Colombian assets) developing and growing in Colombia which in turn has brought smaller and mid-sized companies into the country as well.
This year's XV Congress of Oil and Gas, held by ACIPET which has its own headquarters located in an exclusive area of Bogota, had over 220 companies in attendance coming from Canada, China, the US and other Latin American Countries. The conference focused on Colombia's Oil and Gas future, which seems to be heading in the direction of utilizing and exploring Colombia's unconventional oil and gas reserves as well as developing offshore reserves. The potential in this area is expected to be vast with the possible 9.3 billion barrels throughout 21 blocks of unconventional reserves and 20 blocks of offshore for future exploration.
ACIPET (The Colombian Association of Petroleum Engineers) and ANH (The National Agency of Hydrocarbons) are working in unison and in cooperation with the Colombian government to issue environmental regulations for these potential unconventional reserves in the coming months, aiming for exploration permits to be given for mid-late 2014.
With this in mind; manufacturing, technology and production companies from around the world were in attendance at the conference looking to settle into Colombia for the coming years and Colombia's future potential. While Colombia has great potential in unconventional reserves the country is currently further behind with regards to expertise and technology in this are which they are quickly remedying. Universities throughout the country have joined with various Oil and Gas companies to develop their training towards unconventional oil and gas such as Ecopetrol with the Universidad de las Andes in Bogotá and Petroskills. Colombia has also benefitted greatly from mass immigration from Venezuela due to political instability which has lead to an abundance of skilled assets joining the Colombian oil and gas sector, such as with Pacific Rubiales Energy.
While Colombia has had delays with permits and has more extensive environmental regulations than most of its surrounding Latin American countries, its potential coupled with its political and financial stability has made Colombia the ideal Latin American base for many companies, with Bogotá being the center of that base.
Bogotá is not only the Capital and largest city in Colombia, but is also fast becoming the Oil and Gas center of the country with 84% of all oil and gas service companies being located in the city. Bogotá and Colombia also have a variety of tax and business incentives such as 8% royalties, no remittance tax, deductable local taxes, a flexible government take and free trade agreements with many of the surrounding countries and most of the Americas.
Another large factor for Colombia's oil and gas future is the country's increase in infrastructure for though there are many cost benefits to drilling and manufacturing within the country, transportation continues to be an issue. This are is being looked at by the government and private sector with current Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos pledging $100 billion for the next decade and the upcoming completion of the 975km Bicentennial Pipeline.
After attending this year's conference the growing momentum and energy of Colombia's oil and gas industry was palpable with many companies seeming actively excited for the upcoming years in Colombia. The country stands as one of the most successful countries in Latin America as far as political and financial stability are concerned and with its highly skilled labor and support towards international investment, Colombia looks to have a great outlook for the next five to ten years. The Colombian government definitely has some ground to cover over the next few years regarding environmental permits and regulations and an improved infrastructure but with growing interest from outside investors and cooperation with the private sector these goals could be achieved on schedule.

Access your Wocket™ with security on the touch screen or through voice authentication biometrics and select which card you wish to use; now use that card to substitute any card in your wallet. What's more, no personal information is retained on the magnetic stripe so the risk of fraud is greatly reduced.
Now you can bring the wallet you know and love into the future with the Wocket™ and have advanced secure electronic wallet technology from NXT-ID.
Availability:
NXT-ID will be launching the Wocket in the first quarter of 2014.

HONG KONG - December 3, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) UMeWorld Limited (OTCQB: UMEWF) today outlines its growth strategy for UMeLook.com, a video platform focused on foreign content.

Unlike most competitors, UMeLook.com is focused on foreign content and targets affluent Chinese viewers who are interested in foreign information, products and brands. Chinese buyers are becoming increasingly sophisticated when it comes to buying high-end goods. They increasingly see luxury purchases as "lifestyle" rather than "celebratory," items and have become more interested in smaller niche brands, as opposed to big established international brands. UMeLook’s brand channel platform offers foreign advertisers the ability to use their existing promotional video assets to access affluent mainland China consumers at an affordable cost. For these reasons, the company is focusing on becoming the leading foreign product promotion provider in China.
Unique visitors Growth Seen Staying on Track
Since launching the newly redesigned UMeLook.com in May 2013, viewership has been growing at double digit month on month rates and surpassed 8 million unique visitors in November. This impressive growth rate has been achieved with minimal marketing efforts and is poised to accelerate with the introduction of revamped brand channels which are dedicated to promoting high-end, luxury product information.
Unique Revenue Model
"We have built a video platform to generate revenues through marketing and product promotion as well as traditional advertising methods. We have targeted a niche affinity market. UMeWorld’s goal is to make UMeLook.com the preferred source of high quality product information from foreign companies wishing to market their products to Chinese consumers. By correlating the UMeLook logo with guaranteed authentic foreign producer product information, UMeLook intends to become the go-to source for quality foreign products through online video in China. We are committed to enhancing shareholder value and believe that UMeLook.com is well positioned to excel and capitalize on market opportunities in the near and long-term," stated Ruby Hui, Vice President of Business Development.
About UMFun™
The UMFun™ (formerly SmartStar) is the only cloud based, patent-pending, adaptive learning,educational platform in China. The Platform name UMFun™ in the Chinese language means 'Full Mark'. It is a cost effective, engaging and entertaining assessment and tutoring platform that can intelligently analyze and adapt to a student's performance and personalizes the delivery of proprietary educational items in accordance with the student's learning needs.
About UMeWorld
UMeWorld's mission is to facilitate the interaction between people -- "You" and "Me," through its digital platform. Currently, UMeWorld operates UMeLook (www.umelook.com), an online video platform focused on bringing foreign video content to China. UMeLook is deployed through a sophisticated CDN (Content Delivery Network) with broad coverage throughout mainland China, Hong Kong & Taiwan. UMeLook plans to be a source of foreign video content for the Chinese viewer across any Internet-enabled device in China. UMeWorld intends to focus its future operations on digital media and the digital education market.
Forward Looking Statement
This release may contain projections and other forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are projections reflecting management's judgment and assumptions based on currently available information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Future performance cannot be assured. Readers are referred to the documents filed by UMeWorld with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

When you see reports that state within our lifetime, the oceans as we know them may die, we all need to draw a line in the sand as to what we are willing to do.

Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem- NRDC
Increased carbon dioxide is changing the chemistry of the earth’s oceans, threatening marine life
Earth’s atmosphere isn’t the only victim of burning fossil fuels. About a quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions are absorbed by the earth’s oceans, where they’re having an impact that’s just starting to be understood.
Over the last decade, scientists have discovered that this excess CO2 is actually changing the chemistry of the sea and proving harmful for many forms of marine life. This process is known as ocean acidification.
A more acidic ocean could wipe out species, disrupt the food web and impact fishing, tourism and any other human endeavor that relies on the sea.
The change is happening fast -- and it will take fast action to slow or stop it. Over the last 250 years, oceans have absorbed 530 billion tons of CO2, triggering a 30 percent increase in ocean acidity.
Before people started burning coal and oil, ocean pH had been relatively stable for the previous 20 million years. But researchers predict that if carbon emissions continue at their current rate, ocean acidity will more than double by 2100.
The polar regions will be the first to experience changes. Projections show that the Southern Ocean around Antarctica will actually become corrosive by 2050.

NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action group, combining the grassroots power of 1.4 million members and online activists with the courtroom clout and expertise of more than 350 lawyers, scientists and other professionals.
