The Wocket retail price is $149.99.

Wocket™ is a next generation smart wallet designed to protect your identity and replace all the cards in your wallet, with no smart phone required.

The full Wocket product FAQ is available to consumers and media at http://nxt-id.com/wocket-faq/
FAQ Highlights:
"What is Wocket™?
Wocket™ is a smart wallet. Like the smart phone and smart watch, NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices.
"What does Wocket™ do?
Wocket™ locks all of your private information in an electronic "vault", where only an authenticated owner can authorize access to the data. Thus, you can "lock it with Wocket™ in your pocket", protecting your private information from unauthorized access.
"What makes Wocket™ smart?
Wocket™ smart wallet protects all of your private information inside an electronic vault while reducing the number of cards in your wallet. Dynamic pairing for authentication and encrypted data transfer with other secondary devices along with a plethora of new, innovative features makes Wocket™ the smartest wallet ever devised.
"How is Wocket™ different from other smart card solutions?
Wocket™ is not a smart card - it is a smart wallet. Thus, it can communicate with smart cards, but is not limited in the number, type, or method of communication of private information that typically restricts the use of a smart card. Furthermore, Wocket™ is not dependent on proximity or any other external factors to secure and choose soft-cards containing private information.
"How is Wocket™ different from other digital wallet solutions?
Rather than replace a wallet as many "digital wallet" technologies attempt to do, we chose to improve the wallet. Unlike other digital wallet solutions that depend on connectivity to choose a payment account, Wocket™ does not depend upon the cloud to select or make a payment.
"Does Wocket™ require another device, such as a cell phone?
No. Although Wocket™ does not require any other peripheral for security or "proximity sensing", Wocket™ can authenticate with secondary devices prior to transaction as an additional step in security as well as utilize a Wocket™ app on other devices to select or manage a soft-card, all without revealing private information.
"How do I access my private information?
A combination of biometrics, personal PIN or pattern provides multi-factor security for your Wocket™. Once Wocket™ verifies your identity, you can simply select whatever soft-card or information you want from the touch screen display, or in some configurations, your voice command.
"How many cards can be securely stored on a Wocket™?
Up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and up to 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™. More can be supported with optional additional memory.

Stevia / LOHAS Stock Alert: GLG (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) Announces Filing of GRAS Notification With FDA for Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Extracts

Vancouver, B.C. - May 22, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) GLG Life Tech Corporation (TSX: GLG) (OTC: GLGLF) ("GLG" or the "Company"), a global leader in the agricultural and commercial development of high quality natural sweeteners, announces that it has submitted a Generally Recognized as Safe ("GRAS") notification with the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) extract products.

This notification represents many months of work developing the products and all required documentation for the FDA-administered GRAS process, in order to demonstrate that GLG's Luo Han Guo extracts meet the FDA's criteria for safety. This process included in-depth consultations with GRAS Associates, LLC, who convened an independent panel of scientists to spearhead the safety assessment. The GRAS notification covers three distinct Luo Han Guo extracts, MV30, MV 50, and MV60, each containing a minimum level of mogroside V (30%, 50%, and 60%, respectively).
GLG has set up a vertically integrated supply chain, including agriculture and processing, for Luo Han Guo in China. GLG differentiates itself from other Luo Han Guo producers in three ways: (1) its competitive advantage in establishing agriculture systems in China, including the introduction of Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) by its Luo Han Guo farmers, superior Luo Han Guo seedlings and its proven methods to expand the amount of farming in other crops such as stevia; (2) its advanced processing and extraction technology, which will enable GLG to more efficiently and economically produce Luo Han Guo extracts and (3) its large industrial processing capacity, which well positions GLG for anticipated growth in the Luo Han Market driven by international food and beverage companies. GLG is expecting its first fruit to be harvested at the end of the third quarter and to commence processing in late 2014. GLG is currently working with a number of international customers interested in its Luo Han Guo products and expects initial sales to be finalized prior to the start of production.
Additionally, GLG has GRAS projects underway for two high-purity stevia products, high-purity rebaudioside C and rebaudioside D; notifications for these are expected to be released for review by the FDA in 2014 as well. GLG already has the largest number of stevia products certified under the GRAS process, including rebaudioside A products ranging from purities of 50 to 97%, high-purity stevioside (STV) and high-purity rebaudioside M. GLG is committed to ensuring that each of its naturally-sourced sweetener products is fully documented as compliant with the FDA GRAS process.
About GLG Life Tech Corporation
GLG Life Tech Corporation is a global leader in the supply of high purity stevia extracts, an all-natural zero-calorie sweetener used in food and beverages. The Company's vertically integrated operations cover each step in the stevia supply chain including non-GMO stevia seed breeding, natural propagation, stevia leaf growth and harvest, proprietary extraction and refining, marketing and distribution of finished product.

Medical Technology Breaking News: Aethlon Medical (OTCQB: AEMD) Reports Rapid and Sustained Virologic Response Rates in Hepatitis C (HCV) Treated Patients

SAN DIEGO - May 21, 2014 (Investorideas.com newswire) Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), the pioneer in developing selective therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease, cancer and other life-threatening conditions, today announced high rapid virologic response (RVR) and sustained virologic response (SVR) rates in Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) infected individuals who were administered Hemopurifier® therapy.

Investorideas.com Newswire The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class medical device that selectively targets the rapid clearance of viral pathogens and tumor-secreted exosomes from the entire circulatory system to improve the benefit of drug therapies administered to infectious disease and cancer patients. In HCV care, the device is positioned to address drug resistance associated with emerging all-antiviral therapies and also targets to accelerate HCV RNA depletion at the outset of peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) therapy.
Aethlon recently disclosed that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that now allows the Company to initiate HCV human feasibility studies of Hemopurifier® therapy in the United States. Aethlon announced yesterday that its first U.S. clinical study will be conducted at the DaVita MedCenter Dialysis in Houston, Texas. It is estimated that approximately 170 million people worldwide are infected with HCV, which leads to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, and is a leading cause of liver transplantation.
In the reported study, HCV-infected individuals were enrolled to receive three six-hour Hemopurifier® treatments during the first three days of a 48-week peginterferon+ribavirin (PR) treatment regimen. The study was conducted under the leadership of Dr. Vijay Kher at the Medanta Medicity, a multi-specialty medical institute established to be a premier center for medical tourism in India. Aethlon reported that Hemopurifier® therapy was well tolerated and without device-related adverse events in twelve treated patients. Of these twelve patients, nine completed the Hemopurifier-PR treatment protocol, including seven genotype-1 patients and two genotype-3 patients. Seven of the nine patients (n=7/9) achieved a sustained virologic response (SVR), which is the clinical definition of treatment cure and is defined as undetectable HCV RNA 24-weeks after the completion of the 48-week PR drug regimen. Both genotype-3 patients achieved a SVR (n=2/2), while five of the seven genotype-1 patients achieved a SVR (n=5/7).
Of the nine patients that completed the protocol, five (n=5/9) also achieved a rapid virologic response (RVR), defined as undetectable HCV RNA at day 30 of therapy. RVR represents the clinical endpoint that best predicts SVR cure rates. As a point of reference, the landmark IDEAL Study of 3,070 HCV genotype-1 patients documented that only 10.35% (n=318/3070) of PR treated patients will achieve a RVR. However, patients that achieved a RVR had SVR rates of 86.2% (n=274/318) versus SVR rates of 32.5% (n=897/2752) in non-RVR patients.
Data from three patients were not included in the reported dataset. Among the three patients was a genotype-5 patient who discontinued PR therapy at day 180, yet remained undetectable at 1.5 years after initiation of therapy. The second was a genotype-3 patient who was unable to tolerate PR therapy and, as a result, discontinued PR therapy at day-90, yet was still undetectable one year after initiating therapy. The third patient, who had the genotype-1 virus, was reported undetectable at the completion of the 48-week PR treatment regimen, but SVR results are not due on that patient until September of this year.
"It appears the intermittent application of Hemopurifier® therapy during just the first three days of a 48-week interferon regimen can significantly influence treatment outcomes," stated Aethlon Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce. "We now look forward to the clinical advancement of Hemopurifier® protocols against infectious viral pathogens and cancer indications in the United States."
About Aethlon Medical, Inc.
Aethlon Medical creates innovative medical devices to address life-threatening diseases. The Aethlon ADAPT™ (Adaptive Dialysis-like Affinity Platform Technology) establishes the basis for a new class of therapeutics that target the rapid elimination of disease enabling particles from the circulatory system of treated patients. The lead Aethlon ADAPT™ product is the Hemopurifier®, a device that addresses a broad-spectrum of viral pathogens as well as tumorsecreted exosomes that suppress the immune system of cancer patients. Aethlon is also operating under two government contracts with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) related the development of a medical device to reduce the incidence of sepsis. Exosome Sciences, Inc. is a majority owned Aethlon subsidiary that is advancing exosome-based strategies to diagnose and monitor cancer and infectious disease progression.

NXT-ID's (OTCQB: NXTD) News: Wocket™ Smart Wallet to be Demonstrated at Event May 28th at Plaza in New York City

SHELTON, Conn. - May 21, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (OTCQB: NXTD) a biometric authentication company focused on the growing m-commerce market announces Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, Inc., will demonstrate the functionality of its next generation smart wallet, Wocket™, designed to replace all the cards in your wallet, at the May 28th launch event at the Plaza in New York City.

The company also releases new product images and videos for the Wocket™ and the Wocket™ card at www.wocketwallet.com
Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, Inc. said, "Wocket™, is a device that contains a single card that is used to make financial transactions and to process information. A user scans their cards directly into wocket with a scanner that we provide. When processing a transaction, the user accesses the touch screen on wocket after first identifying himself or herself through voice authentication or using a PIN. After that it's as simple as pressing the desired button on the touch screen to use the wocketcard, which now has the information from your card of choice. We take a big bulky wallet and turn it into a sleek, secure and simple solution."
"Wocket is very unique in the payment space, different from a mobile wallet, mobile payment app or other multi card consolidators. Wocket is separate from your phone, so you never have to worry about having all that information in the wrong hands, or running out of battery life. We don't just replace your credit cards; we can store up to 10,000 cards – your loyalty cards, coupons, identity cards, basically any card in your wallet. They key is that wocket also stores your cash so it is a complete replacement for your wallet. "
He went on to state, "We are extremely excited to introduce Wocket to the multitude of consumers that are concerned about the safety of their identity and payment. Wocket is a convenient and safer alternative to a traditional wallet."
Media and shareholders wishing to attend the May 28th event can email info@nxt-id.comor call 800 -665-0411 (Limited attendance so registration is required in advance)
Wocket™ Consumer FAQ Hi- lights:
"What is Wocket ™?
Wocket™ is a smart wallet. Like the smart phone and smart watch, NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices.
"What does Wocket™ do?
Wocket™ locks all of your private information in an electronic "vault", where only an authenticated owner can authorize access to the data. Thus, you can "lock it with Wocket™ in your pocket", protecting your private information from unauthorized access.
"What makes Wocket™ smart?
Wocket™ smart wallet protects all of your private information inside an electronic vault while reducing the number of cards in your wallet. Dynamic pairing for authentication and encrypted data transfer with other secondary devices along with a plethora of new, innovative features makes Wocket™ the smartest wallet ever devised.
"How is Wocket™ different from other smart card solutions?
Wocket™ is not a smart card - it is a smart wallet. Thus, it can communicate with smart cards, but is not limited in the number, type, or method of communication of private information that typically restricts the use of a smart card. Furthermore, Wocket™ is not dependent on proximity or any other external factors to secure and choose soft-cards containing private information.
"How is Wocket™ different from other digital wallet solutions?
Rather than replace a wallet as many "digital wallet" technologies attempt to do, we chose to improve the wallet. Unlike other digital wallet solutions that depend on connectivity to choose a payment account, Wocket™ does not depend upon the cloud to select or make a payment.
"Does Wocket™ require another device, such as a cell phone?
No. Although Wocket™ does not require any other peripheral for security or "proximity sensing", Wocket™ can authenticate with secondary devices prior to transaction as an additional step in security as well as utilize a Wocket™ app on other devices to select or manage a soft-card, all without revealing private information.
"How do I access my private information?
A combination of biometrics, personal PIN or pattern provides multi-factor security for your Wocket™. Once Wocket™ verifies your identity, you can simply select whatever soft-card or information you want from the touch screen display, or in some configurations, your voice command.
"How many cards can be securely stored on a Wocket™?
Up to 10,000 cards, records, coupons, etc. and up to 100 voice commands can also be stored on Wocket™. More can be supported with optional additional memory.
The full Wocket product FAQ is available to consumers and media at http://nxt-id.com/wocket-faq/
Product videos can be seen at http://www.wocketwallet.com/

The Wocket will retail for $149.99.

Q&A: Award Winning Movie Producer and Businessman Chad A. Verdi Discusses Hollywood Deals and Tech Investments in Apple and NXT-ID Inc.'s (OTCQB: NXTD) Wocket

NEW YORK and POINT ROBERTS, Washington - May 19, 2014 (Investorideas.com Newswire)
Verdi to Produce/Executive Produce Three Films with Oscar winning Director Martin Scorsese: Star studded actors include Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart and Adam Driver
"You may see a Wocket in a very famous Pocket" - C. Verdi

Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading topics and sectors including technology and entertainment, releases an exclusive Q&A with entrepreneurial movie producer, businessman and investor Chad A. Verdi of Rhode Island.
Mr. Verdi discusses new and recent ventures including new movie deals and his investments in game-changing technologies, including Apple and biometric mobile security company NXT-ID Inc., (OTCQB: NXTD), which is currently preparing to launch its smart wallet, the Wocket™ (www.wocketwallet.com), with advance orders starting May 28th.
Mr. Verdi notes, "I am always looking ahead and I'm never satisfied with 'good enough', My goal is to partner with the best, hire the best talent and invest in leading edge companies. Steve Jobs made Apple known for 'Think different', Richard Branson made his motto, 'Screw it , let's do it' and I live by 'Go big or go home'."
Q&A Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
This past year has already seen you reach some key milestones; making movies with the best in Hollywood, like Martin Scorsese and your investment in NXTD is up over 300 percent in less than a year. What are you most excited about for the balance of this year?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Well, that's a tough one. I guess I am the most excited about NXTD right now, only because they are about to launch the Wocket™ this month. Wocket™ is a smart wallet with a re-programmable single credit card device that operates under a secured system using biometrics.
I feel it will change the way people make credit card payments worldwide. Everyone is trying to get in on this game with mobile payments, mobile wallets, mobile apps like LOOP and COIN. Everyone is trying to figure out the best way to do it. I think Wocket™ has the right approach; separate from your phone. Most people are concerned about what happens if they lose their phone or it gets stolen - what happens with all that payment info on your phone? With Wocket™, it's not a worry because after each transaction it basically goes back to a blank card. Your identity and payment info are safe!
It's great to think I originally invested in this a few years ago and now it may become the leader in the payment sector that I thought it would!
Q: Investorideas.com
In terms of your investments, you invest in both large companies like Apple and Yahoo and other big tech and entertainment companies but you also take risks and invest in smaller companies with emerging technology like NXTD (OTCQB: NXTD). Where do you see the biggest potential pay-off?
A: Chad A. Verdi
I obviously wish I would have had the opportunity to get into Apple from the beginning. I would have bet big on it, just like I have with NXTD (OTCQB: NXTD). Companies that take a different path from what the competition is doing represent the biggest opportunity, if it works.
Steve Jobs set the course for Apple, I still love the company but it's hard to know if the vision will stay intact. NXTD is still young and they are taking a revolutionary approach to payments and identity issues, very different from their competitors and I like that.
In my opinion, I see a big risk/reward opportunity here today because they have a product that every consumer will want and currently needs. The Wocket™ can store over 10,000 credit cards/coupons, under a secured system. It's never been done before. If they are successful in delivering this product; the sky is the limit. They could be the next Apple and that is my second-largest holding.
Q: Investorideas.com
The company stated that they will launch the Wocket™ May 28th at the Plaza Hotel in New York and will be taking advance orders for the Wocket™ once the event is done. Will you be attending and will you be buying one once advance orders are opened up?
A: Chad A. Verdi
For sure I will be there supporting them and seeing first-hand how the Wocket™ is embraced. And of course, I will be buying many, many Wockets™! I will be giving them out to all of my actor and celebrity friends in Hollywood. Soon, you may see a Wocket™ in a very famous pocket! I also love the fact that the company is promoting the Wocket like Apple does with the launch of each IPhone - it's an event. They're running commercials on CNBC news along with using the Plaza hotel for the launch. They are also bringing in Miss Universe as a celebrity guest; it a first-class event.
Q: Investorideas.com
Speaking about Hollywood and movies, you and your wife Michelle are now involved in three projects with Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese and some of the biggest names in Hollywood. According to IMDB you have signed on Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart and Adam Driver. On top of this, I read that you have signed a 10 picture deal with Screen Media films. It seems like you are on fire! How did this all come about?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Yes, it's just nuts, crazy nuts! It all started when Mr. Scorsese and his producing partner Emma Koskoff agreed to join my passion project,' Bleed for This'. My wife Michelle and I met with them a few times in New York and they invited us to the premiere of 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. Then I was asked to get involved with a film called 'Bad Hurt' that was filmed in New York. Soon after that, things just escalated to where Michelle and I agreed to join Marty and Emma in his passion project called 'Silence'. The other two movies include 'The New York Review of Books: A 50 Year Argument' and then we'll produce my passion project, 'Bleed For This', the true-life story of five-time world champion, Rhode Island boxer, Vinny Pazienza.
Q: Investorideas.com
That is exciting and all happening very fast. How many years will it take you to complete these four films and what about the ten picture deal with Screen Media?
A: Chad A. Verdi
That's what's amazing. Eighteen months in regards to the four films: Bad Hurt is in post-production right now along with A 50 Year Argument. Bleed for This and Silence will be filmed this fall with completion dates no later than fall 2015, just in time for the Oscars. As far as the 10 picture deal with Screen Media Films, we are currently filming the first film called 'Almost Mercy' now and expect to release that film in December 2014. Then we begin filming the 2nd film in early 2015. The goal is to meet our obligations on the 10 picture deal prior to 1/1/2018. We are able to facilitate this because we have two production companies, The Woodhaven Production Company and Verdi Productions. Both companies are working separately and independent of one another and this gives us the capacity to handle the volume of projects we are involved with.
