Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (CRWE)

Crown Equity Holdings Inc., together with its digital network, currently provides electronic media services specializing in online publishing, which brings together targeted audiences and advertisers. Crown Equity Holdings Inc. offers internet media-driven advertising services, which covers and connects a range of marketing specialties, as well as search engine optimization for clients interested in online media awareness.

VoIP works over the Internet. The voice, which is in the form of analog signals, is condensed and converted into digital IP packets, which are then transmitted via Internet rather than optical fibers as is the case with traditional public switch telephony network. These IP packets are then later reconverted and condensed before finally reaching the receiver. Since the voice packets are sent via the Internet, the cost of spending thousands of dollars on optical fibers is saved.
VoIP service can be used anywhere and anytime without any geographical constraints. Its mobility has made it the favorite of on-the-run businessmen, who get the advantage of making cheaper calls without any roaming expenses even from some remote destination.

Cleantech Transit Inc. (CLNO)

Cleantech Transit Inc. was founded to capitalize on technology advances and manufacturing opportunities in the growing clean energy public transportation sector. Cleantech Transit Inc has expanded its focus to invest directly in specific green projects that could maximize shareholder value. Recognizing the many economic and operational advances of converting wood waste into renewable sources of energy, Cleantech Transit Inc. has selected to invest in Phoenix Energy (www.phoenixenergy.net).

Using biomass power replaces the need to burn coal to generate electricity. Additionally, the use of biomass power also reduces the need for oil to mine and deliver coal to far off power stations, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Most surprisingly, using wood waste as fuel is actually more beneficial to the environment than allowing it to decompose naturally, because of the elimination of methane during combustion.

Lymphoseek has undergone study in two prospective, well- controlled and designed Phase 3 clinical trials under the direction of nearly 30 investigators in more than 500 patients,” said Rodger A. Brown, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance, of Neoprobe. “We look forward to working in collaboration with the FDA to prepare for its pending review of the NDA.”

Neoprobe Corporation is a biomedical company focused on enhancing oncology patient care and improving patient benefit through radiopharmaceutical product development.
