Cleantech Transit, Inc. (CLNO)

There are many types of biomass plants in the world, and many ways can be used for energy production. In general there are two approaches: growing plants specifically for energy use, and using the residues from plants that are used for other things. The best approaches vary from region to region according to climate, soils, geography, population, and so on.
Energy crops, also called "power crops," can be grown on farms in potentially very large quantities, just like food crops. Trees and grasses, particularly those that are native to a region, are the best crops for energy, but other, less agriculturally sustainable crops such as corn tend to be used for energy purposes at present.

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).

Global Hunter (GBLHF.PK)

Archaeological evidence suggests that people have been using copper for at least 11,000 years. Relatively easy to mine and refine, people discovered methods for extracting copper from its ores at least 7,000 years ago. The Roman Empire obtained most of its copper from the island of Cyprus, which is where copper's name originated. Today, copper is primarily obtained from the ores cuprite (CuO2), tenorite (CuO), malachite (CuO3·Cu(OH)2), chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS) and bornite (Cu6FeS4). Large deposits of copper ore are located in the United States, Chile, Zambia, Zaire, Peru and Canada

Global Hunter's focus is on strategic and base metals, with an advanced stage copper oxide project in Chile and a highly prospective molybdenum property in British Columbia, Canada.

Voice over Internet Protocol, especially residential VoIP has changed the way we communicate. VoIP is an invention that makes it possible to communicate over the internet by transmitting voice in the form of data between two computing endpoints. VoIP has many benefits apart from the convenience it offers. Initially, when broadband was not common at homes, VoIP was not able to attract its home based users. Now as the number of residential broadband users has increased this is the best possible way for the users to talk to their family and friends located far away. There are many benefits of VoIP service as compared to the traditional analogue or mobile phones.

Today, Newport News Shipbuilding is the birthplace of the U.S. Navy’s nuclear fleet.

Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, the shipyard’s vast facilities span more than 550 acres along two miles of waterfront on the historic James River. We are the largest industrial employer in Virginia, employing more than 20,000 people, many of whom are third and fourth generation shipbuilders.
