MAJESTIC GOLD CORP (MJGCF.PK)
Gold's great virtues of malleability, ductility, reflectivity, resistance to corrosion and unparalleled ability as a thermal and electrical conductor mean it is used in a wide variety of industrial applications.
The prime use is in electronics. Our age of high technology finds it indispensable in everything from pocket calculators to computers, washing machines to television and missiles to spacecraft. The rocket engines of American space shuttles are lined with gold-brazing alloys to reflect heat, and the lunar modules of the Apollo program that put men on the moon were shrouded with gold foil acting as a radiation shield. More commonly, the humble touch telephone in your home typically contains 33 gold-plated contacts.

Global Hunter Corp. (GBLHF.PK)
Molybdenum is generally alloying element with steel in order to make that steel stronger. In fact, when molybdenum is added to even small steel concentrations, the result is an ultra-high-strength steel that will maintain structural stability when placed under pressures reaching as high as 300,000 lbs/sq. in. Theses massive levels of strength do not deteriorate in high temperatures, making steel molybdenum alloys viable materials for missile and aircraft parts.

The mission of Gilead Sciences is to advance the care of patients suffering from life-threatening diseases worldwide. Headquartered in Foster City, California, Gilead Sciences has operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Gilead Sciences first entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Tibotec for the development and commercialization of the Eviplera single-tablet regimen in July 2009. The product received regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the trade name Complera™ (emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) in August 2011.
Gilead Sciences yesterday announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency, has adopted a positive opinion on the company’s Marketing Authorisation Application for the once-daily single-tablet regimen, Eviplera®, combining Gilead Sciences' Truvada® (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil (as fumarate)) with Tibotec Pharmaceuticals’ non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor Edurant® (rilpivirine (as hydrochloride)) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in antiretroviral-naïve adults with a viral load less than or equal to 100,000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL.
The CHMP’s positive recommendation will be reviewed by the European Commission, which has the authority to approve medicinal products for use in the 27 countries of the European Union (EU). Gilead Sciences expects the European Commission to issue its decision on the marketing authorization for the Eviplera single-tablet regimen later this year.

Enzo Biochem Inc. (ENZ)
Biotechnology has been considered with respect to two characteristics: obtaining the best catalyst and the best environment. The most effective, stable and convenient form for the biocatalyst is a whole organism. In most cases, this could be some type of microbe like bacterium, yeast, or mold. Originally, these microorganisms were extracted from the natural environment, but today, scientists can genetically alter these into superior organisms. This is a practice that is being carried out by most biological-based industries and is direct result of the close cooperation between technologists and geneticists.
Enzo Biochem, Inc., is a growth-oriented integrated life sciences and biotechnology company focused on harnessing biological process to develop research tools, diagnostics and therapeutics, and serves as a provider of test services, including exotic tests, to the medical community.

Gold, or Au, on the periodic table of elements, has an atomic number of 79. Gold can be combined with other metals to create stronger alloys, perfect for jewelry. In larger quantities gold appears yellow, but it can be alloyed for color changes as well. Gold is unaffected by air and most reagents (meaning it does not tarnish). It is a good conductor of electricity, and also of heat. According to the World Gold Council, gold is also used in other industries such as biomedical, dental, environmental, fuel cells, nanotechnology, photography and aerospace.

Voice over Internet Protocol popularly known as VoIP has been around for more than a decade. Early on, VoIP had a reputation for being unreliable, and was considered unsuitable for business use.

Its reliability has improved tremendously, and Voice over Internet Protocol is readily available as a service from providers all over the world. Some companies have branches all over the world and some companies may have clients all over the world and to help them the invention of VoIP has become a benefit to business people where the cost of making a long distance call is very low compared to traditional phone charges.
