Ecrypt Technologies, Inc. (ECRY) Tackles IT Security and Compliance Challenges

It has been estimated that about half of an organization’s value is derived from the information in its storage banks. Should this information be compromised, the results could be disastrous for a company. It could result in reduced stock prices, non-compliance fines or loss of trust in management, all of which can hit a company’s bottom-line hard.

Considering that most data breaches are caused by human error, negligence or criminal attack, Ecrypt Technologies is mindful that an organization’s network is only as strong as its weakest link. To reduce the risk that potential weak links pose, Ecrypt offers security consulting services designed to help organizations secure their information systems and overcome compliance challenges.

By considering not only security needs but business goals as well, Ecrypt provides website solutions that secure its clients’ information systems. Such solutions are built with optimal security and organizational control in mind. Whatever the challenge, need, size or industry, Ecrypt’s expert consultants will work closely with a client to develop a specialized solution.

The Ecrypt team asks lots of open-ended questions and investigates answers from new perspectives in order to hone in on a client’s problem, uncover vital insights and propose the right solution. Some of the company’s security solutions include:

•           Evaluating existing security practices and technologies and providing recommendations for improvement;

•           Identifying technical security risks and threats and translating them into the context of business risks and threats;

•           Determining areas of the greatest concern for an organization and devising suggestions for improvement;

•           Planning security initiatives, such as qualifying and installing a new technology or implementing new policies; and

•           Training its clients’ personnel on security policies, procedures, and the best practices.

Oriens Travel & Hotel Management (OTHM) President Shares Growth Strategy and Outlook for the Future

Ken Chua, president of Oriens Travel & Hotel Management, today shared a comprehensive update via a corporate blog post. We have posted the message below in its entirety.

Fellow Shareholders of Oriens Travel & Hotel Management,

Today it gives us great pleasure to inform you all that our trip to Costa Rica [last week] was much more successful than we could have ever imagined it would be. That visit helped us to solidify what we have envisioned could be our role in the rapidly growing tourist destination market of Central America’s Jaco Beach, in beautiful Costa Rica.

Last week, we released press indicating that we’d be making this unscheduled update. The reason being, while the team and I were in Costa Rica, something unexpectedly happened. We were graciously welcomed by some of the Country’s larger financial players in their offerings to us… opportunities not originally anticipated while on our trip. It completely changed the scope and purpose of our visit, laying the foundation for what we are about to do.

Through newly forged relationships, OTHM has begun to cultivate opportunities that have already begun to change the corporate paradigm; dramatically evolving our financial structure and economic outlook. In principle, we have added millions of dollars in hard asset values and secured three additional real estate prospects – all of which we expect to finally be able to make official announcements for and provide pictures. We have aligned ourselves with suitable, traditional, asset based lenders, which have afforded us the ability to establish a viable and achievable economic growth plan for our Company, in both Central America and the U.S. Having already obtained smaller, non-toxic, bridge capital financing through our Costa Rican partners, we have begun to leverage new banking relationships which have afforded us the ability to meet certain local obligations.

Our soon to be launched new FROL (Friendly Reservation Online) system has tentatively found an outlet whereby it will have the ability to begin booking stays for approximately 200 units in Costa Rica. Based on current discussions, this number has the potential to double within the next year [2015]. While this will not always be the case, in this particular instance, where FROL goes, our management operations will follow.

The soon to be newly launched, branding and management program of Hotel PURE, will take center stage… and not just in Jaco – although this is where we will begin. We do expect to rapidly ramp up operations with the assistance of our newly forming alliances.

Further, due to our inherently deep connections in China – with affluent investors – we have in principle, struck a relationship with a well-heeled investor, to assist with the sales of the higher-end properties. These properties will become a part of the FROL roster, if these buyers wish to monetize their investments.

Of course, in all cases, we will still have to prove ourselves to the market’s major players. To this, we have a long way to go, with a lot of work ahead of us. However, the opportunity to do all of this, has been sincerely extended to us.

This good fortune my friends, is due to our strong associated partnership with a well-respected and highly valued participant in the R.E. and hospitality markets within this country.
Amongst several acquisitions slated to be made by the close of summer, if all goes well and according to plan, we are soon to make a significantly positive adjustment to our overall organization.

We will bring on a new executive/director (Costa Rican born native) to assist us in navigating the real estate market, as well as grow our online electronic booking engine. We will also look to make very positive cap table modifications to prepare for significantly anticipated value-add opportunities. Such value-add opportunities include seven figure traditional bridge capital financing, eight figure non-toxic equity financing, corporate acquisitions, managerial add-ons, and most important… an increased value in our actual and projected financials. Preparations would also include deepening the pending authorized share reduction, reducing/adjusting/exchanging current outstanding toxic related debt and organizing our cap table in such a way that it is better reflective of our true intrinsic value.

These exciting times will be attached to an audit we expect to get underway shortly. The auditing task will be headed by the firm of Malone & Bailey; once the engagement has been formally consummated by payment. We also anticipate naming a new CFO to assist with this process, as well as broadening our legal team to help effectuate various structural options – such as the “up-list,” shareholder warrants, rights offerings, and other beneficial processes. The intent is to quail dilution, while securing capital in hopes of spawning financial growth by turning over a nice piece of these mechanics to shareholders.

If all continues on the current path, and we are successful with reaching our milestones, I can almost assure our stakeholders, we will be a completely different organization by the close of this year [2014]. We will be a significantly more valuable company by 2016 and certainly, should all come to pass… recognized as a major player within the next 24 months. Our goal is to build a valuable portfolio of real estate, establish a household brand and develop a regional booking engine platform that can be spun out and sold to the Expedia/Priceline’s of the World.

Along the way, we will make decisions that are good, bad and/or indifferent. We will however strive to make many of our stakeholders happy most of the times, doing our very best to limit disappointing moments to a very few passing memories. Everything we will embark upon at Oriens over the next three months, will be for the greater good of the company and overall value of our shareholders for years to come.

Please understand, every acquisition will come with new demands. Every financing will be accompanied by some cost. But at least my friends, we have come to a place where these considerations are real and present, and we gladly welcome the challenge! This team and our shareholders have come a long way together.

If there is anything our original merger/acquisition prospect taught us, it’s just how easily the ground can shift right under your feet. Therefore, our next few upcoming announcements are aimed to be predominately event driven. This is exciting for us, as we most certainly would like to limit the “forward looking” nonsense and stick to delivering actual and quantifiable business achievements.

If all continues well…, and we close out this week as anticipated…, we believe that the next few announcements over the upcoming two weeks, will awe and amaze.

On behalf of Oriens and our team, we thank you very much for all of your support.

How Predictive Text Innovator WordLogic Corp. (WLGC) Can Capitalize on Booming Mobile Ad Market

Global paid search growth soared through the first half of 2014, according to the most recent quarterly analysis of paid search investment by search marketing agency Covario. The big bucks were spent in mobile search advertising, which nearly doubled (+98%) in Q2 2014. Tablets contributed 62% of Q2 mobile spend, with smartphones filling out the remaining 38%. According to eMarketer projections, the U.S. mobile advertising market is just heating up, forecast to total $17.7 billion this year, a tremendous leap over the $7.1 billion recorded in 2013.

Leveraging its patent-pending Reach™ technology, predictive text innovator WordLogic Corp. has assumed an advantageous position in the massive global pay-per-click (PPC) advertising market. The company’s REACH ™ technology provides context-aware search, including advertising search, within every app used through the WordLogic predictive keyboard.

For the consumer, the technology breeds online efficiency by eliminating the need to exit core applications or navigate through numerous applications to obtain directions, merchant listings, ratings and reviews, travel information and other related information from Google or other mobile and content sites. So if you’re trying to find the phone number of a place to order food while texting a friend, REACH™ technology can help you get that information without ever leaving the texting app.

The capability to deliver precise and timely, context-based and location-aware marketing messages also gives WordLogic an upper hand among advertisers and marketers, offering the potential to generate incremental advertising and marketing revenue straight from mobile or tablet touch screen keyboards without the need for additional applications or external technologies.

Without compromising privacy, REACH™ allows users’ existing texts to be analyzed for contextual data to indicate what they are talking about as well as the location of where they are talking about it. The technology then provides relevant information about deals related to what the user is texting about – and this is where PPC comes in to play. Using our prior scenario as an example, if the user sends a text to a coworker about stopping by the dry cleaner’s and a coffee shop en route to a business meeting, REACH™ reads the text and suggests relevant information or ads about nearby deals related to dry cleaning and/or coffee.

To further these capabilities, WordLogic is developing a version of its award winning iKnowU keyboard that integrates REACH ™ Advertising Search to create new revenue opportunities through partnerships with online deal consolidators and providers that offer local deals across North America.

With a network of the most popular deal sites gathering more than 30,000 offers per month, REACH™ users will have direct access to money-saving deals within their email or text messaging applications. These valuable partnerships provide incredible revenue opportunities for advertisers and marketers while allowing users to enjoy deals that they might not have previously been aware of.

WordLogic continues to pursue expansion of its portfolio of partnerships, which currently includes the Groupon Partner Network and Yellow Pages, to identify unique prospects for revenue growth and intuitive accessibility for its users.

Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (RRHI) Acquisition of Derbyshire Stone Quarry Paves Way for New Opportunity

Raptor Resources Holdings has consistently demonstrated its ability to meet corporate objectives, and in line with its broader growth initiatives recently acquired the Derbyshire Stone Quarry located in Zimbabwe. On par with Raptor’s track record, the stone quarry was able to meet its 2013 goals to improve production efficiencies and inventory management, reduce costs, and streamline its administrative operations. This acquisition positions Raptor to take advantage of an expected increase in road construction demand in the next 12-18 months.

Derbyshire is operated by Raptor’s strategic partner WGB Kinsey & Company, which over the course of nearly 60 years of business in construction and mining has amassed an extensive fleet of mining equipment to systematize rapid development and production. WGB Kinsey also manages Raptor’s Dodge Mine and Raptor Mine located in Zimbabwe.

In 2013, Derbyshire generated unaudited revenues of $2.9 million, an increase of 32% over the prior year. The stone quarry produces low-cost, quality sand and stone for the construction industry and has become the largest indigenous sand and stone quarry in the Harare area, the capital of Zimbabwe.

Harare is a bustling city of approximately 2.8 million people in its metropolitan area, Zimbabwe’s leading hub for financial, commercial, communications and trade. In 2012, plans were drafted to build a new capital district less than 13 miles northwest of Harare’s central business district, adding to the area’s commerce and transport capabilities.

As the area continues to expand, Derbyshire maintains a well-stocked inventory of sand and stone to quickly fulfill orders as well as meet future regional demands for improved transport infrastructure. These capabilities are aligned with Raptor’s mission to grow organically and through the acquisition of seasoned mining and mineral assets.

Mabwe Minerals Inc. (MBMI) Accessing Rich Markets through Strategic Partnerships

Mabwe Minerals, a subsidiary of Raptor Resources Holdings, finds its endeavors focused on mining and selling barite and various other minerals in today’s marketplace. Dodge Mine at Shamva, Zimbabwe is where the company is fully engaged in production operations. Positioned on a hydrothermal mountain range bearing superior-grade barite, the mine also has a wealth of limestone and talc.

The property comprises 2.33 million square meters spanning across several mountain ranges. Gravity mapping of the mine uncovers vast barite, limestone and talc deposits across the project along with considerable gossan deposits indicating the likelihood of copper, zinc, nickel and gold. Gossan is recognized as a rust-colored deposit of mineral matter at the offshoot of a vein containing iron-bearing materials.

Dodge Mine’s barite is considered by many as being world-class in its composition. Its white barite samples attained a score of 97.25% pure barium sulfate (BaSO4). Its pink and brown barite samples scored 95.5%. The mine’s world-class barite allows for a wide range of marketable opportunities, including the market’s demand for weighting agents used during oil and gas drilling to prevent well blowouts and shaft collapses. Other barite applications show promise for being used as an automotive, medical diagnostic, heavy concrete and paint pigment component.

Leveraging partnerships, Mabwe Minerals gains access to customers who are willing to pay a premium for higher grade barite. Further, the company is well positioned to support an expanding customer base and several growing user groups including Europe and the Middle East. The company has also gained a market foothold with the growing demands of the oil and gas sector off the Mozambique and South Africa coast.

The company’s executive team is headed by Al Pietrangelo, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Pietrangelo has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. since 2011. He held the same titles with TAG Minerals Inc. since 2010 and Mabwe Minerals Inc. since 2012. Mr. Pietrangelo has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of South Florida.

Innocent Inc. (INCT) Files to Change Name to Panther Energy

Today before the opening bell, Innocent announced that it is in the process of changing its corporate name to Panther Energy. The new name better reflects the company’s focus on the oil and gas sector.

CEO Patrick Johnson stated, “Just as we have added several important industry leaders to our advisory board, the name change is part of our overall strategy to grow a successful E&P energy company. Our company will continue to operate in its current structure, but we will be using new email addresses with the new PantherEnergyInc.com web domain to reflect and strengthen the Panther Energy brand. The Innocent Inc. website will soon be taken down and prior e-mail addresses will be forwarded to our new Panther Energy email addresses.”

Panther Energy is a development stage oil and gas exploration and production company focused on developing properties in North America. To minimize the risk of exploration and maximize profit, the company plans to develop proved petroleum reserves and strategically develop and liquidate selected oil and gas properties. Panther Energy will focus on acquiring low risk, high upside properties coupled with substantial exploration potential. Through improvements in oil and gas production technologies, the company seeks to rapidly increase production levels and generate predictable, sustainable value.

Seeking Addiction Treatment in Nevada

Nevada is wrestling with high addiction rates. The state is not only battling gambling addiction but also alcohol abuse, drug misuse and the resulting social, criminal and health problems. These include an increase in drunken driving, sexual assault and domestic violence incidents as well as rising health-related costs from liver disease, heart problems, cancers and injuries caused by drunk-driving accidents and alcohol-related violence.

There is little denying that Nevada is well-known for vice and excess. Coined “America’s adult playground,” the state offers visitors and residents lots of opportunities to let go of their inhibitions and indulge in gambling, drinking, drugs and adult entertainment. Fortunes can be made or lost with the roll of a die or turn of a card at any of the many casinos on and off the Las Vegas Strip. Highs can be chased with the abundant amounts of alcohol served at the numerous bars or with illegal drugs (methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine, among others) that traffickers peddle aggressively throughout the state. People can briefly escape their realities by engaging with whatever adult entertainment, also readily available, that catches their fancy.

It is little surprise that the ups and downs of Nevada’s culture lead to heavy drinking and drug use which eventually leads to addiction among the populace. It is surprising that those who decide to quit their addiction, the first big step towards recovery, and who should receive the best care available are in serious need of effective alcohol and drug treatment services.

According to statistics by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, alcohol dependence rates in Nevada have remained within or above the national rate for years; this applies to all age groups surveyed. The study also reported that Nevadans who require alcohol or drug treatment receive it within or well below the national rate.

Very recently, Addiction Recovery Centers, a market leader in addiction treatment and recovery programs, gained an exclusive license to distribute BioCorRx Inc. (OTCQB: BICX) Start Fresh Program in Nevada. This program’s introduction to Nevadan individuals and families wrangling with alcoholism and illegal drug addiction is encouraging news. There is now hope, and it is to be expected that the program will have a positive impact on the affected individuals and families and that Nevada’s medical community will openly embrace it.

Big Tree Group, Inc. (BIGG) Strategically Located for Future Growth Opportunities

Building on top of a robust performance in 2013, Big Tree Group continues to make progress in its bid to reach a new record of strong financial growth. In recent months, the company has been steadily moving forward to strengthen its global toy distribution footprint. Growing regional markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia have proven to be attractive targets for the company, on account of their expected strong economic growth in coming years.

In December of last year, Big Tree Group announced plans to open a toy sales and distribution center in Thailand. The company had signed an agreement for planned leasing of an approximately 4,000-square-meter showroom, which it anticipates will be instrumental in establishing key sales relationships and capitalizing on the rapid toy industry growth in this global region. Asia is currently in the Top Three largest regional markets for global toy sales, but industry experts anticipate its emergence as an even bigger powerhouse within this decade.

At the end of July 2014, Big Tree Group announced a company development which signified progress in its efforts at Latin American market expansion. Big Tree Group received purchase orders valued at $400,000 from an operator of retail stores in Costa Rica. The purchase orders called for toy products ranging from electronic learning games and instruments to play sets and dolls. Big Tree Group saw the development as a validation of its diligent international expansionary efforts focusing on aggressive value pricing. Big Tree Group reportedly also sees significant opportunities for future purchase orders with this retail chain operator.

Aside from growing its footholds in these regional markets, Big Tree Group has been growing its strong customer base in other parts of Asia and Europe, as well as its market base in China. To these ends, the company is strategically positioned with its headquarters in Shantou City, China, a location known as the toy capital of the world. At its two expansive showrooms in Shantou City, Big Tree Group runs sizable orders fulfillment and global combined shipping operations, where it functions as an authorized agent for over 8,000 toy manufacturers in China. The company offers more than 300,000 varieties of different toy products, ranging from remote control toys, digital toys, and sports toys to play sets, educational toys, dolls, and infant toys.

NutraNomics, Inc. (NNRX) Demonstrates Ability to Weather Common Industry Windfalls

The global supplements market is on track to hit $93.1 billion next year and is forecast to then continue to mount to $107 billion by 2017. Success for supplement manufacturers and distributors in this competitive market lies in their ability to outlast short sales cycles, to educate consumers on the value of the products, and the capacity to ride-out “fads” and instead create long-term appeal.

Since 1995, NutraNomics has worked to achieve this success, positioned at the forefront of research and development of nutritional food products to become a globally distributed brand in the manufacture of safe, high-quality vitamins and supplements. The company has established salesforces in the United States, Canada, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Korea and Poland.

Seeing itself as more than just a health supplement manufacturer, NutraNomics has assumed the role of supporting a healthy lifestyle by addressing individuals that require a specialized diet to sustain optimal health, offering a line of healthy solutions supplements for a range of indications such as high blood pressure, diabetes, ADHD, hypoglycemia, lupus, multiple sclerosis, eczema and a host of others. These whole food supplements are designed to be taken on a regular basis to work in conjunction with certain dietary practices that contribute to overall lifestyle enhancement. By offering products designed for long-term health rather than fad diets or groupthink, NutraNomics has the ability to weather short-lived trends and sales cycles.

Awareness of proper nutrition is of incredible importance here, and NutraNomics aims to increase human health and longevity not only through its supplements, but through education and awareness that the individual is responsible for their own health through moderate diets, exercise, and proper supplementation. To this accord, the company has developed a DVD series for in home education on lifestyle, dietary supplements, exercise and green living, as well as educational health books such as “My Home Pharmacy” and “Enzyme Power,” both written by NutraNomics CEO Tracy K. Gibbs.

In its nearly 20-year history, NutraNomics has built a portfolio of trademarks, trade names and patents, including: NNI®, NutraNomics®, HEC®, Health Education Corporation®, AES® and Assimilation Enhancing System®. NutraNomics is a trademark of Health Education Corporation (HEC), founded in 1995. HEC® is now the educational portion of the company and provides health, wellness, nutrition and other types of industry-relevant education.

The multi-pronged strategy for sustainability has shown measurable results. In its first three quarters (Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2014) as a public company, NutraNomics recorded an increase of 27% in wholesale and retail sales. With the upfront costs of emerging on the public scene behind it, the company is able to fully focus on increasing performance and market expansion strategies for continued success.

LD Holdings, Inc. (LDHL) Develops Unique Business Plan

LD Holdings is in the business of acquiring profitable baby boomer-owned businesses with brand equity, quality personnel and management, $2 – $20 million in revenues, and the prospect of creating a portfolio that will yield great venture capital returns with minimal venture capital risk.

The company’s business model is aimed at a large business-owning segment of the population, which it believes is financially underserved in these unusual economic times. The company means to effect a comparable growth and acquisitions strategy as those used by established public companies and other large cap institutions.

LD Holdings is focusing on the $2 to $20 million sales sector for a reason. Because of the difficulty of financing and little competition in this area, there are many opportunities for buying at great value. There are also numerous value drivers:

1.         One value driver is the ability to bring together smaller illiquid, non-transparent private companies and build larger public company groups, which will allow for higher valuations because of the growth in size.

2.         A second is that valuation differences between private and public companies in the small company sector are two to three times higher for public companies.

3.         A third value driver is to bring in younger, entrepreneurial, and highly motivated leaders to replace the retiring owners, a move which will drive organic growth through the use of the latest technology and marketing and sales skills.

The company’s early focus will be on four broad business sectors that can help it meet its goal of doubling each acquired company’s value over a three to five year time period: (a) Finance and Business Services; (b) Entertainment and Media; (c) Outdoor Services; and (d) Surface Finishing.

LD Holdings is in the initial stages of implementing its business plan to draw small baby boomer business owners, younger entrepreneurial leaders, and financial investors together. The company currently has a database of 250,000 potential companies, 800 entrepreneurial leaders, and a growing number of institutional and non-institutional investors.

SeeThruEquity Initiates Coverage of 5BARz International, Inc. (BARZ) with $0.40 Price Target

5BARz International, developers of the patented 5BARz™ Network Extender, a cellular network booster unit which beautifully patches holes in carrier’s cellular networks (extending the reach of high-quality signal coverage via a sleek little plug and play device), has a last mile mobile connectivity business model so good that the company has now attracted the attention of smallcap/microcap focused research firm, SeeThruEquity. BARZ’s proprietary, carrier-grade 5BARz Network Extender solution helps bring solid data, video and voice connections to an entire space that has been historically plagued by coverage gaps too logistically difficult or downright expensive for carriers to fix.

SeeThruEquity is noted for their unbiased equity research and so the announcement that they have initiated coverage on BARZ ($0.235/share), with a price target of $0.40/share, is great news to both shareholders and savvy investors alike. SeeThruEquity is approved to get their content into the likes of Thomson One Analytics (First Call), Capital IQ, and Zacks. With a limited distribution to a set of opt-in investors and because they do not do any investment banking or commission-based work, SeeThruEquity is widely perceived to be one of the top, genuinely independent research shops in the game today.

The 5Barz Network Extender represents a new paradigm for indoor mobile and limited coverage areas, and part of the exciting story behind the company’s continually evolving technology is the ongoing collaboration with a top-five global wireless carrier announced last year in April. This collaboration saw much fanfare and attention for the company’s hardware at the Mobile World Congress back in February and BARZ is all lined up to ship four custom units, designed to meet specific requirements of this wireless network operator, out for testing by the third quarter this year. The operator has developed a comprehensive series of testing protocols for the custom carrier-grade builds based on BARZ’s core technology and confidence is running high that the relationship will mature to the point where the 5BARz solution will become a primary staple of this operator’s network hardware footprint.

The appeal of a booster node solution like this is immense for carriers, especially considering how easy it will be to deploy a network-wide implementation. The ability to ensure seamless connectivity for cellular users with a highly localized, efficient, standalone device-based methodology starts to make the age-old problem of poor cellular signal coverage actually look like a growth market. The small office, home and broader mobile spaces addressed by the 5BARz Network Extender are vast and the attrition rate alone globally (roughly 3%), due to poor signal quality, looks to be around a potential $27B market for BARZ.

Telecoms are either already beating a path to the company’s door or they haven’t caught on and soon will be. With a commercial device set to drop in 2015, BARZ is already hard at work putting together the preliminary intelligence and connections needed to support their international expansion ambitions. The plan for BARZ is to target regions globally which have considerable upside for the technology’s roll out and to create strong local management teams leading an array of subsidiaries on a per-region basis, as well as to continue winning over big carriers.

SeeThruEquity was keen to point out the recent appointments by BARZ to their Board in the coverage announcement, citing in particular the new CTO, Naresh Sony, a former CTO for $1.8B market cap mobile technology and patent monetization house, InderDigital. Also noted by SeeThruEquity was the appointment of Dr. Gil Amelio to the Chairman slot. Dr. Amelio is a high-profile industry veteran who previously held the CEO position at sector juggernauts like Apple and National Semiconductor (acquired by Texas Instruments), as well as serving on the Board over at AT&T. Some serious firepower for a relatively little company like BARZ and a very strong signal to markets that these guys mean business.

Innocent, Inc. (INCT) Shares in Wyoming’s Long Energy History

The state of Wyoming is home to the prolific Powder River Basin, a source of much of America’s coal, gas, and oil, and central to Innocent, Inc., development stage oil and gas exploration and production company. The state has had a long and interesting fossil fuel history, and remains an important player when it comes to American energy. Phil Roberts, Associate Professor of History at the University of Wyoming, shows how the state has been vital to this country’s energy industry in his online History of Oil in Wyoming chapter (http://dtg.fm/B4sS).

Among the things he covers is how oil was being drilled in Wyoming as early as the mid-1880s, back when oil was sold primarily as a lubricant and as a source of kerosene for lighting. Significant oil strikes continued to be made in the state, and production really took off when what had been considered a waste by-product, gasoline, was suddenly in high demand as a fuel for the burgeoning auto industry. And it wasn’t just cars. He points out how, in 1910, the U.S.S. Cheyenne (originally the U.S.S. Wyoming) became the first ship in the American fleet to be converted from coal to oil. As demand for oil grew, refineries became prevalent in the state and, by the early 1920s, Wyoming had the largest gasoline producing refinery in the world. He goes on to show how, today, Wyoming’s Powder River Basin continues to take center stage, with new-technology coal-bed methane causing an economic boom for parts of the state.

Innocent, Inc. is focused on parts of the Powder River Basin where the objective oil-bearing formations are less than 2,500 feet below the surface, though other prospective areas in Wyoming and South Dakota will also be studied. Prospects are to be direct offsets to former production or to wells with very good oil and gas shows, and will involve secondary recovery techniques along with new methods of radial horizontal drilling.

Great Plains Holdings Inc. (GTPH) Couples Diversity and Growth

Great Plains Holdings, based in central Florida, is focused on acquiring controlling stakes in small to middle market companies in North American manufacturing, consumer products, distribution, real estate, and business services. The company’s success is based on the fact that the baby-boom generation includes many owners of privately held companies, people now seeking to sell part or all of their holdings. But finding buyers with enough money is often difficult. Great Plains, by making acquisitions in the form of common stock offerings, solves the problem for sellers.

The diversity potential of the company is illustrated by their two current wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ashland Holdings LLC, focused on commercial real estate, and LiL Marc Inc., makers of a training urinal for toddler boys.

Ashland Holdings engages in the development, investment, ownership, and management of properties such as self-storage facilities, apartment buildings, Triple Net properties, 55+ senior manufactured homes communities, and other income producing properties.
Their business plan is to invest in real estate markets in the southeast, south, and midwestern United States. The subsidiary’s current portfolio includes a 1,400-square-foot corporate office building; an 800-square-foot warehouse for LiL Marc operations; and two adjacent parcels of land, one of which includes a manufactured home that is rented out for additional income. Ashland Holdings was founded in 2013.

LiL Marc, Inc. manufactures and markets toilet-training devices for boys primarily in the United States. It offers the patented LiL Marc plastic urinal used in the potty training of young boys. The company sells its products through its website at www.LiLMarc.com and at select retail outlets throughout the United States. In conjunction with the roll-out of an aggressive marketing campaign for the product, Great Plains is building a client list of retailers with brick and mortar stores and other consumer outlets to participate in the broader retail market. With advertising strategies in place, the company envisions growth and widespread distribution of the LiL Marc training urinal. LiL Marc was founded in 1999.

Zenosense, Inc. (ZENO) Begins Development of Lung Cancer Detection Device

Today before the opening bell, healthcare technology company Zenosense announced development efforts will commence on a detection device for lung cancer. Zenosense will be partnering with Sgenia, its development partner for an MRSA detection device, in these development operations. Full details are given in Zenosense’s Form 8-k, filed on July 24, 2014.

The device calls for similar technology and principles (e.g., VOC signature detection) that are being used in the MRSA device. A revised development budget for both devices will require $1.41 million on top of the $527k that already has been spent. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States; a low five-year survival rate of 16% is due largely to late-stage diagnosis. Lung cancer is also difficult to diagnose, as it requires several types of tests for confirmation. Among other tests, for instance, a doctor can refer a patient for an expensive tomography scan, followed by a biopsy for a definitive conclusion.

With Sgenia, Zenosense believes there is potential for the device that has the capacity to detect lung cancer in its earlier stages. Sgenia’s patent-pending sensory technology opens up potential for the device to be manufactured with standard components and to offer it at lower cost. Substantial progress already has been made on the MRSA device. In development operations of both devices, there is a top-tier development team in place, consisting of experts in nanotechnology, sensors, high-level mathematics, molecular biology, and biochemistry.

The lung cancer device could be deployed to healthcare settings, where patients could undergo a breathing test on the device as an indicator test of lung cancer, whether they are symptomatic or undergoing a routine medical examination. Zenosense anticipates that the device would be more effective in lung cancer detection than a tomography scan.

As R&D moves forward, Zenosense has put collaborations and partnerships in place with hospitals, universities, and a private laboratory in the fields of sensors, polymer electrochemistry, microbiology, infectious disease, pneumology, chromatography, and microorganism identification. Sgenia is also in talks with a prestigious hospital in Madrid, which has conducted substantial trials on cancer VOCs and there has access to significant data that directly applies to development of a lung cancer-detecting device.

Mobile Lads Corp. (MOBO) Targets Key Niches in Wireless Transaction Security

The ease of electronic and mobile commerce creates an incredible convenience to consumers, many of which, however, neglect to safeguard their data when they checkout online. The result is billions in financial losses and a significant need for new technologies to circumvent credit card fraud and ensure legitimate, secure payment transactions.

An estimated 16.6 million people in the United States experienced at least one incident of identity theft in 2012, wreaking financial havoc of $24.7 billion, according to the most recent statistics from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The same report shows that victims of such crimes didn’t even realize their data had been compromised until they were contacted by their financial institution.

Florida-based Mobile Lads operates within this realm of wireless transactions with its line of patented mobile authentication products designed to thwart credit card fraud and resulting identity theft in the consumer finance, web and health payment processing sectors.

Mobile Lads’ technologies give users control over the authorization process when making purchases, mitigating the risk for fraudulent activity. The company’s xmVerify platform uses top-of-the-line cryptographic services and sends users a transaction authorization request via mobile phone to ensure authenticity. Only at the user’s approval will the transaction be completed.

Similarly, the xmBilling platform addresses provides a convenient and secure way to review and authorize automatic billing transactions, easing the challenges and security risks associated with automated and volume-based billing.

Between 2001 and 2011, enrollment among degree-granting educational institutions increased 32% to 21.0 million, according to data from the Institute of Education Sciences. Given the increasing numbers of enrollment, Mobile Lads identified incredible potential to offer its secure wireless transactions to students and their parents.

While most universities and colleges operate a campus card system using ID cards in lieu of debit or cards, certain restrictions hamper its efficiency. In these “flex-dollar” accounts, money must be transferred into the campus system within operating hours of the campus card office; withdrawn using costly automatic deposit machines; or online, which posts risk if the student is using a public computer.

Mobile Lads’ xmOne mobile platform is an alternative solution that provides encrypted mobile services such as top-up, payment processing, emergency notification and marketing. The product interfaces with a school’s existing campus card account system to enable students to perform a variety of banking transactions directly from their cell phones.

In an increasingly mobile-dependent consumer environment, Mobile Lads is uniquely positioned to benefit from three niches in need of secure payment and billing options.

P2 Solar, Inc. (PTOS) Powering Clean Energy Solutions to Global Environmental Challenges

Fossil fuels continue to dominate the global electricity supply market, and global concerns over the environmental and human population risks posed by this heavy consumption have grown. Nowadays, 68% of the world’s electricity supply is generated with fossil fuels, according to the International Energy Agency. As a result, many public and private sector organizations have been looking at clean energy technologies as alternative sources for electricity generation.

Renewable energy developer P2 Solar has been promoting clean energy solutions to these growing global challenges. The company is focused on developing solar photovoltaic (PV) power and small-hydro projects in countries where renewable energy policies are highly favorable. P2 Solar has been aggressively moving forward in its development efforts, as it hopes to develop 150 MWp of electricity-generating capacity within the next few years.

At present, P2 Solar holds three clean energy projects in its portfolio: the British Columbia-based Langley Rooftop Project; and the Rajgarh Mini-Hydro Project and the Tibba Mini-Hydro Project, both of which are located in Punjab, India. P2 Solar anticipates when both of its small-hydro projects are fully operational, they will generate more than $700,000 in annual revenue. As it continues to make strong progress on these projects, the company is constantly searching for additional promising opportunities to expand its global footprint.

In a recent headline, P2 Solar announced a significant company development in regard to its Rajgarh project. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary in India inked a power purchase agreement with a Punjab energy distributor, which was the culmination of years of due diligence and other company efforts. The purchase agreement provides a 35-year payment term at an approximate tariff of $0.10 (USD). P2 Solar anticipates the agreement will generate a steady cash flow for future company initiatives. P2 Solar had previously signed an implementation agreement with the Punjab Energy Development Agency, Punjab state’s governing authority on all renewable energy projects, for permission to use the canalled water.

As global trends shift more toward renewable energy sources, P2 Solar plans to remain ahead of the curve, identifying and engaging in development of clean energy projects for meeting the increasing energy demand. On top of its current momentum, P2 Solar is buoyed by the insights and expertise of a savvy management team, of whom its members have over 60 years of collective professional experience.

Infinite Group, Inc. (IMCI): The New Class of Management IT Consultant Companies

Infinite Group helps free businesses from having to manage their information technology (IT), so those companies can focus on their core business. Infinite Group is essentially a consulting firm focused on aiding companies with outsourcing their information technology, augmenting their IT staff, aiding with communication and mobility needs, providing services like project management, enhancing security of IT, as well as services like business process re-engineering which aid companies in how to re-think work flow in order to cut organizational costs and improve competitiveness.

According to analyst firm MarketsandMarkets, Infinite Group falls into the category of businesses referred to as managed IT services which is estimated to be at least a $143 billion market growing at a rate of 12.4% per annum, and expected to be a $323 billion market by 2020. High demand for such services is expected to continue as implementation of managed services reduces an enterprises’ IT costs by anywhere from 30 to 40%. It has been suggested that this estimate could be overtly conservative, as when the third-party management of private, hybrid and public cloud assets are factored in, the total growth of the managed services market could double.

Although advisors to the rich and powerful have existed throughout nearly all of human history, management consulting firms didn’t really begin to exists till the early 1900s, when Frederick Winslow Taylor published his monograph on “The Principles of
Scientific Management” in 1911, helping corporations like Bethlehem Steel increase their productivity by organizing their workflow with time-motion studies. Over the decades, the majority of consulting practices were organized in the same structure as law firms, using the private partnership model, with businesses like Booz, Allen, & Hamilton, McKinsey, Arthur Anderson, and others. The majority of consultants were academics, engineers, and recent MBA graduates. Entering into the 1990s, the importance of restructuring the IT infrastructure of major corporations and government agencies picked up in earnest, and divisions of major public corporations like IBM’s Global Solutions Group filled that niche.

Since then major changes in the consulting business began to occur as we transitioned from the late 1990s into the 2000s. Many of the consulting firms structured as partnerships were also working on the audits of the finances of major corporations, and this was seen as a conflict of interests. Greater value was placed on entrepreneurial individuals with years of industry experience over MBA new hires. Wide-ranging business strategy planning consultancy was valued less than nuts-and-bolts implementation of cost reducing outsourced IT. The large partnership firms didn’t go away, but there has been an ongoing transition to publicly traded firms such as Razor Fish, and Sapient. With the advent of new computational technologies, newer companies are coming to market to capture their share of an explosively growing market.

Infinite Group was one of the earliest managed IT services firms to offer platform virtualization services. With virtualization, rather than have several computer servers each running with their own operating system which are accessed by their corporate users, one larger computer server effectively has virtual servers of which each user has his own private account, and such access reduces costs. With cloud computing, shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility over a private network or the Internet. Cloud computing to reduce costs for business has been a key driver of growth for the Infinite Group. With nearly 100 employees, Infinite Group has a strong track record of delivering services to large institutional customers like Hewlett Packard and Pepsi, as well as working for numerous government agencies. It won’t be long before the partnership firms of yesteryear like McKinsey & Company and Accenture become replaced with aggressively growing upstarts like the Infinite Group, Inc.

NBT Equities Research Process Delivers Valuable Emerging Growth Sector Data

For the investor more curious about the elusive “next big thing” than the re-tread value stocks scattered beneath their feet, they need to look no further than NBT Equities Research. NBT’s (Next Big Thing) efforts are focused on researching the emerging growth sector marketplace and presenting it in delectable info snack form to those who have an appetite for it. The company’s website can be found at http://nbtequitiesresearch.com.

NBT is the brainchild of emerging growth investor and financial media personality, Tobin Smith, Fox News Contributor and NY Times bestselling author. Smith is also the Founder of ChangeWave Research (http://changewaveresearch.com) and ChangeWave investing newsletters.

NBT is in the process of expanding to cover over a dozen emerging sectors in Asia, America and else-where. Also included in the NBT family, a division of NBT Equity Group, Inc., is NBT Capital Group, NBT Communications, NBT TV, and NBT Social + Mobile Apps That Work. As part of the company’s services, it publishes NBT Week – a weekly newsletter to keep readers up-to-date on the sectors and companies it follows 365 days a year. All newsletter services are included free of charge with an NBT Equities Research membership.

NBT suggests that with just one, 10-20X winner and a moderate collection of under performers, an investor’s entire portfolio realizes a 5-10% upside. If the 2010 study by Cerruli Associates is near accurate, with average retirement savings per 50+ household at less than $75,000, nearly every portfolio can benefit from this type of boost.

NBT claims it has proven this concept to hundreds of thousands of investors since 1995 – when founder Tobin Smith started the emerging growth research company ChangeWave Research LLC. NBT’s work is centered on researching the emerging growth sector marketplace and incorporating their investment philosophy to it. It is the company’s belief that 10-20% of an equity portfolio directly invested in 8-10 leaders of the “secular super sectors” of the world’s economy, a portfolio can outperform the overall indexes.
