EnteroMedics, Inc. (ETRM) is Pulling its Weight in the Fight Against Obesity

EnteroMedics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETRM) aims to make America leaner and fitter. The company, based in St. Paul, Minnesota, provides safe, reliable and effective products and therapies to treat obesity and metabolic disorders. Its signature technology, the vBloc® vagal blocking therapy delivered via the Maestro® Rechargeable System, is gaining increasing acceptance both domestically and abroad. vBloc® offers the overweight and the obese relief from those extra pounds that, all too often, trigger a variety of problematic medical conditions.

Overweight and obesity are global problems, but America appears to have taken the cake. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has published statistics that are quite alarming. ‘More than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese’ and ‘more than 1 in 3 adults are considered to be obese’.

Overweight is excess body weight due to too much muscle, bone, fat or water. Obesity is an excess amount of body fat. One measure of overweight and obesity is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a person’s weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his or her height (in meters). Your weight is considered normal if the BMI is under 25. Anyone with a BMI over 25 and under 30 is considered overweight. If your BMI is 30 or over, you are obese.

Extra weight means extra stress for the vital organs. The liver, heart, kidneys and pancreas are all adversely affected by visceral fat, the internal fatty tissue that develops to enfold them. Unlike the benign deposits of fat that lie just beneath the skin, which shape our figures, visceral fat is highly toxic. ‘Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In women, it is also associated with breast cancer and the need for gallbladder surgery’, according to this (http://dtn.fm/tR3tv) Harvard Medical School publication. The NIDDK lists the health risks of overweight and obesity as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, nonalcoholic fatty liver disorders, osteoarthritis, stroke and cancers of the breast, colon, uterine lining and kidney.

Chronic cases of overweight and obesity are treated by surgery. American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) figures, as reported by News Medical (http://dtn.fm/mM8vM), relate that ‘about 193,000 people had bariatric surgery in 2014… sleeve gastrectomy was… found to be the most common procedure, accounting for 51.7 percent of weight-loss operations, followed by gastric bypass (26.8%), gastric band (9.5%), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (0.4%).’ These are all intensely intrusive procedures with many risks that may be hard to stomach. Sleeve gastrectomy, for example, is a procedure in which up to 80 percent of the stomach can be removed.

The vBloc® vagal blocking therapy from EnteroMedics, Inc. is, on the other hand, minimally invasive. It is implanted under the skin just outside the ribcage and involves limited scarring. Recovery time from surgery is short. Some patients reported having the surgery on Friday and going out to work the following Monday.

The vBloc® Therapy works to control sensations of hunger using a pacemaker-like device. A Briefing Document (http://dtn.fm/gY7a9) on the FDA website indicates that when the therapy is used for 12 hours per day as prescribed, patients experienced an average excess weight loss of 28 percent over one year. This was 50 percent more weight loss than patients who did not receive vBloc®.

In June 2016, EnteroMedics announced a series of successful vBloc procedures at the Beltline Bariatric and Surgical Group in Atlanta, Georgia. And this week, it was disclosed that the European Patent Office had issued a Notice of Intention to Grant a European Patent covering safety features of the Company’s vBloc® Neurometabolic Therapy System. EnteroMedics, with its vBloc® Therapy, is beginning to look like a heavy hitter.

Dominovas Energy Corporation (DNRG) Enters Formal Negotiations to Become Exclusive Energy Supplier for University of Johannesburg

Yesterday, Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTCQB: DNRG) announced its entry into formal negotiations with key officials at the University of Johannesburg to become the exclusive supplier of electricity for the South African school’s Johannesburg campuses. The Company, which has been working closely with University of Johannesburg officials in recent months ahead of the impending delivery of its RUBICON™ showcase unit, recently submitted its Energy Solutions Technical Survey to the University’s facilities managers in order to determine the overall electrical needs of the campuses. When the survey is complete, Dominovas Energy officials will look to conduct a complete and thorough analysis of the school’s current electrical systems, highlighting inefficiencies and potential savings that could be realized by implementing the company’s proprietary RUBICON™ Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology.

“As the ‘right’ individuals have become more educated on the prowess and efficiency of Dominovas Energy’s RUBICON™ system, the inquiries became more specific as to what the Company could do for the University at large to deliver a cleaner, more efficient use of resources for the generation of electricity,” Michael Watkins, COO of Dominovas Energy and president of its fuel cell division, stated in this morning’s news release. “The key was to first determine the energy need of the University and those steps are underway as we speak.”

When complete, Dominovas Energy anticipates that its Energy Solutions Technical Survey will set the stage for the execution of a formal power provider agreement (PPA) between the two parties. The PPA is expected to encompass a minimum of 12MW, serving as a “long-term play for Dominovas Energy to provide utility-scale electrification to Africa,” according to Watkins. Notably, the company’s showcase unit, which was announced in a previous news release, is on-track to be delivered in the near future. Dominovas Energy is currently awaiting access to a reliable natural gas source at the University of Johannesburg site. When available, the Company “will be ready to fire up the ‘Showcase’ and show its capabilities to the public at large.”

In recent weeks, Dominovas Energy has made considerable progress toward the launch of its power solutions technology on the African continent. In addition to reporting two site visits to the University of Johannesburg regarding its RUBICON™ showcase, the Company has also turned its sights toward neighboring countries in the region. On September 9, Dominovas Energy announced the appointment of Dr. Emma Rasolovoahangy as Ambassador for Renewable Energy Projects and Special Advisor for the Republic of Madagascar. Through this appointment, the Company is strategically positioned to build on its recent progress through its new hydropower division, Currentergy. According to Vassilis Koutras, managing director for Francophone countries with Dominovas Energy, Madagascar has a hydro potential of roughly 7,000MW, making the country one of Dominovas Energy’s “top priorities for development and operation of multiple power projects” in the future.

iGambit, Inc. (IGMB) Leaning on Seasoned Leadership Team to Guide Acquisition-Based Growth Model

iGambit, Inc. (OTCQB: IGMB) is a diversified holding company focused primarily on the acquisition of early-stage technology firms with strong growth potential that’s easily recognized in the public arena. Leveraging the considerable industry experience of its board of directors and management team, iGambit offers talented entrepreneurs an opportunity to focus their time and energy on building a business instead of searching out investors or raising capital. Following acquisition, iGambit provides the capital and management expertise required to help its partner firms flourish with the intention of ‘spinning off’ the acquisition to the benefit of both the newly independent business and iGambit shareholders.

One of iGambit’s most recent acquisitions occurred in November 2015, when the company added ArcMail to its portfolio. Founded to help clients boost email server performance and satisfy associated regulatory requirements, ArcMail is a leading provider of simple, secure and cost-effective email and enterprise archiving and management solutions. In April 2016, the marketability of ArcMail’s technology was highlighted when the firm was selected as a ‘Top 20 Enterprise Security Company of 2016’ by leading IT publication CIOReview.

At the core of iGambit’s business model is its experienced leadership team. John Salerno, chairman of iGambit, is a seasoned executive with more than four decades of experience in the technology industry. In addition to providing consulting services to a wide range of clients, Salerno founded a startup that later became a multi-million dollar business servicing the New York real estate market. In 1996, he cofounded bigVAULT, Inc., an online backup and file-sharing company that later became iGambit following an asset purchase sale with Verizon and Cablevision.

In June 2016, iGambit appointed Rory Welch as its chief executive officer. Welch originally joined the iGambit team through the ArcMail acquisition, bringing more than 20 years of senior management experience spanning multiple industries and global geographies to the company. Prior to serving as ArcMail’s president and CEO, Welch managed his own consulting firm, which attracted clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to mid-market players across a number of industry verticals. Welch also held leadership positions at Movado Group, Inc., as well as Arrow Electronics, where he was responsible for overseeing all aspects of product management for the tech firm’s $1 billion Asia-Pacific division.

Pay-by-Text™ from SinglePoint, Inc. (SING) Makes Mobile Payments as Easy as SMS

A recent feature in Fortune magazine titled ‘How mobile payments will grow in 2016’ (http://dtn.fm/23Dlm) shows the rosy future that lies before SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING). The Fortune piece reports that ‘eMarketer (is) forecasting 210% growth in the total value of mobile payment transactions in 2016—up to $27.05 billion from $8.71 billion’. This is a market that is still in its infancy, and SinglePoint’s Pay-by-Text™ technology is precisely the sort of cutting edge innovation that can establish a niche in it.

Despite the promise of easier use and convenience, the Fortune piece reveals that ‘while 52% of North Americans are “extremely aware” of mobile payments, only 18% use them on a regular basis’, citing a recent Accenture survey. This is obviously an industry ripe for development. Millennials and higher income households are leading the way. The Accenture survey discovered that 23 percent of Millennials and 38 percent of higher-income households use ‘contactless payments at least once a week’.

Contactless payments are so called because they can be made without physical contact to the payments terminal. Most contactless payments systems use near field communication (NFC), which enables wireless communication between two devices, such as a mobile phone and a point-of-sale terminal, when they are very close together, typically just a few inches. NFC employs a technology that has been around for decades called radio-frequency identification (RFID), which allows the credentials of a device to be established by radio waves. RFID technology is commonly used to scan grocery items at checkout, on baggage tags and for tagging cattle.

However, Singlepoint’s platform differs from this mainstream approach, being based on short message service (SMS) technology. CEO Greg Lambrecht explains:

“We started in 2006 with a mobile messaging platform where we can send a text message to any phone in the U.S. and Canada. We have overlaid on top of that a way for people to use their credit card and their mobile phone to do a transaction or a donation but… we have married the text messaging and mobile transaction together, so when you get that text, there’s a link that you can hit and that will take you to a mobile landing page that you can do the transaction or donation.”

Singlepoint is differentiating itself from the competition in the mobile payments sector that mostly employs NFC technologies by providing a solution that links ubiquitous SMS to cash payments.

“That makes us different from some other ways of doing mobile transactions or other mobile companies where maybe you have to go find their app which as you know is not easy. With what we’re doing with text messaging, we’re making it very streamlined and simple. When they get that text, which everybody reads within the first five minutes, that link is there, so if they want to hit the link, they can donate or do a transaction right away. So it’s really a seamless process,” continued Lambrecht.

The Singlepoint Pay-by-Text™ combo of SMS and payments seems set for success. The Pew Research Center (http://dtn.fm/Uud8m) found that ‘some 83% of American adults own cell phones and three-quarters of them (73%) send and receive text messages’. That was five years ago. The numbers are likely to be larger now.

Singlepoint’s Pay-by-Text™ solution allows merchants to offer a simplified mobile payment option to their customers’ mobile phones, letting customers pay at any time and from anywhere. SinglePoint can receive a monthly fee ranging from $10 – $100 depending on the merchant, and 1% of each transaction. The company recently integrated Pay-by-Text™ with the payment processor RedFynn Technologies, enabling Singlepoint to provide all forms of credit card processing.

Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F) Receives Second Report from Fundamental Research Corp.

Fundamental Research Corp. (FRC), a company in the business of providing quality equity research coverage since 2003, recently released its second report on Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F), a rapidly growing multi-level marketing (MLM) company focused on the sale of functional, hemp-based beverages. FRC released its first report on May 5, 2016, giving Laguna a BUY rating and fair value estimate of $0.45 per share. According to the original report, the company’s shares were expected to range from $0.30 to $1.06, depending on the number of affiliates LAGBF generates by 2020.

Since this initial coverage, Laguna’s share price is up by 83% and its market capitalization is up by 155% to $6.22 million. Not only this, reported revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (quarter ended March 31, 2016) were approximately $17K, a number that rose to approximately $47K in the company’s first quarter of fiscal 2016 (quarter ended June 30, 2016). Laguna Blends has raised approximately $0.7 million through two private placements, leaving FRC to nearly double the company’s fair value estimate from its initial $0.45 per share to $0.80 per share.

The company has also entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Cannaceuticals (“Canna”). LAGBF will be distributing Canna’s seven Swiss-made cannabidiol skincare products by the end of this month in the U.S. and in Canada by the end of the year. The agreement was signed after the results of the clinical trials on these products showed that all 21 female test subjects noticed an overall improvement of their skin’s appearance.

Personal care products were shown to be the number one category in direct sales in 2015. Therefore, it is only fitting that Laguna positions itself within the skin care industry. Niche products such as cannabidiol skin care products normally do well in direct sales, and although these only equate to less than 1% of retail sales in the U.S., wellness product sales and personal care products make up 46.7% of these.

LAGBF has bought all of the current inventory of the seven Cannaceuticals products for $0.23 million, to be paid over the next six months. In addition to this, LAGBF paid a licensing fee in common shares worth $0.10 million. Laguna will place a minimum order of $1.5 million giving the company the rights to sell all seven products in the U.S. and Canada. Once regulatory approvals are received, Laguna will have the rights to sell Canna’s products in Asia, Europe, and Mexico. The agreement fits in with Laguna’s strategy to build a diversified portfolio of products, similar to other MLM companies. Laguna announced the VIP launch of Cannaceuticals CBD skin care products on September 13, 2016, making them available for sale on September 15, 2016.

Moxian, Inc. (MOXC) Helping Millennials Communicate with Businesses through Social Media Marketing

An impressive 90% of young adults aged 18 to 29 use social media, with a third of them saying that it is their preferred means of communication with businesses. 70% have an account on at least one social media platform, 52% use two or more social media sites, and the average social media user maintains five accounts, all according to Business2Community.com (http://dtn.fm/TkMZ2). Statistics continue to show the development and projected growth of social media as a marketing tool.

Although return on investment (ROI) is still hard to measure today, 80% of marketers use “vanity metrics” such as “likes” and “shares” as primary success metrics for their social media platforms, and 56% of these base social media success on website traffic. Over 50% of the companies surveyed did not believe or were not sure that social media was linked to their organization’s marketing strategy. However, many if not all consumers said that social media plays a significant role in their buying decisions.

By 2018, the number of social media users worldwide is expected to reach 2.5 billion, which is why social media marketing budgets are expected to double within the next five years. As a result, the overall share of social media marketing budgets is expected to increase from 9.9% to 22.5%. But why is social media marketing so popular and why is it expected to grow so rapidly?

The answer, in a word, is millennials. With a third of millennials saying they prefer social media to communicate with organizations, it is unlikely that these consumer habits are going to change any time soon. Social media habits are following millennials as they age, meaning businesses are having to adapt to a trend that is going to continue to flourish.

Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC), providing companies with social media marketing and promotional platforms, is embracing these growing consumer trends and acting on them. The company has designed its platforms with the aim of helping merchants grow and advertise their businesses through social media. Moxian, Inc. has two primary products: Moxian+ User app and Moxian+ Business app.

These enable merchants to run targeted advertising campaigns and promotions with the aim of improving the interaction between merchants and consumers. Behavior data is compiled, making the experience for the user more personalized and giving merchants the ability to get to know their audience better. The Moxian+ Business app has built in Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM), allowing merchants to push promotions in a variety of ways and generating reports customized to their own shops.

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Offers Update on Uplisting Plans

Late last week, Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) CEO Greg Lambrecht was featured in an interview on MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon, during which he discussed the company’s progress toward uplisting to the OTCQB Venture Market. After describing Singlepoint as on “the five-yard line, ready to punch it in,” Lambrecht added that the company planned to give an update on its progress toward the filing of its Form 10 with the FCC within the next week. Before the opening bell, Singlepoint did just that, offering prospective shareholders an update on the company’s corporate audit and uplisting plans.

This morning’s news release included details regarding the company’s corporate audit, for which it is currently in the final stages of preparation. Completion of this audit is required ahead of a planned uplisting to the OTCQB exchange. According to Singlepoint’s management team, once the audit is complete, which could be as early as next week, the company will file Form 10, also known as the General Form for Registration of Securities, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effectively becoming a fully-reporting company. After the SEC accepts this submittal, Singlepoint will look to complete the process of uplisting to the OTCQB exchange within 60 days.

“We have diligently worked alongside MaloneBailey to prepare this audit and increase SinglePoint’s corporate and shareholder value,” Lambrecht stated in this morning’s news release. “Not only will the completion of these efforts provide us better financing options and allow institutional investors to invest directly on the open market, it also correlates with our M&A strategy.”

In June, Singlepoint announced the engagement of Milost Advisors, a global investment banking firm offering comprehensive advisory services, in order to pursue acquisitions and financing facilities. Shortly thereafter, the company issued a letter of intent to acquire the assets and technology of Mobile Bidding Technologies, Inc. (“MBT”). The firm’s primary platform, Text2Bid, takes aim at the traditional live auction market by enabling silent auctions by mobile phone.

The innovative technology “bridges the gap between traditional silent auction bid forms and the live auction by introducing a fun, high energy alternative to the traditional bid process,” according to MBT’s website. Leveraging the marketability of the Text2Bid platform, MBT currently generates more than $10 million a year in donations for its users. Singlepoint intends to finalize the MBT acquisition in the coming weeks following the completion of its corporate audit and subsequent filing of Form 10.

Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F) Game Changing Cannaceuticals Skin Care Product Line Launches via Affiliate Network

Described as a game-changing product line unlike any other available on the market, Laguna Blends, Inc.’s (CSE: LAG) (OTC: LAGBF) (LB6A.F) Cannaceuticals Skin Care Anti-Aging Collection finally launched on Thursday, September 15, being available only through the company’s affiliate network to existing members, as well as to any newcomers who want to join or simply resell these innovative products. It is the first skincare product line to use anti-aging cannabidiol (CBD).

Consisting of seven main products, the CBD7 Complete Anti-Aging Collection offers next-generation skincare innovation for women and men alike, being superior to any other products on the market, according to Laguna Blends management during a conference call (http://dtn.fm/KiAo1) with their affiliates on Wednesday. All seven products are infused with hemp CBD and other youth-reviving ingredients, which have demonstrated clinically proven results in seven to 14 days. The CBD7 skincare line is based on Swiss-acquired CBD and the company’s proprietary time-released delivery system called ‘Spheres,’ which basically extends the efficacy of the product by giving little bursts of anti-aging ingredients all throughout the day, thus enhancing penetration by the skin. This, in turn, allows for faster and more noticeable results, Laguna Blends President Ray Grimm Jr. explained during the call.

Grimm also detailed the company’s special promotions for this product line, explaining that up until the end of the month, the products will be available to all affiliates and to new members at discounted rates and in special bundles so as to incentivize sales. “We know that after women and men start using this product consistently for at least 7 days, the product will sell itself,” he added. Grimm’s wife, Daran Grimm, also went on the line to discuss her experience with the new products after having tried them personally, and she offered praise for the whole line as being the first to produce visible results in just seven to 14 days.

Ray Grimm next introduced COO and President of USA operations Stuart Kawasaki, who also voiced his excitement about the new skincare line and shared feedback from his daughter, who had been testing the products herself. “My daughter was so excited with the results that she’s been on a high ever since,” he joked.

Earlier during the call, one of the founders of Laguna Blends, Tony Estigoy, spoke about the company’s flagship products, the hemp-infused coffee Caffé and Pro369 hemp protein drink, describing how impressed he was with their quality the first time he tried them. Estigoy added that he was equally impressed with the quality of the Canna skin care collection, an opinion shared by his fiancée and business partner Tatiana Bedoya. “The new product is a game changer. We’re going to be in a category that runs about $121 billion a year worldwide, we have a product that will make some significant noise,” Estigoy said. In turn, Bedoya said she was excited to see Laguna blends launch a product line that offers both luxury and purpose, since it has proven benefits for the skin health of the user, be they male or female.

One of the highlights of the conference call was the intervention of Laguna Blends CEO and Founder Stuart Gray, who talked briefly about his background and how he came to create the network marketing company. He added that Laguna Blends is the first network marketing company to use a cloud-based technology for its operations, the same technology used by the fastest growing real estate brokerage in the U.S., but adapted to fit Laguna’s specific needs. Gray also talked about his vision for the company, saying he has plans for international expansion in the next few years, once his team builds a solid foundation in North America, focusing on the U.S and Canada to start. “Three to five years from now, I envision Laguna being an international company and offering a number of product categories. Laguna will be the market leader with hemp and CBD products and in network marketing. In addition, Laguna will be doing 50 to 100 million dollars per year in sales, and we will continue to innovate with new technology and tools,” he said.

The innovative Cannaceuticals skincare line is designed to fight skin aging in seven ways: by stimulating collagen production, rehydrating sun-damaged and aged skin, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, restoring firmness, promoting cell renewal, minimizing pore size and reducing discoloration of the skin. The collection includes products such as the Refreshing Facial Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, Regenerating 7 Serum, Restoring Eye and Lip Gel, Rejuvenating Cream, Repairing Night Cream and Resurfacing Enzyme Mask. More information about each product, hemp CBD and the process behind the creation of this unique line can be found on the dedicated website, www.CBDSkinCream.com.
