July 23, 2015 – – FIG Tree Capital Ventures (FIG) – a Texas-based venture capital firm, with energy assets in the Williston Basin (Bakken/Three Forks Shale) of North Dakota, The Woodbine Formation of South East Texas, The Cotton Valley/Bossier Haynesville of East Texas, has announced a unique product structure for clients who are seeking to directly invest into the oil and gas industry.

Ryan Wright, FIG Tree Capital Ventures CEO, recently had this to say about the company’s oil fund investments: “Our Drilling and Acquisition Funds provide our clients with direct investment opportunities in oil and gas that are consistent with an industry or wholesale approach. Rather than participating in a single well, or a group of wells in which the investor owns just cash flow from a depleting source, our Fund put investors in the position of directly owning the valuable acreage. This way our partners aren’t just relying on a declining cash flow stream and tax benefits to generate their return on investment. Our Funds have the ability to create valuable properties via leasehold ownership and proven reserve value. Our partners can choose to divest of it when the market timing is right in order to achieve a capital gain on top of the cash flow received during the hold time. With this structure, investors are involved in the decisions and they understand the actual costs associated with the development. We believe this product design is educating its investors and setting the bar for fairness.”

FIG Tree Capital Ventures opened in 2008, with the goal of providing investment opportunities for the development of proven oil and natural gas fields. Richard Main, FIG’s President explains, “We started this company with the mindset that drilling and producing hydrocarbons can be a much more consistent and lower risk endeavor for investors due to the technology that exists today and our ability to acquire highly desirable acreage positions. We are partnering with top tier publicly traded operators like Whiting Petroleum (WLL) and Continental Resources (CLR) on some of the most sought after locations in the country”.

The business model seems to be working. FIG’s latest fund, has an interest in over 30,000 gross acres and to date has participated in or purchased 27 wells in McKenzie and Dunn County North Dakota. 23 of the wells all producing revenue to the Fund and 4 are currently in the completion process.

Brisbane, AU – On June 30 2015, Troy Cundy launched a Kickstarter campaign for Tooli, an intelligent and versatile creative desktop tool for artists and makers. This rather unique robotic tool can plot, airbrush, laser and dispense, and is the creation of the team at Toolbotics; a small start-up founded by Troy Cundy with a wealth of CNC knowledge on tap.

“It was during a 3D printer design project that I was introduced to the vast array of open source resources linked to CNC, this sparked the idea for the Tooli project,” says Cundy, “Tooli was created to show the world that CNC technology is capable of much more than just milling and 3D printing. Tooli can draw a sketch, cut a decal, stamp a pattern, laser engrave a photo, cut out fabric, paint a picture, dispense chocolate, pick and place objects, and much more.”

After several design concepts and months of prototyping, they have created a versatile CNC platform that introduces a unique set of capabilities. While some of the capabilities of Tooli are not new, there are a several features like airbrushing and pick-n-place that haven’t really been offered before in a desktop machine. If having so many features built into a single creative space you can own for less than $2,000 isn’t enough, they’ve also included a touch screen interface.

“Tooli was designed from the ground up to be a scalable multi-function creative tool that’s super easy to use. Available in 3 sizes up to 84 x 60 cm (33 x 24 in), Tooli provides the perfect creative space for artists and makers to do what they do best — be creative,” explains Cundy, “The intuitive touch screen makes using Tooli super easy, and together with our Art2Gcode software offers a total package that everyone can use.”

Due to the costs involved with bringing a product like Tooli to the market, the team has taken their idea to Kickstarter in an attempt to raise $65,000 in 40 days. In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of limited rewards including a Tooli sticker for under $5, an early bird Tooli and Laser for around $1,000, or an early bird Tooli with Laser and Plotter for around $1,200. Backers can also pledge around $1,500 to receive a Tooli with all attachments (Laser, Plotter, Airbrush and Dispenser).

To follow this project, be sure to find them on Twitter @Toolbotics and Facebook/tooli.CNC and spread the word to your social media networks. For more information, please visit the Kickstarter page here or contact the creator below.

July 23, 2015 – – Juli Whaley of Powerfully Present Now has recently announced a new article publication regarding authority marketing and how it can be beneficial to businesses. Whaley is an international authority marketing expert from Australia, with experience in banking and entrepreneurship.

Authority marketing refers to media exposure or more specifically, exposure to major media networks such as ABC, NBC, and Fox, among others. Authority marketing helps to establish trust and credibility for a business or brand among target audiences. It assists in getting a brand name or company in front of their market and can lead to higher sales.

“Being seen as an expert on your industry is critical to overall business success,” says SEO expert Jonathan Greene. “Companies that don’t have this distinction are often overlooked for those that do.”

The article published by Whaley on powerfullypresentnow.com describes marketing authority as well as the benefits of using it, and the author guarantees placement on major networks. Exposure on these networks leads to the certified use of network logos for marketing, which establishes the business owner as an authority or leader in their industry. Logos can be used in online and offline marketing strategies.

“My company awareness has grown significantly since I began paying attention to how people viewed me. Authority marketing is perhaps the greatest thing I could have done for my business. People see me as an expert now, which keeps them coming back to me over and over again,” says website owner Loren.

Whaley promises through her authority marketing program to get businesses in the media on at least four networks within 10 days of submission, and states that every business needs media exposure. “Whether you are a restaurant owner, author, speaker, realtor, coach, or any small business owner, you need authority marketing,” says Whaley. “I can get any business where it needs to be; viewed as an expert or authority in its respective industry, which is what is going to really make that business successful.”

July 23, 2015 – – On April 17, 2014, the US Food & Drug Administration announced a major safety risk of power morcellators, medical devices frequently used to grind uterine fibroid tissue: morcellators can spread and worsen uterine cancer. In November of that year, the FDA would expand on its warning in an updated Safety Communication, warning surgeons to avoid using power morcellators in all but the rarest circumstances. Recommending that all morcellator manufacturers revise their devices’ labeling with a “Black Box” warning, notifying patients and surgeons that “laparoscopic power morcellators during fibroid surgery may spread cancer,” the regulatory agency said that it was “consider[ing] other steps that may further reduce such risk.”

Six days later, Johnson & Johnson initiated a “voluntary market withdrawal,” asking surgeons around the world to return their power morcellators immediately. While Johnson & Johnson’s decision effectively removed the world’s largest morcellator manufacturer from the market, smaller companies have yet to respond. Questioned by the Wall Street Journal on their own plans, Karl Storz, Richard Wolf, LiNA Medical and Olympus Corporation failed to respond.

Meanwhile, patients who believe that a morcellator spread their undetected cancers have begun to file lawsuits. Amid allegations that medical device manufacturers failed to warn the public of morcellation’s risks, more than 20 claims have been filed so far. The first of these morcellator lawsuits, filed by Scott Burkhart on March 14, 2014*, has now been settled for an undisclosed amount by LiNA Medical.

According to Sean Tracey, Esq., managing partner at Tracey & Fox, a growing number of critics say much more needs to be done than “warnings” and “recommendations.” Led by Amy Reed, an anesthesiologist whose undiagnosed uterine cancer was spread by a morcellator procedure in 2013, a vocal movement has formed around calls to ban power morcellators entirely. “Reed and her husband, Hooman Noorchashm, have bravely spearheaded several major changes already,” Tracey says.

Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital restricted the use of morcellators in its own facilities after publicly acknowledging that Reed’s hysterectomy, performed at the hospital, had “upstaged” her cancer. Medical institutions across the country followed suit. Philadelphia’s Temple University Hospital announced that it would end the use of power morcellators completely, as did HCA Holdings Inc., a hospital network encompassing more than 270 facilities.

Tracey notes that several health insurance companies have also limited coverage for procedures involving the device, including UnitedHealth Group and Aetna, respectively the first- and third-largest insurers in the country. “But critics say changes from within the industry don’t go far enough. Reed and Noorchashm have called for regulatory action.” Tracey says that at least one legislator has heard those calls: Mike Fitzpatrick, a Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania.

Inspired by the passion of activists like Amy Reed, Fitzpatrick drafted seven Amendments for inclusion in the 21st Century Cures Act, a sweeping healthcare reform bill passed mid-July 2015. Fitzpatrick’s legislation targeted the medical device approval process currently employed by the FDA, and included measures to strengthen the agency’s postmarket surveillance program for devices.

“Medical device approval has been surrounded by controversy for years,” says Tracey. He cites Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, which allows the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health to approve new devices without safety testing, as long as manufacturers can demonstrate that their products are “substantially equivalent” to one approved previously. “In the case of morcellators,” Tracey continues, “manufacturers weren’t required to provide new safety data after the first device was approved. That was more than 20 years ago.” Tracey notes that most morcellators use a spinning blade to grind fibroid and uterine tissue into small pieces. But Olympus Corporation, a Japanese company, introduced an entirely new design in [date]. “Olympus’ morcellator uses energy, rather than blades, to split apart tumors. But even with that significant difference, it was deemed ‘substantially equivalent’ and approved quickly through 510(k).”

Mike Fitzpatrick’s proposed legislation sought to change that process, and ensure that all devices are sufficiently tested in both safety and efficacy. But upon the 21st Century Cures Act’s passage, the House of Representatives had rejected all but one of his Amendments. Surgeons will now be required to include a medical device’s make and model on electronic health records. But this is only one small change to what many consider a hopelessly ineffective approval process.

Tracey & Fox continues to provide free consultations to patients who believe that a morcellator procedure spread or worsened an undetected uterine cancer. For a case eligibility evaluation at no cost, call 713.495.2333.
