Certified Contractor Seeks Federal Partners to Implement Innovative Bed and Bath Linen Solution

Prodigy Press Wire

Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Jose Perez leads Frontline Support Solutions on a mission to revolutionize the linens industry and has a significant impact on the federal government space. The company actively seeks partnerships with federal agencies such as FEMA and the Department of Health and Human Services for their sustainable and innovative products, Pürlin Linens. Pürlin Linens is more than a bedding solution; it signifies a paradigm shift in how people perceive and buy linens. Perez emphasizes the product's superiority and offers a sustainable alternative to standard linens by manufacturing them in North America to reduce their environmental impact and minimize supply chain problems. The linens aim to break the more than the century-old process of washing linens, providing a direct hypoallergenic alternative that saves resources such as water, electricity, labor, etc. Not only are the linens designed for sustainability, but they are also strategically manufactured. Frontline Support Solutions produces these linens within North America, which significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with shipping from overseas markets and is more reliably sourced. The company is seeking collaborations with major federal agencies such as FEMA, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. Perez's story highlights the importance of hard work and determination in the success of Frontline Support Solutions, acknowledging the challenges faced by the business during the pandemic and manufacturers' inability to fulfill orders. By focusing on the long-term benefits of their linens, Perez hopes to continue his success and contribute to Frontline Support Solutions' success. What sets Pürlin apart? They are products that are one-time, single-person use linens that are disposed of. Then they are captured for recycling. This process involves de-milling and melting down the linen waste, filtering it, and extruding it back into raw material, PET pellets. The end result is a product that not only offers a sustainable alternative but also challenges traditional norms regarding the cost of using linens. Perez aims to shift the existing paradigm from a maintenance-oriented process to one where a user gets new, fresh, clean linens each time they lay their head down. The benefits of this greatly reduce the risk of cross-contamination issues and work in concert with a hospital’s infection control program. Frontline Support Solutions advocates for a more environmentally friendly future. Pürlin Linens are not only intended to replace an existing system but were created as a truly sustainable solution for natural disasters and the healthcare industry. Waste materials can be made into new linens or repurposed into any other PET product. This comprehensive approach to sustainability showcases Perez's commitment to leaving a positive impact on both the market and the environment. As Frontline Support Solutions actively seeks federal partners, Perez is confident that agencies like FEMA and Health and Human Services are the right fit for the product and align with the organization's overarching goals. Through strategic partnerships, Perez envisions Pürlin Linens becoming a staple in federal facilities, introducing a shift in thinking and projecting a solution that disrupts current, ineffective norms. Frontline Support Solutions is leading a movement towards sustainable, eco-friendly practices in the linen industry. The quest for federal partnerships is more than a business move; it's a strategic step towards reshaping an industry and contributing to a healthier, greener, and beneficial future.

Tearlach Resources announces strong results from channel sampling program at Georgina Properties

Tearlach Resources Ltd

Tearlach Resources vice president of exploration Dr Julie Selway and director Lindsay Bottomer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the recent assay results from the company's channel sampling program on the Georgina Properties. This program was a follow-up to the spodumene discovery the company made in October, with the mineralization at the Parks Lake area extending over a 2.6 km strike length. Dr Selway reported to Proactive that the assay results from grab samples included high-grade lithium oxide (Li2O) percentages: 6.48% from a blue-grey spodumene sample and 5.89% from a green spodumene sample. Subsequent channel sampling returned significant lithium oxide grades as well, including 4.04% Li2O over 0.70 meters from the inner core zone and 3.53% Li2O over 1.0 meter from the blue spodumene zone. The company has already moved forward with its exploration efforts, having submitted a maiden drill permit application to the Ontario Ministry of Mines, with approval anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. Bottomer outlined Tearlach Resources' overarching strategy, which encompasses not only the planned drill program but also the execution of metallurgical studies and a resource calculation for their Nevada project, where substantial sediment-hosted lithium mineralization has been identified. This integrated approach aims to further define and potentially develop the lithium resources across the company's portfolio.

Tematica Research latest report shows sectors continue to struggle with some notable exceptions

HANetf

Tematica Research head of indexing Mark Abssy joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insights regarding the market report that shows the performance of digital infrastructure and connectivity companies in October. According to Abssy, digital infrastructure and connectivity companies, like the broader equity market, faced challenges in October, with the index declining by 6.24% during the month. The advance/decline perspective was also challenging, with 15 companies in the index seeing gains, while 48 companies lost ground. However, amidst the market challenges, there are some bright spots and positive prospects for digital infrastructure. One notable development is a new wave of investment as the 5G rollout progresses from its initial stage to the second stage, where existing networks undergo densification. This transition marks the beginning of the real impact of 5G technology, driving the industry forward and leading to record-setting investment flows in the digital infrastructure space. Abssy highlighted key companies that demonstrated positive performance in this environment. For instance, American Tower, a digital transmission company, saw its stock trade up by 9.34%. Arista Networks, a digital connectivity company, also rose by 8.94% due to strong quarterly results, which led to analyst rating upgrades and increased price targets. In summary, despite market challenges in October, the digital infrastructure and connectivity sector is experiencing growth opportunities, particularly as 5G technology continues to advance. Companies that are well-positioned to benefit from this trend are attracting investment and showing positive performance in the market.

NanoViricides updates progress on Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of antiviral drug candidate NV-387

NanoViricides

NanoViricides CEO Dr Anil Diwan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting updates on their antiviral drug candidate, NV 387. The drug, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated exceptional safety in clinical trials, even at the highest dose levels, with no adverse events reported. The unique mechanism of action involves mimicking a cell membrane, encapsulating and blocking the virus. The clinical trials involved both oral tablets and oral gummies, catering to various age groups, including pediatrics. NV 387 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against multiple strains of coronaviruses, showcasing effectiveness 10 times greater than remdesivir in preclinical studies. Beyond COVID-19, the drug also displayed promising results against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), offering a potential solution for infants and seniors where existing treatments like ribavirin may be contraindicated due to side effects. Dr Diwan highlighted the drug's versatility, suggesting applications against other respiratory viruses and even biodefense-related infections like smallpox. The ongoing clinical trial progress and positive results position NanoViricides at the forefront of antiviral drug development, marking a significant milestone in their journey from preclinical research since 2005 to clinical trials.
