COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nordetect, the Danish agritech startup building portable agricultural testing solutions, announced today a seed investment of $1.5 million. Early-stage technology investor Luminate NY led the investment round with new participation from Rockstart, SOSV (HAX), PreSeed Ventures and Vækstfonden (The Danish Growth Fund). The company will use the financing to commercialize its proprietary technology platform and provide indoor and vertical farmers on the East and West Coasts of the U.S. and in Western Europe with early access to portable analysis devices and lab-on-a-chip capabilities.

“The new funding allows us to make the necessary investments in process automation to bolster our supply of the product as we tap into the exploding number of farmers turning to new technologies. We are very eager to now start scaling up the manufacturing of our Lab-on-a-chip consumables and deliver to our early customers. With the support and specialized expertise from Luminate and all our previous investors on board we have an amazing launchpad as we enter the next stage of growth,” says Keenan Pinto, CEO & Co-founder of Nordetect.

Founded in 2016 in Copenhagen, Nordetect helps farmers, agronomists and indoor growers optimize the use of chemistries for a sustainable green revolution. Agriculturists need to maintain the right nutrient levels for optimum yields from their crop. Indoor growers need to maintain water quality and ensure that they have the right levels of nutrients (liquid fertilizer) and light. Vertical farms and other high tech indoor farms use this data to increase their yield per square foot and supply more locally. The process of collecting and testing soil and water samples is a time consuming process ranging from three days to three weeks. The one click device and test kits from Nordetect can test multiple nutrients simultaneously and in a matter of minutes.

The Founders Keenan Pinto and Palak Sehgal have a background in bioengineering of plants, specifically roots and flowers. They have travelled across Shenzhen China, San Francisco, and Amsterdam, developing the product and supply chain and building client and investor connections.

About Nordetect

Copenhagen-based Nordetect is an analytical hardware company that produces Lab-on-a-chip devices for environmental and agricultural analysis. It was founded in 2016 with a vision of bringing medical grade technology to the farming industry. With Nordetect, farm managers, agricultural service providers and indoor growers can remove risk and use valid data that is easy to understand and implement to ensure richer harvests.

CHATSWORTH, CA, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire – Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: CVAT) (BERLIN: WTC) announced that U.S. Patent No. 10876085, entitled: SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER, ETHANOL AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OF IMPURITIES, has been granted to the Company by the United States Patent and Trademark Office

CVAT’s patented technology and system purifies water in a unique and unprecedented manner. Through intense levels of cavitation, the nanoreactor system alters the structure of water molecules by breaking down hydrogen bonds and reducing water’s cluster size. This nonchemical method of water treatment allows for deeper purification while preserving biologically important trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fluorine. In addition, CVAT’s water treatment system neutralizes and destroys colloids and particles that can contain microbiological impurities, such as bacteria, spores and viruses.

This nonchemical method of water treatment demonstrates significant health benefits as well. Roman Gordon, CVAT’s Chief Technology Officer, added, “Since the system changes the energetic state of water while also removing microbiological impurities, we have noticed an improvement in the absorption of CVAT’s purified water by the body’s cells. This has beneficial effects on metabolism, accelerates the removal of toxins, and promotes better absorption of nutrients. Because of this increased absorption rate in the body’s cells, water treated by our nanoreactor system can provide a more efficient delivery system for nutrients and vitamins, and coupled with CBD supplements, our system can produce purified CBD infused sports water for home consumption.”

CVAT’s patented technology and nanoreactor system is designed specifically for home use application but is scalable for commercial use as well.

About Cavitation Technologies, Inc. 

Founded in 2007, the company designs and manufactures innovative flow-through devices and systems, as well as develops processing technologies for use in edible oil refining, renewable fuel production, water treatment, and alcoholic beverage enhancement. The company’s patented Nano Reactor® systems and various technologies have over 40 patents issued and filed both domestically and abroad. http://www.ctinanotech.com/

MINNEAPOLIS, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CVRx^®, developer of the world’s first FDA-approved neuromodulation device to treat the symptoms of heart failure (HF), announces it has been selected by Fierce Medtech as a 2020 “Fierce 15” company, designating it as one of the most promising private medtech companies in the industry.

CVRx is dedicated to helping HF patients regain an active, normal lifestyle. The company’s Barostim™ Baroreflex Activation Therapy is the first medical technology approved by the FDA that uses neuromodulation – the power of the brain and nervous system – to improve the symptoms of patients with systolic HF. Barostim Therapy received the FDA Breakthrough Device designation and is FDA-approved for use in HF patients in the U.S. It has also received the CE Mark for HF and resistant hypertension in the European Economic Area. Barostim is also the recipient of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) outpatient Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status (TPT) and inpatient New Technology Add-On Payment (NTAP). The approval of TPT and NTAP provides incremental reimbursement for Barostim and will help accelerate access to the therapy for the thousands of Medicare patients still suffering from the effects of heart failure.

“We are honored to be listed among medtech innovators who are working to improve patients’ lives,” said Nadim Yared, President and CEO of CVRx. “The CVRx team is committed to providing the very best therapies to aid individuals living with heart failure, so that they may continue to lead fulfilling and healthy lives.

About CVRx Barostim Baroreflex Activation Therapy

CVRx’s Barostim™ Baroreflex Activation Therapy is the first medical technology approved by the FDA that uses neuromodulation – the power of the brain and nervous system – to improve the symptoms of patients with systolic heart failure (HFrEF). Barostim is delivered by the Barostim NEO™ Generator, an implantable device that uses CVRx-patented technology to send electrical pulses to baroreceptors located in the wall of the carotid artery. Baroreceptors trigger the body’s baroreflex which in turn triggers an autonomic response to the heart. The therapy is designed to restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and thereby reduce the symptoms of HF. Barostim NEO received the FDA Breakthrough Device designation and is FDA-approved for use to improve symptoms in HF patients in the US. It has also received the CE Mark for HF and resistant hypertension in the European Economic Area. To learn more about Barostim, watch this video.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the first Black male in Michigan to be born with open spina bifida, a rare and severe condition in which the spinal cord and surrounding nerves develop externally, Coach Roscoe has seen his fair share of obstacles. At birth, he underwent immediate surgery to close his spine and was given 24 hours to live, and by the time he was in his mid-20s, he had been told countless times that he was about to die and that he would never reach normal developmental milestones. He has also been on crutches for 11 years due to a severely torn knee.

Now, at 46 years old, Coach Roscoe has not only defeated the odds to walk, play sports and live a robust life but has become a beloved member of the Concordia University athletic community, where he is in his 11th season coaching football and second year coaching women’s lacrosse. He has also released his latest book, “God Spoke to Me,” which delves into his incredible story of survival and faith.

In “God Spoke to Me,” Coach Roscoe candidly explores the difficult emotions and painful circumstances that arose during the darker times of his life, turning his appreciation to God for carrying him through it all. As he explains through the book, he has not always walked steadfast in the way of the Lord; however, the Lord has always walked with him. From giving the precious gift of life to providing comfort in hours of need, God surrounded Coach Roscoe with divine protection and blessed him with opportunities that medical professionals deemed impossible.

Opening the book with Romans 12:2, a verse that resonates strongly with his life’s path, Coach Roscoe seeks to use his testimony to pay tribute to God’s glory and demonstrate that God’s will is always good and pleasing and perfect. He hopes that his story will inspire readers to believe that through God, all things are possible, and empower them to remain in pursuit of their own dreams.

A moving collection of reflections on a life designed for a higher purpose, “God Spoke to Me” equips readers with the faith and encouragement needed to keep moving forward amidst their own trials and tribulations.

“Roscoe brought great energy and enthusiasm to our brand-new lacrosse program every day,” wrote Amanda Beger, Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach at Concordia University, Ann Arbor. “Even though he was learning the sport at the time as well, he made a great impact on our program through his passion for competing and uplifting attitude.” 

“Roscoe has had the opportunity to connect with many people in his life but the hardest thing to do is make an everyday lasting impact,” wrote Kristin Abbott. “I have seen the impact firsthand as the Head Women’s Soccer Coach at Concordia University, Ann Arbor. Roscoe takes time to create relationships but also mold athletes to believing young adults. He has transformed players with troubled relationships and low self-esteem to become strong confident believers. He has not only made an impact on the Women’s Soccer Team, Concordia Athletics and University but he has made a lasting impression in my life. I am grateful to have Roscoe at Concordia because his positivity is contagious to the entire university.”

About the author
When he was 19 years old, Coach Roscoe was approached with an offer to coach high school football and help start the middle school football program in his home school district, Willow Run, and then later, a middle school wrestling team. Within a few years, he was the head coach of the high school team. He also worked as a paraeducator during this time. After medically retiring in 2009, he went on to volunteer with the college football program at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he is currently in his 11^th season. He has also coached women’s lacrosse for two years. During his time at Concordia, he also started and ran a wrestling club for two years, with two of his athletes making it to the national championship club level. When he is not on the field, he helps in other areas on campus and remains active in his church.

RESTON, Va., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In an agreement announced today, IBM joins the sponsors of the FAIR Institute, the nonprofit organization educating the business, technical and academic communities on Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR™).

FAIR is rapidly gaining acceptance as the international standard for cyber and operational risk analysis and quantification, helping organizations apply the traditional financial analytics of business decision-making to cybersecurity investment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), the COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework, and the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Cyber Risk Oversight Handbook all recommend the use of FAIR.

“The sponsorship of FAIR Institute is a key initiative for IBM,” said Julian Meyrick, Managing Partner & Vice President, Security Transformation Services at IBM Security.

“The FAIR methodology is accredited as an Open Group industry standard and is recognized as complementary to widely adopted risk frameworks our clients use such as NIST-CSF, ISO 27001 and COSO,” Meyrick continued. “A number of our key clients have adopted the FAIR methodology and we are using this approach to assess, reduce and manage the many security risks associated with their digital business transformations. This strategic alliance will assist our clients in prioritizing their scarce resources to efficiently address the increasing cyber risks that they face.”

IBM’s sponsorship will support the Institute’s annual FAIR Conference, programs at the 23 local chapters around the world, the university outreach program, and the Institute’s ongoing research and thought leadership on risk analysis and risk management. The 10,000-plus Institute members come from 120 countries and represent 45% of Fortune 1000 companies and 25% of Forbes Global 2000 organizations.

“We are thrilled to have a market leader such as IBM support quantitative risk management practices based on the FAIR model and join the FAIR Institute as a sponsor,” said Nicola (Nick) Sanna, President of the FAIR Institute.

Recently, IBM Security announced Risk Quantification Services, powered by FAIR and RiskLens, the enterprise-grade platform for FAIR implementation, to help clients identify, prioritize and quantify security risk as they weigh decisions such as deploying new technologies, making investments in their business and changing processes. 

IBM’s Risk Quantification Services can quantify risk by calculating the probability of a security event occurring, and the probable loss projection based on expected data loss, operational disruptions and business context. Organizations can also benefit from IBM’s risk mitigation recommendations that are based on an analysis of value and impact by comparing their costs and expected risk reduction. IBM Security offers one of the most advanced and integrated portfolios of enterprise security products and services, supported by world-renowned IBM Security X-Force research.

About the FAIR Institute

The FAIR Institute is an expert, non-profit organization led by information risk officers, CISOs and business executives, created to develop and share standard risk management practices based on FAIR. Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR™) is the only international standard analytics model for information security and operational risk. FAIR helps organizations quantify and manage risk from the business perspective and enables cost-effective decision-making. To learn more and get involved visit: www.fairinstitute.org.

Barrie, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has closed its offices in Kingston and Barrie, changing the way staff work in Ontario. The provincial conservation team is taking a leap into a digital future that’s lower carbon and paperless—and lower cost too.

When DUC exited its office workplaces a year ago today, staff began a digital journey. Field staff who create and restore wetlands usually work with landowners at their kitchen tables. Suddenly, staff were working at their own kitchen tables—and some were juggling laptops, cell phones and sippy cups.

Despite the challenges, staff adapted and continued to thrive—meeting and then exceeding their 2020 wetland conservation targets while working remotely. It became clear that a remote workforce was both fully operational and very cost-effective—and that less office overhead would mean more money for on-the-ground conservation in Ontario.

Green pivot is possible thanks to digital preparedness

Today, DUC staff are equipped with functional home workspaces linked by sophisticated networks led from DUC’s national office in Manitoba. The Ontario fleet and other equipment are stored at new, secure facilities and office and meeting space are arranged with local business centres as needed.

DUC could make this leap thanks to several years of strategic workplace modernization, which has digitized work processes organization-wide including project management and contract authorizations. These preparations made possible a “silver lining” in a difficult year, allowing substantial reductions in future expenses and paper use and reductions in carbon emissions through less staff commutes.

DUC is now leaner and more nimble, ready to seize the great future for wetland conservation that’s ahead in Ontario.
