GolfLync, one of the hottest and fastest-growing social networking platforms for golf enthusiasts, has announced that enrollment has surpassed 75,000 members across the United States. This monumental growth underscores the company’s mission and ability to unite golfers, creating dynamic golfing communities that continue to thrive. GolfLync’s revolutionary Virtual Golf Clubs(TM) (“VGCs”) have reshaped how golfers engage, share experiences, and bring together like-minded individuals to share experiences and the love of the sport (GolfLync Surpasses 75,000 Members Nationwide and Hosts Members in Over 700 Private and Public Virtual Golf Clubs(TM)).

From local golf clubs to large national networks, GolfLync members are embracing the platform’s abilities – featuring innovative features with private and public VCGs as the epicenter for organizing tee times, sharing golf experiences, hosting events, and building lasting connections. The enthusiasm and interaction of GolfLync’s members facilitate its ability to accomplish this remarkable growth.

GolfLync’s co-founder and CEO, Noah DiPasquale, shared his enthusiasm about the platform’s member growth and success: “The driving force behind GolfLync’s remarkable journey has been the genuine camaraderie and connection our members have found.

SenesTech Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES) Eager to Work with Cities to Address Rat Crises Using Effective Fertility-Restricting Method

  • SenesTech pioneered an innovative rat control method that restricts the fertility of both male and female rats, ContraPest(R)
  • With cities around the country and the world, in general, implementing a raft of rat control methods, SenesTech is eager to work with city governments to address the rat crises
  • Rat populations are surging in many major cities, driven by the post-COVID rebound in business and climate change
  • Studies show that ContraPest can reduce rat populations by more than 90% and sustain the reduced numbers, when added to an integrated pest management plan

Once threatened by the sudden COVID-induced closure of businesses and restaurants, which forced rats to adapt by moving to residential areas in search of food or die – renowned rodentologist Bobby Corrigan estimates that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, died – the long-tailed rodents are now seemingly enjoying a change of fortune. Rat populations are surging in many major cities, driven by the post-COVID rebound in restaurant operations and the reopening of businesses, which are providing alternative and ample locations where the rodents find food. Moreover, “Climate change has brought longer stretches of warmer weather, which means more time for breeding,” explains an article in PBS (https://ibn.fm/Pqceu).

This is concerning. Rats cause billions of dollars in damages annually worldwide and carry harmful and sometimes deadly diseases. Thus, to avert a crisis, cities have moved to control the vermin, turning their attention toward addressing the trash problem as one of their many rat control initiatives. The Mayor of Washington, D.C., for instance, has allocated $3.4 million for the 2024 financial year to begin the replacement of residents’ trash bins with newer, larger cans.

On the other hand, New York City has changed the trash take-out times for residents and businesses to prevent garbage from sitting out for long, attracting rates. Additionally, the city has started mandating all food-related businesses to securely containerize food waste rather than disposing it in trash bags, with the New York City Mayor Eric Adams also hiring Kathleen Corradi as the new Director of Rodent Mitigation, the city’s first rat czar. New York City and Washington D.C. both rank among the rattiest cities in the country, according to pest control company Orkin, which ranks cities based on the number of new commercial and residential commercial treatments.

As cities continue to come up with and implement rat control initiatives, one company, SenesTech (NASDAQ: SNES), has turned to innovation, developing an innovative and unorthodox anti-rat method that many cities are adopting. SenesTech is looking to work with more cities as they seek to reduce rat populations. This April, company CEO Joel Fruendt attended New York’s Rodent Roundup and, together with SenesTech’s sales team, highlighted the importance of bringing ContraPest to New York City. “We are eager to help the new Rat Czar in addressing New York’s rat crisis in an effective and earth-friendly manner,” commented Fruendt (https://ibn.fm/17I4Q).

ContraPest(R) is a revolutionary technology that targets the reproductive capabilities of the roof and Norway rats, controlling their populations by restricting fertility in both males and females. SenesTech dubs ContraPest as the Birth Control for Rats(TM) and has, in fact, trademarked the tagline. Registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in 2016, ContraPest was the first – and remains the only – rat contraceptive for male and female rats.

Not only is it designed to be humane, but it also does not bioaccumulate, meaning it does not travel up the food chain, affecting non-rat populations. SenesTech says the product is deliciously made with fats and sweets, attracting rats, which keep returning for more. This further boosts its effectiveness. ContraPest indeed works, according to the company. “When used as part of an integrated pest management (“IPM”) program, studies show it can reduce rat populations more than 90% and sustain the reduced numbers,” reads SenesTech’s website (https://ibn.fm/ZHZn7).

To further boost deployment, SenesTech launched a new delivery system for ContraPest, the Isolate Bait System(TM), earlier this year. The system boasts a simple design that enables more efficient deployment. It incorporates an enhanced formulation of ContraPest that is anticipated to offer enhanced performance of the fertility control bait in the field (https://ibn.fm/0d4tb). SenesTech is continuously working to provide effective solutions to the rat problem.

PaxMedica Inc. (NASDAQ: PXMD) CEO Presents ASD Pipeline and Corporate Presentation at H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference

  • Howard Weisman presented PaxMedica’s goals and plans to investors at the H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference on September 12, 2023
  • The presentation defined the company’s intention to generate significant funding for its ASD program by first gaining approval for suramin sodium in the treatment of a rare and deadly infection using the same drug
  • The global ASD treatment market was valued at $2.02 billion and is expected to reach $3.28 billion by 2030

Howard Weisman, CEO of PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”) for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”) and other serious conditions with intractable neurological symptoms, recently participated in the H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference on September 12, 2023. He presented the company’s presentation to investors, expressing the company’s overall goals and plans for its lead programs – PAX-101 and PAX-102. He also participated in one-on-one meetings with investors registered at the conference.

As expressed by Mr. Weisman in the company’s presentation, PaxMedica plans to develop a drug for autism using suramin sodium, which was created in the past to treat Human African Trypanosomiasis (“HAT”), a deadly form of sleeping sickness, but was discontinued. PaxMedica plans to use data from early drug testing as part of an application to treat rare cases of sleeping sickness, which occasionally infects Americans.

If the data is strong enough to persuade the FDA to approve suramin sodium for use in treating HAT, the company plans to commercialize PAX-101 initially for HAT treatment, potentially in partnership with a bigger pharmaceutical company. This early approval would then help substantially fund PaxMedica’s greater purpose, developing a novel treatment using suramin sodium as a treatment for ASD and Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (“FXTAS”).

According to Grand View Research, the global ASD treatment market was valued at $2.02 billion in 2022. By 2030, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1%, resulting in a value of $3.28 billion. This growth is attributed to the number of novel treatments being tested and expected to be approved during the forecast period. There is an urgency among parents and caregivers of individuals with ASD for treatment – fueling the demand for the development of treatments (https://ibn.fm/PrgTA).

Current treatments on the market for ASD only address the symptoms of the condition, and no approved pharmacologic treatments target its cause or symptoms. APTs target the excess production of purines in cells. An overexpression of purines can offset homeostasis and result in an overproduction of cellular adenosine triphosphate, the main energy molecule in all living cells. PaxMedica is on a promising path to address the unmet medical needs of ASD, bringing hope to millions.

At this time, PaxMedica is the only public company focused on developing treatments for the core symptoms of ASD.

PaxMedica’s lead programs include:

  • PAX-101 (IV Suramin) for ASD – PAX-101 completed a Phase 2B study for ASD in 2021. The results of PaxMedica’s Phase 2B study, which targeted 52 subjects across six sites in South Africa, were presented to AACAP in October 2021.
  • PAX-102 (Intranasal Suramin) – PaxMedica has developed a proprietary intranasal suramin formulation.

PaxMedica’s presentation made special note that although initial data evaluation and associated FDA approval for suramin sodium for treating HAT should be completed within a few months, which will generate the necessary funding for research and development for an ASD drug, any final autism drug approval resulting from those trials will likely take a few years to complete.

SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB) to Deploy Its Domestic Violence Monitoring Solution in Finland, Supporting the Country’s Recently Strengthened Law on Restraining Orders

  • SuperCom recently secured a new national program to deploy its Domestic Violence Monitoring Solution to the government of Finland
  • Last year, Finland’s Parliament adopted the Finnish government’s proposal to enhance the effectiveness of the country’s law on restraining orders, resulting in a strengthened law that allows the court to order electronic monitoring of offenders
  • SuperCom will deploy several innovative and proven technologies that are part of its PureSecurity EM Suite, including the PureProtect mobile phone application, PureTrack smartphone, PureTag ankle bracelet, and PureMonitor cloud-based monitoring software
  • The new program follows a successful project with the Finnish government that saw SuperCom deploy its PureSecurity EM Suite to reduce prison overcrowding and lower recidivism

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a leading provider of advanced safety, identification, and security products and solutions to governments as well as public and private organizations globally, recently announced it had secured a new national program to deploy its Domestic Violence Monitoring Solution to the government of Finland. The project aims to safeguard victims, proactively prevent domestic violence, and empower Finnish authorities with advanced technologies that enhance the safety and well-being of the country’s citizenry (https://ibn.fm/8i8Z1).

A part of SuperCom’s family of PureSecurity Electronic Monitoring (“EM”) products, the Domestic Violence Monitoring Solution includes several innovative and proven technologies: PureProtect mobile phone application, PureTrack smartphone, PureTag ankle bracelet, and PureMonitor cloud-based monitoring software.

At the center of the life-saving domestic violence solution is the PureProtect app installed on the victims’ smartphones or the PureTrack phone. PureProtect uses advanced zoning, proximity, alerting, and management capabilities to update victims on offenders’ whereabouts and send alerts upon prompt or whenever offenders move threateningly close to their victims (https://ibn.fm/gYkz3). The PureMonitor, on the other hand, is cloud-based monitoring software that law enforcement officers use to monitor offenders and manage the PureTag ankle bracelets worn by the offenders.

“We are delighted to secure another program for our innovative Domestic Violence Solution; this time in Finland. This achievement follows our successful deployment of other monitoring solutions for inmates and individuals on probation in Finland, and successful deployment of our domestic violence solution in other nations globally,” commented SuperCom CEO Ordan Trabelsi.

Finland introduced electronic ankle bracelets back in 2011 to track convicts, allowing them to serve short sentences at home instead of imprisonment (https://ibn.fm/r67uu). But for a long time since, the Nordic country applied electronic monitoring to offenders found repeatedly guilty of drunk driving and offenders who refused to do civilian or military service per their convictions. Little progress was made in adopting electronic tags to enforce restraining orders.

On its part, however, the Justice Ministry under the previous administration had long been mulling over the use of electronic monitoring and ankle monitors/tags to help safeguard victims of domestic violence, according to a 2019 article in YLE (https://ibn.fm/a5TAa). With the National Council of Women of Finland vocalizing the inadequacies of restraining orders in protecting victims of domestic violence, given that attackers could – and did – repeatedly violate the orders, EM was seen as a modern solution that helps prevent such violations.

To seal some of the loopholes in the prevailing regulations on restraining orders, which directly or indirectly facilitated the violations, the government last September submitted a proposal (HE 143/2022) to Parliament (https://ibn.fm/3sTN1). Finland’s Parliament adopted the proposal at the end of last year, and the resultant law, EV 203/2022, became effective October 1, 2023.

According to a Google translation of a section of the legislation, “At the request of an official entitled to arrest, the court may order that compliance with the extended restraining order is monitored by technical means, with technical devices placed in the possession of the restrained person or attached to the wrist, ankle, or waist… in order to combat the threat of a crime…” (https://ibn.fm/JrwCc).

SuperCom’s new national program with the government of Finland follows a successful $3.6 million project with the Finnish government. Launched earlier this year in March, the project saw SuperCom deploy its PureSecurity EM Suite, a best-of-breed EM and tracking platform, in Finland to help the country improve its public safety while reducing prison overcrowding and lower recidivism (https://ibn.fm/Fq777).

“Expanding our relationship with Finland through a new program within only a few short months from original project launch demonstrates the trust the nation’s Ministry of Justice places in SuperCom. This also acts as another testament to the undeniable effectiveness and reliability of our solutions,” continued Trabelsi.

According to Trabelsi, the new program underscores SuperCom’s dedication to providing cutting-edge security solutions to its customers and “marks yet another milestone in our commitment to creating safer communities around the world.”

  • SekurVPN – creates a secure, encrypted connection between a client’s device and the internet, giving clients access to the web safely and privately by routing connections through a server and hiding online actions. All data sent and received is hidden from prying eyes, including Internet Service Providers, potential hackers, and government surveillance agencies.
  • SekurMessenger – a Swiss-hosted private and secure messaging communications app providing secure and private chat, self-deleting chat, voice recording, and file transfer via any mobile device, tablet, or computer desktop using military-grade encryption to protect information sent. Communications are transmitted only within secure servers and are designed for organizations that need to protect their flow of information and secure their communications with customers and partners.

ReportLinker has estimated that the global cybersecurity market was valued at $173.5 billion in 2022. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9%, resulting in a value of $266.2 billion by 2027. The market is being driven by the increased number of global data breaches, with malicious characters being able to operate from anywhere (https://ibn.fm/NhS7X).

With all the threats, including dual ransomware attacks, Sekur offers customers a confidential and safe way to store their information in Switzerland using military-grade security. All data, whether physical, network-based, or encryption security, is stored in bank-approved, state-of-the-art ISO-certified data centers used by Swiss and global banks and most UN organizations, corporations, and governmental organizations – the location is chosen because of the country’s neutrality, independence, strong privacy laws, long-standing political stability, and excellent international relations.

  • Electronic Servitor Publication Network, helping B2B companies use smart technology to reach target markets, is focused on eliminating wastefulness, driving growth, and spawning modern businesses that can navigate the ever-evolving digital world
  • The company has developed the revolutionary Digital Engagement Engine(TM), which combines cutting-edge data analysis, a technology stack that can identify even the narrowest of niches within a target market, tailored content, and precision delivery
  • The platform expands and creates increased reach to new communities and preserves existing reach by nurturing audiences and creating genuine interest
  • The Digital Engagement Engine(TM) and other smart technologies are shaping the future of content marketing

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) can help marketers accelerate and optimize written content creation, presenting improved ways of driving engagement, reaching readers in the most efficient modes possible, building authority in their respective industries, and guiding consumers through the purchasing process. According to an Insider Intelligence report, “AI can assist with the planning stage of content production using tools that dynamically cluster relevant content topic to help markers identify actionable opportunities” (https://ibn.fm/54GbF).

Leading marketers are also capitalizing on the power of smart technologies to help them maintain a consistent tone and writing style, accelerate the writing process by generating content briefs or outlines, and create regular, quality content. It’s important to remember that AI is just one of many smart technologies shaping the future of content marketing; other technologies are playing an equally important role in supporting the work of marketers. One such technology is the Digital Engagement Engine(TM), the brainchild of Electronic Servitor Publication Network (OTCQB: XESP), a company looking to disrupt the market for B2B companies by driving better digital interactions that enable better results.

In observing today’s saturated markets, XESP identified the inefficiencies of simple omnichannel marketing and trendy guerilla marketing strategies, noting their inability to generate enough traction and noise within digitally connected communities. “Have you been getting the results from the tools and technologies that are out there today, and are you satisfied with that?” XESP CEO Peter Hager asked in an interview with The Spotlight Network (https://ibn.fm/EM0Ge). “Our answer is no; the answer of the people we interact with is no, and they are demanding [for] more.”

On its part, Electronic Servitor Publication Network has embraced the challenge and is out to fill the market gap and effectively meet the demand for more. The company focuses on eliminating wastefulness, driving growth, and spawning modern businesses that can navigate the ever-evolving digital space, thus increasing digital interactions with new and existing communities. Central to the success of its plans is its revolutionary Digital Engagement Engine(TM).

“With our Digital Engagement Engine(TM), it’s not just about throwing everything you’ve got against the wall and hoping something sticks,” says the company. Instead, the company’s advanced platform combines cutting-edge data analysis, a technology stack that can identify even the narrowest of niches within a target market, tailored content, and precision delivery to create a “laser-focused approach that makes every customer feel like you’re talking directly to them.”

Marketers and businesses that partner with XESP have their work cut out for them. Marketing teams have to constantly manage and optimize their content to stay relevant. But often, content management and optimization take up a lot of time and can be confusing even for the most experienced providers. However, partnering with Electronic Servitor Publication Network makes this process far smoother.

XESP uses its Digital Engagement Engine(TM), built on workflows and a microservices architecture that automates tasks needed to make digital connections, to more easily provision, manage, and monetize content. In doing so, the platform expands and creates increased reach to new communities and preserves existing reach by nurturing audiences and creating genuine interest, thus boosting the visibility of brands. Put simply, Electronic Servitor Publication Network is reinventing how companies digitally connect with people.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) to Showcase Trademarked REE Separation Process Details in Canadian Autotech Program, U.S. Defense Department Project

  • Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is devoted to improving the supply chain for rare earth elements (“REEs”) through commercialization of its trademarked RapidSX(TM) technology
  • REEs are in high demand for modern computer applications that use the metallic products in high-grade batteries, motors, speakers and hard drives
  • China effectively dominates the industries that produce and process REEs, leading U.S. and Canadian governments to prioritize a China-independent supply chain for the critical technology
  • Ucore has been demonstrating the advantages of its RapidSX(TM) technology over standard SX ore separation technology at the company’s Ontario, Canada test facility
  • The company will present information on its achievements at this month’s Autotech CTA Fall 2023 Program and in a U.S. Department of Defense project
  • Ucore is preparing to begin building a commercial facility in Louisiana, southern United States, that will build up to processing 7,500 metric tons per year of total rare earth oxides (“TREOs”) by 2027

Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a strategic metals supply chain-focused enterprise, has built a step-by-step series of achievements in its push toward commercializing its trademarked technology for the separation of heavy and light rare earth elements (“REEs”) in North America. The company will discuss those accomplishments with key automotive tech industry members and investors at this month’s Autotech CTA Fall 2023 Program (https://ibn.fm/RXOHv).

REE supply chains, vital to the production of high-grade batteries that supply power to a wide variety of modern computer technologies, are mostly dependent on industry in The People’s Republic of China, so revitalization of North America industry independence has been promoted not only by the business world but by government interests as well.

The U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) has awarded a $4 million grant to Ucore to help it demonstrate the importance of its REE separation technology, called RapidSX(TM), to sustaining national interests in the face of tech espionage concerns as well as concerns about an international supply chain subject to the whims of other countries’ policies (https://ibn.fm/sG6wv).

In August, Ucore welcomed U.S. Embassy staff members for a tour of the company’s demonstration facility in Ontario where RapidSX(TM) process output is being compared to REE output from the separation process standard used in the industry at large (https://ibn.fm/RY1NQ). On Oct. 5, the company further announced efforts to precisely quantify the advantages of RapidSX(TM) for the DoD’s Rare Earth Element Separation Technology Capabilities Prototype Project, which aims to develop solutions that advance and sustain both traditional and emerging defense manufacturing sectors, preserve critical and unique manufacturing and design skills, support and expand reliable sources, and identify and mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.

“This arduous yet thorough process will soon enable us to discreetly quantify the previous qualitative attributes of the RapidSX(TM) technology platform and the resulting rare earth element products,” Ucore VP and COO Mike Schrider stated (https://ibn.fm/vdcXb).

Ucore’s participation in the Autotech CTA Program also shows cooperation between government and commercial industry partners to strengthen North American technological interests. The Program is organized by The Government of Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service in Palo Alto, Calif., and the Province of Ontario Trade & Investment Office in San Francisco, and Ucore was selected by the government’s Global Affairs Canada department to participate.

The event provides Canadian companies with an opportunity to broker connections with potential U.S. customers, strategic partners, and investors, as well as auto-tech exporters. Electric vehicles are one key technology end user for REEs — Neodymium is frequently used in EV motors and Dysprosium, Terbium and Praesodymium are commonly used in Neodymium magnets, all of which are among the REEs Ucore is processing.

Ucore is preparing to transition from production at its test demonstration facility in Canada to production at a commercial Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”) facility in Louisiana that the company expects to begin building before the end of the year. The SMC will be central to Ucore’s supply chain plans, and the company plans to produce 2,000 metric tons per year of total rare earth oxides (“TREOs”) by early 2025, growing to 7,500 tons in 2027.

The company also owns an Alaskan rare earth mine prospect, which portends the possibility of Ucore onlining its own American-based REE feedstock at some future date.
