Hobdey-Sanchez, J.D., Idaho State Broadband Program Manager. “These public-private partnerships with Internet service providers – like Comcast – will help ensure every Idaho resident has access to reliable, high-speed Internet, regardless of where they live. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and empower people with the tools they need to survive in today's connected world.” Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond network expansion and aims to increase economic mobility through programs that help bridge the digital divide like Internet Essentials, which offers eligible households high-speed Internet for $9.95/month, and Internet Essentials Plus which is available for $29.95/month. Affordable computers are also available through Internet Essentials. “Our fiber network expansion in Franklin County, Idaho represents a significant milestone in our commitment to connecting communities,” said Kyle Weaver, Sr. Director of Construction, Comcast Mountain West Region. “This project underscores the critical importance of public-private partnerships, which have been instrumental in bringing next-generation connectivity to this region.

Birdfy Unveils Next-Gen Smart Bird Feeder With Camera 5G For Seamless Birdwatching

Rev Up Marketers

Birdfy, the renowned pioneer in providing advanced devices to observe the avifauna, proudly presents its cutting-edge invention—the smart bird feeder with camera 5g, Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro. Through a few simple steps below, bird watchers can connect with their favorite intelligent bird feeder and get an unprecedented view of the wildlife with breathtaking clarity. A high-definition 5G camera, combined with Artificial Intelligence, means creating a product that allows people interested in birds and nature and generally curious to observe Nature practically. This bird feeder camera is linked to bird watching, which has always been a timeless practice. Technological features have enhanced bird observation to make it more precise, convenient, and engaging. As 5G technology allows for a live broadcast of footage from anywhere in the world through a smartphone, people can watch birds go about their daily routines in real time and, with absolute quality, a whole new level of interaction with wildlife. Birdfy and its team aim to ensure a connecting link between technology and nature. Moving on, the Smart Bird Feeder with Camera 5G gives birdwatching enthusiasts a new way to be more immersed in wildlife. The latest technological developments in wireless connectivity, imaging, and artificial intelligence have been bundled into creating a product that makes what comes naturally enjoyable and easily accessible for the users. Bringing Nature Closer With 5G Connectivity The 5G technology in the Birdfy Smart bird feeder camera allows it to stand out from other bird feeders and well-established intelligent gadgets. In the past, bird feeders with cameras utilized Wi-Fi connectivity, which has inherent signal strength, distance, and stability constraints. These challenges are countered with the Birdfy feeder utilizing 5G connectivity, which offers the feeder a quick, steady, and incredibly responsive connection. With 5G, people can stream high-definition video virtually anywhere and use it to document the birds that come to the feeder. This feature allows users to put their bird feeder in different urban, suburban, or rural settings, get real-time video feeds and alerts, and never miss any moment. HD Camera: Capturing Wildlife With Unmatched Clarity The most important feature of this bird feeder camera is its high definition, which ensures that users get a clear view of the birds visiting this feeder. They come with 1080P HD cameras for clear and detailed video and audio feed, and it follows that even the details on the feathers, the beak, and the wings are recorded in fine detail. Regardless of the bird, people might be watching; whether it is a daily visitor in the backyard or a migratory bird they have rarely come across, the quality of the camera ensures that bird watching feels almost as if the bird is produced by technology in living reality. Another feature of the Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro is that its camera cannot only provide video feedback in the daytime but can also see in the dark. Bird activity persists even beyond the dark, and now, with infrared technology, the feeder cam shall still be active at night without losing a clear image. This feature is especially useful to those interested in the night activities of some bird species. It might be preferable for those who would like to be accompanied by the company of birds at any time of the day. Furthermore, it encompasses provisions for shooting under different lighting conditions. When the sun is high, or clouds are hanging on the view, the camera soon changes its settings to let the viewer see what is happening. For nature lovers who like to record their observations, Smart Feeder is ideal for recording birds and sharing these moments with friends or social media groups. AI-Powered Bird Identification: Learn As Watch This bird identification system is another unique feature that makes the Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder with camera 5G one of the best in the market. It is not just the feeder for observing birds but for getting knowledge from every encounter. With the help of modern machine learning, feeders can recognize and name different species of birds when they arrive. This feature provides a learning factor to bird watching and dispels the challenge of knowledge of the many species of birds within the area to novice bird watchers. When birds approach the feeder to perch or feed, the AI system compares the video stream's size, colors, and other characteristics to a database containing a broad array of bird varieties. Once recognized, the app alerts the user’s smartphone and offers more elaborate information on the bird and its natural environment and behavior patterns. This assists the users in appreciating birdlife and makes bird watching a more informative grind. Motion Detection And Instant Alerts The Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro is intended to notify and entertain users, even if they don’t monitor the feed in real-time. With modern motion sensors, the bird feeder camera ‘sees’ when a bird is there, and an instant message appears on the user’s mobile device. This way, those interested in birds can visit frequently, even if they may be occupied or out of town. The motion detection feature is very sensitive and will not be tripped by wind or anything other than a bird’s movement; thus, users will be updated only on important changes. Once a bird is identified, the system records its video, which can be recorded for later use or relayed immediately. This feature is handy for people who do not have the time to check the feeder frequently but want to know what is happening around their compound. A New Standard In Birdwatching Technology Since Birdfy developed the Smart Bird Feeder with Camera 5G, bird watching has always been different. Powered by the newest connectivity, imaging, and artificial intelligence technologies, this feeder provides the unique feeling of surrounding oneself with nature’s scenes. Whether wildlife observation is a practice or a new and developing enthusiasm for the specific consumer, the Birdfy Feeder 2 Pro is an improvement and development that will significantly enrich one’s experience. About Birdfy Birdfy is a well-known company specializing in developing and producing bird care items around the world, and their mission is to help people far better understand and appreciate nature.

From Nuvalent to Nuvectis Pharma: New Report Highlights NXP900's Synergy in NSCLC and Anticipated NXP800 Data Update

Global Markets News

A new report from PESG Research underscores Nuvectis Pharma’s (NASDAQ: NVCT) innovative approach to treatment resistance within precision oncology. The report highlights Nuvectis' NXP900 for its promising synergy in NSCLC and builds anticipation around an upcoming data update for NXP800, potentially positioning Nuvectis alongside notable industry players such as Nuvalent (NASDAQ: NUVL) and Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT), both highlighted in previous analyses. According to the PESG report, NXP900—currently in Phase 1—showed strong synergy with market-leading ALK inhibitors by inhibiting ALK fusion-positive NSCLC cells resistant to alectinib (marketed by Roche) and lorlatinib (marketed by Pfizer). These results, presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Symposium, add significant momentum to Nuvectis’ growing pipeline, which is rapidly gaining industry attention. Readers are encourged to read the full report and its disclaimers and disclosures which are linked at the end of this update. NXP900’s Targeted Approach in Overcoming Resistance In preclinical studies, NXP900 enhanced the effectiveness of ALK inhibitors by targeting SRC/YES1 kinases, which address resistance pathways often beyond the reach of standard ALK inhibitors. This mechanism could provide a vital option for patients with limited treatments, with PESG suggesting that NXP900’s synergy with existing therapies might make it a strong first-line combination candidate to reshape NSCLC treatment standards. NXP800 Data Update Draws Broader Anticipation While NXP900 garners attention in NSCLC, Nuvectis is also preparing for a data update on NXP800, a candidate targeting platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. This update is highly anticipated, as it will likely provide insights not only into tumor shrinking capabilities but also into managing thrombocytopenia, a side effect seen in earlier trials. Positive findings here could further solidify Nuvectis’ role in precision oncology. Drawing Comparisons: Nuvectis vs. Nuvalent and Summit The PESG report places Nuvectis in comparison with notable oncology players, such as Nuvalent, whose ALK inhibitor programs target complex NSCLC cases and hold a current market cap of approximately $6.6 billion. Meanwhile, Summit Therapeutics recently saw substantial growth with ivonescimab in another NSCLC subset, with its market cap reaching $15 billion. With a current valuation of $150 million, some suggest that Nuvectis has the potential to follow a similar trajectory as it approaches clinical milestones. Experienced Leadership with a Stake in Nuvectis’ Future Nuvectis’ leadership team has garnered industry confidence through a track record of successful drug approvals and high-value milestones. CEO Ron Bentsur, along with CFO Shay Shemesh and COO Enrique Poradosu, collectively own approximately 35% of the company, aligning closely with shareholder interests. The team’s experience and proven performance in guiding oncology companies through IPOs and transformative growth cycles could potentially set a strong foundation for Nuvectis’ trajectory. As the data for NXP900 and NXP800 unfolds, Nuvectis, if successful in its journey, could follow a path similar to Nuvalent and Summit, capturing market interest by addressing cancer resistance with precision.

PrivateCap Launches New Funding Source for Equipment Finance Industry

PrivateCap

PrivateCap today announced its launch to unlock new sources of capital for the equipment finance industry by connecting institutional investors to originators in the small and mid-market leases and business lease and loan market. PrivateCap’s founders, Bill Phelan and Barry Ripes, bring extensive expertise in the equipment finance market and a successful track record in building businesses in the private and public sectors. “Capital markets are shifting across the world, making this the opportune time to launch PrivateCap,” said Ripes, President of PrivateCap. “Our decades of experience conducting credit analysis on mid-market and small ticket leases and loans uniquely qualifies us to connect originators to institutional investors.” Today’s capital landscape is shifting from public to private sources. Banks are increasingly challenged by rising capital costs or the need to limit concentrations. Independent finance companies have had to rely on a few sources for capital, such as warehouse facilities or the Asset-Backed Securities markets, which are costly to access. “Private sources of capital should be part of every originator's funding strategy,” according to Phelan, Chairman and CEO of PrivateCap. “We intend to tell the remarkable story of the equipment finance market to institutional investors to create a new asset class of investments. PrivateCap uses a low-cost process to assess leases and loans in the smaller transaction sizes.” Phelan and Ripes each bring twenty-year track records to PrivateCap. Phelan co-founded and ran PayNet, which maintained the largest proprietary database of small business loans, leases, and lines of credit until its sale to Equifax in 2019. After the acquisition, Phelan ran Equifax’s Commercial Business, the company’s fastest-growing business, until earlier this year. Ripes was the Financial Services Leader at PayNet and Equifax, working closely with lenders, originators, and independent financial institutions. Both are long-standing members and former board members of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association. About PrivateCap Founded by industry executives Bill Phelan and Barry Ripes, PrivateCap is an investment management firm serving the mid-market and small-ticket business credit market. The firm provides the equipment finance industry with a new funding source, creating greater diversity and fueling growth.

Birdfy Launches Feeder Pro 2, The Perfect Companion For Capturing The Beauty Of Blue Jay Bird

Rev Up Marketers

Birdfy, a company for innovative bird care products, is happy to present the Feeder Pro 2, a bird feeder for the attractive and well-loved blue jay. This latest release targets bird watchers and nature lovers who find value in the blue jay's beauty, wit, and deep spiritual significance. Featuring cutting-edge innovative technology, enhanced durability, and environmentally friendly materials, the Feeder Pro 2 ensures a top-tier bird-watching experience, especially for those with an affinity for bluejays. Blue jays, with their brilliant blue feathers and bold personalities, have long been symbols of clarity, intelligence, and communication in spiritual traditions. The blue jay spiritual meaning is deeply associated with confidence, adaptability, and resilience. For enthusiasts of this influential avian association, the Feeder Pro 2 opens a new chance to bond with these none-too-shy birds in their backyards. Key Features Of Birdfy Feeder Pro 2 Incorporating sustainability features and ease of use, this feeder is suitable for attracting a blue jay bird. Some of the key features include: Blue Jay-Specific Feeding Design In contrast to other feeders available in the market, the product has been designed and developed to meet the feeding requirements of blue jays. The feeder is refurbished to fit more enormous seed trays, which the blue jays go for, including sunflower seeds, peanuts, and corn. The feeder design also permits perching, which will enable blue jays to take food while in comfortable situations. Smart Bird-watching with Advanced Camera Technology The product incorporates the advanced AI-based camera system into Birdfy, enabling bird lovers to view the birds’ activities using a mobile application. The intelligent camera records high-definition photos and videos as soon as it identifies the presence of a bird, including the blue jay. Using its motion-sensing feature, birdwatchers can instantly be notified whenever a blue jay comes into the vicinity, making it a little more exciting. Eco-Friendly Materials for Sustainable Bird Care The company also promotes sustainability, and in this Feeder Pro 2, the material used is 100% recycled and biodegradable. This way of thinking promotes the environmentally responsible process of fostering blue jays or other birds for those who want to continue being ecologically friendly. The feeder has a reasonably robust construction that allows it to resist elements, enabling it to hold its place in the garden for a very long time. Enhanced Durability for Year-Round Use Being made of weather-resistant material, the product is protected against almost everything, including rain, sleet, and even the sun when it’s too hot. It is necessary to provide birds with food all year round, and few birds are as expected in this region as blue jays. This feature also makes the structure more rigid to other forms of invasion by squirrels and other pests so that blue jays can feed peacefully. Easy Setup and Maintenance Therefore, the Feeder Pro 2 was developed with ease of use among the key objectives. This design makes it possible to assemble and install it quickly, besides the detachable parts that make it effortless to maintain and refill. This means that users don’t have to refill the seed regularly; maybe they can just focus on watching the beautiful blue jay bird. Why Blue Jays Are Special: The Blue Jay Spiritual Meaning Blue jays have fascinated birders and have been a symbol for spiritualists for many hundreds of years. In different cultures, blue jays are always related to protection, freedom of speech, and courage. Their dual meaning is often tied to messages of protection, self-expression, and boldness. Blue jays' aggressive tone and constant vocalization are interpreted as a desire for people to find their voice and assert themselves. In some cultures, blue jays are seen as messengers of messages from the spirit world, asking people to follow their instincts and wield the power they possess. Therefore, the company fully understands the position that blue jays occupy in fauna symbolism and mysticism. The Feeder Pro 2 was created to be unique, paying homage to this bond and intending to be a steady and warm home for these glorious birds. Birdfy: Bridging Technology And Nature The company has been the pioneer as far as inventions in products for birds are concerned. The Feeder Pro 2 is also part of the company’s mission to use innovative ways to allow people to interact with nature in an environmentally friendly manner. By introducing clever bird-watching software into one’s everyday existence, the company assists users in strengthening their relationship with the birds in their neighborhood and focusing on the blue jay bird. The choice of the blue jay bird is exceptional – it is filled with symbolism and beloved by millions of people. Thus, with Feeder Pro 2, they are glad to allow people to enjoy these birds worthily and support this idea. Instead of merely providing bird feeders, the company has the idea of making the site a bird-watching station. In addition to improving backyard birding, this smart bird feeder is an educational device suitable for families and school-going children. By applying intelligent technologies and environmental initiatives to the design of products, everyone learns more and increases their interest in birds, their feeding time, and attempts to protect them. Another novelty, the feeder’s smart camera, will let users share beautiful bird photos and videos with other people on social networks, creating a big community of like-minded people! The feeder is strongly built, providing long-lasting solutions for both the birds and the bird watchers on the other side. Customers will appreciate that the company is associated with a company that cares for the lives of birds and the environment. About Birdfy Birdfy is a leading international manufacturer of natural bird products and accessories whose mission is to improve harmony between humans and birds. The company is aware of the importance of preserving the environment and using solutions that help people and birds. Therefore, it develops products to make bird watching enjoyable, fascinating, informative, and useful for people of any age.

AGC Biologics Appoints Alberto Santagostino as new Chief Executive Officer

AGC Biologics

AGC Biologics, a leading global Biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), today announced the appointment of Alberto Santagostino to Chief Executive Officer and President of AGC Biologics, effective November 1 st. Alberto has had a distinguished career in biotech, pharma and managing large-scale global CDMO operations. His expertise and knowledge will lead AGC Biologics’ next chapter as the company reemphasizes delivering reliable services to biopharmaceutical developers without unnecessary complications. AGC Biologics will have a friendly business approach with customers and provide them with expert CDMO services to become an increasingly preferred service provider. AGC Biologics intends to be valued as collaborative, reliable and stable: it will be a safe harbor for those customers seeking to minimize geopolitical risks, intellectual property concerns, steep price expectations and transactional or confrontational supplier relationships. This direction builds on the company’s 30 years of biopharma CDMO experience, including serving more than 250 customers across over 400 different projects, with more than 90 successful regulatory inspections and 25 commercial products launched. Alberto joins AGC Biologics after most recently serving as the Head of Cell and Gene Technology (CGT) at Lonza for six years. While there, his business unit grew four-fold in size by enabling clients to advance four new CGT therapies to commercial production and many more to late-stage clinical milestones, with now thousands of patients being cured annually. During his tenure, Alberto led the industrialization of CGT therapeutics manufacturing: from a “science workshop” into “industrial scale compliant operations” with several positive Pre-Approval Inspections (PAI) from the U.S. FDA and EMA that led to three CGT biomanufacturing sites becoming licensed for commercial supply. Before Lonza, Alberto was a Partner in the Pharmaceutical & Medical Product practice at McKinsey & Co., serving more than 70 clients with over 200 projects. While there, Alberto developed a proprietary operational benchmark that analyzed the performance of more than 30 biomanufacturing sites and published books and articles about Biopharma operations.
