FORT MYERS, Fla. - December 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Founder Wil Glaser of Naples, FL, is no stranger to entrepreneurship; with several successful startups, he turned to the final frontier, space. His approach was to bridge the gap between Silicon Valley and military end-users; as a result, Space-Tech was born.

"Our rapid advanced prototyping with the influence of experienced end users from the Department of Defense addresses dire needs in the space industry. Innovation is who we are." -Wil Glaser

A newly announced Modular Satellite will be able to adapt and evolve with its open systems architecture, providing ongoing valuable data gathering and information processing for a wide range of applications.

Space-Tech focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions for the Department of Defense and beyond, combining Commercial Off Shelf Sensors and processors with Custom Optics, Software, and AI processing to improve mission-specific task performance. From building space stations, researching lunar development, and engineering a vertical launch spaceport, the team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

"Advanced ISR, Tactical Rapid Response, and Space-Debris removal are our current missions on deck, with several more to come." - Ret. MSG Zendejas 

Space-Tech is based out of Florida Gulf Coast University's Emergent Technology Institute in Fort Myers, Florida, where students are given an opportunity in STEM-focused internships such as building small satellites and learning orbital science.

Federal Court to weigh controversial bill that PIC argues is an unlawful targeting of scientific dissent as 'misinformation'

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - December 7, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has filed a First Amendment free speech lawsuit (2:22-cv-02147) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and request for preliminary injunction, against the State of California and Osteopathic Medical Board of California in order to protect the free speech of all physicians in California.

The Plaintiffs are PIC and one of its founding members, physician LeTrinh Hoang, D.O., together with Children's Health Defense, California Chapter. The legal team managing the case are Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mary Holland.

The lawsuit argues that the State has weaponized the vague phrase "misinformation," thereby unconstitutionally targeting physicians who publicly disagree with the government's public health edicts on COVID-19.

Expert cardiologist and PIC member Sanjay Verma, M.D., has been tracking and cataloging CDC errors in real time. For the case, he has provided what he calls "a detailed declaration exposing the government's scientific errors and the constitutional dangers of censoring dissent":

"To demonstrate these points of vagueness and the general unsuitability of using 'contemporary scientific consensus' as a disciplinary criterion, I have prepared a detailed overview of public health response to the pandemic broken down into categories such as Masks and Vaccines (transmission, safety, efficacy of natural immunity). I have also included evidence of what [I testify] would be considered misinformation promulgated by the CDC as well as its withholding of information which led to the then 'contemporary scientific consensus' eventually being proven wrong."

PIC President Shira Miller, M.D., was active in opposing AB 2098 while it was navigating the California legislative process, and has led the effort to bring the instant lawsuit. Opposing the bill, she wrote, "Public health is not achieved, and scientific knowledge does not progress, by censoring dissenting physicians and surgeons or anyone else. AB 2098 is anti-doctor, anti-public health, anti-science, and anti-free speech."

The scheduled hearing on PIC's motion for preliminary injunction is Jan. 17, 2023. PIC has requested the District Court issue a preliminary injunction that "AB 2098 is unconstitutional on its face." The Complaint also requests the Court "issue a declaratory judgement that PIC and CHD patient members have a privacy right in their prescriptions for any off-label FDA approved medication" such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

CORNELIUS, N.C. - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com) Valworx, Inc.,...

Despite the waning pandemic, demand for clean homes and public places remains strong. System6® delivers an easy-to-use, all-in-one, affordable solution for businesses.

SARASOTA, Fla. - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Even with the COVID-19 pandemic waning, demand for cleaners and disinfectants remains strong. Only 31% of consumers say they will clean less when the pandemic ends, according to public market research firm Mintel. And businesses remain heavily invested in cleaning, because people expect places of service, such as restaurants, hotels, and airports to be as clean as their homes. EcoClear Products helps businesses deliver those clean public spaces economically with System6®, a single-chemical cleaning system for all environments.

The pandemic drove business owners and decision-makers to educate themselves about cleaners, and as a result, they have become more accepting of novel formulas, but they also want concentrated cleaning solutions to cut waste and shipping costs. System6® delivers on those goals with a novel, environmentally friendly, concentrated solution. 

"System6 has what people are looking for today," said Christopher Stidd, CEO of EcoClear. "It's cost-effective because it's designed to be diluted on-site and doesn't need any fillers or builders. And because you can easily create any of six different blends for different cleaning purposes, you don't need an inventory of multiple chemical cleaning products."

System6® also is free from alkylphenol ethoxylates and is readily biodegradable and requires less mechanical action and dwell time on surfaces. "It's essentially a 'dirt magnet' within liquid that requires no scrubbing when cleaning," Stidd said. 

The System-6® dispenser enables six preset blends to dispense at the touch of a button. It automatically measures, mixes, and dispenses EcoClear's powerful, ready-to-use cleaning solution.

System6® is ideal for any cleaning needs that do not require sanitization, such as:

• Glass, Resilient Floor & Light Cleaning
• Multipurpose Cleaning
• Light Degreasing
• Fabric & Carpet Pre-treating & Cleaning
• Stubborn Stain Removing
• Heavy Duty & Outdoor Cleaning (Concrete Floors)

In addition to streamlining the number of chemicals used to clean a facility, System6® also helps customers maximize the full potential of the product offering. For example, by using the first setting on the wall dispenser, one gallon of System6® can make more than 1,500 32-ounce bottles of window cleaner.

EcoClear continues to expand its offerings of green cleaning and odor-eliminating products for homes and businesses. To learn more about EcoClear's offerings, visit www.ecoclearproducts.com/pro.
