New to The Street airs the Corporate documentary on the business relationship between The Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM) ($SGTM) and Australian Company VRM BioLogik Group. Kellie Walters, CEO of the VRM BioLogik Group, explains their Company’s mission in restoring topsoil’s water content and nutrition for 25% of the globe’s arable lands. The Founder/President of VRM BioLogik Group dedicated over 30 years to developing and deploying the HumiSoil productoil product to improve all soil types and increase worldwide agricultural yields. In 2020, the team at VRM BioLogik met with The Sustainable Green Team, a US-based Company that creates eco-friendly, sustainable solutions from agricultural tree waste. With an established 30+ year market presence in the US, The Sustainable Green Team’s CEO, Tony Raynor, and his wife, Tami Raynor, entered into collaboration with VRM BioLogik. The Sustainable Green Team will utilize VRM BioLogik Group’s hydrosynthesis technology in the US to create the HumiSoil product for sales and distribution in the North American marketplace. With Earth’s population of about eight billion people, farmable land is becoming scarce, and with both entities working in tandem, they can expand the revolutionary HumiSoil’s agricultural reaches. Taking green wastes and food byproducts and converting them using VRM’s hydrosynthesis technology, “Growing Water,” for the masses can create sustainable solutions for food production. The documentary gives views on the ecological visions of both entities and shows the practical solutions now available.

New to The Street TV is airing the Nasdaq Marketplace studio interview with John Lai, CEO / President PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETV) (NASDAQ: PETVW) ($PETV). The Company is a biomedical device company that manufactures, commercializes, and licenses innovative medical devices and therapeutics for companion animals. Talking with TV Host Jane King, John gives viewers an update on the recent launch of the distribution agreement between PETV and MWI Animal Health (MWI), a leading animal health products and services distributor and Amerisource Bergen subsidiary. With over $5B in annual revenue, MWI is one of the largest distributors of veterinary drugs and products, with lots of business resources and skilled personnel. Securos is the educational division at MWI, which provides hands-on training, resources, and continuing education for veterinarians, helping them understand the full benefits of products. The educational and sales/marketing teams at MWI now promote and distribute PETV’s injectable patented Spryng with OsteoCushion Technology that treats osteoarthritis and joint afflictions for dogs, horses, and cats. As a naturally derived product, Spryng mimics collagen tissue that significantly improves animals’ afflicted joints. The feline osteoarthritis version of Spryng is coming to market soon. John says the Spryng roll-out with MWI is going very well. He explains three reasons for Spryng’s continued growth: 1) it is a naturally derived product, 2) it is not a pharmaceutical or biologically derived product, and 3) it has a recyclable package in line with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards. Recently, PETV hired more seasoned personnel with over two decades of sales/marketing experience in the pet industry. COVID increased pet adoption, but with the recent economic slowdown, pet owners are not buying as many pet products. Since Spryng is a less expensive and viable treatment for pet osteoarthritis, covered by pet insurance, John informs viewers that most pet owners seek quality care for their pets regardless of economic conditions. PETV continues to see increases in veterinarians’ using Spryng.

The segment is an updated version of the original interview, which aired on September 25, 2022.

Brodie Sutherland, P.Geo., CEO of Tocvan Ventures Corp (OTC: TCVNF) (CSE: TOC) (FSE: TV3) ($TCVNF) is with New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King from the New York Stock Exchange Studio. Tocvan Ventures Corp. is a natural resource Company that acquires, explores, and develops mineral resource properties. During the interview, Brodie gives viewers a broad overview of the Company’s objective in seeking mineral resource projects with historical data in known mineralized regions. In the State of Sonora, Mexico, Tocvan’s has two exciting properties, the Pilar Project and El Picacho Project, both in exploration stages, within known historical geological gold-silver bearing belts. The State of Sonra has an active mining industry with roads, utilities, and other infrastructures, allowing Tocvan to have a low-cost operational existence. The area has well-educated and established mining personnel available as a viable human resource for the Company. Tocvan’s management team comprises successful geologists, finance, and market experts. Brodie expects price volatilities in gold/silver to continue in the short run. Still, long-term prices should rise due to worldwide inflationary concerns and technological advancements in products using precious metals. Viewers can learn more about Tocvan Ventures Corp.’s gold and silver mining concessions in Mexico by downloading the on-screen QR code, available during the show or visiting Tocvan Ventures Corphttps://tocvan.com/.

The New to The Street airs the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio interview with Michael Kong, Chief Executive Officer/ Chief Innovation Officer at Fantom Foundation (CRYPTO: FTM) ($FTM) (“Fantom”). TV Host Jane King talks with Michael, who explains the Company’s highly scalable blockchain platform that offers DeFi, cryptocurrency trading, decentralized apps (dApps), and enterprise ecosystems to end-users. The ecosystem continues to evolve with new advanced technologies and business development products provided to end-users. Michael says that gaming continues to grow in Fantom’s ecosystem. The number of games deployed on the platform offers gamers a variety of gaming spectrums to play. Michael informs viewers that a Twitter feed site, nick.ftm breaks down each game on Fantom and does a great job describing gameplay. Michael sees blockchain and other cryptocurrency ecosystems directly affected by global macroeconomic issues. Market changes in the tech sectors significantly change the crypto prices. As tech goes upward or downward, crypto moves in tandem. Michael sees an upward price appreciation in the space because he believes that the central banks worldwide cannot sustain higher interest rates. The recent Bank of England’s decision to stabilize its markets with bond purchases proves that interest rates will come back down. Worldwide, governments cannot afford their debt payment obligations at current rates. Michael believes many have lost confidence in global monetary policies and will migrate to using crypto for goods/services. As a keynote presenter at the SmartCon convention, NYC, and other forthcoming conventions, Michael talks at these conventions about Fantom’s business use cases: speed, security, and scalability. End-users on the Fantom Foundation platform enjoy the professionalism available for tech support, market support, fundraising activities, and secure and inexpensive transactions.

New to The Street TV airs Dennis Nguyen’s, Founder, CEO, and Chairman at Society Pass, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOPA) ($SOPA) interview from the Nasdaq MarketSite studio. Dennis provides TV Host Jane King with a corporate update on the Company’s business activities throughout Southeast Asia. As a leading data-driven loyalty and e-commerce ecosystem, Society Pass’s digital ecosystem growth continues with a focus on different business verticals, including lifestyle, telecom, travel, food/beverage, and digital media. Dennis explains that SOPA looks at each potential acquisition with a strict matrix. A target entity must have visionary entrepreneurs, founders with recognizable credentials, a 3–4-year successful track record, and 50-70% growth rates. Acquisition targets must be within five countries of interest, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Society Pass plans to join all its businesses with its Society Points loyalty platform. The ecosystem continues growing, with over 3.3 million registered users and over 200,000 registered merchants. As the ecosystem grows, revenue increases, and the reward points become more valuable. The Company’s recent acquisition of NusaTrip, a leading Indonesia-based online travel agency, added over 1.2 million registered users to the SOPA ecosystem. Its subsidiary, Leflair.com, Vietnam’s leading lifestyle e-commerce platform, continues growing with more end-users onboarding onto the ecosystem. Southeast Asia has strong GDP growth, a population of approximately 630 million with a median age of 26-32, and over 80% of its society owns smartphones. SOPA believes these macroeconomic and demographic statistics can establish strong revenue expectations for user growth of the Society Pass digital ecosystem. Also, the number of free trade agreement amongst the Southeast Asian countries give Society Pass another opportunity to grow its ecosystem further.

New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King interviews Jason Cozens, CEO at Glint Pay, from the Nasdaq MarketSite. Glint Pay is the only worldwide payment platform that uses allocated GOLD for everyday purchases. Jason explains how anyone can own gold and use that holding to pay for daily goods and services. The Glint Pay App is available to everyone 18 years and older, and once approved, account holders can buy, sell, save, spend, and send GOLD holdings with minimal fees using a debit MasterCard. Each account holder’s GOLD is stored in secure vaults in Switzerland and insured. Each time a transaction occurs, that percentage changes the gold amounts held on account. Jason has seen an 85% devaluation of the US dollar in his lifetime. He became very aware of the structural limitations of the financial system during the housing crisis in 2008. Jason saw a patchwork of central bank efforts to prop up struggling economies through fiat money manipulations, increasing money supply and inflationary effects. Each Glint account holder, in essence, creates an individualized gold standard for themselves while protecting their purchasing power from being destroyed by economic pressures worldwide. Inflation is a significant tax on everyone worldwide; get the Glint App and protect yourselves from fiat monetary issues.

On this week’s New to The Street show, Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO Sekur Private Data, Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0), is with TV Host Jane King at the New York Stock Exchange studio. Sekur Private Data, Ltd.’s Sekur® cybersecurity software products give end-users secure email and text massage solutions. Big Tech social media platforms are always in the news for various reasons. Kanye West (Ye) recently stated his intent to buy the social media platform Parlor. The saga with Elon Musk’s tentative take-over of Twitter continues. Hackers love these open-source social media platforms to spread malware and other electronic infections designed to steal personal data. Alain explains that hackers use very sophisticated AI (Artificial Intelligence) programs to monitor accounts; they know the suitable topics to attract interest to get one to open emails or download a site full of intended harm. Hackers like two main subject matters: financial/taxes and political. Emails and posts with these topics get the most actions where hackers gain access to your devices and data. Alain reminds viewers to be diligent, look at the email/post, and ensure legitimacy before engaging a response; do not click anything if you are unsure. These simple steps will certainly reduce your chances of becoming a hack attack victim. The best defense is using the Company’s SekurMail and SekurMessenger, a military-encrypted closed-loop system. Subscription fees are as low as $7.00 per month. Sekur Private Data doesn’t use any Big Tech open-source platforms, never mines data, never uses 3rd party providers, and never asks for a phone number from a subscriber for services. The Company owns, controls, and operates its servers in Switzerland, a country with the most stringent privacy laws in the world.

New to The Street airs TV Host Jane King’s Nasdaq MarketSite studio interview with Christopher Davenport, Chief Executive Officer of Auto Parts 4Less Group, Inc. (OTCQB: FLES) ($FLES). Christopher explains the uniqueness of the Company’s online auto-part marketplace, AutoParts4Less.com. He describes how the Company evolved from its single-source product eCommerce site LiftKits4less.com into its growing marketplace platform. He explains the difference between eCommerce single-source sites and Marketplace platforms. The Company’s technology-driven platform enables buyers and sellers to interact in selling parts for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and boats.

New to The Street airs its “Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security Segment” with internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO, Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®). This week Alain and TV Co-Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry discuss META (f.k.a- Facebook) sending a notice to about 1 million users about a login hack. META’s open-source WhatsApp and other free software require a phone number to download an app. Many hacks come from phone numbers used on these open Big Tech platforms. These Companies, which offer free text messaging and email programs, are not cybersecurity entities; they are marketing entities that want to harvest data and resell it for profit. Unfortunately, end-users become victims of a cybersecurity breach where they share personal and private data on these platforms, which can get stolen. Alain gives viewers frightening information that, most likely, the Chinese have every US citizen’s social security number and health records. Also, DNA records are probably in the Chinese hands since 23andMe uses Big-Tech platforms for data. Switzerland has modern nuclear and biochemical fall-out shelters throughout the country to help citizens in the event of an attack. Sekur products are hosted in Switzerland, using a proprietary military-grade type of encryption. End-users, both individuals and companies, who subscribe to Sekur’s suite of solutions are getting a cybersecurity solution that can virtually eliminate electronic communication hacks. It is like a cybersecurity communications fall-out shelter for subscribers who know they are protected. The SekurSend/SekurReply features on SekurMail/SekurMessenger and the Chat-by-Invite function operate on a closed-loop private and secure platform. For as low as $7.00 a month, a subscriber gets 100G storage.Additionally, a subscriber can use PROMO CODE: SEKUR15 to get 15% savings on a yearly plan, and by getting the first two months free, a subscriber is saving about 33% in total.

Grace Sun, 16, receives $75,000 Top Award for a new kind of organic electrochemical transistor at the world’s largest pre-college science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competition.
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and WASHINGTON, May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Society for Science (the Society) announced that Grace Sun, 16, of Lexington, Kentucky, won the $75,000 top award, the George D. Yancopoulos Innovator Award, named in honor of the pioneering drug researcher and Regeneron co-Founder, Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer, in the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (Regeneron ISEF), the world’s largest pre-college science and engineering competition. Other top prizes went to projects in second-order cone programming, microplastics filtration and multi-sensory therapy for dementia.

The top winners were honored during two award ceremonies: the Special Awards on May 16 and the Grand Awards Ceremony on the morning of May 17. In total, over $9 million USD was awarded to the finalists based on their projects’ creativity, innovation and depth of scientific inquiry. The competition featured nearly 2,000 young scientists representing 49 U.S. states and nearly 70 countries, regions and territories across the world.
Grace Sun, 16, of Lexington, Kentucky, won first place and received the $75,000 George D. Yancopoulos Innovator Award for her research on building a better organic electrochemical transistor that she hopes will be used to develop new electronic devices that could help detect and treat serious illnesses like diabetes, epilepsy and organ failure. To overcome the problems that have previously prevented such devices from working effectively inside the body, Grace developed a new way of chemically treating their organic components, which greatly improved their laboratory performance.
Michelle Wei, 17, of San Jose, California, received one of two Regeneron Young Scientist Awards of $50,000 for her research to improve the speed and efficiency of a type of software that is useful in many fields such as machine learning, transportation and financial systems. Michelle’s new approach involved determining a quick approximate solution to the second-order cone programming problem, then splitting the initial cone into smaller cones, which enabled her new algorithm to greatly outperform previous approaches.
Krish Pai, 17, of Del Mar, California, received the second Regeneron Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for his machine-learning research to identify microbial genetic sequences that can be modified to biodegrade plastic. His new software, called Microby, scans databases of microorganisms and determines which ones can be changed genetically to biodegrade plastics. In tests, he identified two microorganisms that can be genetically modified to degrade plastic at a cost he believes would be ten times less than traditional recycling.
 “Congratulations to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair 2024 winners,” said Maya Ajmera, President and CEO, Society for Science and Executive Publisher, Science News. “I’m truly inspired by the ingenuity and determination shown by these remarkable students. Coming from around the world with diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines, these students have shown that it is possible to come together in unity to tackle some of the toughest challenges facing our world today, and I could not be prouder.”
Regeneron ISEF provides a global stage for the world’s best and brightest young scientists and engineers. Through this competition, Regeneron and the Society are fostering the next generation of STEM leaders who are pioneering solutions to improve our world. Since 2020, Regeneron has provided STEM experiences to approximately 2.4 million students, on track to meet its goal of 2.5 million by 2025.
“The talent, intelligence and potential of this year’s Regeneron ISEF finalists is truly inspiring, and I congratulate each on their remarkable achievements,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., co-Founder, Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron. “Science competitions like ISEF were pivotal in shaping my own career and fueling my passion to fight back against disease. I look forward to seeing these students continue to push the boundaries of science and technology to create positive and sustainable change for all humanity.”
Other top honors from the competition include:
Justin Huang and Victoria Ou, both 17, of Woodlands, Texas, received the Gordon E. Moore Award for Positive Outcomes for Future Generations of $50,000 for their new prototype filtration system that uses ultrasonic waves to remove microscopic plastic particles from water. In lab tests, the acoustic force from the high-frequency sound waves removed between 84% and 94% of the suspended microplastic particles in a single pass. The students are now working to scale up and fine-tune their experimental system.
Ingrid Wai Hin Chan, 17, of Hong Kong, China received the Craig R. Barrett Award for Innovation of $10,000 for her research on using a multi-sensory therapy for dementia patients. Her mixed therapy app would allow patients to practice physical and cognitive skills through a personalized, immersive environment using virtual reality headsets. Ingrid conducted an eight-week study with six people living with dementia and found that the cognitive function of patients who used her prototype improved in several areas. She believes her app could serve as a viable option for dementia patients with limited access to in-person professional therapy.
Tanishka Balaji Aglave, 15, of Valrico, Florida, received the H. Robert Horvitz Prize for Fundamental Research of $10,000 for her investigation into a natural alternative treatment against citrus greening, a disease that threatens citrus farming in many parts of the world and is currently only treated with antibiotics. Tanishka injected the trunks of infected trees with an extract from the curry leaf tree, and found through tests that this potential method could effectively and sustainably manage citrus greening disease.
Maddux Alexander Springer, 18, of Honolulu, Hawaii, received the Peggy Scripps Award for Science Communication of $10,000 for his research into fibropapillomatosis (FP), a disease that is the primary cause of death in green sea turtles.
