Modern Meadow Wins 2023 EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award


Bio-FREED™ Fast Resource Efficient Enhancing Dyeing powered by Bio-Alloy™ delivers to the textile industry a greener one-step dyeing system that is a drop-in to replace the commonly used three-step dyeing process. Bio-FREED™ is a one-step continuous dyeing process that reduces water use by up to 95%, dye usage by up to 80% and decreases energy use by approximately 67%. Water reduction is achieved by eliminating two of the three water-intense steps, whereas the 80% dye usage reduction is achieved through precision delivery of the dyes to the fiber surface in the textile. Similarly, eliminating two energy-intensive steps decreases energy usage by approximately 67%. Bio-FREED™ treated textiles can also be pre-dyed or post-dyed further enabling additional environmental and supply chain benefits.

The Bio-FREED™ process is unique because it also increases production efficiency while improving polyester fibers’ resistance to color migration. Furthermore, It also offers a greater reduction in water and energy use relative to the ECOFAST Pure technology claims.

Powering Nonprofits in Creating Positive Change


“Our company is motivated by the desire to do good things in the world,” said Charles Zhang, founder and CEO of Donorbox. “We’re excited that we’ve reached this landmark, not just because this is a major milestone for Donorbox as a company, but because we recognize what an incredible impact this amount of money has in the hands of those who need it most.”

In addition to its industry-leading technology, Donorbox boasts a world-class support team fully dedicated to going above and beyond for customers and helping them reach their goals. Whether walking a customer through using Donorbox for the first time, assisting with technical difficulties, or supporting with setting up useful integrations or importing data, the Donorbox customer service team is there to help every step of the way. The Donorbox customer experience is one of the company’s most frequently mentioned standout elements.

Zhang continued, “While the amount underlines our momentum as a business, it more importantly demonstrates the trust nonprofits across the globe have in Donorbox, especially during times marred by political, economic, and environmental challenges.”

Donorbox will expand its capacity to help nonprofits in the coming year by introducing a new CRM system. Organizations will be able to utilize Donorbox as a single solution for both fundraising and comprehensive donor management. With Donorbox’s CRM, customers will be able to view important insights and analyze trends to better manage donors and members, helping to amplify fundraising efforts. In 2024, Donorbox aims to integrate LLMs to automate supporter analytics and management tasks, allowing teams to concentrate on mission work. Donorbox is in the initial stages of this development but believes AI can significantly benefit nonprofits by freeing resources and simplifying processes.

Helping nonprofits like Maya’s Hope, Hydrating Humanity, Organic Soup Kitchen, For the Love of Alex, and Nova Ukraine, Donorbox is focused on the stories of hope and transformation it has enabled through its platform.

“When we discovered that Donorbox could meet all our platform needs, from affordability to easy recurring donation options, and integrate with our existing website and payment processor, we were really impressed. But, it was their commitment to ongoing development that made us confident we had found the right platform partners to grow with us,” noted Matt Peterson, founder of Hydrating Humanity, which provides safe water, hygiene education, and hope in developing nations. “Today, over 350,000 school children in East Africa have clean water daily because of the donations made to Hydrating Humanity, and we have many more to serve.”

Donorbox remains unwavering in its commitment to power nonprofits, not only addressing the immediate needs of its partners but also foreseeing, innovating, and tailoring solutions for a future filled with ever-evolving challenges. From crafting tools for faith-based entities to championing cashless in-person giving, Donorbox is ready to pioneer the next chapter in fundraising.

“Donorbox seems to care that we are their clients, and I feel like that has been the experience since day one,” added Maya Rowencak Crauderueff, founder of Maya’s Hope, which works to improve the quality of life for orphaned, impoverished, and special-needs children on a global scale. “Being a client of Donorbox, I feel like I’m part of Donorbox like a family. Anytime we have an issue, the support team is incredible. They’re able to move issues forward, and that’s a huge deal. I can think of one of the platforms we were using where weeks went by trying to get ahold of someone. Having quick and knowledgeable support and a sales team like Donorbox is worth its weight in gold.”

About Donorbox:

It’s undoubtedly the ‘keep it simple’ approach applied to products, user interface, and app integrations that makes Donorbox so appealing to nonprofits. Available in 96+ countries, 11 languages, and over 45 currencies, the core multi-step donation form is simple, yet flexible and intuitive for nonprofits and donors to set up, customize, embed, and manage. Multiple secure payment methods place Donorbox in the same class as regular fundraising software, but easily scheduled, and managed, recurring donations are the hero of this product offering. When you add all that to the lowest conversion fee in the market, it is clear why over 50,000 nonprofit organizations trust Donorbox as their partner in making the world a better place.

Quantitative Bioanalysis of Antibody-Drug Conjugates by Mass Spectrometry, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks


In this free webinar, gain insights into the complexity, comprehensive strategy and regulatory considerations for bioanalysis in support of the development of drug-conjugated antibody (ADC). A case example will be presented for developing and validating a panel of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) pharmacokinetics (PK) assays: free drugs (payloads), drug-conjugated antibody (intact ADC) and total antibody. Attendees will learn bioanalytical strategies for ADC drug development and how to apply the PK assay results to inform on ADC stability and dose selection.

TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Discover a groundbreaking webinar delving into bioanalytical complexity, strategy and regulatory considerations when developing ADC therapeutics with a focus on developing and validating liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) pharmacokinetics (PK) assays.

Antibody-drug conjugates are a new and fast-growing class of targeted drugs consisting of “antibodies, cytotoxic drugs and linkers”. The antibody-drug conjugates are designed to increase the specificity and reduce the toxicity of cytotoxic drugs by utilizing antibodies to deliver the drug specifically to target cells (e.g., tumor cells) while avoiding toxicity in healthy cells. Design of a comprehensive bioanalytical strategy is critical to enable successful regulatory approval.

Understanding the PK profile of antibody-drug conjugates in pre-clinical and clinical studies is a regulatory expectation. Due to the complexity of ADC molecules, there are several analytes that need to be quantified to characterize ADC PK profiles, including free drugs (payloads), drug-conjugated antibodies (intact ADC) and total antibody. Amador Biosciences will share a case study demonstrating the successful development and validation of LC-MS methods for all three analytes.

Join this webinar to gain insights into bioanalytical considerations for ADC development and to learn how to develop and validate LC-MS PK assays which are used to generate data to inform stability and dose selection.

Join experts from Amador Bioscience, Meina Liang, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), President of Bioanalysis & Biomarkers; and Andrea Ngai, Associate Director, Bioanalysis & Biomarkers, for the live webinar on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, at 12pm EST (9am PST).

Author Hopes to Help Women Identify Red Flags They Might Overlook in Romantic Pursuits


“I want to help women realize that choosing themselves is key in living a fulfilling life;” said Tucker, “so they don’t have to endure the trials and tribulations I experienced.”

Tucker breaks the book up into several key messages, encouraging women to set clear boundaries, set the standard for their life, and to shift their perspective. She urges her readers to treat themselves the way they want to be treated, and to love themselves enough to walk away from people, places, and things that are no longer serving their best interest.

“Be intentional about the desires of your heart and the vision you have for your life,” urges Tucker. “Use discernment in your interactions with others, evaluating whether each friendship or relationship is adding value to your life or taking away from it.”

Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals Announces Plans to Construct a 40-Bed Physical Rehabilitation Hospital in McKinney, Texas (their 16th location and 2nd in the DFW Area)


The $26M project will be the latest in Everest’s construction of modern inpatient physical rehabilitation hospitals. Everest is known for its unmatched patient care and for developing state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation hospitals. With each of the 40 private rooms complete with contemporary art, 65″ flat screen TVs and a private spacious bathroom, staying at Everest’s hospitals are more compared to a luxury hotel versus a typical hospital setting.

To better serve the needs of patients, the hospital will include spacious, technologically advanced inpatient physical therapy gyms, a large outdoor mobility courtyard for therapeutic use, a completely furnished life skills training apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom, in-house dialysis, and an in-house pharmacy. Everest also understands the importance of the support system surrounding patients so, included in the facility are several family gathering areas and an extra-large dining hall. The hospital will serve patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, speech impediments, amputation, pulmonary disease, orthopedic injury, and other medically complex conditions.

Everest Rehabilitation Hospital in North McKinney, Texas will create over 100 jobs and provide for an approximate $8 million-dollar per year payroll to the community. “We are thrilled to serve the nationally known fastest growing community of Collin County by bringing our high-end comprehensive physical rehabilitation hospital to its citizens. We are eager to not only serve the residents of North McKinney, but also the rapidly growing cities of Plano, Anna, Melissa, Allen, Fairview, Prosper, Celina, Frisco and the surrounding communities. We adamantly believe that patients thrive when their environment and their level of care surpass their expectations. The level of care in our acute physical rehabilitation hospital setting cannot be provided at other levels of care such as skilled nursing facilities (SNF). The average length of stay at a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation hospital is one-third of a typical stay at a skilled nursing facility with far better results.” Jay Quintana, Everest Rehabilitation’s CEO said. “We provide one to one physical therapy, five to seven days a week, daily medical visits by rehabilitation physicians and a strong 24 hour a day nurse to patient ratio that contributes to optimal outcomes and the highest quality of care.”

Everest Rehabilitation Hospital McKiney’s location will feature an interdisciplinary physician-led experienced team of rehabilitation therapists focused on increasing patient strength and endurance and improving quality of life in a modern, state-of-the-art setting.
