Competition ticks up to reset the clock for sepsis When every hour’s delay in treatment increases the risk of death 8%, dialing down time to diagnosis takes on acute urgency for clinicians and regulators.

And when the technology makes breakthroughs that cut the time to targeted treatment down from days to hours possible, the number of products in development explodes, as the keen competition in sepsis diagnostics covered by BioWorld in 2024 demonstrates.

Market Alert: Beyond Oil (CSE: BOIL) Appoints Top Tier Food Industry Executive as COO as it Eyes a Growing Global Footprint 11-25-2024 10:54 PM CET | Business, Economy, Finances, Banking & Insurance Press release from: ABNewswire TL;DR: Beyond Oil Ltd has appointed Aviran Fine, former COO of KFC Israel, as its new COO to drive global expansion and operational efficiency. Fine's expertise in cost management and successful use of Beyond Oil's filtration technology at KFC Israel aligns with the company's sustainability goals. Recent developments, including entry into Asia and Europe and a $1.77M funding boost, highlight its focus on innovation, market growth, and leadership alignment for long-term success. Beyond Oil Ltd. (CSE: BOIL) (OTCQB: BEOLF) (Frankfurt: UH9), a forward-thinking food-tech company dedicated to innovation in health and sustainability, has signaled its strategic intent to strengthen operational capacities through the appointment of Aviran Fine as Chief Operating Officer. This development highlights the company's ongoing commitment to broadening its global footprint while reinforcing its internal capabilities, particularly amidst a period characterized by significant international expansion. Fine, who transitions from a position as COO at KFC Israel, brings with him a wealth of industry experience accrued during his tenure at internationally recognized fast-food chains such as Burger King and KFC. His remarkable journey from a line cook to a senior executive role underscores an intrinsic understanding of operational excellence and adaptive strategy, qualities that are poised to drive Beyond Oil's ambitious worldwide growth plans forward. His successful track record,marked by transformative improvements in operational efficiency and cost management, aligns seamlessly with Beyond Oil's mission to optimize its innovative solutions through expert leadership. Its rare for a CEO to comment publicly on his COO's choice to leave the company - but this seems to be one of the unique case. Shai Carmona's the CEO of KFC Israel's franchise company (MAFCO) commented on the appointment noting Aviran's strong managments skiils and the impressive results he saw first hand from the pilot conducted with Beyod Oil: "Aviran joined MAFCO about two years ago as the company's COO and immediately rushed to improve the efficiency of the company's branches and procurement. During his tenure, operational and financial data improved singnificantly by tens of percent, and savings and efficiency were noticeable from his first months of work. Aviran is moving to Beyond Oil, a young and dynamic company that is in constant growth. After a successful pilot of about a year, Beyond Oil has become an integral part of our fryers. Since the beginning of working together and using Beyond Oil's 'magic powder' for oil filtering, our operations has become even more efficient, we reduced oil consumption, saved tens of thousands of shekels, and most importantly, workers breathe clean air in the company's kitchens. I wish Aviran much success and of course to Beyond Oil."

Recent key announcements by the company have emphasized its strategic approach to expansion, including a notable entry into Asian markets through an alliance with Hap Chan, a prominent restaurant chain in the Philippines. This move complements previous inroads into Eastern and Western European territories, indicating a deliberate effort to establish and solidify regional market footholdswith tailored strategies and partnerships. Beyond Oil's ability to secure a C$1.77 million funding injection through warrant exercises, led by strategic partner West Coast Reduction, further underscores its financial health and readiness to support its expansionary projects. This financial stability sets the stage for the effective implementation of its growth agenda, facilitated through Fine's operational insight and industry relationships, which are likely to prove instrumental in sustaining Beyond Oil's ongoing projects and scaling efforts. The appointment of Fine also underscores an important strategic alignment of leadership with Beyond Oil's innovative objectives. His firsthand experience with Beyond Oil's product during its pilot phase at KFC Israel reportedly left a strong impression, especially concerning its potential to significantly reduce costs and healthrisks associated with the use of frying oil. This practical exposure to Beyond Oil's core product offerings could facilitate a streamlined implementation of strategic initiatives, ensuring operationa coherence as the company continues to innovate within the food-techsector.Navigating the complexities of different regulatory environments, consumer preferences, and competitive pressures are vital to sustaining Beyond Oil's momentum. 2The inherent value of Fine's expertise could potentially mitigate these challenges, combining his operational insight with Beyond Oil's innovative prowess, thus optimizing product differentiation and market penetration.Recent successes in Europe, illustrated by purchase orders from significant entities like Mister Noodles in Spain, exemplify Beyond Oil's expanding influence in global markets. Complementarily, Fine's previous experience in managing complex operational systems within fast-food franchises is anticipated to bolster Beyond Oil's capabilities in logistics, supply chain management, and regulatory compliance as it navigates diverse international markets. Moreover, Beyond Oil's reported integration of its innovative oil filtration technology, heralded for its capacity to prolong oil life while maintaining quality and safety standards, signals a commitment to sustainable practices. This commitment aligns with global consumer trends favoring healthier, eco-friendly food processing solutions, potentially elevating the company's value proposition amidst increasing sustainability-focused competition.

As the company continues to navigate its evolution within the global food-tech landscape, Aviran Fine's appointment as COO may potentially play a pivotal role in optimizing operations and steering Beyond Oil towards accelerated growth and strategic success.

The only way to truly ensure you get it right would be to ask the recipient what they want, but that wouldn’t be much fun for either of you. Luckily, there’s another tactic to help you earn a “gift whisperer” reputation: seeking out unique, practical, game-changing gifts that will truly surprise and delight. But that’s about as easy as it sounds, which is to say it’s not easy at all. So, we’ve done the legwork for you. Start making your list with this compilation of some of the most innovative, functional and fun gifts of 2024. There’s something for every budget. A pepper grinder, really? Bear with me: The new FinaMill Ultimate Spice Grinder set elevates the pedestrian pepper and spice mill in both function and style. Available in three colors (Sangria Red, Midnight Black and Soft Cream), the rechargeable-battery unit grinds with a light touch rather than hand-tiring twists. That’s easier for everyone and especially helpful for those experiencing hand or wrist issues such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis. And it’s fun to use. The set includes a stackable storage tray and four pods that can be easily swapped as needed: The GT microplane grater for hard spices, nuts and chocolate; the MAX for large spices and dried herbs; the ProPlus for smaller and oily spices; and the Pepper Pod for, well, pepper. $110. To build a fire Campers and backyard firepit lovers who have experienced the heartbreak of wet wood will appreciate having a three-pack of Pull Start Fire on hand. Made of 89% recycled materials, including sanding dust, wax and flint, the food-safe, eco-friendly, 3-by-2-by-1-inch fire starters will light a fire quickly without matches, lighters or kindling. Just loop the attached green string around a log, incorporate it into a wood stack, and pull the attached red string to ignite. Each windproof, rainproof block burns for 30 minutes. $29.99. The place for a ladle is on the pot The No Mess Utensil Set from Souper Cubes , a company known for its portioned, silicone freezer trays, lives up to its name. The utensils — a serving spoon and a ladle — have innovative, S-shaped handles designed to rest on the edge of a pot, keeping them upright so they won’t slip in. The design also eliminates the need for a spoon rest or, worse, placing dirty utensils on the kitchen counter or stovetop between stirs. A silicone coating in a choice of Aqua, Charcoal, Cranberry or Blueberry keeps handles cool to the touch. $24.99. Up your birdwatching with this feeder The FeatherSnap Wi-Fi smart bird feeder could turn anyone into an avid birdwatcher. Equipped with an HD camera, the dual-chamber feeder enables up-close livestreaming of avian visitors, as well as species-logging via the free mobile app. An optional premium subscription ($59.99 annually or $6.99 monthly) includes unlimited photo and video storage, AI identification with species-specific details, and the opportunity to earn badges for logging new visitors. Turn on notifications to get alerts sent to your phone whenever there’s activity at the feeder. $179.99. Printing old-fashioned photos via Bluetooth Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Link 3 smartphone printer offers a touch of nostalgia without sacrificing technology. Just load the 4.9-by-3.5-by-1.3-inch printer with Instax Mini instant film and connect it to your Android or iOS device via Bluetooth to print wallet-size photos. If you want to get fancy, you can adjust brightness, contrast and saturation, or apply filters, including 3D augmented-reality effects, via the free Instax Mini Link app. It can also make collages of up to six images, or animate photos to share on social media. Available in Rose Pink, Clay White and Sage Green. $99.95. Houseplants don’t get much easier than this The appropriately named easyplant is one of the best gifts you can give your houseplant-loving friends, regardless of their experience level. Select a pot color, size and plant (or get recommendations based on sunlight requirements, pet friendliness and other attributes) and fill the self-watering container’s built-in reservoir roughly once a month. Moisture will permeate the soil from the bottom as needed, eliminating the often-fatal consequences of over- or under-watering. It’s also a literal lifesaver come vacation time. $49-$259.

Things To Do | Beer pairings for your holiday feasts If you’ve got a no-dairy friend on your list, a plant-based milk maker could save them money while allowing them to avoid sugar, stabilizers, thickeners and preservatives. The Nama M1 appliance both blends and strains ingredients, converting nuts, seeds, grains or oats into velvety-smooth milk in just one minute, with zero grit. And for zero waste, the pasty leftover pulp can be used in other recipes for added nutrients. The device also makes infused oils, flavored waters and soups. And, importantly, cleanup is easy. Available in white and black. $400. The perfect temperature for 350,000-plus wines For friends who prefer stronger beverages, the QelviQ personal sommelier uses “smart” technology to ensure wine is served at its ideal temperature. Unlike traditional wine refrigerators, this device doesn’t take up any floor space. It also doesn’t chill wine to just one or two temperatures based on its color. Instead — paired with the free QelviQ app — the tabletop chiller relies on a database of more than 350,000 wines to bring a bottle to its specific recommended serving temperature in as little as 20 minutes. It also suggests food-wine and wine-food pairings. Plus, the appliance serves as a great icebreaker to inspire dinnertime conversation. Available in Exciting Red, Dashing Black and Dreamy White. $495. Casting light on the grill after dark Grilling food after dark — and ascertaining its doneness — can prove challenging without outdoor lighting, and it’s nearly impossible to cook while holding a flashlight. But as is often the case, the simplest of solutions can make the biggest of impacts: Uncommon Good’s 2-piece LED Grilling Tool Set puts illumination into the handles of its stainless-steel spatula and tongs. After use, the lights can be removed and the utensils run through the dishwasher. $40.
