We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Just noting this here:
Parity Group plc (AIM: PTY), the data and technology-focused recruitment and professional services company, announces that, following a three year term on the Board of Parity Group plc, Gerry Brandon has tendered his resignation as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, to focus on his other responsibilities. Mr Brandon's resignation is to take effect on 31 March 2023.

An update from company on relationship with PTY would be good... Consider this post a Drive4News.
And while addressing that an update on relationship with WaterRising Institute would be great...:

Integumen and Water Rising Institute in 3-year Great Lakes water contamination detection Project
The appointment to manage the water systems will continue for three years, with an initial trial period of six months, and an annual renewal thereafter.
https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/integumen-plc-first-covid19-detection-agreement-for-detroit-mi-and-fresh-water-in-great-lakes-usa/
Renewed, current, active?
Google search for "Detroit River AI Water Quality" less than enlightening...
Did they ever see the promised PD? Presumably I'd be wasting my breath asking after the BT...
The below linked appears new to Modern Water website this week:
https://www.modernwater.com/monitoring/mobile-monitoring-unit/
So somebody doing something (even if the page is poorly written...).
Assuming the graphic at below page is correct why has it not been reproduced (ignoring van in image being left-hand drive)?:
https://www.glanaco.com/mobile-kit-out-surveillance/
Is the LuminUltra equipment still part of the offering?
For those keeping count that's the same van pictured at Modern Water as always, leaving the known count at one. Compare the registration to Glanaco page...
AGM Q&A quoted below for anybody that vaguely recalls a different number.
DVRG AGM

Q39: As of today how many vehicles comprise Modern Water Mobile Services?
5 vehicles are being used to promote the mobile services offering, which is being considered as franchised contract units. They are being used for site visits in the food industry and can be hired by universities to run on-site tests. There will also be units in the US but China is not expected to be part of the early roll out due to distances that make promotion not as cost effective at conferences
OPTEEV were discussed on here previously way back when (although obvious searches not pulling up information). Quick look suggests it's the same technology in their handheld unit as in their room monitoring units (Patriot for those that recall).
If I remember rightly the answer to FAQ "Can ViraWarn tell the difference between COVID-19 and Influenza?" was no. A limitation of the technology. But answers not loading on Wayback Machine.
Indeed from the FAQ on current opteev.com site:
Can ViraWarn tell the difference between viruses?
No, ViraWarn is a first-line screening device that instantly screens for respiratory viruses through breath analysis. ViraWarn does not distinguish between these viruses but will alert you of viral infection. When receiving a positive result from ViraWarn, it is important to take the necessary precautions to not spread the infection to others, as all respiratory viruses can be potentially dangerous to high-risk individuals. It is also important to confirm if the positive result is COVID-19 by undergoing a PCR test.
The advantages of an aptamer based system remain... VOC testing has its limitations. What remains to be seen is will DVRG be the first to bring an aptamer system to market.

Also worth noting GB isn't exactly out of the picture... Not while he remains with Microsaic:
https://www.microsaic.com/about-us/
Presumably he retains the confidence of some (who should know how accurate his claims have been ...):

Aptamer: the York biotech working on precision cancer treatments
The group has developed a test that can detect Covid-19 in wastewater with the environmental technology group Deepverge and are now pursuing tests for other contaminants.

Anybody that disagrees can contact Julia Kollewe...
Nothing of interest so nothing to say. But since I've logged in...
Not reaching standard of interesting but few bits and pieces:
https://food.blog.gov.uk/2022/11/24/path-safe-improving-the-detection-and-tracking-of-foodborne-disease-and-antimicrobial-resistance/
PATH-SAFE, company involved? If not why not ... Active progress being made there.
Don't recall mentioned on this board but UK spending with KMK (dating 16 Nov):
https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/KMK/award-of-1635m-bio-threat-contract-by-uk-government-pa7ba1pclvmkbg3.html
Granted not exactly big money... But given they were involved in testing alongside PD from DVRG probably worth mentioning.
Glanaco looking busy (small order 18 Nov) - and no that's not a positive:
https://m.facebook.com/100063622297944/
You'd think you'd at least get Glanaco branding on below... but no:
https://ankerlokken.dk/info/
Given numerous employees responsible for marketing you'd maybe think UK could muster some publicity. With World Cup nearly come and gone and nothing...
Thank goodness for China for some signs of life:

Great technology...
23 Dec was Christmas post from Gerry last year. Won't improve mood for anybody looking back on that given subsequent events.
JL76, and when they Google STC they'll be faced with a low rating and complaints of poor service. All achieved by giving away free tests... (Achieving huge demand that is not reflected on Play Store download count).
The company needs to publicly address standards of service to enable public to have confidence in using the offering. Not make use of friends and family to rebalance reviews...
Certainly doesn't seem unreasonable that if paying customer results take longer than X days from receipt of sample by STC (what X should be others can decide) then fee should be automatically refunded (or perhaps a free follow up test? Wouldn't be as pleasing for customer but would at least see business getting 50% of fee per test...). The guarantee of service level should be clearly set out on STC site.
Perhaps a partner could sort things out...
Still exploring?:
https://www.londonstockexchange.com/news-article/DVRG/deepverge-to-explore-options-for-labskin-division/15547635
No deal better than a bad deal.
"the Company confirms that it and its partners have been unable to reach mutually acceptable commercial terms with the Investor toward formalising the Project's sale and that further discussions with the Investor will not be pursued."
The appeal of STC to concerned parents should be obvious. You'd maybe think a service offering marketed directly to them would be equally obvious.
Yet website terms:
d. You promise that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age if you are providing a skin sample.

Can we expect a page added to STC site to take advantage of yesterday's broadcast? Nothing as yet...
Is the new STC app still expected this year?
An imbarecment!

Sure who wants to win anyway...
If somebody could be good enough to accelerate updating company properties to reflect the present reality that would be good... example of a couple pages noted below:
https://www.deepverge.com/about/
http://www.modernwater.cn/ManagementDV.html
The problem should be obvious.
Given DVRG Twitter account has yet to be corrected I'll not hold my breath.
At least we've had confirmation Riverfort have been paid.
Just how stupid would somebody have to be to think the below is a competitor to PD?:

To answer my own question, somebody with no understanding of the technology... So Shorteverything levels of stupid.
Different browser... Here you go:
My grandmother used to tell me that lies were always short lived and only a fool would repeat them.

As I said, and here we have Shorteverything... A useful fool. Also a knowing liar.
Chesh,
Throw the below into Google. Should get you a result that is a LinkedIn post (I refuse to sign into that site, and it's currently disliking me... so can't give you a url):
iwona evans "A weak man invented lies and other weak men repeated them"
Who that man is I do not know. But interesting? Possibly... And here we have Shorteverything.

Currently with LuminUltra. Some of their equipment to be found in Modern Water vans:
