  • MIL-OSI Europe: AFRICA/MOZAMBIQUE – Clashes after the murder of two opposition figures

    Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

    Maputo (Agenzia Fides) – “We call on all those involved to exercise restraint while the competent authorities carry out their investigations,” said Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of Tanzania and Chair of the Political, Defense and Security Cooperation Committee of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), following the violent clashes that took place yesterday, October 21, in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.Following the murder of two representatives of the Podemos party, Elvino Dias and Paulo Guambe, clashes broke out between demonstrators and the police. The two politicians were shot dead in an ambush in the center of Maputo by several men in their car. Elvino Dias was a lawyer hired by Podemos leader Venancio Mondlane to file a complaint with the Constitutional Court for alleged electoral fraud in the presidential election held on October 9 (see Fides, 9/10/2024). The final election results are due to be announced this week, but projections of the election have already been published, according to which the FRELIMO party, in power since independence in 1975, is in the lead with 65% of the vote (and 162 deputies) and its candidate Daniel Chapo has won the presidential race. The big surprise was the second place of Podemos, which obtained 43 deputies in the unicameral parliament, relegating the historic opposition party Renamo to third place, which obtained only 23 deputies (in the previous legislature it had 69).SADC, meanwhile, notes in the statement by Samia Suluhu Hassan that “the elections were peaceful”. She calls on the Tanzanian authorities to “take all necessary measures to investigate the killing of the two Podemos members”. In addition to Maputo, where shops remained closed yesterday, incidents also occurred in several other cities, in particular in Beira and Pemba, where shops also remained closed. (L.M.)

  • MIL-OSI Security: Defense News: Remembering Two Trailblazing Aviators: Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay “Miley” Evans and Lt. Serena “Dug” Wileman

    Source: United States Navy

    In the world of U.S. Naval Aviation, very few names will be forever imprinted with their squadrons, their communities, and their shipmates. Among them are Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay “Miley” Evans and Lt. Serena “Dug” Wileman, two highly skilled, combat-decorated aviators who tragically lost their lives during a routine training flight near Mount Rainier on Oct. 15, 2024. More than just names and ranks, they were role models, trailblazers, and women whose influence touched countless people on the flight deck and well beyond.

    They had recently returned from a deployment with their squadron, Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130, “Zappers,” with whom they spent nine months at sea as a part of Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) (IKE). Operating mostly from the Red Sea, they supported Operations INHERENT RESOLVE, PROSPERITY GUARDIAN, and POSEIDON ARCHER, where they were involved in the most dynamic combat action in defense of the strike group and freedom of navigation since World War II.

    During their deployment, both Evans and Wileman distinguished themselves in combat operations. Their efforts directly contributed to the Navy’s mission defending U.S. and Coalition forces while keeping the seas open and free with precision and purpose. These role models cemented legacies by making history that will inspire future generations of Naval officers and aviators.

    Born to Lead: Lyndsay “Miley” Evans

    Following her time at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, Evans was commissioned through the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and earned her “Wings of Gold” as a Naval Flight Officer out of Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola. While familiar with the spotlight, Evans always carried herself as a humble yet strong leader – the quiet professional. As an EA-18G Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO) and veteran of two sea tours, she earned the respect of the entire Growler community for her tactical expertise, mentorship to those of all ranks and communities, and ability to bring out the best in everyone around her.

    In 2023, Evans was part of the all-female Super Bowl flyover, a historic moment marking 50 years of women flying in the Navy. This event also symbolized the progress of women in aviation across all military branches. But for those who knew her best, this was only one highlight in a notable career defined by high performance and distinction. After completing the challenging 12-week HAVOC graduate-level course at NAS Fallon (the TOPGUN of the Growler community), Evans earned the honor and responsibility of becoming a Growler Tactics Instructor (GTI). Living up to this responsibility daily, her approachable and knowledgeable demeanor enabled the training and development of countless junior EA-18G Pilots and EWOs. Therefore, it was no surprise to her mentors and peers when she was recognized as the FY2024 Growler Tactics Instructor of the Year, a prestigious honor earned through her tactical acumen and sustained leadership.

    During her 2023-24 deployment with CVW-3 and the IKE Carrier Strike Group (IKE CSG) in the Red Sea, Evans coordinated and executed multiple combat strikes into Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen, making her one of the few women to fly combat missions over land. In her critical role as VAQ-130’s Training Officer, she helped develop and execute new warfare tactics that required knowledge, innovation, and a comprehensive understanding of aerial warfare and electronic attack in a nascent theater against a constantly evolving threat. The tactics, techniques, and procedures for the EA-18G she pioneered defending against Houthi aggressions directly contributed to the successful defense of the entire CSG and will be used as a template for adaptability at the unrelenting pace of combat in future fights.

    Evans was awarded two Single Action Air Medals for her exceptional performance during strikes on January 12 and 22, 2024. She also earned three Strike Flight Air Medals for her contributions to missions flown between December 21, 2023, and March 29, 2024.

    The Heart and Soul: Serena “Dug” Wileman

    A native of California and commissioned through Officer Candidate School, Wileman was at the beginning of a promising and illustrious career. As a senior first-tour Naval Aviator, she established herself as an energetic, vocal, and positive influence in VAQ-130. Known for her heart of gold, passion, and unrelenting smile, Wileman was always committed to improve and grow, not only for herself but every Sailor and officer around her.

    During her 2023-24 deployment, Wileman planned and subsequently flew multiple strikes into Houthi-controlled territories in Yemen, one of the few women to fly combat missions over land. Wileman’s exceptional leadership was highlighted during VAQ-130’s “Dirt Det,” where she was designated the Officer in Charge. Overcoming the challenges of operating from an austere location, she successfully oversaw all detachment operations enabling the support of multiple flights in the defense of U.S. and Coalition forces in support of Operations INHERENT RESOLVE and PROSPERITY GUARDIAN.

    Always a team player, Wileman was also a respected qualified Landing Signal Officer (LSO), a vital role in the squadron to ensure her fellow Naval Aviators safely recovered aboard the ship. Despite operating in a weapons engagement zone, her calm and collected demeanor under pressure showed during combat operations. Even when recovering alerts while IKE was being targeted and the CSG was under attack by Houthi terrorists, she executed flawlessly, bringing all CVW-3 aircraft aboard expeditiously and safely. From the LSO platform, Wileman always showcased her extraordinary composure and consistent ability to perform under pressure.

    Due to her unrelenting efforts, Wileman accrued three Strike Flight Air Medals for her role in combat operations between December 17, 2023, and April 5, 2024.

    Outside the cockpit, Wileman made everyone smile. She would brighten up any room and was known for her genuine care and compassion for those around her. She always brought a sense of calm, in the good times and bad, whether it was through a joke, a game of cribbage, or a giant bear hug for a Sailor in need of one.

    The Bonds That Endure

    Evans’ and Wileman’s strong connection to their families were second to none. Evans was close with her parents, who were immensely proud of her many accomplishments and were overjoyed when welcoming her back to NAS Whidbey Island on July 13th.

    Wileman met her husband, Brandon, during flight school. Also a Naval Aviator, Brandon shared in her passion for flight, and together they supported each other through the challenges and successes of their careers. Wileman’s goal for follow-on orders after the Zappers was to remain co-located with Brandon.

    Both Evans and Wileman shared lasting loyalty and commitment to their mentors, peers, and Sailors. They always lifted others up, even during the most challenging moments of deployment, knowing exactly how to take a quick break from the “stress” of the job and deployment and getting everyone’s heads back in the game.

    They also bonded over their love of dogs: Evans, a proud “dog mom” to Nyx (an Australian Shepherd), and Wileman to Riley (a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix – “Chiweenie”). The two often flew together, sharing a deep understanding of the intricacies of Naval Aviation, and complemented each other well. They shared many moments together, from leading critical missions in combat zones during deployment to helping their Sailors and each other weather the mental strain of long deployments.

    These women’s bond with each other reached well beyond the cockpit. They were both known for their humor and light-hearted spirit. A memorable moment came at a beachside pool, where, during a liberty port in Souda Bay, Crete, Evans and Wileman shared a laugh as two male squadron mates struggled to move a heavy umbrella. “Centuries of oppression have finally paid off,” they joked, representing the camaraderie and light heartedness that defined both of them.

    A Legacy That Lives On

    The legacy that Evans and Wileman leave behind is characterized by strength, courage, and inspiration. They embodied the very best of Naval Aviation and were examples that hard work, determination, and devotion to their passions could lead to exceptional achievements. They will remain role models for both women and men, embodying the true Navy warrior spirit.

    Capt. Marvin Scott, Commander of CVW-3, said Evans and Wileman will be remembered for their tenacity, their outstanding contributions to the defense of others, and the positive energy they brought to Naval Aviation.

    “I have personally flown with both of these Great Americans in both training and dynamic combat operations, and they always performed professionally and precisely. As true leaders in the Growler community, VAQ-130, and across my Air Wing, their contributions cannot be overstated; I could not be more proud to have served with each of them,” said Scott. “Every member of the CVW-3 Battle Axe Team is heartbroken at the loss of these exceptional warriors; Dug and Miley truly represent the best that Naval Aviation has to offer, and they will absolutely be missed.”

    As the Navy mourns the loss of these two exceptional aviators, their stories will continue to inspire generations of service members. They represent the best of the Navy and Naval Aviation: warriors who were steadfast in the face of danger, always prepared to lead, and compassionate to their fellow Sailors. Their memories will endure with the men and women of the Zappers, CVW-3, and the entire IKE CSG. Their legacies will live on, immortalized in the hearts of their families, friends, and all who had the privilege to serve alongside them.

  • MIL-OSI: Turbo Energy Teams with Connection Holdings to Introduce All-in-One, AI-Optimized SUNBOX Home Energy Storage System to U.S. Market

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VALENCIA, Spain, Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Turbo Energy, S.A. (NASDAQ:TURB) (“Turbo Energy” or the “Company”), a global provider of leading-edge, AI-optimized solar energy storage technologies and solutions, today announced that the Company has partnered with Florida-based Connection Holdings, LLC (“CH”), the managing entity of brands operating in the performance marketing and lead generation sectors with focus on a broad range of industries, including the U.S. solar energy market. 

    Pursuant to the strategic advisory agreement entered into on October 18, 2024, CH will employ its organization’s award-winning market penetration capabilities and leverage its extensive nationwide network of leading U.S. solar installation companies to assist Turbo Energy in introducing and winning U.S. market share for the Company’s proprietary, all-in-one, Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-optimized SUNBOX solar energy storage system designed specifically for residential application (“SUNBOX Home”).

    Turbo Energy Partners with Connection Holdings to Introduce SUNBOX Home to U.S. Market

    Mariano Soria, the Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Energy, stated, “With virtually thousands of SUNBOX Home installations spanning nine countries throughout Europe, we have been actively engaged over the past several months in progressing through extensive U.S. testing and certification processes to affirm that SUNBOX Home meets and exceeds American public and product safety standards for energy storage systems and equipment. We are very excited to be partnering with Connection Holdings to take the next pivotal step in our global expansion plan, introducing SUNBOX Home to the U.S. market in hopes that we will achieve meaningful market awareness and rapid adoption of what we believe is the industry’s most price-competitive, smart, all-in-one solar energy storage solution on the market today.”

    “We are very proud to have been chosen by Turbo Energy to lead the market launch of SUNBOX Home in the U.S.,” noted Edmond Pain, Managing Principal and Co-Founder of CH. “Considering that SUNBOX Home features scalable energy storage capacity that is up to four times greater than other leading residential energy storage systems available in the U.S., coupled with the fact that all components – inverter, batteries and AI-optimized software — are fully integrated in an innovative, all-in-one, elegantly designed system, we expect that market demand will be strong and immediate and grow exponentially in the coming years as sustainable solar energy storage solutions become a must-have for homeowners nationwide.”

    According to the Q3 2024 industry research report released by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie, homeowners and businesses are increasingly demanding solar systems that are paired with battery storage. California’s shift in net metering policy and state incentives for solar-plus-storage in other markets have driven attachment rates up in recent quarters. The report further states that by 2028, 28% of all new distributed solar capacity will be paired with storage, compared to under 12% in 2023.

    SUNBOX Home is a complete intelligent solar energy storage system powered by Turbo Energy’s patented AI algorithms and processes that allow homeowners to fully optimize the energy efficiency of their solar power panel installations. Moreover, the cloud-based Turbo Energy mobile app gives SUNBOX Home users total control over the storage system, including determining best times of day when to use the surplus energy stored, as well as providing complete real-time visibility into battery status, energy production, actual power usage and monthly cost savings. In addition, the app provides data-driven insight into weather and electricity price forecasts, among other vital metrics.  

    Turbo Energy’s  U.S. market launch will be led by a multi-month beta test, whereby Connection Holdings will coordinate the deployment of several SUNBOX Home system installations in residences located in key, high growth markets across the nation.  Following the conclusion of the beta test and analysis of collected data and feedback from installers and homeowners, Connection Holdings is tasked with implementing a national marketing campaign designed to ramp sales of SUNBOX Home and help to define and refine, as necessary, the U.S.-based infrastructure needed to support anticipated market demand in the months and years to come.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Government Approves Enhancements to Irish SME Test

    Source: Government of Ireland – Department of Jobs Enterprise and Innovation

    The Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment, Peter Burke TD, today welcomed the Government decision to agree the revised guidelines and template for the application of the SME Test. The enhanced Test will be rigorously applied by all Government Departments to major new measures that will directly or indirectly impact small and medium sized enterprises.

    Minister Burke TD said:

    “The revised SME Test will help to ensure the ‘think small first’ principle is thoroughly applied to new measures as they are being developed. This will ensure that potential impacts on SMEs are fully considered, and mitigations are applied where appropriate.

    “Under the new guidelines, all primary and secondary legislative proposals, new policies and strategies, and all SIs (Statutory Instruments) will need to carry out an SME Test or provide an explanation why one is not necessary. It’s part of a further emphasis being placed by Government on supports for family businesses, indigenous enterprises and home-grown SMEs to reduce red tape and regulatory burden.”

    The SME Test is an impact assessment tool that has been designed to assist policymakers consider the SME perspective when making any new policies, legislation (primary or secondary), or regulatory compliance requirements.

    The objective of the SME Test is to ensure the ease of use, understanding and application of policy requirements on SMEs. The Test identifies disproportionate impacts on SMEs and encourages policymakers to propose alternative policy options or mitigating measures to minimise the impact on small businesses, and to ensure that the regulatory environment allows SMEs to operate, grow and scale-up.

    In addition to rigorously applying the new SME Test, Government has also recently committed to consult with business to identify additional areas across Departments/Agencies where the regulatory burden could be reduced.

    A cross-government network has developed the enhanced SME Test and will continue to work together on implementation. Strengthening the language used in the guidance and adding clarity as to when and where it should be applied, as well as including more detailed screening questions and emphasising the need for consultation will ensure the SME test becomes an even more useful tool for policy makers.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Learning About Landscape Architecture on the UConn Research Farm

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    At UConn, the disciplines of plant science and landscape architecture are housed in a single department.

    This arrangement provides unique opportunities for students like Brianna Collazo ‘26 (CAHNR), a landscape architecture student who spent this past summer working on the UConn Plant Science Research & Education Farm, which serves both plant science and landscape architecture projects.

    “It’s lovely,” Collazo says. “There are so many opportunities that have been opened and so many events where we get to socialize and learn from one another.”

    Collazo had explored several academic pathways while at Manchester Community College before coming to UConn. She took courses in everything from computer science to sculpture before realizing she was interested in architecture. Given this and her love of being outside, the landscape architecture program at UConn was a perfect fit.

    “When I was looking up majors similar to architecture, I found landscape architecture and I did a little bit of research and I was like ‘wow, I think I’ll really like doing this’,” Collazo says.

    Collazo says she quickly fell in love with the program at UConn.

    “I’m so excited to go to class every day,” Collazo says. “You can ask anyone, I’m usually the first one to get to studio and the last one to leave.”

    UConn’s landscape architecture program is nationally accredited and provides a close-knit educational atmosphere for around 60 students. Working closely with ten faculty, communities, and practicing landscape architects, students have the opportunity to participate in experiential learning across Connecticut.

    “Brianna is a wonderful ambassador for our program and department. She brings an infectious energy to all that she does. Her skills and thinking have grown tremendously over the past year and we can’t wait to see her work progress,” says Jill Desimini, program director for Landscape Architecture.

    During her sophomore year, Collazo decided she wanted to gain more practical experience to better prepare her for internships.

    She found an opening on the Research Farm and with encouragement from Travis Clark, the Research Farm manager, decided to apply.

    The Research Farm has been in operation for over 100 years supporting research, teaching, and extension work at CAHNR. The 153-acre facility is a short drive from UConn’s main campus in Storrs, making it uniquely accessible for students. There are over 50 research plots where faculty and graduate students conduct basic and applied scientific experiments in subjects like sustainable agriculture, turfgrass and soil science, greenhouse and nursery operations, and fruit and vegetable production.

    “The summer was really exciting,” Collazo says. “[Clark] was really happy to have me there and I felt like I was being cared for.”

    “I was excited to be able to bring Brianna on the farm this summer.  Her unique background in landscape architecture and her willingness to learn made her an asset to our team,” says Clark ’09 (CAHNR).  “This internship provided Brianna with a lot of the hands-on skills through experiential learning that will continue to be valuable to her throughout her career.”

    Over the summer, Collazo not only gained practical skills for working on a farm, but learned outside of her major about soil science, cover crops, and how to use different species for different purposes.

    “I wanted to take so much out of this experience,” Collazo says. “Every single day I would learn something.”

    Collazo also supported graduate students working on the farm over the summer and has continued assisting two: Julie-Ann Adorno, an advisee of Haiying Tao, associate professor of soil nutrition management and soil health; and Brian Garzon, an advisee of Mariana Fragomeni, assistant professor of landscape architecture.

    After this experience, Collazo decided she want to go to graduate school to continue her studies, looking at how to design agricultural sites for research.

    “Hearing about their passion and their work over the summer really got me to understand how much it takes to make a landscape, how much goes into the different systems of the outdoors, and how we need to combine all of those to create the best design to benefit us,” Collazo says.

    This work relates to CAHNR’s Strategic Vision area focused on Ensuring a Vibrant and Sustainable Agricultural Industry and Food Supply.

    From October 12 to 15, the fourth stream of the program “Voice of the Generation. Vice-Rectors and Teachers” was held in Pyatigorsk at the Mashuk Knowledge Center. Representatives of our university took part in the program: Vice-Rector for Youth Policy Marina Malyutina, Deputy Deans for Educational Work Anna Tsarenko (Faculty of Civil Engineering), Daria Kulakova (Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Urban Management), Daria Boytsova (Faculty of Architecture), and curators of academic groups Sergey Lanko and Mikhail Timokhin.

    “Voice of the Generation. Vice-Rectors and Teachers” is an educational project of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

    The goal of the program is to provide information on current trends in youth policy, methods of working with students, and to improve the skills of specialists involved in educational work at universities.

    In her welcoming speech to the participants of the program, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia Olga Petrova emphasized that one of the main tasks in educating young people and forming healthy life values in them is to involve students in active social life, starting from university.

    Advisor to the head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs Madeleine Baturina emphasized the need to form a unified system for raising children and young people by involving them in special projects of the “Youth of Russia” platform within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children”.

    The four days of the programme were very intense: they included lectures by experts in the field of educational work and youth policy, business games and immersion games with subsequent reflection, a quiz and an immersive performance.

    The program topics were:

    education and law; mentoring in education; the influence of the student’s personal position on strengthening traditional Russian values; educational environment; the teacher is the strategic capital of the state.

    Particular attention was paid to the structure and content of university educational programs, methods that allow developing not a formal document, but an effective strategy for working with young people.

    In addition to getting acquainted with the current content of youth policy and modern approaches to it, representatives of SPbGASU exchanged experiences with colleagues from other universities.

    TRESU INVESTMENT HOLDING A/S
    ANNOUNCEMENT NO. 11.2024
    22.10.2024

    TRESU Investment Holding A/S – adjustment to full year 2024 guidance

    TRESU Investment Holding A/S today announces an adjustment to full year guidance for 2024 mainly driven by a temporary market slowdown impacting both our Systems and Machine & Units segments.

    We have experienced a temporary slowdown in market activities in our System business segment mainly driven by a slowdown in Packaging and lower demands in Corrugated. We expect to return to growth at the beginning of 2025.

    In addition, we have seen postponed customers’ investment decisions in the Machines & Unit segment, expected to be taken now in the first half of 2025.

    The Customer Care business is expected to grow further and will be close to the plan level.

    Implemented operational initiatives are showing good results and have improved underlying margins.

    As a result, we are adjusting our expectations for full-year 2024 organic revenue growth to be -15 to -10% (previously: 0 to 5%) and the adjusted EBITDA margin to be 0 to 2% (previously: 4 to 6%) as an effect of lower sales.
