MIL-OSI Europe: AFRICA/DR CONGO – Angola withdraws from peace mediation in the east of the Democratic Republic

Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

Monday, 24 March 2025 wars

Kinshasa (Agenzia Fides) – Angola has ended its mediation in the war in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Angolan Presidency announced this in a communiqué today, March 24: “Angola considers it necessary to absolve itself of the responsibility of mediating in this conflict” in order to dedicate itself “more” to the general priorities of the African Union (AU), according to the statement from the Presidency, referring to the role of Angolan President Joao Lourenco as acting President of the African Union.”In the coming days, another African Head of State will be entrusted with this task,” the statement reads. In the meantime, the mediation initiated by Qatar will continue (see Fides, 20/3/2025). In a statement released today, the country’s foreign minister welcomed “the declarations by the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda of their commitment to de-escalation and reducing tensions in eastern Congo following the announcement of the M23 withdrawal from the Walikale area,” which he described as “an important step towards stability and peace in the region.”The town of Walikale, in the Congolese province of North Kivu, was captured by M23 militants on March 19 (see Fides, March 20, 2025). Despite rebel claims, local sources say the M23 is still present in the town. According to some sources, however, the M23 has stated that it delayed its withdrawal from Walikale because the Congolese army (FARDC) had not withdrawn its combat drones from the area. Control of Walikale is of strategic importance because it would enable the M23 and its supporting Rwandan units to capture Kisangani, the capital of Tshopo Province, a key trade and transit hub located at the confluence of three rivers on the road to Kinshasa, the Congolese capital.In this context, statements by the Chief of Staff of the Ugandan Army, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, published on Platform X, are also contradictory. Kainerugaba stated that his army or the M23 rebels would invade Kisangani at any time on the orders of President Yoweri Museveni. He allegedly wanted to protect the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo and emphasized that he would not allow residents of Ugandan origin from the Alur, Bahema, Banande, and Batutsi ethnic groups to suffer and that he had the right to protect them. Kainerugaba also advised US President Donald Trump not to conclude any mining agreement in East Africa without Uganda and Rwanda. He was referring to the meeting between Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and Republican US Congressman Ronny Jackson, which discussed the fighting in the east of the country and opportunities for US investment in the Congolese mining sector. In return for US support in the fight against the M23 rebels, Tshisekedi would be willing to grant US companies exclusive access to key mining and infrastructure projects in the DRC. (L.M.)

SafeCard vs RFID Wallet: Which One Truly Secures Your Digital Information?

If you’ve been debating between the SafeCard or a traditional RFID wallet, you’re not alone and asking the right question. In the digital age, protecting your credit cards, debit cards, passports, and other RFID-enabled items from unauthorized scans is more critical than ever. Both the SafeCard and RFID wallets claim to offer that protection. But in a real-world showdown, which one truly delivers better digital security? Let’s break it down.

What Is SafeCard and How Does It Work?

SafeCard is an ultra-slim, credit card-sized RFID-blocking device designed to slip effortlessly into any standard wallet or purse. Unlike bulky RFID wallets, It provides seamless digital protection without compromising your wallet’s style or function.

Advanced RFID-jamming technology shields your sensitive data from skimming devices 24/7. There is no charging or batteries—just reliable, passive protection every time you leave the house.

Its lightweight, water-resistant, and tear-proof design makes it a durable choice that withstands daily use without degrading. In contrast, many RFID wallets rely on static materials for shielding—materials that can break down over time, reducing effectiveness.

RFID Wallets: Are They Still Effective?

Traditional RFID wallets incorporate built-in layers of shielding to prevent signal transmission. While they can block RFID signals, their effectiveness may decrease with wear and tear, especially if the protective lining starts to fray.

Even more concerning, most RFID wallets have limited capacity. To protect them, you must carefully insert each card into specific slots or compartments. And if you miss one? Your data could be vulnerable.

Plus, the wide variety of RFID wallets on the market can be overwhelming—making it hard to know which brands offer protection as advertised. Not all RFID wallets are created equal.

SafeCard vs RFID Wallet: Key Differences at a Glance

Feature	SafeCard	RFID Wallet
Size	Credit card-sized, fits in any wallet	Bulky, requires full wallet replacement
Setup	No setup needed, works instantly	Cards must be stored properly in RFID-lined compartments
Power	Battery-free, no maintenance	Passive, may wear out
Protection	Universal RFID-blocking range	Protection limited to wallet slots
Durability	Tear-proof & waterproof	Subject to wear and tear
Customer Feedback	1,000+ verified 5-star reviews	Varies widely by brand

Why SafeCard Comes Out on Top

When compared to an RFID wallet, SafeCard is the clear winner. It offers always-on protection the moment it enters your purse. It works in the background to shield all RFID-enabled cards in its range without needing constant adjustments or replacements.

The Science Behind Nagano Tonic: How Traditional Ingredients Support Modern Metabolic Health

As we age, our metabolism slows down, energy levels decline, and maintaining a healthy weight becomes more difficult. Nagano Tonic, a unique blend of traditional botanical ingredients inspired by Japanese and Eastern medicine, is gaining attention for its potential to support metabolism, thermogenesis, and weight management. Nevertheless, what does the science say?

This article explores the research-backed mechanisms of Nagano Tonic’s key ingredients—from green tea and ginger to camu camu and ashwagandha—and how they contribute to metabolic health, inflammation reduction, and body composition.

Understanding the Aging-Metabolism Connection

Aging naturally reduces basal metabolic rate (BMR)—the number of calories our bodies burn at rest. Studies show that this decline in BMR is primarily due to a loss in lean muscle mass and hormonal shifts. A 1993 study by Shimokata and Kuzuya documented these changes, revealing that metabolic efficiency decreases with age, especially without proper dietary and activity adjustments.

A 1998 paper in Metabolism by Piers et al. confirmed that older adults exhibit reduced energy expenditure, even when accounting for body composition. This highlights the importance of interventions that can reignite metabolic activity—something Nagano Tonic aims to do.

Thermogenesis: Your Inner Furnace

One of the most promising approaches to boosting metabolism is through thermogenesis, the body’s process of heat production that burns calories. According to Hursel and Westerterp-Plantenga (2010), specific food-derived bioactives can stimulate thermogenesis, aiding weight control. Nagano Tonic includes several such thermogenic compounds.

Green Tea Extract: A Proven Metabolic Enhancer

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most studied ingredients for metabolism. Its active polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have significantly boosted thermogenesis and fat oxidation. According to Ohishi et al. (2021), green tea polyphenols enhance metabolism and offer potent antioxidant protection.

A 2016 clinical trial by Chen et al. found that high-dose green tea extract led to meaningful weight loss and improved lipid profiles in overweight adults. Another study (Campbell et al., 2016) demonstrated increased resting metabolic rate in women after a single dose of a green tea thermogenic supplement.

Additionally, green tea has been declared safe in regulated doses, according to Jiang Hu et al. (2018), making it an effective and reliable cornerstone of Nagano Tonic’s formula.

Ginger: Igniting Energy Expenditure

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) offers more than just flavor—it is a metabolism booster supported by multiple randomized controlled trials. A 2019 meta-analysis by Maharlouei et al. found that ginger significantly reduced body weight and waist-to-hip ratio in overweight individuals.

In rodent studies (Sayed et al., 2020), ginger water improved energy expenditure and reduced fat accumulation. Furthermore, a comprehensive 2020 review by Nguyen et al. highlighted ginger’s thermogenic, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering effects, supporting its role in holistic metabolic health.

Camu Camu: A Gut-Microbiome Ally

A lesser-known superfruit, Camu Camu (Myrciaria dubia), offers remarkable metabolic benefits by modulating the gut microbiota. Research published in Gut (Anhê et al., 2019) found that camu camu supplementation altered the composition of gut microbes to prevent obesity in mice.

Additionally, its high levels of vitamin C and polyphenols exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as Inoue et al. (2008) demonstrated, further supporting metabolic balance and immune resilience.

Bitter Melon: The Natural Insulin Sensitizer

Momordica charantia, or bitter melon, is traditionally used for blood sugar regulation—modern science backs this up. A 2013 review by Joseph and Jini reported that bitter melon improves insulin sensitivity, reduces blood glucose, and aids lipid metabolism.

Bitter melon can indirectly reduce fat accumulation and improve energy utilization by improving glucose control and inflammation, making it a brilliant addition to Nagano Tonic.

Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients for Metabolic Repair

Chronic low-grade inflammation, marked by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), is both a cause and effect of obesity. A 2020 study by Qiling Li et al. confirmed that high CRP levels contribute to adult-onset obesity through inflammatory pathways.

Nagano Tonic tackles this head-on with anti-inflammatory botanicals like cinnamon, turmeric, and ashwagandha.

Cinnamon: A Spice for Fat Regulation

Cinnamon has demonstrated the ability to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Hamidpour et al. (2015) discussed cinnamon’s impact on angiogenesis and metabolic health, while a 2020 meta-analysis by Mousavi et al. linked cinnamon supplementation with significant reductions in body weight, BMI, and fat mass.

Turmeric: Anti-Gout and Anti-Fatigue Properties

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been shown to reduce inflammation markers and oxidative stress. Kiyani et al. (2019) explored its benefits in gout and inflammation, but its antioxidant power also contributes to improved metabolic health, particularly in those dealing with obesity-linked inflammation.

Ashwagandha: Adaptogenic Stress Support

Chronic stress is another hidden trigger for weight gain. Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb, has shown promise in stress reduction and weight management. In a 2017 study, Choudhary et al. found that ashwagandha supplementation reduced cortisol levels and supported healthy body composition under chronic stress conditions.

A 2019 clinical trial published in Cureus further confirmed its anxiolytic and energy-boosting effects, which are key to maintaining a sustainable, active lifestyle as we age.

Ginseng and Eleuthero: Traditional Tonics with Modern Benefits

Korean Red Ginseng

A study by Song et al. (2014) demonstrated that Korean red ginseng alters gut microbiota in a way that positively influences obesity markers. Ginseng also lowers CRP levels, as noted in a 2019 meta-analysis by Saboori et al., further supporting its inclusion in Nagano Tonic’s anti-inflammatory arsenal.

Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian Ginseng)

This herb, known as Siberian ginseng, boosts physical endurance and metabolic efficiency. A study by Kuo et al. (2010) showed improved human endurance capacity, while further analysis by Huang et al. (2011) highlighted its anti-fatigue benefits. Hashimoto et al. (2020) found that Eleuthero modulates metabolic proteins in fat and muscle cells, supporting its role in energy regulation.

Acerola & Alfalfa: Micronutrient-Dense Enhancers

Acerola Cherry

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata) is an underutilized superfruit rich in vitamin C, polyphenols, and antioxidants. Prakash and Baskaran (2018) state that its bioactive compounds support immune function, oxidative stress reduction, and collagen synthesis, indirectly contributing to a healthier metabolism.

Alfalfa

Often overlooked, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has demonstrated blood glucose-lowering properties in animal and human studies. Amraie et al. (2015) showed that alfalfa extracts help regulate blood sugar and lipids. Raeeszadeh et al. (2021) noted its neuroprotective and antioxidant effects, which benefit aging adults with metabolic syndrome.

Mangosteen and Inulin: Gut & Glucose Optimization

Mangosteen Extract

Mangosteen is a tropical fruit with potent xanthones and shows strong insulin-sensitizing effects. A 2018 randomized trial by Watanabe et al. found that mangosteen improved insulin sensitivity and supported weight loss in obese women, likely through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

Inulin: The Fiber for Fat Loss

Inulin, a prebiotic fiber, has been shown to reduce visceral fat and improve metabolic profiles. A 2015 randomized trial by Guess et al. demonstrated that inulin supplementation led to meaningful reductions in weight and ectopic fat among prediabetic individuals. By feeding healthy gut bacteria, inulin supports improved digestion, hormone balance, and energy metabolism.

Nagano Tonic’s Synergistic Science

Nagano Tonic is more than a blend of exotic ingredients—it is a strategic, science-backed formula that targets the root causes of slow metabolism, weight gain, inflammation, and energy depletion.

Each component contributes to a comprehensive metabolic revival, from the thermogenic effects of green tea and ginger to the gut-boosting benefits of camu camu, inulin, and ginseng. Meanwhile, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic ingredients like turmeric, cinnamon, and ashwagandha protect against modern lifestyle stressors and aging-related metabolic decline.

The MIL Network –
March 25, 2025
MIL-OSI: Standard Lithium Reports Results for Six Month Fiscal Period Ended December 31, 2024
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SLI) (NYSE American:SLI), a leading near-commercial lithium company, today announced its financial and operating results for the six month fiscal period ended December 31, 2024.

“The last year has been crucial for the Company as we move ever closer to a final investment decision, construction, and subsequent production at the South West Arkansas project, and continue to expand our leasehold footprint in East Texas. Our goal as we exited 2024 was to prioritize, focus, and execute, and we continue to do just that,” said David Park, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Standard Lithium. “We closed on our $225 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, which is a testament to the caliber of our South West Arkansas project. We completed a drilling program, conducting extensive reservoir testing that demonstrated better reservoir properties than what was previously assumed in our PFS. We also successfully completed the derisking of our DLE technology through pilot field testing, producing results that exceeded expectations and providing samples that may later be used in the qualification process for offtake discussions. With FEED and DFS taking shape and nearing completion in the summer, and preliminary offtake and financing discussions underway, we continue to press on towards a final investment decision at South West Arkansas, and continue to expand our presence in East Texas, as we move towards the preparation of a maiden inferred resource report and further project definition on that asset.”

Highlights Subsequent to the Six Month Fiscal Period Ended December 31, 2024

All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
- Finalized $225 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) for the South West Arkansas Project. The grant will support construction of Phase 1 of the South West Arkansas (“SWA”) project. The SWA project is expected to be one of the world’s first commercial-scale Direct Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) facilities.
- Undertook extensive field and reservoir testing program at SWA project. Completed drilling of new well and multiple well re-entries into the Smackover Formation to conduct detailed reservoir testing and brine sampling work.
- Completed final test of field-pilot plant at SWA project. In partnership with Koch Technology Solutions, successfully operated a field-pilot plant at SWA project as final DLE derisking step prior to commercialization. Lithium recovery far exceeded design criteria, with over 99% recovery from brine sourced from the project’s International Paper Company well.
- Launch of Smackover Lithium. On January 29, 2025, at a community townhall in Stamps, AR, the Company and Equinor announced Smackover Lithium as the new name for their joint venture developing DLE projects in Southwest Arkansas and East Texas.
- Continued Strategic additions to board of directors. The Company announced on March 19, 2025 the appointment of Karen G. Narwold, as an independent member of its board of directors.
Highlights From Six Month Fiscal Period Ended December 31, 2024
- Entered into a license agreement (“Agreement”) with Koch Technology Solutions (“KTS”) to deploy and use KTS’ Li-Pro^TMLithium Selective Sorption (“Li-pro LSS”) technology. Under the license agreement, SWA Lithium, the jointly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Standard Lithium and Equinor, will utilize Li-pro LSS at the commercial processing facility for Phase 1 of the SWA project. The Agreement includes a first-of-its-kind performance guarantee from KTS for lithium recovery, contaminant rejection and water use. In addition, it allows for continued, exclusive joint development of the technology in the Smackover Formation.
- Commercial-scale DLE at the Demonstration Plant continues to exceed expectations.

MIL-OSI: Roper Technologies to acquire CentralReach

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SARASOTA, Fla., March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Roper Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROP) today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire CentralReach from Insight Partners for a net purchase price of approximately $1.65 billion, including a $200 million tax benefit resulting from the transaction. Roper expects CentralReach to deliver sustainable 20%+ organic revenue and EBITDA growth.

CentralReach is a leading provider of cloud-native software enabling the workflow and administration of Applied Behavior Analysis (“ABA”) therapy. Over 200,000 professionals utilize CentralReach’s purpose-built solutions to help provide care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) and related intellectual and developmental disabilities (“IDD”). ABA therapy providers rely on CentralReach’s comprehensive electronic medical records platform as their mission critical operating system, which includes highly specialized tools for client set-up, practice management, claims processing, care scheduling, clinical data collection, and service delivery, along with several AI-powered add-on modules.

“CentralReach is a fantastic business with clear niche market leadership, mission critical and high ROI solutions, a high recurring revenue mix, and outstanding customer retention, which leads to strong organic revenue growth and excellent cash conversion,” said Neil Hunn, Roper’s President and CEO. “This acquisition is another example of Roper identifying a business that provides greater value creation for our shareholders. CentralReach meets each of our long-standing acquisition criteria, while also having a structurally faster organic growth profile and the ability to expand margins under Roper’s long-term ownership. We are excited to welcome the CentralReach team to the Roper family and look forward to partnering with the team to execute their strategy.”

Acquisition financial outlook and financing

CentralReach is expected to contribute approximately $175 million of revenue and $75 million of EBITDA for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026, and will be reported in Roper’s Application Software segment. Roper expects CentralReach to deliver sustainable 20%+ organic revenue and EBITDA growth.

The transaction is expected to close in April/May 2025, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, and will be funded using Roper’s revolving credit facility. Additional information about CentralReach is available in the Investors section of Roper’s website (www.ropertech.com).

Use of non-GAAP financial information

Roper supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with certain non-GAAP financial information, including EBITDA, to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Roper defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Roper has not provided a reconciliation of the expected EBITDA contribution by CentralReach to the expected net income contribution by CentralReach for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026 because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in CentralReach’s contribution to net income without unreasonable efforts. In addition, Roper believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The non-GAAP financial measure disclosed by Roper in this press release should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: A greater Oxford unitary council to improve services and bring them closer to local people
Source: City of Oxford

A greater Oxford unitary council covering the city and surrounding area leading to better services, enabling local decision-making on transport and saving taxpayers up to £27m a year is proposed.
The Government asked councils across England for interim proposals on simplifying the structure of local government in their areas.

Oxfordshire’s six councils submitted joint proposals to the Government on Friday 21 March.

The proposals would see Oxfordshire’s six councils abolished and replaced with three, two or one unitary councils.

Oxford City Council’s Cabinet decided on 19 March its preferred option would be to create three unitary councils covering Oxfordshire and West Berkshire:

A Greater Oxford Council – comprising Oxford on expanded boundaries

A Northern Oxfordshire Council – comprising much of the existing West Oxfordshire and Cherwell districts

Ridgeway Council – comprising much of the existing South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse districts combined with existing West Berkshire unitary

The proposals would give local residents control over key services, including transport and education, for the first time in 50 years. These services have been managed at the countywide level since 1974 – when local government in Oxford was last reorganised.

A greater Oxford council the proposals could also help solve the housing crisis, accelerating the delivery of genuinely affordable homes and secure, well-paid jobs for residents in Oxford and the surrounding area.

A greater Oxford

Oxford City Council’s current administrative boundaries are drawn tightly around the city’s existing housing estates and business parks. The conurbation continues to expand, and the city exerts a gravitational influence on surrounding areas which make use of both the work and leisure facilities it offers. But there is little available space to meet the significant demand for new housing, office space, laboratories, leisure facilities and more.

A greater Oxford council would enable the creation of an additional 43,000-67,000 new homes by 2040 – 40% of which (17,200-26,800 homes) under our current local planning policies would be council homes.

There are sites outside the city in South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse, Cherwell and West Oxfordshire already allocated to provide additional housing to meet Oxford’s need. A unitary based on the city with expanded boundaries could take charge of some of these sites, ensure that land is used efficiently, increasing density where appropriate to produce well-planned new communities. It would also release Grey Belt land as the Government has directed. It is anticipated that city-adjacent housing sites would be built to higher density low-rise development – which would help reduce pressure on additional housing around existing villages.

Oxford has one of the UK’s most successful local economies:

A net contributor to the Exchequer – generating £7.6bn annually

Ranked the top performing city in the UK by PwC in 2023 and 2024

Fifth in the UK for attracting overseas investment

Yet much more economic growth could be unlocked as there is huge unmet demand for lab, innovation and office space in Oxford. There will be further opportunities for local and regional supply chain businesses, high demand for construction and retrofit skills, and new demand within key sectors such as hospitality and leisure to support an expanded workforce and pace of business.

We want to ensure that as Oxford’s economy expands and grows, that local people gain from that growth and don’t lose out. They need to get job and training opportunities at all levels.

Oxford City Council is currently working through different boundary options, taking into account local geography, economic and transport links, and the Green Belt and will be engaging with stakeholders, residents, and businesses in the city and neighbouring areas.

Service transformation and efficiencies

The creation of a greater Oxford council would enable us to join up and improve services that are currently split between Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council, including council housing and social care, and planning and transport.

A new central Oxfordshire unitary council would reflect local identities, bringing the design and delivery of these services much closer to local residents than the current countywide decision-making on services such as transport. Improving bus services into the city from neighbouring villages would be a priority for the new council.

A greater focus on prevention and ensuring access to good jobs would be central to tackling the inequalities that drive pressure on the social care system. Partnerships are key – a greater Oxford council would work with institutions, businesses and grassroots organisations to prioritise action on inequalities, like health issues, supporting young people, ensuring community safety.

Pixel Financial, a local government finance consultancy, has estimated annual savings of between £18m and £27m are achievable across Oxfordshire and West Berkshire by reducing council expenditure through the creation of the three unitary councils.

A greater Oxford unitary would be financially robust, inheriting the “Oxford Model” with significant assets and wholly owned companies that deliver services for the council and private clients and generate income.

Devolution

Alongside local government reorganisation, the government also wants to create new directly elected mayors across all regions of England.

The government plans to devolve powers and money to the mayors, who would lead Mayoral Strategic Authorities to coordinate housing, transport and economic growth across the region.

A greater Oxford council on expanded boundaries would give the city a powerful voice at the Mayoral Strategic Authority.

Three unitaries for Oxfordshire would also give the county three seats on the Mayoral Board – to balance Berkshire having up to six seats, including Reading and Slough.

Initial surveys

In February, Oxford City Council carried out a survey on the interim proposals using its Residents’ Panel. The panel is a representative sample of Oxford residents managed on the Council’s behalf by independent polling company Beehive.

The survey, which had 266 responses, found:

82% think the current two-tier local government arrangements could be improved; 7% disagreed

67% think councils should not be too large, so they better meet the needs of local residents; 11% disagreed

61% think a single council covering the greater Oxford area would best meet the needs of residents; 17% disagreed

37% think a single council covering the whole of Oxfordshire would best meet the needs of residents; 40% disagreed

The Council has also been engaging with stakeholders about the proposals, including Oxford businesses, universities, civic organisations, parish councils and MPs.

Comment

“Many of the issues facing Oxford today can be traced back to the last time local government was reorganised in 1974, when the city’s boundaries were so tightly drawn around existing housing and business areas that the city couldn’t grow.

“This historic mistake caused Oxford’s housing crisis and forced many people to live further and further away from their jobs in the city, which has seen Oxfordshire’s roads gridlocked.

“The conurbation continues to expand, and the city exerts a gravitational influence on surrounding areas which make use of both the work and leisure facilities it offers. Redefined boundaries will crystallise this into direct and mutual responsibility.

“We would not simply be asking communities to join the city, we will ourselves be joining well- established communities. We will need to draw on the wider identity that exists within areas beyond the city to help them become part of a cohesive whole.

“A single council covering Oxford and the surrounding area will see services better designed to meet local people’s distinct needs, as well as delivering service improvements and cost savings.”

Councillor Susan Brown, Leader of Oxford City Council

NAIROBI, Kenya – 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the enduring partnership between the Massachusetts Army National Guard (MANG) and the Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF) under the auspices of the State Partnership Program (SPP). Established in 2015, this collaboration exemplifies the power of sustained military-to-military engagement in fostering global security, stability and combined warfighting capacity.

The SPP, overseen by the National Guard Bureau, strategically pairs American states with partner nations worldwide, facilitating a tailored approach to capacity building and strengthened lethality. For Massachusetts and Kenya, this has translated into a dynamic exchange of knowledge, skills and experience across a diverse range of military and civilian domains. These include, but are not limited to, cybersecurity, aviation, disaster response, medical readiness and counterterrorism strategies.

Kenya Defence Force (KDF) medics joined the medics with 8th Medical Brigade and 1st Battalion 182nd Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts National Guard, to conduct a casualty evacuation rehearsal during exercise Justified Accord 2025 (JA25) at the Counter Insurgency Terrorism and Stability Operations Center in Nanyuki, Kenya, Feb. 12, 2025.

“Anytime you can create relationships with other countries, you are making integration easier when you need to deploy together,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Eamon Beach, a squad leader assigned to Bravo Company, 1st. Battalion, 182nd Infantry Regiment (Americal), MANG.

This was Beach’s first time in Kenya, taking part in Justified Accord 2025 (JA25).

The cornerstone of this partnership lies in its collaborative training exercises, often conducted within the framework of larger multinational initiatives like JA25, a U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM)-directed, U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF)-managed exercise.

These exercises provide invaluable opportunities for both MANG and KDF Soldiers to enhance interoperability, refine tactical skills and build camaraderie in simulated scenarios.

Beach also noted that training side-by-side in Kenya allowed both MANG and KDF Soldiers to learn several similarities in the way they train on specific tasks. From urban operations training and room clearance procedures, tactics were shared and honed together throughout the exercise.

Along with JA25, the SPP fosters enduring personal relationships between Soldiers, transcending cultural differences, building mutual understanding and trust. These personal connections prove critical to facilitating seamless communication and cooperation, highlighting the adaptability and agility of both forces.

The impact of the Massachusetts-Kenya partnership extends beyond the military sphere. Collaborative efforts in disaster preparedness and response have been particularly noteworthy. In previous exchanges, MANG provided much-needed assistance to Kenya in the wake of natural disasters, leveraging its experience and resources to support relief efforts and strengthen resilience.

As the Massachusetts-Kenya partnership celebrates its 10th anniversary, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of collaboration and shared commitment to a safer and more secure world. The conclusion of the exercise highlighted this fact.

JA25’s culminating event saw combined forces working together to defeat a violent extremist organization (VEO) which had taken over a simulated village. The multinational contingent put their newly refined urban tactics and lethality on full display.

“The Massachusetts-Kenya partnership builds capacity, strengthens the alliance, supports regional stability and exercises our expeditionary capabilities,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. David Dicrescenzo, commander of Task Force Minuteman and senior responsible officer for MANG forces in Kenya at JA25. “That’s the significance of this exercise and partnership.”

As the global security landscape continues to evolve, multinational partnerships will likely become even more important. The enduring bond between the MANG and KDF, forged over a decade of collaboration and shared experiences, serves as an example of what partnership can mean for shared lethality, strength and stability.

MIL-OSI Africa: Minister reflects on department’s achievements, challenges in first three months

Minister reflects on department’s achievements, challenges in first three months

Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane has commended the department’s team for the work done to realise one of the principles of the Freedom Charter of providing houses, security and comfort.

This comes as the Minister reflects on the progress made in the three months since her appointment, acknowledging both the achievements and the challenges that lie ahead.

Progress and achievements

In a statement on Monday, Simelane said several key strides hace been made by the department, including responding to emergencies such as floods and fires in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.

She highlighted visits to various human settlements projects and a significant meeting held with provincial Members of the Executive Council (MECs) to discuss the five-year Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP), and review progress on the implementation of the 2024/2025 priorities and proposed policy changes, among others.

In collaboration with the Department of Social Development, the Ministry has developed the Special Housing Needs Programme Grant designed to support the implementation of the Special Housing Needs Programme (SHNP).

“This programme seeks to provide amenities required in human settlements to help those who cannot independently live by themselves. This includes persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence and the elderly,” the Minister explained.

Additionally, the department has worked to ensure stability within its entities by appointing and inducting new board members to serve in five of the six department’s entities.

A White Paper on Human Settlements was also approved in December 2024, focusing on developing a policy and legislative framework for Integrated and Sustainable Human Settlements.

The framework aims to provide housing, safety, and comfort for all, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable groups, the poor, and the “missing middle” of society.

Addressing challenges

Simelane said the period has enabled her to fully understand the challenges faced by the sector. These include budget cuts, poor contract management leading to project abandonment, allegations of fraud and corruption, a trust deficit between the department and its stakeholders, distressed social housing projects, and finding permanent solutions to the country’s informal settlements.

“These challenges inform us that there is no silver bullet to resolve our challenges. Government alone cannot provide solutions. Partnership with the private sector, the public, and NGOs [non-governmental organisations] will bring us closer to a permanent solution to our country’s housing challenges,” Simelane said.

The Minister addressed the issue of tenants deliberately boycotting rental agreements in social housing projects. She stressed that social housing is rental accommodation, and that tenants are legally obliged to pay rent.

“Failure to do so will lead to eviction. Do not blame government. Do the honourable thing, pay rent, and enjoy decent and affordable accommodation closer to economic activities and social amenities,” the Minister said.

Post Investment Support Programme

To foster mutually beneficial partnerships with the private sector, contractors and developers, and address issues that have cost the government millions of rands, the Minister announced that the department will launch the Emerging Developer Incubator and Post Investment Support Programme.

The programme, through the National Housing Finance Corporation (NHFC), will be launched on 28 March 2025.

This initiative aims to provide non-financial support to emerging developers, particularly those who have been historically disadvantaged. The programme will assist them in packaging funding proposals, managing construction phases and post-investments, and marketing completed units after construction.

“Empowered contractors are a vehicle to our success. If contractors and developers were to deliver quality human settlement projects on time and within budget, nothing would stand in our way of achieving our goals,” Simelane said.

She further outlined some of the department’s immediate priorities, including completing stalled or blocked projects, addressing the backlog of military veterans’ housing, and prioritising housing for vulnerable groups and the destitute.

Investigation into George building collapse

Meanwhile, the Minister said she has received the preliminary report of the National Home Builders Regulatory Council (NHBRC) has into the building that collapsed in George, Western Cape, in 2024.

The final report is expected to be completed shortly.

Simelane will in the coming months unpack departmental priorities, in line with the 2024-2025 MTDP, and explain how the priorities will contribute to government’s three key goals: driving inclusive growth and job creation, reducing poverty and tackling the high cost of living, and building a capable, ethical, and developmental State. – SAnews.gov.za

MIL-OSI Africa: The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) Signs EUR 40 Million Trade Finance Agreement to Strengthen Comoros’ Energy Security

Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, March 24, 2025/APO Group/ —

The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) (www.ITFC-IDB.org), the trade finance arm of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group, signed a EUR 40 million trade finance agreement with the Union of Comoros to support the country’s energy sector. In line with the US$330 million three-year Framework Agreement signed in September 2024, this facility will enable Société Comorienne d’Hydrocarbures (SCH), as the executing agency, to import refined petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ensuring a steady and reliable energy supply for businesses and households.

This financing is a crucial step in maintaining energy security, economic resilience, and social stability in the country by providing up to 100 percent of the country’s estimated 100,000 cubic meters of annual petroleum imports requirement.

The agreement was signed by H.E. Ibrahim Mohamed Abdourazak, Minister of Finance, Budget, and Banking Sector of the Union of Comoros, and Abdihamid Abu, General Manager, Trade Finance, ITFC.

Commenting on the signing, Abdihamid Abu, stated: “This financing reaffirms ITFC’s long-standing commitment to Comoros. By ensuring a stable energy supply, we are not only safeguarding essential services and industries but also driving broader economic growth, fostering resilience, and supporting the nation’s long-term development agenda.”

Since 2008, ITFC has extended a total of US$657 million in financing to the Union of Comoros, with SCH serving as the executing agency in 26 trade finance operations. This latest agreement builds on that strong track record, further reinforcing ITFC’s strategic partnership with Comoros while supporting energy security (SDG 7), industrial growth (SDG 9), and economic stability (SDG 8).

As part of its broader mission, ITFC remains dedicated to enhancing trade finance accessibility and strengthening economic resilience, in its member countries. By securing critical imports such as petroleum products, ITFC ensures that Comoros can sustain its economic momentum, protect jobs, and enhance the quality of life for its citizens.

MIL-OSI: Sunrun and PG&E Harness Home Storage and Solar to Alleviate Local Grid Constraints

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the nation’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, today announced a new innovative partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The collaboration will utilize hundreds of Sunrun solar-plus-storage customer homes to deliver targeted load relief to neighborhoods identified with highly constrained electric grids. The goal of this approach is to help avoid or defer growth-related distribution investments, reducing costs for ratepayers.

The Sunrun-operated program will be activated for up to 100 hours from June through October and include approximately 600 Sunrun customers residing in sections of PG&E’s service area that are experiencing distribution circuit constraints.

“Customers with home batteries are a solution to alleviating strain on our electric grid,” said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. “We’re experiencing a fundamental shift as homes are no longer just energy consumers. With storage and solar, they become powerful grid assets, delivering affordable, reliable power exactly when and where it’s needed for communities and across the grid.”

Sunrun’s Local PeakShift Power program is part of PG&E’s 2025 Seasonal Aggregation of Versatile Energy (SAVE) virtual power plant. In this demonstration, Sunrun will receive information from PG&E on distribution grid needs and, in turn, help PG&E analyze the contributions of distributed energy resources. This collaboration will support the development of new long-term programs to meet the California Energy Commission’s load-shifting goals while also enhancing local reliability.

“Virtual power plants play a significant role in California’s clean energy future and we’re proud of our customers who are leading the charge with their clean energy adoption. Every day, we’re looking at new and better ways to deliver for our hometowns while ensuring safety, reliability and resiliency for our customers,” said Patti Poppe, CEO of PG&E Corporation.

The delivery of targeted power to local PG&E circuits will leverage Sunrun’s deep existing partnerships with leading companies Tesla and Lunar Energy. Sunrun will use an advanced application of Tesla’s grid services platform to optimize Powerwall batteries to provide an exact amount of power at specific times to different locations. Similarly, Sunrun will leverage Lunar Energy’s AI-enabled forecasting through its Gridshare software platform to precisely dispatch various non-Tesla battery types to meet local grid needs.

This collaboration marks the second time Sunrun and PG&E have partnered to create a virtual power plant to support California’s power grid. Both partnerships highlight Sunrun’s ability to design and rapidly deploy virtual power plants that meet the specific needs of grid operators. Local PeakShift Power will be operationalized in just months, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of Sunrun’s virtual power plant capabilities.

Sunrun customers enrolled in Local PeakShift Power will receive a one-time payment of $150 per battery for sharing their stored solar energy with their communities, while Sunrun will be compensated for managing battery dispatches. Enrolled batteries will always retain at least a 20% backup reserve to ensure power availability at customers’ homes in the event of a power outage.

With 156,000 residential battery systems across the country, Sunrun can support targeted utility initiatives and statewide virtual power plant programs. Sunrun’s grid services platform and subscription model allow for flexibility when it comes to enrolling customers in different programs in order to achieve the highest value for the company, its customers, and the grid.

About Sunrun
Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq: RUN) revolutionized the solar industry in 2007 by removing financial barriers and democratizing access to locally-generated, renewable energy. Today, Sunrun is the nation’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service, offering residential solar and storage with no upfront costs. Sunrun’s innovative products and solutions can connect homes to the cleanest energy on earth, providing them with energy security, predictability, and peace of mind. Sunrun also manages energy services that benefit communities, utilities, and the electric grid while enhancing customer value. Discover more at www.sunrun.com.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Over 100 creatives supported by Growth Programme in Winchester

Source: City of Winchester

Evolve, in partnership with Winchester City Council, has successfully completed the delivery of its Creative Industries Growth Programme.

Fully funded by Winchester City Council via the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the series of free masterclasses, covering subjects such as business planning, Intellectual Property Law and branding and marketing, were held between January and early March.

The programme, which was curated based on the feedback provided by local creatives, was designed to support small businesses and freelancers within the sector to take their business to the next level. Over the course of nine sessions, over 100 creatives from different businesses across the district attended.

“The workshop was brilliant … it has made me feel more confident in my business skills by connecting with others in the field. I am more likely to ask for help now that I know so many have similar issues.” Helen Northcott – Artist and Educator

Rebecca Phillips, Programme Manager at Evolve, said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Winchester City Council to deliver this programme. I’ve met so many inspiring creatives working in Winchester and experienced the amazing sense of community, and watched it grow. Bringing practical business support and new connections has resulted in clear increase in motivation levels and productivity for participants.”

Thanks to additional funding from University of Winchester, a peer group of creatives are now benefitting from focused and relevant learning as they continue to meet.

The University of Winchester has also agreed to fund a further series of workshops- ‘The Innovating Together: SME Business Success Programme’, which will be delivered in partnership with Evolve and will be launching soon.

“The creative growth course has been instrumental in turning my blurry dream into an actual strategy. Rebecca is an incredible professional, with endless reserves of knowledge, and I can’t thank her enough for the help she gave me. The highlights of the course, for me, were the business plan workshop and the 121 with Rebecca. I feel lucky to have been able to access the programme for free, and my deepest gratitude goes to both Winchester City Council and to Evolve for the splendid work they’ve done.” Francesco Sarti – Writer and Speaker

Jo Stark, Head of Innovation at the University of Winchester said: “We believe that as a civic university we should be supporting local businesses to thrive and recognise the particular strengths and challenges faced by the creative industries as typically micro-businesses and freelancers. The support provided by Evolve has proved invaluable and we wanted to be able to offer this to a broader range of small businesses.”

Throughout the programme, themes of sustainability and the circular economy (extending product life through repairing, sharing, reuse and recycling) were also woven in, encouraging businesses and individuals to think about the life cycle and environmental impact of their products and services and how they might make small changes to support sustainable action.

Councillor Lucille Thompson, Cabinet Member for Business and Culture, Winchester City Council, said: “The Winchester District Cultural Strategy identified our creative industries as a priority area for development, and we are pleased that the creative growth programme has proved to be popular and supported so many creatives. We are also thrilled that the university of Winchester are funding an extension and spin-off of the programme, offering further support to small businesses in our district. This is a great example of partnership working which is at the heart of our new strategy.”

MIL-OSI USA: Coalition Sues Trump Administration For Dismantling Department of Education, Hurting All Students

Source: US National Education Union

Washington, D.C. — Advocacy organizations representing millions of educators, civil rights champions, school employees, students, and families will file a lawsuit Monday to stop the Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to dismantle the United States Department of Education. The plaintiffs include the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), public school parents, The National Education Association (NEA), and AFSCME Maryland Council 3, and they are supported by Student Defense and Education Law Center (ELC).

Since taking office, Trump Administration officials have taken an escalating series of steps to dismantle the Department, including a series of staff reductions and the termination of $1.5 billion in current contracts and grants for Congressionally-authorized programs and activities. On March 11, the Secretary instituted a Department-wide reduction in force, which, when combined with prior staff reductions, slashes the already lean Department workforce in half.

Most recently, on March 20, 2024, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order formally instructing Secretary Linda McMahon to pursue “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education authority to the States.” The very next day, President Trump indicated that the administration would move the higher education student loan portfolio to the Small Business Administration and disability-related programs to the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Taken together, Defendants’ steps since January 20, 2025, constitute a de facto dismantling of the Department by executive fiat…,” the complaint argues. “But the Constitution gives power over ‘the establishment of offices [and] the determination of their functions and jurisdiction’ to Congress—not to the President or any officer working under him.” Because it is a Congressionally-created federal agency, legally eliminating the Department of Education, or its constituent offices, or transferring them to other federal agencies, requires Congressional approval.

While state and local governments are responsible for the vast majority of America’s public education system, Congress created the Department to help bridge longstanding gaps in educational opportunity and provide critical funding and supports to students. The Department fulfills that role by enforcing civil rights laws, supporting students with disabilities, promoting equal educational opportunities, bolstering the educator workforce, and administering the Federal Student Aid programs that place college within reach of working Americans.

Eliminating or effectively shuttering the Department puts at risk the millions of vulnerable students, including those from low-income families, English learners, homeless students, rural students, and others who depend on Department support. It also jeopardizes more than 400,000 educator jobs; makes it impossible for the Department to ensure that federal education funding actually is spent as Congress intended; threatens support for 7.5 million students with disabilities; and leaves millions of students vulnerable to discrimination. It could also reduce access to Pell Grants, upend repayments for student loan borrowers, and invite fraudulent and predatory behavior from unscrupulous institutions of higher education.

The lawsuit alleges that actions to dismantle the Department exceed the constitutional authority of the executive branch and violate the federal Administrative Procedure Act. It asks the court to immediately halt the government’s attempt to dismantle the Department.

“As a parent of a child with disabilities who has an Individual Education Program (IEP), I am deeply troubled by the severe cuts the Trump Administration has made to the Department of Education,” said Mara Greengrass, a Maryland mother who is a plaintiff in the litigation. “Funding for special education and the Department’s oversight have been crucial in ensuring my son receives the quality education he—and every child in this country—deserves.”

“Nothing is more important than the success of students. America’s educators and parents won’t be silent as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Linda McMahon try to steal opportunities from our students, our families, and our communities to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Gutting the Department of Education will hurt all students by sending class sizes soaring, cutting job training programs, making higher education more out of reach, taking away special education services for students with disabilities, and gutting student civil rights protections. Parents, educators, and community leaders know this will widen the gaps in education, which is why we will do everything in our power to protect our students and their futures,” said National Education Association President Becky Pringle.

“Education is power. By firing half of the workforce at the Department of Education, Trump is not only seeking to dismantle an agency — he is deliberately destroying the pathway many Americans have to a better life,” said Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP. “The forceful elimination of thousands of essential workers will harm the most vulnerable in our communities. The NAACP and our partners are equipped with the necessary legal measures to prevent this unlawful attack on our children’s future.”

“Congress created the Department of Education, and Congress controls its future — not billionaires Marylanders never voted for,” said AFSCME Council 3 President Patrick Moran. “This illegal move to bypass our elected representatives would be devastating to our state’s public schools. Department of Education funding supports AFSCME Council 3 members in their essential work every day. It helps bus drivers get students in rural areas to school on time, ensures cafeteria workers can deliver consistent meals to students in low-income areas, keeps custodial workers on staff to ensure public schools are safe environments, supports disability and English as a second language school services, and more. Without this funding, we lose essential school workers — and our most vulnerable students will pay the price.”

“The Trump Administration’s effort to dismantle the Department of Education is not only illegal; it inflicts great harm on students, schools, and communities across the country,” said Robert Kim, Education Law Center Executive Director. “The Administration’s assertion that critical federal funding and support for schools and students will somehow continue as normal even after shuttering the Department reveals a dangerous lack of understanding of the Department’s role to provide funding for and implement programs for our most underserved student populations, ensure equal access and opportunity, and enforce civil rights in our nation’s schools. We cannot afford to let the Trump Administration throw our public schools into chaos.”

“Donald Trump’s own Secretary of Education has acknowledged they can’t legally shut down the Department of Education without Congress,” said Student Defense President Aaron Ament. “Yet that is, for all intents and purposes, exactly what they are doing. It’s a brazen violation of the law that will upend the lives of countless students and families.”

MIL-OSI USA: 10 Questions With Women’s Sports Expert Risa Isard

Source: US State of Connecticut

In our recurring 10 Questions series, the Neag School of Education catches up with students, alumni, faculty, and others throughout the year to offer a glimpse into their Neag School experience and their current career, research, or community activities.

Assistant professor Risa Isard is a trailblazer in the sport industry, dedicating her career to advancing equity in women’s sports. A researcher and consultant, she explores how stigma shapes the experiences of athletes, executives, and organizations. Her work sheds light on the economic, historical, and sociocultural forces that impact women’s sports, advocating for marginalized communities, including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people of color.

Isard’s expertise is widely recognized — her insights have been featured by the SXSW festival, MSNBC, the New York Times, ESPN, and more. As a thought leader, she has published in Sports Business Journal, Quartz, and espnW, influencing industry policies and sparking change. Beyond research, Isard is the founder of RISport, consulting for sport organizations on issues that matter to them most. Previously, she played a pivotal role at the Aspen Institute’s Sports & Society Program, where she launched national initiatives, hosted leaders such as Michelle Obama and Billie Jean King, and created tools to expand access to sports. She has also held sport industry roles with Duke women’s basketball, the Phoenix Mercury, soccer legend Brandi Chastain’s foundation, national nonprofit KABOOM!, and the Fresno Grizzlies minor league baseball team.

With a Ph.D. in Management from UMass Amherst and a specialized bachelor’s degree from Duke, Isard and her journey are a testament to the power of sports as a vehicle for social change.

Q: Can you share examples from your research on how stigma influences the experience of stakeholders in women’s sports?

A: Despite progress, stigma continues to impact professionals and fans in women’s sports. Employees in women’s sport face condescending remarks, such as being asked if they plan to work for a men’s team next year, suggesting that a role with the women’s team is not an achievement. Fans struggle to access games on TV or convince bars to air matches. These experiences stem from stigmas that affect investment, visibility, and respect, reinforcing the idea that women’s sports are less valuable. Yet, the passion of athletes, employees, and fans remains strong, fueling the fight for recognition and equality.

Q: What are some effective strategies for advancing equity in sports organizations?

A: My study on WNBA media coverage revealed that Black athletes, who comprised 80% of the league’s athletes and won 80% of postseason awards, received only half the media coverage of their white teammates. This research led to industry-wide discussions and tangible changes in organizations’ practices, resulting in more coverage for women athletes and Black athletes in women’s sports. By tracking disparities and committing to coverage that reflects the talent on the court, organizations can create systemic change. Intentional strategies like these help level the playing field for all athletes in women’s sports.

Q: How does intersectional diversity shape decision-making and culture within sports organizations?

A: That same study from above shows that Black WNBA athletes with a more masculine gender presentation receive the least media coverage, while white athletes with similar gender expressions receive the most. This highlights the need for an intersectional approach to understand practices in the sport industry. Media visibility translates into financial opportunities — endorsement deals depend in part on coverage, making representation crucial for an athlete’s career. Addressing these disparities can help advance social change, like closing the wealth gap.

By tracking disparities and committing to coverage that reflects the talent on the court, organizations can create systemic change. &#8212 Risa Isard, assistant professor

Q: What enduring stigmas persist in women’s sports and how can the industry address them?

A: Women’s sports still battle misconceptions about their value and the athleticism they showcase, which impact player salaries, sponsorships, media coverage, and more. Changing this requires treating women’s sports with the same respect as men’s, which means investing in their growth and recognizing their commercial successes. Supporting women athletes isn’t just about fairness — it’s also a smart business move that drives profitability and advances the industry.

Q: How should marketing and management strategies differ when promoting women’s sports, as compared to men’s sports?

A: Women’s sports fans engage differently than men’s sports fans. For example, they tend to be more loyal and supportive of sponsors. They also are far more likely to consume their sports alone. This means marketing approaches should reflect fans’ unique behaviors rather than mimicking men’s sports strategies. Additionally, women’s teams face distinct challenges shaped by historical and societal factors, which can affect employees. Understanding these differences and responding to them are the keys to effective growth and investment in women’s sports.

Q: How do you balance academic research with actionable insights for the sports industry?

A: My research is shaped by real-world industry experiences and conversations, ensuring it addresses pressing issues. Once complete, I prioritize making my findings accessible — through op-eds in trade journals and via social media — so that decision-makers can apply research-driven insights. I am also proud to be a member of The Collective Think Tank, an initiative by global sport and entertainment agency Wasserman. This bridge between academia and industry helps sports professionals implement meaningful change.

Supporting women athletes isn’t just about fairness — it’s also a smart business move that drives profitability and advances the industry. &#8212 Risa Isard, assistant professor

Q: Why do you think your research is important to the sports industry?

A: My work aims to encourage the industry to grow in profitability through equity-driven business practices. Women’s sports have long been undervalued, but with research-backed strategies, we can create a future where fairness and commercial success go hand in hand. I hope my contributions help elevate women’s sports and build on the legacy of those fighting for progress.

Q: Why did you decide to join UConn’s Neag School of Education?

A: UConn has been a leader in supporting women’s sports, creating an environment where gender equity is normalized. This unique culture provides an ideal setting to study and influence the future of women’s sports while engaging with students who will shape the industry.

Q: How can UConn positively impact the future of women’s sports?

A: UConn’s early investment in women’s sports offers a model for other programs. By sharing successful strategies with the NCAA and beyond, UConn can help shape best practices for growing and sustaining women’s sports at all levels.

Q: What trends in women’s sports do you find most promising and how can stakeholders build upon them?

A: Women’s sports are expanding rapidly — leagues like the NWSL and WNBA are growing, while new leagues in hockey, volleyball, and softball emerge. Increased media coverage, investment, and purpose-built stadiums contribute to this momentum. With continued financial backing and visibility, women’s sports can reach new heights, solidifying their place in the broader sports industry.

Dints International wins contract to supply Angolan infrastructure and renewable energy operations

Contract made possible in part thanks to UK government guarantee

Boosting exports plays a vital role in growing the economy, a key part of the Plan for Change

A partnership with UK Export Finance (UKEF) has enabled British firm Dints to secure a £12.5 million contract as supplier to MCA’s infrastructure and renewable energy operations in Angola.

Established 18 years ago, Dints is a London-based project integrator bringing together buyers, suppliers, logistics providers and funding partners.

A loan guarantee issued by UKEF to Apple Bank means that the Portuguese contractor operating in Angola, MCA, can now access finance to purchase more than £12.5 million in equipment through Dints. This will create opportunities for UK manufacturers to supply goods and services to the project.

Dints will provide vehicles, plant and machinery to support infrastructure and renewable energy projects in Angola. UKEF’s support helps companies like Dints to grow the economy, delivering on the Plan for Change. 

Recent partnerships with Dints have helped to generate over £21 million in UK exports to markets including Peru, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Botswana. These projects support jobs across the UK supply chain, as Dints’ suppliers come from regions including Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Humber, Staffordshire, County Armagh, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire.

Gareth Thomas, Minister for Exports, said:

This deal opens a wealth of opportunities for UK businesses, helping to increase exports, boost jobs and grow the economy.

As part of our Plan for Change, we are firmly backing businesses to export around the world and reach new markets, and this deal is a shining example of just that.

Geoffrey de Mowbray, Dints’ CEO, said:

It has been a pleasure to work with MCA on this transaction. By bringing together UK and international suppliers with the support of UKEF, AF Capital and Apple Bank, suppliers are paid as if selling to their domestic markets while unlocking global opportunities. This approach makes UK exports more accessible as well as facilitating critical infrastructure and renewable energy projects and demonstrates the value of a coordinated, transparent export model in driving sustainable development.

Tim Reid, CEO of UK Export Finance, said:

By providing a loan guarantee to Dints’ overseas client, we’re not only securing a substantial export opportunity for British suppliers but also helping to transform lives in Angola through improved access to critical infrastructure and renewable electricity. This is exactly the kind of win-win outcome we strive to achieve at UK Export Finance.

Manuel Couto Alves, Founder & Chairman of MCA, said:

At MCA, we recognise the critical role that strategic partnerships play in driving meaningful and sustainable change. As we continue to expand our infrastructure operations and deliver world-class projects in Angola, it is clear that collaboration with financial institutions such as UK Export Finance and trusted suppliers like Dints is essential in achieving the ambitious goals of sustainable development.

Stephen Peal, Group MP of Yorpower, a supplier on the project, said:

This has been an exciting opportunity for YorPower from the start. It is an honour to be supporting the energy transition in Angola, which is a new territory for us. Working along Dints has proven to be an outstanding route to new territories and opportunities across the world. We are able to grow and develop our brand without the complication export would normally present, by dealing locally in the UK with the experts at Dints.

Charlie Style, Business Development Manager at King Trailers, a supplier on the project, said:

King Trailers is proud to support Dints in delivering projects contributing to the sustainable development of communities in Angola. Our specialized transport solutions will play a key role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of essential equipment, reinforcing our commitment to supporting global infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

This collaboration was made possible through the support of UK Export Finance (UKEF), which plays a crucial role in championing British manufacturing. UKEF’s backing not only enables companies like King Trailers to secure international contracts but also drives innovation and strengthens the UK supply chain. By providing financial support and export credit guarantees, UKEF helps safeguard skilled jobs at King Trailers and across the wider UK manufacturing sector, ensuring long-term growth and competitiveness on the global stage.

UKEF issued the guarantee through its Standard Buyer Loan Guarantee product. By helping buyers to purchase UK exports more easily, loans from or guaranteed by UKEF secure export contracts with good payment terms for British businesses – including small businesses likely to need payment upfront before they can deliver a contract.

CHANDLER, Ariz., March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Microchip Technology’s (Nasdaq: MCHP) PolarFire^® System on Chip (SoC) FPGAs have earned the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC)-Q100 qualification. The AEC-Q standards are a guideline for integrated circuits, using stress tests to measure the reliability of electronic components in vehicles. AEC-Q100 qualified devices have gone through rigorous testing to demonstrate they can withstand extreme conditions in automotive applications. The PolarFire SoC FPGA has been qualified for automotive Grade 1 temperatures, -40°C to 125°C.

PolarFire SoC FPGAs feature an embedded 64-bit, quad-core RISC-V^® architecture capable of running Linux^® and real-time operating systems (RTOS), with mid-range density programmable logic of up to 500K logic elements (LE). The SoC FPGA is designed for complex applications that demand low-power, high-performance, exceptional reliability and an extended operating temperature range. Devices with the same density and package have scalable assurance and share pin-package compatibility across temperature grades, making it appropriate for automotive use as well as aerospace and military applications.

The SoC FPGAs incorporate embedded security and safety features to protect physical, device, design and data integrity. The SoCs are designed with single event upset (SEU) immunity, which enhances reliability and helps mitigate the risk of data corruption and system failures in demanding environments.

“Achieving the AEC-Q100 qualification for our PolarFire SoC FPGAs validates that our technology can perform under the most challenging conditions and underscores our commitment to delivering robust solutions to meet the stringent demands of the automotive industry,” said Bruce Weyer, Corporate Vice President of Microchip’s FPGA business unit. “Our low-power design and RISC-V cores empower automotive engineers to create advanced, reliable and energy-efficient solutions for next-generation automotive systems.”

PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs deliver power and thermal efficiency, eliminating the need for active cooling while ensuring high integration, defense-grade security and reliability. With high levels of scalability, they maintain performance across varying temperature conditions and meet stringent demands of mission-critical environments.

Development Tools
PolarFire SoCs are supported by Microchip’s Libero^® SoC Design Suite, SmartHLS™, VectorBlox™ and Microchip’s Mi-V ecosystem of partner platforms for rapid RISC-V application development. Additionally, a wide variety of Microchip and partner intellectual property (IP) cores are available to accelerate time-to-market.
