President and CEO Steve Horn talks to Advisor Access about the company’s strategy that has led to 35 successive years of dividend growth.

Advisor Access: For readers unfamiliar with NNN REIT, would you share an overview of the REIT and explain your niche in the sector?

Steve Horn: We own a robust portfolio of 3,641 triple-net-leased properties in 50 states with more than 36 million square feet of gross leasable area and a 25-year average occupancy rate of 98.2 percent. Owning our properties on a triple-net-lease basis puts the property-level operating expenses in the hands of our tenants and allows more of our rental revenue to go straight to our bottom line. Since the 1990s, we have generated consistent stockholder returns supported by strong dividend yields and 35 consecutive annual dividend increases. Our shareholders have enjoyed a 30-year average annual total return of 11.1%. We are known as a disciplined and deliberate team with a consistent, strong track record of sustainable performance.

AA: NNN announced Q1 2025 results on May 1. What are some of the highlights?

AA: NNN has had 35 consecutive years of annual dividend increases, the third longest track record of all REITs. To what do you attribute this remarkable run?

AA: Would you explain how your retail net lease strategy generates a reliable income stream, higher occupancy and less volatility?

AA: In a higher interest rate environment and economic uncertainty, are you making any adjustments?

MIL-OSI: Cyabra Report Uncovers Coordinated Disinformation Campaign Targeting Portugal’s 2025 Elections, Featured on CNN
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Cyabra has entered into a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corp. (TBMC)

New York, NY, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cyabra Strategy Ltd. (“Cyabra”), a leading AI platform for real-time disinformation detection, has released a new investigation into coordinated manipulation campaigns aimed at swaying public opinion in the weeks ahead of Portugal’s general election. The findings, based on a comprehensive analysis of social media activity between April 14 and May 14, expose how fake profiles and bot networks are reshaping Portugal’s political discourse and voter sentiment in real time.

Cyabra’s report – “Fake Voices, Real Votes” – has been widely featured by CNN Portugal in a series of articles highlighting how inauthentic profiles attempted to hijack online conversations to boost the far-right Chega party while discrediting its rivals:

Exclusive: 58% of Chega’s support on X is fake, new investigation shows
Cyabra: This was the company that discovered the existence of fake Chega profiles that spread misinformation on social media

“What’s happening in Portugal is a masterclass in modern influence operations,” said Dan Brahmy, CEO & Co-founder of Cyabra. “This is a deliberate, strategic campaign to undermine democratic institutions, sway public opinion, and manipulate voters during a critical election. We’re proud that CNN is helping shine a light on these threats.”

Key Findings from the Report:
- 58% of the accounts commenting on Chega’s official X account were fake, creating the illusion of overwhelming public support.
- 49% of profiles commenting on posts from the Socialist (PS) and Social Democratic (PSD) parties were also fake, launching coordinated attacks against opposition leaders while promoting Chega in the same threads.
- Fake profiles amplified false narratives about Socialist leader Pedro Nuno Santos and malicious attacks on PSD’s Luís Montenegro, spreading conspiracy theories, economic discontent, and anti-immigration rhetoric.
- Many fake accounts engaged in cross-campaign promotion, simultaneously attacking rival parties and praising Chega—further evidence of a coordinated effort.
This is the latest in Cyabra’s global work supporting election protection. In 2024 alone – the biggest election year in history – Cyabra supported 19 democracies to monitor and safeguard their elections.

Cyabra has entered into a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (NASDAQ: TBMC), a blank-check special-purpose acquisition company.

Cyabra partnered with Global Vector Group.

MIL-OSI: XRP News: Nimanode Is Pioneering a No-Code AI Agent Builder on XRP to Power Web3 Automation
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

LEEDS, England, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Web3 continues to evolve, the limitations of manual execution, static smart contracts, and human-dependent workflows have become more visible than ever. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly proving its utility across industries but in Web3, AI is often misunderstood as little more than a chatbot layer or a trading algorithm. The potential for real, autonomous AI agents that interact directly with blockchains has yet to be fully realized. That potential is what Nimanode is fulfilling.

Nimanode is a new AI x blockchain platform built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) that empowers anyone, technical or not — to deploy autonomous AI agents that can work, earn, and evolve on-chain.

What makes Nimanode different isn’t just its AI or even its blockchain integration. It boasts of a hybrid model (off-chain & on-chain) that allows AI agents to act independently, adapt to on-chain events, and perform real work for users and organizations alike.

What Makes Nimanode Unique

From a zero-code interface, users can build intelligent agents that do far more than chat. These agents can:
- Deploy and manage smart contracts
- Reallocate capital across DeFi pools
- Monitor wallet and access risk in real time
- Ensure compliance with regional regulations
- Provide 24/7 on-chain support for dApps, DAOs, and marketplaces
Whether you’re a Web3 newbie, DAO, Institution, startup or investor, Nimanode lets you deploy AI Agents that automate entire workflows without needing to write code manually.

XRP + AI: The Missing Infrastructure

While most AI-blockchain projects default to Ethereum or private chains, Nimanode chose the XRP Ledger for a very specific reason: performance.

XRPL’s speed, scalability, and near-zero fees make it the ideal chain for intelligent agents operating at scale. Agents may interact with smart contracts, execute microtransactions, or request on-chain data hundreds of times per day — all of which require fast finality and cost-efficiency.

This native integration positions Nimanode as a protocol layer that enhances the XRP ecosystem while enabling a completely new category of on-chain intelligence.

$NMA: Utility Driven

At the heart of the platform is $NMA, the utility and governance token that powers agent deployment, upgrades, and staking. With their Presale set to launch soon, Early birds are getting a unique chance to back the infrastructure layer of AI-powered automation.

From agent deployment to marketplace interactions and protocol governance. $NMA Token holders can:
- Build and Deploy agents
- Earn staking rewards
- Unlock Agent Marketplace discounts
- Vote on platform upgrades and governance decisions
Final Word

The Web3 world doesn’t just need faster networks or prettier frontends, it needs autonomous infrastructure. AI agents are the next evolution in decentralization, and Nimanode is positioning itself to lead that frontier.

If you believe that smart contracts should be deployable without code…
If you believe that DeFi should be optimized by intelligent systems…
If you believe in a future where agents work for you, not the other way around…

Then Nimanode isn’t just another project, it’s your next protocol.

MIL-OSI Global: An 18th-century rebellion for liberty, equality and freedom − not in France or the United States, but Ireland

Shortly before midnight on May 23, 1798, highwaymen just north of Dublin intercepted and set on fire a mail coach headed to Belfast.

It was the signal meant to ignite revolution across all Ireland.

At the time, Ireland was a kingdom within the state of Great Britain. The island’s three religious factions had long been divided. Families who belonged to the Anglican Church of Ireland made up the aristocratic landlords and colonial administrators. Presbyterians, concentrated in the north, boasted a robust middle class. But as “dissenters” from the Anglican church, they were second-class citizens.

And most of the remaining 80% of the population, the “native” Catholics, were near-destitute farmers. For more than a hundred years, they had lived under debilitating penal laws meant to keep Catholics out of economic and political power.

A new organization, the Society of United Irishmen, was established in the early 1890s in Belfast, and chapters quickly spread to Dublin and across the country. Anyone could join, so long as they dreamed of making Ireland a republic, like the United States and France, where the people had dispensed with the monarch and ruled themselves.

Catholics and Presbyterians flocked to the cause, and even a few Anglicans joined up. The handsome and charismatic Lord Edward Fitzgerald, an Anglican son of a duke, renounced his title and commanded the society’s militia.

By 1798, a quarter of a million men, many armed with long-handled, iron-tipped pikes, awaited the summons.

It was the last time Catholics and Presbyterians in Ireland would unite under one banner in a really meaningful way until 1998, when a majority of both factions signed on to the Good Friday Agreement.

As an Irish studies scholar, I’d argue the nationalist movement was symbolized best by revolutionary Theobald Wolfe Tone, whose father was an Anglican tradesman and whose mother was born and raised a Catholic.

“I am a Protestant,” Tone wrote in his most famous political pamphlet, but also “a lover of justice and a steady detester of tyranny.”

Enlightenment ideals

Ever since King Henry VIII severed his nation’s ties to Roman Catholicism in the 16th century, Irish Catholics had suffered for their faith. Their lands were confiscated. They couldn’t bear arms. They couldn’t run schools or build churches. Though the worst of these laws had been reformed by the end of the 18th century and a small Catholic middle class was emerging, they were still barred from political office.

Inspired by the American and French revolutions, the United Irishmen wanted a secular republic that separated church from state. They professed the Enlightenment principles of equality, liberty and government by the people – and thought citizens had a duty to abolish any government destructive of their rights.

Their creed was a secular catechism, often expressed in the form of a question-and-answer text:

What is in your hand? It is a branch.
Of what? Of the Tree of Liberty
Where did it first grow? In America.
Where did it bloom? In France.
Where did the seeds fall? In Ireland.

Transcending sectarian differences, these Irish patriots took green as the color of their national flag. Upon this field they imposed an ancient symbol of Ireland, the harp.

The rebellion

The English began to suspect a revolt, and in 1787 they decided to strike first, unleashing a brutal crackdown. Redcoats “dragooned” the country, ransacking and burning homes, and flogging and summarily executing suspects.

The Irish still sing about it today in the ballad “The Wearing of the Green”:

I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand,
He said, “How’s dear old Ireland and how does she stand?”
“She’s the most distressful country that you have ever seen,

They’re hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.”

Young Wolfe Tones singing ‘The Wearing of the Green.’

Most of the United Irishmen’s leaders, including Fitzgerald, were arrested or killed in the dragnet. As a result, when the signal finally came, the flaming mail coach proved a fizzle rather than a rocket.

Like guttering candles, the rebellion spent itself in uncoordinated risings at different times in different parts of the country. Help from France, which was then at war with Great Britain, came too little and too late. By October, Ireland’s revolution had been brutally suppressed.

Historical memory

Even before the conflict was over, aristocratic Anglican writers such as Sir Richard Musgrave spun the rebellion as an uprising of disgruntled Catholics. Reprisal killings, like rebels’ massacre of government supporters in County Wexford, helped them portray the rebellion as a religious war: Catholics against Protestants.

Cynical English policies further dissolved the Presbyterian-Catholic alliance. An “Act of Union” in 1800 rewarded Irish Presbyterians with full citizenship – not in an Irish republic, but in the Protestant, monarchical state of Great Britain.

Catholics, still oppressed and impoverished, had yet to face their most difficult trial: An Gorta Mor, the potato famine of the 1840s. About a million people, nearly all of them Catholic, died of starvation or disease, and another 2 million emigrated. Ireland’s population was reduced by a third.

Because Irish nationalism became synonymous with Catholic liberation, it was mostly Catholics who celebrated the memory of the United Irishmen. The “Fenians,” a nationalist brotherhood who fought for Irish independence in the 1860s, used the United Irishmen for inspiration. Their famous ballad “The Rising of the Moon” laments, “What glorious pride and sorrow/ Fill the name of Ninety-Eight!”

Religious states

On Easter Monday 1916, Irish republicans rose up again in Dublin, beginning the revolution that would lead, finally, to Irish independence. One portion of their forces, the Citizen Army, raised the old United Irishmen’s banner above their headquarters in Dublin, Liberty Hall.

But when the Irish got their “Free State,” they did not build the kind of secular republic envisioned by the United Irishmen. The new country was a decidedly Catholic nation.

The nation’s new flag, the Irish tricolor, included green for Catholics, orange for Protestants and white to represent peace between them. But it was a largely empty gesture. Today only about 4% of the population of the Republic of Ireland identify as Protestant, while another 15% say they have no religion.

That’s mostly because in 1922 the British carved out an enclave of six northern counties where most of the Presbyterians and many Anglicans lived. This political entity, “Northern Ireland,” stayed united to England. Protestants outnumbered Catholics 2-to-1, and the minority faced widespread discrimination.

Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr., Catholics in Northern Ireland began a campaign for equal rights in 1968. But when their acts of civil disobedience were met with violence, peaceful protest devolved into “the Troubles,” a guerrilla war to get the British out.

Making peace

A ceasefire was called in 1994, not long before the bicentennial of Ireland’s 1798 rebellion.

To coincide with the anniversary, historian Kevin Whelan published an influential book, “The Tree of Liberty,” which emphasized the 1798 rebellion’s Enlightenment foundation. Catholics and Protestants together, Whelan argued, had fought to construct a secular nation based on equal rights.

In 1998, people all over the country commemorated the rebellion, though the sectarian divisions and the violence of the Troubles loomed large.

Almost exactly 200 years after the United Irishmen rose up, the people of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland voted in favor of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Though Northern Ireland remains part of the United Kingdom today, the treaty secured the main goal of the 1798 rebellion: equal rights and self-determination for all citizens, no matter their religion.

Children and teenagers of any age who sip or taste alcohol with their parents’ permission are more likely to engage in risky drinking in young adulthood. That was the finding of a new study my colleagues and I published in the journal Addictive Behaviors.

In the study, we examined questionnaires filled out annually between 2009 and 2018 by 387 adolescents starting at age 11 and an accompanying parent. Topics included history of child and parent alcohol use, beliefs about alcohol and rules about alcohol in the home. The questionnaires also asked adolescents if they ever drank alcohol with their parents’ permission, even just a few sips – and if yes, at what age they first did so.

We analyzed whether drinking alcohol with parental permission during adolescence predicted alcohol outcomes in young adulthood, at ages 18 to 20. These outcomes included how often and how much they drank, alcohol use disorder symptoms and negative consequences such as self-injury and regretting things said while drinking.

Then, we looked at whether the age at which this practice began affected likelihood of risky drinking. In our analysis, we also accounted for factors such as peer alcohol use, parental alcohol use and personality.

In our sample, drinking with parental permission began anywhere from age 5 to age 17, but typically started around age 12. We found that about 80% of the adolescents responded that they had drunk alcohol with parental permission. That number is higher than in some other studies, most likely because our study had a wide age range. Research exploring this topic generally focuses on younger adolescents, who are less likely to be allowed to try alcohol by their parents, but this practice becomes more common as adolescents get older.

We found that adolescents were more likely in young adulthood to drink more often and in greater amounts in families that allowed this practice compared with those that did not. The risk of experiencing symptoms of alcohol use disorder and negative consequences from drinking in young adulthood was also higher. Importantly, the age at which drinking with parents’ permission began did not change this effect.

Alcohol slows down the brain by affecting brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.

Why it matters

Parents play a critical role in teaching their children about alcohol. The family is often the first context in which children are introduced to alcohol, either by trying it themselves or by observing others drinking. In the U.S., studies suggest that 30% to 40% of children under age 13 try alcohol with parental permission.

Many parents view this as a protective strategy, believing that it reduces curiosity about alcohol and provides an opportunity to supervise safe drinking. Yet studies from several research groups have found that parents providing alcohol, even just sips or tastes, actually increases rather than decreases future drinking.

Our study is the first to explore whether the age that trying alcohol with parental permission makes a difference for increased potential of later alcohol use. Overall, the findings can inform public health messages explaining the risks of allowing adolescents to try alcohol at any age.

Why might parental permission to sip or taste alcohol increase risk? Some scientists have speculated that it may promote the belief that parents approve of underage drinking and shift children’s attitudes and beliefs to be more pro-alcohol.

Ongoing and still unpublished work in our lab supports this. Namely, it strengthens their beliefs in the potential positive outcomes of drinking, such as making parties more fun, and weakens their beliefs in the potential negative outcomes, such as getting in trouble.

What still isn’t known

Future studies can shed light on whether regularly sipping and tasting alcohol in adolescence is more risky than doing it just once or twice.

Additionally, how harmful the practice is may depend on adolescents’ personalities as well as the context in which parents allow it. For example, it may be particularly harmful for children who are inclined to seek out novel and exciting experiences. On the other hand, in highly structured settings such as religious events, it may be less risky.

MIL-OSI Global: How 3D printing is personalizing health care

Source: The Conversation – USA – By Anne Schmitz, Associate Professor of Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Stout

Three-dimensional printing is transforming medical care, letting the health care field shift from mass-produced solutions to customized treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. For instance, researchers are developing 3D-printed prosthetic hands specifically designed for children, made with lightweight materials and adaptable control systems.

These continuing advancements in 3D-printed prosthetics demonstrate their increasing affordability and accessibility. Success stories like this one in personalized prosthetics highlight the benefits of 3D printing, in which a model of an object produced with computer-aided design software is transferred to a 3D printer and constructed layer by layer.

We are a biomedical engineer and chemist who work with 3D printing. We study how this rapidly evolving technology provides new options not just for prosthetics but for implants, surgical planning, drug manufacturing and other health care needs. The ability of 3D printing to make precisely shaped objects in a wide range of materials has led to, for example, custom replacement joints and custom-dosage, multidrug pills.

Better body parts

Three-dimensional printing in health care started in the 1980s with scientists using technologies such as stereolithography to create prototypes layer by layer. Stereolithography uses a computer-controlled laser beam to solidify a liquid material into specific 3D shapes. The medical field quickly saw the potential of this technology to create implants and prosthetics designed specifically for each patient.

One of the first applications was creating tissue scaffolds, which are structures that support cell growth. Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital combined these scaffolds with patients’ own cells to build replacement bladders. The patients remained healthy for years after receiving their implants, demonstrating that 3D-printed structures could become durable body parts.

As technology progressed, the focus shifted to bioprinting, which uses living cells to create working anatomical structures. In 2013, Organovo created the world’s first 3D-bioprinted liver tissue, opening up exciting possibilities for creating organs and tissues for transplantation. But while significant advances have been made in bioprinting, creating full, functional organs such as livers for transplantation remains experimental. Current research focuses on developing smaller, simpler tissues and refining bioprinting techniques to improve cell viability and functionality. These efforts aim to bridge the gap between laboratory success and clinical application, with the ultimate goal of providing viable organ replacements for patients in need.

Three-dimensional printing already has revolutionized the creation of prosthetics. It allows prosthetics makers to produce affordable custom-made devices that fit the patient perfectly. They can tailor prosthetic hands and limbs to each individual and easily replace them as a child grows.

Three-dimensionally printed implants, such as hip replacements and spine implants, offer a more precise fit, which can improve how well they integrate with the body. Traditional implants often come only in standard shapes and sizes.

Surgeons are able to use 3D printing to make medical implants to fit individual patients.

Some patients have received custom titanium facial implants after accidents. Others had portions of their skulls replaced with 3D-printed implants.

Additionally, 3D printing is making significant strides in dentistry. Companies such as Invisalign use 3D printing to create custom-fit aligners for teeth straightening, demonstrating the ability to personalize dental care.

Scientists are also exploring new materials for 3D printing, such as self-healing bioglass that might replace damaged cartilage. Moreover, researchers are developing 4D printing, which creates objects that can change shape over time, potentially leading to medical devices that can adapt to the body’s needs.

For example, researchers are working on 3D-printed stents that can respond to changes in blood flow. These stents are designed to expand or contract as needed, reducing the risk of blockage and improving long-term patient outcomes.

Simulating surgeries

Three-dimensionally printed anatomical models often help surgeons understand complex cases and improve surgical outcomes. These models, created from medical images such as X-rays and CT scans, allow surgeons to practice procedures before operating.

For instance, a 3D-printed model of a child’s heart enables surgeons to simulate complex surgeries. This approach can lead to shorter operating times, fewer complications and lower costs.

Personalized pharmaceuticals

In the pharmaceutical industry, drugmakers can three-dimensionally print personalized drug dosages and delivery systems. The ability to precisely layer each component of a drug means that they can make medicines with the exact dose needed for each patient. The 3D-printed anti-epileptic drug Spritam was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2015 to deliver very high dosages of its active ingredient.

Drug production systems that use 3D printing are finding homes outside pharmaceutical factories. The drugs potentially can be made and delivered by community pharmacies. Hospitals are starting to use 3D printing to make medicine on-site, allowing for personalized treatment plans based on factors such as the patient’s age and health.

Three-dimensionally printed pharmaceuticals make it possible to customize the types, doses and release times of drugs.

However, it’s important to note that regulations for 3D-printed drugs are still being developed. One concern is that postprinting processing may affect the stability of drug ingredients. It’s also important to establish clear guidelines and decide where 3D printing should take place – whether in pharmacies, hospitals or even at home. Additionally, pharmacists will need rigorous training in these new systems.

Printing for the future

Despite the extraordinarily rapid progress overall in 3D printing for health care, major challenges and opportunities remain. Among them is the need to develop better ways to ensure the quality and safety of 3D-printed medical products. Affordability and accessibility also remain significant concerns. Long-term safety concerns regarding implant materials, such as potential biocompatibility issues and the release of nanoparticles, require rigorous testing and validation.

While 3D printing has the potential to reduce manufacturing costs, the initial investment in equipment and materials can be a barrier for many health care providers and patients, especially in underserved communities. Furthermore, the lack of standardized workflows and trained personnel can limit the widespread adoption of 3D printing in clinical settings, hindering access for those who could benefit most.

On the bright side, artificial intelligence techniques that can effectively leverage vast amounts of highly detailed medical data are likely to prove critical in developing improved 3D-printed medical products. Specifically, AI algorithms can analyze patient-specific data to optimize the design and fabrication of 3D-printed implants and prosthetics. For instance, implant makers can use AI-driven image analysis to create highly accurate 3D models from CT scans and MRIs that they can use to design customized implants.

Furthermore, machine learning algorithms can predict the long-term performance and potential failure points of 3D-printed prosthetics, allowing prosthetics designers to optimize for improved durability and patient safety.

Three-dimensional printing continues to break boundaries, including the boundary of the body itself. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have developed a technique that uses ultrasound to turn a liquid injected into the body into a gel in 3D shapes. The method could be used one day for delivering drugs or replacing tissue.

Overall, the field is moving quickly toward personalized treatment plans that are closely adapted to each patient’s unique needs and preferences, made possible by the precision and flexibility of 3D printing.

News story

Charity Commission statement on Kids Company Judgment

The collapse of Kids Company was a matter of significant public, media and Parliamentary interest at the time, with ramifications for the wider charitable sector, notably on public trust and confidence in charities.
Today’s High Court judgment has upheld our finding of mismanagement of the charity’s finances and has confirmed that it was based on “ample evidence”. Furthermore, the judgment firmly rejected allegations we predetermined the outcome of the inquiry, stating the threshold for this was “not met in this case by a wide margin”.

The court has confirmed it was entirely reasonable for the Commission to have drawn independent regulatory conclusions on the demise of Kids Company, based on all the evidence available, in keeping with the role Parliament has set us.

The judgment notes we took care in the inquiry report to point out areas in which the charity’s trustees were acting within their duties and responsibilities, and where we found external criticism of the charity was unfounded. Our inquiry report stated clearly there was “no dishonesty, bad faith or inappropriate personal gain in the operation of the charity”.

While the court has dismissed the challenge on all but two grounds, and is clear that the overall findings of our report were not ‘irrational’, we acknowledge its finding that we made important errors in relation to two paragraphs of the report and will act to remedy this.

SAN CARLOS, Calif., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When you’re struggling with bad credit, applying for a loan can feel like facing a locked door. Traditional banks often reject applications based solely on credit scores, leaving many people feeling like they’ve run out of options.

But having a low credit score doesn’t mean you’re out of choices. The lending landscape has evolved, with several companies now using more holistic approaches to evaluate borrowers beyond just their credit scores.

CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY WITH A SIMPLE APPLICATION

Here, we’ll explore best loans for bad credit, with a particular focus on Upstart’s AI-powered lending platform. We’ll examine what makes certain loans more suitable for bad credit situations, how to apply, and provide honest comparisons to help you make an informed decision.

Key Takeaways

Bad credit (scores below 580) makes traditional loans difficult but not impossible to obtain
Several lenders now use alternative approval factors beyond just credit scores, including no credit check payday loans guaranteed approval.
Upstart uses AI technology to consider education, employment history, and income alongside credit
Interest rates for bad credit loans typically range from 8.99% to 35.99% APR
Understanding the full cost of loans, including origination fees, is essential before applying for no credit check payday loans guaranteed approval.
Avoiding predatory lenders with extremely high APRs (above 36%) is crucial

What Is a “Bad Credit” Score and How Does It Affect You?

Before diving into the best loans for bad credit, it’s important to understand what lenders mean by “bad credit” and how it affects your borrowing potential. Credit scores typically range from 300 to 850, with higher scores indicating better creditworthiness. Here’s how scores are generally categorized:

Credit Score Range	Category	Typical Loan Accessibility
740+	Excellent	Easily approved with best rates
670-739	Good	Good approval odds with competitive rates
580-669	Fair	Limited options with higher rates
Below 580	Poor/Bad	Specialized lenders, highest rates

A score below 580 is typically considered “bad credit” and results from factors such as:

Late or missed payments on existing accounts
High credit utilization (using most of your available credit)
Recent bankruptcies or collections
Limited credit history
Multiple recent credit applications

A low score can be a hurdle, but it’s not the end of your options. Many people have successfully rebuilt their credit over time, and some lenders specifically focus on helping borrowers during this rebuilding phase. These include no credit check loans guaranteed approval direct lender options, which help provide access to necessary funds.

Complete the online application: The full application takes about 10-15 minutes and includes questions about your education, employment, and financial situation.
Verification and approval: Upstart may request additional documentation to verify your information. Most decisions come within minutes, though some applications require 1-2 days for review.
Accepting terms and receiving funds: Once approved, you’ll review the final loan offer, including the interest rate, term, and any origination fee. If you accept, funds are typically deposited within one business day.

“The application process was much less stressful than I expected,” shared Jamie, a teacher from Florida with a 565 credit score who borrowed $8,000 for home repairs. “I thought I’d need to explain my credit mistakes, but the system seemed more interested in my stable job history and education.”

CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY WITH NO IMPACT TO YOUR CREDIT SCORE

Warning Signs of Predatory Lenders

When searching for loans, it’s important to avoid predatory lenders who charge exorbitant rates. Look out for:

APR above 36%: These are considered high-risk loans and should be avoided.
Hidden fees: Legitimate lenders disclose all fees upfront.
Pressure tactics: If a lender is pushing you to make a quick decision, it’s a red flag.
Guaranteed approval claims: No reputable lender guarantees approval before reviewing your application.

Using Loans to Rebuild Your Credit

A personal loan isn’t just a way to get money—it’s a tool for financial recovery. When looking for the best loans for bad credit, here’s how to make the most of your loan:

Debt consolidation: Combine high-interest debts into one manageable payment.
Emergency expenses: Use your loan for medical bills, car repairs, or urgent home repairs.
Improve credit: On-time payments can help improve your credit score, making it easier to get better loans in the future.

Is Upstart Right for You?

Upstart is a great option if:

You have a steady income and are looking to rebuild your credit.
You need funds quickly (within 1-2 business days).
You’re seeking a loan with no prepayment penalties and the ability to build your credit.

It may not be ideal if:

You have no stable income.
You need a loan term shorter than 36 months or longer than 60 months.
You’re borrowing a small amount, and a high origination fee would make it too costly.

CHECK YOUR RATES WITH NO RISK TO YOUR CREDIT SCORE.

Final Thoughts: Finding the Right Path Forward

Bad credit doesn’t have to be a roadblock to financial freedom. With Upstart, you have a chance to access the best loans for bad credit that consider more than just your credit score—an opportunity to rebuild your credit, consolidate debt, and cover emergency expenses.

Whether you need funds for medical bills, home repairs, or even debt consolidation, Upstart’s AI-powered platform evaluates your full financial picture, offering loan options with fairer terms than traditional lenders. With fast approval and funding within one business day, you’re never left waiting for a lifeline.

MIL-OSI: MicroAlgo Inc. Researches Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms to Accelerate Machine Learning Tasks

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

shenzhen, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shenzhen, May. 20, 2025/––MicroAlgo Inc. (the “Company” or “MicroAlgo”) (NASDAQ: MLGO), announced that quantum algorithms will be deeply integrated with machine learning to explore practical application scenarios for quantum acceleration.
Quantum machine learning algorithms represent an innovative approach that applies the principles of quantum computing to the field of machine learning. By leveraging the unique properties of quantum bits, such as superposition and entanglement, these algorithms enable parallel data processing and efficient computation. Compared to classical algorithms, quantum machine learning demonstrates significant advantages in feature extraction, model training, and predictive inference. It is particularly well-suited for handling high-dimensional data, optimizing combinatorial problems, and solving large-scale linear equations. Quantum machine learning algorithms can process more complex datasets in a shorter time, enhancing both the speed of model training and the accuracy of predictions.
MicroAlgo’s development of quantum machine learning technology follows a closed-loop process of “problem modeling – quantum circuit design – experimental validation – optimization iteration.” For specific machine learning tasks (such as classification, regression, or clustering), the team preprocesses classical data into quantum state inputs, mapping feature vectors into a quantum system using techniques like amplitude encoding or density matrix encoding. Quantum circuits are designed based on task requirements, for instance, by employing variational quantum algorithms (VQA) to construct trainable parameterized quantum gate sequences, with a classical optimizer adjusting the quantum circuit parameters to minimize the target function. During the quantum computing execution phase, the circuits are run on a quantum computer or cloud platform, and quantum measurement results are obtained and converted into classical data outputs.Validate model performance through classical post-processing, analyze error sources, and reverse optimize quantum circuit structure and parameters.
Quantum Feature Mapping: Embedding classical data into a quantum state space, enhancing data distinguishability through techniques such as quantum Fourier transform or amplitude amplification.
Quantum Circuit Optimization: Employing adaptive variational algorithms to dynamically adjust circuit depth, balancing computational resources with model expressiveness.
Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architecture: Combining the parallel advantages of quantum computing with the flexibility of classical computing to achieve efficient collaborative training.
Noise Suppression Techniques: Addressing the noise issues in current quantum hardware by introducing quantum error correction codes and error mitigation strategies to improve computational accuracy.
MicroAlgo’s quantum machine learning algorithms leverage the parallelism and efficiency of quantum computing to accelerate the execution of machine learning tasks, enabling the processing of more complex datasets in shorter timeframes while improving model training speed and prediction accuracy. These quantum machine learning algorithms can handle high-dimensional data and complex patterns that traditional machine learning algorithms struggle to address. The unique properties of quantum bits, such as superposition and entanglement, allow quantum machine learning algorithms to efficiently represent and process data in high-dimensional spaces, uncovering complex patterns that conventional algorithms cannot capture. Additionally, MicroAlgo’s quantum machine learning algorithms offer strong scalability and flexibility, making them adaptable to datasets of varying sizes and types as well as diverse machine learning task requirements.
The quantum machine learning algorithms researched by MicroAlgo hold broad application prospects across multiple domains. In the financial sector, these algorithms can be used for predicting and analyzing financial time-series data, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of trading decisions. In the medical field, quantum machine learning algorithms can support the development and implementation of personalized healthcare plans by analyzing patients’ genetic information and clinical data, accurately predicting treatment outcomes and providing tailored medical solutions. In the logistics sector, these algorithms can be applied to supply chain management and logistics optimization tasks, offering analytical and decision-making support to help businesses improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. Furthermore, quantum machine learning algorithms can also be utilized in areas such as cybersecurity, smart manufacturing, and energy management, delivering efficient data analysis and optimization solutions for these fields.
As quantum computing technology continues to advance and research into quantum machine learning algorithms deepens, quantum algorithms are poised to address challenges that classical computers cannot solve, bringing disruptive innovations to various industries in the future.

MIL-OSI: Sharc Energy’s Wet System Powers Groundbreaking Sen̓áḵw Energy System

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SHARC International Systems Inc. (CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) (“SHARC Energy” or the “Company”) is proud to announce its Wastewater Energy Transfer (“WET“) system as the core component of Creative Energy’s Sen̓áḵw Energy System, the district energy system, or thermal energy network, that will be supporting the landmark Vancouver based project, Sen̓áḵw—an ambitious undertaking representing the largest real estate development in Canadian First Nations history. The SHARC WET system has been shipped to the project.

District Energy Systems (“DES”), or Thermal Energy Networks (“TEN”), provide thermal energy to multiple buildings from a central energy plant. Steam or hot water produced at the plant is transmitted 24/7 through highly insulated underground thermal piping networks. Thermal energy is transferred into and from the building’s system through energy transfer stations placed in the building, reducing mechanical room space required for housing equipment and simplifying heating and cooling systems. SHARC Energy enables DES or TENs to leverage wastewater, a forgotten resource, as a low-carbon source of thermal energy to help save energy and reduce carbon emissions on a multiple-building scale.

“We are extremely pleased to announce our partnership with Creative Energy and the Squamish Nation to participate in the rebirth of the historic village of Senakw located in the heart of Vancouver. We are developing a net- zero district heating and cooling system for Sen̓áḵw, which will contain 11 buildings and over 6,000 rental homes, designed to leverage sewer heat recovery as a low-carbon source of thermal energy by extracting heat from one of Metro Vancouver’s nearby sewer trunk mains. Working with SHARC Energy, we will utilize its WET system as the core component for the Sen̓áḵw Energy System,” says Kieran McConnell, Senior Vice President, Engineering & Innovation, Creative Energy.

Sen̓áḵw, is being developed by the Squamish Nation’s economic development arm, Nch’ḵay̓ Development Corporation. Once fully completed, it will comprise 11 buildings featuring over 6,000 rental units across more than 3 million square feet of residential floor space. It is set to become Canada’s largest net zero operational carbon purpose-built community.

Over the next 30 years, the Sen̓áḵw Energy System is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 120,000 tonnes compared to a conventional natural-gas based system. This reduction is equivalent to planting 5.5 Stanley Parks or 165,000 acres of trees. The system will initially provide heating and cooling to each building within the development with the potential for future expansion to accommodate upcoming projects.

Significantly, this project not only represents the first private development in British Columbia to leverage Metro Vancouver’s Sewage and Waste: Heat Recovery policy, but also marks the first private residential development in Canada to harness an external sewer force main as its primary energy source.

“District energy systems powered by renewable sources have significant benefits for the community and for the climate,” said Mike Hurley, Chair of the Metro Vancouver Board of Directors. “We’re pleased to provide access to the abundant heat in our sewers for this project and others like it, which will help us achieve regional carbon neutrality by 2050.”

Currently, there are several WET district energy projects in development in various stages across the lower mainland of British Columbia. Quietly, the Metro Vancouver region is becoming the Wastewater Energy Transfer capital of the world showcasing climate leadership in how other regions globally can leverage a forgotten resource like wastewater to significantly decarbonize heating and gain natural resources like fresh water used in cooling towers. As highlighted in a recent Wall Street Journal article featuring several SHARC WET projects, awareness and education around the untapped reservoir of energy available in the sewers continues to gain momentum.

“SHARC Energy is excited to be at the forefront of this transformative project,” said Michael Albertson, CEO of SHARC Energy. “The Sen̓áḵw development sets a new standard for sustainable urban living, and our WET system is pivotal in realizing this vision.”

In North America, recent years have shown the proliferation of legislation supporting DES or TEN systems. Currently, eight states, including Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Colorado, Washington, Maryland, Vermont and California, have legislation that either allows or mandates utilities to develop thermal energy network demonstration projects or pilots.

About SHARC Energy

SHARC International Systems Inc. is a world leader in energy transfer with the wastewater we send down the drain every day. SHARC Energy’s systems exchange thermal energy with wastewater, generating one of the most energy-efficient and economical systems for heating, cooling & hot water production for commercial, residential and industrial buildings along with thermal energy networks, commonly referred to as “District Energy”.

The firm’s name is an acronym for “principles, care and comprehensive approach,” which the team uses as a guidepost to provide a truly integrated experience for their clients.

Making this move to LPL was the right choice for our business and our clients.”

Owens added, “This industry is changing faster than ever before, and I see this move to LPL as my greatest opportunity to regain my independence and to get back to the reasons I got into the financial industry in the first place — entrepreneurship and the ability to help my clients safeguard their fiscal futures.”

Scott Posner, LPL Managing Director, Business Development, said, “We welcome Duane and Phillip and congratulate them on the move to independence.

MIL-OSI: 8 Rivers Partners with Navajo Transitional Energy Company on Feasibility Study to Develop a Gigawatt of Decarbonized Coal Power

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

DURHAM, N.C., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 8 Rivers Capital, LLC, (8 Rivers) a world-leading decarbonization technology developer, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has contracted with the Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) to conduct a technical feasibility study for a proposed power plant project at a site co-located with an existing NTEC coal mine, either at the Navajo Mine located on the Navajo Nation or at a Powder River Basin location. The project would leverage 8 Rivers’ proprietary Allam-Fetvedt Cycle (AFC) power cycle technology and direct-fired supercritical CO₂ turbines it is developing with Siemens Energy to deliver ultra-low-carbon coal power production with inherent carbon capture. AFC eliminates air emissions with the only byproducts being liquid water and pipeline-ready CO₂.

Under this agreement, the AFC would be deployed in stages to provide power for up to 1000 megawatts of equivalent generation at an NTEC site utilizing NTEC coal. Once operational, the project will deliver an estimated one gigawatt of reliable, dispatchable base-load power while capturing ~8 million tons of CO₂ per year. The Navajo Mine site offers the benefits of being strategically placed near existing transmission infrastructure and NTEC’s Navajo Park Electrical Switching Station (NEPSS), which would eliminate the historic interconnection backlogs energy projects face across the U.S. This project supports NTEC’s goal of deploying clean energy generation that maintains and grows the Navajo Nation’s skilled workforce, maximizes the benefits of its natural resources, and provides reliable, affordable zero-emissions power to the region.

This agreement represents an extension of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NTEC and 8 Rivers that was signed in 2024. Under that agreement, the two Companies announced intentions to jointly seek opportunities to develop and market new decarbonized power production projects using AFC technology that can be used as an anchor for further business development opportunities.

“Pragmatic, scalable, ultra-low-carbon technologies will foster continued economic prosperity, clean air, and energy security for communities like the Navajo Nation and others across New Mexico and the Powder River Basin,” said Damian Beauchamp, CEO of 8 Rivers. “We’re incredibly proud to be working with NTEC and our partners at Siemens Energy on this project, which we truly believe is a testament to the region and community’s rich energy production history and a strategic investment into its long-term energy independence.”

NTEC will provide the fuel and operate the site while 8 Rivers and Siemens Energy will provide technological and development support. Under the terms of the study, 8 Rivers and NTEC will also pursue a techno-economic evaluation of the project’s CO₂ transportation and storage options, including enhanced oil recovery and/or permanent geologic storage.

NTEC was formed by the Navajo Nation to establish energy independence and build its economy for future generations. The 2013 Navajo Nation Energy Policy states that, “Diverse revenue streams from a balanced portfolio of energy extraction, generation and transmission will provide the Diné with economic stability, career opportunities and business opportunities.” This project’s engineering, construction, and ongoing operations will support this mission with the creation of hundreds of new jobs and provide new sources of revenue for the Navajo Nation while mitigating carbon emissions. In addition, the project will provide the region with access to more abundant secure, reliable, and affordable energy.

“In accordance with the 2013 Navajo Nation Energy Policy, NTEC is committed to the continued operation of Four Corners Power Plant and Navajo Mine in order to preserve their irreplaceable economic contributions to the Navajo Nation,” said Vern Lund, Chief Executive Officer for NTEC “As we continue to evaluate all options that make this possible, we believe that 8 Rivers’ AFC technology would an ideal solution to compliment the continued operations of Four Corners Power Plant in securing the long-term economic stability and growth of the Navajo Nation, while eliminating carbon emissions. We are excited to work with 8 Rivers on this feasibility study to examine the costs and benefits of AFC technology on a new plant.”

Once operational, the power generated at the proposed project would have the potential to be dispatched to meet local and regional energy demand, particularly for fast-growing applications like data centers and artificial intelligence. This partnership comes at a time when the Trump Administration is promoting increased investment into data center infrastructure and bolstering domestic clean coal production. New Mexico is also prioritizing the deployment of renewable energy assets, with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) setting a goal for utilities to provide 50% renewable energy by 2030 and a goal of 80% by 2040. As more intermittent resources come online, firm, reliable, ultra-low-carbon power generation assets like the AFC will be called upon to balance demand.

MIL-OSI: Only 1 in 100 insurers say Claims-Finance Collaboration is “highly effective”, new research by Vitesse finds
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vitesse, the trusted financial infrastructure connecting the global insurance ecosystem, today released a new research report:

The State of Claims Finance: Tackling Roadblocks in Payments, Liquidity and Financial Coordination. Based on insights from more than 200 senior insurance professionals across the US and UK, the report finds that:

Key Findings:
- Collaboration gaps: Only 1% of insurers rate collaboration between claims and finance teams as “highly effective,” exposing persistent silos that undermine payment accuracy, reconciliation, and financial oversight.
- Disbursement delays: 79% of insurers cite internal process complexity, and 78% say coordination with brokers, TPAs, or banks creates friction – slowing the final step of delivering funds to claimants.
- Liquidity bottlenecks: 66% of respondents say accessing readily available funds is a challenge, rising to 74% in the US – limiting their ability to settle claims efficiently and manage capital proactively.
- Data shortfall: 44% report data inconsistencies, while 41% cite a lack of transparency between departments – making it harder to coordinate disbursements and reconcile financial flows across systems and teams.
- Visibility issues: Only 32% of finance leaders say they have visibility into delegated claims funds, highlighting a critical blind spot in how insurers track, monitor and control distributed capital.
The report uncovers significant operational and infrastructure challenges behind the flow of claims funds. While many insurers are investing in front-end transformation, the financial coordination underpinning payments remains fragmented – slowing disbursements, increasing risk, and limiting visibility across internal teams and external partners.

“Many insurers are doing the right things, but they’re doing them on top of disconnected infrastructure,” said Philip McGriskin, CEO and founder of Vitesse. “When teams, systems, and partners lack shared visibility and control, friction becomes inevitable. The shift from fragmented workflows to unified financial infrastructure is becoming a strategic priority for insurers modernizing their operations. Claims finance can’t stay buried in the back office — it needs to become a driver of capital efficiency and trust.”

Many of these challenges are consistent across the globe, but some notable regional distinctions do exist. US-based treasury leaders placed greater emphasis on governance and compliance, with 37% naming it a top priority compared to 22% in the UK. Access to liquidity also emerged as a sharper concern in the US, where 74% report challenges accessing readily available funds, versus 58% in the UK.

“The US market is feeling the pressure of operational complexity – especially when it comes to compliance, oversight and managing funds across multiple partners,” said Curt Hess, President of Vitesse (US). “What stood out in the data is that US insurers are more likely to prioritize governance and control. That’s a reflection of real-world friction – complex regulation, decentralized systems and growing demands on finance teams. What they need now is infrastructure that brings clarity and control to the complexity. As claims ecosystems grow more complex, and regulatory pressure mounts, the ability to access, see and move funds quickly will define the next generation of performance.”

This report is released as Vitesse expands its US presence – most recently through the launch of Vitesse Trust Company, a New York-regulated entity helping insurers optimize claims funds with real-time clarity and control.

Notes to Editors

About the Research:
The findings are based on a quantitative survey of 213 senior insurance professionals across the US and UK, conducted in Q1 2025. Respondents included leaders from carriers, MGAs, TPAs, and brokers, with roles spanning claims, finance, and treasury functions.

MIL-OSI: Kinetic Seas Launches KineticMD, a New In-Office AI Assistant for Physicians, and Enters Licensing Agreement with ABBSI for Initial Deployment in Longevity Medicine

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kinetic Seas Incorporated (OTCQB: KSEZ), an emerging provider of secure AI systems for healthcare and enterprise environments, is proud to announce the launch of KineticMD, an advanced large language model (LLM) platform designed for in-office use by physicians and medical professionals. Unlike cloud-based AI tools, KineticMD runs entirely on-site, ensuring that sensitive patient data remains local, private, and fully under the control of each clinic.

KineticMD was co-developed with longevity physician Dr. Sasoon Moulavi, MD and has been initially licensed to the Age – Body – Brain – Stamina Institute (ABBSI). ABBSI is a private medical institute focused on advanced longevity treatments and personalized patient care, with a reputation for integrating cutting-edge diagnostics and protocols in elite wellness programs. This first deployment focuses on longevity medicine, providing doctors with a secure, AI-powered assistant that helps optimize patient treatment protocols without ever sending data to third-party servers. Future specialty modules are already in development for sports medicine, diet and weight loss, and other targeted areas.

Built from open-source foundations and optimized for regulatory environments, KineticMD empowers physicians to benefit from the speed and intelligence of LLMs without sacrificing privacy or compliance. This makes it ideal for use in concierge medicine, clinical practices, legal offices, and other sectors where data control is non-negotiable.

“We believe the future of medical AI is local,” said Edward Honour, CEO of Kinetic Seas. “The ABBSI partnership is just the beginning. We expect to train KineticMD assistants across multiple specialties, creating tailored, on-site AI that can support doctors with research, diagnosis, and workflow enhancement—without compromising on data integrity.”

KineticMD is offered through a licensing model that includes the proprietary software and localized hardware, with additional revenue generated through implementation support and specialty fine-tuning. The company projects approximately $5–10 million in annual revenue from its first contract with ABBSI, demonstrating the strong commercial potential of the platform.

Kinetic Seas believes AI will play a transformative role in elevating the standard of care across the U.S. healthcare system in the coming years. With the launch of KineticMD, the company is establishing itself as a leader in secure, domain-specific AI, empowering physicians to deliver better outcomes through personalized, intelligent, and private in-office tools.

MIL-OSI Africa: “The land is life”: A regional project supported by the African Development Bank boosts rural women’s climate resilience in Djibouti

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

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, May 20, 2025/APO Group/ —

“Before, farming was an unattainable dream. Today, I feed my children from the land.” These words from Assia Obakar Hassan, a mother from the village of Kalaf, epitomize the profound transformation benefiting part of rural northern Djibouti thanks to a regional project implemented by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) with funding from the African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) through the Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF).

In this region vulnerable to drought, food insecurity and rural poverty, secure access to land represents much more than a right to property: it is a tool for adapting to climate change and a lever for economic emancipation for hundreds of women.

Regaining dignity through the land

Living conditions in Kalaf and Dafenaytou have been transformed by the introduction of family vegetable gardens, forage plots, adapted farming tools and practical training. The aim is to make local agriculture a pillar of resilience, starting with those who support it on a daily basis.

“We had no right to land, no equipment and no training. Today, everything has changed,” explains Fatouma Ali Aden, a mother of three from Dafenaytou. “Our children eat fresh vegetables, and we are no longer dependent on foreign markets.”

Each household now has its own production area. “Thanks to these gardens, we have regained our autonomy,” adds Djilani Ali Ahmed, a community leader in Kalaf. “The women manage their own production and income and contribute to the village economy.”

Agricultural governance driven by women

The project was not confined to production: it also transformed local governance. The agricultural cooperative in Dafenaytou has over 70 members, the majority of whom are women, and 50% of its board members are female.

“Women are no longer just workers, they are decision-makers,” says Ali Kamil Mohamed, head of the cooperative. “Their practical vision and commitment have improved the effectiveness of all our actions.”

This change in approach has helped ensure a better match between the needs on the ground and the solutions proposed, consolidating the sustainability of the project.

Health, security and education: cascading effects

The social benefits of the project are considerable, from hygiene to nutrition and economic stability. The introduction of resistant seeds, simple irrigation systems and wheelbarrows has reduced the drudgery of the work and secured household food supplies.

“We now have a supply of grass for our animals, vegetables for our meals and even a small surplus to sell,” says Mohamed Soumbourouh Ibiro. “It’s a source of pride and security.”

The local school in Dafenaytou has also noted an improvement in attendance and concentration among children, especially girls, who have been freed from the chores of fetching water or food.

This project is an illustration of the African Development Bank’s strategic priorities, in particular one of the “High 5” pillars: “Improve the quality of life for the people of Africa” by promoting gender equality, ensuring food security and building climate resilience.

“This project has proved to us that it is possible,” concludes Assia Obakar Hassan. “With a little help, we can transform our villages, feed our families and pass on fertile land to our children.”

As climate challenges intensify in the Horn of Africa, Kalaf and Dafenaytou are leading the way. The IGAD/AfDB project has not only provided water, seeds and training: it has given dignity, confidence and a voice back to rural women.

In these villages, where every drop of water counts, the land has become a symbol of life, hope and resilience.

MIL-OSI Africa: Professor Benedict Oramah honoured with Chad’s prestigious ‘Commander of the National Order of Chad’ award

The rank of Commander (Commandeur) is a high distinction within this order, reflecting significant and sustained achievements while the National Order of Chad is a prestigious state honour awarded by the Republic of Chad to recognize exceptional service or contributions to the nation.

Reflecting on Chad’s 2022 political transition, President Idriss Derby Itno, expressed profound gratitude to Prof. Oramah and Afreximbank for standing with the country. He noted, “When other international lenders fled at the height of the unfortunate socio-political conflicts, Afreximbank stood firmly behind our country, continuing to push vital investments that now underpin the rapid socioeconomic recovery of our nation.”

While acknowledging the award, Professor Oramah said: “This honour is not just a recognition of my efforts, but a testament to the collective resolve of Afreximbank and its partners to transform Chad’s economy and empower its people. While I am deeply humbled by this honour, it is a call to duty. It was a reminder to the Bank to do even more to accelerate the structural transformation of the Chadian and the wider African economies.”

Chad became a member state of Afreximbank during the 36th African Union Summit where Afreximbank pledged to support strategic development projects in agriculture and livestock, two key pillars of Chad’s economy, to drive sustainable growth and economic diversification.

Afreximbank reaffirms its unwavering commitment to advancing Chad’s economic development through targeted investments, trade facilitation, and institutional capacity-building, ensuring shared prosperity and resilience in the years ahead.
