  • MIL-OSI: Transactix Launches New Era in Canadian Payments

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Consensus, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Transactix Financial Inc. today introduced a secure, unified payments platform that frees Canadians from the exorbitant fees and inefficiencies that impact the country’s financial well-being. 

    Its Open Value Network™ (“OVN”) is engineered to facilitate the immediate and seamless transfer and conversion of digital value – whether in tokens, points, credits, stablecoins, cryptocurrencies, or fiat currency – at a fraction of the cost Canadians have had to pay.

    “Moving value should be as cheap and effortless as sending a text message,” said Abou Daya, CEO of Calgary-based Transactix. “But Canadians continue to bear costs for transferring funds that are more comparable to snail mail or shipping a parcel than sending an email. This is an outdated paradigm that OVN will disrupt.” 

    Similarity in the price of financial transfers and physical mail delivery in Canada stems from legacy infrastructure, regulatory overhead, and the dominance of a few large financial institutions. These factors have kept costs high, even as digital technology has made near-instant, low-cost communication commonplace. In contrast, the OVN leverages modern, patented technology to eliminate these inefficiencies, making value transfer as inexpensive and immediate as digital messaging.

    A Platform for Growth, Security, and Innovation

    “The launch of the Open Value Network is a testament to Canadian innovation and leadership in blockchain technology,” said Koleya Karringten, Executive Director of the Canada Blockchain Consortium. “By enabling secure, immediate, and low-cost value transfers across a wide range of digital assets, OVN has the potential to empower consumers, drive fintech growth, and strengthen Canada’s economic sovereignty in the rapidly evolving global digital economy.”

    Transactix’s OVN is more than a payment network. It is a secure, developer-friendly ecosystem that:

    • Enables fintechs to build on a cohesive, blockchain native infrastructure, complementing existing legacy payment rails.
    • Empowers consumers and businesses with new, globally competitive services.
    • Advocates for regulatory modernization to foster innovation, reduce costs, and protect Canadian interests amid rising tariffs and global competition.
    • Illustrates to policymakers and regulators on how novel technologies can lower costs and strengthen Canada’s economic resilience.

    National Security and Economic Sovereignty

    The stability of Canada’s economy and the integrity of its currency are inseparable from national security. The rapid proliferation of stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, many issued by foreign entities, presents both opportunities and challenges for Canadian sovereignty and economic governance. As the world accelerates toward digital currencies, the United States is positioning itself as a global leader. Canada must keep pace with a robust digital currency strategy to safeguard its interests and ensure that Canadian businesses and consumers have access to homegrown digital assets.

    About Transactix

    Transactix is enabling individuals and companies to exchange money, cryptocurrencies, loyalty rewards, credits, and more — instantly, securely, for less than the price of a text message — with its revolutionary Open Value Network™ and Stablecoin-as-a-Service offerings. It is establishing a new benchmark for speed, affordability, accessibility with compliance in the digital economy powered by a proven infrastructure already processing over $100 billion (US) in transactions. www.transactix.ca

  • MIL-OSI Global: Trump’s tariff threat to foreign films overlooks the value of multilingual cinema

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Gaelle Planchenault, Associate Professor of French Media, Culture, and Applied Linguistics, Simon Fraser University

    With the 78th Cannes International Film Festival underway this week, there is little doubt that one topic will be central to conversations among filmmakers, sales agents and journalists: United States President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 100 per cent tax on foreign-made films.

    Amid an ongoing tariff war, Trump’s proposal — which may ultimately remain an empty threat — goes beyond economic protectionism. It is cultural protectionism. It also reflects language ideologies that have long constrained the American film industry and American engagement with multilingual cinema.

    Experts have offered various theories about the motivations behind this threat, as well as why it may ultimately prove unwise. In the rush to brace for impact, we often forget the values behind these extreme positions aren’t new. More importantly, we must also remember why it’s vital to protect these cultural expressions.

    As a linguist, I see a clear connection between this proposal and one of the administration’s actions earlier this year, when Trump signed an executive order designating English as the country’s sole official language. This move reflected a deeply rooted monolingual ideology that has long influenced both the U.S. language policy and education systems.

    Trump’s English language order upends America’s long multilingual history

    Monolingual ideology

    Such language ideology reflects a belief in the superiority of monolingualism, a view that American linguist Rosina Lippi-Green links to the “myth of Standard American English.”

    This myth is grounded in the subordination by one dialect, believed to be of higher quality and status, over other languages and dialects. According to Lippi-Green, the enforcement of this ideology follows a systematic process: language is mystified, authority is claimed and a series of negative consequences ensue. Misinformation is generated, targeted languages are trivialized, non-conformers are vilified or marginalized and threats are made.

    Such authority and threats are recognizable in this most recent threat to make access to foreign films difficult. The issue is not just about the economic dimension of foreign-made films. It is also about the perceived threat posed by the presence and influence of other languages. At its core, this reflects a fear or rejection of linguistic diversity.

    In the film industry, this monolingual ideology is closely tied to glottophobic attitudes, also referred to by some scholars as linguicism. These terms define the misrepresentation and negative stereotyping of speakers of languages other than English.

    Hollywood, in particular, has a long history of portraying foreign or heritage languages in stereotypical and often derogatory ways. Consider, for instance, the German-speaking characters in Second World War films, or more recent depictions of Arabic, Mexican Spanish or Russian speakers.

    These portrayals illustrate a tendency to depict other languages as menacing — a point that was also made in the American president’s claim that foreign films pose a “threat” because they constitute “messaging and propaganda.”

    Linguistic stereotyping

    It’s not just characters who speak other languages who have been misrepresented in American films. Those who speak English as a second language — that is with an accent or with a syntax that is marked by their first language — were often played by white actors and subject to similar derogatory stereotypes.

    Linguists have identified patterns in these linguistic representations, referring to them as Injun English, Mock Spanish or yellow voices, among others.

    Lippi-Green has famously argued that such linguistic depictions are ways to reinforce standard language ideologies through linguistic stereotyping in media, including popular Disney cartoons. They effectively teach American children how to discriminate.

    In my work, I examined French-accented English to demonstrate that these representations reflect broader cultural anxieties. Ultimately, this rhetoric reveals more about the U.S. relationship with linguistic diversity than it does about the communities being portrayed.

    Trump has made reference to “any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.” But it remains unclear how such measures would impact streaming platforms and the diverse range of films they currently offer.

    Hollywood has come a long way since the heydays of linguicism, gradually embracing a more inclusive and multilingual cinematic landscape. Today, films that present a more diverse linguistic landscape are increasingly common. And audiences are accustomed to having access to a wide selection of international content.

    The global success of the French series Call My Agent is just one example. Among others are popular French spy thrillers and romances, Swedish thrillers, Japanese anime and Korean dystopian series.

    The pleasure of watching foreign films

    For years, foreign language films have been recognized as an invaluable resource for language learning. This fact is supported by language learning apps that increasingly recommend users to view TV programs or movies to support learning. Movies and TV provide access to a variety of dialects as well as authentic forms of language.

    As a professor of French media and linguistics, I often use films to teach students about French language and culture. But beyond their educational benefits, foreign-language films offer unique esthetic and emotional pleasures.

    A press image for the show Call My Agent.
    Netflix

    Watching a film is to engage with sound and image. The language itself enhances the immersive experience, contributing to the authenticity of the storytelling. For example, one of my students told me he enjoys turning on closed captions in French. These are also known as SDH: Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing. He does this not just for the dialogue but because they capture the full cinematic experience, including the naming of sounds.

    Restricting access to these cultural products would trap viewers in an ideological echo chamber, where only one language is heard and validated.

    Fictional representations play a powerful role in shaping and reinforcing real-world attitudes. Monolingual representations potentially foster linguistic discrimination and intolerance toward any word uttered with an accent or in another language. In short, such restrictions could pave the way for a partial and stunted society.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Pacific voyagers’ remarkable environmental knowledge allowed for long-distance navigation without Western technology

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Richard (Rick) Feinberg, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Kent State University

    Wet and shivering, I rose from the outrigger of a Polynesian voyaging canoe. We’d been at sea all afternoon and most of the night. I’d hoped to get a little rest, but rain, wind and an absence of flat space made sleep impossible. My companions didn’t even try.

    It was May 1972, and I was three months into doctoral research on one of the world’s most remote islands. Anuta is the easternmost populated outpost in the Solomon Islands. It is a half-mile in diameter, 75 miles (120 kilometers) from its nearest inhabited neighbor, and remains one of the few communities where inter-island travel in outrigger canoes is regularly practiced.

    A documentary team made a recent visit to Anuta.

    My hosts organized a bird-hunting expedition to Patutaka, an uninhabited monolith 30 miles away, and invited me to join the team.

    We spent 20 hours en route to our destination, followed by two days there, and sailed back with a 20-knot tail wind. That adventure led to decades of anthropological research on how Pacific Islanders traverse the open sea aboard small craft, without “modern” instruments, and safely arrive at their intended destinations.

    Wayfinding techniques vary, depending upon geographic and environmental conditions. Many, however, are widespread. They include mental mapping of the islands in the sailors’ navigational universe and the location of potential destinations in relation to the movement of stars, ocean currents, winds and waves.

    Western interest in Pacific voyaging

    Disney’s two “Moana” movies have shined a recent spotlight on Polynesian voyaging. European admiration for Pacific mariners, however, dates back centuries.

    In 1768, the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville named Sāmoa the “Navigators’ Islands.” The famed British sea captain James Cook reported that Indigenous canoes were as fast and agile as his ships. He welcomed Tupaia, a navigational expert from Ra‘iātea, onto his ship and documented Tupaia’s immense geographic knowledge.

    European explorers were impressed by the navigational skills of the people they encountered in the Pacific islands.

    In 1938, Māori scholar Te Rangi Hīroa (aka Sir Peter Buck) authored “Vikings of the Sunrise,” outlining Pacific exploration as portrayed in Polynesian legend.

    In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl, a Norwegian explorer and amateur archaeologist, crossed from Peru to the Tuamotu Islands aboard a balsa wood raft that he named Kon-Tiki, sparking further interest and inspiring a sequence of experimental voyages.

    Ten years later Andrew Sharp, a New Zealand-based historian and prominent naysayer, argued that accurate navigation over thousands of miles without instruments is impossible. Others responded with ethnographic studies showing that such voyages were both historic fact and current practice. In 1970, Thomas Gladwin published his findings on the Micronesian island of Polowat in “East Is a Big Bird.” Two years later, David Lewis’ “We, the Navigators” documented wayfinding techniques across much of Oceania.

    Many anthropologists, along with Indigenous mariners, have built on Gladwin’s and Lewis’ work.

    A final strand has been experimental voyaging. Most celebrated is the work of the Polynesian Voyaging Society. They constructed a double-hull voyaging canoe named Hōkūle‘a, built from modern materials but following a traditional design. In 1976, led by Micronesian navigator Mau Piailug, they sailed Hōkūle‘a over 2,500 miles, from Hawai‘i to Tahiti, without instruments. In 2017, Hōkūle‘a completed a circumnavigation of the planet.

    In traversing Earth’s largest ocean, one can travel thousands of miles and see nothing but sky and water in any direction. Absent a magnetic compass, much less GPS, how is it possible to navigate accurately to the intended destination?

    Looking to the stars

    Most Pacific voyagers rely on celestial navigation. Stars rise in the east, set in the west, and, near the equator, follow a set line of latitude. If a known star either rises or sets directly over the target island, the helmsman can align the vessel with that star.

    However, there are complications.

    Which stars are visible, as well as their rising and setting points, changes throughout the year. Therefore, navigation requires detailed astronomical understanding.

    Also, stars are constantly in motion. One that is positioned directly over the target island will soon either rise too high to be useful or sink below the horizon. Thus, a navigator must seek other stars that follow a similar trajectory and track them as long as they are visible and low on the horizon. Such a sequence of guide stars is often called a “star path.”

    Of course, stars may not align precisely with the desired target. In that case, instead of aiming directly toward the guide star, the navigator keeps it at an appropriate angle.

    A navigator must modify the vessel’s alignment with the stars to compensate for currents and wind that may push the canoe sideways. This movement is called leeway. Therefore, celestial navigation requires knowledge of the currents’ presence, speed, strength and direction, as well as being able to judge winds’ strength, direction and effect on the canoe.

    During daylight, when stars are invisible, the Sun may serve a similar purpose. In early morning and late afternoon, when the Sun is low in the sky, sailors use it to calculate their heading. Clouds, however, sometimes obscure both Sun and stars, in which case voyagers rely on other cues.

    Navigating requires deep understanding of waves, in the form of both swells and seas.

    Waves, wind and other indicators

    A critical indicator is swells. These are waves produced by winds that blow steadily across thousands of miles of open sea. They maintain their direction regardless of temporary or local winds, which produce differently shaped waves called “seas.”

    The helmsman, feeling swells beneath the vessel, gleans the proper heading, even in the dark. In some locations, as many as three or four distinct swell patterns may exist; voyagers distinguish them by size, shape, strength and direction in relation to prevailing winds.

    Once sailors near their target island, but before it is visible, they must determine its precise location. A common indicator is reflected waves: swells that hit the island and bounce back to sea. The navigator feels reflected waves and sails toward them. Pacific navigators who have spent their lives at sea appear quite confident in their reliance on reflected waves. I, by contrast, find them difficult to differentiate from waves produced directly by the wind.

    Birds headed for home at the end of the day provide a clue about where land lies.

    Certain birds that nest on land and fish at sea are also helpful. In early morning, one assumes they’re flying from the island; in late afternoon, they’re likely returning to their nesting spots.

    Navigators sometimes recognize a greenish tint to the sky above a not-yet-visible island. Clouds may gather over a volcanic peak.

    And sailors in the Solomon Islands’ Vaeakau-Taumako region report underwater streaks of light known as te lapa, which they say point toward distant islands. One well-known researcher has expressed confidence in te lapa’s existence and utility. Some scholars have suggested that it could be a bioluminescent or electromagnetic phenomenon. On the other hand, despite a year of concerted effort, I was unable to confirm its presence.

    Estimating one’s position at sea is another challenge. Stars move along a given parallel and indicate one’s latitude. To gauge longitude, by contrast, requires dead reckoning. Navigators calculate their position by keeping track of their starting point, direction, speed and time at sea.

    Some Micronesian navigators estimate their progress through a system known as etak. They visualize the angle between their canoe, pictured as stationary, and a reference island that is off to one side and represented as moving. Western researchers have speculated on how etak works, but there is no consensus yet.

    For millennia, Pacific voyagers have relied on techniques such as these to reach thousands of islands, strewn throughout our planet’s largest ocean. They did so without Western instruments. Instead, they held sophisticated knowledge and shared understandings, passed by word of mouth, through countless generations.

    Richard (Rick) Feinberg has, in the past, received research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute for Mental Health, and Kent State University. He is a member of the American Anthropological Association, the Association of Senior Anthropologists, and the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania. He has maintained connections with people of the islands on which he has conducted research.

  • MIL-OSI: Traliant launches groundbreaking TV-inspired Code of Conduct training and ethics report to help organizations bridge policy and practice

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Traliant, a leader in online compliance training, today unveiled a reimagined Code of Conduct training featuring The Code – a cinematic TV series that helps employees see how their organization’s Code connects to the choices they make every day. Alongside the training, Traliant also released its 2025 Code of Conduct Report, offering new insights on how employees perceive and navigate ethical situations in the workplace.

    Training that helps turn policy into practice
    Designed to make Code of Conduct training both engaging and effective, The Code delivers short, bingeworthy episodes that immerse employees in realistic ethical dilemmas – from conflicts of interest, accepting gifts and bribery risks to protecting confidential information and reporting misconduct. Paired with a companion podcast that unpacks the learning and shares additional “Code Confessions” scenarios, the experience challenges employees to reflect, relate and apply the lessons long after the course ends.

    “A Code of Conduct is only as effective as an employees’ ability to apply it,” said Mike Dahir, CEO of Traliant. “To reduce risk and foster a culture of ethics, organizations need more than awareness – they need to equip employees with the confidence to make the right call, especially in gray areas when the right course of action isn’t always clear. That’s exactly what our training is designed to do.”

    With a modular, customizable format, employers can select from a library of pre-recorded risk-based topics that matter most to their organization and even incorporate real stories from within the organization into podcast segments – creating a highly personalized training experience more relevant and aligned with company values.

    Insights from the 2025 Code of Conduct Report
    In tandem with the course launch, Traliant’s 2025 Code of Conduct Report surveyed over 1,000 US employees to explore how well they understand and act on ethical principles in the workplace. The findings highlight a troubling gap between awareness and action, with more than one-third of respondents (37%) reporting they were unsure how to proceed when faced with an ethical situation in the workplace.

    The report uncovers additional key findings pointing to why employers need to better align their Code of Conduct training with the everyday challenges employees face, including:

    • More than half (57%) of those surveyed observed behavior at work that seemed like a potential violation of their company’s Code of Conduct.
    • While 72% of Baby Boomers reported never encountering an ethical dilemma where they were unsure what to do, only 51% of Gen Z respondents shared that level of confidence.
    • 22% of respondents have been in a situation where they later realized or learned their actions may have violated the Code of Conduct. 
    • 54% of respondents said ethical decision-making at their company could be improved with clearer examples and scenarios in training that reflect everyday situations.

    “These survey findings reinforce why traditional, checkbox training falls short,” adds Dahir. “Organizations need modern, relatable training that helps employees understand what the Code looks like in action – and empowers them to act ethically when it matters most.”

    For more details on Traliant’s Code of Conduct training and report findings, go to www.traliant.com.

    Methodology 
    The independent market research firm Researchscape conducted the online survey in March 2025. Respondents included 1,032 US-employed adults working in hospitality, healthcare, retail, industrial/manufacturing, and in-office/professional settings in other industries with 100+ employees.

    About Traliant
    Traliant, a leader in compliance training, is on a mission to help make workplaces better, for everyone. Committed to a customer promise of “compliance you can trust, training you will love,” Traliant delivers continuously compliant online courses, backed by an unparalleled in-house legal team, with engaging, story-based training designed to create truly enjoyable learning experiences.
      
    Traliant supports over 14,000 organizations worldwide with a library of curated essential courses to broaden employee perspectives, achieve compliance and elevate workplace culture, including sexual harassment training, inclusion training, code of conduct training, and many more.  
      
    Backed by PSG, a leading growth equity firm, Traliant holds a coveted position on Inc.’s 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America for four consecutive years, along with numerous awards for its products and workplace culture.

  • MIL-OSI: Mezmo Disrupts Market by Reducing Observability Cost Structure by 90%

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mezmo, the modern observability company, today announced a simple, more predictable pricing structure for its intelligent telemetry orchestration platform. The new structure includes one component for processing and analyzing data and another for data retention: $0.20 per gigabyte ingested and $0.20 per gigabyte retained per month, respectively. That’s down from $1.80 per gig retained, delivering nearly 90% in savings. The company’s simple, transparent approach to pricing gives companies the freedom to scale without high, unpredictable costs.

    The move is a response to a compounding industry problem: Infrastructure and applications have created an explosion in data from cloud, microservices and AI, causing observability costs to skyrocket. Most vendors charge premium prices — calculated in complex formulas — to process and analyze telemetry data, even as global data volumes are projected to more than double by 2028. As a result, companies are forced to keep everything, driving up observability costs with bloated, unpredictable bills.

    Mezmo took a different approach, restructuring and modernizing its backend to compress infrastructure costs while continuously enhancing its pipeline processing and data orchestration capabilities to enable greater efficiency and pass those savings directly to customers. The company saw more than a 90% reduction in infrastructure and resources and a 70% reduction in operational applications. The result? Mezmo completely transformed its approach to pricing, significantly reducing customer costs and simplifying the structure to correlate cost with value.

    “We tackled the rising costs of observability head-on by taking a holistic look at how organizations process, analyze and store telemetry data,” said Tucker Callaway, CEO of Mezmo. “The result is a more sustainable, scalable and valuable model for observability data.”

    Key benefits of Mezmo’s 2025 pricing:

    • Simple, transparent pricing for contract customers. $0.20 per gigabyte ingested, and $0.20 per gigabyte retained monthly. No confusing formulas based on CPU, data type, user count or queries.
    • Built-in cost control. Teams can decide what data to ingest, preprocess it locally with Mezmo Edge, or send it directly to Mezmo to intelligently filter and route, retaining only what matters, wherever they need it.
    • Cold storage with rehydration. Rehydration lets users archive data to reduce spend and restore it to Mezmo when needed for analysis or debugging, balancing cost with access.

    • Sprout announces its upcoming AI agent integration to resolve inquiries in seconds and free teams from repetitive tasks using a trained bot deployed across multiple channels.

    CHICAGO, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT), an industry-leading provider of cloud-based social media management software, today announced a set of new innovations to its Care by Sprout Social solution. Designed to help brands meet rising customer expectations, the new features empower teams to deliver more proactive, secure and insights-driven social care–elevating support from a reactive necessity to a strategic business driver. Sprout Social also announced an upcoming AI agent integration, which will further enhance the care experience for customers and drive even more efficiency and impact for brands.

    Social media has become central to product discovery and purchasing, which means brands must deliver fast, personalized social care across platforms or risk losing vital customer trust and business. In fact, 73% of consumers say they will buy from a competitor if a brand doesn’t reply to them on social. While reactive support is expected, the new innovations in Care by Sprout empower brands to deliver proactive care, turning positive interactions into business assets that build loyalty and attract new customers.

    “We’re entering a new era where social care is a key differentiator, influencing purchasing decisions and shaping brand loyalty,” said Scott Morris, Sprout Social’s Chief Marketing Officer. “These latest innovations give brands the tools to not only meet but exceed customer expectations, turning care into a powerful driver of business outcomes across the organization. As technology and expectations continue to accelerate, our focus remains on building an adaptable, powerful platform that keeps our customers ahead of the curve.”

    Key Innovations in Care by Sprout:

    • Harness the Power of AI: Sprout’s upcoming AI agent integration will quickly resolve routine care inquiries, allowing human agents to dedicate their time on more complex, meaningful tasks.
    • Automate for Efficiency: New bot channels, such as Instagram and WhatsApp, along with enhanced flexibility features like Queue Customizations, empower teams to engage customers across more platforms, streamline agent workflows, and allow brands to tailor social care programs to their specific needs.
    • Proactively Protect Your Brand: New governance and compliance capabilities enable brands to manage more complex social care cases within social—eliminating the need to deflect to traditional channels. With secure forms and data masking, customer data stays protected, while access controls and blocked word settings help teams maintain security and brand integrity.
    • Unlock Actionable Insights: New Cases API allows brands to easily connect social care data to broader datasets for more holistic insights, while features like goal time reporting help brands better understand their team operations and trends over time.

    “At ScottsMiracle-Gro, we’ve realized that social care isn’t just a support function but a strategic imperative that the success of our entire organization relies on,” said Sara Smith, Manager of Consumer Services at ScottsMiracle-Gro. “Sprout Social has helped us embrace this shift by providing an intuitive platform that brings our social and care teams together, enabling us to connect more effectively with our audiences and strengthen customer relationships. Social is now where critical engagement happens, and with Sprout, we’re navigating this new era of care as a united front that’s always ready to show up for our customers.”

    These enhancements further build on Sprout’s innovative care solution, which features AI capabilities, intuitive workflows and an industry-leading integration with Salesforce Service Cloud. The updates will be featured in today’s Breaking Ground, Sprout’s quarterly showcase of the company’s latest product updates and cutting-edge industry insights.

  • MIL-OSI: Primech Regains Compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Primech Holdings Limited (“Primech” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PMEC), an established technology-driven facility services provider in the public and private sectors operating mainly in Singapore, today announced that it has received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on May 13, 2025 informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. 

    Primech was previously notified by Nasdaq on May 14, 2024 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price rule because its ordinary share failed to meet the closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days. In order to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days. This requirement was met on May 12, 2025, the tenth consecutive trading day when the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary share was over $1.00. Therefore, Nasdaq considers the prior bid price deficiency matter now closed.

    “We are pleased to have regained compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards,” said Kin Wai Ho, CEO of Primech Holdings Limited. “This reflects the resilience of our business model and the unwavering dedication of our team. We remain focused on our growth initiatives to expand our market presence in the facility services sector, particularly our AI-powered cleaning technologies.”

  • MIL-OSI Global: Lady Gaga bomb plot: Thwarted plan lifts veil on the gamification of hate and gendered nature of online radicalization

    Source: The Conversation – Global Perspectives – By David Nemer, Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies, University of Virginia

    The more than 2 million people who attended Lady Gaga’s free concert on Copacabana Beach on May 3, 2025, had no idea of a plot that, if successful, would have turned the event into a tragedy fueled by hate. Just hours before a sea of admirers waved fans in sync with the singer during the event, the Rio de Janeiro Civil Police thwarted a planned attack involving Molotov cocktails and improvised bombs – and targeting the American singer’s LGBTQ following.

    Two people have since been arrested over the plot, which was organized by users of digital platforms such as Discord. The intent, authorities say, was radicalizing and recruiting teenagers to carry out the planned attack.

    Those responsible hoped to entice these young people into actions that would gain online notoriety.

    Although authorities were able to prevent the attack, the incident stands as a stark warning about the growth of hate networks among youth − and how platforms fuel the radicalization of teenagers, especially boys and young men.

    As experts in the anthropology of technology and information science, we see something deeply generational about this phenomenon. The recent Netflix series “Adolescence” broke viewership records by portraying an environment in which young people live in hyperconnected online spheres, absent of state oversight and parental supervision. In these spheres, bullying toxic masculinity permeates, and violence – often targeted at women and sexual minorities – is normalized.

    The show was set in the U.K., but it holds up a mirror to the world. Data from polling company Gallup reveals a growing ideological divide between young men and women in Gen Z across the globe. Too often, that divide, in which young men and boys are turning against progressive values, is being expressed through actions associated with the “manosphere,” such as misogyny and incel behavior.

    Platforms for hate

    In the United States, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30 percentage points more liberal than their male counterparts, according to Gallup’s surveys. In Germany, where a right-wing coalition recently won national elections and the extreme-right AfD party is rising in popularity at an alarming rate, the gap is also 30 points. In Poland, although the far-right left power at the end of 2023 after eight years, nearly half of men ages 18 to 21 support far-right parties − compared with just one-sixth of women in the same age range.

    This polarization is emerging just as online platforms such as Discord, TikTok and Reddit have become formative spaces of identity.

    Instead of promoting diversity, however, many of these platforms have been used as machines for producing and spreading hate. The 2021 study Mapping Discord’s Darkside, published in the journal New Media & Society, shows that despite marketing efforts to distance itself from the far right, Discord hosts thousands of servers associated with neo-Nazi, misogynistic, racist, transphobic and conspiratorial discourse. Researchers identified 2,741 such servers − with more than 850,000 active members.

    These networks end up functioning as recruitment hubs, where young people − especially boys − are lured in by edgy memes, promises of belonging and identity games based on excluding others. Discord’s structure, which prioritizes privacy and decentralization, has become fertile ground for the emergence of what scholar Adrienne Massanari calls “toxic technocultures.”

    Services such as Disboard − an informal search engine for Discord servers − are used to recruit teens into communities that glorify Nazism, encourage hatred toward women and people from the LGBTQ+ community, and even offer “services” for coordinated attacks on other servers. And this appears to be the case in the thwarted attack on the Lady Gaga concert.

    Presenting a challenge

    A significant factor in the success of these radicalizing environments is gamification − the use of gamelike elements such as challenges, rewards and leaderboards in nongame contexts. When applied to social networks and extremist forums, gamification turns engagement into competition and hate speech into a playful challenge.

    This practice makes the entrance into extremism more palatable for young, impressionable people by masking violence behind seemingly harmless mechanics. As noted in the European Commission’s 2021 report Gamification and Online Hate Speech, gamification has become a powerful tool for normalizing and spreading hate, particularly among young people seeking recognition and belonging.

    This process, known as “bottom-up gamification,” occurs when users create the rules, symbolic rewards and challenges. For example, by turning hate speech into “challenges” that involve humiliating women or people from the LGBTQ+ community online, the dehumanization of targets is presented in playful, viral ways.

    Turning hate into entertainment

    The investigation into the foiled attack on Lady Gaga’s Copacabana concert revealed exactly this mechanism: The attack was treated as a “collective challenge,” with youths recruited to build Molotov cocktails and explosive backpacks in order to gain notoriety on social media.

    The logic of gamification also creates a structure of “achievement” and “scoring” that fosters competition and reinforces radical ideology. As shown in the 2022 study by criminologists Suraj Lakhani and Susann Wiedlitzka, attacks such as the 2019 mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which 51 people were killed, were planned and executed with strong inspiration from gaming, including live broadcasts similar to “Let’s Play” sessions, in which people offer live commentary during walk-throughs of games, typically first-person shooting games, and viewer comments that treat the number of deaths as a “score.”

    More than 50 people were killed in the terrorist attack on Christchurch mosques in New Zealand on March 15, 2019.

    This aestheticization of violence serves as a bonding element among young men in digital spaces, especially those who already feel marginalized or frustrated and who find in these games of hate a sense of belonging and affirmation. In this way, gamification transforms hate into entertainment, strengthening ties in toxic communities and making it harder to recognize the behavior as extremism.

    Turning a generation off hate

    Society is, we believe, facing a dual challenge: the need for moderation of platforms and for support for measures preventing men and boys from being drawn into toxic digital spaces.

    The gender divide within Gen Z is no small matter, too. It reflects, in broad terms, a rift between a generation of young women who, empowered by #MeToo and other feminist movements, have embraced progressive causes, and a generation of men who, threatened by their perceived diminished power in this new environment, are being co-opted by far-right and misogynistic discourse in digital spaces.

    This gap has real consequences in personal relationships, in schools and for democracy at large. But it also reveals something that we believe must be stated clearly: Platform regulation is not just a technical issue. The future of a generation cannot be built on algorithms that reward hate and radicalization.

    Himax’s innovative and proprietary Dual-Edge Front-lit LCoS microdisplay sets a new industry benchmark with a volume of just 0.09 c.c., weighing less than 0.2 grams, yet capable of delivering 1 lumen of output and up to 350,000 nits of luminance, all while consuming no more than 250mW total power consumption. This ensures exceptional eye-level visibility across diverse lighting environments.

    Vuzix’ mass production waveguides elevate the optical experience with a slim 0.7 mm thickness, industry-leading lightweight, less than 5 grams, minimal discreet eye glow below 5%, and a 30-degree diagonal field of view (FOV). Fully customizable and integration-ready for next-generation AR devices, these waveguides support prescription lenses, offer both plastic-substrate and higher-refractive-index options, and are engineered for cost-effective large-scale deployment.

    “This demonstration showcases a commercially viable integration of Himax’s high-performance color LCoS microdisplay with Vuzix’ advanced waveguides, an industry-leading solution engineered for scale,” said Paul Travers, CEO of Vuzix. “Our waveguides are optically superior, customizable, and production-ready. Together, we’re helping accelerate the adoption of next-generation AR wearables.”

    “We are proud to work alongside Vuzix to bring this industry-ready solution to market,” said Simon Fan-Chiang, Senior Director at Himax. “Our latest LCoS innovation redefines what’s possible in size, brightness, and power efficiency paving the way for next generation AR devices. By pairing with Vuzix’ world-class waveguides, we are enabling AR devices that are immersive, comfortable and truly wearable.”

  • MIL-OSI: CIRA’s award-winning ‘What’s up with the internet?’ podcast returns for its third season to investigate the impact of online misinformation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    OTTAWA, Ontario, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, CIRA announces the premiere of the third season of its award-winning podcast, What’s up with the internet? centred around the rise of online misinformation. Returning fresh off a win for ‘Best Technology Series’ at the fifth annual Canadian Podcast Awards, this season of What’s up with the internet? is an eye-opening investigation to uncover the truth behind online lies.

    Across six episodes, season three of What’s up with the internet? reveals the sources behind online misinformation, how it spreads, along with deep insight into the harm it does. Host Takara Small also walks listeners through a fact-checking toolkit with guest Matthew Johnson, Director of Education for MediaSmarts, so that more Canadians can feel equipped with ways to identify fact from fiction and verify what they see online.

    This season features ongoing commentary and guest interviews from technology experts, media researchers and more. Guests for season three include journalist and business executive Sue Gardner, professor and author Timothy Caulfield, Michael Kropveld, Founder and Executive Director of Info-Cult/Info-Sect and more. Listeners can learn more at cira.ca/podcast and follow What’s up with the internet? on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    Executive quotes

    “Misinformation is easy to fall for because it often feels right and we’re all susceptible to it, regardless of intelligence or education. That’s one reason why this season of What’s up with the internet? is about more than just a deep dive into the origins of this phenomenon but what to look for, too. It’s about separating myth from truth and giving you what you need to know and sometimes what you didn’t even know you needed.” – Takara Small, host What’s up with the internet?

    “If you spend any time online, chances are you’ve been exposed to online misinformation. Canadians just emerged from an election where algorithm-driven misinformation was rampant. This season, our podcast explores how and why that is—and most importantly, what Canadians can do to protect themselves and their loved ones from falling for fake news.” – Spencer Callaghan, Director, Brand and Communications, CIRA.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: £10 million regeneration scheme set to breathe new life into St James Street

    Source: City of Derby

    A bold £10 million regeneration project has been unveiled, breathing new life into the heart of Derby city centre.

    Developer St James Street (Derby) Ltd, working in partnership with Derby City Council, has launched ambitious plans to restore, regenerate and revitalise more than a dozen properties on St James Street, one of the city’s most historically significant but underused areas.

    The developer acquired the properties from Clowes Developments in summer 2024, supported by Derby City Council and the Government’s Future High Streets Fund (FHSF).

    The properties comprise a mix of long-term vacant ground floor shops and extensive redundant upper floor spaces.

    Marc and Rebecca Brough, owners of the development company, recently acquired Allestree Hall from Derby City Council and are also founders of Cubo, the UK’s fastest growing high-end flex office company.

    St James Street has long been considered an ‘at risk’ street, with vacancy rates consistently exceeding 50%. However, with the opening of the city’s brand-new live entertainment venue, Vaillant Live, and the restored Derby Market Hall, the street is set to gain enhanced visibility and footfall.

    Beginning with the transformation of The Tramshed, a disused historic warehouse space, into Grade A office space, the scheme aims to completely overhaul ground-floor retail units and repurpose extensive, unused upper floors.

    A planning application is now ready to be submitted to create 29 apartments on the upper floors of the properties, stretching from The Strand to the end of St James Street, as well as new shopfronts on the vacant ground floor units.

    Future phases include plans to rejuvenate St James’s Yard and reinstate the pedestrian link from Sadler Gate through to St James Street.

    Rigby & Co acted on behalf of St James Street (Derby) Ltd to acquire the site from Clowes Developments.

    Commenting on the launch of the scheme, Marc Brough said:

    We opened the first Cubo flexible office space at the corner of St James Street in 2020 and it has saddened me to see how this once-thriving street has become so run down and neglected since then.

    As a company we are committed to breathing new life into these buildings – bringing long term vacant buildings back into economic use, driving higher footfall and vibrancy and creating a vibrant environment that will benefit businesses, residents and visitors.

    We could not have embarked on this journey without the unwavering support from Derby City Council and their extended team and partners who have played a key role in helping bring our vision to life through the Future High Streets Fund.

    Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, welcomed the news:

    We were thrilled to partner with St James Street (Derby) Ltd on this project to revitalise this key area of our city centre. The team have made rapid progress and we’re looking forward to seeing the first phase of the scheme come to life.

     Working closely with our partners, we’ve been able to make great progress in revitalising areas of our city centre. St James Street is a prime example of how, by collaborating with private sector partners, we can bring our vision for a vibrant city centre to life.

    Commercial property and regeneration specialists Rigby & Co acted for St James Street (Derby) Ltd in acquiring the properties from Clowes Developments.

    Russell Rigby, managing director of Rigby & Co added:

    This is a massive shot in the arm for Derby city centre – the scheme needs vision, pace, experience and a ‘can-do’ attitude to overcome a number of barriers which have previously held this street back from releasing its full potential.

    This ambitious scheme not only signals a new chapter for St James Street, but it also reinforces Derby’s commitment to transforming Derby city centre through innovation and partnership working.

    Standardized Performance and Fund details can be obtained by clicking the ETF Ticker in the table above or by visiting us at     www.yieldmaxetfs.com

    Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (833) 378-0717.

    Note: DIPS, FIAT, CRSH, YQQQ and WNTR are hereinafter referred to as the “Short ETFs.”

    Distributions are not guaranteed. The Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield are not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from period to period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant.

    Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions with respect to the underlying reference asset(s).

    1 All YieldMax™ ETFs shown in the table above (except YMAX, YMAG, FEAT, FIVY and ULTY) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%. YMAX, FEAT have a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a gross expense ratio of 1.28%. YMAG has a management fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.83% for a gross expense ratio of 1.12%. FIVY has a Management Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.59% for a gross expense ratio of 0.88%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax™ ETFs. ULTY has a gross expense ratio of 1.40%, and a net expense ratio after the fee waiver of 1.30%. The Advisor has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.10% through at least February 28, 2026.
    2 The Distribution Rate shown is as of close on May 13, 2025. The Distribution Rate is the annual distribution rate an investor would receive if the most recent distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing an ETF’s Distribution per Share and dividing such annualized amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions may also include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These Distribution Rates may be caused by unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.
    3 The 30-Day SEC Yield represents net investment income, which excludes option income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period ended April 31, 2025, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period.
    4 Each ETF’s strategy (except those of the Short ETFs) will cap potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF. Each Short ETF’s strategy will cap potential gains if its reference asset decreases in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the reference asset increases in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by income received by the ETF.
    5 ROC refers to Return of Capital. The ROC percentage is the portion of the distribution that represents an investor’s original investment.
       

    Each Fund has a limited operating history and while each Fund’s objective is to provide current income, there is no guarantee the Fund will make a distribution. Distributions are likely to vary greatly in amount.

    Important Information

    This material must be preceded or accompanied by the prospectus. For all prospectuses, click here.

    Tidal Financial Group is the adviser for all YieldMax™ ETFs.

    THE FUND, TRUST, AND ADVISER ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY UNDERLYING REFERENCE ASSET.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable to all YieldMax ETFs referenced above, except the Short ETFs)

    YMAX, YMAG, FEAT and FIVY generally invest in other YieldMax™ ETFs. As such, these two Funds are subject to the risks listed in this section, which apply to all the YieldMax™ ETFs they may hold from time to time.

    Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

    Referenced Index Risk. The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index (or the Index ETFs). This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of companies that comprised the Index or an ETF that tracks the Index, even though it does not.

    Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way. Investors in the Fund will not have the right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the companies that comprise the Index but will be subject to declines in the performance of the Index.

    Russell 2000 Index Risks. The Index, which consists of small-cap U.S. companies, is particularly susceptible to economic changes, as these firms often have less financial resilience than larger companies. Market volatility can disproportionately affect these smaller businesses, leading to significant price swings. Additionally, these companies are often more exposed to specific industry risks and have less diverse revenue streams. They can also be more vulnerable to changes in domestic regulatory or policy environments.

    Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over longer periods.

    Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

    Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

    Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

    Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

    High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses.

    Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

    Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of call option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in increases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Call Period.

    Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an individual security (ARKK, TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, NFLX, COIN, MSFT, DIS, XOM, JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR, Bitcoin ETP, GDX®, SNOW, ABNB, BABA, TSM, SMCI, PLTR, MARA, CVNA, HOOD), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole.

    Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

    Indirect Investment Risk. The Index is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GPTY)

    Artificial Intelligence Risk. Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory, and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an artificial intelligence company.

    Technology Sector Risk. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the information technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

    Risk Disclosure (applicable only to MARO)

    Digital Assets Risk: The Fund does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. The Fund does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund. Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to BABO and TSMY)

    Currency Risk: Indirect exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

    Depositary Receipts Risk: The securities underlying BABO and TSMY are American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Investment in ADRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.

    Foreign Market and Trading Risk: The trading markets for many foreign securities are not as active as U.S. markets and may have less governmental regulation and oversight.

    Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in securities of U.S. issuers, such as risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability, as well as varying regulatory requirements applicable to investments in non-U.S. issuers. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to different regulatory, accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to GDXY)

    Risk of Investing in Foreign Securities. The Fund is exposed indirectly to the securities of foreign issuers selected by GDX®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities.

    Risk of Investing in Gold and Silver Mining Companies. The Fund is exposed indirectly to gold and silver mining companies selected by GDX®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with such companies.

    The Fund invests in options contracts based on the value of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX®), which subjects the Fund to some of the same risks as if it owned GDX®, as well as the risks associated with Canadian, Australian and Emerging Market Issuers, and Small-and Medium-Capitalization companies.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YBIT)

    YBIT does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest directly in derivatives that track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than YBIT.

    Bitcoin Investment Risk: The Fund’s indirect investment in Bitcoin, through holdings in one or more Underlying ETPs, exposes it to the unique risks of this emerging innovation. Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, and its market is influenced by the changing Bitcoin network, fluctuating acceptance levels, and unpredictable usage trends.

    Digital Assets Risk: Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any central authority or government backing and are subject to regulatory changes and extreme price volatility. Potentially No 1940 Act Protections. As of the date of this Prospectus, there is only a single eligible Underlying ETP, and it is an investment company subject to the 1940 Act.

    Bitcoin ETP Risk: The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Bitcoin ETP. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of the Bitcoin ETP, even though it does not. Bitcoin ETPs are subject, but not limited, to significant risk and heightened volatility. An investor in a Bitcoin ETP may lose their entire investment. Bitcoin ETPs are not suitable for all investors. In addition, not all Bitcoin ETPs are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Those Bitcoin ETPs that are not registered under such statute are therefore not subject to the same regulations as exchange traded products that are so registered.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to the Short ETFs)

    Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

    Price Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the underlying reference asset. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the underlying reference asset, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, the Fund is subject to the risk that the value of the underlying reference asset increases. If the value of the underlying reference asset increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses.

    Put Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency (i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s put writing (selling) strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in decreases in the value of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold put options and over longer periods.

    Purchased OTM Call Options Risk. The Fund’s strategy is subject to potential losses if the underlying reference asset increases in value, which may not be offset by the purchase of out-of-the-money (OTM) call options. The Fund purchases OTM calls to seek to manage (cap) the Fund’s potential losses from the Fund’s short exposure to the underlying reference asset if it appreciates significantly in value. However, the OTM call options will cap the Fund’s losses only to the extent that the value of the underlying reference asset increases to a level that is at or above the strike level of the purchased OTM call options. Any increase in the value of the underlying reference asset to a level that is below the strike level of the purchased OTM call options will result in a corresponding loss for the Fund. For example, if the OTM call options have a strike level that is approximately 100% above the then-current value of the underlying reference asset at the time of the call option purchase, and the value of the underlying reference asset increases by at least 100% during the term of the purchased OTM call options, the Fund will lose all its value. Since the Fund bears the costs of purchasing the OTM calls, such costs will decrease the Fund’s value and/or any income otherwise generated by the Fund’s investment strategy.

    Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members.

    Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.

    Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying reference asset, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.

    Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given period. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

    High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings.

    Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil.

    Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Price Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in decreases in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Put Period.

    Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the market generally. The value of the Fund, for any Fund that focuses on an individual security (e.g., TSLA, COIN, NVDA, MSTR), may be more volatile than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to CHPY)

    Semiconductor Industry Risk. Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies’ supply chain and operations are dependent on the availability of materials that meet exacting standards and the use of third parties to provide components and services.

    The products of semiconductor companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Capital equipment expenditures could be substantial, and equipment generally suffers from rapid obsolescence. Companies in the semiconductor industry are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights would adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

    Risk Disclosures (applicable only to YQQQ)

    Index Overview. The Nasdaq 100 Index is a benchmark index that includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, based on market capitalization.

    Index Level Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call and put option contracts that are based on the Index level. This strategy subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it shorted the Index, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s indirect inverse exposure to changes in the Index level, the Fund is subject to the risk that the Index level increases. If the Index level increases, the Fund will likely lose value and, as a result, the Fund may suffer significant losses. The Fund may also be subject to the following risks: innovation and technological advancement; strong market presence of Index constituent companies; adaptability to global market trends; and resilience and recovery potential.

    Index Level Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which limits the degree to which the Fund will benefit from decreases in the Index level experienced over the Put Period. This means that if the Index level experiences a decrease in value below the strike level of the sold put options during a Put Period, the Fund will likely not experience that increase to the same extent and any Fund gains may significantly differ from the level of the Index losses over the Put Period. Additionally, because the Fund is limited in the degree to which it will participate in decreases in value experienced by the Index level over each Put Period, but has significant negative exposure to any increases in value experienced by the Index level over the Put Period, the NAV of the Fund may decrease over any given period. The Fund’s NAV is dependent on the value of each options portfolio, which is based principally upon the inverse of the performance of the Index level. The Fund’s ability to benefit from the Index level decreases will depend on prevailing market conditions, especially market volatility, at the time the Fund enters into the sold put option contracts and will vary from Put Period to Put Period. The value of the options contracts is affected by changes in the value and dividend rates of component companies that comprise the Index, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the Index and the remaining time to the options’ expiration, as well as trading conditions in the options market. As the Index level changes and time moves towards the expiration of each Put Period, the value of the options contracts, and therefore the Fund’s NAV, will change. However, it is not expected for the Fund’s NAV to directly inversely correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns of the Index level. The amount of time remaining until the options contract’s expiration date affects the impact that the value of the options contracts has on the Fund’s NAV, which may not be in full effect until the expiration date of the Fund’s options contracts. Therefore, while changes in the Index level will result in changes to the Fund’s NAV, the Fund generally anticipates that the rate of change in the Fund’s NAV will be different than the inverse of the changes experienced by the Index level.

  • MIL-OSI: LeddarTech Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    QUEBEC CITY, Canada, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LeddarTech® Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LDTC), an AI-powered software company recognized for its innovation in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD), today provided a corporate update and announced financial results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    “We are executing our strategic plan to commercialize LeddarVision™ while we work to address our previously disclosed liquidity challenges. We are also excited to introduce an additional revenue stream, LeddarSim™—a next-generation simulation platform designed to close the gap between virtual testing and real-world deployment of ADAS and AD solutions. LeddarSim will play a critical role in training AI models to accelerate the deployment of ADAS and autonomous driving technologies,” said Frantz Saintellemy, President and CEO of LeddarTech. “In parallel, we are advancing production planning for our first OEM design win, and we are poised to leverage this success to secure additional contracts as the value of our platform becomes increasingly evident to automotive manufacturers.”

    Recent Business and Technology Highlights

    • Launched LeddarSim, a next-generation simulation platform designed to close the gap between virtual testing and real-world deployment.
    • Progressed OEM Design Win Toward Production: LeddarTech is actively providing engineering services to integrate its software platform into the 2028 model year vehicles of one of the world’s leading commercial vehicle OEMs. This design win is expected to generate non-recurring services revenue in fiscal year 2025.

    Customer Traction and Development

    LeddarTech has a robust pipeline of more than 30 active opportunities with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as well as Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers, aimed at meeting growing consumer demand for enhanced safety features and addressing upcoming regulatory deadlines.

    Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights1

    Revenue: Revenue for the fiscal second quarter of 2025, ending March 31, 2025, was $238,914, compared to $122,101 in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024.

    Net loss: Net loss for the fiscal second quarter of 2025, ending March 31, 2025, was ($16.0) million, or ($0.42) per share, compared to a net loss of ($17.2) million, or ($0.60) per share, in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024. The decreased net loss was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and financing expenses, offset by higher R&D expense as we are no longer capitalizing R&D expense.

    EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA2: EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2025, ending March 31, 2025, was ($8.4) million, compared to a ($14.0) million loss in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024. The lower loss was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation and financing-related expenses, partially offset by higher R&D expense as we are no longer capitalizing a substantial portion of our R&D expenses as we were in the prior period. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter of 2025, ending March 31, 2025, was ($12.0) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of ($8.7) million in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024. The higher loss was primarily attributable to higher R&D expense as we are no longer capitalizing a substantial portion of our R&D expense.

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity3

    As of March 31, 2025, LeddarTech had a cash balance of approximately $9.2 million, which cash balance had declined to approximately $4.1 million as of May 8, 2025. Pursuant to the amended and restated financing offer dated as of April 5, 2023 with Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec (“Desjardins” and the financing offer, as amended, the “Desjardins Credit Facility”), the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $1.8 million at all times after April 1, 2025. If we are not able to raise additional capital in the next several days, we will be in default under this minimum cash covenant. Moreover, we are obligated to complete an equity financing pursuant to which we must raise an additional US$9.7 million in equity investments prior to May 23, 2025 in order to satisfy the requirement that we raise at least US$35.0 million in equity investments prior to that date. We are also required to produce a plan at the satisfaction of our lenders regarding a refinancing, recapitalization or any suitable transaction no later than May 16, 2025. Toward that end, we have engaged a financial advisor to do a comprehensive review of the options that are available to the Company. We are currently exploring all alternatives to secure the financing necessary to comply with the covenants in our debt arrangements and to continue to pursue our strategic goals. Failure to complete the equity financing by May 23, 2025 or to produce a plan for our lenders by May 16, 2025 constitute liquidity events that could trigger a requirement for us to repay all amounts under our Desjardins Credit Facility, under our bridge financing offer dated as of August 16, 2024 with the initial bridge lenders and certain members of management and the board of directors (collectively, the “Bridge Lenders”, and the financing offer, the “Bridge Facility”), and other indebtedness. At this time, we are not expecting to be able to complete the equity financing or to produce a plan that would be acceptable to all our lenders. Desjardins has expressed an unwillingness to provide additional financing to the Company, but has expressed a willingness to work toward a solution, and LeddarTech is currently engaged with Desjardins and the Bridge Lenders with respect to a potential solution that could result in additional financing for the Company as well as relief from the above-described minimum cash, equity financing and process plan covenants. While LeddarTech is seeking additional financing, we continue to consider all possible cost reduction measures. There is no assurance that such measures could be done successfully, or at all. In such circumstances, LeddarTech’s ability to continue as a going concern would be materially and adversely affected and investors in LeddarTech’s Common Shares could lose all or a substantial part of their investment. For more details, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof.

    Non-IFRS Financial Measures

    A non-IFRS financial measure is a financial measure used to depict our historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow and, with respect to its composition, either excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in Company’s consolidated primary financial statements.

    In Q2-2024, the Company started to use two new non-IFRS financial measures because we believe these non-IFRS financial measures are reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with an understanding of management’s perspective on and analysis of our performance.

    Below are descriptions of the non-IFRS financial measures that we use to explain our results and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.

    EBITDA (loss) is calculated as net earnings (loss) before interest expenses (income), deferred income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, depreciation of right-of-use assets and amortization of intangible assets.

    EBITDA (loss) should not be considered an alternative to net loss in measuring performance or used as a measure of cash flow.

    Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is calculated as EBITDA (loss), adjusted for foreign exchange gain (loss), loss (gain) on revaluation of financial instruments carried at fair value, gain or loss on lease modification, share‐based compensation, listing expense, transaction costs, restructuring costs and impairment loss on intangible assets.

  • MIL-OSI: PussFi Launches $PUSS: Turning Memes into Real-Utility Tokens!

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PussFi has officially launched $PUSS, the first-ever meme-tility token (a meme coin with real-world utility), on Steemit, a decentralized social media platform. Built on the Tron blockchain, $PUSS combines community culture with tangible functionality inside a growing Web3 ecosystem.

    Rewarding Creativity
    Unlike traditional meme coins that rely heavily on hype and speculation, $PUSS aims to serve as the foundation of the PussFi ecosystem, delivering a comprehensive set of utilities for content creators, token holders, and crypto enthusiasts.

    By integrating directly with Steemit, $PUSS looks to empower users to not only engage with decentralized social media but to earn from their content and participation. The project aims to create a digital environment where creativity is rewarded and the meme economy evolves into a sustainable value-driven space.

    What Can $PUSS Be Used For?
    Central to the PussFi ecosystem is the use of $PUSS for key utilities such as account creation through Steemit-ID, a service enabling users in restricted regions to access Steemit.

    The token also facilitates ABB-Curation, a program that enhances Steemit blogging rewards through $PUSS delegation, and PUSSTEEM, a feature allowing token holders to exchange $PUSS for visibility-increasing upvotes on Steemit. Finally, users can also stake their tokens and earn up to 20% APY.

    The PussFi Blockchain
    In order to distinguish itself further from conventional meme coins, PussFi is undergoing a strategic rebranding of $PUSS into a full-fledged utility token. This transformation includes the development of the PussFi Blockchain, a blockchain inspired by Steem but designed for multi-sector decentralization.

    The new network will support a range of industries including content creation, education, healthcare, finance, and social networking, each operating within a modular, tokenized structure that empowers user engagement through smart contracts and community governance.

    Moreover, the PussFi Blockchain will retain the popular Proof-of-Brain (PoB) rewards model pioneered by Steem while introducing modern enhancements such as decentralized identity, token-based learning systems, privacy-first healthcare frameworks, embedded DeFi tools, and censorship-resistant social networking.

    Looking Ahead
    PussFi is developing several new projects designed to expand the token’s relevance and real-world use. These include blockchain-based games that reward players in $PUSS, a native decentralized blogging platform called Steemit.blog, and upcoming listings on centralized exchanges to improve liquidity and access.

    These developments are part of a broader strategy to build a robust Web3 ecosystem centered around long-term user value. PussFi remains focused on building a platform where community, creativity, and technology intersect meaningfully.

    About PussFi
    The team behind $PUSS and PussFi believes that users deserve more than entertainment, they deserve tools, incentives, and ownership in the platforms they support. This philosophy drives every layer of the PussFi vision, from token utility to blockchain architecture.

    PussFi invites early adopters, creators, and blockchain enthusiasts to join a growing movement that is redefining what meme tokens can be. According to the team, with $PUSS, users can expect real-world value, long-term opportunity, and a decentralized future built for everyone.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Trahan Demands Release of Federal Funds for LowelFolk Festival & Merrimack Repertory Theatre

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Lori Trahan (D-MA-03)

    LOWELL, MA – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) requested the immediate reversal of the National Endowment for the Arts’ (NEA) decision to revoke federal grant funding for the Lowell Festival Foundation, which organizes the Lowell Folk Festival, and the Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT).
    “Together, the Lowell Folk Festival and MRT represent the heart of the arts in the Third District. They showcase local musicians, actors, and artists while providing residents with meaningful opportunities to engage with culture and creativity. Their loss would be a profound setback for our community,” said Congresswoman Trahan.
    Last week, the NEA notified local arts and culture organizations across the nation that their federal grants had been withdrawn. The Lowell Folk Foundation and MRT were both impacted, losing $20,000 in federal grant funding each. In her letter sent to Mary Anne Carter, who currently serves as Senior Advisor and was recently nominated by President Donald Trump to fill the vacant Chair position, Trahan pointed to the importance of both the festival and the theatre to local residents, the art community, and the region’s economy.
    “The Lowell Folk Festival, organized by the Lowell Festival Foundation, is the longest-running and second largest free folk festival in the nation. For more than 40 years, with the exception of a pause during the COVID- 19 pandemic, it has been a cornerstone of the region’s cultural and economic vitality. Drawing over 150,000 attendees annually from across the country, the festival generates approximately $7 million in local economic activity each year, boosting patronage at restaurants, hotels, and institutions such as the Lowell National Historical Park,” Congresswoman Trahan wrote in the letter.
    “The Merrimack Repertory Theatre (MRT) is equally essential to the cultural fabric of the Merrimack Valley. Over the past four decades, MRT has served more than two million residents, producing seven plays annually – many of them original or world premieres. Beyond its artistic achievements, MRT is a champion for arts education, providing thousands of young people with access to theater, whether through discounted matinees or immersive youth productions with professional-level staging,” Congresswoman Trahan continued.
    Trahan has long been a supporter of both the festival and MRT. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she secured $416,949 for the Lowell Festival Foundation and $544,686 for MRT to ensure they were able to resume operations. The funding came from the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program, which was created when Trahan voted to pass the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, and supplemented later by the American Rescue Plan Act.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Two teenagers convicted of stabbing man to death in Lewisham

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    Two teenagers have been convicted of savagely stabbing a young man to death as he ran for his life following a dispute between feuding families.

    Ryan Wedderburn, 18 (29.05.06) of Windlass Place, Lewisham, and Kirk Harris, 19 (29.03.06) of Upper Brockley Road, Lewisham, were convicted on Tuesday, 13 May of the murder of 21-year-old Robert Robinson following a trial at the Old Bailey.

    They will all be sentenced at the same court on Thursday, 15 May.

    Detective Inspector Neil Tovey from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, who led the investigation, said: “I am pleased that we have today secured justice for the family and friends of Robert. He was stabbed to death in a brutal attack in a residential road when numerous families would have been home. Robert was a young man who had his whole life ahead of him, it was instead taken away by Wedderburn and Harris in a senseless attack. Robert tried to run for his life, but was chased down and viciously attacked.

    “This was a cowardly attack on Robert, who was outnumbered and unarmed. His family listened to the details of the attack and watched the CCTV of Robert’s last moments. They also heard the evidence from Wedderburn and Harris where they attempted to justify their actions. I am pleased that the jury agreed with the evidence we presented to the court to prove their guilt. I would like to pay tribute to the dignity that Robert’s family and friends have shown throughout the trial.”

    Police were called at about 22:35hrs on Thursday, 6 June 2024 to reports of a stabbing in Carteret Way, SE8. Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended but despite their best efforts the victim, later identified as Robert, sadly died at the scene.

    He had suffered 12 serious stab wounds, including injuries indicating he tried to defend himself from the attackers.

    The court heard that on 6 June 2024, Robert had been with some friends who lived near Wedderburn. Those friends and the Wedderburn family had been close friends until October 2022 when they had a falling out. Tensions had been brewing since that time, with it coming to a head on 6 June 2024.

    Earlier that day, one of Robert’s friends allegedly had his bike stolen by a man who was known to be friends with Wedderburn.

    The victim wanted to get his bike back, so the friends, Robert and a group went to Wedderburn’s house hoping they would find the bike and the person who stole it. There was no answer, so the group eventually left the address. Some of the group then allegedly damaged two cars belonging to the Wedderburn family.

    Shortly afterwards, Wedderburn and Harris left the property in Windlass Place armed with knives and walked to nearby Carteret Way, SE8.

    When the defendants arrived at the property in Carteret Way, one of the friends, their mother and Robert spotted them approaching with the knives and ran away. The friend’s mother was on the phone to 999 at the time, reporting the earlier theft of the bike and her son being threatened. Robert was chased and overpowered by Wedderburn and Harris who carried out a savage attack on him.

    Wedderburn and Harris then fled on foot and got into a waiting pre-arranged taxi, which was booked by a friend who was acquitted by the jury of perverting the course of justice.

    Officers quickly arrived and Wedderburn was named by witnesses as being one of those involved. A 44-year-old man was arrested near the scene shortly afterwards on suspicion of murder. He was acquitted by the jury.

    Knowing they were wanted, Harris and Wedderburn handed themselves into the police on 17 June and 19 June 2024 respectively.

    Detectives tirelessly scoured CCTV from the area, which clearly showed not only the attack but the defendants being at the scene. The defendants were tracked from the scene and CCTV footage showed they had discarded clothing and weapons. This led to searches of the Thames which recovered clothing worn during the attack and some of the murder weapons.

    The defendants admitted their presence and all gave evidence in their defence attempting to justify their actions on the day. Both Wedderburn and Harris admitted to stabbing Robert with Wedderburn claiming self-defence and Harris claiming he did not intend to cause serious harm.

    However, CCTV captured Wedderburn and Harris arming themselves with knives and running along the corridor of the building before turning back and arranging for a cab to be booked, in which they later fled the scene.

    This evidence led to the defendants being charged and convicted as above.

    + An 18-year-old man is due to stand trial in January 2026 charged with Robert’s murder. A 23-year-old man is due to stand trial in October 2026, charged with perverting the course of justice.

  • MIL-OSI: DTEX Exposes North Korea’s Cybercrime Syndicate, Urges Rethink of Threat

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DTEX Systems, the trusted leader of insider risk management, has released a groundbreaking report exposing North Korea’s (DPRK) global cybercrime network – revealing a mafia-like operation fuelled by survival, not ideology. The report details a comprehensive blueprint of DPRK’s cyber hierarchy, a covert talent pipeline, and direct ties to the regime’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) program.

    For the first time, researchers link DPRK cyber operatives to sanctioned WMD efforts and warn of an escalating AI-enabled threat from Research Center 227, a cyber-physical warfare hub. The findings underscore the urgency of developing a new security paradigm for mitigating this type of threat.

    Going beyond traditional threat models, the report homes in on the underreported human drivers behind DPRK’s operations: in a state defined by scarcity, cybercrime offers operatives access to food, shelter, and healthcare. This survival-based incentive structure underpins the regime’s cyber expansion and complicates attribution efforts.

    “While traditional attribution models like numbered Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have served the community well, DPRK’s operations present a more complex picture – one that blends cybercrime, espionage, and geopolitical influence,” said Michael Barnhart, DTEX Principal i3 Insider Risk Investigator and lead author of the report.

    “This is less a typical state actor and more akin to a globally dispersed, mafia-style network, where motivations are driven not just by political power, but by a survival mentality rooted in deep economic hardship and familial obligations. Our goal is to expose the human and organizational factors critical to anticipating their next move.”

    World-leading cybersecurity expert Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant and now on DTEX’s Advisory Board, said the DPRK threat is bigger than many people realise.

    “Every business leader and security professional needs to recognize the risks of accommodating remote workers. To empower companies to trust their remote resources is paramount – especially with North Korea leveraging the opportunity to fund its weapons program,” Mandia said.

    “The threat of unintentionally hiring North Korean IT workers is larger than most people realize. It’s covert, it’s global, and it’s active right now – which is why industry and government need to work together to come up with solutions to counter the threat.”

    National security expert and former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, the Honorable Sue Gordon (also a member of DTEX’s Advisory Board) said the DPRK operates unlike any other nation state.

    “DPRK’s cyber operations challenge the traditional nation-state playbook – merging cryptocurrency theft, espionage, and nuclear ambition within a self-funded system driven by profit, loyalty, and survival,” Gordon said.

    “Recognizing it as a family-run mafia syndicate unblurs the lines between cybercrime and statecraft. This report pulls back the curtain on their inner workings and psychology, revealing how deeply embedded they already are within our workforce – providing the context needed to anticipate their next move.”

    Key findings from the report include:

    • DPRK Organizational Blueprint: For the first time, an unclassified organizational chart maps the structure, roles, and communication chains within the DPRK’s cyber ecosystem, providing a roadmap for more accurate attribution and proactive defense strategies.
    • Human Motivations Behind DPRK Cyber Operations: The report reveals that DPRK operatives are motivated not by ideology but by survival. In a country with limited resources, participation in cybercrime offers rare access to basic needs, fuelling persistence and loyalty among its workforce.
    • Decades-Long Cyber Talent Pipeline: The report traces North Korea’s investment in a scalable cyber education system that nurtures talent from childhood through college, continuously feeding technically trained operatives into Research Center 227 as well as other threat groups and offensive military units.
    • Early Warning Indicators for Embedded Threats: By connecting the full lifecycle of DPRK’s cyber workforce – from recruitment to deployment – this report offers behavioral and technical markers that can help organizations identify and remove DPRK operatives before significant damage occurs.
    • Evidence of Unit 227’s Coordinated Global Infiltration: The report reveals how DPRK’s elite Research Center 227 is infiltrating critical infrastructure worldwide, moving beyond espionage into sustained, embedded access within commercial and government systems.
    • Identification of Active DPRK Operatives: Two active DPRK IT operatives are identified, with detailed profiles, digital aliases, and a breakdown of their tradecraft, including image manipulation and credential fraud used to gain access to sensitive systems.
    • Direct Links to WMD Programs: The report identifies a North Korean academic institution funnelling resources and personnel to a sanctioned weapons program, with verified evidence that IT workers are being deployed to directly support WMD production.

    DTEX CEO Marshall Heilman emphasized that the speed and sophistication of DPRK-linked infiltration – amplified by AI – requires a unified defense response.

    “This report reflects the ongoing collaboration across the intelligence community, supported by DTEX, to better understand an evolving and increasingly complex threat landscape,” Heilman said.

    “North Korea is blending AI, cybercrime, and kinetic capabilities into a hybrid threat model that challenges conventional defense boundaries. This isn’t a forecast – it’s a call to action. Our goal is not to alarm, but to provide the foresight needed to address the growing sophistication of this global threat.”

    The report represents the culmination of research from a network of intelligence professionals and cybersecurity experts, with supporting investigative findings from DTEX. It provides a structured framework for security practitioners, policymakers, and risk leaders to anticipate DPRK’s next move and proactively defend against these increasingly complex and multifaceted threats.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sols 4539-4540: Back After a Productive Weekend Plan

    Source: NASA

    Written by Scott VanBommel, Planetary Scientist at Washington University
    Earth planning date: Monday, May 12, 2025
    Curiosity was back to work Monday, picking up where it left off from Friday’s plan. Tosol’s plan started with an APXS analysis on the target “Jeffrey Pine,” though the DRT was kept on the sidelines this time. Curiosity then proceeded to image Jeffrey Pine and “Canyon Oak” with MAHLI while simultaneously executing a DAN passive analysis. Mastcam documented “Santiago Peak” as well as Canyon Oak, prior to a ChemCam 5-spot analysis on the latter. Following a drive of about 30 meters (about 98 feet), Curiosity rounded out the two-sol plan with untargeted and environmental monitoring activities, including Navcam dust-devil and cloud-shadow movies.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sols 4536-4538: Dusty Martian Magnets

    Source: NASA

    Written by Remington Free, Operations Systems Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
    Earth planning date: Friday, May 9, 2025
    I was on downlink today for SA-SPaH, our robotic arm team. We successfully completed a number of fun arm activities, including a DRT brushing and APXS observations of a bedrock target, and also completed a traverse of about 25 meters (about 82 feet). Exciting!
    Today, our uplink team planned three sols of activities. On Sol 4536, we are using the arm to do some inspection imaging of the MAHLI magnet using Mastcam. This magnet allows us to determine whether or not the MAHLI cover has successfully opened or closed. These magnets accumulate a lot of Martian dust particles, so we periodically take imaging to inspect the quantity of dust and get a better understanding of the state of the hardware. I’ve included above an image of the MAHLI instrument, from our last inspection on Sol 4291. After the magnet inspection, we’ll do some more typical arm activities, which include some APXS placements, DRT brushing, and MAHLI imaging on targets of interest. 
    In this workspace, we are interested in targets characterizing the pale layered sulfate unit we’ve been driving on, as well as a target in the new ridge-forming unit. Beyond our arm activities, we’ll do additional science observations of the surface using Mastcam and ChemCam.  
    On Sol 4537, we’ll focus on driving! Prior to our drive, we’ll take some more scientific observations, including a Navcam cloud movie, Mastcam documentation of some geological units, and ChemCam LIBS on a ridge-forming unit. We have then planned a 21-meter drive (about 69 feet) to take us to a bedrock area of scientific interest. We’re excited because the terrain looks pretty benign, so we’re hoping it all goes smoothly!
    Post-drive, we’ll take some Mastcam survey imaging of clasts and soils along the traverse. Finally on Sol 4538, we’ll aim our focus upwards and take a number of observations of the sky. We’ll start with a Navcam large dust-devil survey, a Mastcam tau measurement of the atmospheric optical depth, and a ChemCam passive sky observation to study atmospheric composition. Early the following morning, we’ll take some additional Navcam observations of clouds, and complete another Mastcam tau measurement of optical depth.
