  • MIL-OSI USA: NYS Pays Off Unemployment Insurance Debt

    Source: US State of New York

    arlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul rallied with the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, AFL-CIO to announce New York State has paid off the nearly $7 billion federal Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund loan — a move that will bring the fund to solvency, increase benefits for unemployed New Yorkers and cut costs to businesses. The Governor announced this action back in May as part of the Fiscal Year 2026 Enacted Budget.

    VIDEO: The event is available to stream on YouTube here and TV quality video is available here (h.264, mp4).

    AUDIO: The Governor’s remarks are available in audio form here.

    PHOTOS: The Governor’s Flickr page has photos of the event here.

    A rush transcript of the Governor’s remarks is available below:

    Thank you, everyone. Is HTC in the house?

    […]

    Then I’m in the right place. So great to see a group of people who understands the power of leadership, and in Rich Maroko, you have the very best. He has been —

    […]

    We all love him. We love you, Richard. Great friend of ours.

    But also I am so fortunate to have partners that I trust and rely on to govern this state, and I want to tell you about Carl Heastie, the Speaker. I don’t think we had a single conversation for months where he didn’t raise the issue of like, “Governor, can we finally fix the unemployment insurance issue, then we get to everything else?” So he was dogged in his determination to make sure we got this done. I want to thank him. And Harry Bronson as well, our Assemblymember from Upstate New York. Anybody find Upstate New York on a map? It’s a great place. Okay. I know we have members up there as well, Harry, but Carl, thank you, thank you, thank you for being conscious.

    And Leader Steward-Cousins, making sure that the Senate was on board to drive this and get this over the finish line. These are the leaders that worked with me to say it is time we stood up for our workers. This is how we get it done. So thank you to them.

    Also, we have an extraordinary Commissioner of Labor who hearkens back to the legacy of Frances Perkins, who was so forward thinking when she was Commissioner of Labor for FDR when he was Governor. Did you know he was Governor first? Yeah, okay. Then he went to be President, he took her with him and they changed the course of history by lifting up people in the greatest time of need. And I want to thank Roberta Reardon for being our 2025 version of Frances Perkins.

    Alright. It’s time to just talk this time. Is this on? It is on. Alright.

    These are really tough times for our people. When we can do something like this, it sends a message that we care so deeply about every stress that people are going through, especially the high cost of living. It is oppressive. It is so discouraging because you work hard and many of you came from immigrant parents or grandparents or yourselves. You came here to live the American — in fact, I’ll say the New York Dream, and no matter how hard you’re working and you’re getting good wages because you have a great fighter — sometimes it just feels like we’re not getting ahead. No one counted on a pandemic to slam us down and to stop people from coming to our city, which is the bread and butter of this union. Remember those times. We tried to help you with resources at that time, and then when you think we’re out of the woods, now we’re going to be okay — this is New York — then inflation knocks us down. Everything you bought for your little kids taking care of your teenagers, your adult kids who needed your help, they sometimes didn’t even leave the basement, right? They couldn’t find a place to live, right? People have struggled, no fault of their own.

    So, I have declared for a long time that your family is my fight. I announced that with a whole set of reforms back as part of my State of the State. You know what we got done? Everything I wanted to do. It’s $5,000 back in families’ pockets and I want to thank our leaders once again because when I said we need a middle class tax cut the largest in seven years, they said yes. When I said we need an inflation rebate, putting $400 back in peoples’ pockets, they said yes. A Child Tax Credit — anybody with little kids? They’re pretty expensive, aren’t they? I mean, I’m New York’s first mom Governor. I know. And I’m a grandma too, so I know what it costs for families today. A $1,000 for families with a child under the age of four or $500 for older kids. And we’re going to pick up the cost of school lunches and breakfast. That adds up to $5,000 for New York families.

    So we have been laser focused on affordability and we’re just getting warmed up. We know we can do more. When I think about our union men and women now, we are the most unionized state in America. The most pro-union state in America? Yes, and I happen to come from the most unionized part of the most unionized State of New York, and that is Western New York. We got a Western New Yorker out there. Really? Where are you from? Alright. I’ll know you’re a real Western New York if you say, “Go Bills,” or — I’ll stop. I’ll stop. I know I’ll keep that for the season. Alright, let me get back on track. I am trying to unite Upstate and Downstate. There are three teams coupled, placed somewhere else, but okay, we’ll work on that.

    But it’s in my blood because grandpa was a very poor immigrant who lived in great poverty, worked as a migrant farm worker himself, came to Buffalo to make steel with his hands. My dad did the same, his brothers did the same. My next door workers worked at the GM plant. So it is in my blood to fight for working men and women. And when I know there’s something that happens periodically, because I’ve been on so many strike lines, then people need to strike for better wages and conditions — that first of all, to wait three weeks for those benefits to take effect. That’s a long hungry time for your family — long time. My dad was on strike when we were little kids at the steel plant. His parents tried to help him out. They struggled. I remember him telling me this. I didn’t know this story until much later in his life. So, families suffer when the parents are out there fighting for good wages and benefits. We can’t let that happen. It’s now three weeks down to two. We made that happen for you.

    But to think because there was this huge debt owed to our unemployment system, and I want to give — everybody give another round of applause to Roberta Reardon, who made sure the checks went out during the pandemic. We owed a lot of money and they said under the rules. You can’t raise that amount up from $504 a week. I said, “$504 a week. Who can live on that? Nobody. Nobody”. And I said, “Well, why aren’t we able to raise it?” Well, you have to pay down the debt. Alright, so we have these reserves, it’s going to be $7 billion that we shipped from here over here to pay it out. And that’s a lot of money. I worked hard and I said, “I’m saving that for a rainy day.” And all of a sudden I declared. It’s raining. It’s raining. It’s time to make sure that if people are on strike or unemployed, lose their job — $869 a week. That’s how we lift people up.

    And I’m going to continue because we have a long road ahead, but I’ll tell you, we’re all New Yorkers. There’s nobody tougher than us, right? We are strong, we’re resilient, and all these policies out of Washington are scarier than hell. Talk about the hotels losing business from the Canadians. It’s hard to blame them because they were insulted by our President, right? We’re trying to win them back. I was up in Elise Stefanik’s district Friday, meeting hotel owners up there and small businesses and people in the restaurants. They’re going to be starving because the Canadians used to come over. They’re our friends, they’re our neighbors. They used to spend weekends here in New York City staying at your hotels. And now they’re saying, we’re not coming. The President needs to reset that relationship now. Let them come back, fix that relationship now.

    And we’re on a high, we’re having a good time. This is New York. But if those bills that you hear about — the Big Ugly Bill that is being worked on by the Senate right now to give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires out of your pockets — that is going to be devastating for people on Medicaid and people who need the support for childcare. And SNAP benefits, my gosh, so many families rely on this. So, I’m excited about what we can do here in New York, but we must continue to be the firewall to stop the insanity in Washington. Say no matter what they do, we have your back here in the great State of New York. You can count on that.

    Thank you, everybody. Thank you.

    Headline: Microsoft Flight Simulator: City Update 11 spotlights US Northeast states

    Plymouth: The Mayflower Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, making it one of the most important historical sites in the United States. Called “America’s Hometown,” Plymouth is located 40 miles south of Boston and is the oldest settlement in New England.

    New Jersey

    Northeastern New Jersey: Cities include Newark, Hackensack, and Paterson, all of which are members of the greater New York metropolitan area. Newark, one of the oldest cities in the United States, is renowned for its contribution to the industrial development of the country and as a modern transportation hub. Hackensack is known for its historical importance during the American Revolution where George Washington established a headquarters. Paterson became a key location in the Industrial Revolution due to the energy supplied by the Great Falls of the Passaic River, around which the city was initially constructed.

    Central Jersey: This AOI focuses on cities in the eastern portion of Central Jersey, including Elizabeth, New Brunswick, and Edison. Elizabeth was the first capital of New Jersey and is one of the state’s oldest cities. New Brunswick played an important role in the American Revolution and is an important university center. Edison (originally called Raritan Township) was named after famed American inventor Thomas Edison who established his research laboratory in the area and created several important innovations, including the incandescent light bulb and the phonograph.

    New York

    Brooklyn: Located on the western end of Long Island, Brooklyn is the most populous of the five boroughs of New York City. It lies just south of the borough of Queens and is connected to the borough of Manhattan by one tunnel and three bridges that span the East River. Brooklyn offers some of the most stunning views in all of New York City, notably of the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River, and lower Manhattan.

    Manhattan: Manhattan is one of the most renowned urban centers in the world. The smallest borough by area of the five boroughs that compose New York City, Manhattan is often cited as the capital of several global industries, including finance, media, and entertainment. Known for its iconic architecture, Manhattan is home to the tallest building in both the United States and the Western Hemisphere, One World Trade Center (1,776 feet tall), and the second tallest in the Nation and the Western Hemisphere, Central Park Tower (1,550 feet tall).

    Long Island’s East End: One of the most beautiful areas in the northeastern United States, Long Island’s East End is renowned for its pastoral landscapes, historic villages, colonial architecture, and maritime vistas. The update includes Southampton, one of the core towns of the well-known Hamptons resort area, and Montauk, the easternmost point in New York State and home to the spectacular Montauk Point Lighthouse.

    Rhode Island

    The update’s Rhode Island AOI covers all major cities in the state, including Providence, Cranston, and Warwick. Providence, established in 1636, is the capital and most populous city in the state. Providence, along with the cities of Cranston and Warwick to its south, are located along the mouth of the Providence River at the northern extremity of Narragansett Bay, which opens to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Unveils Limited NO KYC,100x Leverage and 100% Deposit Bonus Match to Empower Crypto Futures Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin hovers near the $100,000 mark and market volatility intensifies, BexBack Exchange has announced a new limited-time promotional campaign designed to help traders maximize their potential returns. Starting today, all new users who deposit and complete one trade within seven days will receive a $50 USDT-M welcome bonus, along with a 100% deposit, match to double their trading capital. Combined with up to 100x leverage and zero KYC requirements, this promotion positions BexBack as a powerful entry point for both beginners and advanced futures traders navigating today’s unpredictable crypto landscape.

    Advantages of 100x Leverage Crypto Futures

    1. Amplified Profits: Control large positions with a small amount of capital, capturing more profits from market fluctuations.
    2. Low Capital Requirement: Participate in high-value trades with minimal investment, lowering the entry barrier.
    3. Increased Market Opportunities: Profit quickly from price fluctuations, especially in volatile markets.
    4. High Capital Efficiency: Leverage enables better use of your capital, expanding your investment potential.
    5. Profit from Both Up and Down Markets: Adapt to any market conditions, with opportunities to profit whether the market goes up or down.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $100,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $105,000, your profit will be (105,000 – 100,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

    About BexBack?

    Fortinet believes this recognition reflects the strength of its industry-leading secure LAN edge portfolio, including secure networking solutions such as FortiSwitch and FortiAP. The portfolio is fully integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric and powered by a single operating system, FortiOS, to deliver converged networking and security.

    “Unlike traditional networking solutions that bolt security on after the fact, the Fortinet wired and wireless LAN portfolio was developed from the ground up with built-in AI-powered security and AI-assisted network operations. This convergence enables customers to simplify operations, improve performance, and extend security from IT into OT environments. We believe this is what continues to set Fortinet apart and make us a leader in this market,” said Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions, at Fortinet.

    The Fortinet Secure LAN Edge portfolio addresses evolving customer needs and delivers key benefits, including:

    • Pervasive, built-in security at the LAN edge to reduce cyber risk: Customers can deploy intuitive architectures with integrated security and AI-assisted management via FortiAI. Fortinet’s simplified licensing model avoids the complexity of managing multiple add-on subscriptions.
    • Stronger IT and OT convergence through a unified platform: As organizations demand more of their networks while navigating staffing shortages and the cybersecurity skills gap, it becomes increasingly difficult for limited staff to maintain and secure their networks. Fortinet reduces this burden with a single platform approach that minimizes misconfigurations, eases day-to-day operations, and delivers AI-driven insights across Fortinet’s wired and wireless LAN solutions.
    • Consistent capabilities and intuitive licensing to reduce cost and complexity: Fortinet’s wired and wireless LAN solutions provide enterprise-grade flexibility without trade-offs, reducing network risk and simplifying operations without inflating costs.

    These capabilities are all delivered through a single operating system, FortiOS, which powers the Fortinet Security Fabric across the networking and security domains.

    Customer Recognition
    Fortinet has also been recognized in the 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure as a Customers’ Choice for the seventh consecutive time.

    “One of the big reasons we chose Fortinet is that their networking tools are built from the ground up with security in mind… With the Fortinet solutions, our network speed has been amazing. We used to receive frequent performance-related complaints from end-users, but we have heard zero complaints since we deployed the Fortinet networking solutions.”

    “FortiAPs have better availability than their competitors and easier, single-pane-of-glass management. We considered an unmanaged AP, but when we realized how tightly FortiAP integrates with the Fortinet Security Fabric, the decision was a nobrainer. We expect the FortiSwitches and FortiAPs to work together to paint a very complete security picture for our team.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Business-critical mails in spam folders: Why real emails look fake now

    In the fight against phishing, forward-thinking organisations are winning. But there’s a twist. The heightened vigilance that has empowered employees to detect suspicious emails is now creating a new dilemma: legitimate, business-critical messages are being flagged, ignored, or buried in spam folders. And in today’s AI-fuelled cyber landscape, that reaction may be as justified as it is damaging.

    Phishing works and it’s reshaping trust

    The release of generative AI tools has supercharged phishing attempts. KnowBe4’s Phishing Threat Trend Report 2025 (https://apo-opa.co/4kdUXIx) shows that more than 80% (https://apo-opa.co/3TNjJnN) of the analysed phishing emails were augmented by AI, and they’re far more convincing than before. 

    “The gut-check we used to rely on has been gamed – and even the large language models now being explored to help detect suspicious emails are also struggling,” says Anna Collard, SVP of Content Strategy & Evangelist at KnowBe4 Africa. “They’re forced to dig deeper, assessing tone, context, and subtler red flags.”

    The result? Suspicion is now the default

    And it’s not unwarranted. Maturing cybersecurity awareness and phishing simulation programs have helped sharpen employees’ scepticism (https://apo-opa.co/3GpDVcj). But this success has revealed a new problem: overcorrection.

    Emails that are real – from HR, IT, legal, or sales – are now increasingly being misjudged. In some cases, they’re wrongly flagged as phishing by either people or systems.

    In others, they’re simply ignored. The irony is that some of the most common and legitimate corporate communication traits are now the very ones that raise red flags:

    • Urgency: “Sign this by COB today”; or when every email from a colleague is marked “urgent”
    • Unexpected senders: e.g. HR tools or SaaS platforms
    • Calls to action: “Click here to confirm”
    • Stylistic quirks: overly polished copy, too many links or bold phrases
    • Tech misalignments: emails from legitimate senders failing DMARC or DKIM checks

    “Even just using a third-party sender domain can cause confusion,” says Collard. “If staff don’t expect it – or don’t recognise the platform – the message can get flagged.”

    For good reason too, as according to KnowBe4’s Phishing Threat Trend Report (https://apo-opa.co/4kdUXIx) the top 5 legitimate platforms used to send out phishing emails include popular business tools such as DocuSign, Paypal, Microsoft, Google Drive, and Salesforce.

    The cost of false positives

    When real emails get sidelined, the impact is more than a missed message. Delayed IT updates, ignored HR deadlines, and lost sales opportunities can create serious ripple effects across operations. Deliverability issues also erode trust. And in high-stakes environments like healthcare, legal services or finance, false positives can become costly very quickly.

    So, how do you write emails that get read – not flagged?

    To combat this growing challenge, organisations need to stop thinking of phishing risk as purely a recipient problem. Legitimate internal emails need to look legitimate too.

    Here’s how every team – from HR to IT to marketing – can write more trustworthy emails:

    Write Like a Human, Deliver Like a Pro

    Subject lines should set expectations

    Use clear, predictable language. Instead of “IMPORTANT: Read this now!”, try “Reminder: Benefits enrollment closes Friday”.

    Lead with context before asking for action

    Start with a reference point: “You recently submitted a travel claim…” or “As part of your onboarding…”.

    Limit urgency to what’s truly urgent

    Too many “ASAP”s will breed indifference. Use urgency sparingly – and explain why it matters. Remember:
    If everything is urgent; nothing is.

    Minimise links and avoid vague CTAs

    Avoid phrases like “click here” or hyperlinking whole sentences. Provide a fallback path:
    “Or log into your dashboard directly (https://Training.KnowBe4.com)”.

    Be cautious with tone and formatting

    Avoid shouty subject lines, gimmicky language, or inconsistent formatting that can trigger filters.

    Test before sending

    Run your email through spam-filter testing tools to see what might flag it (Mail-Tester.com or GlockApps.com).

    Get your digital paperwork in order

    Even the best-written email may never reach its recipient if your authentication protocols aren’t properly configured. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are three essential technical settings that help prove your email really came from your domain.

    • SPF tells email providers which servers are allowed to send emails using your domain name — helping stop spammers from pretending to be you.
    • DKIM adds a digital signature to your emails to prove they really came from you and weren’t changed along the way.
    • DMARC brings SPF and DKIM together by setting rules for what to do with suspicious emails (like send them to spam or block them) and sends reports to your IT team so they can spot abuse.

    “These protocols are a bit like a digital passport,” Collard explains. “Without them, even a genuine email may not make it through.”

    But even technically sound emails can fall flat if they don’t look legitimate to the reader. That’s why it’s just as important to consider how your internal teams craft and send messages.

    Internal brand security: don’t just train recipients – train senders too

    Cyber awareness is often focused on detection. But to maintain deliverability and trust, sender behaviour matters too. Teach teams to avoid accidental red flags. Share templates and subject line guides. And ensure that employees – especially those sending to large groups – understand the basics of trustworthy communication.

    Consistency is key. Make sure communications come from the same official addresses, follow familiar formats, and maintain a recognizable tone. This teaches recipients what to expect – and what to be cautious of – building a clearer line between legitimate messages and possible fakes.

    “This is part of internal brand hygiene,” says Collard. “When your team consistently communicates clearly and predictably, you build trust over time – with both employees and clients. That trust makes your emails easier to recognise, safer to deliver, and more likely to be opened.”

    In a world where AI can impersonate your tone and template with ease (https://apo-opa.co/3TPcb3X), your best defence is to sound like yourself – and help others know what to expect when you speak.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Ahead of Vote-a-rama, Durbin Sounds The Alarm On Republicans’ So-Called “One Big, Beautiful Bill”

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Illinois Dick Durbin

    June 29, 2025

    In a speech on the Senate floor, Durbin highlights how Senate Republicans’ bill will slash health care coverage for more than 16 million Americans to provide massive tax breaks for billionaires

    WASHINGTON – Ahead of an upcoming vote-a-rama, where Senate Democrats will expose the truth about Republicans’ so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will slash Medicaid, Affordable Care Act, and Medicare coverage for more than 16 million Americans to provide massive tax breaks for billionaires, U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) delivered a speech on the Senate floor where he underscored the dangers of this Republican proposal and called on four of his Senate Republican colleagues to stand up and oppose this harmful legislation.

    “We’re here today debating a clumsily assembled package—still a work in progress—that would rip away health care from 16 million American families to give tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires, and the largest corporations,” Durbin said. “Think about that for a moment. The Republicans have decided that the best avenue to generate revenue that they can then give in tax breaks to wealthy people is to eliminate health insurance coverage for 16 million Americans. That’s going to have a dramatic impact on their lives… The notion of losing your health insurance leaves you as vulnerable as possible in some of the most important moments of your life. And that they would consider this provision—to eliminate health insurance coverage for 16 million families—is unimaginable and cruel.”

    Durbin continued, “Let’s not act like there is a unified Republican front on this issue. Even some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle don’t want to be here at this moment jamming this unpopular bill through this chamber under arbitrary deadlines… Behind closed doors, my Republican colleagues continued to be consumed with infighting, bickering over the bill’s substance—and for good reason.”

    Durbin outlined how the Senate Republican bill cripples one of the main ways that states fund their Medicaid programs and keep hospitals afloat, especially in rural and low-income areas—the provider tax.

    Earlier this week, a Republican Senator circulated a flyer to his fellow caucus members detailing just how much each state will lose in Medicaid provider tax funding under their proposal. It said: Iowa would lose $4.1 billion; Missouri would lose $6.1 billion; Kentucky would lose $12 billion; Louisiana would lose $20 billion; North Carolina would lose $38.9 billion dollars.

    “This list of states and what they will lose was passed around by a Republican Senator to his own caucus. They know what they are up against here,” Durbin said. “If Republicans have their way and pass this bill, hospitals will be forced to shrink or eliminate services… doctors and nurses will leave, and—in some cases—the hospital will close.”

    Durbin continued, “As it stands today, half of the rural hospitals around the country already operate in the danger zone… If Republicans have their way, we are going to see massive layoffs—fewer nurses, technicians, and doctors—along with decreasing quality of care.” 

    The American Hospital Association estimated how these cuts to Medicaid could impact not just the jobs at these red-state hospitals, but jobs across the entire state economy. Here’s what they found: Maine could lose nearly 5,000 jobs. Kansas could lose 6,200 jobs. Iowa could lose nearly 11,000 jobs. And Missouri could lose 26,600 jobs.

    Durbin then discussed the so-called “rural hospital fund” Senate Republicans concocted, which is designed to mask the harms of their own Medicaid cuts. 

    “They [Republicans] came up with a rescue fund to solve the political problem… [the] overall cut in Medicaid now is about a trillion dollars. $1 trillion… Cutting Medicaid nationwide a trillion dollars. And the rescue plan for the small hospitals that are in danger, the ones I’ve talked about, a trillion dollars cut, how big is the rescue plan? 25 billion dollars. Do the math. It’s a joke,” Durbin said. “If Republican leaders think this is an adequate amount to alleviate the pains all of our nation’s rural hospitals are going to feel, then that’s like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose. This simply won’t work.”

    Durbin concluded by highlighting how congressional Democrats worked in a bipartisan manner to craft the Affordable Care Act, which has allowed more than 40 million Americans to gain health insurance coverage and led to a historic decline in our nation’s uninsured rate.

    “I want to conclude by saying this: we passed the Affordable Care Act 15 years ago. Of all the things that I’ve worked on in Congress, I think it had more positive impact to help the families across America than anything. We found a way to make health insurance more affordable for families, 15 years ago. And to do it, we held hearings—[Senate Democrats] [held] 100 hearings on theAffordable Care Act, roundtables, [and] walkthroughs. Two Committees spent a combined 21 days holding markups so that everyone could offer an amendment. Do you know how many amendments were made to the Obamacare program? 400 votes in Committee and on the Floor on amendments. 147 Republican amendments were included, though not a single Republican Senator ended up supporting Obamacare,” Durbin said. “At the end of the day, that legislation, Obamacare, allowed more than 40 million Americans to gain health insurance.”

    Durbin continued, “Today, how many hearings have we had on this bill before us, this dramatic, multitrillion dollar bill? None, zero, not a single one. Zero markups for Senators to offer amendments. 400 amendments on Obamacare. None on this one, until it comes to the Floor today. Zero bipartisan input. Our friends on the Republican side have said basically, ‘It’s a big deal. Take it or leave it.’ Should this bill become a law, do you know what it will have done? Thrown 16 million Americans off health insurance and closed many vulnerable, small hospitals all to pay fortax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. Maybe some of my Republican [colleagues] are okay with that. I don’t think the American people are.”

    Durbin concluded, “I’m hoping that sanity and commonsense prevail. We need four [Republican] Senators to step up and say stop this train. We’ve got to sit down and do our homework. We cannot expose the American families and the American economy to do this in the name of preserving tax breaks for the wealthiest people. Elon Musk seems to be doing okay in life, right? The wealthiest man in the world. Do you know what the tax break is for Elon Musk on the bill that is before us on the floor? $346,000. A lot of money. To him, he won’t even notice it. Giving him a tax break he won’t notice and taking away from health insurance from families who will be devastated, 16 million around the country. It’s an important choice.”

  • MIL-OSI: Alectra supports new emergency shelter for Barrie youth with $25,000 donation to Youth Haven

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alectra Inc. is contributing $25,000 to support Youth Haven’s capital campaign to build a new emergency shelter for vulnerable youth in downtown Barrie.

    “We are deeply grateful to Alectra for their generous support of Youth Haven. Their contribution plays a vital role in providing safety, shelter, and hope to vulnerable youth in our community,” said Lucy Gowers, Executive Director, Youth Haven. “More than an act of generosity, it represents a meaningful investment in building brighter futures. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping create lasting, positive change in the lives of the youth we serve. Thank you for choosing to be the difference!”

    The campaign, led by Youth Haven and supported by the Simcoe County Home Builders’ Association (SCHBA), aims to replace the current shelter, which is aging and no longer meets the needs of the community. The new facility will provide safe, supportive and accessible emergency housing for youth aged 16 to 24, who face homelessness or housing insecurity across Simcoe County.

    Construction began in November 2024 at the existing site, with SCHBA members and community partners contributing skilled labour, materials and donations to complete the rebuild within four weeks.

    “Alectra continues to show what it means to be a true community partner. Their generous support of Youth Haven’s new emergency shelter will have a lasting impact on the lives of young people in Barrie and across Simcoe County,” said Mayor Alex Nuttall, City of Barrie. “We’re grateful for their commitment to making a meaningful difference where it’s needed most.”

    Alectra’s contribution is part of its AlectraCARES community support program, which helps fund vital services, shelters, and programs that address social needs and promote youth well-being.

    “At Alectra, we believe in building stronger, more resilient communities, and that starts with supporting youth who are facing some of life’s toughest challenges,” said Brian Bentz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alectra Inc. “Youth Haven provides a critical lifeline for young people in Simcoe County, and we’re proud to support the creation of a safe, welcoming space where they can access the care and stability they deserve.”

    Youth Haven offers emergency shelter, transitional housing, outreach services, and life-skills programs to youth across Simcoe County. The new shelter will enhance the organization’s ability to provide trauma-informed care, counselling and wraparound support services.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: ASIA/CHINA – The People of God in China accompany the priests in their “Jubilee of Hope”

    Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

    Monday, 30 June 2025

    xinde.org

    Beijing (Agenzia Fides) – With a 24-hour Eucharistic adoration and prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Chinese Catholics celebrated the days before and after the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the spirit of popular piety, accompanying Chinese seminarians, bishops, and priests from June 25 to 27, in communion with Pope Leo XIV and the universal Church, during their Jubilee of Hope. In the Cathedral of the Diocese of Wenzhou, Eucharistic adoration began at 8 p.m. on June 26 and ended at 8 p.m. on June 27. The faithful were invited to pray especially for the “sanctification of priests.” The seminarians and priests themselves also addressed their prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, asking for the gifts of health, holiness, and the practice of Christian virtues. Eucharistic adoration was characterized by the recitation of the Rosary, listening to the Word of God, and sacred music. At the end of each hour, the prayer intentions for the sanctification of priests, at service of the mission of the Church, were recalled. The practice of Eucharistic adoration reminds everyone that only through the gift of the Eucharist do priests and lay people move forward each day with the request to experience the miracle of their own holiness and the holiness of others in their daily lives.In the Diocese of Taiyuan, Bishop Paul Meng Ningyou ordained two new priests on Saturday, June 28, on the occasion of the Jubilee. Bishop Meng recommended that they proclaim the Gospel, live it, and be an example to the faithful, as well as to ask for their own sanctification in light of Christ’s teachings, administer the sacraments, and be active in serving the faithful, and live their priesthood joyfully and in communion with the bishop.From June 23 to 26, priests from the Diocese of Sanyuan in the Chinese province of Shaanxi gathered to reflect on the “communal journey of the Holy Year” on the occasion of the Jubilee of Priests. During the four days of formation and sharing, the priests of the Diocese of Sanyuan meditated on their priestly ministry and the daily obligations of their pastoral experience in light of the testimonies and teachings of Saints and the Fathers of the Church. The four days spent together were a precious opportunity to renew their missionary zeal and continue their journey of conversion. (NZ) (Agenzia Fides, 30/6/2025)

  • MIL-OSI: Personal Loans for Bad Credit with Guaranteed Approval – RadCred Launches No Credit Check Loans up to $5,000

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Glendale, California, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RadCred has launched a new platform offering personal loans for bad credit with guaranteed approval and no credit check loans for U.S. borrowers. Designed for those with scores under 600, the platform connects users with licensed lenders offering bad credit personal loans guaranteed approval $5,000 or more, depending on income. RadCred uses only a soft credit check, so applying won’t harm your score. With same-day funding, flexible terms, and zero collateral needed, it’s a reliable option for emergency loan bad credit guaranteed approval seekers who need fast financial help without traditional roadblocks.

    Even borrowers with credit scores as low as 580 or below can find a lifeline through RadCred’s personal loan marketplace, bridging a critical gap in the lending industry by providing near-instant approval and same-day funding options.

    Why Bad Credit Borrowers Turn to No Credit Check Loans

    Millions of Americans with poor credit (typically under 600) struggle to access traditional loans, as banks often use strict credit score cutoffs. This leaves many without financial help during emergencies. The rising need for more inclusive lending has driven demand for bad credit loans, including no credit check loans and options with guaranteed approval. 

    These urgent loans for bad credit allow people to manage financial crises without immediate rejection due to low scores. RadCred steps in by focusing on income and repayment ability rather than credit history. Through RadCred’s personal loan network, borrowers get personal loans for bad credit with guaranteed approval, fast decisions, and a soft credit check making cash access quicker and fairer.

    Key Features of RadCred’s Bad Credit Loan Platform

    RadCred has designed its lending platform with features tailored to bad credit borrowers, ensuring the process is fast, easy, and transparent. Notable features include:

    • Fast Approval & Funding: Applications are processed rapidly – many loans are approved within minutes, with funds often deposited on the same day, giving borrowers quick access to cash when they need it. This speed is ideal for those seeking quick loans for bad credit to handle emergencies immediately.
    • No Hard Credit Check: RadCred’s lenders perform only a soft-pull credit inquiry, which means applying will not affect your credit score. Borrowers can effectively obtain personal loans with no credit check in the traditional sense, avoiding the damage of hard inquiries while still getting the financing they need.
    • No Collateral Required: All loans through RadCred are unsecured, meaning borrowers don’t have to pledge any assets or property as collateral. This feature lowers the barrier to approval for those who lack valuable collateral and makes the process less risky for the borrower.
    • Flexible Loan Terms: RadCred offers flexibility in repayment, with terms typically ranging from 1 to 3 years. Borrowers can choose a repayment period that fits their budget and timeline, whether they need a short-term relief or a longer-term installment plan.
    • Transparent Fees and Rates: There are no hidden fees on RadCred’s platform – all interest rates (APR) and any applicable fees are disclosed upfront. This transparency allows borrowers to understand the total cost of their loan and avoid surprises, making these bad credit loans easier to manage responsibly.
    • Online Convenience: The entire borrowing process is conducted online via RadCred’s user-friendly website. From application to funding, borrowers can complete every step from home, at any time, without the need to visit a bank or storefront. This 24/7 accessibility is crucial for those who need urgent loans for bad credit outside of normal banking hours.

    How to Get an Instant Personal Loan through RadCred

    Applying for a personal loan on RadCred’s platform is a simple, streamlined process. Borrowers can go from application to funding in a matter of hours by following a few straightforward steps:

    1. Apply Online: Visit RadCred’s website and fill out a short online form with your personal and financial details. It takes just a few minutes to complete.
    2. Soft Credit Check: RadCred performs a soft inquiry ideal for no credit check loans so applying won’t impact your credit score, making it suitable for bad credit borrowers.
    3. Lender Matching:  The system instantly matches you with vetted lenders based on your income and requested loan amount. This ensures access to personal loans for bad credit with guaranteed approval in many cases.
    4. Compare Offers: Receive multiple personalized loan offers with details like APR, repayment terms, and monthly payments giving you real options to compare.
    5. Select and Accept: Choose the offer that fits your needs. Most approvals are finalized immediately.
    6. Fast Funding: Approved funds are usually deposited same day, offering emergency loan bad credit guaranteed approval for urgent situations.

    By focusing on a quick and user-friendly process, RadCred enables borrowers with bad credit to obtain funds without long waits or complex paperwork. 

    Eligibility Criteria and Guaranteed Approval Conditions

    One of RadCred’s major attractions is its high approval rate for bad credit applicants. While “guaranteed approval” is subject to meeting basic criteria, RadCred’s requirements are relatively straightforward and inclusive. To qualify for a personal loan through RadCred, applicants should meet the following basic criteria:

    • Credit Check: Only a soft credit check is performed for eligibility, so having a low credit score will not automatically disqualify you. Credit history is considered, but it is not the sole determining factor for approval. RadCred’s lending partners are willing to work with borrowers who have poor credit, as long as other criteria are met.

    Because RadCred emphasizes income over credit history, it enables access to bad credit personal loans with guaranteed approval for many applicants. Even those with scores in the 500s often qualify. Through its network, borrowers can secure no credit check loans up to $5,000 and sometimes up to $50,000 based on eligibility.

  • MIL-OSI: YURU COIN Officially Launches, Bringing Japan’s National Mascot Phenomenon into Web3

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TOKYO, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YURU COIN, the official token of Japan’s beloved Yuru-Chara Grand Prix, has officially launched, marking the first time the country’s largest regional mascot competition enters the blockchain era. With over 738 million page views and 170 million cumulative votes since 2011, the Grand Prix has become a cornerstone of Japanese pop culture — and now, YURU COIN is set to transform this legacy into a decentralized digital economy.

    A Token Built on Scarcity: The Deflationary Model

    YURU COIN operates on a fully deflationary tokenomics model. All tokens were minted at launch — with no additional issuance ever planned. Every time fans vote, participate in official campaigns, or interact with mascot NFTs, YURU COIN is burned or consumed, reducing the available supply. This unique economic structure ensures increasing scarcity and potential value growth as user engagement grows. Unlike speculative tokens that inflate markets with excess supply, YURU COIN’s value is driven by cultural participation and real-world utility.

    Real Cultural Utility: From Votes to Economic Power
    YURU COIN is not just a cryptocurrency—it is a token of participation in one of Japan’s most widely recognized and cherished cultural events. The Yuru-Chara Grand Prix has become a national tradition, allowing hundreds of regional mascots to gain popularity and recognition through fan voting and local promotions. And the results have been more than symbolic—they’ve been economic.

    Consider Kumamon, the bear mascot from Kumamoto Prefecture and the Grand Prix’s first-ever champion. As of 2024, Kumamon’s merchandise sales reached ¥162.6 billion, with a record high of ¥166.4 billion in 2023, and a cumulative economic impact exceeding ¥1.45 trillion ($10 billion USD). This demonstrates the real-world power of character branding—not just for public relations, but for regional economies.

    Winning the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix can literally be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in economic value — and now, YURU COIN gives fans a tokenized way to help make that happen.

    A Decentralized Bridge Between Culture and Crypto

    With the introduction of YURU COIN, voting for your favorite character is no longer just symbolic — it becomes an act of economic support.

    Every vote powered by YURU COIN reinforces scarcity, creates digital demand, and fuels a new layer of community engagement. Fans, municipalities, and businesses alike can align around a decentralized, transparent voting and reward system that reflects real value.

    This marks a major shift: from character branding as passive entertainment to token-driven, participatory economics.

    Cross-Border Potential: Proven in China
    Before the pandemic, the Yuru-Chara Grand Prix had already begun cultural collaboration initiatives in China, including public exhibitions and mascot exchanges.

    Although temporarily paused by COVID-19, these efforts are now set to resume — with YURU COIN acting as the digital infrastructure to support global voting, character campaigns, and NFT-based engagement across borders.

    By combining local culture with decentralized technology, YURU COIN is positioned to expand this unique Japanese character tradition to international audiences, starting with China and the broader Asian market.

    The Future of Mascots is On-Chain

    Mascots like Kumamon have proven that cute characters can generate trillion-yen-level economic value through emotional resonance, strong storytelling, and regional identity.

    With YURU COIN, the next generation of mascot champions will rise not only through votes but through on-chain validation, powered by community support, blockchain transparency, and deflationary mechanics.

    This is more than a token. It’s a cultural infrastructure. It’s a gateway to a new kind of participation economy — where the people decide, and the blockchain records.

    Join the movement. Vote with value. Power the future of character culture.

    Headline: Apple Music celebrates 10 years with the launch of a new global hub for artists

    June 30, 2025

    PRESS RELEASE

    Apple Music celebrates 10 years with the launch of a new global hub for artists designed to foster creativity and connection

    Tune in to Apple Music Radio for a broadcast celebration with hosts Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and special guests as they reminisce about their favorite moments from the past 10 years while looking toward the future

    CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA As Apple Music marks its 10th anniversary this year, Apple unveils its most ambitious creative project to date: a brand-new state-of-the-art studio space in Los Angeles dedicated to artist-driven content, innovation in audio, and deeper fan connection.

    Opening this summer, the new studio represents a major milestone in Apple’s continued mission to support artists at every level by giving them the tools, platform, and creative freedom to tell their stories in entirely new ways. More than just a studio in the traditional sense, the new space is a creative campus that reflects a decade of Apple Music’s commitment to high-quality sound, authentic storytelling, and artist-first experiences.

    “Apple Music Radio has always been a home for storytelling and artistry, serving as a space for bold conversations and surprising moments,” said Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s co-head. “With this new studio, we are furthering our commitment to creating a space for artists to create, connect, and share their vision.”

    A Creative Ecosystem Built for Artists

    Designed with artists in mind, Apple Music’s new studio space in Los Angeles is a three-story, over-15,000-square-foot facility that includes:

    • Two advanced radio studios with immersive Spatial Audio playback and adaptable setups for live interviews, casual chats, or impromptu performances.
    • A 4,000-square-foot soundstage for live performances, multicam shoots, fan events, and screenings.
    • A dedicated Spatial Audio mixing room outfitted with a 9.2.4 PMC speaker system for next-level sound production.
    • A photo and social media lab, edit room, and green room to support real-time content creation.
    • Private isolation booths for songwriting, podcasting, and one-on-one interviews.
    • The A-List Corridor and Archive Corridor, showcasing images and artwork of unforgettable moments from Apple Music’s past and present.

    Global Vision, Local Roots

    Apple Music’s new Los Angeles studio will anchor a global network of creative hubs already active in places including New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, and Nashville, with additional studios coming soon. With this launch, the service continues to innovate, not just in how music is streamed, but also in how it’s made, experienced, and shared. From radio to live performance, to fan engagement and content creation, this new studio will serve as a creative home for the next decade of music.

    The Power of Apple Music Radio

    Since its inception, Apple Music Radio has been a defining feature of the service, a place where fans and artists meet in real time. From global premieres and intimate interviews, to in-depth specials and surprise performances, Apple Music Radio has distinguished itself through expertly curated, artist-led storytelling that makes listeners feel closer to the music they love. Apple Music Radio streams 24/7 and is available for free around the world.

    “When we first launched Beats 1 it was a leap of faith, the first live global radio station for a digital world,” said Zane Lowe. “We knew we wanted to build something special where artists could come and tell their stories and fans could feel connected. Ten years on, Apple Music Radio is everything we hoped it would be. It’s a place where we can eventize music, a place where music comes first, always. I’m just as excited for what’s to come as I was on day one.”

    To celebrate the 10-year milestone, Apple Music Radio will feature a week of specials and live programming, kicking off with “Don’t Be Boring: The Birth of Apple Music Radio with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden” on June 30, from 6 to 8 a.m. PST. From the early days of launching radio on streaming, to the epic artist-led shows that defined a new era, Zane, Ebro, and special guests will reminisce about the last 10 years of Apple Music Radio. Then, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST, listeners can tune in to the “10 Years of Apple Music” special. This eight-hour broadcast event on Apple Music 1 will tell the stories of the greatest artist moments, exclusive releases, live events, and cultural milestones that only Apple could deliver. The day will culminate with “Live: 10 Years Of Apple Music” from 4 to 7 p.m. PST. The live broadcast, hosted by Zane and Ebro, celebrates a decade of Apple Music with a lineup of artists who have shaped the trajectory of the service. Listeners can tune in at apple.co/_Radio.

    Additionally, Apple Music Radio will unveil the service’s top 500 most-streamed songs from the last 10 years in a special countdown beginning on Tuesday, July 1. Tune in to count down 100 songs a day, culminating with Apple Music’s top 100 most-streamed songs of all time on July 5, when the full 10 Years of Apple Music: Top Songs playlist will be available to stream.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Godiva Festival announces extra stage for local talent thanks to Arts Council funding

    Source: City of Coventry

    A third stage has been announced for next week’s Godiva Festival that will see young local musicians given the chance to perform in their home city.

    The Cov ConneX Kingston Stage – first introduced at last year’s festival – will return, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with a grant worth almost £30,000. 

    It will shine a light on musical inspiration while celebrating Coventry’s twin city of Kingston in Jamaica, with around 40 city-based artists taking to the stage over the Saturday and Sunday in styles ranging from rap, grime, afrobeat and reggae to DJs and MCs.

    It will join the Main Stage and The Cov Stage in hosting a massive array of musical talent and giving festivalgoers a packed weekend of entertainment.

    The Festival runs from 4-6 July at the city’s War Memorial Park, and tickets are still available at great prices.
     

    Cllr Abdul Salam Khan, Deputy Leader of Coventry City Council and Cabinet Member for Events, said: “Godiva was already going to be an amazing festival, but the announcement of a third stage dedicated to young local musicians has added something extra special and I know it will be a big attraction for all music lovers.

    “Thank you to Arts Council England for helping us to give artists from Coventry the incredible chance of performing on stage at a top festival in their home city – and to celebrate the incredible musical culture of our twin city of Kingston.

    “With prices frozen from last year, the Godiva Festival is a great value-for-money event for everyone in Coventry, and I can’t wait to enjoy the atmosphere when it all starts in just over a week’s time.”

    Cllr Naeem Akhtar, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities added: “Coventry is a great musical city that has produced some famous names, and what better place than Godiva to give our stars of the future a helping hand as they start their careers in the creative sector.

    “We are delighted to welcome back the Cov Connex Kingston Stage and to be working with city organisations such as Fyah Camp, ODE and Positive Youth Foundation to give performance opportunities to some of our talented young people.

    “Godiva is loved by so many, and with the music stages supported by a host of other attractions for families and visitors of all ages, it’s going to be another memorable weekend for the city.”

    This year’s line-up will see Marc Almond, best known as the vocalist for Soft Cell, headlining the Main Stage on Friday. He will be joined by synth-pop band, Heaven 17, plus soul singer and lead vocalist of the band M People, Heather Small.

    Multi award winning band, Clean Bandit, will be headlining the Main Stage on Saturday, supported by acts including DJ, Nathan Dawe, hip hop duo, Young T & Bugsey, and the Panjabi Hit Squad who will be bringing hip hop, Bollywood and bhangra anthems.

    Coventry musical legend and one of the founders of The Specials, Neville Staple, will also be taking to the Main Stage on Saturday 5 July.

    Completing the headline acts is Ocean Colour Scene who will bring the festival to a close on Sunday (6 July) evening, along with Rick Parfitt Jr & The RPJ Band and YolanDa Brown: Bob Marley Songbook, and dance group Diversity.

    The Cov Stage will serve as the secondary stage in the music field at this year’s event, hosting local talent and other acts, and the Family Field will be filled with live entertainment and interactive activities designed to offer a memorable experience for families.

    Standard day tickets are available from just £15 and standard weekend tickets from £49.50. Get yours now! To buy tickets or find out more, head to the Godiva Festival website. 

    Godiva Festival is proudly delivered by Coventry City Council. BBC CWR is the official media partner. Music Smart sponsors the Godiva Calling competition, and Coventry College sponsors the Family Field. The Cov ConneX Kingston Stage is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyra Network Honored as “Technology Startup of the Year” at the 2025 Globee® Awards

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The digital economy has witnessed transformative platforms that fundamentally changed resource sharing: Grab revolutionized transportation, Airbnb transformed hospitality, and Shein disrupted supply chains. Now, a Vietnamese technology company is redefining the next frontier-computational power sharing itself.

    Hyra Network has been officially named “Technology Startup of the Year” at the prestigious 2025 Globee® Awards for Technology, marking a watershed moment for decentralized artificial intelligence infrastructure. This recognition validates an ambitious vision that could reshape how the world builds, owns, and benefits from AI technology.

    (Official winner list available at: globeeawards.com/2025-winners-technology)

    The Vision Behind Innovation

    This breakthrough platform is researched and developed by Hyra Tek JCS (Vietnam) and operated by Hyra Tek Smart Solution L.L.C (UAE). Hyra Network’s mission is to democratize computational power by activating billions of idle devices and transforming everyday users into AI infrastructure providers.

    Hyra Network serves as the flagship platform alongside Hyra AI, creating an unprecedented model where computational resources are shared across distributed networks rather than concentrated in centralized data centers. If ride-sharing optimizes vehicle utilization and home-sharing maximizes property efficiency, then computational sharing unlocks vast processing power lying dormant in smartphones, computers, and IoT devices globally.

    Global Recognition for Excellence

    The Globee® Awards represent the technology sector’s highest honor, with winners selected by over 100 seasoned professionals including C-suite executives, venture capitalists, and industry analysts.

    “This honor transcends our company – it validates the entire movement toward democratized AI infrastructure,” said Mr. Jonh Tran, Founder of Hyra Network. “We’re witnessing global acknowledgment that the future of AI belongs not to centralized monopolies, but to communities that collectively own and benefit from these powerful technologies.”

    The decentralized AI infrastructure and compute resource-sharing model of Hyra Network

    Pioneering Community-Powered AI

    At its core, Hyra Tek’s innovation centers on Hyra AI, one of the world’s first Train-to-Earn platforms. This system allows users to convert personal devices into active AI training nodes, earning rewards while contributing to advanced model development. The Layer-3 blockchain architecture supports high-throughput, low-latency workloads, enabling scalable AI training and inference at the network’s edge.

    The economic model creates a virtuous cycle: participants provide computational resources, earn tangible rewards, and simultaneously advance AI capabilities that benefit the broader ecosystem.

    Global Impact

    Today, the Hyra ecosystem spans more than 205 countries, powering a global network of approximately 2.5 million connected devices, including 700,000 active online nodes and over 1 million KYC-verified users. With strong community engagement across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, Hyra delivers more than 360,000 teraflops of distributed computing power and supports a growing base of enterprise clients – now serving over 10 paying customers. This real-world adoption reaffirms Hyra’s core belief: that distributed, permissionless infrastructure can drive meaningful innovation while remaining truly open and accessible to all.

    As artificial intelligence and DePIN technologies gain momentum, Hyra positions itself at the technological vanguard, architecting the foundation for a more equitable, intelligent, and inclusive AI future.

  • MIL-OSI: Texas Payday Loans with No Credit Check & Fast Approval – Wizzay Expands Access with New Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wizzay—an online lending platform—has now started providing electronic payday loans as well as installment loan solutions to customers throughout Texas. The platform allows borrowers to electronically submit a secure loan application and, if qualified, be deposited funds directly into their accounts. The service is intended to offer temporary monetary relief without a visit to a storefront lender.

    By bringing together technology-powered processing and a network of regulated lending partners, Wizzay offers access to both short-term payday loans and longer-term installment loans. The site supports various loan sizes and term lengths. Wizzay conducts business under the guidelines provided by Texas financial regulation and the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

    This release represents Wizzay’s entry into the Texas consumer loan market, with the goal to provide residents more convenience when it comes to obtaining short-term financial relief.

     <<< Designed for Texans with low or bad credit—start now >>>

    Wizzay Payday Loan in Texas – Fast, Simple, and Fully Online

    Wizzay’s Texas payday loan product is designed to make the experience of obtaining a loan online. The loan application takes a few minutes to fill out with a web browser or handheld device. The process saves the inconvenience of stopping by a physical office and cuts back on paperwork by bringing necessary documents onto a digital stage.

    The most important components of this efficient process are:

    • An encrypted online application that works on mobile and desktop platforms
    • Automated identity verification and data analysis
    • A user interface presenting loan conditions before borrower commitment

    These functionalities are designed to make the lending process easier and limit administrative hurdles. Wizzay does not necessitate customers to pay a visit to a physical branch, distinguishing it from conventional brick-and-mortar payday loan providers involving paperwork and person-to-person interactions.

    How Wizzay Offers a Legal and Secure Payday Loan Alternative in Texas

    Wizzay acts as a virtual intermediary, matching borrowers with licensed lending partners that operate within the structure of Texas payday lending laws. Rather than directly issuing loans, Wizzay grants access to lenders that possess the requisite licenses and conform to the law set forth by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

    Regulatory protections include:

    • Licensing of lenders
    • Fee disclosure and repayment dates prior to loan agreement
    • Maximum cap on fees to avoid uncontrolled cost increase

    By forwarding applications solely to licensed lending partners, Wizzay guarantees adherence to the State of Texas regulations that control short-term loans. Wizzay also makes available documents explaining the terms of lending clearly and contains provisions for references to lender duties and borrower protections.

     <<< Apply in minutes and get closer to the cash you need >>>

    Wizzay Loans in Texas – Get the Money You Need Without the Hassle

    Wizzay’s loan products provide flexibility for a variety of consumer needs, ranging from small emergency cash to higher and more elastic borrowing. Loan values usually range from $100 to $5,000, subject to borrower qualification and lender policies.

    Key features are:

    • No need to go to a physical office
    • Electronic documentation verification and identity validation
    • Same-day or next-day direct deposit within standard processing times
    • Clear fee schedules presented before acceptance of the loan

    Although the process is made to be simple, Wizzay keeps a distinct line between itself and the true lending institutions. Loan offers, having been approved, are offered directly from participating lenders, and borrowers agree to terms before taking money.

    Wizzay and the Installment Loan Advantage for Texas Borrowers

    Installment loans are different from one-time payment payday loans in providing repayment in multiple periodic installments—usually monthly—until the loan amount and fees paid are completely discharged. Wizzay’s collaboration with licensed lenders makes such possibilities for Texas consumers.

    The benefits of installment loans are:

    • Ordered repayment schedules coinciding with earnings
    • Distribution of repayment that can be simpler to cope with than lump sum repayment
    • Potentially reduced total fees compared with one-time payday loans of equivalent amounts

    Borrowers who have limited savings or who require payment flexibility can prefer installment loan options. Wizzay’s function is to match applicants with lenders that provide installment loans in terms suitable to the financial position of the borrower.

    Wizzay’s Privacy Promise: A Safe Online Loan with No Credit Check & Guaranteed Approval

    Wizzay protects borrower information with industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption and secure data transfer protocols. Sensitive financial and personal information is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access controls preventing unauthorized access.

    Some elements of Wizzay’s privacy presentation:

    • Secure form submission performed over encrypted channels
    • Disclosure of data use restricted to underwriting and lender matching
    • Disclosure of sharing data only with approved partners

    In most instances, lenders on the Wizzay network conduct a soft credit check—one that won’t affect the applicant’s credit score—or emphasize capacity to repay more than credit history. Depending on lender practices, some customers apply for a payday loan in Texas with little consideration of credit history.

    • Identity verification and initial assessment

    • Fund disbursement
    • Funds are sent by direct deposit on approval

    The platform suggests the typical time frame for deposit—usually in one business day—though actual timing can be subject to banking procedures and lender-specific protocols. No signature or physical documentation is needed.

    Wizzay Lends to Texans with All Credit Types – Including Bad Credit Loans

    Wizzay’s platform does not automatically rule out applicants with lower credit scores. Rather, it seeks to match borrowers with lenders reviewed on more comprehensive criteria such as:

    • Income and employment verification
    • Existing debt obligations
    • Bank account activity

    Although the process is not guaranteed loan approval, subprime or poor credit borrowers can also apply. Network lenders may provide bad credit loans—loans for people with lower scores—although terms can differ, and fees can be higher to account for greater risk.

    Wizzay’s consumer notices remind applicants to think about their repayment ability and, where relevant, to obtain credit counseling before applying for any loan.

    Understanding Loan Terms with Wizzay – Know Before You Sign

    Prior to agreeing to loan terms, Wizzay makes certain that the following information is clearly posted:

    • Loan amount
    • Repayment date(s)
    • Total fees and financing cost
    • APR or equivalent cost-of-credit number

    Loan applicants are provided the ability to compare and view loan deals prior to accepting one. Wizzay makes information on applicable documents, such as payment schedules, due dates, and customer service contact details for the lenders, easily accessible.

    Glad tidings in these regards should serve to minimize uncertainty and enable loan applicants to gauge if a loan is within their financial means.

    Wizzay Payday Loans – Fast Cash Solutions by the Next Business Day

    Wizzay’s platform is designed to facilitate short-term cash requirements by allowing:

    • Rapid electronic submission
    • Instant assessment
    • Rapid deposit turnaround times—usually next business day, depending on banking procedures

    This setup is designed to meet circumstances like unexpected car repairs, urgent medical expenses, or other urgent payments that demand quick funding. Wizzay aims to simplify the process without needing actual physical visits and an extensive amount of paperwork.

    <<< Emergency funds could be just a few steps away >>>

    Why Wizzay Is a Trusted Direct Lender in Texas

    Although Wizzay itself is not a lender, it works in association with licensed lenders in Texas. The use of the term “direct lender” in this case means the partner lenders who are responsible for underwriting, funding, and loan servicing.

    Since Wizzay is an intermediary:

    • It streamlines the loan process through a single online application
    • Presents verified borrower information to licensed Texas-regulated lenders
    • Guarantees offers come from lenders with proper authorization

    By directing borrower applications to lender partners in one place, Wizzay helps create a streamlined, open digital lending environment.

    Wizzay Supports Flexible Repayment – Even with a Debit Card or Checking Account

    Wizzay’s network of lenders typically accommodates repayment with standard financial instruments:

    • Checking account ACH transactions in sync with borrower payroll cycles
    • Debit card payment arrangements based on the ability of lenders
    • Repayment periods are organized depending on loan type:
    • Payday loans can be repaid in full on the lender’s following payday
    • Installment loans might permit payments weekly or monthly

    Borrowers are provided with documents detailing repayment amounts, dates, and methods with freedom to schedule payments as appropriate for their budget.

    Who Wizzay Loans Are For – Loan Options for Every Texas Resident

    Wizzay’s service is accessible to adults living in Texas with active checking accounts and proven income. Amongst those who can be helped:

    • Employees requiring money before payday
    • People with unexpected expenses like doctor bills or car repairs
    • Those with consistent income but thin wallets
    • Non-prime credit candidates seeking short-term loans

    Through the ease of access to multiple financing products through one application, Wizzay provides transparency of loan choices instead of customizing one product for all consumers.

    Key Disclosures from Wizzay – What You Need to Know Before You Borrow

    Wizzay contains informative statements to help borrowers make better decisions:

    • Borrowers are urged to compare offers thoroughly and know cost structures
    • Applicants with continuing credit difficulties should think about credit counseling prior to engaging in any loan transaction
    • Wizzay does not prefer one lending program over another; presentations are unbiased and factual
    • Loan fees—fees and timing—are compliant with regulatory limits in Texas and are disclosed prior to acceptance

    These revelations indicate an attempt towards transparent lending and borrower awareness.

    Wizzay Expands Loan Services in Texas

    Wizzay now extends its service coverage to 254 Texas counties. Furthermore, the platform also connects users with a larger number of lender partners providing:

    • More loan amount options
    • Launch of longer-term installment plans
    • Specialized lending terms to meet different borrower profiles

    This business growth allows residents across Texas—urban, suburban, and rural—to obtain loan information online with uniform underwriting and approval criteria.

    Wizzay Updates Its Loan Platform for Faster Instant Approval Loans in Texas

    • Simplified data entry forms
    • Rationalized identity and bank verification routines
    • Accelerated loan matching through enhanced algorithms

    Based on internal reports, these adjustments have lowered median turnaround time from application to funding when lenders fund, though actual times may still vary with lender processing speed and banking partners.

    Wizzay Payday Loans Are Not Title Loans – Know the Difference

    Wizzay’s payday loan model differs from title loan features in a number of important aspects:

    • No vehicle title or other asset needed as collateral
    • Income and account verification-only unsecured loan contracts
    • Repayment in the form of bank withdrawal instead of lien enforcement

    Title loans involve risk of forfeiture of assets upon default, while Wizzay’s partner lenders utilize banking-based repayment systems and debt collection in compliance with Texas law.

    Wizzay Offers Installment Loans in Texas with Transparent Repayment Terms

    Installment loan offers through Wizzay’s network involve:

    • Explicitly structured payment schedules
    • Fixed payments per interval
    • Longer payback horizons for several weeks or months

    Loan agreements specify:

    • Due and issue dates
    • Amount to be repaid
    • Single disclosure of related finance charges

    This type of product provides a compromise option for customers who cannot make a lump sum payment and can possibly assist in synchronizing repayment more closely with income frequency.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wizzay—an online lending platform—has now started providing electronic payday loans as well as installment loan solutions to customers throughout Texas. The platform allows borrowers to electronically submit a secure loan application and, if qualified, be deposited funds directly into their accounts.

    By bringing together technology-powered processing and a network of regulated lending partners, Wizzay offers access to both short-term payday loans and longer-term installment loans. The site supports various loan sizes and term lengths. Wizzay conducts business under the guidelines provided by Texas financial regulation and the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

    Wizzay Payday Loan in Texas – Fast, Simple, and Fully Online

    Wizzay’s Texas payday loan product is designed to make the experience of obtaining a loan online. The loan application takes a few minutes to fill out with a web browser or handheld device. The process saves the inconvenience of stopping by a physical office and cuts back on paperwork by bringing necessary documents onto a digital stage.

    The most important components of this efficient process are:

    • An encrypted online application that works on mobile and desktop platforms
    • Automated identity verification and data analysis
    • A user interface presenting loan conditions before borrower commitment

    These functionalities are designed to make the lending process easier and limit administrative hurdles. Wizzay does not necessitate customers to pay a visit to a physical branch, distinguishing it from conventional brick-and-mortar payday loan providers involving paperwork and person-to-person interactions.

    How Wizzay Offers a Legal and Secure Payday Loan Alternative in Texas

    Wizzay acts as a virtual intermediary, matching borrowers with licensed lending partners that operate within the structure of Texas payday lending laws. Rather than directly issuing loans, Wizzay grants access to lenders that possess the requisite licenses and conform to the law set forth by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner.

    Regulatory protections include:

    • Licensing of lenders
    • Fee disclosure and repayment dates prior to loan agreement
    • Maximum cap on fees to avoid uncontrolled cost increase

    Wizzay Loans in Texas – Get the Money You Need Without the Hassle

    Wizzay’s loan products provide flexibility for a variety of consumer needs, ranging from small emergency cash to higher and more elastic borrowing. Loan values usually range from $100 to $5,000, subject to borrower qualification and lender policies.

    Key features are:

    • No need to go to a physical office
    • Electronic documentation verification and identity validation
    • Same-day or next-day direct deposit within standard processing times
    • Clear fee schedules presented before acceptance of the loan

    Although the process is made to be simple, Wizzay keeps a distinct line between itself and the true lending institutions. Loan offers, having been approved, are offered directly from participating lenders, and borrowers agree to terms before taking money.

    Wizzay and the Installment Loan Advantage for Texas Borrowers

    Installment loans are different from one-time payment payday loans in providing repayment in multiple periodic installments—usually monthly—until the loan amount and fees paid are completely discharged. Wizzay’s collaboration with licensed lenders makes such possibilities for Texas consumers.

    The benefits of installment loans are:

    • Ordered repayment schedules coinciding with earnings
    • Distribution of repayment that can be simpler to cope with than lump sum repayment
    • Potentially reduced total fees compared with one-time payday loans of equivalent amounts

    Borrowers who have limited savings or who require payment flexibility can prefer installment loan options. Wizzay’s function is to match applicants with lenders that provide installment loans in terms suitable to the financial position of the borrower.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Advancing agrifood systems transformation through effective digital technologies in Zimbabwe

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

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is advancing agrifood systems through integration of effective digital technologies in Zimbabwe. Through the Fostering Digital Villages Initiative (FDiVi), FAO hosted a Digital Fair in the Masvingo province.

    The digital fair brought together digital service providers, farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders, creating a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and real-time onboarding to digital agriculture solutions. The digital fair is part of the broader Fostering Digital Villages through innovative advisory and profitable market services project, which aims to transform agrifood systems in rural Malawi, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe using effective digital technologies, including artificial intelligence.

    “This project facilitates delivery of innovative agricultural extension services for increased productivity, enhanced market access, and advance inclusive rural transformation. It will also support local farmers, extension officers, agro-dealers, and processors, particularly the youth and women,” said Patrice Talla, FAO Subregional Coordinator for Southern Africa and Representative to Zimbabwe.

    The digital fair held in the Bikita district is part of a series of the ongoing campaign by FAO targeting digital service providers, rural farmers, agri-entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to interact and integrate digital technologies in agriculture. The digital fair sparked renewed enthusiasm for digital transformation in agriculture among local communities.

    Speaking during the digital fair, Bernard Hadzirambwi, the District Development Coordinator, praised the initiative and encouraged farmers to adopt digital technologies to enhance productivity and resilience. “Rural innovation thrives when communities connect and interact with digital technology,” said Hadzirambwi.

    “During the digital fair, our farmers explored AI-powered advisory tools, mobile market platforms, and digital extension services. I am truly encouraged by how quickly the community is embracing these innovations. Digital technologies are not just tools, they are enablers of climate-smart agriculture and inclusive rural development in our district,” said Nobert Chiduza, District Agricultural Extension Officer in the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development.

    The FDiVi is one of FAO’s corporate initiatives and flagship programmes. It is an integrated development vision that enshrines digitalization at the core of rural transformation and prosperity, addressing on-farm and off-farm socio-economic elements.

    The project is being implemented in the Mhondoro-Ngezi and Bikita districts where digital hubs will be equipped with digital tools and services including free internet, computers and digital literacy training materials.

    The project supports local farmers, extension officers, agro-dealers, and processors through facilitating access to innovative agricultural extension services, improving market access, and promoting inclusive rural transformation.

    “Before the digital fair, I didn’t know how much technology could change the way I farm. Now, I’ve learned about AI tools that help me plan better, and I can connect directly with buyers through my phone. As a young farmer, this gives me confidence in exploring new opportunities posed through digital technologies,” said Sheunesu Njeke, a 26-year-old farmer after the digital fair.  

    Going forward, FAO will integrate Digital Fairs in the annual District and Ward level Agriculture Shows. The project will continue to support digital innovators and entrepreneurs in breaking into the rural market and will also support farmers and other rural stakeholders to safely onboard onto digital platforms and services.
