  • MIL-OSI: Sky Quarry Applies for Recycling Permit to Launch Integrated Energy Facility in Utah

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WOODS CROSS, Utah, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ) (“Sky Quarry” or “the Company”), an integrated energy solutions company committed to revolutionizing the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry, today announced that it has filed a Waste Management Recycling Permit application to Utah regulators. If approved, the permit would allow the Company to operate a combined oil sands extraction and waste asphalt shingle recycling facility at its PR Spring site, unlocking new commercial pathways and expanding revenue-generating operations.

    The application is accompanied by a request to the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), the Utah state agency responsible for managing trust lands on behalf of public education, for approval of a combined permit structure. This would allow Sky Quarry and its wholly owned subsidiary, 2020 Resources, to consolidate shingle processing, heavy oil extraction, and asphaltic sand production under a unified sustainable waste energy development plan.

    If approved, the permit would open the door to several operational initiatives at the PR Spring site, including:

    • Commercialization of approximately $1 million in asphaltic sand inventory.
    • Deployment of the Company’s ECOSolv process to support on-site heavy oil extraction.
    • Continued advancement of recycled product development through R&D.
    • Demonstration of scalable remediation methods applicable across U.S. markets.

    Sky Quarry projects a combined recovery of approximately 10 million barrels over a 15-year period from oil sands and recycled shingles, based on the PR Spring facility’s operating capacity of 2,000 barrels per day.

    “This is a critical step in scaling our waste-to-energy platform and creating multiple revenue streams from a single operational footprint,” said David Sealock, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Sky Quarry. “It will allow us to showcase how our blended recycling and extraction model functions at a commercial level.”

    The permit application also represents a meaningful step forward in Sky Quarry’s commercial roadmap, aligning with the Company’s long-term vision to integrate recycling and resource recovery. It is expected to:

    • Enable early-stage cash flow from asphaltic sand and oil sales.
    • Strengthen the Company’s ESG and sustainability profile.
    • Enhance the long-term strategic value of its oil sands assets.

    Mr. Sealock continued, “This application and lease proposal reflects our continued progress toward developing scalable, commercially viable solutions that we believe align with Utah’s economic and environmental priorities. We look forward to working closely with SITLA and state regulators to move this vision forward.”

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Federal R&D funding boosts productivity for the whole economy − making big cuts to such government spending unwise

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Andrew Fieldhouse, Visiting Assistant Professor of Finance, Texas A&M University

    Research can make everyone better off.
     Emilija Manevska/Moment via Getty Images

    Large cuts to government-funded research and development can endanger American innovation – and the vital productivity gains it supports.

    The Trump administration has already canceled at least US$1.8 billion in research grants previously awarded by the National Institutes of Health, which supports biomedical and health research. Its preliminary budget request for the 2026 fiscal year proposed slashing federal funding for scientific and health research, cutting the NIH budget by another $18 billion – nearly a 40% reduction. The National Science Foundation, which funds much of the basic scientific research conducted at universities, would see its budget slashed by $5 billion – cutting it by more than half.

    Research and development spending might strike you as an unnecessary expense for the government. Perhaps you see it as something universities or private companies should instead be paying for themselves. But as research I’ve conducted shows, if the government were to abandon its long-standing practice of investing in R&D, it would significantly slow the pace of U.S. innovation and economic growth.

    I’m an economist at Texas A&M University. For the past five years, I’ve been studying the long-term economic benefits of government-funded R&D with Karel Mertens, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. We have found that government R&D spending on everything from the Apollo space program to the Human Genome Project has fueled innovation. We also found that federal R&D spending has played a significant role in boosting U.S. productivity and spurring economic growth over the past 75 years.

    Measuring productivity

    Productivity rises when economic growth is caused by technological progress and know-how, rather than workers putting in more hours or employers using more equipment and machinery. Economists believe that higher productivity fuels economic growth and raises living standards over the long run.

    U.S. productivity growth fell by half, from an average of roughly 2% a year in the 1950s and 1960s to about 1%, starting in the early 1970s. This deceleration eerily coincides with a big decline in government R&D spending, which peaked at over 1.8% of gross domestic product in the mid-1960s. Government R&D spending has declined since then and has fallen by half – to below 0.9% of GDP – today.

    Government R&D spending encompasses all innovative work the government directly pays for, regardless of who does it. Private companies and universities conduct a lot of this work, as do national labs and federal agencies, like the NIH.

    Correlation is not causation. But in a Dallas Fed working paper released in November 2024, my co-author and I identified a strong causal link between government R&D spending and U.S. productivity growth. We estimated that government R&D spending consistently accounted for more than 20% of all U.S. productivity growth since World War II. And a decline in that spending after the 1960s can account for nearly one-fourth of the deceleration in productivity since then.

    These significant productivity gains came from R&D investments by federal agencies that are not focused on national defense. Examples include the NIH’s support for biomedical research, the Department of Energy’s funding for physics and energy research, and NASA’s spending on aeronautics and space exploration technologies.

    Not all productivity growth is driven by government R&D. Economists think public investment in physical infrastructure, such as construction of the interstate highway system starting in the Eisenhower administration, also spurred productivity growth. And U.S. productivity growth briefly accelerated during the information technology boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s, which we do not attribute to government R&D investment.

    More R than D

    We have found that government R&D investment is more effective than private R&D spending at driving productivity, likely because the private sector tends to spend much more on the development side of R&D, while the public sector tends to emphasize research.

    Economists believe the private sector will naturally underinvest in more fundamental research because it is harder to patent and profit from this work. We think our higher estimated returns on nondefense R&D reflect greater productivity benefits from fundamental research, which generates more widely shared knowledge, than from private sector spending on development.

    Like the private sector, the Department of Defense spends much more on development – of weapons and military technology – than on fundamental research. We found only inconclusive evidence on the returns on military R&D.

    R&D work funded by the Defense Department also tends to initially be classified and kept secret from geopolitical rivals, such as the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb. As a result, gains for the whole economy from that source of innovation could take longer to materialize than the 15-year time frame we have studied.

    Research takes not just time but money, and the government is now cutting that funding.

    Role of Congress

    The high returns on nondefense R&D that we estimated suggest that Congress has historically underinvested in these areas. For instance, the productivity gains from nondefense R&D are at least 10 times higher than those from government investments in highways, bridges and other kinds of physical infrastructure. The government has also invested far more in physical infrastructure than R&D over the past 75 years. Increasing R&D investment would take advantage of these higher returns and gradually reduce them because of diminishing marginal returns to additional investment.

    So why is the government not spending substantially more on R&D?

    One argument sometimes heard against federal R&D spending is that it displaces, or “crowds out,” R&D spending the private sector would otherwise undertake. For instance, the administration’s budget request proposed reducing or eliminating NASA space technology programs it deemed “better suited to private sector research and development.”

    But my colleague and I have found that government spending on R&D complements private investment. An additional dollar of government nondefense R&D spending causes the private sector to increase its R&D spending by an additional 20 cents. So we expect budget cuts to the NIH, NSF and NASA to actually reduce R&D spending by companies, which is also bad for economic growth.

    Federal R&D spending is also often on the chopping block whenever Congress focuses on deficit reduction. In part, that likely reflects the gradual nature of the economic benefits from government-funded R&D, which are at odds with the country’s four-year electoral cycles.

    Similarly, the benefits from NIH spending on biomedical research are usually less visible than government spending on Medicare or Medicaid, which are health insurance programs for those 65 years and older and those with low incomes or disabilities. But Medicare or Medicaid help Americans buy prescription drugs and medical devices that were invented with the help of NIH-funded research.

    Even if the benefits of government R&D are slow to materialize or are harder to see than those from other government programs, our research suggests that the U.S. economy will be less innovative and productive – and Americans will be worse off for it – if Congress agrees to deep cuts to science and research funding.

    The views expressed in the Dallas Fed working paper are the views of the authors only and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas or the Federal Reserve System.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Wraps coming off new Wolverhampton City Learning Quarter college campus

    Source: City of Wolverhampton

    The majority of the building’s exterior is now exposed for all to see as contractor McLaughlin & Harvey continue to remove the protective covering and scaffolding to unveil the distinctive terracotta coloured cladding.

    Construction works are ongoing on the state of the art facility, which forms part of phase 2 of Wolverhampton Council’s masterplan to boost skills and employment.

    Situated around the Old Hall Street and St George’s Parade area, incorporating a site on the corner of Garrick Street and Bilston Street where the former Faces nightclub building once stood, the development is also utilising the existing Metro One building – it will open to City of Wolverhampton College students in the autumn.

    Alongside improvements to the neighbouring Adult Education Wolverhampton and Central Library facilities, the £61 million scheme – supported by Government funding – will establish new educational provision that will enhance skills and employment outcomes for residents across the city and wider region.

    It will offer A Levels in a range of subjects and vocational qualifications in art, design and photography, business and management, catering and hospitality, computing and digital, creative media, games design and e-sports, hair and beauty, health and social care, music technology, performing arts, and science.

    Prospective students can find out more about what will be on offer at the new campus at the college’s Open Day this Saturday (14 June), at its existing Wellington Road and Paget Road campuses, between 10am and 2pm. Book your place at Open Events | 14 June 2025 | City of Wolverhampton College.

    Construction on phase 1 of the City Learning Quarter masterplan – a new £8.1 million Advanced Technology and Automotive Centre at the college’s Wellington Road campus – has been completed and opened to students in September 2024.

    Councillor Chris Burden, City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Development, Jobs and Skills, said: “As we get the first look at the exterior finish of the new City Learning Quarter there is no doubt it is going to provide an inspirational setting for students and staff.

    “It will also act as a focal point in the city centre, increasing footfall to support neighbouring businesses, especially with its excellent connectivity to rail, bus, tram and cycle routes.

    “The City Learning Quarter has been a long held ambition of the council to drive education and skills in the city and it will unlock opportunities for the people of Wolverhampton and beyond.”

    Warinder Juss MP, Wolverhampton West, said: “The development of the City Learning Quarter provides exciting opportunities to not only the students of the college, but also to help with the regeneration of the city centre.”

    Paul Davies, Director of Finance at the college, said: “The unveiling of the new City Learning Quarter campus is a major milestone for the college and for education in Wolverhampton. It’s the result of years of planning and investment, and it’s exciting to see the vision becoming a reality.

    “Relocating from our long standing Paget Road site to this purpose built, centrally located campus will allow us to deliver a modern, high quality learning experience that has greater accessibility through public transport links. The new facilities will not only benefit our staff, students and apprentices, but also play a key role in supporting skills development and economic growth across the wider region.”

    The exciting City Learning Quarter proposals were initially supported by investment from the council with a further £49 million coming through UK Government funding, plus additional government grants and contributions from the college and council.

    It will pave the way for City of Wolverhampton College to move from its 1960s Paget Road site, which has been identified as land to build much needed housing.

    The college forecasts that over a 10 year period approximately 45,000 people will benefit from learning at the City Learning Quarter and around 7,500 apprenticeships will be started.

    Its central location and close proximity to the new £150 million transport interchange will make it easily accessible. It will also boast environmental benefits in line with council’s climate emergency agenda.

  • MIL-OSI: Micron and Trump Administration Announce Expanded U.S. Investments in Leading-Edge DRAM Manufacturing and R&D

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Micron Plans to Invest Approximately $200 Billion in Semiconductor Manufacturing and R&D in Idaho, New York and Virginia, Enhancing Domestic Memory Supply and Technology Leadership

    Micron to Build Second Leading-Edge Memory Manufacturing Fab in Idaho, Modernize and Expand Virginia Fab and Bring End-to-End High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Manufacturing Capabilities to U.S. to Meet Anticipated AI-Driven Demand

    BOISE, Idaho, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) and the Trump Administration today announced Micron’s plans to expand its U.S. investments to approximately $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in R&D, creating an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. As part of today’s announcement, Micron plans to invest an additional $30 billion beyond prior plans which includes building a second leading-edge memory fab in Boise, Idaho; expanding and modernizing its existing manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia; and bringing advanced packaging capabilities to the U.S. to enable long-term growth in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is essential to the AI market. Additionally, Micron is announcing a planned $50 billion domestic R&D investment, reaffirming its long-term position as the global memory technology leader. As previously announced, Micron’s investment includes its ongoing plans for a megafab in New York.

    Micron’s approximately $200 billion broader U.S. expansion vision includes two leading-edge high-volume fabs in Idaho, up to four leading-edge high-volume fabs in New York, the expansion and modernization of its existing manufacturing fab in Virginia, advanced HBM packaging capabilities and R&D to drive American innovation and technology leadership. These investments are designed to allow Micron to meet expected market demand, maintain share and support Micron’s goal of producing 40% of its DRAM in the U.S. The co-location of these two Idaho fabs with Micron’s Idaho R&D operations will drive economies of scale and faster time to market for leading-edge products, including HBM.

    Micron has already achieved key construction milestones on its first Idaho fab with DRAM output scheduled to begin in 2027. The second Idaho fab will increase Micron’s production of DRAM in the U.S., serving growing market demand fueled by AI, while the company expects to begin ground preparation in New York later this year following completion of state and federal environmental review processes. Micron expects its second Idaho fab to come online before the first New York fab. Micron will continue to manage its supply growth consistent with market conditions.

    Following the completion of the second Idaho fab, Micron plans to bring advanced HBM packaging capabilities to the U.S. Additionally, Micron has finalized a $275 million CHIPS Act direct funding award supporting its investment to expand and modernize its Manassas, Virginia facility, which will begin this year. This investment will onshore Micron’s 1-alpha DRAM node, reinforcing the company’s ongoing commitment to key sectors including industrial, automotive, defense and aerospace, and medical devices.

    “Micron’s U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry,” said Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “This approximately $200 billion investment will reinforce America’s technological leadership, create tens of thousands of American jobs across the semiconductor ecosystem and secure a domestic supply of semiconductors—critical to economic and national security. We are grateful for the support from President Trump, Secretary Lutnick and our federal, state and local partners who have been instrumental in advancing domestic semiconductor manufacturing.”

    “President Trump has made it clear that the time to build in America is now,” said Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. “In partnership with the Department of Commerce, Micron is announcing a $200 billion semiconductor manufacturing and R&D investment to bring the full spectrum of memory chip production back to the United States. Micron’s planned investment will ensure the U.S. advances its lead across critical industries like AI, automotive, and aerospace & defense.”

    Micron anticipates that all of its U.S. investments will be eligible for the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit (AMIC), and the company has already secured support at the local, state and federal level. This includes up to $6.4 billion in CHIPS Act direct funding to support the construction of two Idaho fabs and two New York fabs, as well as the expansion and modernization of its Virginia fab. Micron applauds Rep. Tenney (R-NY) for introducing the Building Advanced Semiconductors Investment Credit Act, which would increase AMIC to 35% and extend it by four years. Strengthening AMIC will help ensure investment in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing over the next four years and support long-term growth, reestablishing America’s leadership in this critical industry.

    Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft
    “Strengthening semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. will drive new innovation, create high-skilled jobs, and further American competitiveness. We applaud Micron Technology and the Trump Administration on this critical initiative to advance the country’s leadership in this vital industry.”

    Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO, NVIDIA
    “Micron’s investment in advanced memory manufacturing and HBM capabilities in the U.S., with support from Trump Administration, is an important step forward for the AI ecosystem. Micron’s leadership in high-performance memory is invaluable to enabling the next generation of AI breakthroughs that NVIDIA is driving. We’re excited to collaborate with Micron as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI and high-performance computing.”

    Tim Cook, CEO, Apple
    “At Apple, we’re proud to work with suppliers in all 50 states — including Micron, whose technology helps power the products our users rely on every day. This new commitment is another great example of American manufacturing leadership, and we look forward to building on our work together.”

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Opens Doors for Syrian Users Enabling Full-Service Suite of Products

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has now enabled onboarding of Syrian citizens on the platform. This comes following the recent suspension of OFAC sanctions. Syrian citizens and residents can now register on the platform, complete identity verification, and access the full suite of services—ranging from P2P and spot trading to futures and yield-generating products.

    This update holds particular significance for a country that has faced prolonged conflict, economic isolation, and limited access to reliable financial systems. In the absence of stable banking infrastructure, crypto has strong real-life use cases, as a tool for survival, growth, and connectivity to the broader world. The adoption of crypto in Syria shows a deeper truth about the role of crypto in places where traditional systems have failed or aren’t accessible either.

    With this, Syrian users now have access to all major Bitget features, including peer-to-peer (P2P) trading with local currency support, spot and futures markets, copy trading, and Bitget Earn products that enable passive income on crypto holdings. The mobile app and web platform also offer multi-language support and 24/7 security monitoring to ensure safe transactions. Educational content, trading tools, and customer assistance are readily available to guide new users at every step.

    Bitget’s decision to welcome Syrian users stems from a focused strategy to support real use cases in regions where crypto is vital. The inclusion of Syria signals intent to enable access where it is most urgently needed.

     “At Bitget, the priority is clear—reach those who need crypto the most. Our platform is built to serve individuals navigating unstable economies, restricted banking, or political uncertainty. Extending access to Syrian users is part of a larger effort to deliver impactful financial tools where they make the greatest difference,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

    Bitget remains focused on expanding access in regions where crypto plays a critical role in everyday life. For Syrian users, Bitget will play an important role in actively maintaining safe, efficient, and user-friendly channels for participation in crypto. Resources will be allocated to support regional engagement, improve accessibility, and ensure users in Syria are equipped to navigate the cryptospace with industry-leading products and best-in-class tools.

    Effective immediately, Syrian users can now begin their journey with full platform functionality.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Crime reduction a priority for Seventh Administration

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    The South African government is determined to deal with crime despite media reports to the contrary.

    This is the word from Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, who briefed the media in Cape Town on Thursday.

    “Cabinet has noted the continuous debate about crime in South Africa and allegations that there is a lack of a concrete government plan to deal with crime in South Africa. This is despite that on the 23rd of May 2025, the Minister of Police released the 2024/25 fourth quarter [statistics].

    “During this crime statistics release, the Minister of Police outlined the Seventh Administration’s policing priorities,” she said.

    Those priorities are:
    •    Reducing the murder rate;
    •    reducing illegal firearms and tightening controls over legal firearms.
    •    Fighting gender-based violence and femicide (GBV+F) and
    •    dismantling organised crime, including drug trafficking syndicates, cash-in-transit heists, extortion and kidnappings, tackling gang violence and combating corruption both within the South African Police Service (SAPS) and across the country.

    READ | Sexual offences and commercial crime remain a concern

    “The…statistics showed progress of a general decline compared to the same period in the previous financial year. For example, of the 30 high crime police stations in terms of reporting, 13 have recorded lower counts [of crime reporting] and two recorded no change.

    “On farm murders…whereas in principle, government does not categorise South Africans in terms of race, in light of recent misinformation, the following are the statistics; of the farm owners killed – both… were African. Of the farm workers killed, both…of them were Africans and of the five farm managers killed, one was African [thereby] dismantling the misinformation that there is a targeted attack on White commercial farmers or White farmers in general,” she explained.

    READ | More farm murder victims are African, Police Minister

    Furthermore, Operation Shanela continues to score gains against illegal firearms with 128 of those seized recently.

    “The Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations is also continuing its work which resulted in 656 suspects appearing in court, including 364 linked to serious organised crimes, 220 from serious commercial crimes and 72 from serious corruption.

    “On GBVF, a roundtable led by [the] Inter-Ministerial Committee on GBVF will be held…tomorrow at the Atteridgeville Community Hall in Pretoria and this will focus on the National Strategic Plan implementation and progress thereof. It will also evaluate and reinforce the effectiveness and efficiencies of services provided to GBVF victims,” she said.

    Political killings

    Cabinet also welcomed the guilty plea entered into by Sibusiso Ngcengwa in the murder of former ANC Youth League Secretary General and municipal councilor, Sindiso Magaqa.

    Magaqa was killed in 2017 in an apparent hit in KwaZulu-Natal.

    “Cabinet takes political killings seriously more so because the victims of those are people who are committed to the fight against corruption in municipalities or in government.

    “We are hopeful that this breakthrough will shed further light on other players involved in the murder of Mr Sindiso Magaqa,” Ntshavheni said. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: TEO-developed micro-credentials – funding and fees

    Source: Tertiary Education Commission

    On this page:

    Funding for micro-credentials
    We want to invest in micro-credentials, delivered by highly capable TEOs, that meet the needs of industries and communities, and support government priorities. To be funded, micro-credentials need to meet a clearly established industry or community need, be tightly focused on a set of skills, and have stand-alone value.
    Not all quality-assured micro-credentials can be funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) as we have to prioritise how we distribute funding. Our investment in micro-credentials will complement rather than replace existing privately funded training. Alongside the micro-credentials we fund, we expect employers, industries, and learners will cover the full cost of others themselves.
    We are open to funding micro-credentials at any level of the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF), but we want to ensure learners are supported to make good choices, including enrolling in full qualifications where appropriate.
    For more information on the micro-credential funding conditions, see the DQ1-2, DQ3-7 and DQ7-10 funding conditions for the relevant year.
    Eligible organisations
    All TEOs eligible for Delivery on the NZQCF funding, at any level (DQ1-2, DQ3-7 (non-degree) and DQ7-10), can apply for funding to deliver micro-credentials.
    If your organisation is not currently approved to receive any funding from us via an Investment Plan, you will first need to apply for funding as a new provider. For more information about this, see Application to receive TEC funding.
    Talk to us early
    If you are a TEO creating a new micro-credential, you may choose to get in touch with us early in the development process before submitting it to the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).
    We may be able to advise you if it is something we could potentially fund before you invest resources into developing it.
    Any advice is provisional, based on the information known to us at the time, and does not replace the application and assessment process.
    To receive guidance from the TEC on funding eligibility for your micro-credential, please email micro-credential@tec.govt.nz.
    How to apply
    The current TEC criteria and guidelines for the approval of TEO-developed micro-credentials came into effect on 1 November 2022. All applications must meet the approval criteria and use the form below.  

    How to submit your application
    Please read the criteria and guidelines carefully and submit your completed application through DXP Ngā Kete.
    Let us know when you’ve submitted, by emailing micro-credential@tec.govt.nz.  
    You can apply at any time. We expect to advise outcomes within six weeks. It may take longer in some circumstances or if we require additional information.
    WDC-developed micro-credentials
    Workforce Development Councils (WDCs) developing micro-credentials for which TEOs may seek TEC funding approval will need to be familiar with what we will and won’t fund.
    Funding requirements can be found in the DQ1-2, DQ3-7 and DQ7-10 funding conditions for the relevant year.
    You can also find more information at:
    WDC-developed micro-credentials and qualifications 
    Please be aware that where a WDC-developed micro-credential does not meet our investment requirements, we will not fund its delivery.
    A TEO wanting to gain accreditation to deliver a micro-credential developed by a WDC must first apply to NZQA. If granted accreditation by NZQA, the TEO can then enter the micro-credential into DXP Ngā Kete.
    If you have any questions about this, please call us on 0800 601 301 or email customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
    Fee limits on micro-credentials
    For information on fee limits on micro-credentials, including exception criteria, see Fee cap for micro-credentials.
    Re-prioritising funding from existing allocation
    If we approve a micro-credential for funding, we expect that in most cases TEOs will re-prioritise funding from within their existing allocation. To do this, you need to make an in-year Plan Amendment via a Mix of Provision (MoP) change in DXP Ngā Kete.
    You can increase the number of learners you enrol in the micro-credential over time (and make any necessary changes to the MoP), but you need to ensure the micro-credential continues to meet the priorities set out in the Tertiary Education Strategy, Plan Guidance and Supplementary Plan Guidance in force at the time of the proposed increase.

    If we approve your micro-credential for funding and you would like to seek additional funding for it, you can submit an additional funding request either at the time of your micro-credential application, or after it is approved. You will need to follow the standard process for additional funding. You can do that as part of the annual investment round or as an in-year additional funding request.
    We may consider investing additional funding to support micro-credentials if there is an exceptionally compelling case for strong employer or community demand and a clear contribution to government priorities.
    In considering further funding, we will look at your TEO’s performance in existing provision, including whether existing allocation can be reprioritised from lower-performing provision to the micro-credential.

  • MIL-OSI: Zinemx Obtains U.S. MSB License, Ushering in a New Era of Compliance

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DENVER, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recently, Zinemx Exchange announced that it has been granted the Money Services Business (MSB) license by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, marking a significant milestone in the platform global compliance strategy. Zinemx has demonstrated trustworthy capabilities in anti-money laundering (AML) and user identification compliance, enabling it to legally conduct crypto asset trading activities in the United States and multiple other jurisdictions, while providing investors with a compliant and secure trading environment over the long term.

    Possession of the U.S. MSB license allows Zinemx Exchange to legally offer crypto asset trading services across multiple states in the U.S., and further strengthens its ability to operate lawfully in other global jurisdictions. The platform has always placed a high priority on compliance, dedicating itself to delivering high-quality crypto trading services to its users.

    Alongside obtaining the MSB license, Zinemx Exchange has further optimized its AML and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance systems to meet global financial regulatory standards. The platform employs advanced identity verification technologies, ensuring that users can smoothly pass rigorous compliance checks during registration and trading processes. Its risk control system continuously monitors trading activities in real time, accurately identifying abnormal behaviors and effectively preventing illegal activities such as money laundering and market manipulation.

    The Zinemx compliance team works closely with international regulatory authorities and legal advisors to ensure that the platform operations adhere to legal and policy requirements in the global financial sector. All trading activities on the platform are strictly monitored and reviewed in accordance with international anti-money laundering regulations.

  • MIL-OSI: Aemetis CEO Meets with White House, Congress, and Agencies Regarding Support for Domestic Energy and Rural Communities in Budget Bill

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CUPERTINO, Calif., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company, announced today that its Chairman and CEO, Eric McAfee, has held meetings regarding support for domestic energy and rural communities in the federal tax bill with members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and with officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Treasury Department, and the White House National Economic Council. The meetings included a one hour presentation on transferable tax credits and the benefits of Section 45Z production tax credits to the Chief of Staff and biofuels policy staff of the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.

    “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a generational opportunity to support domestic energy and rural communities through Section 45Z production tax credits for biofuels and biogas,” Mr. McAfee stated. “This year, we have travelled to Washington D.C. more than ten times to meet with the White House, Senate and House, as well as to present to agencies related to biofuels and biogas to communicate the important role of 45Z in the expansion of American energy and the importance of funding to farmers and rural communities through higher value crops.”

    The 45Z production tax credit (PTC) was established in 2022 and went into effect in January 2025. If enacted, the federal tax and spending bill version passed by the House would modify the Section 45Z PTC to extend the credit availability by four years from 2027 to 2031, require the use of domestic feedstocks, and eliminate the indirect land use penalty for ethanol and other biofuels.

    The value of the Section 45Z production tax credits earned by Aemetis is directly correlated with the quantity of biofuels and biogas produced. From 12 dairies currently operating, Aemetis Biogas is rapidly scaling up the construction of dairy digesters to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) using feedstock from 50 dairies that have already entered agreements with Aemetis Biogas. This summer, 16 dairies are scheduled to be operating in the Aemetis Biogas Central Digester Project near Modesto, California, with 36 miles of biogas pipeline and a central biogas-to-RNG production facility already in operation delivering RNG into the PG&E utility gas pipeline.

    Aemetis renewable energy and energy efficiency projects include the expansion of dairy renewable natural gas production to generate more than 1 million MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas; the Keyes ethanol plant mechanical vapor recompression system that is expected to generate $32 million of increased annual cash flow starting in 2026; the Riverbank carbon sequestration project to inject 1.4 million tons per year of CO2 per year underground; and the 78 million gallon per year sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel plant that has already received Authority To Construct air permits and other key approvals.

    About Aemetis

    Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Aemetis is a renewable natural gas and renewable fuel company focused on the operation, acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace petroleum products and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Founded in 2006, Aemetis is operating and actively expanding a California biogas digester network and pipeline system to convert dairy waste gas into Renewable Natural Gas. Aemetis owns and operates a 65 million gallon per year ethanol production facility in California’s Central Valley near Modesto that supplies about 80 dairies with animal feed. Aemetis owns and operates an 80 million gallon per year production facility on the East Coast of India producing high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin. Aemetis is developing a sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel fuel biorefinery in California that will use renewable hydrogen and hydroelectric power to produce low carbon intensity renewable jet and diesel fuel.

  • MIL-OSI: CLEAR and Greenhouse Announce Partnership to Enable Candidate Verification

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced a new partnership with Greenhouse, trusted HR tech leader and hiring platform, to implement CLEAR1, the identity platform for businesses, to improve hiring trust and reduce manual screening. This innovative partnership will elevate the Greenhouse Real Talent solution by verifying the candidate behind the application. Together, CLEAR1 and Greenhouse will deliver an unprecedented layer of trust with a reusable identity, making candidate verification effortless and secure for organizations and applicants alike.

    Recruiters today face overwhelming candidate pipelines driven by remote work, economic uncertainty, and AI-fueled mass applications. AI has also brought on a surge in fake and fraudulent applications, including deepfakes and identity spoofing, which pose real risks, threatening data security and degrading the quality of hiring. Gartner predicts that by 2028, up to 25% of job applicants could be fraudulent, leveraging sophisticated AI tools to bypass standard hiring controls.

    Greenhouse Real Talent was designed to cut through this noise, applying AI-driven sorting and fraud detection so recruiters can focus on candidates who truly fit the role. With CLEAR1 embedded directly into Greenhouse workflows, teams will be able to verify candidates securely and efficiently. For candidates, the experience is as simple as snapping a selfie within their MyGreenhouse profile.

    “Greenhouse is committed to giving organizations confidence that every hire is the right hire,” said Daniel Chait, CEO of Greenhouse. “CLEAR is the gold standard of identity verification. By integrating it into Real Talent, candidates can have a fast and secure way to verify their identity, and customers can trust that their candidate pipelines are filled with real people—not bad actors.”

    “At CLEAR, we believe that identity is foundational to trust,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. “In an age where AI can create fake candidates as easily as real ones, our partnership with Greenhouse helps ensure that every applicant is a real person. By integrating CLEAR1 into the hiring process, we’re giving employers peace of mind—and real people a faster, more secure way to prove who they are.”

    With CLEAR1, Greenhouse Real Talent will enable:

    • An integrated approach to identity that matches a candidate’s selfie to their government-issued ID and corroborates details across trusted sources
    • Seamless verification across key touchpoints in the hiring process. Over 31 million existing CLEAR users verify instantly with a selfie, while new users enjoy the same experience after a quick, one-time setup — minimizing friction for both candidates and recruiters
    • Enhanced trust, with CLEAR meeting the highest standards for privacy and data protection. 89% of people agree that CLEAR represents security and trust.

    Key benefits for customers:

    • Know with certainty that candidates are authentic individuals, not AI-generated fakes or impersonators
    • Save recruiter time with smart filtering and verified candidates, so hiring efforts focus on the right people, in a fraction of the time it would take to do this manually
    • Reduce exposure to confidential data leaks and regulatory risk by minimizing fraudulent activity

    Key benefits for candidates:

    • A fast and secure way to verify their identity and build trust with recruiters
    • Verify in seconds if a candidate is already a CLEAR user
    • Built into the existing job application workflow through MyGreenhouse

    Availability

    The Greenhouse Real Talent + CLEAR1 integration will launch for select customers starting in Q3 2025, with expanded rollout and details to be announced soon. Stay updated here.

  • MIL-OSI: KraneShares Expands Single-Stock Levered ETF Suite With 2X Investment Exposure to Mercado Libre (KMLI)

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Krane Funds Advisors (“KraneShares”), an asset management firm known for its global exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced the expansion of its Single-Stock Levered ETF Suite with the KraneShares 2X Long MELI Daily ETF (Ticker: KMLI), which listed today.

    KMLI seeks daily investment results, before expenses and fees, of 2 times (200%) the daily percentage change of Mercado Libre, a key player in the digitalization of commerce in the developing world.

    Mercado Libre is Latin America’s most popular E-Commerce platform, beating out Amazon in the region in terms of users.1 Mercado Libre helps power the digital transformation in 18 developing and middle-income countries through frictionless commerce and financial inclusion.2

    “Global consumer internet companies continue to represent an important growth theme, as internet adoption increases, especially in the developing world,” said James Maund, KraneShares Head of Capital Markets. “We are excited to expand our Single-Stock Levered ETF Suite with KMLI, whose underlying exposure, Mercado Libre, is a cornerstone of the digital transformation in Latin America. We hope to continue to expand the Suite to help our investors capitalize on the latest growth trends within international internet and technology markets.”

    The global middle class already accounts for two-thirds of global spending,3 and an increasing portion of that spending is occurring online. Mercado Libre is an innovative player facilitating this transition and stands to benefit substantially from increasing E-Commerce penetration rates in global markets.

    For more information on the KraneShares Single Stock Levered ETFs, please visit https://kraneshares.com/kmli or consult your financial advisor.

    Investors should be aware that they can lose their entire investment. Single-stock ETFs, unlike traditional ETFs that diversify across a range of stocks, focus solely on the performance of a single stock, significantly increasing investment risk. KraneShares Single Stock Levered ETFs aim for daily investment results that match 2x the daily performance of the underlying stock. Investors should be aware that returns may diverge from the stock’s actual performance if held for more than a day.

    Due to their leveraged nature, these funds require close monitoring, as they can magnify both potential gains and losses. A flat performance of the underlying stock may lead to a loss, and in certain scenarios, these funds can incur losses even when the stock price fluctuates positively or negatively over several days. Therefore, they are not suitable for every investor and are specifically intended for knowledgeable individuals who grasp the mechanics of leveraged investing and are willing to actively manage risks. Understanding volatility is essential, as minor stock movements and increased volatility can result in returns that significantly deviate from the expected target.

    Important Notes:

    Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s full and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting: www.kraneshares.com/kmli. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

    Risk Disclosures:

    Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

    This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

    The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify Fund’s gains or losses. Derivatives (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) are contracts that derive their value from the performance of underlying assets. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the assets’ market values and the derivatives may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risks. The Fund is subject to liquidity risks, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If transactions for these securities are large, it may not be possible to initiate them, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risks are the risks of loss in the event that the counterparties to an agreement fail to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivatives.

    The Underlying Stocks are exposed to numerous risks that can impact their revenues and viability, such as price volatility, management, inflation, global economic conditions, and natural disasters. Their performances may be influenced by trends in commerce, cloud computing, international trade policies, and regulatory changes. The Fund’s daily returns rely on the Underlying Stocks’ performances and volatility. Issuer-specific factors may increase Fund investment volatility compared to the overall market. Mercado Libre faces risks from competition in E-Commerce, economic uncertainties, demand declines, revenue concentration, geopolitical events, intellectual property issues, exchange rates, reliance on third-party manufacturing, shortages, cybersecurity threats, system failures, rising costs, government regulations, compliance expenses, litigation, taxes, debt, and talent retention.

    The Fund aims for daily investment results of 200% of the daily percentage changes of the Underlying Stock. Their performances over longer periods will likely differ from the Underlying Stock due to compounded returns, which significantly affect leveraged funds. If the Underlying Stock perform poorly, the dollar losses for shareholders will be smaller if their investments have already decreased. Conversely, if the stocks perform well, future losses will be larger as the investment values have increased. Compounding effects become more pronounced with higher volatility and longer holding periods, impacting shareholders differently based on their investment durations and the stocks’ volatility. Various factors can impact the Fund’s correlations with Underlying Stocks, and achieving high correlations is not guaranteed. If the Fund fails to achieve correlation, they may not meet their investment objectives, with NAV changes varying significantly from 200% of the Underlying Stocks’ changes. To maintain correlations, the Fund’s attempt daily rebalancing for consistent exposures. Major deviations can increase leverage risks. Market disruptions and volatility can hinder the Fund’s ability to adjust. Target exposures fluctuate, making perfect 200% exposures unlikely, especially on volatile days. Other elements, like fees and market conditions, can also affect correlations. The Fund may change positions for tax efficiency, which could harm correlations. Large asset movements or trading discrepancies may lead to under- or overexposures, reducing the Fund’s ability to meet their daily objectives. The Fund uses leverage to gain investment exposure beyond their net assets, leading to potentially greater losses in adverse conditions than non-leveraged funds. A decline in the Underlying Stocks’ daily performance can magnify losses, decreasing the Fund’s value by 2% for each 1% drop, excluding costs. Losses could exceed net assets if the Underlying Stock falls over 50%. Due to limited investments, the Fund may need to limit or suspend the creation or redemption of Creation Units. During these times, shares might trade at significant premiums or discounts to their net asset values. If creations are halted, large redemptions could force the Fund to sell securities at unfavorable prices, increasing costs and taxable distributions to shareholders. The Underlying Stock is listed on an exchange, but an active trading market isn’t guaranteed, and trading can be halted. A halt in the Underlying Stock usually leads to a halt in the Fund’s shares. Trading may stop due to market conditions or exchange decisions, and halts can occur from extraordinary volatility under circuit breaker rules. Extended trading halts may hinder the Fund’s ability to arrange necessary swaps for its investment strategy.

    Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a single stock. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. KMLI is non-diversified.

    The Latin American economy is an emerging market, vulnerable to domestic and regional economic and political changes, often showing more volatility than developed markets. Companies face risks from potential government interventions, and the export-driven economy is sensitive to downturns in key trading partners, impacting the Fund. Regulatory standards in these markets are less stringent than in the U.S., resulting in limited information about issuers. Tax laws are unclear and subject to change, potentially impacting the Fund and leading to unexpected liabilities for foreign investors. The economies of certain Latin American countries have experienced high interest rates, economic volatility, inflation, and high unemployment rates. Fluctuations in the currencies of foreign countries may have an adverse effect on domestic currency values. The Fund is new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If the Fund does not grow in size, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid-ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a trading halt.

    ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units.

  • MIL-OSI: FBI Special Agent Chris Wong Joins TRM Labs

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Christopher Wong, one of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s foremost experts on cryptocurrency investigations, has joined TRM Labs.

    Wong served with the FBI for ten years, most recently as a Supervisory Special Agent in the Bureau’s Virtual Assets Unit. In that role, he led and supported some of the most complex cryptocurrency-related investigations in US law enforcement, including multi-year efforts to disrupt North Korea’s use of digital assets to finance its weapons programs.

    Wong, in partnership with now-TRM colleague Chris Janczewski — then a special agent with IRS-Criminal Investigation — led the FBI’s investigation into the 2016 Bitfinex hack, resulting in the recovery of approximately USD 3.6 billion in cryptocurrency, the largest seizure in US history. He also played a critical role in the US government’s response to the USD 600 million Axie Infinity Ronin Bridge hack, attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. That incident became a watershed moment in US national security policy on crypto threats, driving a coordinated interagency response and leading to the first-ever sanctions on cryptocurrency mixing services.

    Most recently, Wong supported the Department of Justice’s civil forfeiture action involving over USD 7.7 million in cryptocurrency linked to a North Korean IT worker laundering network. That investigation uncovered a sophisticated global scheme in which DPRK operatives used false identities to gain employment in the tech sector and funnel illicit earnings back to Pyongyang.

    In addition to his investigative work, Wong has trained law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges in dozens of countries, helping to build international capacity to respond to crypto-enabled crime.

    “I’m incredibly proud of the mission I served at the FBI — supporting agents, partners, and prosecutors as we tackled some of the most impactful crypto investigations in the world,” said Wong. “At TRM, I have the opportunity to continue that mission — this time by helping amplify the work law enforcement is doing globally to disrupt illicit finance and protect victims.”

    “Chris is one of the most respected agents in the space,” said Esteban Castaño, co-founder and CEO of TRM Labs. “He combines elite investigative skill with a deep sense of purpose, and his work has shaped how governments respond to nation-state cyber threats and financial crime. We’re honored to welcome him to TRM as we expand our support for public sector partners and the broader mission of safeguarding the financial system.”

    Wong joins a growing team of former law enforcement and national security officials at TRM Labs working to detect, investigate, and prevent illicit activity involving digital assets.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Can the African Energy Bank Transform the Continent’s Refining and Downstream Future?


    Download logo

    Set to launch in June 2025 with an initial $5 billion in capital, the African Energy Bank (AEB) is positioned to catalyze a shift in Africa’s energy sector. Established by the African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO) in partnership with multilateral financial institution Afreximbank, the AEB aims to mobilize capital for upstream, midstream and downstream energy projects, addressing a continent-wide investment shortfall estimated at up to $50 billion annually. By providing accessible, Africa-focused financing, the AEB is expected to reduce dependency on foreign capital and imports, especially in the downstream sector where over 80% of refined petroleum products are currently imported.

    The AEB’s role in advancing refining capacity and downstream development will take center stage at this year’s African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025 conference – taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town. As Africa’s premier platform for energy dialogue and investment, AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 will spotlight the AEB’s potential to transform Africa’s energy landscape.

    Driving Refining Capacity Through Local Investment

    Despite holding over 125 billion barrels of oil and 620 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, Africa continues to struggle with insufficient refining capacity, forcing nations to export crude oil and re-import refined products at a premium. Institutions such as the African Refiners and Distributors Association (ARDA) have long-advocated for investment in modernizing and expanding Africa’s refining infrastructure. Current projections indicate that African petroleum demand will increase from 4.1 million barrels per day (bpd) to 5.3 million bpd by 2040 – a trend that underscores the urgency of building self-sufficient refining systems.

    As such, the AEB – headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria and scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2025 – is uniquely positioned to support strategic investment across Africa’s downstream and refining sectors. With an ambition to grow its asset base to $120 billion, the bank is positioned to unlock domestic value chains and catalyze large-scale projects that meet the continent’s rising demand for petroleum.

    Momentum in Downstream Expansion

    Recent developments across the continent reflect growing momentum to scale refining capacity. Angola expects phase one of the Cabinda refinery to begin operations in 2025, bringing 60,000 bpd to the market. The country has a goal to increase capacity to 445,000 bpd and is on track to reduce imports of derivatives by 14% by 2026. Nigeria’s 650,000-bpd Dangote Refinery began producing diesel and aviation fuel in 2024, marking a significant milestone for domestic processing. Similarly, upgrades to the Port Harcourt Refinery and ongoing expansion to Ghana’s Sentuo Oil Refinery highlight national efforts to meet growing demand.

    Equatorial Guinea’s recent agreement with Shanghai SupeZet to build a new refinery and expand the Bata facility further illustrates the strategic push toward local processing. These efforts not only reduce import dependency but also create jobs, enhance energy security and promote regional trade in refined products.

    Aligning Regional Integration and Investment

    Africa’s refining and energy infrastructure ambitions are closely tied to broader goals of economic integration. The African Continental Free Trade Agreement, ratified by more than 48 countries, creates a platform for cross-border energy projects by removing trade barriers and harmonizing investment policies. It also supports the development of regional supply chains, enhancing the commercial viability of shared infrastructure.

    The AEB will play a central role in supporting these regional ambitions by working with over 700 African financial institutions and APPO member states to channel funding into integrated, cross-border energy systems. By reducing the time, cost and risk associated with project development, the bank could accelerate the pace of infrastructure buildout across the continent.

    AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event.

  • MIL-OSI: DNO Completes Transformative North Sea Acquisition

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Oslo, 12 June 2025 – DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas operator, today announced the completion of the acquisition of Sval Energi Group AS from HitecVision for a cash consideration of USD 450 million based on an enterprise value of USD 1.6 billion.

    The acquired portfolio comprises 16 producing fields in Norway, quadrupling DNO’s North Sea production to 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). The Company’s North Sea proven and probable (2P) reserves swell to 189 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), also a fourfold increase. Contingent resources (2C) total 316 MMboe.

    Following the acquisition, Norway and the United Kingdom represent nearly 60 percent of the Company’s global production and about 45 percent of its global reserves, with the balance predominantly in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

    “The Sval Energi assets provided a rare opportunity to significantly upsize DNO’s North Sea operations and, of course, DNO itself,” said DNO’s Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani. “And we moved quickly to seal the deal,” he added.

    Halvor Engebretsen, Sval Energi’s Chief Executive Officer, will lead the enlarged North Sea business as Managing Director, DNO Norge AS.                  

    Supported by ongoing field development projects with multiple discoveries currently being matured for project sanction, DNO is well placed to grow North Sea production organically in the years ahead. The combined North Sea 2P reserves and 2C resources equal 15 years of production at the current run rate.

    In addition to ferreting out other acquisition targets, the Company is focused like a laser on breaking from the pack and accelerating development and monetization of its numerous discoveries in Norway.

    “It takes most Norwegian oil companies a ridiculously long eight to ten years to bring a discovery to first production, even with simple subsea tiebacks to existing platforms,” said Mr. Mossavar-Rahmani. “Compare that to the two to three years, if that, to execute this task in other established basins,” he continued.

    DNO last week raised USD 400 million in hybrid bonds towards the acquisition.

    Outside of the North Sea, DNO continues to deliver solid operations. In Kurdistan, DNO has maintained production from its flagship Tawke license (75 percent and operator) at about 80,000 boepd (60,000 boepd net working interest) with minimal new investment. Its Côte d’Ivoire gas assets steadily produce over 3,000 boepd net to DNO. Four development wells and one exploration well are planned in 2025-26.

    DNO ASA is a leading Norwegian oil and gas operator active in the Middle East, the North Sea and West Africa. Founded in 1971 and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, the Company holds stakes in onshore and offshore licenses at various stages of exploration, development and production in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, Norway, the United Kingdom, Côte d’Ivoire and Yemen.

Additionally, users are empowered to customize their own security settings, including transaction limits and IP access restrictions, further strengthening personal account protection.

    The AI-powered risk control system not only enhances the overall security of crypto trading but also provides investors with a more stable trading environment. Looking ahead, Zinemx Exchange will continue to optimize its risk management framework by introducing cutting-edge intelligent analytics and refining its risk control strategies to ensure that platform operations remain compliant with global regulatory standards.

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed deep shock over the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, describing the incident as “heartbreaking beyond words.”

    “The tragedy in Ahmedabad has stunned and saddened us. It is heartbreaking beyond words. In this sad hour, my thoughts are with everyone affected by it. I have been in touch with ministers and authorities who are working to assist those affected,” PM Modi said in a post on X on Thursday.

    An Air India plane headed to London with 242 people on board crashed minutes after taking off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Thursday, airline and police officials said.

    The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) confirmed that the Boeing 787-8 aircraft, registered as VT-ANB, was operating Flight AI-171 to Gatwick Airport when it went down shortly after departure. The aircraft was carrying 2 pilots, 10 cabin crew members, and 230 passengers.

    Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also expressed her heartfelt condolences following the crash of an Air India aircraft near Ahmedabad Airport, which was carrying 242 people, including crew members.

    “Distressed on hearing about the flight crash in Ahmedabad. My prayers are with all families and friends of those on board the flight,” said Sitharaman.

    Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said he was “deeply pained to learn about the plane crash in Ahmedabad.”

    “I convey my deepest condolences to the families of those who have lost their loved ones. We stand firmly with those grieving and pray for the quick recovery of the injured. Om Shanti,” he posted.

    Offering his condolences, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said his thoughts were with the passengers and their families.

    “The scenes emerging of a London-bound plane carrying many British nationals crashing in the Indian city of Ahmedabad are devastating,” Starmer wrote on X.
    “I am being kept updated as the situation develops, and my thoughts are with the passengers and their families at this deeply distressing time,” he added.

    British Foreign Minister David Lammy said he was deeply saddened by the news and that the UK was working with Indian authorities.

    “Deeply saddened by news of a devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad, India,” Lammy said on X. “My thoughts are with all those affected. The UK is working with local authorities in India to urgently establish the facts and provide support.”

    Speaking later in the British Parliament, Lammy said the UK had activated a crisis team in both India’s capital, New Delhi, and in London.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also extended his condolences.
    “Horrible news of a passenger plane crash in India. My deepest condolences to Prime Minister @narendramodi and the entire people of India on this tragic day. Our thoughts are with all victims’ relatives and close ones in India, the UK, Portugal, and Canada. We share your shock and grief. We pray for as many lives to be saved as possible and wish a speedy recovery to the injured,” he said in a post on X.

    The Airports Authority of India (AAI) said an operational control room had been activated “to oversee and coordinate all necessary response measures.”

    It also shared emergency contact numbers for assistance and information: the Delhi control room can be reached at 011-24610843 and 9650391859, while the Ahmedabad control room can be contacted at 9978405304 and 079-23251900.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Concerns about ongoing Cook Strait ferry issues

    Source: Maritime Union of New Zealand

    The Maritime Union of New Zealand says the Cook Strait ferry service is struggling, with the entire Interislander fleet currently either suffering breakdowns, wave damage or being taken out of service for audit.

    Maritime Union of New Zealand National Secretary Carl Findlay says the vital transport link is hanging by a thread, with ongoing disruption.

    He says the Aratere has once again experienced technical issues, following engine shaft problems in Picton on Wednesday evening that caused several hours of delays. Crew members and passengers had to remain on board before being able to disembark in Wellington.

    Over the previous weekend, Kaiarahi had its bow door damaged in rough seas, which will be welded shut to allow it to continue to operate until a scheduled dry dock in Singapore in July.

    Kaitaki is being pulled from service this weekend for a Maritime NZ audit.

    KiwiRail announced in May 2025 it would remove the rail-enabled Aratere ferry from service in August 2025, and is now seeking to cut 70 jobs for MUNZ members in the deck and catering departments on the Aratere.

    Mr Findlay says the Union had flagged the dangers of removing a key vessel from service, and the current situation showed that KiwiRail needed to rethink their plan.

    He says technical problems with Cook Strait ferries extended to the private operator Strait Shipping, and had their roots in a failure to invest in modern shipping and infrastructure by the Government and private operators.

    Mr Findlay says the cancellation of the iRex project by Finance Minister Nicola Willis was going to cause years of disruption as the iRex ferries would have been entering into service over the next year or two.

    New ferries announced by Minister of Rail Winston Peters are now not expected until at least 2029.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Thales ranked No.1 most attractive employer among engineering students in France in 2025

    Source: Thales Group

    Headline: Thales ranked No.1 most attractive employer among engineering students in France in 2025

    Thales has secured the top spot in the 2025 ranking of the most attractive employers for engineering students in France, in a survey conducted by the Universum research institute. The survey covered 23,376 students, including 11,556 from engineering schools. Thales also ranked 4th among IT students.

    Students notably praised the Group’s capacity for innovation and the wide range of career development opportunities it offers.
    ​As a global leader in high technology across Defence, Aerospace, Cybersecurity and Digital Identity, Thales provides the opportunity to work in critical environments involving artificial intelligence, quantum technologies or cloud computing. The company offers a very broad array of career paths, backed by a strong industrial and academic presence across 68 countries. For the past three years, Thales has also invested heavily in a global upskilling initiative called the “Learning Company” programme, delivered by 2,000 in-house trainers. It brings together 13 Domain Academies (Radar, Radio, Naval, Tubes, Pyrotechnics…) and 19 Functional Academies (Engineering, Industry, HR, Finance, Communications…).

    The preference expressed by young engineering students for Thales also reflects the Group’s efforts to reach out to younger generations. Last year, Thales engaged with over 150,000 young people through 600 events. In 2025, in France alone, the Group expects to welcome more than 3,000 interns and apprentices in higher education, with around 25% going on to secure permanent or fixed-term roles.

    Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency leads industry delegation to participate in Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market 2025 in FranceIssued at HKT 16:40

    The Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau led an industry delegation to participate in the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Market 2025 in France and joined forces with the Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Association (HKDEA) to set up the Hong Kong Pavilion themed “AI-assisted Animation Production” and organised a series of activities, with the aim of increasing overseas exposure of Hong Kong original animation works and creative teams, enhancing their reach in market development, and enabling them to explore collaboration opportunities.

    As the international animation film festival with a rich history and the largest scale of its kind, the Annecy International Animation Film Festival commands high respect from the global animation industry. Its film market, the Annecy International Animation Film Market, is a prominent annual business-oriented exhibition that takes place from June 10 to 13 (Annecy time). In the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Pavilion held on June 10, the Assistant Commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries, Mrs Lowell Cho, expressed hope that through a series of activities during this promotion, the CCIDA and the industry join hands to promote Hong Kong animation works to the animation industry professionals and audiences from all over the world, hence enabling the original animation by Hong Kong to shine bright on the international stage and to strive for opportunities to strengthen ties with global industry counterparts. She also warmly congratulated the film “Another World”, funded by the Film Development Fund (FDF) and produced by an animation creative team from Hong Kong, for being selected for the non-competitive section of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival 2025 and that it will be screened at the “Midnight Specials” session on the evening of June 13 (Annecy time). “Another World” brings international recognition, which serves as a significant booster for the Hong Kong animation industry, showcasing the global appreciation for Hong Kong animation.

    The Hong Kong animation film “Another World” is directed by Tommy Ng, and produced and scripted by Polly Yeung. The production team attended the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in person to engage with audiences and industry counterparts. In 2019, the team participated in the sixth Animation Support Program, a project funded by the CCIDA through the CreateSmart Initiative (CSI), and was granted a subsidy to initiate the production of the short version of “Another World”, which won the Gold Award under the Small Animation Enterprises (Advanced Production) category. Subsequently, the team, with its proposal to develop “Another World” into a feature-length animation film, successfully applied for the Film Production Financing Scheme under the FDF and was granted the subsidy to bring the debut animation feature film directed by Ng into fruition, paving the way for the film’s global premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Yeung was also invited by the Hong Kong Film Development Council to participate in the 81st Venice International Film Festival in Italy and the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France to seek production investment, attend various producer matching activities, and exchange ideas with filmmakers from all over the world, increasing publicity for “Another World” and opening doors for overseas distribution of the film project.

    During the exhibition period, a series of networking and exchange activities were launched at the Hong Kong Pavilion, and six short original animated works created with AI assistance were also showcased, demonstrating to the international market the creativity and unique charisma of Hong Kong productions. The Hong Kong Partner Pitches was held on June 11, where the six Hong Kong companies selected under the 2nd Future Animation – AI-assisted Animation Production Support Scheme organised by the HKDEA and sponsored by the CCIDA, namely 924 Studio Limited, Astro Heart Limited, Free-D Workshop, ManyMany Creations Ltd, Morph Workshop and Stepc, conducted exchanges with elite animation companies from all over the world. They took the opportunity to broaden their horizons, enhance their promotion to overseas practitioners and investors, and pursue more collaboration possibilities.

    The Animation Support Program, a government-funded project under the CSI, is now in its 12th edition. It focuses on supporting local start-ups and small animation companies and cultivating local animation talent. Over the years, it has assisted more than 250 local animation companies and enabled them to produce more than 270 original animation works. As a scheme under the FDF with the longest history and well-received by the film industry, the Film Production Financing Scheme aims to provide government financing for film productions with small-to-medium production budgets. As of the end of May 2025, approved films have received more than 150 local and international film awards.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: expert reaction to London-bound passenger plane crashing shortly after take-off in India

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

    Scientists comment on a London-bound Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashing shortly after take-off in India. 

    Prof Graham Braithwaite, Director of Aerospace and Aviation, Cranfield University, said:

    What do we know about the situation so far?

    “The aircraft involved is an 11-year-old Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. This is the first major accident involving the 787.

    “At this point we don’t know whether there are any survivors or whether there have been any casualties on the ground.

    What don’t we know and are waiting to find out?

    “At this stage the focus will be on search and rescue at the site. For the airline, they will be focused on caring for family members and friends at both the departure airport and destination. Until the manifest is confirmed, they will be dealing with a very high number of enquiries from concerned friends and families. Early information about the accident is unlikely to be accurate so even though people will look at tools like FlightRadar 24, it won’t tell us anything about the “why it happened”. We should be very careful not to speculate on cause when there is so little reliable information available.

    Is it unusual for a plane crash to occur so soon after take-off?

    “Yes. Although take off is a critical stage of flight, aircraft accidents are incredibly rare, especially involving modern aircraft types such as the Boeing 787. Take off is a critical stage because the aircraft is still accelerating and any problem-solving requires a rapid response.

    Any other information you think is relevant for journalists to know.

    “The accident will be investigated by the Indian Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau – an organisation which is independent from the aviation regulator, and which is focused on ‘not for blame’ safety investigations. This is governed by an international standard known as ICAO Annex 13. Under that, participants will include the US National Transportation Safety Board as the State of Manufacturer. Stated with a significant number of people on board will also have a right to participate so I would expect the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch to be involved.”
