  • MIL-OSI: TruGolf Announces Reverse Stock Split

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Salt Lake City, Utah, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, today announced that it filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its Class A common stock. The reverse stock split will take effect at 12:01 am (Eastern Time) on June 23, 2025, and the Company’s Class A common stock will open for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on June 23, 2025 on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol “TRUG” but with a new CUSIP number 243733409.

    As a result of the reverse stock split, every fifty shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding prior to the opening of trading on June 23, 2025 will be consolidated into one issued and outstanding share. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Class A common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock or the par value of the Class A common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Class A common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, the stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share.

    As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 40.5 million shares to approximately 0.8 million shares, and the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock will remain at 650 million shares.

    LAS VEGAS, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned indirect subsidiary askROI, Inc. (“askROI”), has surpassed 160,000 cumulative app downloads between the Apple App Store and Google Play. This marks a key milestone in askROI’s early growth and adoption.

    askROI recently announced the launch of its app in both the Apple App Store and Google Play, offering users access to advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools for both personal and business applications. Despite minimal marketing efforts to date, askROI’s organic traction continues to grow as askROI seeks to fine-tune its AI platform.

    “askROI has done very little marketing so far as the team continues to test and refine its AI platform across multiple use cases,” stated Milton “Todd” Ault III, Founder and Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “I am very proud of the progress made by the team and look forward to more growth as the askROI team launches new updates and new future products. Over the coming months, the askROI team plans to roll out a new version of its AI platform and significantly bolster its marketing efforts.”

    About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

    Hyperscale Data expects to complete the Divestiture of ACG on or about December 31, 2025. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support HPC services, though it may at that time continue to mine Bitcoin. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

    On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

  • MIL-OSI: Pessimism About Future Household Finances Rises, Yet Majority of U.S. Consumers Remain Optimistic

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As tariffs and the potential for rising cost of goods have dominated the news cycle since early April, a new TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) Q2 2025 Consumer Pulse study found that 27% of U.S. consumers are now pessimistic about their household finances over the next 12 months. This marks a six-percentage point rise from Q4 2024 (21%) and a four-percentage point increase from a year ago (23%). It’s the highest level since TransUnion first began tracking this data point in Q1 2021.

    Despite the rise in pessimism, 55% of consumers are optimistic about their household finances over the next 12 months – the same percentage as in Q2 2024. However, optimism has declined from 58% in Q4 2024. The youngest consumers surveyed – Gen Z and Millennials – remain most optimistic about future finances, at 67% and 64%, respectively. The findings are derived from a survey of 2,998 American adults between May 1-12, 2025.

    “Since early April, there has been a marked increase in the level of uncertainty about future costs primarily due to the ongoing discussions about tariffs,” said Charlie Wise, senior vice president and head of global research and consulting at TransUnion. “While we’ve seen a rise in pessimism about future finances, it can’t be overstated that the same percentage of Americans are as optimistic about their future finances today as they were at this same time last year. We posit this is happening because of the continued strong employment picture and sustained wage gains. If you have a job and feel like you’re likely to get some form of pay increase over the next year, then you also will likely be able to manage through most possible scenarios for increases in the costs of goods and services.”

    *Q2 2025 is the first time this question was included in the Consumer Pulse study.

    Impact of Tariff Concerns on Credit Market

    Nearly nine in 10 Americans (87%) reported some level of concern about the impact of current or possible tariffs on their household finances; 41% said they were very concerned. To that end, the Consumer Pulse study found that consumers now have an increasing interest in securing credit products.

    Of those consumers who were very concerned about tariffs, 37% planned to apply for new credit or refinance existing credit in the next year, a higher rate than all others (30%) who planned the same. Liquidity credit products which provide access to cash, including credit cards and personal loans, appeared to be a greater preference for those who are tariff concerned. Specifically, this group is interested in increasing available credit on existing credit cards, applying for a personal loan and using buy now, pay later payment services.

    “When there is uncertainty in the market, this often results in consumers seeking new credit to ensure they are prepared for any future financial hurdles. While it’s not clear just how much of an impact tariffs will have on consumer wallets, it is clear that those consumers who are most concerned about them are more likely to be preparing for the future through myriad credit options,” said Wise.

    Recession Fears Return, But are Consumers Simply in ‘Rinse and Repeat’ Mode?

    While inflation continues to be the top financial concern of Americans – 81% ranked it as a Top 3 concern in the next 12 months – there was a pronounced increase in fears of a recession. This metric jumped seven percentage points from Q2 2024 with 52% saying it was in their Top 3 financial concerns over the next 12 months — its highest level in two years. In Q4 2024, fears of a recession stood at 43%.

    While recession anxieties are growing, Americans were even more worried two years ago, when 53% of respondents rated it as one of their Top 3 concerns. At that time, 75% of Q2 2023 Consumer Pulse study respondents said they believed the country would be in a recession by the end of 2023. In comparison, 72% of this quarter’s respondents believe there will be a recession by the end of 2025. No recession ever occurred in 2023 or has over the ensuing two years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

    “Fears of a recession should never be discounted. However, history has a way of repeating itself. To this end, consumers are being pragmatic and considering the news of the day. As tariff discussions bring uncertainty, so do increased fears of economic setbacks. Yet, just like we saw in the second quarter of 2023, there are a lot of positives about the economy and the consumer credit market at-large. One thing is certain – we should expect to see more shifts in consumer sentiment in the coming months,” concluded Wise.

    WISDOMTREE MULTI ASSET ISSUER PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
    (a public company incorporated with limited liability in Ireland) WISDOMTREE Brent Crude Oil 3X Daily Short SECURITIES ISIN: IE00BLRPRK35

    PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE AFFECTED SECURITIES MEETING OF THE ETP SECURITYHOLDERS

    THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in

    any doubt about what action you should take, you are recommended to consult your independent financial adviser.

    NOTICE is hereby given that, pursuant to the provisions of the trust deed dated 30 November 2012 (as amended) constituting (inter alia) the WisdomTree Brent Crude Oil 3X Daily Short Securities (the “Affected Securities”) and made between (1) WisdomTree Multi Asset Issuer Public Limited Company (the “Issuer”), (2) The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the “Trustee”) and (3) WisdomTree Multi Asset Management Limited (the “Manager”), a meeting of the holders of the Affected Securities (the “Affected Securities Holders”), convened by the Issuer, will be held at the offices of Apex IFS Limited in 2nd Floor, Block 5, Irish Life Centre, Abbey Street Lower, Dublin 1, D01P767, Ireland on Friday 11 July 2025 at 11 a.m. local time (the “Meeting”).

    The Meeting is being held to consider certain amendments, made under the powers set out in clause 2 of schedule 7 of the master trust deed of the Affected Securities, to documentation required to effect a reduction in the principal amount of the Affected Securities from USD
    0.114 to USD 0.0114. This follows the price of the Affected Securities falling below 500 per cent of its current principal amount on Friday 13 June 2025 (the “Threshold Event Date”).

    In a scenario where the vote does not pass, if the price then falls below 200% of the principal amount on or after 60 days from the Threshold Event Date, then a compulsory redemption event will be triggered and the Issuer will be required to compulsorily redeem all Affected Securities Holders.

    In order to maintain the normal trading and operations of the Affected Securities and to avoid a compulsory redemption event being triggered, the Issuer considers that the principal amount of the Affected Securities should be reduced.

    The reduction in the principal amount will not affect the price of the Affected Securities as the price is calculated by reference to the underlying index and not to the principal amount of the Affected Securities.

    It is important to note that:

    • The reduction of the principal amount of the Affected Securities does NOT dilute an Affected Securities Holder’s holding or reduce the value of an Affected Securities Holder’s holding.
    • The reduction of the principal amount does NOT negatively impact the ability of the investor to trade the Affected Securities.
    • The reduction of the principal amount does NOT affect the amount an Affected Securities Holder would, in practice, receive on redemption of the Affected Securities.

    Affected Securities Holders may also access the notification, including the circular, on the website of the Issuer, at
    https://www.wisdomtree.eu/en-gb/resource-library/prospectus-and-regulatory-reports#tab- 2A942D42-5AA1-4008-9080-3C2DADB050A7

    Holders of the Affected Securities are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold their Affected Securities when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a holder of Affected Securities in order for such holder of Affected Securities to participate in the Meeting by the deadlines specified in this circular. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each ICSD for the submission instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified in this circular.

    In relation to the delivery instructions or obtaining voting certificates or otherwise making arrangements for the giving of voting instructions, in each case through the ICSDs, holders of the Affected Securities should note the particular practice and policy of the relevant ICSDs, including any earlier deadlines set by such ICSD. The deadlines set by any intermediary or by the ICSDs will be earlier than the deadlines set out in this circular.

    Affected Securities Holders will be notified of the outcome of the Meeting shortly thereafter.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Presale Gains Strong Momentum Ahead of Upcoming Exchange Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about names in crypto as its presale crosses a major milestone — over 11,500 investors and $5 million raised. With just under 7 weeks left before the token hits major exchanges, investor confidence is surging in this next-gen blockchain project designed for scalability, accessibility, and real-world use.

    Introducing Bitcoin Solaris: Speed, Scalability, and Smart Design

    Bitcoin Solaris operates on a hybrid dual-layer model, combining Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to deliver exceptional speed and network integrity. Its features include

    • Up to 100,000 TPS with just a 2-second finality
    • SHA-256 compatibility for existing Bitcoin hardware
    • Dynamic validator rotation with slashing to keep the network clean
    • Cross-layer integrity anchored by PoW-based synchronization
    • Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Byzantine Fault Tolerance for maximum security

    And it’s not just whitepaper promises. The system is fully audited by Cyberscope and Freshcoins, reinforcing what early users are already saying: this blockchain was built to last.

    The New Mining Standard Is Mobile and It’s Real

    With mobile mining via BTC-S, users get:

    • One-click setup
    • Intelligent device adaptation
    • Energy-efficient algorithms
    • Integrated secure wallet and dashboard

    It’s no surprise that a detailed review by Crypto Legends highlighted Bitcoin Solaris as “the most exciting crypto play of the year,” noting its universal access and high-performance design.

    Real Rewards, Real Wealth Creation

    Bitcoin Solaris pays out through direct contribution-based rewards. Here’s how the network distributes earnings:

    • 40% to Base Layer miners
    • 25% to Solaris Layer validators
    • 20% to long-term BTC-S holders
    • 10% to development
    • 5% to community initiatives

    Reward values are optimized by:

    • Device contribution score
    • Network demand at the time of processing
    • Time-weighted participation
    • Complexity of validated tasks

    This isn’t just another inflationary token economy. It’s a calibrated wealth machine, delivering value where it’s earned.

    A Presale Surge No One Can Ignore

    With 11,500+ participants and counting, the Bitcoin Solaris presale has shattered expectations.

    • Current Price: $8
    • Next Price: $9
    • Launch Price: $20
    • Bonus: 8%
    • Total Raised: $5M+

    And there’s less than 7 weeks left to get in before it hits exchanges. If you missed Ethereum at $10 or Bitcoin before $1, Bitcoin Solaris might just be your redemption arc.

    Final Verdict

    Bitcoin Solaris is charging ahead with the kind of momentum altcoins dream of. Massive throughput. Mobile-first mining. Fair rewards. And a community growing by the thousands.

    11,500+ investors have already made their move. What are you waiting for ?

    This is more than a presale — it’s a movement. With infrastructure built for speed, rewards based on contribution, and a global user base already forming, Bitcoin Solaris is positioned for a powerful launch.

  • MIL-OSI: Aterian Expands Omnichannel Reach with Product Launches on Temu

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • ACQUISITION INCREASES ORMAT’S ELECTRICTY SEGMENT GENERATING PORTFOLIO TO 1,268MW
    • POTENTIAL TO UNLOCK ADDITIONAL VALUE THROUGH EXPECTED PPA RENEWAL AND ASSET UPGRADES

    RENO, Nev., June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA), (the “Company” or “Ormat”), a leading geothermal and renewable energy company, announced today that it has closed its previously disclosed acquisition of the Blue Mountain geothermal power plant from Cyrq Energy. Under the agreement, Ormat paid $88 million for 100% of the equity interest in the 20MW power plant.

    The Blue Mountain geothermal power plant is located in Nevada and was originally built with Ormat technology. The 20mw geothermal plant currently delivers power under a PPA with NV Energy (“NVE”), which is set to expire at the end of 2029. As part of the Company’s generation capacity growth strategy, Ormat plans to upgrade the power plant and increase its capacity by approximately 3.5MW. Ormat’s strategic expansion plans also include the proposed addition of a 13MW solar facility to support the power plant’s auxiliaries, pending permit and PPA approval. The overall transaction was funded through bank debt.

    Doron Blachar, Chief Executive Officer of Ormat Technologies, said, “The acquisition of the Blue Mountain geothermal power plant enhances our portfolio and reinforces our commitment to sustainable base-load energy solutions. This acquisition not only immediately increases our generating capacity but also provides the potential for a significant upside in revenue generation through our planned upgrades and the potential addition of a solar facility. We are excited about the opportunities this acquisition brings, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with NV Energy as we deliver reliable and clean energy to the people of Nevada.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Supporting Immigrant New Yorkers

    Source: US State of New York

    esterday, Governor Kathy Hochul visited Brooklyn’s Little Haiti neighborhood to visit community leaders and discuss the impact of President Trump’s policies on the Haitian-American community.

    PHOTOS of the meeting are available on the Governor’s Flickr page.

    “With the Statue of Liberty in our harbor, New York has always welcomed immigrants who come to this country seeking a better life. That’s especially true for our Haitian American community who have become a large, vibrant part of New York’s culture and civic life. Haitian American leaders have opened small businesses, provided essential healthcare as front line workers, produced extraordinary arts and culture, and served at the highest levels of elected office. These are our fellow Americans — and our fellow New Yorkers,” said Governor Hochul. We know the Haitian American community has been under attack by cynical political leaders. Haiti has been characterized in ways that are too vile to put in writing, and politicians have spread false rumors about Haitian Americans in Ohio. Now, the federal government is banning travel between Haiti and the United States, cutting hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers off from their loved ones and family. As leaders of the Empire State, we stand united against this outrageous travel ban. The ban is cruel and does nothing to make us safer. Instead of doubling down on hate, New York will continue our efforts to lift up the Haitian American community with support and resources to ensure their safety and well-being. We stand united in the face of this bigotry, and we will not back down.”

    Assemblymember Michaelle C. Solages, Chair of the NYS Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus said, “This policy is not rooted in national security. It is rooted in racism, xenophobia, and a cruel desire to slam the door on families fleeing hardship. As the first person of Haitian descent elected to the New York State Legislature, this is deeply personal. I understand what our community has faced and continues to endure. Haitian New Yorkers are caregivers, small business owners, students, faith leaders, and essential workers who contribute to our economy and enrich New York every day. Banning Haitians and others from entering the United States under the guise of safety is not only wrong, it is a stain on our nation’s moral fabric. We cannot allow fear and bigotry to dictate immigration policy. We must reject this shameful act and continue fighting for an immigration system that reflects compassion and human dignity.”

    Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn said, “New York has always been a welcoming beacon for immigrant communities to build a better life. The President’s inhumane and xenophobic policy banning citizens from 12 countries – including Haiti – from entry and travel to the U.S. is not only unjust — it causes real harm by cutting families off from their loved ones in a time of dire crisis. Further, the sudden, blatantly racist ban targets millions who have legally called our nation and state home, and will wreak havoc on our economy while causing dangerous discord for our nation that is built on the backs of immigrants. As the first Haitian-American State Legislator elected to represent NYC, I resolutely stand with Governor Hochul in opposition. In the face of xenophobic rhetoric and harmful policies that unfairly target Haitians, and the Black and brown immigrants from 11 nations, New York must, and will, lead with compassion, strength, and resolve.”

    Assemblymember Clyde Vanel said, “Policies like these serve only to further isolate Haiti and its people during a time when international support is most needed. Thousands of constituents in my district, including myself, have close relatives in Haiti. This ban will do nothing except to make unifying families and visiting loved ones next to impossible. It will also further worsen the humanitarian crisis already occurring in Haiti.”

    Councilmember Farah N. Louis said, “The decision to impose travel restrictions on 12 countries represents a despicable and deeply troubling moment for our community. Haiti is once again being unfairly targeted in an intentional attack on our identity, dignity, and humanity. I commend Governor Hochul for standing with Haitian New Yorkers and reaffirming that our state will not be complicit in cruelty. New York’s leaders are showing the country what it means to protect all people, regardless of nationality or status. I will continue to join efforts to safeguard our community, uplift Haitian voices, and fight back against federal policies rooted in discrimination and fear.”

    Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse said, “As a proud Haitian-American, I stand with my community and Governor Hochul in opposing the federal travel ban that will only deepen the suffering of those already facing unimaginable challenges. Haiti is in the midst of a devastating crisis, and for many, the United States represents their last hope for safety, medical care, and a better life. By cutting off access to this lifeline, the federal government is turning its back on the Haitian people, and also disregarding the very values that define this nation, compassion, humanity, and support for those in need.”

  • MIL-OSI Security: Convicted Felon Who Attempted To Sell Assault Rifle Sentenced To 92 Months In Federal Prison For Unlawful Firearm Possession

    Source: United States Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

    SAN FRANCISCO – Timothy Demetrius Jeffrey, aka “Boo,” 44, of Antioch, Calif., was sentenced today to 92 months in federal prison, following his conviction on March 12, 2025, by a federal jury on two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Senior U.S. District Judge William H. Alsup handed down the sentence. Judge Alsup also sentenced Jeffrey to concurrent 24-month terms for violating the terms of his supervised release in two other federal cases.

    According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, on April 25, 2023, Jeffrey drove into a shopping plaza parking lot in Pittsburg, Calif., parked, and fled on foot from a pursuing police officer. Jeffrey threw a Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol with an extended magazine and 19 rounds of ammunition over a fence behind the shopping plaza before he was arrested.

    Jeffrey posted bond after his arrest but absconded soon thereafter. Following an investigation by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Marshals Service, law enforcement officers located Jeffrey at a relative’s home in Antioch on March 27, 2024. After U.S. Marshals arrested Jeffrey, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at the residence, where deputies located and seized an Aero Precision AR-style rifle with a magazine and 25 rounds of ammunition from under a couch in the living room. They also seized a cell phone that had been used by Jeffrey. The phone contained multiple text messages in which Jeffrey attempted to sell the AR rifle and sent a photo of it.

    At the time of his April 2023 and March 2024 arrests, Jeffrey was on federal supervised release following past felony convictions for being a felon-in-possession of a firearm, escape from custody, and conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

    Judge Alsup also found that enhancements were appropriate under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines (i) due to Jeffrey’s obstruction of justice resulting from perjury during his trial testimony; and (ii) because one of the guns Jeffrey possessed had previously been stolen.

    United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Buenaventura made the announcement.

    This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department of Justice launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Aseem Padukone prosecuted this case with the assistance of Claudia Hyslop, Nina Burney, and Yenni Weinberg. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the ATF, the United States Marshals Service, the Pittsburg Police Department, and the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office.

    NORFOLK, Va. – A Chesapeake man was sentenced today to 18 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and possessing a firearm during and in relation to a drug-trafficking crime.

    According to court documents, on Feb. 10, 2024, Chesapeake Police officers were attempting to serve arrest warrants for assault and battery of a family or household member and destruction of property on Abdul-Wakeel Khabeer Qaabid, aka Kenneth Andrew Jordan, 39. Qaabid fled during a traffic stop, but crashed his vehicle and fled on foot. From Qaabid’s vehicle, investigators recovered two loaded handguns, five ounces of cocaine base, 43 grams of marijuana, $25,020, and three cellular devices. During a search of Qaabid’s residence, investigators recovered over six kilograms of cocaine, packaging materials, .45 caliber ammunition, and $26,900 in drug proceeds.

    Qaabid was arrested on March 13, 2024, at a residence in Chesapeake. During a search of that residence, CPD recovered an additional $11,850 in drug proceeds.

    Qaabid previously had been convicted for attempted capital murder, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and felony assault and battery. As a previously convicted felon, Qaabid cannot legally possess firearms or ammunition.

    Erik S. Siebert, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Anthony A. Spotswood, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Washington Field Division; and Mark G. Solesky, Chief of Chesapeake Police, made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristin G. Bird prosecuted the case.

    This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

  • MIL-OSI China: China to allow qualified foreign investors to trade on-exchange ETF options

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, June 18 — China will allow qualified foreign investors to participate in on-exchange exchange-traded fund (ETF) options trading from Oct. 9 this year for hedging purposes only, the country’s top securities regulator said on Wednesday.

    The move aims to expand the range of investable assets for qualified foreign investors, and to enable foreign institutional investors — particularly those focused on portfolio allocation — to access risk-management tools that align with their investment needs, according to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).

    It is expected to foster more stable investment by foreign institutional investors, and to support their long-term participation in China’s A-share market, the regulator said.

    Since the beginning of this year, the CSRC has gradually eased restrictions on qualified foreign investors’ access to domestic commodity futures, commodity options and ETF options.

    Going forward, the regulator said it will roll out further reform measures to improve the qualified foreign investor scheme, and do more to promote the high-standard institutional opening-up of the country’s capital market.

    China’s top political advisor Wang Huning on Wednesday stressed the need to deepen research on the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, highlighting its crucial role in advancing Chinese modernization.

    Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks during a symposium where the central committees of some non-CPC parties presented their research outcomes.

    Wang said that promoting the integration of sci-tech innovation with industrial innovation is conducive to fostering new quality productive forces, advancing high-quality development, and building an innovative country.

    Efforts should be made to deepen research on the challenges in advancing sci-tech and industrial innovation, and on bottlenecks in policy implementation, Wang said.

    He emphasized the importance of high-quality research to support Party and government decision-making, and called for efforts to advance the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy and accelerate the building of an innovative country.

    During the symposium, leaders of the central committees of five non-CPC parties provided their respective suggestions on topics such as accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, advancing the digital transformation of the manufacturing sector, and promoting high-standard opening up.

  • MIL-OSI China: G7 summit ends in disputes

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    The Group of Seven (G7) summit wrapped up in Canada on Tuesday with no joint communique but some stark frictions.

    Several statements, or the leaders’ commitments, were issued after the summit, which included driving secure, responsible and trustworthy AI adoption across public and private sectors, powering AI now and into the future, and closing digital divides; boosting cooperation to unlock the full potential of quantum technology to grow economies, solve global challenges and keep communities secure.

    The attendees also committed to mounting a multilateral effort to better prevent, fight and recover from wildfires, which are on the rise around the world; protecting the rights of everyone in society, and the fundamental principle of state sovereignty, by continuing to combat foreign interference, with a focus on transnational repression; and countering migrant smuggling by dismantling transnational organized crime groups.

    In his final remarks at the closing news conference, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that the discussions over the past two days were marked by a range of differing opinions, frank conversations and strategic exchanges.

    “There is a great amount of direct dialogue and discussion, very frank exchanges, very strategic exchanges, differences of opinion on a number of issues, but an effort to find common solutions to some of these problems,” said Carney, also chair of this year’s summit.

    He said this is particularly valuable “at a time when multilateralism is under great strain.”

    There was no joint statement on Ukraine, although Carney announced new Canadian support for Ukraine’s defense and another set of sanctions on Russia. Carney invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend the event in person and made support for the country one of the summit’s key discussion topics on Tuesday.

    Leaders met for the final day of the summit in Kananaskis in Canada’s province of Alberta without U.S. President Donald Trump, who suddenly left Canada on Monday night, saying that escalations in the Middle East forced his early exit from the G7 event.

    As he left, the summit published a statement that the resolution of the Iranian crisis can lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, even a ceasefire in Gaza.

    The remaining G7 leaders had a working lunch with visiting non-G7 leaders on energy security. In the statement, the leaders said that they remain vigilant to the implications of the Iran-Israel aerial conflict for international energy markets and that they will stand ready to coordinate to safeguard market stability.

    Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in downtown Calgary and Banff during the summit, calling on the summit to address a variety of issues, including Trump’s threat to annex Canada.

    Originally scheduled to begin on the weekend, the summit was shortened to two days and officially started on Monday.

    French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday that next year’s summit will take place in Evian, a French spa town known for its mineral water.

    The G7 is an informal bloc comprising seven of the world’s advanced economies — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the United States — along with the European Union.

    The Czech National Bank (CNB) is issuing a CZK 200 commemorative silver coin to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the famous female figurine in Dolní Věstonice – the Venus of Dolní Věstonice. The coin will go on sale on 18 June 2025.

    The design of the new coin was chosen in an art competition. At the recommendation of an expert committee, the CNB Bank Board selected the design submitted by Majka Wichnerová. Petr Neruda, head of the Anthropos Institute of the Moravian Museum in Brno, acted as the expert advisor to the committee.

    The CZK 200 coin depicts one of the world’s most precious and best-known archaeological discoveries from both sides. The obverse side of the coin features the Venus of Dolní Věstonice from behind and the landscape of the Pavlov Hills. The reverse side depicts a landscape with two mammoths, and the Venus of Dolní Věstonice from the front.

    “The Venus of Dolní Věstonice is one of the most important works of art from the Palaeolithic, the oldest ceramic figurine in the world and a symbol of Czech and global cultural heritage. The commemorative coin marks 100 years since its discovery in Dolní Věstonice, which significantly deepened our understanding of the spiritual life and technological development of prehistoric societies,” said CNB Bank Board member Karina Kubelková.

    The CNB is issuing a total of 18,300 coins: 6,400 in normal quality and 11,900 in proof quality. The coin is minted from an alloy containing 925 parts silver and 75 parts copper. It weighs 13 grams and has a diameter of 31 mm. It is issued in two versions, normal quality and proof quality. Proof-quality coins have a polished field and a matt relief.

    The coin’s denomination of CZK 200 does not equal the sale price, which is higher and reflects, among other things, the current price of silver, production costs and VAT. The coins were minted by Česká mincovna, a. s., in Jablonec nad Nisou and are available for purchase from selected contractual partners. The CNB does not sell numismatic material directly to the public.

    The commemorative coin to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Venus of Dolní Věstonice is the second CZK 200 silver coin issued by the CNB this year. A coin marking 200 years since the establishment of Czech savings bank – Böhmische Sparkasse was issued in February. The next CZK 200 coin will be issued in October, marking 900 years since the death of the chronicler Cosmas. Other silver coins to be issued by the CNB this year include a CZK 100 coin from the Institutions of the Czech Republic series featuring the Customs Administration.  A few days ago, the CNB issued a CZK 500 coin featuring the Aero L-39 Albatros jet trainer. Two more gold coins will be issued this year: a CZK 5,000 featuring the town of Tábor and an extraordinary CZK 10,000 gold coin weighing one troy ounce and marking 1,100 years since the start of the reign of Wenceslas I, Duke of Bohemia.

    The whole schedule of issuance of coins and banknotes for the period 2021–2025, as well as for the following period 2026–2030 is available on the CNB website.

    Venus of Dolní Věstonice

    The Venus of Dolní Věstonice is one of the world’s most important works of art from the Palaeolithic (Old Stone Age). It is 27,000 to 29,000 years old and was created during the age of mammoth hunters. A high degree of technological knowledge is attributed to this culture. Besides the production of stone tools made of flint, they also processed bones, antlers and mammoth ivory, which they used not only for tools and weapons, but also for decorative and artistic items.

    The ceramic figurine of the Venus fits in one’s palm – its height is 11.5 cm, width 4.4 cm and thickness 2.8 cm. It was discovered by a team of archaeologists led by Professor Karel Absolon at a site in Dolní Věstonice in South Moravia in July 1925. It is currently housed in the collections of the Anthropos Institute of the Moravian Museum in Brno.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: ASIA/PHILIPPINES – Impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte: Catholics are guided by the spirit of the “Oratio imperata”

    Archdiocese of Manila

    Manila (Agenzia Fides) – ” “There has been and continues to be a heated debate in the country following the postponement, in the Senate, of the vote on the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte. Public opinion seems to be divided. As an ecclesial community, following these political developments, we can affirm that our compass remains the common good. And the spirit with which we observe and assess this situation is that of the “Oratio Imperata” that we recited in Manila before the elections,” Father Esteban Lo, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the Philippines, told Fides.In that moment before the elections, Cardinal José Advincula, Archbishop of Manila, invited the faithful “to be open to a constant conversion toward truth, justice, and peace.” Father Lo recalls several passages from the Oratio Imperata, in which one asks God: “Guide our nation in this time of crisis”; “Let the light of truth shine to guide us on the path to unity and peace”; “Let justice prevail and pave the way to healing and reconciliation.”Last February, the House of Representatives initiated impeachment proceedings against Sara Duterte on charges of embezzlement, bribery, and corruption with 215 of 306 votes. For the proceedings to proceed, the Senate must also vote on the matter.Following the May 12 elections and the new composition of the Senate, a special impeachment court was established in the Assembly to consider the case and potentially conduct the trial of Vice President Duterte. However, on June 10, senators voted to refer the complaints to the House of Representatives for legal and procedural reasons, sparking protests from activists and public discontent. The spokesperson for the Senate impeachment tribunal, attorney Regie Tongol, rejected accusations of “buying time” and explained the necessary steps: the formal organization of the tribunal, the adoption of procedural rules, the issuance of a mandate to the House to resolve jurisdictional issues, the formal summons of Duterte, and the receipt of his defense attorneys and receiving the formal summons from the defense attorneys. At this stage, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, through a message signed by its president, Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, urged the Senate to act, recalling that this is “a constitutional duty, not a political choice.” According to the statement, the Church’s intervention does not respond to partisan interests, but is rooted in Catholic social teaching, “which upholds truth, justice, and the common good.” “The pursuit of truth is not a political option; it is a moral imperative. Let your conscience guide your actions. Let the truth take its course,” the statement reads.The Archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, Socrates Villegas, also warned that delaying the impeachment process “not only constitutes a political, moral, and spiritual failure on the part of public officials, but also a grave sin of omission against the common good,” as it violates truth, justice, and the right of citizens to demand accountability.The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), the largest network of Catholic educational institutions in the country, has joined the call, urging the Senate not to delay the process, which it called “a constitutional, moral, and democratic imperative.” (PA) (Agenzia Fides, 18/6/2025)

    Wednesday, 18 June 2025

    Minna (Agenzia Fides) – “What happened in Makurdi is truly horrible,” said the Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Minna, Luka Sylvester Gopep, to Fides, in a commentary on the massacre that occurred on the night of June 13-14 in Benue State (see Fides, 16/6/2025).Speaking to Fides, Bishop Gopep does not hide his deep sadness when speaking of this tragic, umpteenth episode of violence that has struck the country.”It is inexplicable that such cruelty was inflicted on hundreds of people. It is difficult to understand why the Fulani herdsmen who perpetrated the massacre acted in this way,” said Bishop Gopep. “The fact is that Makurdi is a predominantly Christian area, and the Fulani nomads are predominantly Muslims from the northern part of the country, while Makurdi is located in the center of the Country. The Diocese of Minna in Niger State lies between two dioceses before reaching Makurdi: the Archdiocese of Abuja and the Diocese of Lafiya. Last May 29, the area of Minna was hit by severe floods that left more than 200 dead and thousands displaced, including more than 1,000 children.”The prelate also announced that Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu, President of Nigeria since May 29, 2023, is expected in Makurdi today, June 18, 2025.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: AFRICA/SUDAN – Is Sudan moving toward partition?

    Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

    Wednesday, 18 June 2025

    Khartoum (Agenzia Fides) – Is Sudan heading toward a de facto partition? This is the question several regional analysts are asking following the takeover of the so-called “border triangle” between Sudan, Libya, and Egypt by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti.According to the regular armed forces (Sudan Armed Forces, SAF) under the command of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the RSF’s conquest of the tri-border area was facilitated by the help of General Khalifa Haftar, head of the Libyan National Army (LNA), the Benghazi-based Libyan faction that controls Cyrenaica and opposes the Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli. Control of this important border region between Sudan and Libya makes it possible to manage legal and illegal trade (especially gold) and to supply RSF troops across the Libyan border. After being expelled from the capital Khartoum, the RSF leadership intends to concentrate its forces in western Sudan, in Darfur and Kordofan (see Fides, 11/6/2025). By creating a secure supply and trade route, Dagalo aims to establish its own administration in its stronghold of Darfur. In recent months, Dagalo has already announced the formation of an alternative government to the one led by General al-Burhan (see Fides, 19/2/2025 and Fides 16/4/2025).The conflict between Sudanese factions has also taken on an ideological and international dimension. To help the RSF control the tri-border area, General Haftar has deployed the “Subul al-Salam” brigade, an armed Salafist group that opposes the political Islam represented by the Muslim Brotherhood. This trend is frowned upon by the United Arab Emirates, which has supported both Haftar and the RSF. In its strategy to curb the Muslim Brotherhood, the Emirates appears willing to ally, albeit indirectly, with Salafi groups with strong tribal roots, such as the Subul al-Salam Brigade, made up of members of the Zuwaya tribe. The SAF, under the leadership of General Buran, was able to recapture Khartoum and other areas largely thanks to the newly formed ‘Hunter Force’, a special elite unit composed, among others, of Islamist elements with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. The external influences in the Sudanese civil war are finally demonstrated by the “drone war” (see Fides, 16/5/2025), in which the RSF uses armed Chinese-made drones supplied by the Emirates, as well as Turkish army drones supplied by Ankara, which supports General Buran.

  • German minister to Iran: never too late to negotiate

    Germany’s foreign minister appealed to Iran’s leaders to make credible assurances that it is not seeking a nuclear weapon and to show it is willing to find a negotiated solution as fears mount of further military escalation between Iran and Israel.

    “We are still ready to negotiate a solution. However, Iran must act urgently … it is never too late to come to the negotiating table if one comes with sincere intentions,” Johann Wadephul said at a news conference with his Jordanian counterpart on Wednesday.

    Wadephul said Israel’s fear that Iran would develop nuclear weapons was justified and it had a right to self-defence.

    “The Israeli decision to do something against this threat is comprehensible,” he said, adding civilian deaths on both sides were regrettable after air attacks between Iran and Israel.

    His ministry was arranging special flights later on Wednesday and on Thursday to each repatriate about 180 German citizens via Amman, he said.

    Wadephul also said Germany had agreed to create an economic council with Syria to improve cooperation and boost prosperity and stability there.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Witness appeal launched after murder in Camden

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the murder of a woman in Camden.

    Officers were called by the London Ambulance Service at 18:00hrs on Friday, 13 June to a report of an unresponsive woman at her home in Mornington Place, Camden.

    Officers attended and found a woman with stab injuries. She was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

    She has been identified as 69-year-old Jennifer Abbott. Known professionally as Sarah Steinberg, Jennifer was a popular member of the community. She was often seen walking her Corgi dog in the Camden area, including on Tuesday, 10 June when she was last seen by neighbours.

    A post-mortem examination took place on Sunday, 15 June and gave cause of death as sharp force trauma.

    Officers also carried out a number of enquiries alongside the PM. Details of which meant that it is now appropriate to issue information about the incident and the appeal.

    While detectives are keeping an open mind about the possible motive for the murder, they are appealing in particular for information about a Rolex watch which they believe is missing from Jennifer’s address.

    It has a distinctive diamond encrusted face.

    Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart, who leads policing in Camden, said: “We are working closely with our colleagues in the homicide team to establish exactly what happened and it’s incredibly important that we hear from anyone who may have knowledge about how this awful death occurred.

    “Were you out in Camden on Friday? Perhaps you had been coming home from work, or at an event nearby? Did you see or hear anything around Mornington Place that struck you as being unusual?

    “Someone must have seen or heard something and no piece of information is too small. It could be the crucial clue that leads us to identify Jennifer’s murderer.

    “Extra patrols continue in the area while my officers remain at the crime scene. I would urge anyone who has any information, or who may be worried, to speak to them.”

    There have been no arrests at this stage.

    Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or message @MetCC on X, giving the reference 6470/13JUN. Information, including photos or videos, can also be easily uploaded to our dedicated appeal page.

    Alternatively you can speak anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/.
