    Lima (Agenzia Fides) – A delegation from the Argentine Bishops’ Conference, sent to Peru on behalf of the National Team of the Amazon Project, aims to support the proclamation of the Gospel, provide assistance in addressing material and spiritual challenges, and accompany the local missionary community. The delegation is composed of lay missionary Silvana Medina and priest Carlos Salomone, who collaborate with the permanent pastoral mission in the southern region of the Apurimac, Ene, and Mantaro river valleys in Peru, which is being carried out in the districts of Kimbiri, Manitea, Cielo Punko, Villa Kintiarina, and Villa Virgen, in continuity with the missionary work already begun in these areas.”Argentine Church, the Amazon is your mission” is the project that has supported the pastoral work of the parish of San Juan Bautista in the Kimbiri district, part of the Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Maldonado, since 2022. The Apostolic Vicar of Puerto Maldonado, Bishop David Martínez de Aguirre Guinea, supports the initiative, which aims to renew the missionary spirit and strengthen the bond between the local Church and the teams sent.There are more than 150 settlements of various types in the area, from groups concentrated in urban centers to indigenous communities of the Asháninka and Machiguenga ethnic groups, who live a path of faith and fraternity in their daily lives. The missionaries aim to accompany the growth of the ecclesial spirit of a vibrant parish, animated by a strong sense of synodal co-responsibility and attentive to the needs of all. Currently, four Argentine missionaries live in the parish: a religious, a consecrated lay woman, and two lay missionaries. A married couple will join them in August. During her stay in Lima, Silvana Medina was also warmly welcomed by Father José Hipólito, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Peru, and his collaborators.

    BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — Two tourist charters from Khabarovsk and Vladivostok landed safely in Yantai City, east China’s Shandong Province, on July 12.

    According to the Yantai City Culture and Tourism Administration, after the planes landed at Penglai International Airport, a welcoming ceremony was held for the Russian tourists who had planned to spend their summer vacation in the Chinese city.

    The new Vladivostok-Yantai charter route is the second direct tourist airline with Russia opened by the city after the launch of the Khabarovsk-Yantai flight in 2024.

    It is reported that 20 inbound tourism charter flights are planned between Khabarovsk/Vladivostok and Yantai from July 12 to September 13, 2025, which will not only provide Russian tourists with more convenient transportation options, but also give new impetus to the Yantai inbound tourism market, deepening cultural and tourism exchanges and cooperation between China and Russia.

    The launch of the airlines has become an important achievement for Yantai in using the visa-free transit policy and actively expanding the international tourism market. The new charter flights not only provide Russian guests with a rich holiday on the Chinese coast, but also create new opportunities to improve Yantai’s global rating and promote high-quality development of the local cultural and tourism industry. -0-

    Monasao (Agenzia Fides) – “When I was preparing to go to Africa, I was warned of the difficulties I would encounter… Not only due to the problems of adaptation: climate, food, or other minor issues, but also due to the culture shock that can lead to serious misunderstandings and disappointments,” said Father Davide Camorani, ordained a priest of the Society of African Missions in July 2021 and began his ministry at the Monasao mission in the Diocese of Berberati in Central Africa on September 21 of the same year (see Fides, 17/10/2021).Since then, Father Davide, who, together with his confrere Michele Farina, established the first mission of the Society of African Missions in the country (see Fides, 3/8/2021), has lived in the heart of Africa, among the Bayaka Pygmies. And every day he understands that the mission is the work of God.”Bishop de Brésillac, our founder,” the missionary continues, “said in one of his famous phrases that if one seeks praise or satisfaction, it is better to stay at home; those who seek these things are not made to go on missions. Sometimes, however, life can confront one with unexpected situations that one is tempted to perceive as too great, as beyond one’s capabilities. In these difficult moments, one might lose hope, give up, and say, ‘It’s not worth it!’ I, too, have experienced these thoughts… So where is hope? What is hope? Hope in what? Hope is God and his promises, from Adam to the present day. God is always there and he never abandons us: we only have to seek him!””Being guided by the Word of God is fundamental; for me, it was and is,” emphasizes Father Davide. “Reading the Bible and carefully meditating on it is the way to discover that God’s promises are eternally valid. This is hope: knowing that God will act, even when it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Knowing that this mission is His, not mine, and that He is in charge!!! So I don’t pray for the cross to be taken from me, but I pray that the Lord Jesus will give me broad shoulders to carry it.” (AP) (Agenzia Fides, 15/7/2025)

    The Plains will continue to be enlivened all summer long with free shows!


    Quebec City, Tuesday, July 15, 2025 –     After a short break during the Festival d’été de Québec, the Edwin-Bélanger Bandstand (EBB) will return to its summer program this Thursday! Every Thursday and Saturday for the rest of the summer until August 23, Quebec City’s residents and visitors are invited to come and experience free musical and cultural performances against the enchanting backdrop of the Plains of Abraham.

    Thursday, 7 p.m., Saguenay native Tom Folly will kick off the night with songs from his last album Fromage en grains. With his sincere words and a dose of humour, he will perform pieces from many genres: reggae, rock, rap, folk, pop, and even disco. At 8 p.m., Andréanne A. Malette will present Les jardins dérangés, a heartfelt performance of her latest folk-pop melodies. Through a personal narrative, she will explore the themes of healing, the present moment, and solidarity. 

    Saturday, 7 p.m., the ambiance will switch to the lively beat of Sabor 19. This orchestra of ten musicians, a popular fixture in Montreal’s Latin scene, is promising a festive evening with the sound of salsa and cumbia. In keeping with its celebratory spirit, the group has just one aim: get everyone up and dancing! A little earlier in the day, families will have a chance to discover Marimba et le djembé du tonnerre. The kids in the audience will be entertained with songs, amused by marionettes, and taught how to play percussion instruments.


    Diverse and accessible 

    The EBB stage will come alive with free shows and a variety of styles: country, Latin, rock, pop, Québécois, jazz, folk, and an encounter between Western music and traditional Indigenous music. There’ll be something for everyone! On the lineup are artists who will surprise you with the depth of their performances, including Duo Phoenix, Guylaine Tanguay, Yvan Pedneault, Génération Crooner, LBA Band, Coco Country Band, New World Men, Mike DeWay, Kawandak, Gabrielle Destroismaisons, and Patrick Norman & Nathalie Lord. 

    The program also includes two unique cultural events. On Wednesday, July 23, there will be a public lecture about the American attack on Quebec City in 1775: Quebec 1775-1776 – Le dernier siège (in French only). On Friday, August 22, The Regimental Band of the Royal 22e Régiment will offer an exceptional musical performance on stage, thanks to its diverse range of instruments and its unique brass section.


    Family morning shows 

    The Plains of Abraham and the EBB are known for being accessible and welcoming to all tastes and to all kinds of people. There will be four family shows on Saturdays, July 19 and 26 and August 9 and 16, starting at 11 a.m. (in French only). The kids will enjoy seeing and hearing Marimba et le djembé du tonnerre, L’orgue du Gentil Géant, Arthur L’aventurier and Le stagiaire de Monsieur Ben.

    For more program details: www.plainsofabraham.ca


    Extended business hours of the Maison Smith Café at the central pavilion 

    The Maison Smith Café has been on the Plains of Abraham for over a year, during which its selection of beverages and food has further enhanced the EBB experience. An aperitif on the central pavilion terrace, a picnic on the Plains with a lunchbox or a satisfying coffee in your hand—everything will be available for a heartwarming summer! This Maison Smith Café branch will be open for extended business hours during the shows.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: ASIA/PHILIPPINES – Supreme Court declares large-scale mining legal: civil society promotes “environmental justice”

    Mamburao (Agenzia Fides) – The Supreme Court’s recent decision to declare null and void the ordinances and resolutions of provincial governments that imposed a 25-year moratorium on mining activities in the province of Western Mindoro, on the island of the same name in the center of the Philippine archipelago, has sparked doubts and criticism in civil society and the Catholic community in the Philippines. The ruling, published on May 14 and which came into force a few days ago, upheld a 2018 ruling by the Mindoro Regional Court that had annulled the local government’s mining ban. The Supreme Court explained that, according to the Constitution, local governments can prohibit certain mining projects, but do not have the authority to prohibit all large-scale mining activities within the territory. The lawsuit before the court was filed by the Agusan Petroleum and Mineral Corporation (APMC), which signed contracts for large-scale mining activities with the central government in Manila in 2008. That same year, the provincial government of Western Mindoro, responding to civil society demands, issued ordinances imposing a moratorium on mining. The APMC had opposed these ordinances and challenged the constitutionality of these ordinances in court proceedings initiated in 2014. In its ruling, the Supreme Court recognized that mining activities have “environmental impacts,” but emphasized that contractors are obligated to comply with environmental protection measures established by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. According to the “Alyansa Tigil Mina” coalition, which includes organizations and groups committed to environmental protection and anti-mining, the ruling will have “significant repercussions” for the region. The coalition reiterated its commitment to a “balanced approach to biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development.” Bishop Moises Cuevas of the Apostolic Vicariate of Calapan in Eastern Mindoro (another province on the same island) said the ruling could set a legal precedent for the similar ordinance currently in force in Eastern Mindoro and “could have a destructive impact on our mission, expressed in the encyclical “Laudato si’,” which is to care for our common home.” The local Church held a “Forum for Dialogue on the Mindoro Mining Moratorium” on July 10, bringing together local representatives and communities to discuss what to do in the wake of the court’s ruling and proclaimed a day of prayer for environmental justice on the same day.At the forum, representatives of Catholic parishes, environmental and human rights organizations, and representatives of the provincial governments of both Mindoro provinces reiterated their opposition to large-scale mining. Father Edwin Gariguez, executive director of the Diocesan Social Action Center in Eastern Mindoro, described the fight against mining as “a moral and pastoral obligation” and recalled the profound impact on indigenous peoples. “The cry of the earth is the cry of the poor,” Father Gariguez said in this context, quoting the encyclical “Laudato Si’.” “This fight is not merely ecological or political, it is pastoral and moral. We are called to protect life in all its forms,” he affirmed. (PA) (Agenzia Fides, 15/7/2025)

    Auchi (Agenzia Fides) – A few days after the armed attack on the “Immaculate Conception” diocesan minor seminary in Ivhianokpodi, in Edo State, Nigeria (see Fides, 12/7/2025), the attackers who kidnapped three young seminarians “contacted the Diocese of Auchi and demanded a ransom.”The Bishop of Auchi, Gabriel Ghieakhomo Dunia, confirmed this to Fides, clarifying: “The seminarians are still in the hands of their kidnappers,” who in the last few hours “have contacted the Diocese of Auchi and are demanding a ransom. Negotiations are currently ongoing.””State Government and local security agents are working to track the abductors and get the abducted seminarians released but no success has been achieved yet,” Bishop Dunia continued. Regarding the condition of the other young seminarians who were at the facility at the time of the armed attack, in which a security guard was killed, he said: “the rest of the seminarians have been relocated by us to a safer location where they are completing their various examinations now before proceeding on the end of the academic year, 2024/2025 holiday.”The Ivhianokpodi Seminary was attacked by armed men on October 27, 2024 (see Fides, 29/10/2024). The Rector of the seminary, Fr. Thomas Oyode, was kidnapped after offering himself as a hostage in exchange for the young seminarians. Oyode was released after eleven days. (F.B.)

  • MIL-OSI Europe: ASIA/CHINA – “Wedding without a dowry”: the Chinese Catholic community promotes the gratuitousness of married life in a secularized society

    Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

    Tuesday, 15 July 2025

    xinde.org

    Taiyuan (Agenzia Fides) – Archbishop Meng Ningyou of Taiyuan, in the Chinese province of Shanxi, recommended in his homily at a church wedding last Sunday, July 13, that marriage, in the spirit of faith, be seen as a gift characterized by gratuitousness. He invited everyone to free themselves from the custom of demanding a “dowry” for marriage, which is still widespread in large parts of society.In the current social context, especially in rural areas, the practice of dowry (the assets in the form of money, real estate, jewelry, or cars that families of origin must provide to future spouses at the time of marriage) continues to be a burden for young future spouses and their families of origin, causing the union to break up for many young couples. Families often go into debt to comply with the custom.Bishop Meng praised the Honggou parish, the home parish of the two young couples, and also the newlyweds’ courage, who have testified that the Christian faith can free lives and hearts from unnecessary burdens and lead to true happiness.In his homily, Bishop Paul Meng recalled the sacrament of marriage as a union of free, mutual self-giving blessed by God and called on spouses to accept one another, support each other in the Christian upbringing of their children, and care for one another, following the example of the Good Samaritan, whose figure was the focus of Sunday’s Gospel.In China, too, various economic, cultural, and psychological factors are hindering the desire of young couples to start families and bring children into the world.Meanwhile, Chinese Catholic communities are offering Christian marriage preparation courses that take this situation into account and attempt to address these new challenges.The Cathedral of the Diocese of Beijing recently opened registration for the third 2025 Marriage Preparation Course, which begins next Sunday, July 20. Every Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., young people planning to marry will participate in meetings covering topics such as “the Christian family” and “the sacrament of marriage.” The courses generally begin six months before the planned wedding date and include discussions with priests. The courses are also open to non-Christian couples, who can attend as listeners. (NZ) (Agenzia Fides, 15/7/2025)

    RISK FACTORS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    This material must be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus. Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. Please read the prospectus before investing. The fund does not directly invest in the underlying stock.

    The Fund is recently organized July 15, 2025. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. There can be no assurance that the Funds will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

    The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The investment program of the funds is speculative, entails substantial risks and include asset classes and investment techniques not employed by most ETFs and mutual funds. Investments in the ETFs are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Underlying Stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Underlying Stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

    The Fund seeks daily leveraged investment results and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. This Fund attempts to provide daily investment results that correspond to the respective long leveraged multiple of the performance of its underlying stock (a Leverage Long Fund).

    Investors should note that such Leverage Long Fund pursues daily leveraged investment objectives, which means that the Fund is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund magnifies the performance of its underlying stock. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Funds’ return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security.

    Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of the Underlying Stock over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the Underlying Stock’s performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the Underlying Stock volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the Underlying Stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day.

    Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling ETF shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.

    An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with the Fund concentrating its investments in a particular industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps are subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. Risks of the Fund include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Leverage Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk, and risks specific to the securities of the Underlying Stock and the sector in which it operates. These and other risks can be found in the prospectus.

    This information is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Funds to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Please consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of an investment in Fund shares, including the possible application of foreign, state, and local tax laws. You could lose money by investing in the ETFs. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Funds will be achieved. None of the Funds should be relied upon as a complete investment program.

  • MIL-OSI: Research: Consumer Mobile Frustration Is Rising – And It’s Costing Brands

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ATLANTA, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fullstory, a leading behavioral data company, today unveiled findings from its 2025 Behavioral Insights Benchmark Report, analyzing year-over-year trends in user digital experience across platforms. This year’s data from 14 billion sessions across key sectors—retail, financial services, food and beverage, travel and hospitality, gambling and entertainment, software, and business services—shows a sharp rise in mobile user frustration, with more frequent pain points, early search abandonment, spikes in error, and rage clicks.

    Welcome to the ‘Frustration Economy’: Mobile is Becoming a Hotspot for User Friction 

    Emerging AI-driven interfaces have made user experience (UX) on mobile more complex, and today’s consumers are paying the price, with mobile error clicks surging 667% from 2024 to 2025. This increase in errors, combined with decreasing user patience, is revealing a critical shift in behavior as consumers want their mobile experiences to be personalized and fast. A clear sign of frustration is rage clicks, which increased drastically for mobile and desktop users. Specifically, food and beverage rose a staggering 673%, followed by business services (131%), financial services (85%), and retail (56%).

    Adding to the complexity, the report shows that mobile bounce rate rose 54%, with half of all mobile users exiting after just one page. Financial services saw the highest number of mobile bounce rates at 85%, followed by retail (64%), and food and beverage (13%). For travel brands, mobile bounce rates decreased by 10%.

    “Today’s consumers expect elevated, efficient digital experiences. These high expectations are a byproduct of consumers’ increasing exposure to sophisticated AI tools, putting pressure on brands to deliver exceptional experiences every single session,” said Adam Spisak, Chief Customer Officer at Fullstory. “Our data confirms that mobile interfaces aren’t keeping pace with the new set of expectations from consumers. This is a wake-up call for brands. As frustration builds and consumers encounter more issues, they will choose to pursue other options.”

    Mobile Users Linger Longer but Struggle More

    Across all sectors, mobile traffic is rising, but UX often lags. Errors, rage clicks, and abandonments are far more common on mobile, with users hitting dead ends in nearly every visit. Despite these challenges, mobile still presents opportunities, as brands seek to engage more often and for longer with consumers. In 2025, mobile session duration rose 332%, reaching an average of 15 minutes and 51 seconds (up from 3 minutes and 40 seconds in 2024). This opportunity to engage consumers for longer periods of time was most apparent for retailers, who saw a session duration increase of 442%, followed by food and beverage (156%), while entertainment saw a 14% decrease.

    However, the report revealed dead clicks – when users click on elements that don’t respond – remained high on mobile, averaging 929 per 1,000 sessions – a slight increase from 2024. This is further proof that businesses need to invest in technology that tests their user interface on both desktop and mobile, improving both in tandem.

    Desktop Experiences Are Stabilizing, Boosting User Confidence

    While the increase in error clicks on mobile (667%) is concerning, this report found that web error clicks on desktop dropped significantly by 68%, indicating desktop stability is trending in the right direction. This shows that ongoing user experience investments on desktop experiences are paying off.

    However, there are still opportunities for improvement, with error clicks increasing across several sectors. Food and beverage reported the highest rates of error clicks on desktop at 121%, followed by financial services (56%), and travel (14%).

    “Behavioral data tells the story behind every customer interaction,” said Spisak, “It reveals exactly where and why users are struggling. The brands that act on these insights have a real opportunity to directly impact conversion, retention, and improve customer trust, resulting in stronger, more loyal relationships.”

    Research Methodology

    The data in this report reflects aggregated and anonymized activity from January to December 2024, spanning 9.5 billion web sessions, 4.1 billion mobile sessions, and 945 billion individual events. It focuses on four key regions—North America, UK & Ireland, DACH, and Benelux—and highlights trends across five major industries: Retail, Travel & Hospitality, Food & Beverage, Finance, and Sports, Gambling & Entertainment.

  • MIL-OSI: New report: Generative AI use doubles while trust in social media plummets

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CIRA’s 2025 Internet Trends Report reveals how trust, innovation and tariffs are reshaping Canada’s digital landscape  

    OTTAWA, Ontario, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Canadians navigate economic uncertainty and rapid technological change, they are changing how they spend time and money online. According to the 2025 Canadian Internet Trends Report released today, Canadians are embracing generative AI tools and expressing concern about misinformation, online safety and the trustworthiness of social media platforms.

    Formerly known as Canada’s Internet Factbook, the report is based on a national survey of 2,000 adult internet users. It offers a complex picture of Canadians’ online behaviour, from shifting shopping habits to evolving perceptions of social media.

    Key insights

    • Use of generative AI tools has more than doubled from 2024, with 1 in 3 Canadian have used having with them in the past year. Despite the spike, Canadians remain concerned about misinformation and deepfakes, with 74 per cent worried about AI-generated fake content.
    • Public trust in X continues to decline. It is now seen as the top platform for promoting polarizing content (31 per cent) and misinformation (33 per cent). The perception of safety on X has dropped by 20 percentage points since 2018. Despite buzz around alternatives like Bluesky, only five per cent of Canadians report using the app yet.
    • In a global economy, 64 per cent of Canadians prefer to shop online from Canadian retailers when given the choice, with over half (55 per cent) citing support for the local economy as their top reason. In the midst of a trade war with the US, the .CA domain remains a trusted signal of Canadian identity online.
    • One third of Canadians (34 per cent) encountered a deepfake in the past year; up from 20 per cent in 2024. Nearly 80 per cent believe deepfakes should be banned from social media and 59 per cent see them as a threat to democratic elections matching recent reports on election tampering.
    • One-in-five Canadians has been the victim of a cyberattack or data breach most often due to breaches at companies or services they use. While 61 per cent of respondents feel confident spotting scams, the findings underscore how important it is for all organizations—big or small—to step up their cybersecurity efforts.

    Executive quote

    “At CIRA, we’re seeing firsthand how global events and fast-moving technologies are transforming the way Canadians use the internet. From a growing preference for Canadian e-commerce amid geopolitical tensions, to concerns over AI, misinformation, and cyber threats, it’s clear that the internet is no longer just a tool—it’s a mirror of the complex world we live in.” — Byron Holland, President and CEO, CIRA

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Former Deputy to the Commander for Military Operations, U.S. Africa Command, to advise NANO Nuclear on potential civilian and defense applications of its advanced nuclear technologies

    New York, N.Y., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or “the Company”), a leading advanced nuclear energy and technology company focused on developing clean energy solutions, today announced that it has appointed distinguished nuclear submarine leader and Former Deputy to the Commander for Military Operations, U.S. Africa Command, Vice Admiral Charles J. Leidig, Jr. (Ret.), as the Chairman of its Executive Advisory Board for Naval Nuclear Initiatives.

    In his role, Vice Admiral Leidig will guide NANO Nuclear’s initiatives to support United States Naval operations with reliable nuclear power solutions, including the potential use of NANO Nuclear microreactors in development for propulsion, baseload power on operating bases and other programs.

    Leidig served as Deputy to the Commander for Military Operations, U.S. Africa Command from August 2010 to June 2013, capping a 39-year Navy career. Prior to this assignment, Leidig was the 80th Commandant of Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy, and earlier commanded USS Cavalla (SSN 684), where his crew earned two Meritorious Unit Commendations and the coveted Battle “E.” Additional leadership posts included Commander, Submarine Development Squadron Five; Commander, Naval Forces and Region Marianas; Commander, Submarine Group Eight; and Deputy Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet. Across these tours he directed submarine rescue programs, Arctic-warfare initiatives, and allied undersea operations, building a reputation for positive, mission-focused leadership.

    Vice Admiral Leidig’s career also included stints as a material officer for Submarine Squadron 11, senior member of the Nuclear Propulsion Examining Board, assistant deputy director for Regional Operations on the Joint Staff, and executive assistant to the Director of the Joint Staff. He is a 1978 graduate, with distinction, of the U.S. Naval Academy and holds a master’s in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College. Professional education later included the National Security Management Program at Syracuse University and the Navy Executive Business Course at UNC Chapel Hill.

    “The U.S. Navy’s long record of safe, reliable nuclear propulsion has shown how compact reactors can deliver consistent power under demanding conditions,” said Charles J. Leidig, Jr., Chairman of NANO Nuclear’s Executive Advisory Board for Naval Nuclear Initiatives. “NANO Nuclear brings that same spirit of innovation to the next generation of microreactors for potential civilian and military use. NANO Nuclear’s rapid progress reflects a focused, highly capable team, and I’m pleased to contribute my naval nuclear experience as we meet growing demand in the marketplace for advanced nuclear technologies.”

    Rebel Light Beer Ignites Mississippi with Largest-Ever Opening Order, Fueling Continued National Expansion of America’s Patriotic Beer

    NASHVILLE, TN, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB), the proud creator of American Rebel Light Beer—America’s bold, patriotic, and unapologetic brew—announces a historic milestone with its largest-ever opening order as it storms into Mississippi. Partnering with Clark Beverage Group, Inc., this record-setting launch accelerates the national rollout of American Rebel Light Beer (americanrebelbeer.com), bringing the nation’s fastest-growing beer to the heart of the Magnolia State. This blockbuster debut is a game-changer, a rallying cry for customers, and a celebration for Mississippians ready to Rebel Up with a cold, crisp, all-American beer.

    A Record-Setting Launch with Clark Beverage Group

    Clark Beverage Group, a trusted leader in beverage distribution, has placed the largest first order in American Rebel’s history, signaling unshakable confidence in the brand’s explosive growth and market appeal. This record-breaking initial order, featuring both 16 oz Tall Boys and classic 12 oz cans, is now hitting Mississippi’s shelves, bars, and tailgates statewide. From Oxford to the Gulf Coast, American Rebel Light is ready to become the go-to beer for freedom-loving Rebels across the state.

    Why Mississippi? It’s Rebel Country!

    Mississippi embodies the heart and soul of American Rebel Light Beer—faith, grit, patriotism, and pride. Home to the Ole Miss Rebels and a state that lives the values of God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, and Stand Your Ground, Mississippi is the perfect stage for this iconic launch. Every can of American Rebel Light is a toast to liberty, a salute to tradition, and a bold statement of identity—crafted for those who live life unapologetically.

    “Mississippi doesn’t just align with our brand — it lives it,” said Andy Ross, CEO and Founder of American Rebel Holdings. “This is a state built on faith, grit, patriotism, and pride. There’s no place in America where the words ‘God-Fearing,’ ‘Constitution-Loving,’ ‘National Anthem-Singing,’ and ‘Stand Your Ground’ ring louder or truer. When you crack open a cold American Rebel Light, you’re holding more than a beer — you’re holding a statement of identity. It’s a flag in a can. And we’re honored to stand with the Rebels of Mississippi and raise a toast to everything that makes this country great.”

    A Partnership Built on Shared Vision

    The journey began in February 2025 when Andy Ross and the American Rebel Beverage team connected with Jeff Brasher, Vice President – Alcohol MS, Clark Beverage Group. The instant alignment of values led to a swift distribution agreement, finalized after Mississippi’s recent regulatory approval of the American Rebel Light label. This partnership is a testament to Clark Beverage Group’s belief in the brand’s potential to dominate the market.

    “We’re not just distributing a beer; we’re championing a movement,” said Todd Porter, President of American Rebel Beverage. “Clark Beverage Group gets it—they see the passion, the quality, and the patriotism behind American Rebel Light. Together, we’re bringing Mississippi a beer that’s as bold as they are — America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer.”

    “Clark Beverage Group is honored to bring American Rebel Light Beer to Mississippi,” said Jeff Brasher. “This is a beer that resonates with our communities, and we’re excited to see it take off across the state!”

    America’s Fastest Growing Light Beer and America’s Next Great Beverage Brand!

    For investors, this record-breaking order is a powerful signal of American Rebel’s skyrocketing momentum. With successful launches in Tennessee, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, and now Mississippi since September 2024, American Rebel Light is proving its staying power in the competitive beverage market. 

    This Mississippi launch, backed by a tier one distributor, underscores the brand’s ability to scale rapidly and capture market share.

  • MIL-OSI: Coralogix Introduces MCP Server to Help Customers Build Smarter AI Agents

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coralogix, a leading full-stack observability platform provider, today unveiled the official Coralogix MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, which enables third-party AI agents to connect directly to Coralogix’s observability data, including logs, metrics, traces, SIEM, and real user monitoring (RUM), across production, staging, and other environments. The MCP Server is available to Coralogix’s 4000+ customers, allowing them to enhance their AI agents with access to detailed observability data, dramatically reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR), streamlining agent workflows, and minimizing engineering overhead.

    MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic, the company behind Claude, that provides a simple way to connect tools, data, and services to AI models and systems. By utilizing Coralogix’s MCP Server, AI agents can directly access detailed information about a customer’s applications and infrastructure. This interaction trains the AI agent, enhancing its capabilities and effectiveness.

    Last quarter, Coralogix introduced Olly, the advanced AI observability assistant. Olly is an SRE agent that can fully analyze production systems, understands the full context of logs, metrics, and traces, and surfaces RCA and business impact. Today’s MCP Server announcement brings that same deep Coralogix context to builders: it exposes a secure MCP endpoint so developers can stream live telemetry into their own AI agents, IDEs, or chat-ops workflows; and shape the experience to suit their needs.

    Agents generally lack direct access to specific observability data, which limits the AI’s utility for this purpose. What makes Coralogix’s MCP Server unique is its ability to surface observability data that is highly specific to each customer. It can search through data to find custom attributes and entities that reflect the customer’s unique setup, leading to more accurate results when AI agents access logs, metrics, and traces. Customers can also use natural language prompts to locate key metrics or events.

    By integrating with tools developers already use, such as the widely used AI code editor Cursor or IDEs, the MCP Server enables AI agents to not only detect issues in real time but also assist in diagnosing and resolving them all within the same workflow. This “closing the loop” capability streamlines operations and reduces the need to switch between multiple tools.

    “Adding the MCP server to our current AI capabilities will enable teams to create custom AI-driven observability experiences,” said Liran Hason, VP of AI at Coralogix. “Now, our customers can easily equip their AI agents with direct access to production observability data. Publishing an official MCP Server also allows our customers to rely on a trusted MCP source and ensure they get the best and most reliable observability capabilities for their agents.”

    About Coralogix
    Coralogix is a full-stack observability platform that enables businesses to monitor and manage data in real time, providing instant insights without the need for indexing. The platform supports Log Analytics, application performance monitoring (APM), security information and event management (SIEM), real user monitoring (RUM), and infrastructure monitoring, offering complete visibility into AI performance, security, and governance in a single solution. Coralogix offers a simple pricing model based on data volume, along with world-class support that ensures rapid response times and swift resolutions. To learn more, visit www.coralogix.com.

    BOSTON, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coralogix, a leading full-stack observability platform provider, today unveiled the official Coralogix MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, which enables third-party AI agents to connect directly to Coralogix’s observability data, including logs, metrics, traces, SIEM, and real user monitoring (RUM), across production, staging, and other environments. The MCP Server is available to Coralogix’s 4000+ customers, allowing them to enhance their AI agents with access to detailed observability data, dramatically reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR), streamlining agent workflows, and minimizing engineering overhead.

    MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic, the company behind Claude, that provides a simple way to connect tools, data, and services to AI models and systems. By utilizing Coralogix’s MCP Server, AI agents can directly access detailed information about a customer’s applications and infrastructure. This interaction trains the AI agent, enhancing its capabilities and effectiveness.

    Last quarter, Coralogix introduced Olly, the advanced AI observability assistant. Olly is an SRE agent that can fully analyze production systems, understands the full context of logs, metrics, and traces, and surfaces RCA and business impact. Today’s MCP Server announcement brings that same deep Coralogix context to builders: it exposes a secure MCP endpoint so developers can stream live telemetry into their own AI agents, IDEs, or chat-ops workflows; and shape the experience to suit their needs.

    Agents generally lack direct access to specific observability data, which limits the AI’s utility for this purpose. What makes Coralogix’s MCP Server unique is its ability to surface observability data that is highly specific to each customer. It can search through data to find custom attributes and entities that reflect the customer’s unique setup, leading to more accurate results when AI agents access logs, metrics, and traces. Customers can also use natural language prompts to locate key metrics or events.

    By integrating with tools developers already use, such as the widely used AI code editor Cursor or IDEs, the MCP Server enables AI agents to not only detect issues in real time but also assist in diagnosing and resolving them all within the same workflow. This “closing the loop” capability streamlines operations and reduces the need to switch between multiple tools.

    “Adding the MCP server to our current AI capabilities will enable teams to create custom AI-driven observability experiences,” said Liran Hason, VP of AI at Coralogix. “Now, our customers can easily equip their AI agents with direct access to production observability data. Publishing an official MCP Server also allows our customers to rely on a trusted MCP source and ensure they get the best and most reliable observability capabilities for their agents.”

  • MIL-OSI: Dayforce Research: Taming Friction Key to Simplifying Workplace Complexity

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MINNEAPOLIS and TORONTO, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dayforce, Inc. (NYSE: DAY; TSX: DAY), a global human capital management (HCM) leader that makes work life better, today released a report, Fighting workforce friction to power productivity, that explores types of workplace friction – staffing, agility, change, and technology – and the consequences of them. Findings show widespread organizational challenges are hurting productivity and the bottom line by keeping people from doing the work they’re meant to do.

    With a majority (84%) of respondents saying they have faced organizational change in the past 12 months, this new research dives into how friction is experienced by workers, managers, and executives to help leaders drive simplicity at scale and ensure their people are doing work that drives results. Conducted by Hanover Research, the survey included 6,178 workers, managers, and executives from companies with at least 100 employees. The findings highlight opportunities to enhance speed and agility, while also improving the employee experience.

    “Technology disruption and a fluid operating environment are creating friction across organizations, leading to frustrated employees and wasted time and resources,” said Steve Holdridge, President and Chief Operating Officer, Dayforce, Inc. “Tackling this complexity crisis requires reducing friction caused by poor communication, mismatched technology, and aligning worker skills with defined roles. For leaders, this means creating clear goals, delivering proper skills training, and equipping their people with the tools they need to do the work they’re meant to do.”

    The report identified four types of friction organizations need to address:

    • Staffing friction: Almost two-thirds (65%) of workers said that when someone calls in sick at their organization, there is often no one to cover their work. Meanwhile, middle managers say that workforce scheduling (36%) and accurately forecasting labor needs (31%) are among their biggest workforce planning challenges. Employing workforce planning technology can help managers by improving staffing flexibility and ensuring that schedules comply with relevant regulations.
    • Agility friction: Respondents were clear that in today’s environment adapting and optimizing their workforce with speed is key to competitive advantage, but more than half (51%) said they could add more value to their organization in a different role. At the same time, only 43% said their organization has a structured process of upskilling or reskilling employees. Creating defined career paths and development opportunities can improve agility and retention.
    • Change friction: More than half (52%) of respondents say that organizational changes at their company negatively impact employee efficiency and only 44% say their organization is good or very good at communicating change. Prioritizing communication during change management planning can help employees navigate change and focus on important tasks.
    • Technology friction: More than two-thirds (69%) of respondents say their organization uses too many technology platforms, while nearly the same amount (66%) at least slightly agree that adopting new technologies at work often reduce efficiency instead of improving it. Reducing complexity with fewer platforms and modern technology can make adoption smoother and get people back to focusing on high-value tasks.

    Additional Information

    Survey Methodology

    Hanover Research conducted the organizational friction survey from Dayforce online from April 14 to May 1, 2025. The study included 6,178 respondents aged 18+ who work at companies with at least 100 employees across Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    Our Organizational Friction Index was calculated based on respondents’ answers to nine questions about organizational changes, organizational complexity, and technological complexity. Each respondent was assigned an Organizational Friction Score, and the Index was created by designating those scores as low, medium, or high friction.
