  • MIL-OSI Global: Is a faith-based charter school a threat to religious freedom, or a necessity to uphold it? The weighty decision lies with the Supreme Court

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Charles J. Russo, Joseph Panzer Chair in Education and Research Professor of Law, University of Dayton

    As demonstrators gathered outside, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 30, 2025, about whether Oklahoma can operate the nation’s first faith-based charter school. St. Isidore of Seville would be a virtual, K-12 school run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa.

    Charters are typically public schools of choice, funded by taxpayer dollars. Unlike regular public schools, they are free from most state regulations on curriculum and teacher qualifications. Until now, however, charters, like other public schools, have been secular.

    The litigation over St. Isidore reveals a built-in tension in the First Amendment religion clauses, under which “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” While the free exercise clause guarantees people the right to believe as they wish, controversy remains over what constitutes an “establishment” of religion.

    Here, the specific question is the extent to which, if any, states can spend public funds to allow parents to enroll their children in a faith-based charter school. Supporters are appealing a 2024 ruling from the Supreme Court of Oklahoma, which held that a religious charter school violated state law, as well as the Oklahoma and federal constitutions.

    Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican supporter of St. Isidore, has said the case “stands to be one of the most significant religious and education freedom decisions in our lifetime.”

    On the other hand, the attorney for St. Isidore’s challengers – led by Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, who blocked the school’s opening – said that a victory for St. Isidore “would result in the astounding rule that states not only may but must fund and create public religious schools, an astounding reversal from this court’s time-honored precedents.”

    It remains to be seen whether a ruling in favor of St. Isidore’s would prove to be a win for religious freedom, as Stitt claimed, or a threat. Even so, as a professor focused on education law, I believe an order to continue expanding taxpayer aid to faith-based institutions looks more likely after Wednesday’s arguments, where five of the eight participating justices seemed sympathetic to St. Isidore.

    The issues

    The Supreme Court faces two key questions.

    First, do the teachings of “a privately owned and run school constitute state action simply because it contracts with the state to offer a free educational option for interested students?” In other words, is a charter school a state actor?

    Second, the justices will weigh how the First Amendment religion clauses apply to a faith-based charter school. According to the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The question is whether Oklahoma violates the free exercise clause by excluding schools from the charter program “solely because the schools are religious.” If so, is the exclusion justified by concerns about the government “establishing” religion?

    The dispute over St. Isidore comes at a time when the Supreme Court has been steadily expanding the limits of aid to faith-based schools. Starting in 2016, a trio of cases have held that states cannot deny institutions and believers generally available, taxpayer-funded aid based solely on their religions. These cases covered aid to enhance playground safety at a Missouri preschool, the right to participate in Montana’s educational tax credit program, and providing tuition assistance to Maine parents in districts lacking public secondary schools.

    The other issue – the “state actor” question – essentially asks whether a state-funded school teaching Catholicism would constitute the government promoting a religion, in violation of the First Amendment’s prohibition against doing so.

    Drummond, Oklahoma’s attorney general, is also a Republican. However, he reversed his predecessor’s action allowing St. Isidore’s creation, arguing that the school “misuses the concept of religious liberty by employing it as a means to justify state-funded religion.”

    In a 2024 brief to the Supreme Court, Drummond noted that Oklahoma’s “charter schools bear all of the hallmarks of a public school,” such as being entirely state-funded. During April arguments, his attorney emphasized that charters are “required to be public schools by the Congress of the United States and the legislatures of 47 states.”

    If this argument prevails, it means St. Isidore is a government actor, and therefore it cannot promote any one religion over another.

    The state action claim may be difficult for St. Isidore’s supporters to overcome. However, the ace in the hole is the Supreme Court’s recent trend of expanding the boundaries of government aid to faith-based schools and their students.

    In fact, Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion in all three of those cases. Excluding a religious preschool “from a public benefit for which it is otherwise qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the same, and cannot stand,” he wrote in the 2016 decision.

    Justice Amy Barrett, a supporter of increased aid to faith-based schools, recused herself from participating in the oral arguments, without explanation. This leaves five justices who support expanding public aid for faith-based schools: Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Roberts.

    Oral arguments

    During questioning, Roberts commented that St. Isidore’s creation seems like “much more comprehensive [state] involvement” with a religious organization, compared with the previous cases that expanded taxpayer aid to religious schools – leaving the door open to speculation over how he might vote. Nevertheless, he and the other four proponents of aid appeared open to St. Isidore’s argument that to exclude faith-based schools from charter programs is unconstitutional discrimination on the basis of religion.

    “All the religious school is saying is don’t exclude us on account of our religion,” Kavanaugh commented. He added, “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second class in the United States.”

    The remaining justices – Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson – appeared skeptical of expanding state aid to faith-based schools.

    Illustrating the tensions within the First Amendment, Sotomayor remarked to the attorney representing St. Isidore, “what you’re saying is the free exercise clause trumps the essence of the establishment clause.”

    Jackson said to the same attorney that St. Isidore is “not being denied a benefit that everyone else gets. It’s being denied a benefit that no one else gets, which is the ability to establish a religious public school.”

    If Roberts agrees with these three justices, resulting in a 4-4 tie, the judgment of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma would remain undisturbed.

    In the words of the baseball sage Yogi Berra, “it ain’t over ‘till it’s over.” The court is expected to rule near the end of its term, likely in late June.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Fleeting fireflies illuminate Colorado summer nights − and researchers are watching

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Orit Peleg, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of Colorado Boulder

    The Colorado June air was thick with summer heat. Mosquitoes rose in clouds around us, testing our resolve while we gathered our cameras and sensors. We walked into the wetland, down the unmarked path until the cattails rose shoulder-high. The sounds of frogs and crickets filled the air as we set up our cameras and waited. Then we spotted them: tiny lights lifting from the grasses, blinking in slow rhythms.

    Bioluminescent lampyrid beetles, commonly known as fireflies or lightning bugs, are widespread throughout the Eastern United States but far more scarce west of Kansas.

    Even though many are stargazers and hikers, most Colorado residents don’t know that fireflies share their state.

    We are an associate professor of computer science and a Ph.D. candidate who are working to shed light on Colorado’s hidden fireflies.

    In the past few years, we have observed and filmed elusive bioluminescent fireflies all over Colorado, racing each summer against their brief and unpredictable flashing season.

    Nolan R. Bonnie and Mac Stone

    Last year in early June it was too early, we thought, for fireflies in Colorado. For weeks we had been checking weather forecasts, comparing them to previous years, waiting for warmer nights and rising temperatures − the signs that would tell us it’s firefly time.

    Then we got a tip. A friend mentioned seeing one or two flashes near their property. The next morning we packed our gear, rearranged our schedules and contacted our volunteer network. The field season began in a literal flash.

    As adults, fireflies live and flash for only about two weeks a year − and even then, just for a few hours each night. It’s easy to blink and miss the entire season. The next generation overwinters underground as larvae, emerging as adults the following year, though development may take up to two years in arid climates. Making the most of that narrow window is one of the many reasons we rely on volunteers who help us spot the first flashes and record observations across Colorado.

    Western fireflies face unique environmental challenges

    Our work joins a growing chorus of scientific observation focused on western fireflies, which pop up across the arid landscape near temporary wetlands, marshes, drainages, desert rivers and other water sources. Because of the dry landscape, these populations tend to be fragmented, isolated to where the water is and nowhere in between.

    This strong tie to small, unstable habitat spells vulnerability for the fireflies. If the water runs out, or their habitats are damaged by water or light pollution, the flashing populations could vanish. Pesticides in water are toxic to firefly larvae and their prey, and artificial light inhibits the flash courtship between males and females, preventing successful reproduction. Many populations and species of fireflies are threatened with extinction in the United States due to these factors.

    Organizations such as our lab at the University of Colorado and the Xerces Society for Inverteberate Conservation are studying the distribution of and direct threats to western firefly populations. Many of the species are either endangered or not yet described.

    The fireflies of the Photuris genus along the Front Range, for example, still do not have a species name and appear to be genetically distinct from other Photuris around the country. Preliminary genetic results suggest at least one new species might be found here. The genetic data also suggests at least five different bioluminescent species of fireflies are present in Colorado.

    How flash patterns help fireflies (and us) tell species apart

    During their short mating season, fireflies use their flash patterns as mating calls.

    Males produce a series of flash-on, flash-off events, each with specific durations and pauses. These Morse code-like signals communicate what type and how fit the fireflies are to potential mates in the darkness.

    When females detect a suitable male, they respond with their own unique flash pattern.

    Our work piggybacks on this evolutionary adaptation. We first recorded populations from around the U.S. using two video cameras, which allowed us to accurately track individual fireflies in three dimensions and separate their flash patterns.

    We used the data on the flash behavior from different species to train a neural network that can classify the firefly’s flash pattern with a high degree of accuracy. Our algorithm learns the unique flash patterns from our data and can identify the species of firefly that is present in a video.

    This is a powerful tool for firefly conservation efforts. The camera footage can cover more time and ground than field surveys conducted by humans, and our algorithm can more quickly identify species that might be threatened.

    Fostering community engagement with citizen science

    Based on our success with community science data collection across other states, including Tennessee, South Carolina and Massachusetts, we wanted to apply the same principles to Colorado’s firefly populations. This is a big undertaking: There are dozens of fragmented sites where fireflies are active across Colorado, and more are reported by volunteers every season. Our team of two cannot visit and survey every site during the short firefly season.

    In 2023 we put out our first call for volunteers in Colorado. Since that time, 18 community members in Boulder, Fort Collins, Divide and Loveland joined the filming effort. We provide cameras for the volunteers, who bring them to their nearby wetlands and set them up in the fading light.

    Last summer we partnered with local land management agencies in Boulder, Fort Collins and Loveland to host informative community events, where we spoke about firefly biology and conservation to audiences of all ages. On many of those nights, as the flashes began, we heard the excitement build: quiet gasps, hushed enthusiasm and a whisper such as, “Look at that beautiful streak of light!”

    Fireflies have an important story to tell, and here in Colorado that story is just beginning. Their brief flashes each summer help us learn about communication, ecology and how these delicate insects respond to an ever-changing world.

    If you’d like to help us find and study fireflies in Colorado, you can sign up to join our community science project.

  • MIL-OSI: Movellus Debuts Industry-First On-Die Power Delivery Network Analyzer

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Movellus today announced the industry’s first on-chip sensor for power delivery network (PDN) characterization and monitoring. Power integrity is vital to the performance and efficiency of any system-on-chip (SoC). However, the industry has very limited visibility into the behavior of on-chip PDNs, which can result in voltage over-margining (compromising both power and performance), missed performance targets, and higher DPPM rates. And as the industry evolves to larger SoCs, stacked die, and chiplets, the problem is further magnified, making PDN visibility even more critical to overall system performance and energy efficiency. PDN IQ enables improvements in power, performance, and uptime for advanced semiconductors by providing PDN visibility across the entire silicon lifecycle from bench characterization and production test to in-field monitoring.

    “Robust PDN operation is required to ensure the functionality and performance of high end SoCs. Today, the industry relies on a variety of black-box techniques to evaluate these critical networks, but these approaches are becoming less effective in the face of ever larger devices, advanced packaging, and severe power swings in workloads,” said Ranganathan “Suds” Sudhakar, Chief Development Officer at d-Matrix. “Having direct visibility of PDN efficacy, anywhere on chip, is a compelling mechanism to optimize the power-performance characteristics of large SoCs and will be a game changer for the industry.”

    “The insatiable demand for greater bandwidth in AI accelerators continues to expand the quantity of processor and memory chiplets integrated within a single device. As disparate semiconductors are knitted together with advanced packaging technologies, such as Deca’s M-Series fan-out, optimized power delivery is an inherent challenge,” commented Tim Olson, CEO of Deca Technologies, “The introduction of this exciting new in-situ power delivery network telemetry from Movellus gives customers a breakthrough capability to optimize voltage-frequency points to maximize performance while improving system quality & reliability.”

    Aeonic Insight PDN IQ delivers high-speed, transistor-level voltage telemetry combined with sophisticated trigger and trace capabilities, and advanced statistics that deliver value throughout the entire silicon lifecycle. Some of the use cases include:

    • Refining voltage-frequency curves during characterization
    • Observing on-die PDN behavior under high stress workloads on the bench & in field
    • Improve screening accuracy to reduce DPPM rates in production
    • Improving fleet uptime by continuously monitoring PDN behavior and flagging anomalies

    “SoCs are growing exponentially in complexity, especially for the datacenter and AI segments. Design teams need to turn over every rock in their designs to optimize for power and performance, and this includes the power delivery network,” said Rich Wawrzyniak, Principal Analyst at SHD Group. “Movellus is arming its customers with the visibility and telemetry required to optimize SoC power with their new on-die PDN analyzer IP.”

    Aeonic Insight™ PDN IQ can also integrate with third-party analytics platforms, offering even greater flexibility. Silicon teams can feed telemetry data from the trace buffer and other registers available in the IP into an analytics stack to gain deeper insights into PDN behavior, further enhancing design and deployment strategies.

    Movellus continues to advance high-performance silicon through feature-rich IP. The Aeonic™ Digital IP platform has been integrated by multiple customers across various process nodes, with applications ranging from performance-centric cloud datacenter compute and AI offerings to ultra-low power edge AI devices. This latest milestone enables advanced on-die observability for power delivery networks, ensuring maximum power efficiency for cutting-edge SoCs, AI accelerators, and processors.

  • MIL-OSI: 1 Hour Payday Loans Online No Credit Check Direct Lenders Guaranteed Approval – IOnline Payday Loans

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SHERIDAN, Wyo., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Life is full of surprises—medical bills, home or car repairs, or even travel expenses and sometimes you need a little help. In those situations, waiting days for instant payday loans approvals doesn’t make sense. That’s when 1 Hour Payday Loans with No Credit Check come out the smartest. The loans are meant to provide short-term financial relief, even if your credit isn’t great. In this guide, we’re going to break down how these fast loans function and their benefits.

    1-Hour Payday Loans No Credit Check— What is it?

    1-Hour Payday Loans With No Credit Check are typically small loans— $100 to $1,500, that are meant to be used to cover emergency expenses, such as medical bills, car repairs or unpaid rent. The main characteristic of these loans is they do not require a standard credit check, such as the one conducted by banks, which often means that are available even to people with bad credit or no credit history at all.

    Lenders consider current income, employment status and the borrower’s repayment ability, not a credit score. Once approved, the funds tend to be deposited directly into the borrower’s bank account that day. But these loans carry high interest rates and are supposed to be repaid on the next payday, so that’s why they got the name. They provide a quick fix, but it’s important to use them responsibly — or you risk falling into a cycle of debt.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Deporting international students risks making the US a less attractive destination, putting its economic engine at risk

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By David L. Di Maria, Vice Provost for Global Engagement, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

    In early April 2025, the Trump administration terminated the immigration statuses of thousands of international students listed in a government database, meaning they no longer had legal permission to be in the country. Some students self-deported instead of facing deportation.

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently announced that it would reverse the terminations after courts across the country determined they did not have merit.

    These moves come as the White House seeks to enhance vetting and screening of all foreign nationals.

    The State Department in March announced plans to use artificial intelligence to review international students’ social media accounts.

    As an administrator and scholar who specializes in international higher education, I know that international students in the United States have long been subjected to a high level of vetting, screening and monitoring.

    Inserting additional bureaucracy into current processes could make the U.S. a less attractive study destination. I believe this would ultimately hamper the Trump administration’s ability to achieve its “America First” priorities related to the economy, science and technology, and national security.

    International students in the US

    The U.S. has long been the global leader in attracting international students. But competition for these students is increasing as other countries, such as Germany and South Korea, enact strategies for attracting international education.

    The U.S. hosts 16% of all students studying outside of their home country, down from 22% in 2014 and 28% in 2001, according to the Institute of International Education. Of the more than 1 million international students who were present in the U.S. during the 2023-2024 academic year, 54% came from just two countries, China and India.

    Most international students pursue graduate degrees in STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics. And, according to the National Science Foundation, international students make up a significant portion of enrollment at the master’s and doctoral levels.

    How international students are screened

    International students in the U.S. are already subjected to intense screening and continuous monitoring. These measures include:

    • Vetting the student’s school. Before they can apply for a visa, international students must be admitted to a school authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to enroll people on student visas.

    • Vetting at the embassy. As part of the visa application process, international students are subjected to national security reviews carried out by various intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In some cases, such as when a U.S. consular officer in their home country decides that more information is required from external sources to determine visa eligibility, additional screenings occur. That is done through a process known as administrative processing.

    • Vetting upon arrival. When they arrive in the U.S., international students are again screened by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. If the officer is unable to verify any information, the student is sent to secondary inspection, a secure interview area where the student waits while officers complete additional assessment. The student is then either admitted to the U.S. or forced to depart the country.

    • Ongoing monitoring while in the U.S. If permitted to enter the country, students must enroll full time, earn good grades and notify their school within 10 days of substantive changes to their circumstances.

    Examples include a change to their address, academic major or financial sponsor. And school officials are required to report this information to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s National Security Investigations Division.

    Students participating in temporary, postgraduation training programs must continue to comply with reporting requirements. And certain STEM graduates, and their employers, are subject to additional requirements. They include certification of training plans, annual evaluations and site visits.

    Most international students prefer to study in the U.S., recent research shows. But they are willing to change their preferences as other countries introduce friendlier visa policies, such as more flexible post-study work opportunities and lower visa costs.

    Given the current level of screening and monitoring already imposed on international students in the U.S., it is unclear how additional measures would add value.

    Critical to an America First agenda

    President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda aims to grow the U.S. economy.

    It also intends to maintain U.S. leadership in science and technology and enhance national security.

    Trump administration officials have underlined the importance of recruiting top global talent. And Trump has said that international students who graduate from U.S. colleges should be awarded a green card with their degree.

    During the 2023-2024 academic year, international students contributed US$43.8 billion to the U.S. economy through tuition and living expenses, which supported an estimated 378,175 U.S. jobs.

    Their contributions don’t end following graduation, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Many go on to launch successful startups at a rate that is eight to nine times higher than their domestic peers. In fact, 25% of billion-dollar companies in the U.S. were founded by a former international student.

    Such companies include Eventbrite, Grammarly, Moderna, OpenAI, Robinhood and SpaceX.

    International students also help the U.S. maintain global leadership in STEM.

    Consider that 45% of STEM workers in the U.S. holding a doctoral degree were born outside the U.S.

    A 2024 report cautions that the U.S. is failing to develop domestic STEM talent at all levels of the education system. Just 3.2% of U.S. high school graduates are estimated to enter the STEM workforce.

    Moreover, the country’s ability to attract and retain international STEM talent is decreasing due to immigration restrictions and increased global competition.

    Finally, international students are critical to establishing global networks and promoting soft power diplomacy. This is evidenced by the U.S. having graduated more world leaders than any other nation.

    Further restricting the ability of international students to study in the U.S. will ultimately redirect talent to other countries, allies and adversaries alike.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Unveils Helios Security System: Safer Than Bitcoin with 10x Growth Potential

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin is legendary, but even legends can be improved. As security threats and scalability challenges rise, the crypto community has been searching for a blockchain that delivers both safety and growth potential. Enter Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) and its new Helios Security System — a breakthrough that promises more protection than Bitcoin and the speed of Solana, with serious room to grow.

    If you’re looking for a smart, secure, and scalable crypto investment, this might be your moment.

    Understanding the Helios Security System

    The Helios Security System is Bitcoin Solaris’s built-in defense and governance framework, designed to protect users, assets, and decentralized applications.

    It’s more than just a security layer — it’s a comprehensive system combining blockchain best practices with innovative tools that safeguard user interactions on the Bitcoin Solaris network.

    What Makes Helios Stand Out?

    • Integrated Across All Layers: Operates on both the base layer (security) and the Solaris layer (smart contracts and DeFi apps)
    • Zero-Knowledge Privacy Features: Users can opt into enhanced privacy for sensitive transactions
    • On-Chain Governance: Token holders vote on upgrades and policies, preventing centralized control
    • Validator Auditing and Automation: Delegated validators are selected based on performance and trust metrics
    • Constant Smart Contract Monitoring: All deployed contracts pass through ongoing audits and bug bounty programs

    By embedding Helios into its dual-consensus system, Bitcoin Solaris ensures the entire blockchain is secure — not just the base layer.

    The Future of Bitcoin Starts Here—Be Part of BTC-S

    What Makes Bitcoin Solaris Different?

    Bitcoin Solaris is more than just a secure blockchain — it’s an all-in-one ecosystem designed for everyday users, investors, and developers.

    Built for Performance and Protection

    • Dual-Consensus System: Combines Proof-of-Work (PoW) for unbeatable security and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) for fast, scalable transactions
    • Up to 10,000 Transactions Per Second: With 2-second finality across the Solaris Layer
    • Massive Energy Efficiency: Uses 99.95% less energy than traditional Bitcoin mining
    • Cross-Platform Mining: Smartphones, laptops, and mining rigs all supported through the Solaris Nova App
    • Smart Tokenomics: 21 million fixed supply with 66.67% allocated to mining, creating sustainable distribution

    The Role of Liquid Staking in Network Safety

    Bitcoin Solaris enhances the user experience with liquid staking, giving token holders the ability to stake without locking their tokens.

    • Earn rewards with sBTC-S tokens (1:1 ratio)
    • Use staked tokens across DeFi apps while still earning
    • Support network decentralization by distributing stake across multiple validators
    • Gain voting power to steer platform direction

    Why Solana? Why Now?

    Solana’s blockchain is known for its speed and low fees, but it lacked the strong, Bitcoin-style security model. Bitcoin Solaris bridges that gap.

    By launching on Solana, Bitcoin Solaris leverages:

    • Fast processing
    • Reliable infrastructure
    • A vast developer ecosystem
    • Low-cost transactions

    Once the native Bitcoin Solaris chain goes live, tokens will migrate seamlessly, preserving speed and adding even more security at the protocol level.

    Positioned for Growth with Built-In Scarcity

    Bitcoin Solaris has locked its total token supply at 21 million BTC-S, mirroring Bitcoin’s proven model of digital scarcity.

    This limited supply, combined with audited smart contracts, real-world utility, verified contributers, and cutting-edge infrastructure, creates the perfect storm for long-term investor growth.

    With only three months of presale, early participants have a unique window to position themselves before BTC-S gains broader exposure.

    Conclusion

    The launch of the Helios Security System signals a new era for blockchain safety — one where decentralization, privacy, speed, and real-world use cases can finally work together in harmony. Bitcoin Solaris isn’t just a safer version of Bitcoin — it’s a faster, smarter, and more accessible evolution.

    Backed by Solana technology and driven by a strong, sustainable ecosystem, Bitcoin Solaris offers far more than promises. It offers the infrastructure to actually deliver — and the timing couldn’t be better.

  • MIL-OSI: Unmanned Drones Carrying Bathymetric Lidar Systems Being Utilized to Cover Larger Areas Quickly

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – LIDAR is being used in more industries across all markets and in many environments… one of which is water. People have studied the underwater depth of river, sea, and ocean floors for thousands of years to be able to safely navigate boats through the water. Today, such depth measurements are done using advanced technology that includes either sound (sonar), or laser pulses (LiDAR). The study of underwater topographies is called bathymetry, whereas studying underwater depths is known under terms such as seafloor mapping or imaging. According to a recent report from Precedence Research the global LiDAR market, including bathymetric LiDAR, is projected to reach a substantial $13.74 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 21.56% from 2024 to 2033. This growth is driven by increased adoption in various sectors, including autonomous vehicles, infrastructure development, and environmental applications like forestry and flood modeling. A recent article by an industry insider said: “Bathymetric LiDAR was first used to detect submarines. However, many more applications have been developed that use bathymetric LiDAR as a result of advancing sensor technology. With smaller platforms including unmanned drones and small helicopters that can carry heavier payloads, bathymetric LiDAR systems can cover large areas quickly and capture accurate 3D data that includes the seabed and surrounding terrain of different water bodies.   Over time, bathymetric LiDAR has proven to be a fast, reliable, accurate, and safe technique for rapidly mapping nearshore waters, beaches, coastal engineering structures, and more. Compared to traditional methods, such as sonar-based systems or manual depth soundings, bathymetric LiDAR can generate more detailed and precise maps of underwater topography. It also allows for seamless mapping of both water and surrounding land, with the ability to reach up to three times the visible water depth.” Active Companies in the drone industry today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV), Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), Ouster, Inc. (NASDAQ: OUST).

    The article continued: “The advantage of using green light for bathymetric LiDAR is that it penetrates further into the water than other frequencies, to capture deeper depths that standard bathymetry methods may miss. Green light also scatters less off suspended particles than other wavelengths, reducing inaccuracies caused by suspended sediment or algae in the water column.   Bathymetric LiDAR is also a more sustainable and safer option for underwater mapping as it doesn’t require expensive and fuel-consuming survey vessels, or people entering the water. These might get lost or injured during surveys, while the use of bathymetric LiDAR sensors eliminates such potential risks. Bathymetric LiDAR technology offers rapid, accurate, and cost-effective data collection for hydrographic surveying, which involves measuring the physical features of water bodies (depth, currents, and underwater topography). Using bathymetric LiDAR, submerged archeological sites are found and studied, such as ancient shipwrecks and submerged settlements.”

    ZenaTech’s (NASDAQ:ZENA) Drone as a Service (DaaS) Offerings Expand to Bathymetric Surveys for Underwater Terrain Mapping for Commercial and Government Customers – ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces its DaaS offerings have expanded to include bathymetric surveys, a specialized method of mapping underwater terrain using drones equipped with sonar.

Unlike conventional manned survey vessel methods, drones require fewer personnel, reduce operational risks, and can access shallow or narrow areas with greater precision,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

    According to DataIntelo market research, the global Bathymetry Survey Sonar Market was valued at approximately $1.2 billion in 2023, this market is projected to reach $2.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.2%. This encompasses sonar systems utilized in bathymetric surveys, including those deployed on drones.

    ZenaTech’s DaaS business will incorporate the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series of multifunction autonomous drones to provide a variety of service solutions from land surveys to power line inspections or power washing, made accessible and cost effective through an Uber-like business model on a regular subscription or pay-per-use basis.

    Other recent developments in the markets include:

    AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in intelligent, multi-domain autonomous systems, recently announced it has been awarded a $46.6M contract by the Italian Ministry of Defence (MOD) for the delivery of its JUMP® 20 vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) medium uncrewed aircraft system (MUAS). The five-year contract encompasses the procurement of JUMP 20 air vehicles, engineering services, initial sustainment and onsite technical support – ensuring rapid fielding and operational readiness from day one.

    JUMP 20 is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), fixed-wing UAS with 30 pounds of payload capacity, 13+ hours of endurance and an operational range of 185 km (115 mi). Purpose-built for expeditionary operations, the system can be stored and transported with ease and autonomously launched and recovered without personnel intervention, making it ideal for dynamic on-the-move operations.

    In a new whitepaper, Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), says that emerging cost-effective precision strike solutions that can be safely recovered and reused offer a strong alternative to more commonly deployed ‘One-Way Attack’ or First Person View (FPV) drones.

    In the new paper, USE IT, DON’T LOSE IT: The Case for Recoverable and Reusable Loitering Munitions, FLIR Defense argues that newer, advanced loitering munition unmanned aircraft systems (LMUAS) are better suited to support operations in the ‘atmospheric littoral.’ An emerging strategic concept, the atmospheric littoral describes the very low-altitude airspace (up to several hundred feet above ground level) which, if controlled, can significantly enhance the ground maneuver of combat units.

    Ouster, Inc.

    Plans to Form The Buxton Helmsley Foundation, to Begin Operations in Q4 2025

    NEW YORK, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Buxton Helmsley, Inc. (together with certain of its affiliates, “BH”, “we”, or the “Company”), a New York City-based alternative asset manager, today announced a series of actions taken between February and April 2025. These initiatives follow the continued success of its flagship low-correlation defensive activism strategy, which has consistently captured opportunities across market cycles. BH has also unveiled plans involving a USD$50 million private placement of common stock in parent company Buxton Helmsley, Inc. (offering unique benefits to investors distinct from underlying BH fund offerings):

    • Commencement of USD$50 Million Private Placement of Common Stock in Parent Company, Buxton Helmsley, Inc. – BH has commenced a Rule 506(c) private placement of USD $50 million of common stock (the “New Private Offering”). Immediately prior to commencement (under Rule 506(b)), BH secured initial subscriptions. A substantial majority of the proceeds from the New Private Offering will be allocated to sponsoring BH’s inaugural investment fund, carrying forward an expanded version of the defensive activism strategy developed by Alexander E. Parker. This initiative further solidifies the Buxton Helmsley name among the top 15% of global activist investors by engagement volume, as ranked within Bloomberg’s “Activism League Tables.” BH has also begun exploring a potential direct listing of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

      BH is preparing to launch its largest investor advocacy initiative to date, targeting a global corporation with a market capitalization of over $5 billion. Evidence of extensive insider trading among senior executives and “hush money” payments to whistleblowers is anticipated to drive an immediate, majority board refresh, allowing for BH to thereafter unlock significant operational and financial improvements. Given the anticipated media coverage and heightened investor interest once the initiative becomes public, pricing for future BH common stock sales will likely be adjusted upward following the public disclosure of this latest and largest campaign. Prospective investors wishing to participate under the current terms of the New Private Offering are encouraged to inquire about investing before the public announcement.

      Interested investors should inquire via e-mail at ir@buxtonhelmsley.com.

    • Commencement of Investor Discussions and Acceptance of New Private Offering Subscriptions – BH has initiated discussions with investment banks, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors, and has begun accepting New Private Offering subscriptions. All investors must be accredited, and reasonable steps will be taken to verify accreditation in accordance with U.S. securities laws. The New Private Offering is not being conducted in any jurisdiction where such an offering would be unlawful under that jurisdiction’s securities laws, and eligibility screening will apply to all investors, regardless of domicile.

Parker. Immediately prior to BH’s acquisition of the BH IP, Mr. Parker formally revoked the authorization to use the BH IP from two unaffiliated entities (Buxton Helmsley Holdings, Inc. and The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc.), both of which have no shared economic interest or affiliation with BH. BH expressly disclaims any and all activities of these entities for which it is entirely unaffiliated. Immediately after BH’s acquisition of the BH IP, BH filed for formal registration of the BH IP with the USPTO.

Mr. Parker will request that the BHF board of trustees earmark such funds for allocation to cancer-focused causes.

    ITEM 3: PREPARATION AND APPROVAL OF THE VOTING LIST

    The voting list proposed for approval is the voting list drawn up by the Company Secretary, based on the register of shareholders provided by Euroclear Sweden AB, shareholders having given notice of participation and being present at the Meeting, and postal votes received.

    ITEMS 9-11: DETERMINATION OF REMUNERATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDITORS, ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE AUDITORS AND ELECTION OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The Nomination Committee proposes that:

    Item 9

    The Board of Directors shall consist of 6 directors and that the Company should have one registered public auditor’s firm as auditor. 

    Item 10

    To increase the remuneration of the Board of Directors to the amount of GBP 70,000 per annum to each of the non-employed Directors, which includes all committee membership and committee chair positions. The proposed increase in the remuneration reflects the increased responsibilities associated with the move to the regulated segment of Nasdaq Stockholm in 2022, as well as ensuring that the Company can continue to attract and retain the right candidates for the Board of Directors. It is proposed that remuneration to the Chairman remain unchanged at GBP 125,000 per annum, provided that the Chairman is not an employee.

    Remuneration to the Auditor be paid in accordance with approved invoices.

    Item 11

    For the period up to the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2026, Jean-Marie Mognetti, Carsten Køppen, Johan Lundberg, Viktor Fritzén and Christine Rankin be re-elected as members of the Board of Directors and that Daniel Masters be re-elected as the Chairman of the Board.

    Baker Tilly International (including any of its affiliates or member firms) (collectively, “Baker Tilly”) be elected to serve as the Company’s auditor for the period ending at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in 2026, unless the Board elects to appoint another audit firm that, at the time of appointment, audits an equal or greater number of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants than Baker Tilly, based on the most recent data published by a recognized and independent provider of audit industry data, such as Audit Analytics or a comparable organization that tracks and reports on the number of SEC registrants audited by accounting firms. Information regarding the candidates nominated by the Nomination Committee for re-election to the Board of Directors is available on the Company’s website under the Investor Relations section.

    ITEM 12: RESOLUTION ON APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR’S REMUNERATION REPORT 

    Under the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Director’s is required to prepare a report for each financial year regarding paid and outstanding remuneration to Board members, the CEO and the deputy CEO who are covered by the guidelines. As the Company has no deputy CEO and the Board members do not receive any remuneration other than that decided by the Annual General Meeting, the report for the financial year 2024 only covers the Company’s CEO. According to the Swedish Corporate Governance Board’s rules on remuneration to senior executives and on incentive programs, the report must contain an overview of each of the outstanding and concluded incentive programs completed during the year.

    The Board of Directors suggests that the Annual General Meeting approve the remuneration report for the financial year 2024.

    ITEM 13: RESOLUTION REGARDING AUTHORISING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DECIDE ON REPURCHASE AND TRANSFER OF OWN SHARES 

    The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on purchases of the Company’s own shares in accordance with the following, main terms:

    1. Share repurchases may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm or any other regulated market.
    2. The authorisation may be exercised on one or more occasions before the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
    3. The maximum number of own shares that may be repurchased so that the Company’s holding of shares at any given time does not exceed 15% of the total number of shares in the Company.
    4. Repurchases of the Company’s own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm (or any other regulated market) may only be made at a price of no more than 5% above the average trading price of the 5 business days prior to the repurchase.
    5. Payment for the shares shall be made in cash.

    In addition, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on transfer of own shares, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, in accordance with the following, main terms:

    1. Transfers may be made on (i) Nasdaq Stockholm or (ii) outside of Nasdaq Stockholm in connection with the acquisition of companies, operations, or assets.
    2. The authorisation may be exercised on one or more occasions before the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
    3. The maximum number of shares that may be transferred corresponds to the number of shares held by the Company at the point in time of the Board of Directors’ decision on transfer.
    4. Transfers of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm (or any other regulated market)  may only be made at a price of no more than 5% above the average trading price of the shares 5 business days prior to the transfer. For transfers outside of Nasdaq Stockholm, the price shall be set so that the transfer is made at market terms, except for delivery of shares in connection with employee stock option programs.
    5. Payment for transferred shares may be made in cash, through in-kind payment, or through set-off against claims with the Company.

    The purpose of the authorisations is to give the Board of Directors greater scope to act and the opportunity to adapt and improve the Company’s capital structure and thereby create further shareholder value, and/or capitalise on or take advantage of any attractive acquisition, investment or related opportunities. The authorisation may also be used in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with employee stock option programs.

    The Board of Directors shall have the right to decide on other terms for repurchases and transfers of own shares in accordance with its authorisation. The Board of Directors also has the right to authorise the Chairman, the CEO, or the person designated by the Board to make such minor adjustments that may be necessary in connection with the execution of the Board’s decision to repurchase or transfer shares.

    A valid resolution in favour of the Board’s proposal requires the approval of shareholders with at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

    ITEM 14: RESOLUTION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

    The Board of Directors proposes that the Company’s Articles of Association be amended by deletion of the existing articles 3.6.2, 17.2.7 and 24.12 and the insertion of new articles 3.6.2, 17.2.7 and 24.12 as follows:

    “3.6.2            the Directors may, by unanimous consent only, during any period of two consecutive calendar years, resolve to allot and issue in one or more tranches such number of ordinary shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares issued pursuant to, in connection with or upon conversion of any subsequently issued convertible bonds) as does not in the aggregate exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the total number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding any ordinary shares held in treasury) at 9am on 1st January of such year (rounded down to the nearest whole share), without the offer, issue  or allotment of such shares or the issue or conversion of any subsequently issued convertible bonds being subject to the provisions of Article 3.2 provided always that any such allotment, issue, or conversion is effected solely in connection with bona fide transactions for business purposes only (and for the avoidance of doubt the terms of this Article 3.6.2 shall not include the issuance of shares or convertible securities as consideration or compensation  for services rendered by employees, consultants, directors, or any other individuals in a personal capacity) and provided further that any issuance or allotment to any natural person pursuant to this Article 3.6.2 shall be subject to the unanimous approval of the remuneration committee as required by and in accordance with the terms of reference for such remuneration committee and shall not in aggregate in any calendar year exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of ordinary shares in issue at the time of such offer;” 

    “17.2.7          the creation of any charge or other security over any assets or property of a Group Company to secure borrowings, or indebtedness in the nature of borrowings, of that Group Company which, when aggregated with all other such borrowings or indebtedness, would exceed £200,000,000 (OTHER THAN in the ordinary course of its Business, and, DISREGARDING any amounts borrowed from other Group Companies) provided always that, subject to applicable law, nothing in these Articles (including without limitation this provision) shall restrict or prevent or be deemed to restrict or prevent the issuance by the Company of any corporate or convertible bonds or other debt instruments on an unsecured basis.”

    “24.12           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within these Articles, meetings of the Board shall be held at such locations and in such manner, and resolutions of Directors passed in writing shall be signed, so as to cause the Company to:

                         24.12.1    be resident for taxation purposes in Jersey; and

                         24.12.2   comply with the Taxation (Companies – Economic Substance) (Jersey) Law 2019.”,

    (such proposed amendments together, the “Board Proposals”).

    A valid resolution in favour of the Board Proposals requires the approval of shareholders with at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

    FINANCIAL REVIEW

    Income statement

    The Group’s profit before tax for the first three months of 2025 was £1,177 million, 26% lower than the same period in 2024. This was driven by higher operating expenses and a higher impairment charge. Profit after tax was £881 million (three months to 31 March 2024: £1,159 million).

    Total income for the first three months of 2025 was £4,371 million, broadly in line with the same period in 2024 (three months to 31 March 2024: £4,385 million). Net interest income of £3,244 million was up 4% on the prior year (three months to 31 March 2024: £3,127 million), driven by a higher margin and higher average interest-earning assets. Other income decreased by 10% to £1,127 million (three months to 31 March 2024: £1,258 million). The decrease in other income reflected improved performance in UK Motor Finance, with fleet growth and higher average vehicle rental values, which was more than offset by negative market volatility and a reduction in income from fellow Lloyds Banking Group undertakings.

    Total operating expenses of £2,884 million were 6% higher than in the prior year. This reflects higher costs, combining inflationary pressures, timing of strategic investment including planned higher severance front-loaded into the first quarter of 2025 and business growth costs, partly offset by cost savings and continued cost discipline. This is alongside higher operating lease depreciation, as a result of fleet growth, the depreciation of higher value vehicles and declines in used electric car prices over 2024.

    No net remediation charge was recognised by the Group in the first three months of 2025 (three months to 31 March 2024: £25 million). There have been no further charges relating to motor finance commission arrangements. The Supreme Court heard the appeal of the Wrench, Johnson and Hopcraft decision in early April and has stated that it is likely to produce its judgment in July. The FCA has indicated that the decision will inform its next steps in the discretionary commission arrangements (DCA) review and that it will confirm within six weeks of the decision if it is proposing a redress scheme and if so, how it will take that forward. The FCA has also noted that its next steps on non-DCA complaints will be informed by the decision.

    The impairment charge was £310 million, up from £70 million in the three months to 31 March 2024. Asset quality remained resilient in the quarter. The charge included strong portfolio performance in Retail, more than offset by a higher charge in Commercial Banking, partly due to the non-recurrence of a release from loss rates used in the model in 2024. The charge also included a £100 million central adjustment to address downside risks to the base case related to the potential impact from US tariff policies announced at the start of April. These were becoming apparent around the balance sheet date and were determined to not be fully captured within the modelled divisional ECL allowances. This is partially offset by benefits to the MES from small increases to house price and wage growth expectations.

    FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

    Balance sheet

    Total assets were £5,143 million, or 1%, higher at £616,356 million at 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: £611,213 million).

    Financial assets at amortised cost were £3,135 million higher at £508,032 million (31 December 2024: £504,897 million) with increases in loans and advances to customers. This included growth of £4,807 million in UK mortgages and growth across UK Retail unsecured loans, credit cards, UK Motor Finance and the European retail business. Lending balances reduced in Commercial Banking as a result of repayments of government-backed lending. The growth in loans and advances to customers was partly offset by a £908 million reduction in reverse repurchase agreements, a £302 million reduction in loans and advances to banks and a £1,474 million reduction in debt securities.

    Cash and balances at central banks decreased 1% to £42,000 million. Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss increased by £733 million, due to increased reverse repurchase agreements. Derivative financial assets were £520 million lower at £3,715 million (31 December 2024: £4,235 million), driven by interest rate and currency movements in the period. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income were stable in the period at £30,682 million. Other assets were £1,853 million higher, primarily reflecting increased settlement balances.

    Total liabilities were £3,230 million higher at £574,696 million (31 December 2024: £571,466 million). Customer deposits of £456,574 million increased in the period by £4,780 million. Retail deposits increased by £2,637 million in the period, driven by net inflows to limited withdrawal and fixed term deposits alongside higher current account balances. Commercial Banking deposits were up in the quarter, aided by short term balances.

    Other liabilities increased by £1,034 million reflecting increased settlement balances, while debt securities in issue decreased by £2,789 million, with higher levels of maturities in the period.

    Total equity increased to £41,660 million at 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024: £39,747 million). The increase primarily reflected profit attributable to ordinary shareholders alongside unwind of the cash flow hedge reserve and issuance of an AT1 capital instrument in February 2025 to Lloyds Banking Group plc.

    Capital

    The Group’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio reduced to 13.6% at 31 March 2025 from 13.7% at 31 December 2024. Profit for the first three months of the year was offset by the accrual for foreseeable ordinary dividends and an increase in risk-weighted assets.

    The Group’s total capital ratio at 31 March 2025 remained at 19.9% (31 December 2024: 19.9%). The increase in CET1 capital and the issuance of a new AT1 capital instrument were offset by the increase in risk-weighted assets and a reduction in tier 2 capital reflecting an instrument call and other movements.

    Risk-weighted assets increased by £3,955 million to £190,951 million at 31 March 2025 from £186,996 million at 31 December 2024. This reflects the impact of lending growth, but also includes a temporary c.£2.5 billion increase primarily due to hedging activity that is expected to reverse by the third quarter. The growth in risk-weighted assets was partly offset by continued optimisation activity and other movements.

    The Group’s UK leverage ratio increased to 5.5% at 31 March 2025 from 5.4% at 31 December 2024, reflecting an increase in the total tier 1 capital position, partially offset by an increase in the leverage exposure measure. The latter reflects increases across loans and advances and other assets, due in part to lending growth, partially offset by a reduction in the measure for securities financing transactions.

    ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)

    3.  UK economic assumptions

    Base case and MES economic assumptions

    The Group’s base case scenario is for a slow expansion in gross domestic product (GDP) and a modest rise in the unemployment rate alongside small gains in residential and commercial property prices. Inflationary pressures remain persistent, but gradual cuts in UK Bank Rate are expected to continue during 2025. Risks around this base case economic view lie in both directions and are largely captured by the generation of alternative economic scenarios.

    The Group has taken into account the latest available information at the reporting date in defining its base case scenario and generating alternative economic scenarios. The scenarios include forecasts for key variables as of the first quarter of 2025. Actuals for this period, or restatements of past data, may have since emerged prior to publication and have not been included. The Group’s approach to generating alternative economic scenarios is set out in detail in note 19 to the financial statements of the Group’s 2024 annual report and accounts.

    The Group had included assumptions for expected tariffs and potential responses in its quarter-end base case conditioning assumptions prior to announcements at the start of April. Initial non-UK tariffs announced in the first few days of April and the immediate market response were larger than expected. Accordingly, the Group has adopted a £100 million central adjustment to reflect the potential ECL impact, informed by high level sensitivity to key UK economic metrics based on tariff scenarios. Subsequent developments through April were judged to relate to conditions after the balance sheet date and will be reflected in the second quarter reporting period.

    UK economic assumptions – base case scenario by quarter

    Key quarterly assumptions made by the Group in the base case scenario are shown below. GDP growth is presented quarter-on-quarter. House price growth, commercial real estate price growth and CPI inflation are presented year-on-year, i.e. from the equivalent quarter in the previous year. Unemployment rate and UK Bank Rate are presented as at the end of each quarter.

  • MIL-OSI: Snail Games Reports April 2025 Momentum with Key Franchise Expansions, New Indie Horror IP Releases, and Strategic Publishing Growth

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CULVER CITY, Calif., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, today highlighted major milestones across its portfolio for April 2025, including expansions within the ARK franchise, a content milestone for Bellwright, and multiple IP launches under Wandering Wizard, the Company’s independent indie publishing label.

    ARK Franchise Strengthens with New Content
    Snail Games continued to build on the momentum of its flagship sandbox survival IP with two major content updates:

    • Eggcellent Adventure Returns to ARK: Survival Ascended
      The seasonal Eggcellent Adventure event reinforces seasonal events as a key strategy for retention and re-engagement.
    • Extinction Map Launches in ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition
      The rollout of the Extinction map on mobile represents a continued push into high-growth mobile markets. This update supports Snail Games’ long-term vision of delivering premium survival experiences across multiple platforms, making the IP more accessible to a broader audience of players.

    In addition to new content releases, Snail Games continues to prepare for the 10-year anniversary of its flagship ARK: Survival Evolved, with the anticipated upcoming release of its new expansion map DLC, ARK: Aquatica.

    Bellwright Marks One Year in Early Access with Major Update
    April 2025 also marked the one-year Early Access anniversary for Bellwright. The update introduced significant new content and player-requested features. With a growing player base and positive community sentiment, Bellwright reflects Snail’s commitment to long-term support and scalable IP growth.

    Notable Update Features include:

    • Animal Husbandry & Advanced Resource Systems
      Players can now raise livestock through new husbandry structures, producing essential resources like milk, eggs, and meat. Paired with the new Butchery system, this deepens the economy and rewards strategic village management.
    • Fishing & Exploration Enhancements
      A full-featured fishing system with diverse fish types, mini-games, and a Fishing Hut adds immersive gameplay variety. New locations, including caves, swamps, and mountain trails, further expand the world’s exploration potential.
    • Quality-of-Life Upgrades & Narrative Expansion
      A major crafting UI overhaul, savable squad rosters, and over 25 new quests enhance both accessibility and long-term player retention.

    Wandering Wizard Celebrates New Game Launches and Acquisition
    Snail Inc’s indie publishing label Wandering Wizard deepened its footprint in the horror space with two notable releases and a strategic publishing deal.

    • Launches of The Cecil: The Journey Begins and Chasmal Fear
      In April 2025, Wandering Wizard expanded its catalog with the launch of two horror titles, The Cecil: The Journey Begins and Chasmal Fear. Both games highlight the creativity and passion of small indie teams — with The Cecil: The Journey Begins crafted by a solo developer and Chasmal Fear brought to life by a duo of brothers. These releases underscore Wandering Wizard’s commitment to empowering independent creators and bringing bold, fresh voices to the gaming community.
    • Publishing Rights Secured for Whispers of West Grove
      The acquisition of publishing rights to Whispers of West Grove adds another indie horror experience to the Wandering Wizard portfolio, aligning with Snail Games’ strategy of identifying high-potential indie IPs with organic audience momentum.

    These achievements reflect Snail Games’ continued execution across its core franchises, emerging IPs, and strategic publishing initiatives. As the Company moves into the second quarter, it remains focused on the 10-year anniversary of ARK: Survival Evolved, the anticipated launch of the ARK: Aquatica DLC, expanding its global reach, investing in scalable growth opportunities, and delivering fresh experiences that engage players across multiple platforms and genres.

  • MIL-OSI: SAIC Awarded New $55 Million Mission Integration Contract From Space Development Agency

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RESTON, Va., May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Science Applications International Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIC) has been awarded the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 3 Program Integration (T3PI) contract from the Space Development Agency (SDA). This new $55 million contract spans a five-year performance period and is set for a May 1, 2025, program start.

    The PWSA is a constellation populated with multi-vendor space vehicles for the Transport, Tracking and Custody Layers and an associated ground system designed to address critical Department of Defense capability gaps associated with closing challenging kill chains with precision and speed. The Tranche 3 space layers will provide multi-band global communications access and persistent encrypted connectivity for warfighter missions, global missile defense, augmented Position, Navigation and Timing and 24/7, all-weather custody of time-sensitive targets. Under this new contract, SAIC will deliver mission-first management of enterprise requirements, schedule, engineering, technical reviews and risk to help address the complexity of integrating multiple Tranche 3 space layers, the ground segment, the existing space segments and operational users.

    “T3PI is a strategic win for SAIC because it demonstrates our proven expertise in mission integration and digital engineering,” said David Ray, SAIC executive vice president of Space and Intelligence Business Group. “But most importantly, it’s a win for warfighters as SAIC works with our robust ecosystem of partners, including the Space Development Agency and U.S. Space Force to integrate threat kill chains at speed. Ultimately, this work increases warfighter lethality and decision dominance in all domains – land, sea, air, space and cyber.”

    As America’s leading Mission Integrator, SAIC delivers advanced technology solutions for national imperatives including all-domain warfighting and next-generation space capabilities. The Fortune 500 company is already working with SDA on the innovative Battle Management Command, Control and Communications (BMC3) program which securely delivers apps to in-orbit satellites. For SDA’s Tranche 3 Layers, SAIC has assembled a highly experienced team to provide comprehensive systems engineering support to ensure seamless mission integration of the PWSA space, ground and user segments. This approach guarantees a tailored, scalable and secure solution for space operations, aligned with SDA’s planned launch windows.

    “Beyond delivering next-gen warfighting capabilities, T3PI highlights the need of a data-centric mission integration approach for the space, intelligence and military communities,” Ray continued. “For new national imperatives like Golden Dome for America missile defense, premier mission integrators will be essential to fuse existing all-domain systems with newly created infrastructure using advanced commercial technologies like digital engineering, AI, cloud and multi-level security. We’re excited to get started on T3PI so that we can efficiently maximize value for the American taxpayers with speed and scale for the best mission outcomes.”

    About SAIC 
    SAIC® is a premier Fortune 500 mission integrator focused on advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world. Our robust portfolio of offerings across the defense, space, civilian and intelligence markets include secure high-end solutions in mission IT, enterprise IT, engineering services and professional services.
