  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Wildfire smoke can make your outdoor workout hazardous to your health – an exercise scientist explains how to gauge the risk

    Source: The Conversation – USA (3) – By John C. Quindry, Professor of Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training, University of Montana

    Air pollution from wildfire smoke can worsen heart and lung disease. helivideo/iStock via Getty Images Plus

    As the summer’s sunny days take hold, many people turn to outdoor exercise.

    But in parts of North America, pleasant weather often aligns with wildfire season. As summers get drier, both the frequency and the intensity of wildfires have grown, producing more polluting smoke.

    A fire’s smoke can spread across several states, leaving people at risk for the health consequences of air pollution.

    Exercisers and health experts are asking whether the benefits of outdoor exercise are negated when the skies are hazy with wildfire smoke.

    How does air pollution make people sick?

    Air pollution’s components depend on its source. For instance, traffic-related air pollution consists largely of vehicle exhaust and brake and tire wear, while industrial pollution contains significant amounts of ozone.

    Wildfires produce huge quantities of airborne particles, also called fine particulate matter. These particles are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter – about a tenth the size of a pollen grain.

    Particles of that size, which air quality experts refer to as PM2.5, raise serious health concerns because they are tiny enough to be carried to the air sacs in the deepest parts of the lungs. From there, they can cross into the blood stream, leading to bodywide inflammation – essentially, the immune system’s fight response – which can promote or aggravate multiple chronic illnesses.

    Research shows that long-term exposure to wildfire smoke is linked to lung diseases, heart disease and other conditions. Since these illnesses take decades to develop, scientists think that the health problems caused by wildfire smoke inhalation accumulate after years of exposure.

    One-time smoke exposures may have cumulative effects

    My research team and others are investigating how short-term smoke exposure might also influence long-term health outcomes such as heart and lung diseases.

    Particulate matter from wildfire smoke can aggravate chronic illnesses.

    To estimate the effects of exposure from a single fire event, environmental scientists can study a variety of factors such as immune system markers of inflammation, signs of physiologic stress and changes in heart, blood vessel and nervous system function. How exactly smoke exposures worsen disease is still poorly understood, but these immediate responses in the body may also be linked to developing chronic disease.

    In a study published in June 2025, my colleagues and I examined these outcomes in healthy participants who exercised during a wildfire simulation in our air inhalation lab. The air was filtered to contain high concentrations of PM2.5 particles produced by burning local pine trees – the equivalent to being downwind of a major wildfire.

    We asked 20 generally healthy participants in their mid-20s to exercise on a stationary cycle at about half their maximum effort for two hours while breathing the smoke. We found that participants’ blood vessel and nervous system function declined immediately after their smoky exercise session. These stress indicators bounced back to normal within an hour of returning to a clean air environment.

    Half of our study participants had a heightened response to physiological stress, which scientists think may signify a heightened risk of chronic diseases. We selected them based on a stress test administered before the experiment: Specifically, their blood pressure spiked when their hands were dipped in ice water for two minutes. The stress-responsive participants experienced significantly stronger declines in blood vessel and nervous system function than people in the typical response group, suggesting that exercise in a very smoky climate may affect some people more than others.

    While it isn’t possible to predict who is most at risk, our study underscores the need to think carefully about exposure to wildfire smoke.

    How smoky is too smoky for outdoor exercise?

    Unfortunately, precise air quality thresholds based on factors such as age and medical condition do not exist. But some simple guidelines and considerations can help.

    The first step is to check the air quality where you live at the government website AirNow. It uses a scale called the Air Quality Index, created by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1999 – which ranks air quality regionally on a scale from 0 to 500. The website is searchable by ZIP code. The reading for a given region reflects the contribution of several pollutants, including PM2.5 levels.

    The Air Quality Index ranks air quality at six levels.
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

    When the air quality is ranked “good,” the decision is simple – get out there and enjoy the outdoors. And there is little debate that people should generally limit their outdoor exposure when air quality levels cross into the “unhealthy” threshold – or at least be aware that doing so poses health risks.

    The risks and benefits of exercising outdoors when air quality is in the “moderate” and “unhealthy for sensitive” ranges are less clear, particularly for people who don’t have chronic health conditions.

    Gauging your risk

    One major factor in deciding when and whether to exercise outdoors is your health status. AirNow recommends that people with chronic conditions err on the side of caution and remain indoors when smoke levels cause the air quality rating to approach the “unhealthy for sensitive” category.

    That advice may be obvious for people with diagnosed lung conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, given that particles from wildfire smoke aggravate the lungs. But studies suggest it’s true for milder disease states, too. For example, a large study of people with elevated but not clinically high blood pressure indicated that those who lived downwind of air pollution were more likely to develop high blood pressure and, ultimately, heart disease.

    Another consideration is the time of day. As the afternoon heats up, the column of air we breathe expands, diluting the particulate counts. And afternoon winds frequently blow stagnant air out of the valleys and downtown areas where particulate matter can concentrate during the cooler parts of the day. That means evening workouts may be safer than early-morning ones, though direct confirmation with air quality readings is key.

    Also important is the intensity at which you exercise. Higher-intensity exercise means deeper, more frequent breathing, which likely elevates your exposure to harmful air. So you might choose a shorter jog over a longer run when air quality is moderate or poor.

    My lab is currently working to quantify how much pollution a person breathes in while exercising in smoky conditions, based on their exercise intensity, exercise duration and local particulate counts. This line of research is still in its infancy, but our early findings and other published research suggest that when wildfire smoke puts air quality into the “moderate” and “unhealthy for sensitive” range, people can dial down the effects of smoke exposure by decreasing their exercise intensity or the time they spend outside.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: The AI therapist will see you now: Can chatbots really improve mental health?

    Source: The Conversation – USA (3) – By Pooja Shree Chettiar, Ph.D. Candidate in Medical Sciences, Texas A&M University

    Chatbot ‘therapists’ use artificial intelligence to mimic real-life therapeutic conversations. Pooja Shree Chettiar/ChatGPT, CC BY-SA

    Recently, I found myself pouring my heart out, not to a human, but to a chatbot named Wysa on my phone. It nodded – virtually – asked me how I was feeling and gently suggested trying breathing exercises.

    As a neuroscientist, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was I actually feeling better, or was I just being expertly redirected by a well-trained algorithm? Could a string of code really help calm a storm of emotions?

    Artificial intelligence-powered mental health tools are becoming increasingly popular – and increasingly persuasive. But beneath their soothing prompts lie important questions: How effective are these tools? What do we really know about how they work? And what are we giving up in exchange for convenience?

    Of course it’s an exciting moment for digital mental health. But understanding the trade-offs and limitations of AI-based care is crucial.

    Stand-in meditation and therapy apps and bots

    AI-based therapy is a relatively new player in the digital therapy field. But the U.S. mental health app market has been booming for the past few years, from apps with free tools that text you back to premium versions with an added feature that gives prompts for breathing exercises.

    Headspace and Calm are two of the most well-known meditation and mindfulness apps, offering guided meditations, bedtime stories and calming soundscapes to help users relax and sleep better. Talkspace and BetterHelp go a step further, offering actual licensed therapists via chat, video or voice. The apps Happify and Moodfit aim to boost mood and challenge negative thinking with game-based exercises.

    Somewhere in the middle are chatbot therapists like Wysa and Woebot, using AI to mimic real therapeutic conversations, often rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. These apps typically offer free basic versions, with paid plans ranging from US$10 to $100 per month for more comprehensive features or access to licensed professionals.

    While not designed specifically for therapy, conversational tools like ChatGPT have sparked curiosity about AI’s emotional intelligence.

    Some users have turned to ChatGPT for mental health advice, with mixed outcomes, including a widely reported case in Belgium where a man died by suicide after months of conversations with a chatbot. Elsewhere, a father is seeking answers after his son was fatally shot by police, alleging that distressing conversations with an AI chatbot may have influenced his son’s mental state. These cases raise ethical questions about the role of AI in sensitive situations.

    Where AI comes in

    Whether your brain is spiraling, sulking or just needs a nap, there’s a chatbot for that. But can AI really help your brain process complex emotions? Or are people just outsourcing stress to silicon-based support systems that sound empathetic?

    And how exactly does AI therapy work inside our brains?

    Most AI mental health apps promise some flavor of cognitive behavioral therapy, which is basically structured self-talk for your inner chaos. Think of it as Marie Kondo-ing, the Japanese tidying expert known for helping people keep only what “sparks joy.” You identify unhelpful thought patterns like “I’m a failure,” examine them, and decide whether they serve you or just create anxiety.

    But can a chatbot help you rewire your thoughts? Surprisingly, there’s science suggesting it’s possible. Studies have shown that digital forms of talk therapy can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, especially for mild to moderate cases. In fact, Woebot has published peer-reviewed research showing reduced depressive symptoms in young adults after just two weeks of chatting.

    These apps are designed to simulate therapeutic interaction, offering empathy, asking guided questions and walking you through evidence-based tools. The goal is to help with decision-making and self-control, and to help calm the nervous system.

    The neuroscience behind cognitive behavioral therapy is solid: It’s about activating the brain’s executive control centers, helping us shift our attention, challenge automatic thoughts and regulate our emotions.

    The question is whether a chatbot can reliably replicate that, and whether our brains actually believe it.

    A user’s experience, and what it might mean for the brain

    “I had a rough week,” a friend told me recently. I asked her to try out a mental health chatbot for a few days. She told me the bot replied with an encouraging emoji and a prompt generated by its algorithm to try a calming strategy tailored to her mood. Then, to her surprise, it helped her sleep better by week’s end.

    As a neuroscientist, I couldn’t help but ask: Which neurons in her brain were kicking in to help her feel calm?

    This isn’t a one-off story. A growing number of user surveys and clinical trials suggest that cognitive behavioral therapy-based chatbot interactions can lead to short-term improvements in mood, focus and even sleep. In randomized studies, users of mental health apps have reported reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety – outcomes that closely align with how in-person cognitive behavioral therapy influences the brain.

    Several studies show that therapy chatbots can actually help people feel better. In one clinical trial, a chatbot called “Therabot” helped reduce depression and anxiety symptoms by nearly half – similar to what people experience with human therapists. Other research, including a review of over 80 studies, found that AI chatbots are especially helpful for improving mood, reducing stress and even helping people sleep better. In one study, a chatbot outperformed a self-help book in boosting mental health after just two weeks.

    While people often report feeling better after using these chatbots, scientists haven’t yet confirmed exactly what’s happening in the brain during those interactions. In other words, we know they work for many people, but we’re still learning how and why.

    AI chatbots don’t cost what a human therapist costs – and they’re available 24/7.

    Red flags and risks

    Apps like Wysa have earned FDA Breakthrough Device designation, a status that fast-tracks promising technologies for serious conditions, suggesting they may offer real clinical benefit. Woebot, similarly, runs randomized clinical trials showing improved depression and anxiety symptoms in new moms and college students.

    While many mental health apps boast labels like “clinically validated” or “FDA approved,” those claims are often unverified. A review of top apps found that most made bold claims, but fewer than 22% cited actual scientific studies to back them up.

    In addition, chatbots collect sensitive information about your mood metrics, triggers and personal stories. What if that data winds up in third-party hands such as advertisers, employers or hackers, a scenario that has occurred with genetic data? In a 2023 breach, nearly 7 million users of the DNA testing company 23andMe had their DNA and personal details exposed after hackers used previously leaked passwords to break into their accounts. Regulators later fined the company more than $2 million for failing to protect user data.

    Unlike clinicians, bots aren’t bound by counseling ethics or privacy laws regarding medical information. You might be getting a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, but you’re also feeding a database.

    And sure, bots can guide you through breathing exercises or prompt cognitive reappraisal, but when faced with emotional complexity or crisis, they’re often out of their depth. Human therapists tap into nuance, past trauma, empathy and live feedback loops. Can an algorithm say “I hear you” with genuine understanding? Neuroscience suggests that supportive human connection activates social brain networks that AI can’t reach.

    So while in mild to moderate cases bot-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy may offer short-term symptom relief, it’s important to be aware of their limitations. For the time being, pairing bots with human care – rather than replacing it – is the safest move.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think − an electrical engineer explains

    Source: The Conversation – USA (2) – By Anurag Srivastava, Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University

    Broken and worn-out solar panels can be recycled, but it’s not easy. Suzanne Kreiter/The Boston Globe via Getty Images

    It’s hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes the frame and layers of materials can start to peel apart.

    In 2023, about 90% of old or faulty solar panels in the U.S. ended up in landfills. Millions of panels have been installed worldwide over the past few decades – and by about 2030, so many will be ready to retire that they could cover about 3,000 football fields.

    As an electrical engineer who has studied many aspects of renewable energy, recycling solar panels seems like a smart idea, but it’s complicated. Built to withstand years of wind and weather, solar panels are designed for strength and are not easy to break down.

    All of these solar panels will need to be disposed of one day – perhaps by being recycled.

    The cost conundrum

    Sending a solar panel to a landfill costs between US$1 and $5 in the U.S. But recycling it can cost three to four times as much, around $18. And the valuable materials inside solar panels, such as silver and copper, are in small amounts, so they’re worth about $10 to $12 – which makes recycling a money-losing prospect. Improvements in the recycling process may change the economics.

    But for now, it’s even hard to reclaim the glass in solar panels. Many layers are glued together and need to be separated before they can be melted down for reuse. And if the separation is not precise enough, the glass that is recovered won’t be of high enough quality to use in making other solar panels or windows. It will be suitable only for lower-quality uses such as fill material in construction projects.

    Other panels, usually older ones, may contain small amounts of toxic metals such as lead or cadmium. It can be difficult to tell whether toxic materials are present, though. Even experts have trouble, in part because current tests, such as the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure, can give inaccurate results. Therefore, many companies that own large numbers of solar panels just assume their panels are hazardous waste, which increases costs for both disposal and recycling. Clearer labels would help people know what a solar panel contains and how to handle it.

    If someone wants to recycle a solar panel, and is willing to bear the cost, there aren’t many places in the U.S. that are willing to do it and are equipped to be safe about it.

    Recycling solar panels can involve detailed manual labor.

    Designing for a new life

    Despite the Trump administration’s cuts to subsidies for solar projects, millions of solar panels are already in use in the U.S., and millions more are expected to be installed worldwide in the coming years. As a result, the solar industry is working on ways to minimize waste and repeatedly reuse materials.

    Some ideas include sending used solar panels that still work at least a bit to developing nations, or even reusing them within the U.S. But there are not clear rules or processes for connecting reused panels to the power grid, so reuse tends to happen in less common, off-grid situations rather than becoming widespread.

    Future solar panels could also be designed for easier recycling, using different construction methods and materials, and improved processing systems.

    Making panels last longer – perhaps as long as 50 years – using more durable materials, weather-resistant components, real-time monitoring of panel performance and predictive maintenance to replace parts before they wear out would reduce waste significantly.

    Building solar panels that are more easily disassembled into separate components made of different materials could also speed recycling. Components that fit together like Lego bricks – instead of using glue – or dissolvable sealants and adhesives could be parts of these designs.

    Improved recycling methods could also help. Right now, panels are often simply ground up, mixing all of their components’ materials together and requiring a complicated process to separate them out again for reuse. More advanced approaches can extract individual materials with high purity. For example, a process called salt etching can recover over 99% of silver and 98% of silicon, at purity levels that are appropriate for high-end reuse, potentially even in new solar panels, without using toxic acids. That method can also recover significant quantities of copper and lead for use in new products.

    Crushing solar panels can make different materials easier to recover from various components.
    AP Photo/Gregory Bull

    A shared journey

    Increasing the practice of recycling solar panels has more than just environmental benefits.

    Over the long term, recovering and reusing valuable materials may prove more cost-effective than continually buying new raw materials on the open market. That could lower costs for future solar panel installations. If they are fully reused, the value of these recoverable materials could reach over $15 billion globally by 2050.

    In addition, recycling panels and components reduces American reliance on materials imported from overseas, making solar power projects less vulnerable to global disruptions.

    Recycling also keeps toxic materials out of landfills. That can help ensure a shift to clean energy doesn’t create new or bigger environmental problems. Also, recycling solar panels emits far less carbon dioxide than manufacturing panels from raw materials.

    There are already some efforts underway to boost solar panel recycling. The Solar Energy Industries Association trade group is working to collect and share information about companies that recycle solar panels.

    Governments can provide tax breaks or other financial incentives for using recycled materials, or ban disposing of solar panels in landfills. California, Washington, New Jersey and North Carolina have enacted laws or are studying ways to manage solar panel waste, with some even requiring recycling or reuse.

    These efforts are important steps toward addressing the growing need for solar panel recycling and promoting a more sustainable solar industry.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Large language models (LLMs) solve wargaming challenge

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

    Case study

    Large language models (LLMs) solve wargaming challenge

    Dstl and Frazer-Nash demonstrate how large language models (LLMs) can solve the challenge of getting through large amounts of wargaming data.

    The huge volume of outputs wargaming generates can often be unfathomable, even for the most experienced data processing team.

    The Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and Frazer-Nash have produced detailed research demonstrating how large language models (LLMs) can solve this challenge.

    The LLMs can turn complex wargaming output data into easy to use, secure information that improves the scenario interrogation and analysis – simultaneously reducing the burden on the operator.

    What LLMs can do

    LLMs can:

    • summarise complex data through their text processing and generating capabilities
    • analyse and assess large data sets from a variety of sources faster than any manual approach (perfect for Command: Modern Operations (CMO) – a wargaming simulation platform that produces large volumes of complex data on completion of a given scenario)
    • provide more privacy and data control compared with online counterparts such as Chat GPT

    More on the research

    The 6-month Dstl funded research scrutinised whether an LLM could be used reliably and securely to interrogate the output of a CMO scenario – for example, a complex multi-domain engagement involving sea, air and land units. It helped the analyst understand the result of a battlefield scenario and the key factors that drove it much more easily.

    The research considered multiple technologies. This included combining Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with a local LLM. RAG is a technique that improves the quality of LLM-generated responses, allowing use-case specific data in everyday formats such as PDF, CSV or XML so it can be easily included in the context for an LLM response.

    A set of possible use cases were provided and tested across 2 phases during the 6-month research, and a robust framework tool was created for quantifying the accuracy and reliability of the LLM-generated information. 

    Results

    The research showed that LLMs can helpfully interrogate and disseminate output information of complex wargaming scenarios, if used in the right way.

    Other positive outcomes of the research include:

    • strengthening the training benefits
    • reducing operator burden
    • improving resilience and preparedness

    The techniques can be developed flexibly around changing components. For instance, data types, tools, methodologies and evaluation metrics. This new approach can then evolve with ever-changing demands and challenges.

    In a major push towards empowering tribal students, the National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, has unveiled a series of initiatives to enhance education, life skills, and employability for students studying in Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs) across the country.

    On July 9, NESTS signed landmark agreements with UNICEF India, Tata Motors Limited, and the Ex-Navodayan Foundation to roll out programmes that will support over 1.3 lakh tribal students in their academic and professional journeys.

    At the centre of these efforts is TALASH (Tribal Aptitude, Life Skills and Self-Esteem Hub), an innovative national platform launched in partnership with UNICEF. TALASH aims to strengthen both academic learning and personal development by helping students discover their strengths, build essential life skills, and plan clear career pathways.

    Through psychometric assessments inspired by NCERT’s ‘Tamanna’ initiative, students will receive individual Career Cards suggesting suitable career options based on their aptitudes. The platform will also provide career counselling, dedicated life skills modules, and resources for teachers to guide students effectively. The phased national rollout has already begun, with 189 teachers from 75 EMRSs trained to lead sessions in their schools. By the end of 2025, TALASH is expected to reach all EMRSs in 28 states and 8 union territories.

    Complementing this, NESTS has entered into a five-year Memorandum of Understanding with Tata Motors Limited to bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry-ready skills. Under this partnership, students passing out of Class 12 from EMRSs will be enrolled in Tata Motors’ Kaushalya Program — an ‘Earn & Learn’ initiative that combines a Diploma in Engineering with on-the-job training. Eligible students will be aged 18 to 23 and must have secured at least 60% marks in their Class 10 examinations.

    The program provides a monthly stipend, subsidised canteen and transport facilities, uniforms, safety equipment, insurance cover, and opportunities for high-performing students to pursue further technical studies such as B.Tech through tie-ups like BITS Pilani’s Work Integrated Learning Program. Placement support under a ‘One Trainee, One Job’ policy will ensure that trained graduates find employment within Tata Motors’ manufacturing and service locations nationwide.

    In a parallel move, NESTS has also signed a tripartite agreement with Tata Motors and the Ex-Navodayan Foundation to offer focused coaching for competitive exams like IIT-JEE and NEET. This initiative will include dedicated residential Centres of Excellence at Chankapur (Maharashtra) and Chintapalle (Andhra Pradesh), providing intensive in-person coaching for meritorious science stream students of Grades XI and XII. Additionally, online preparatory classes for Olympiad, NTSE, and KVPY exams will be made available to students from digitally equipped EMRSs, extending support to learners from Grade IX onwards.

    Together, these new measures are intended to close educational gaps, build confidence among tribal youth, and create a sustainable pipeline of skilled students ready to contribute to India’s development.

    According to Ajeet Kumar Srivastava, Commissioner, NESTS, these collaborations are “a testament to our commitment to providing tribal students with opportunities to realise their full potential. Through these initiatives, we aim to bridge gaps in education and empower the next generation of tribal leaders.”

    NESTS, under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, runs Eklavya Model Residential Schools nationwide to ensure quality education for tribal students. UNICEF India continues to partner with the government in advancing inclusive education, while Tata Motors and the Ex-Navodayan Foundation bring industry experience and academic expertise to strengthen outcomes for tribal youth.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Protection Fund in June 2025 Hits $716 Million

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has released its monthly report on Protection Fund which has reached a high of $716 million in June 2025, more than doubling its original benchmark of $300 million. The fund, designed to serve as a safeguard for users in extreme market conditions, maintained a consistent 6,500 BTC balance throughout the month. Its value fluctuated with market prices, with the average monthly valuation settling at around $687 million.

    The highest daily valuation was recorded on June 9, driven by BTC prices topping $110,000. At its lowest on June 22, the fund stood at approximately $655 million, still well above the pledged minimum. This level of reserve reflects a stable security buffer that operates independently of insurance or third-party guarantees.

    Since its launch, the fund has been monitored in real-time through publicly visible wallet addresses, offering full transparency into its assets. It is held entirely in BTC and USDT, allowing it to remain liquid and responsive to market shifts. Bitget has kept the fund for emergencies, positioning it strictly as a protective reserve in case of major incidents such as hacks, exploit attempts, or abnormal losses on the platform.

    Originally launched with a $300 million reserve, the fund has grown by over 140%, aligned with the appreciation of BTC holdings and Bitget’s strategic focus on market insurance. The fund’s value fluctuates in accordance with the price of Bitcoin, with May’s performance boosted by BTC trading above $110,000 on multiple occasions.

    June’s figures arrive at a time when crypto markets continue to move unpredictably, and user trust is tied more closely than ever to platform security. The Protection Fund has quietly grown into one of the largest exchange reserves of its kind, offering users reassurance without the need for claims or long settlement processes.

    In an industry where security promises are often tested after the fact, the Bitget Protection Fund remains one of the few safety nets that is not only pre-funded and on-chain but also well above its original target. The June 2025 update shows that user protection is not just an afterthought it’s a standing reserve, ready as needed.

    With monthly Merkle Tree audits verifying full asset backing and ISO 27001:2022 certification asserting best-in-class protocols, the platform integrates SSL encryption and an advanced risk control system that actively monitors suspicious activity. This combination of rigorous standards and real-time protection has kept Bitget breach-free since 2018 and contributed to its AAA security rating and helped reinforce user confidence to set a benchmark for transparency across the industry.

    TIANJIN, July 10 (Xinhua) — Igor Khodachek, director of the Eurasian Studies Center of the European University at St. Petersburg, entered his name on a computer while visiting the Tianjin Vocational Institute of Light Industry and a laser marking machine engraved his name on the surface of a metal plate.

    “This is a wonderful souvenir of this trip,” said I. Khodachek, who participated in the “Dialogue of World Mayors – SCO Summit Cities,” which was held from July 6 to 9 in Tianjin, northern China. During the event, guests at the aforementioned institute visited an exhibition hall dedicated to Lu Ban’s Workshop and a base integrating production and training in the field of high-precision instrument manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing.

    Lu Ban Workshop, named after the famous ancient Chinese craftsman Lu Ban, is a brand of international vocational education initiated and promoted by Tianjin City Government.

    To date, China has built 34 Lu Ban Workshops in 30 countries and regions around the world. 10 of them were established in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Pakistan, Cambodia, Egypt and other SCO countries.

    With the construction of a practical training center and the provision of modern teaching equipment in Lu Ban Workshop, Chinese teachers and technical personnel are also sent to learn technical skills from local teachers who may be invited to China for experience exchange.

    Since 2022, Wu Zhengpeng, a teacher from Tianjin Vocational and Technical Institute of Urban Administration and Construction, has been teaching at Lu Ban Workshop in Tajikistan using China’s advanced equipment and 3D teaching resources.

    “We had a comprehensive discussion with the teachers of the Tajik side and jointly formulated the curriculum, discussed the methodology and agreed to invite them to Tianjin for exchanges,” Wu Zhengpeng shared. In July last year, representatives of the teachers and students of the Tajik Technical University named after Academician M.S. Osimi visited Tianjin as planned.

    Lu Ban’s workshop provides an opportunity for more and more young people from SCO countries to study abroad.

    Ibrahim Maher, a 21-year-old student from Egypt, is currently studying at Tianjin Light Industry Vocational and Technical Institute under the Lu Ban Workshop project, majoring in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology.

    “Lu Ban Workshop has many advanced teaching equipment and data centers from China, which enables students to transform theoretical knowledge into practical skills and adapt to the working environment more quickly. We are also provided with many opportunities to visit companies, participate in internships, and experience a large number of projects in practice,” he said.

    At the end of the tour, Director of the Institute of World Politics of Kyrgyzstan Sheradil Baktygulov said that Lu Ban’s Workshop provides assistance to Kyrgyzstan in developing such areas as robotics, autonomous driving and computer technology.

    At present, Lu Ban’s Workshop is an important platform for international exchanges and cooperation in the field of professional education, and also serves as a bridge to promote humanities exchanges and the rapprochement of peoples. -0-

No insurance is required for patients on Medicaid, and is accepted for patients on Medicare. The entire process is designed to be simple, supportive, and stress-free.

    “Too often, older adults who face language barriers, low health or digital literacy, or systemic inequities are left to navigate fragmented healthcare systems on their own,” said Christopher Joseph, Executive Director of EngageWell IPA. “Through the Healthy Aging Program, we’re not just delivering services – we’re building a care model rooted in dignity, cultural relevance, and trust. By combining community-based outreach with user-friendly technology, we’re bridging gaps and creating lasting pathways to better health for aging New Yorkers.”

    The program is now live and being offered in partnership with community-based organizations and care navigators throughout New York City. By combining technology, human connection, and wrap-around support, the Healthy Aging Program helps ensure older adults stay healthy, informed, and in control of their care, without ever needing to leave home. CONTINUED… Read this full press release and more news for Treatment.com AI at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-true/.

    Other recent developments in the healthcare industry of note include:

    CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) has recently announced the opening of its new Workforce Innovation and Talent Center (WITC) in Chicago. The center, situated at the Chicago Baptist Institute, will improve the community’s access to workforce training services and provide every participant who completes the program an opportunity to apply for a position at CVS Health.

    The WITC will transform lives in the Chicago community, like that of Catrina Malone. Her journey began when she attended an informational session while pursuing a film career. Now, as a pharmacy technician at CVS Health, Catrina shares her story: “Growing up in an unstable home environment, I faced many barriers. My mother struggled with substance abuse, and there were times when I didn’t know where my next meal would come from. With the support of my legal guardian, I stayed determined to forge my own path and build a career despite the odds being against me. This new role as a pharmacy technician for CVS Pharmacy has given me just that. Through this center and the kindness of everyone here, I’ve felt truly encouraged and supported — and for that, I am extremely thankful.”

    Teladoc Health, Inc. (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in virtual care, recently announced earlier this year it has acquired UpLift, an innovative and tech-enabled provider of virtual mental health therapy, psychiatry and medication management services.

    The acquisition supports the company’s strategy to further enhance its leadership position in virtual mental health, including the ability for consumers served by its BetterHelp segment to access benefits coverage for mental health services. UpLift serves the health plan market and has arrangements covering over 100 million lives, a network of over 1,500 mental health professionals, important capabilities and a talented team.

    Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine and patient care, recently announced the expansion of its care pathway intelligence platform, Tempus Next, into breast cancer. Since its launch in 2024, Tempus Next has screened thousands of patients across its network of provider sites, helping close critical care gaps for patients with lung cancer. Now, the platform will support five different biomarker testing gaps specific to breast cancer with the goal of helping physicians deliver guideline-directed medical care to eligible patients.

    Tempus Next supports physicians administering guideline-based care by surfacing care gaps and identifying patients who may benefit from these guideline-based suggestions. The platform integrates multimodal data available in the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR) with up-to-date clinical guidelines to support providers in delivering guideline-based care. As with lung cancer, clinical guidelines around breast cancer are continually evolving, and Tempus is working to help providers keep pace, starting at Mercy, which has already integrated Tempus Next for both breast and lung cancer into its EMR system to support patient care. Mercy has over 1,000 physician practice locations and outpatient facilities, more than 5,000 physicians and advanced practitioners serving patients across Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

    Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS) the leading digital health and wellness platform, recently announced its plans to bring its affordable, holistic weight loss program to Canada, timed with the anticipated first-ever availability of generic semaglutide anywhere in the world. This move follows the recent closing of the company’s acquisition of ZAVA, the pioneering digital health platform in Europe.

    Almost two thirds of adults in Canada are overweight or living with obesity, yet access to proven treatments remains limited due to high costs and availability. With branded semaglutide often priced out of reach, the introduction of generics marks a pivotal moment for access to care. Hims & Hers plans to offer access to lower-cost treatment options through its digital platform, paired with 24/7 access to licensed providers and personalized, clinically backed care plans. In Canada, branded semaglutide with no surrounding clinical support currently costs more than C$200 a month. The price for generic semaglutide is expected to be available at a significant discount to the branded versions, with the prices expected to lower over time.

    • Adds cash flow positive revenue, enhances PMGC’s exposure to U.S. semiconductor and artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure growth, and marks the launch of its strategic acquisition program targeting U.S. businesses.

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PMGC Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ELAB) (the “Company,” “PMGC,” “we,” or “us”), a diversified public holding company, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Pacific Sun Packaging Inc. (“Pacific Sun”) a specialized custom IT packaging company based in San Clemente, California.

    About Pacific Sun Packaging Inc.

    Founded in 2011, Pacific Sun Packaging Inc. is a specialty packaging provider focused on high-precision, component-level packaging solutions for the electronics and information technology (“IT”) hardware industries. The company designs and supplies custom-engineered protective packaging for delicate components such as central processing units (CPUs), memory modules (DIMMs and SO-DIMMs), solid state drives (SSDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), and fiber-optic transceivers, serving customers across the semiconductor, data center, and networking equipment supply chains.

Its products are widely used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, and contract manufacturers requiring scalable, reliable, and technically compliant packaging options. Known for its engineering agility, fulfillment reliability, and component-specific packaging expertise, the company operates a lean, cash-generative model from its base in San Clemente, California.

    In fiscal years 2023 and 2024, Pacific Sun generated combined revenue of $2,151,418.

    Strategic Rationale

    The acquisition of Pacific Sun marks the first completed transaction in PMGC’s broader acquisition strategy, which targets businesses with consistent earnings, strong fundamentals, and scalable platforms.

  • MIL-OSI: Reliance Global Group Reduces Debt by 50%, Cutting Annual Debt Service by Over $1.8 Million

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAKEWOOD, NJ, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (“Reliance,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) today announced that it has repaid approximately $5.55 million, or approximately 50% of its long term debt, a strategic action that reduces its leverage, strengthens its balance sheet, and enhances financial flexibility. The repayments were funded through proceeds from the recently announced asset sale of Fortman Insurance Services, a wholly owned subsidiary, which generated $5.0 million in cash for the Company, with the remainder coming from the release of cash collateral held in our restricted cash accounts. As a result, annual principal, interest and service fee payments are expected to decline from approximately $2.95 million to $1.1 million — a reduction of over $1.8 million, or 61%.

    “Reducing our debt by approximately 50% marks a transformative milestone for Reliance and is a direct result of the financial execution and operational improvements made across the business,” said Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group. “This achievement reflects the strength of our cash position and our commitment to long-term financial health. By lowering our annual debt service obligations by over $1.8 million, we are meaningfully enhancing our cash flow profile. These steps also create greater flexibility to support strategic initiatives, such as our planned acquisition of Spetner Associates (“Spetner”).”

    Joel Markovits, Chief Financial Officer of Reliance Global Group, added, “Deleveraging our balance sheet has been a long-term goal for the Company, and also partially executes on our strategy to fund the Spetner deal by enhancing our leverage ratio, which often is a key factor to investors and lenders. Our disciplined approach to managing cash flows, expenditures and capital allocation, reflects our fiscal responsibility and strategic focus on long-term value creation that will support exponential operational growth, wider margins, and greater returns to our investors and shareholders.”

    About Reliance Global Group, Inc.

    Reliance Global Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELI) is an InsurTech pioneer, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud-based technologies, to transform and improve efficiencies in the insurance agency/brokerage industry.

You can identify these statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “potential,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, statements regarding:

    • Our expectations regarding the financial and operational benefits of our recent debt reduction, including enhanced cash flow, reduced debt service obligations, and improved financial flexibility;

    • Our expectation that the Spetner acquisition will be completed on commercially reasonable terms and will meaningfully contribute to our cash flow and long-term value creation;
    • Our intention to continue leveraging our scalable InsurTech platform and streamlined capital structure to pursue margin expansion and operating leverage; and
    • Other statements relating to our future growth, financial performance, business strategy, and operational execution.

There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove accurate.

    Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including: delays or failure to complete the Spetner acquisition; challenges in realizing anticipated cost savings or cash flow improvements; unexpected integration issues; competitive pressures in the InsurTech and insurance agency markets; adverse economic or regulatory developments; and other factors described under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  • MIL-OSI: Fusion Fuel Green PLC Announces Reverse Share Split to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Rule

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBLIN, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – Fusion Fuel Green PLC (Nasdaq: HTOO) (“Fusion Fuel” or the “Company”) today announced a 1-for-35 reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares by way of a share consolidation.

    The Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “HTOO” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, July 14, 2025. The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares following the Reverse Share Split will be G3R25D 209.

    The Reverse Share Split is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.

    The Reverse Share Split was approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) on June 25, 2025, immediately following the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on June 25, 2025 at 3:00 pm (Dublin time) (the “AGM”). At the AGM, the shareholders of the Company approved a resolution to consolidate the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares (with a nominal value of $0.0001 per share) in the authorized but unissued and in the authorized and issued share capital of the Company, at a ratio to be determined by the Board, provided that such consolidation shall be effected at a ratio of not fewer than every 4 Class A Ordinary Shares and not more than every 40 Class A Ordinary Shares being consolidated into 1 Class A Ordinary Share, with the final ratio and timing of implementation of the consolidation to be determined by the Board. In addition, at the AGM, the shareholders approved a resolution, subject to and immediately following the implementation of the Reverse Share Split, to increase the Company’s authorized share capital by such amount as is necessary to ensure that, following the Reverse Share Split, the Company shall have 100,000,000 authorized Class A Ordinary Shares, each with a nominal value that will reflect the ratio applied by the Board in implementing the Reverse Share Split (the “Authorized Capital Increase”).

    Accordingly, as a result of the Reverse Share Split, every 35 of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company as of the effective time of the Reverse Share Split will be consolidated into one Class A Ordinary Share. The number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares will adjust from approximately 27,418,159 shares to approximately 783,376 shares (subject to adjustment due to the effect of rounding up fractional shares into whole shares). In addition, the Reverse Share Split will effect a reduction in the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Company’s equity awards, warrants, and convertible preferred shares outstanding as of the effective time of the Reverse Share Split with a corresponding increase in the exercise or conversion price per share. As a result of the Authorized Share Capital Increase, the number of authorized Class A Ordinary Shares will continue to be 100,000,000 shares. The nominal value of each of the Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to $0.0035. The other terms of the Class A Ordinary Shares will not be affected.

    No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Share Split. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Share Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Share Split. Registered shareholders are not required to take any action to receive post-Reverse Share Split shares. Shareholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms need not take any action as the effect of the Reverse Share Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.

    Additional information about the Reverse Share Split can be found in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 10, 2025, which is available free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, and on the Company’s website at https://www.fusion-fuel.eu/.

  • MIL-OSI: Byrna Technologies Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ANDOVER, Mass., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a personal defense technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today reported select financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended May 31, 2025.

    Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Operational Highlights

    • Launched the Byrna Compact Launcher (CL), a 38% smaller launcher than the flagship Byrna SD that delivers the same force per square inch as the Byrna LE. The CL is now available for purchase on Amazon and is featured in Amazon’s Prime Day sales event from July 8-11, 2025.
    • Expanded Byrna’s store-within-a-store concept with Sportsman’s Warehouse, now operating in 12 stores with an additional 10 stores expected to open in the third quarter.
    • Successfully ramping company-owned retail locations launched earlier this year. Byrna’s five locations combined averaged $69,000 in sales during May. Notably, the Scottsdale location reached a sales run rate comparable to Byrna’s long-established Las Vegas store within just a few months of opening.
    • Added Tucker Carlson to the roster of celebrity influencers to amplify brand awareness and promote the normalization of less-lethal solutions.

    Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
    Results compare the fiscal second quarter ended May 31, 2025 (“Q2 2025”) to the fiscal second quarter ended May 31, 2024 (“Q2 2024”) unless otherwise indicated.

    Net revenue for Q2 2025 grew 41% year-over-year to $28.5 million from $20.3 million in Q2 2024. The strong year-over-year growth was primarily attributable to the launch of the CL, increased dealer sales, and broader brand adoption.

    Gross profit for Q2 2025 increased to $17.6 million (62% of net revenue) from $12.6 million (62% of net revenue) in Q2 2024, reflecting the strong increase in sales. The introduction of the CL contributed to a favorable product sales mix that offset any decrease due to a change in channel mix which resulted in stronger dealer sales.

    Operating expenses for Q2 2025 were $14.2 million, compared to $10.6 million for Q2 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher variable selling expenses, payroll costs, and increased discretionary marketing spend.

    Net income for Q2 2025 was $2.4 million, an increase from $2.1 million for Q2 2024, driven by an overall increase in product sales which was partially offset with higher income tax expense for the quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA1, a non-GAAP metric reconciled below, for Q2 2025 totaled $4.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q2 2024.

    Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at May 31, 2025 totaled $13.0 million compared to $25.7 million at November 30, 2024. The decrease reflects the planned increase in inventory ahead of the Compact Launcher release and normal seasonal working capital movements. Inventory at May 31, 2025 totaled $32.3 million, compared to $20.0 million at November 30, 2024. The Company has no current or long-term debt.

    Management Commentary
    Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz stated: “The launch of the Byrna CL in May helped us deliver a record $28.5 million in revenue for the second quarter. Despite overall softness in consumer spending, our focused marketing and retail expansion strategies allowed us to continue growing our total addressable market and reach new milestones. Looking ahead, we expect that the CL will be a larger part of our sales mix, especially now that it is available to customers on Amazon.

    “Our dealer channel is also becoming a larger percentage of total sales, increasing 106% in the second quarter, supported by our partnership with Sportsman’s Warehouse. We’ve successfully rolled out the first 12 store-within-a-store locations and plan to add another 10 stores in the third quarter in addition to 38 stores with a point of sale display.

    “Our company-owned stores continue to outperform expectations, with five locations collectively averaging $69,000 in sales during May. Our Scottsdale location, which has only been open for a few months, is already performing at levels similar to our longstanding retail store in Las Vegas. We believe our company-owned stores will continue to perform well and become strong contributors as we further increase local and national brand awareness.

    “On the marketing front, we continue to diversify our approach. We recently added Tucker Carlson to our roster of celebrity influencers, and while it is still early, initial web traffic trends have been encouraging. Additionally, we’ve begun integrating AI tools into our content production, which is already helping us accelerate creative testing and expand our marketing reach.

    “Operationally, we have adjusted production to align with current demand following the CL launch and elevated inventory build. Ahead of the CL debut, production was running heavy in an effort to prepare for the launch. We are now producing at a steady state pace of 15,000 units per month and have implemented a more efficient assembly structure that allows us to maintain output with a smaller, more agile workforce.

    “Looking ahead, we expect consumer sentiment to remain subdued, which may continue to limit near-term revenue upside. However, we are confident that the growing momentum of the CL and our expanding retail presence position us well to deliver strong year-over-year growth in the second half of the year. We also expect our cash position to increase as our heightened inventory levels normalize over the coming quarters. While the third quarter is typically a seasonally slower period for Byrna, we remain focused on executing against our operational priorities, expanding market awareness, and setting the stage for a strong finish to the year.”

    The Company’s management will host a conference call today, July 10, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (6:00 a.m. Pacific time) to discuss these results, followed by a question-and-answer period.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP) with presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measure.

    Accordingly, we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

    This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.
             

    Adjusted EBITDA

    Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income excluding the impact of (I) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income tax provision (benefit); (iii) interest income (expense); (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) impairment loss, and (vi) one time, non-recurring other expenses or income. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows (in thousands):

          For the Three Months Ended   For the Six Months Ended  
          May 31   May 31  
            2025       2024       2025       2024    
    Net Income (Loss)   $ 2,427     $ 2,077     $ 4,089     $ 2,094    
                         
    Adjustments:                  
      Interest income     (116 )     (323 )     (303 )     (604 )  
      Income tax expense     898       3       1,038       3    
      Depreciation and amortization     252       165       437       335    
    Non-GAAP EBITDA   $ 3,461     $ 1,922     $ 5,261     $ 1,828    
                         
    Stock-based compensation expense     723       858       1,562       1,796    
    Severance/Separation/Officer recruiting     116           246       175    
    Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA   $ 4,300     $ 2,780     $ 7,069     $ 3,799

  • MIL-OSI: 180 Degree Capital Corp. Notes Business and Merger-Related Updates Including:

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • PRELIMINARY NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE AS OF JUNE 30, 2025, OF $4.80
    • THE FILING OF AN UPDATED PRELIMINARY JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH MOUNT LOGAN CAPITAL INC.
    • PLAN TO SCHEDULE SHAREHOLDER CALL DURING WEEK OF JULY 14, 2025.

    MONTCLAIR, N.J., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 180 Degree Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:TURN) (“180 Degree Capital”) today announced its preliminary net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of June 30, 2025, of $4.80, which is an increase of approximately 8.6% from the prior quarter, and 3.4% year-to-date.

    180 Degree Capital also noted the filing of an amended preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, regarding its proposed merger with Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“Mount Logan”) in an all-stock transaction (the “Business Combination”). As noted in its original press release issued on January 17, 2025, the surviving entity is expected to be a Delaware corporation operating as Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“New Mount Logan”) listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MLCI”. In connection with the Business Combination, 180 Degree Capital shareholders will receive proportionate ownership of New Mount Logan determined by reference to 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value at closing relative to a valuation of Mount Logan of approximately $67.4 million at signing, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments.

    In addition, Kevin Rendino and Daniel Wolfe plan to host a shareholder call during the week of July 14, 2025, to discuss the preliminary results from Q2 2025, and will be joined by Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Mount Logan, to discuss the proposed Business Combination. The date and time of this call will be announced in a subsequent release as we gain greater clarity regarding the timing of our registration statement relating to the Business Combination being declared effective by the SEC.

    “We are proud of our performance during Q2 2025, that led to a material increase in NAV during the quarter and positive year-to-date performance,” commented Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180 Degree Capital. “As we mentioned in our press release on June 27, 2025, our focus is on minimizing expenses and maximizing NAV heading into our proposed Business Combination. Our year-to-date net total return (increase in net asset value per share) of $0.16, or +3.4% compares favorably to the +1.1% total return of the Russell Microcap Index. We note that this increase in NAV and outperformance includes a material portion of the ultimate total expenses of the Business Combination that will occur. I also note that our NAV continues to be negatively impacted by legal expenses incurred as a result of efforts by certain shareholders to interfere our proposed Business Combination. Our gross total return of our public investments through the first six months of 2025 of approximately +16.0% compares very favorably to the -1.1% total return of the Russell Microcap Index. Q3 2025 has started similarly well, with continued strong performance of our investment portfolio leading to a NAV as of July 8, 2025, that is approaching $5.00 per share.”

    “As constructive activists, we spend a significant amount of time with our investee management teams and boards, as well as understanding the fundamentals of their businesses,” added Daniel B. Wolfe, President of 180 Degree Capital. “Through this work, we believed, and continue to believe, that there are material value creation opportunities for our holdings at least through the anticipated close of the Business Combination, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. While future returns may be different than those to date, we believe our performance year-to-date sets our shareholders up well to maximize NAV heading into the merger, and then the potential to build significant future value off that foundation as an operating company combined with Mount Logan.”

    Mr. Rendino concluded, “We believe we are close to completing the SEC review process, which will allow 180 Degree Capital to commence its efforts to seek shareholder approval for the Business Combination. We believe this proposed Business Combination is a unique opportunity for future value creation for all of 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders. In the meantime, we appreciate the questions, comments and continued strong support from our existing and new shareholders who share in our excitement for this next chapter.”

    About 180 Degree Capital Corp.

    180 Degree Capital Corp. is a publicly traded registered closed-end fund focused on investing in and providing value-added assistance through constructive activism to what we believe are substantially undervalued small, publicly traded companies that have potential for significant turnarounds. Our goal is that the result of our constructive activism leads to a reversal in direction for the share price of these investee companies, i.e., a 180-degree turn.

    LONDON, UK, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GoldenMining, a UK-based provider of cloud-based cryptocurrency mining infrastructure, has announced a significant milestone in its international expansion strategy. The update comes in light of recent regulatory developments in the United States, which many in the industry view as a positive step toward greater clarity for digital asset businesses.

    The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under Chairman Paul Atkins, has recently advanced discussions around two cryptocurrency-focused bills—the “GENIUS Act” and the “CLARITY Act.” These proposed frameworks aim to establish stablecoin protections and potentially exclude Ethereum (ETH) from securities classification, thereby reducing legal uncertainty for crypto-related operations.

    GoldenMining, which has operated across multiple markets for years, has responded to this policy momentum by increasing investment in its global infrastructure. The company reports that its total number of active cloud mining units has surpassed one million—a first in its operational history—and that it will be launching additional data centers in Asia and Latin America in Q3 2025.

    “These policy signals offer a more stable environment for infrastructure providers like us,” said a spokesperson for GoldenMining. “We see this as an opportune time to accelerate the rollout of our decentralized mining services and bring more global users into the crypto ecosystem—safely and sustainably.”

    GoldenMining’s systems are built to support a multi-currency mining environment, and the company has emphasized its commitment to high-speed settlement protocols, infrastructure transparency, and security-first architecture.

    From Inspiration to Execution: The AI Knowledge Worker Revolution
    Super Agent transforms how people interact with AI by functioning as a true professional AI partner rather than just an assistant. What sets Super Agent apart is its ability to handle entire workflows from start to finish. Unlike conventional AI tools limited by token limits or requiring constant hand-holding, Super Agent operates on its own dedicated computer in the same way humans do—running extensive data analysis, coding and validating full applications, conducting comprehensive research, building websites, and delivering high-quality results in the user’s preferred format.

    Cerebras Partnership: Powering the Next Generation of AI Agents
    Central to Super Agent’s capabilities is NinjaTech AI’s strategic partnership with Cerebras Systems, pioneers in fast inference. The partnership brings together NinjaTech’s proprietary AI models with Cerebras’s wafer-scale architecture to deliver unprecedented speed.

    “Our partnership with NinjaTech AI demonstrates the transformative potential of Cerebras’s Wafer-Scale technology in supporting Advanced Agentic AI that’s not just smarter, but dramatically faster,” said Andrew Feldman, CEO and Co-founder of Cerebras Systems. “Advanced AI agents like Ninja’s Super Agent generate massive amounts of tokens for each task and by hosting their custom models on our chips, we’re enabling their autonomous agents to deliver results that would normally take 10-20 minutes in 1-2 minutes; which makes the experience truly magical!”

    This partnership expands NinjaTech AI’s infrastructure beyond their existing AWS relationship, creating a powerful multi-platform approach that optimizes for both performance and scalability.

    Dedicated Virtual Machines: Privacy and Performance for Each User
    Each user gets their own isolated VM, ensuring complete data privacy and security. This enables Super Agent to download tools, write and execute code, create applications, analyze data, and build websites or dashboards autonomously—all within a secure environment that’s not shared with other users. Coming soon, Super Agent will also include a virtual smartphone capability, allowing it to interact with mobile applications on the user’s behalf.

    Adaptive Intelligence: Speed or Quality When You Need It
    In the coming weeks, Super Agent will introduce a feature that allows users to dynamically switch between two operational modes:

    • Fast Mode: Leveraging our strategic Cerebras partnership, this mode delivers swift, high-caliber responses and accelerated task completion for everyday requests and time-sensitive needs.
    • High-Quality Mode: Purpose-built for complex challenges requiring precision and depth, this mode harnesses advanced processing capabilities to produce premium-grade outputs but with extended processing times.

    “Different tasks demand different approaches,” explained Pahlavan. “By offering both fast and high-quality modes, we’re giving users the flexibility to choose the right option for each specific task.”

    Transforming Productivity Across Industries
    Super Agent is designed to handle complex workflows that would typically take humans hours, days, or even weeks to complete. The agent also integrates with real-time data sources—from financial market feeds to social media analytics and open-source databases—providing quick access to the latest information.

    Super Agent Now Available to the General Public
    Super Agent is available starting July 9, 2025, to the general public. Access to Super Agent for $100/month, giving members a simple, cost-effective alternative to the unpredictable token usage and performance limits of other AI solutions.
