  • MIL-OSI USA: Ever-changing universe revealed in first imagery from NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory

    Source: US Government research organizations

    From distant stars and galaxies to asteroids whizzing through the solar system, this next-generation facility unveils its first imagery and brings the night sky to life like never before

    The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a major new scientific facility jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, released its first imagery today at an event in Washington, D.C. The imagery shows cosmic phenomena captured at an unprecedented scale. In just over 10 hours of test observations, NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory has already captured millions of galaxies and Milky Way stars and thousands of asteroids. The imagery is a small preview of Rubin Observatory’s upcoming 10-year scientific mission to explore and understand some of the universe’s biggest mysteries.

    “The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory demonstrates that the United States remains at the forefront of international basic science and highlights the remarkable achievements we get when the many parts of the national research enterprise work together,” said Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “The Rubin Observatory is an investment in our future, which will lay down a cornerstone of knowledge today on which our children will proudly build tomorrow.”

    “NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will capture more information about our universe than all optical telescopes throughout history combined,” said Brian Stone, performing the duties of the NSF director. “Through this remarkable scientific facility, we will explore many cosmic mysteries, including the dark matter and dark energy that permeate the universe.”

    “We’re entering a golden age of American science,” said Harriet Kung, acting director of DOE’s Office of Science. “NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory reflects what’s possible when the federal government backs world-class engineers and scientists with the tools to lead. This facility will drive discovery, inspire future innovators and unleash American excellence through scientific leadership.”

    Made from over 1,100 images captured by NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the video begins with a close-up of two galaxies then zooms out to reveal about 10 million galaxies. Those 10 million galaxies are roughly .05% of the approximately 20 billion galaxies Rubin Observatory will capture during its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time.Credit: NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory

    The result of more than two decades of work, Rubin Observatory is perched at the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile, where dry air and dark skies provide one of the world’s best observing locations. Rubin’s innovative 8.4-meter telescope has the largest digital camera ever built, which feeds a powerful data processing system. Later in 2025, Rubin will begin its primary mission, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, in which it will ceaselessly scan the sky nightly for 10 years to precisely capture every visible change.

    The result will be an ultrawide, ultra-high-definition time-lapse record of the universe. It will bring the sky to life with a treasure trove of billions of scientific discoveries. The images will reveal asteroids and comets, pulsating stars, supernova explosions, far-off galaxies and perhaps cosmic phenomena that no one has seen before.

    In about 10 hours of observations, NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory discovered 2,104 never-before-seen asteroids in our solar system, including seven near-Earth asteroids (which pose no danger). Annually, about 20,000 asteroids are discovered in total by all other ground and space-based observatories. Rubin Observatory alone will discover millions of new asteroids within the first two years of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Rubin will also be the most effective observatory at spotting interstellar objects passing through the solar system.Credit: NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory

    Rubin Observatory is named in honor of trailblazing U.S. astronomer Vera C. Rubin, who found conclusive evidence of vast quantities of invisible material known as dark matter. Understanding the nature of dark matter, dark energy and other large-scale cosmic mysteries is a central focus of Rubin Observatory’s mission. Dark energy is what scientists call the mysterious and colossally powerful force that appears to be causing galaxies in the universe to move away from each other at an accelerating rate. Although dark matter and dark energy collectively comprise 95% of the universe, their properties remain unknown.

    Rubin Observatory will also be the most efficient and effective solar system discovery machine ever built. Rubin will take about a thousand images of the Southern Hemisphere sky every night, allowing it to cover the entire visible Southern sky every three to four nights. In doing so, it will find millions of unseen asteroids, comets and interstellar objects. Rubin will be a game changer for planetary defense by spotting far more asteroids than ever before, potentially identifying some that might impact the Earth or moon.

    This image combines 678 separate images taken by NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in just over seven hours of observing time. Combining many images in this way clearly reveals otherwise faint or invisible details, such as the clouds of gas and dust that comprise the Trifid nebula (top right) and the Lagoon nebula, which are several thousand light-years away from Earth.

    The amount of data gathered by Rubin Observatory in its first year alone will be greater than that collected by all other optical observatories combined. This treasure trove of data will help scientists make countless discoveries about the universe and will serve as an incomparable resource for scientific exploration for decades to come.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Plymouth raises the flag, marking the start of Armed Forces Week

    Source: City of Plymouth

    The Armed Forces Flag was raised today following a ceremony outside Plymouth Guildhall, marking the start of Armed Forces Week.

    The ceremony was attended by the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Councillor Kathy Watkin and Captain Iain Ritchie representing the Naval Base Commander, alongside other military and civic leaders.

    The flag will be flown all week, as events take place across the city, including the Strength of Spirit Games Rehabilitation Triathlon, hosted by the Royal Navy on Thursday 26 June and Armed Forces Day in association with Babcock International, on Saturday 28 June, both on Plymouth Hoe.

    Councillor Sally Haydon, Cabinet Member for Events, said: “Plymouth is incredibly proud of its military history and Armed Forces based in the city. Armed Forces Week is an opportunity to celebrate and say thank you to our military, from serving personnel to reservists, veterans and cadets, for all the admirable work they do.

    “On Thursday we are extremely privileged to be able to hold the Strength of Spirit Games, ahead of celebrating Armed Forces Day on Plymouth Hoe, which is looking to be a truly spectacular event.”

    Captain Iain Richie, HMNB Devonport’s Captain of the Base (COB) said: “Armed Forces Week in Plymouth is a celebration of the strong relationship between the Armed Forces based in and around the city and the community that supports us.  People will know that ships, submarines, Commandos, Gunners, and medical personnel from Plymouth are continually deployed to protect the UK and provide stability around the globe; none of that would be possible without the support of the people of Plymouth. Events this week will showcase our close bond with the city.”

    Visitors are encouraged to come along to Plymouth Hoe and watch the athletes compete in the Strength of Spirit Games Rehabilitation Triathlon, sponsored by AECOM and Defence Recovery. The event starts with the swim at Tinside Lido, followed by the cycle and static row, before crossing the all-important finish line!

    For the second year running the games will include the Plymouth School Sports Partnership Junior Rowing Challenge, sponsored by AECOM, from 10am to 11.15am, also on Plymouth Hoe. This will see children from military families will take part in their own thrilling rowing challenge, representing 24 local primary schools.

    Darren Carlile, Head of National Security UK&I AECOM, said: “AECOM is proud to stand behind the Armed Forces community, including serving personnel and veterans. As a former member of the Corps of Royal Engineers and a colleague to many fellow veterans, I witness daily the exceptional skills and value they bring to our organisation.

    “We’re honoured to once again support the Strength of Spirit Games, including the inspiring Rehabilitation Triathlon, and we’ll be cheering on all the remarkable athletes taking part. We’re also thrilled to back the Plymouth School Sports Partnership Junior Rowing Challenge and wish every student competing the very best of luck.”

    There will be plenty more interactive displays, military equipment, thrilling demonstrations, and entertainment to enjoy at Armed Forces Day, delivered in association with Babcock , on Saturday, from 10am. Visitors can get up close to the Merlin Mk4 helicopter and chat to the aircrew, and watch an air demonstration from 4pm, with the Swordfish W5856, Yak-52 and the Black Cats Helicopter Display. (Subject to weather).

    John Gane, Site Managing Director of Babcock’s Devonport facility, said: “Celebrating the significant contribution that our Armed Forces bring to the nation through this series of events is fantastic.

    Leader of the Council Bev Craig welcomes the new strategy that has the potential to create jobs, while attracting new business and supporting growth.

    Cllr Craig said: 

    “Manchester is the fastest-growing UK city and will be at the forefront of creating thousands of new jobs and growing the country’s economy. Finally, we have a Government with a long term national Industrial Strategy focused on attracting investment, making it easier for businesses to grow, protecting jobs and -crucially – backing our plans locally. Having just returned from a Greater Manchester International Trade Mission, we know the difference this makes. 

    “Manchester already has globally recognised strengths in many of the key priority sectors identified – such as life sciences, professional, legal and business services, creative industries and digital, tech and AI – this will supercharge them even more.

    “It’s great to see the Government announce an Industrial Strategy Council to oversee delivery and even better news that Manchester has been chosen as its headquarters.  In a changing world, the world’s first industrial city is well-placed to help shape the dynamic industries of the future.”

  • MIL-OSI: Aster launches Hidden Orders: Invisible orders, visible advantage

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aster, the next-generation decentralized perpetual exchange (perp DEX) backed by YZi Labs, proudly unveils its latest upgrade on Aster Pro: Hidden Orders. Hidden orders empower traders with powerful stealth execution when trading perpetuals.

    With this launch, Aster – ranked second globally by perp DEX trading volume – becomes the first perp DEX to introduce fully integrated hidden orders, once again pushing the frontier of DeFi innovation.

    On Aster, traders who select hidden orders place limit orders without revealing any size, price, or presence on the public Aster Pro order book. Trades are placed directly into the main matching engine and only become visible after execution.

    “In high-speed, high-stakes perp trading, being seen is often a disadvantage,” shared Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Hidden orders empower traders with full anonymity without compromising liquidity, privacy and fairness.”

    Why decentralized perp trading needs hidden orders

    In cryptocurrency trading, the ability to place large trades without spooking the market is a privilege that separates professionals from amateurs. Institutions and sophisticated traders often rely on advanced order execution strategies like dark pools and hidden orders to hide their intentions and reduce slippage.

    Recent debates among industry leaders have also spotlighted a key tension in current DEX infrastructure: while transparency enables trust, it also exposes large traders to predatory tactics due to real-time order visibility. This underscores a rising demand for privacy-preserving solutions in the perpetual DEX space, ones that can shield traders from front-running and exploitation while still upholding market integrity.

    High-volume traders on centralized exchanges already rely on tools like dark pools or iceberg orders to mask intent. However, each has its drawbacks. Dark pools keep trades completely invisible and with no impact to main markets because trades execute via a separate order book. That said, because of the separate infrastructure, dark pools fragment liquidity and can be less liquid than the main order book. Iceberg orders are anonymous and access deep market liquidity, but will partially reveal intent as a portion of the total order is exposed on the public order book at any one time.

    Hidden orders solve these challenges:

    • Full Privacy: Orders remain invisible until filled, defending price points without signaling intent.
    • Stealth Execution: Slippage is reduced and front-running is avoided in volatile markets.
    • Integrated Liquidity: Hidden orders operate directly inside the main matching engine, preserving centralized liquidity and tight spreads.
    • Superior Speed: Often faster to execute than iceberg orders, with no visible trail.

    Built for anonymity, visible advantage

    The launch of Hidden Orders on Aster Pro marks a major milestone for the industry: Aster is now the first perpetual DEX to natively support hidden orders—a feature previously exclusive to centralized platforms or fragmented DeFi workarounds.

    This upgrade is more than a product release. It’s a clear statement of intent: Aster leads by building—pioneering tools that empower traders with greater control, precision, and privacy in onchain markets.

    With Hidden Orders, traders can now:

    • Defend key price levels without tipping off competitors
    • Enter or exit large positions without front-running risks
    • Execute with full anonymity while still benefiting from Aster’s deep, unified liquidity

    In a market where visibility often works against you, Aster gives traders the power to operate on their own terms.

    Redefining the standard for onchain perpetual trading

    This launch reinforces Aster’s position as an industry leader—not just in volume, but in innovation, execution quality, and trader-first design. From the successful introduction of email login for frictionless onboarding, to the debut of Aster Chain Beta, a privacy-preserving ZK Layer 1 built for high-performance perp trading, Aster is consistently raising the bar for what’s possible in DeFi.

    And while others focus on replicating centralized tools, Aster focuses on protecting its users—by prioritizing:

    • Privacy, with ZK-powered infrastructure
    • Fairness, with MEV-resistant execution
    • Control, with pro-grade tools like Hidden Orders and integrated liquidity

    Aster redefines onchain trading, making it fast, fair, private, and powerful. Experience Hidden Orders now on Aster Pro.

    About Aster

    Aster is a next-generation decentralized perpetual exchange built for everyone. It offers MEV-free, one-click trading with up to 1001x leverage in Simple Mode (BNB Chain, Arbitrum), and pro-grade tools including Hidden Orders in Pro Mode (BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum).

  • MIL-OSI: PBKMiner launches revolutionary XRP mining contract, sparking market enthusiasm

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Carshalton, UK, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PBKMiner’s bold move has attracted the attention of cryptocurrency enthusiasts around the world with the launch of a revolutionary XRP mining model that could mark a turning point for the digital asset. As XRP continues to consolidate, analysts believe a breakout could be imminent.

    XRP has been trading in a relatively tight range in recent months, sparking debate among traders over its next move. As market momentum builds and investor interest picks up, PBKMiner’s newly launched mining contracts are breathing new life into the XRP ecosystem.

    Breaking the Rules: Cloud Mining Contracts Designed for XRP

    Visit the official PBKMiner website: https://pbkminer.com/

    Unlike traditional mining based on proof of work (PoW), XRP uses a consensus protocol, which makes traditional mining infeasible. PBKMiner solves this challenge by introducing a simulated cloud mining model that allows users to receive XRP rewards through mining contracts.

    PBKMiner is a remote digital asset mining platform that allows users to rent computing power from PBKMiner’s high-performance, environmentally friendly mining facilities. The platform supports multiple cryptocurrencies, including XRP, DOGE, BTC, LTC, and SOL, thereby eliminating technical and financial barriers and making passive income more accessible than ever before.

    “This is not just an ordinary cryptocurrency project,” said PBKMiner’s CTO. “We are creating a community-driven growth opportunity in the XRP ecosystem, allowing users to mine through a smart yield mechanism that is consistent with the XRP architecture while providing real and transparent value to users.”

    Main features of PBKMiner XRP cloud mining contract

    – No hardware required: accessible to all users, no mining equipment or technical setup required

    – Daily payouts: earn mining rewards daily based on your contract participation

    – Safe custody: assets are protected by PBKMiner’s industry-grade security standards

    – Flexible contract terms: choose short-term, mid-term or long-term options to match your investment strategy

    Flexible mining plans suitable for all types of investors

    PBKMiner provides more than 10 contract options, allowing users to freely choose the one that suits them best. For example:

    • $10 Mining Contract – 1 Day Term – Earn $0.60 per day
    • $100 Mining Contract – 2 Day Term – Earn $3.50 per day
    • $1,000 Mining Contract – 10 Day Term – Earn $13.50 per day;
    • $5,000 Mining Contract – 30 Day Term – Earn $77.50 per day.

    These innovative programs allow long-term XRP holders to remain invested during market consolidation or corrections while earning steady returns.

    Click here to explore more XRP mining contracts.

    Data from June showed a surge in participation in XRP mining contracts, with tens of thousands of wallets registered during the pilot phase (new users receive a $10 welcome bonus upon signing up). Many in the cryptocurrency community saw this as a positive sign, especially as XRP prices have proven resilient amid overall market volatility.

    How is PBKMiner’s XRP mining contract different?

    • 100% remote access: No hardware, no technical skills required – just log in and activate your plan.
    • Capital protection: The contract guarantees a full return of principal at maturity.
    • AI-driven profitability: Smart optimization ensures returns even during price stagnation.
    • Daily rewards: Predictable XRP payouts improve cash flow and reduce volatility risk.

    How to start mining XRP on PBKMiner

    1. Sign up for an account: Get a $10 bonus plus a $0.60 daily login bonus
    2. Choose a mining contract: Use your bonus to activate a plan or choose your preferred option
    3. Start mining: Sit back and earn – rewards are automatically credited daily

    A smarter way to wait: Income during XRP consolidation periods

    Founded in 2019, PBKMiner has been at the forefront of cloud-based cryptocurrency mining, democratizing access to passive income through a secure, AI-driven, and environmentally friendly infrastructure. The platform helps users mine mainstream cryptocurrencies such as XRP, BTC, SOL, and DOGE without expensive equipment or deep technical knowledge.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Development of cooperation between Russia and China in the field of antimonopoly policy was discussed at the National Research University Higher School of Economics

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    © Higher School of Economics

    The HSE hosted a roundtable discussion entitled “New Challenges for Antitrust Regulation: The Chinese Perspective.” The event was organized by BRICS International Centre for Competition Law and Policy (BRICS Centre). Special guests were Chinese colleagues from the Competition Policy and Assessment Research Centre (CPAC) of the State Administration of Market Regulation of the People’s Republic of China (SAMR). Last year, the BRICS Centre and CPAC SAMR was signed strategic cooperation agreement.

    The meeting was also attended by representatives of the FAS Russia, the Eurasian Economic Commission and employees of the BRICS Centre and Faculty of LawThe discussion was moderated by Alexey Ivanov, Director of the BRICS Centre and Professor of the Faculty of Law at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    He recalled that last year the BRICS Centre developed a draft international fair competition platforms, which were supported antimonopoly authorities of the association. Initiative was approved Vladimir Putin at the Kazan summit last October, and this is now a priority task for the BRICS Centre in the context of multilateral cooperation on competition. Alexey Ivanov noted: “We expect that the Chinese Centre for Competition Policy and Expertise will become a key partner in the development of this platform.”

    The platform is intended to become a basis for the convergence of state policies and law enforcement practices to protect competition. The first stage of the project will be the creation of a unified system of interstate information exchange on economic concentration transactions and on the most pressing problems of socially significant markets. At the same time, the digitalization of cooperation within the BRICS is the key to the success of this “new architecture of international economic life.”

    Deputy Head of the FAS Russia Andrey Tsyganov addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. He covered the history of interaction between the agencies of the two countries, which began in 1996 with the signing of an agreement between the governments of the Russian Federation and China on cooperation in the field of antimonopoly policy and the fight against unfair competition. The current areas of partnership were detailed, including the exchange of best practices, coordination in border markets and joint work within the BRICS framework. “Our countries are the driving force behind cooperation in the BRICS format. Many important projects begin with our initiatives. This cooperation is focused on the so-called socially significant markets: food, pharmaceuticals, digital economy,” the speaker said. Further emphasizing the importance of digitalization, Andrey Tsyganov noted that Russia is carefully studying the experience of China in regulating digital markets, as well as new approaches and solutions of Chinese regulators.

    Deputy Director of CPAC Jie Fang spoke about the structure and activities of the center, as well as the work results of China’s antitrust regulator in 2024. During his speech, he also proposed three areas for further cooperation between the BRICS Center and CPAC: improving the cooperation mechanism by developing a clear direction and a clear understanding of common goals, which includes enhancing the role of CPAC in BRICS with the assistance of Russian colleagues; focusing on issues of mutual interest, which include antitrust supervision and enforcement in vital areas of the economy, developing mechanisms for monitoring the activities of Internet platforms, combating unfair competition in the digital environment, and protecting commercial secrets; developing new methods of cooperation, involving mutual provision of professional advice and assistance on compliance management for companies operating in Russia and China, as well as sharing the latest research results and enhancing the effectiveness of mutual learning.

    In his speech, the head of the HR department of the CPAC, Changqing Wang, drew attention to the key role of human resources in antitrust research, emphasizing the need for educational work and training highly qualified specialists in this field. According to him, since its establishment, the center has paid special attention to supporting young personnel and improving their professional level.

    Liwei Xie, Director of the CPAC Institute of Platform Economy, spoke about the development and regulation of the platform economy in China. She began her report with the latest data on the development of the country’s digital sector, according to which the monthly active mobile Internet users in China have reached 1.26 billion people. The volume of annual online retail sales exceeds 15 trillion yuan, which has allowed the Chinese online retail market to maintain its leading position in the world for 12 years in a row. At the same time, the platform economy has directly or indirectly provided employment for more than 200 million people.

    According to the speaker, China’s platform economy is a multi-layered and multi-faceted system, where e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba, JD.com and Pinduoduo together form a complete matrix and integrate multiple models, including B2C, C2C, B2B. In turn, short video entertainment platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have formed a complete industrial chain, from content creation to intellectual property incubation.

    In recent years, Chinese authorities have been aggressively cracking down on violations such as abuse of dominance, false advertising, counterfeit goods, and price scams. The regulator has conducted a number of high-profile antitrust investigations into Alibaba, Meituan, and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). It has also tightened controls over mergers between companies in the platform economy and is clamping down on the placement of false advertising online. According to the regulator, these measures have already yielded results: major players have become more strict in complying with the rules, and the industry has entered a phase of “stable supervision.”

    The platform economy is supervised according to the principle that “whoever is responsible for the offline sector also supervises the online sector.” SAMR’s area of responsibility includes comprehensive market supervision, covering online trade in goods and services, antitrust activities, and combating unfair competition in the digital environment. The legal basis for this is the Law on Electronic Commerce, the Rules for Supervision of Online Commerce, as well as laws on combating unfair competition, on the protection of personal data, and intellectual property. In 2024, SAMR stepped up the fight against violations in live commerce, including the sale of counterfeit goods and price manipulation. Work is underway to revise laws on pricing and unfair competition, and new regulations are being prepared for streaming services and platforms.

    The Russian experience of regulating digital markets was presented by Irina Nikolaicheva, Head of the Department for Regulation of Communications and Information Technology of the FAS Russia. She reported that the agency is currently developing systemic approaches to the analysis and regulation of digital markets, studying such phenomena as network effects. The basis for this work was the amendments to the Law on Protection of Competition adopted in 2023, known as the fifth antimonopoly package. Before the amendments to the law, the service actively used soft law tools, in particular the “Principles of Good Conduct for Platforms” signed by the largest Russian marketplaces. Experience has shown that an integrated approach combining legislative measures and self-regulation is most effective. As part of the current regulation, the Government of the Russian Federation instructed the Ministry of Economic Development, together with the FAS Russia, to develop a separate bill on platform employment, designed to establish clear and non-discriminatory rules for access to the largest digital platforms, including marketplaces and taxi aggregators, to ensure a balance of interests of operators, market participants and consumers.

    Olga Korolkova, Assistant to the Member of the Board (Minister) for Competition and Antimonopoly Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), shared her experience of supranational regulation. She recalled that the EAEU, which celebrated its 11th anniversary in May 2025, is an international organization of regional economic integration whose task is to ensure the free movement of goods, services, capital and labor. The EEC Competition Block, in turn, ensures this freedom in cross-border markets. As part of the strategic development directions until 2025, the Commission has prepared a draft agreement on e-commerce within the EAEU, establishing requirements for professional market participants, including requirements for platforms and advertising messages, and also touching upon issues of consumer protection, technical regulation, security and customs clearance of digital goods. In addition, the EEC Antimonopoly Block has already amended the methodology for assessing the state of competition, including criteria for analyzing digital markets, such as network effects.

    Summing up the meeting, Alexey Ivanov focused on the unique role of the antimonopoly regulator, which is called upon to act as a mediator and facilitator, taking a neutral and objective position. The regulator’s task is not to protect the interests of one of the parties, such as platform owners or their employees, but to promote the development of competition. The key goal of its activities is to ensure balanced and sustainable development of the market, when the growth and dominance of some participants to the detriment of others is not allowed.

    Speaking about the role of BRICS, Alexey Ivanov emphasized that the association is a “network of networks,” a superstructure over regional associations that performs the function of coordination between various regional structures, and, among other things, helps countries build a synchronized antimonopoly policy.

  • MIL-OSI: Navigate the Crypto Bear Market with 100x Leverage, Double Deposit Bonus and No KYC on BexBack

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In recent weeks, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp downturn. Bitcoin briefly dipped below the $100K mark, and many altcoins saw their value halved within a month. While the bear market can be unsettling, it also offers unique opportunities for experienced traders who know how to navigate through volatility.

    To help traders take full advantage of the current market conditions, BexBack offers powerful tools like 100x leverage, 100% deposit bonus, and no KYC trading. Whether you want to profit from falling prices or manage risks, BexBack has you covered.

    100x Leverage: Profiting from Both Bull and Bear Markets

    With 100x leverage, BexBack allows traders to amplify their potential profits by controlling larger positions with smaller amounts of capital. But what makes leverage especially powerful in a bear market?

    For instance, let’s say Bitcoin is priced at $100,000. If you use 100x leverage and open a position with 1 BTC, you effectively control 100 BTC worth of market exposure. If the price drops to $95,000 the next day, your potential profit is:

    • (100,000 – 95,000) * 100 BTC / 100,000 = 5 BTC.
    • At the current price of $95,000, this translates into a 5 BTC profit (an up to 500% return).

    But that’s not all. With 100x leverage, you can also short the market (bet on falling prices). In a bearish market, you can profit when prices are dropping, which is something traditional spot traders cannot achieve.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?

    In addition to 100x leverage, BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus to enhance your trading potential. If you deposit 1 BTC, you’ll receive an additional 1 BTC bonus, effectively doubling your available capital.

    For example:

    • Deposit: 1 BTC
    • Bonus: +1 BTC
    • Total Trading Capital: 2 BTC

    While the deposit bonus cannot be withdrawn, it can be used as margin to open larger positions and maximize your profits. It also provides extra protection against liquidation, especially during market volatility.

    Why Choose BexBack for Crypto Futures Trading?

    BexBack offers a competitive edge for traders looking to profit in both bull and bear markets:

    • 100x Leverage: Control larger positions and maximize your profit potential in volatile markets.
    • No KYC Required: Start trading immediately without complex identity verification. Your privacy is guaranteed.
    • 100% Deposit Bonus: Double your trading capital instantly and increase your ability to profit.
    • Trade Both Long and Short Positions: With 100x leverage, you can profit from both rising and falling markets.
    • Low Fees: BexBack offers competitive trading fees with no spread fees and no deposit fees, ensuring more of your profits stay in your pocket.
    • 24/7 Support: BexBack provides global customer service at any time to assist with any queries.
    • Demo Account: Practice your trading strategies risk-free with a demo account loaded with 10 BTC and 1M USDT.
    • Seamless Platform: Whether you prefer to trade on desktop or mobile, BexBack’s platform provides a smooth trading experience.
    • Advanced Security: BexBack employs state-of-the-art security features, including multi-signature cold wallets and 2FA, to protect your funds.

    How to Start Trading on BexBack

    Getting started with BexBack is fast and simple:

    1. Sign Up: Just create an account using your email. No KYC is required.
    2. Deposit Funds: Deposit BTC, USDT, or other supported cryptocurrencies.

    4. Start Trading: Leverage 100x to open long or short positions and maximize your potential profits.

    Take Advantage of the Crypto Bear Market

    The crypto market may be down, but with 100x leverage and a 100% deposit bonus, BexBack gives you the tools you need to turn a volatile market into a profitable opportunity. Whether you’re looking to hedge against price drops or capitalize on the next bull run, BexBack’s 100x leverage, no KYC policy, and bonuses make it easier than ever to get started.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: How a volunteer group grew into a Ugandan tech leader

    Source: Africa Press Organisation – English (2) – Report:

    Download logo

    Ten years ago, the ICT Association of Uganda (ICTAU) was a small, volunteer-run organization with limited capacity. It had one staff member, a working board, and little visibility among decision-makers. Uganda’s tech sector was expanding, but ICTAU lacked the structure and support needed to keep up.

    With stronger governance and support from the NTF V FastTrackTech project in Uganda, ICTAU is now shaping policy, supporting start-ups, and building a more inclusive digital economy.

    A decade ago, coordination among tech companies was weak. Many worked in isolation, unaware of the benefits of joining a larger network. Governance was also a challenge. Without a professional secretariat or strong leadership, the association could not consistently deliver value to its members.

    Gideon Nkurunungi, who joined ICTAU in 2022 and became CEO the next year, says that early on, the association had little influence. ‘We didn’t have proper systems in place. Most members weren’t active. We weren’t running events or engaging in policy discussions. There was potential, but no structure to realise it.’

    Strategic support sparks change

    That started to change when ICTAU partnered with the International Trade Centre’s Netherlands Trust Fund V (NTF V) FastTrackTech project.

    One of the first areas of support was internal governance. The board expanded to include more diverse expertise, and the organization established a permanent secretariat. This included the creation of the CEO role, which brought in professional leadership for the first time.

    NTF V FastTrackTech also helped ICTAU develop programmes focused on start-up support, export readiness, and certification. Members received training in agile and lean start-up methods, connected with international buyers, and exhibited at global events.

    Inclusion was another key focus. NTF V FastTrackTech encouraged ICTAU to increase support for women-led and youth-led businesses. This led to the formation of a Women in Tech chapter and more women joining the board.

    New spaces for dialogue and networking

    The changes quickly produced results. ICTAU launched the National ICT Summit and the CIO breakfast series, both of which created new spaces for dialogue and networking. Members could now meet face to face, showcase products, and exchange ideas. These events also increased the association’s profile with government, donors, and international partners.

    ICTAU also began engaging more actively in policy. It hosted roundtables, consulted on draft legislations, and crafted reports on sector trends and challenges. Members had new ways to make their voices heard.

    Membership growth followed. The association has grown from around 100 members at the start of the NTF V partnership to over 300 today. These include students, startups, non-governmental organizations, professionals, and larger companies.

    ‘Members are more involved now. They attend events, ask questions, and share experiences. We’ve become a proper community, not just a database,’ says Nkurunungi.

    ’Having structure and a clear direction lets us serve more people and deliver better results,’ says Nkurunungi. ‘The work we’re doing now lays the foundation for the next ten years.’

    Plans for mentorship

    Uganda is one of East Africa’s fastest-growing economies, with a rising wave of fintech, foodtech, software and data startups. Start-ups play a key role in driving economic growth, creating high-value jobs and advancing national development.

    Building on the FastTrackTech foundation, ICTAU is planning a series of new initiatives. A startup chapter is being developed to offer more targeted support to early-stage companies. A mentorship programme is also in the pipeline, linking local entrepreneurs with experienced mentors from other regions.

    The association will continue its work on policy engagement and certification, aiming to keep members aligned with global standards. Regular events and published insights will remain key features of ICTAU’s work.

    ‘We’re not treating FastTrackTech as a one-off project,’ says Nkurunungi. ‘It has shaped the way we work, and we’re keeping that approach.’

    About the project

    The Netherlands Trust Fund V (NTF) (July 2021 – June 2025) is based on a partnership between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Netherlands and the International Trade Centre. The programme supports MSMEs in the digital technologies and agribusiness sectors. Its ambition is two-fold: to contribute to an inclusive and sustainable transformation of food systems, partially through digital solutions, and drive the internationalization of tech start-ups and export of IT&BPO companies in selected Sub-Saharan African countries.

  • MIL-OSI Banking: Students Across Delhi NCR Reimagine the Future with Samsung Solve for Tomorrow

    Source: Samsung

    Classrooms lit up with curiosity, corridors buzzed with conversations around innovation, and young students stood confidently pitching bold ideas for a better tomorrow. The recent Samsung Solve for Tomorrow roadshows and open houses have been igniting minds across cities, and Delhi NCR was no exception.
     
    Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, launched on April 29, 2025, is more than just a national innovation challenge. It is a call to action for India’s youth — an invitation to step up, identify real-world issues, and build technology-based solutions that can impact lives. The programme equips students with design thinking tools, mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty, investor connects, and prototyping support. It also offers INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams.
     
    As part of the outreach, the Samsung team visited Mamta Modern School in Vikaspuri, Kamal Model Sr. Sec. School in Mohan Garden, DAV Sector 14 in Gurgaon, St. Teresa School in Indirapuram, and WCTM Gurgaon. In these open houses, students interacted with programme facilitators, asked questions, explored case studies from previous seasons, and began shaping their own problem statements.
     
    At the New Delhi leg of the roadshow, the excitement was palpable. Students from schools gathered with ideas ranging from AI-based solutions for senior citizen care to sustainable energy innovations and mental health apps tailored for teens.
     
    Among them was Aarna Kaushal, a class 11 student, who has been deeply moved by the sight of overflowing landfills in her city. Inspired by the programme, she’s now working on a smart segregation system for waste collection. “Samsung Solve for Tomorrow made me feel like someone is finally listening to students like us. I’m not just dreaming anymore — I’m planning, researching and designing,” said Aarna.
     
    For Bhumika Rawal, it was the experience of watching kids around her struggle with dyslexia that sparked an idea. “I want to create a voice-based learning app that helps kids learn at their own pace. The roadshow helped me shape that dream into a project,” said Bhumika, her eyes lit with determination.
     
    The energy in these sessions went beyond pitches and prototypes. Students discussed the importance of inclusion, accessibility, climate responsibility, and rural connectivity. They learnt that ideas don’t have to be perfect to be powerful — they just need to be rooted in purpose.
     
    As the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow roadshows continue to travel across India, they’re not just spreading awareness about the programme — they’re awakening a generation of problem-solvers and change-makers.
     
    India is full of young innovators. Samsung is providing them the tools, the platform, and the confidence to build something meaningful.
     
    With open houses like these, Samsung is doing more than scouting for the next big idea — it’s investing in the next generation of changemakers who believe that solving for tomorrow begins today.

  • MIL-OSI USA: NIST Releases Extensive Video Update on Champlain Towers South Investigation

    Source: US Government research organizations

    NCST Champlain Tower South Collapse Investigation | Technical Update (June 2025)

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Construction Safety Team (NCST) has released an extensive video update on its investigation into the June 2021 partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, Florida. The update reviews the investigation’s history and progress, shares preliminary findings, and highlights potential impacts that this complex investigation could have on building codes and standards.

    In the video, investigative lead Judith Mitrani-Reiser and co-lead Glenn Bell explain how the team has determined that some of the hypotheses they are considering for how the failure occurred have a higher likelihood than others. The team has reviewed two dozen hypotheses, relying on extensive physical evidence, imagery, historical records, witness interviews, remote sensing data, laboratory testing, computer modeling and more.  

    “As we have shared in previous updates, there were many design and construction problems that weakened the building from the start,” said Mitrani-Reiser. “These deficiencies posed many potential failure initiation possibilities both in the pool deck and the tower, and each is being carefully considered so that we can narrow our focus to the most likely ones and seek to rule out others.”

    The two experts describe the extensive planning and coordination that helped the team systematically work through analyses, testing and modeling to arrive at its preliminary findings. They note that from NIST’s initial deployment of a preliminary reconnaissance team in the first 48 hours after the collapse, this investigation has relied on collaboration with local authorities and expertise from across the federal government, private industry and academia.

    Researchers used a saw to cut into a steel-reinforced concrete slab following a slab-column connection test at the University of Washington. The cut reveals shear cracking and failure at the surface.

    Higher-Likelihood Collapse Hypotheses

    Bell walks viewers through three hypotheses with higher likelihood, beginning with the failure of one of the typical slab-column connections in the pool deck. He describes factors that contributed to low margins of safety in the pool deck, including understrength of the building’s original structural design relative to the requirements of the building code. Additionally, he notes that steel reinforcement was not placed where it should have been, leading to significantly diminished strength of the pool deck slab and slab-column connections. He also points to heavy planters that were not in the original design, as well as a rehabilitation of the pool deck decades earlier that added sand and pavers, increasing the load on a system that was already functionally and structurally inadequate. The team also found corrosion of the steel reinforcement in the pool deck concrete, which can weaken the slabs and slab-column connections.  

    “While there is strong evidence that the collapse initiated in the pool deck, we have not ruled out a failure initiation in the tower,” said Bell. “The fact that the pool deck collapsed before the tower does not preclude the possibility that there was some initiating event in the tower that set off the collapse of the very vulnerable pool deck.”

    Some of the design, construction and degradation issues found in the pool deck are also evident in the building tower and present other plausible hypotheses that the team continues to pursue. In addition to the misplacement of steel reinforcement within slabs and columns, some basement columns had prolonged exposure to water due to ponding and flooding in the garage. This can cause corrosion of the steel reinforcement and deteriorate the concrete. The team therefore also considers it a higher likelihood that the collapse was initiated by either the diminished strength of the columns in the tower or the failure of a slab-beam-column joint in the southernmost column line of the east part of the tower, close to where the tower joined the pool deck.

    Replicas of Champlain Towers South building components were tested until failure at the University of Minnesota. This image shows a failed connection between the pool deck slab-beam and the slab-drop-beam.

    Lower-Likelihood Collapse Hypotheses

    The investigation team determined that there is a lower likelihood that the partial collapse was initiated by two potential problems beneath the building: voids known as “karst” or pile failure. Mitrani-Reiser explains how satellite data was used to look for gradual settling or sinking of the ground in the general area of Champlain Towers South. None was seen in the area in the five years before the partial collapse, nor was localized sinking observed near the building in the days leading up to the tragedy.

    The team found no evidence of karst in the limestone on which the foundation sits, and careful studies of the limestone showed it has features that actually inhibit the formation of karst. Team members calculated that the foundation pile capacity shown on the design drawings was sufficient to carry the building loads and laboratory and nondestructive testing of pile concrete showed adequate material strength. Finally, the basement slab did not show any distress or trauma that would indicate karst formation or pile failure, such as cracking or sinking.

    Bell also notes as a lower likelihood scenario the separation of the pool deck/street-level slab from the south basement wall.  

    Preliminary Findings Rely on Broad Range of Evidence  

    In the past few months, the team has updated the collapse timeline based on interviews and records, modeling results, and new analyses of audio and digital evidence.  

    Although there is very little video from the night of the collapse, every image was meticulously analyzed to determine its precise perspective and identify clues that could inform the timeline, such as changes to reflections of light on building surfaces, such as a wall.

    Mitrani-Reiser describes how team members made a breakthrough by using a novel approach to analyzing videos. They compared the soundwaves of the audio recorded by two videos from different parts of the building to find and correlate patterns of sounds in each video. This helped pinpoint when the videos overlapped in time and provided insight into what was happening in the building by comparing the building’s movement at the same time on two different floors. All audiovisual evidence in NIST’s possession has now been timestamped.

    Mitrani-Reiser also notes the importance of social science research to develop carefully crafted interviews that have helped to elicit important memories not reported elsewhere. Information gained in these interviews has helped confirm the collapse timeline, in tandem with the video evidence.

    Implications for the Future

    “Two clear questions coming out of this investigation are why the design and construction problems were not discovered when Champlain Towers South was built, and how do we evaluate the structural safety of existing buildings?” said Bell.

    While the video presentation does not offer recommendations for changes to codes or practice, it does highlight some areas that industry experts could consider. These include how special inspections that are mandated for safety might impact construction quality control by giving builders a false sense of security that someone else will catch their errors later.

    Mitrani-Reiser also shares that the investigation found no records from the original construction of the building, and few from its early life, and notes the importance of records retention going beyond initial drawings to include “quality assurance records and, particularly, peer review reports where they exist.”

    Finally, Mitrani-Reiser calls on the engineering and construction professions to take seriously the apparent lack of quality control and quality assurance found in the case of Champlain Towers South. She noted that, “this tragic event has revealed flaws in our systems, and quality is at the heart of it.”

    The team is finalizing its analysis and has begun drafting its investigation report, which is expected to be completed in 2026.

  • MIL-OSI: Carronade Capital Calls on Cannae Holdings to Promptly Announce Date of 2025 Annual Meeting

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Cannae Appears to be Manipulating Corporate Machinery to Further Entrench Board During a Contested Election Following Years of Chronic Underperformance

    Believes Delay in Holding Annual Meeting Underscores the Need for Board Change

    Urges Board to Provide Clarity on Capital Return Plan

    DARIEN, Conn., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Carronade Capital Master, LP (together with its affiliates, “Carronade Capital”, “our” or “we”), which beneficially owns approximately 3.2 million shares of Common Stock of Cannae Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNNE) (“Cannae” or the “Company”) and is one of the Company’s top shareholders, today issued the following statement calling on Cannae’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to promptly announce the date of the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”):

    “Carronade urges Cannae to immediately set and announce the date of its 2025 Annual Meeting, which was last held over a year ago on June 19, 2024. Cannae’s failure to schedule its 2025 Annual Meeting in the midst of a contested election and in a manner consistent with its past annual meetings raises serious doubts about the Board’s supposed ‘significant advancements in governance’. Shareholders deserve an explanation of the corporate purpose and reason for delaying the meeting; absent that, it appears to be another transparent effort to evade accountability, further entrench the current Board and disenfranchise Cannae’s long-suffering shareholders.

    “We believe Cannae’s delay in holding its 2025 Annual Meeting is a deliberate attempt to manipulate the corporate machinery and a consequence of this Board’s decision to reincorporate from Delaware to Nevada, a move that was not viewed favorably by Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., one of the leading proxy advisory firms. By denying shareholders the opportunity to exercise their fundamental right to vote in a normal election cycle, we believe Cannae has once again demonstrated its blatant disregard for commonly accepted corporate governance principles, underscoring the urgent need for Board change and increased accountability.

    “Additionally, Cannae should provide greater clarity on its plan to return capital to shareholders following the announced Dun & Bradstreet sale. If the delayed 2025 Annual Meeting is related to the Company’s attempt to enact a tender offer, Carronade believes it is imperative that any such share buyback be executed on terms that are at least as favorable as the 20% premium afforded to Cannae Founder Bill Foley.”

    Carronade remains committed to effecting meaningful change to drive shareholder value at Cannae and will continue to seek shareholder representation on the Board at the 2025 Annual Meeting, whenever it is scheduled. Carronade’s four highly qualified and independent nominees are Mona Aboelnaga, Benjamin Duster, Dennis Prieto and Cherie Schaible.

  • MIL-OSI: Rockcliffe Capital Initiates Coverage on Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX/NYSE: AEM) with a “Strong Buy” Rating and C$155 Price Target

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rockcliffe Capital is pleased to announce today the initiation of equity research coverage on Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX/NYSE: AEM), a premier senior gold mining company with operations spanning Canada, Finland, Australia, Mexico, and the U.S.

    Following rigorous financial and operational analysis, Rockcliffe Capital assigns Agnico Eagle a “Strong Buy” rating, alongside a 12-month price target of C$155, reflecting strong upside potential of approximately 25% from current market levels.

    “Agnico Eagle has delivered extraordinary operating discipline and record earnings this quarter,” said Felix Gelt, Managing Director of Research at Rockcliffe Capital. “With Q1 net income soaring to US$815 M—up 134% YoY—and free cash flow reaching US$594 M amid near-zero debt, Agnico offers both growth and balance sheet strength in the gold sector.”

    Investment Thesis Highlights:

    • Earnings Powerhouse: Q1 2025 net income rose to US$815 million (US$1.62 EPS), a 134% YoY increase, driven by record operating margins from elevated gold prices.
    • Revenue & Margin Strength: Q1 revenue climbed 34.9% YoY to US$2.468 billion, while all-in sustaining costs (AISC) dropped ~10% to US$1,183/oz, delivering a ~59% margin.
    • Balance Sheet Resilience: Operating cash flow hit US$1.044 billion, free cash flow was US$594 million, enabling net debt to fall to just US$5 million, with cash reserves of US$1.138 billion.
    • Strategic Growth Initiatives: Ongoing capital deployment into high-quality projects like Detour Lake, Upper Beaver, and the O3 Mining acquisition enhances reserve base and future production visibility.
    • Shareholder Returns: Maintains a US$0.40/share quarterly dividend. NCIB buybacks of US$50 million executed in the quarter; the Board plans an expanded NCIB of up to US$1 billion.
    • ESG Leadership: Released its 16th Sustainability Report highlighting best-in-class emissions intensity (0.38 tCO₂e/oz), C$1 billion Indigenous economic commitment, and sector-leading safety.

    Valuation & Target:
    Utilizing a disciplined valuation framework with a projected 2026 EV/EBITDA multiple of ~8× and P/E multiple of ~18×, Rockcliffe Capital derives a 12-month price target of C$155, equivalent to ~US$115/share, indicating ~25% upside from current levels.

    Risk Factors:

    • Gold Price Volatility: A sustained decline in gold prices could compress margins and cash flow.
    • Project Execution: Delays at key sites (e.g., underground transitions, permitting) could affect supply outlook.
    • Macro Factors: A stronger U.S. dollar or higher real interest rates may weigh on gold sector valuations.
