    WESTLAKE, Texas, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goosehead Insurance, Inc., (NASDAQ: GSHD), a rapidly growing, independent personal lines insurance agency, today launched the Veteran Initiative Program (VIP), designed to support and recruit military veterans on their path to become business owners. The program empowers veterans to apply their unique skills from active duty through professional development, mentorship and real-world learning to build thriving Goosehead franchises and achieve lasting financial independence.

    According to the International Franchise Association, 14% of franchisees are veterans and they are more likely to hire other veteran employees with similar backgrounds and work ethic. Goosehead Insurance’s VIP provides driven, former service members with a unique pathway to entrepreneurship in the growing and resilient insurance industry. Through the program, the company equips veterans, regardless of prior insurance experience, with the comprehensive support and training needed to operate a successful franchise:

    • Comprehensive Business Training and Ongoing Support: Mirroring the structured coaching and leadership veterans experienced during their service, ensuring they are set up for long-term success.
    • Access to Industry-Leading Technology: Simplifying sales and marketing efforts by identifying target markets and streamlining the process of matching clients with the best insurance products.
    • A Dedicated Veteran Development Team: Providing specialized guidance and mentorship throughout their journey as franchise owners.
    • Geographic Flexibility: Allowing veterans to establish their franchises in locations that suit their personal and professional goals, with opportunities available in up to 39 states.
    • A 20% Discount on the Initial Franchise Fee: Demonstrating Goosehead Insurance’s commitment to making franchise ownership more accessible to veterans.

    “After 23 years in the military, I’ve seen that veterans bring a unique mindset and valuable skills honed in high pressure situations, such as leadership, discipline, grit and a strong work ethic – all critical to building a successful business,” said Ben Walker, Sr. Manager of the Veteran Initiative Program at Goosehead Insurance. “We have 40+ operating veteran-owned franchises nationwide, and the Veteran Initiative Program demonstrates Goosehead’s growing commitment to giving even more veterans a seat at the table.”

    “The Veteran Initiative Program showcases our commitment to real-world learning, professional development and fostering success across our franchise network. We are excited to bring more veterans into our proven franchise model and give them a competitive edge toward financial independence,” added Walker.

    The program was inspired by the success of veteran franchisees like Tim McMullin, whose agency in Pennsylvania recently achieved a $10 million book of business.

    “At Goosehead Insurance, I’ve been able to achieve remarkable results by leaning into my strengths and channeling skillsets acquired during my military service,” said McMullin. “Now, as a successful franchise owner, I can also help others along their journey – something I’m both eager to do and proud to say I can, thanks to Goosehead.”

  • MIL-OSI: Varonis Named a Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Second Consecutive Year

  • MIL-OSI: Onfolio Holdings Launches Pace Generative to Help Brands Dominate AI-Generated Search Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WILMINGTON, Del., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Onfolio Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONFO, ONFOW) (OTC: ONFOP) (“Onfolio” or the “Company”) today announced the launch of Pace Generative LLC, a dedicated Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency created to help brands appear in AI-generated answers – a rapidly emerging opportunity in digital discovery and trust-building.

    As AI assistants start to replace traditional search engines as the primary way people discover and evaluate services, GEO has emerged as a mission-critical strategy. It ensures that a brand’s insights and authority are embedded in the answers delivered by AI tools – positioning businesses at the point of decision-making, not just after the fact.

    Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) helps businesses become part of the answers AI platforms generate, by embedding their expertise directly in real-time, conversational responses.

    When a user asks an AI assistant, “Who’s the top cosmetic surgeon near me?”, “What wealth management firm should I trust with my portfolio?”, or “Which estate planning attorney is most experienced in my area?”, GEO helps to determine which businesses are cited in the answer. These moments often shape high-value decisions, before a search engine is ever consulted. For example, a law firm that appears in ChatGPT’s response to “best estate attorney in Miami” could earn immediate trust and consideration well before a potential client sees competing websites.

    AI-driven discovery is accelerating. A recent Elon University study found that 52% of U.S. adults already use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Copilot. ChatGPT alone now serves 400 million weekly active users globally, including nearly 68 million in the U.S. With platforms like Perplexity gaining traction, AI assistants are becoming the default source for trusted, real-time answers. According to McKinsey, generative AI could add as much as $4.4 trillion in annual economic value, with marketing and sales among the most directly impacted sectors.

    This shift is transforming how brands are discovered, evaluated, and chosen.

    As traditional search becomes a fallback rather than the starting point, GEO has emerged as a critical strategy for relevance. Unlike SEO, which helps websites rank in search results, GEO ensures a brand’s insights, authority, and offerings are embedded directly in AI-generated answers.

    SEO earns clicks. GEO earns trust, by making brands part of the answer, not just part of the results. Today’s search engines send users to websites. AI platforms deliver the answer itself. If a brand isn’t cited, it may be invisible at the moment of decision.

    Onfolio brings deep experience in SEO, having led successful campaigns across multiple agencies and industries. With a strong foundation in content strategy, technical optimization, and performance publishing, the Company is now applying that expertise to the next era of online visibility: GEO.

    The launch of Pace Generative marks a strategic evolution. Purpose-built for the AI era, with proprietary frameworks, scalable systems, and specialized processes designed to help brands be recognized and cited by AI platforms.

    Our core services are designed to help brands become part of the answers AI platforms deliver and not just compete for placement in crowded search results:

    • Question-Driven Content CreationWe craft authoritative content; articles, guides, FAQs, that mirrors how real people ask questions in tools like ChatGPT and Gemini.
    • AI-Optimized Site StructureWe organize websites so that AI models can easily understand, access, and reference key information – ensuring important expertise isn’t overlooked.
    • Language and Topic AlignmentWe align messaging with the terms and topics AI platforms associate with credibility – positioning content to be cited accurately and confidently.
    • Strategic Publishing and DistributionWe publish and distribute content in formats, channels, and timelines that signal trust- improving the likelihood of being included in AI-generated answers.

    These services improve the chances that a brand will be surfaced in the moment a customer asks for a trusted recommendation and will help position that brand as part of the decision-making conversation.

    “AI is where decisions are being made,” said Dominic Wells, CEO of Onfolio Holdings Inc. “If a brand isn’t part of the answers, it’s not in the market. GEO isn’t just the next evolution of search, it’s the new standard for being found.”

    Pace Generative is built for businesses and professionals in industries where trust, expertise, and timing drive customer decisions – including healthcare, finance, law, education, consulting, B2B services, and high-end consumer markets.

    Onfolio anticipates strong demand for Pace Generative’s GEO service as more organizations adapt their marketing strategies for AI-native visibility.

    As artificial intelligence continues to reshape how the world seeks and selects solutions, Pace Generative is helping forward-thinking companies lead the AI-powered conversations that define tomorrow’s market leaders.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Plastic-Free Living: Small Changes, Big Impact

    Source: Samsung

    On this year’s World Environment Day, we’re focusing on one of the most pressing environmental challenges: plastic pollution. While reducing plastic use may seem daunting, small changes in our daily routines can make a significant impact.
    At Samsung, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – since 2009, we’ve reused over 567,000 tons of recycled plastics globally in our products, surpassing our 2030 goal of 500,000 tons. Our latest flagship Galaxy Smartphones also include ocean-bound plastics in certain parts of their design and components, helping reduce what winds up in our shared waters.
    From switching to the Less Microfiber Filter on your Samsung appliances to opting for eco-conscious devices, here are four practical ways you can reduce plastic waste with Samsung.
    1. Extending the Life of Your Devices
    Repairing what’s broken before buying new is still one of the best things you can do if you want to reduce your impact on the planet. That’s especially true when it comes to plastic use, which is used in the production and packaging of almost everything we buy.
    Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) Customer Care has been ranked #1 in the 2025 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey for customer satisfaction, service quality, and ease of arranging service. That means Samsung’s customers can make their phones and tablets last longer in order to avoid buying new. After all, our devices are an investment, but so is our care for the planet.

    2. Explore Sustainable, Certified Re-Newed Options
    With mobile phones being an essential part of modern life, choosing sustainable options can create significant environmental impact. While keeping your current device longer is ideal, Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed program offers expertly refurbished phones when an upgrade is needed. The selection now includes the sleek, powerful Galaxy S24 series, so you can keep up with the latest tech. Plus, the Galaxy S24 series was created using recycled materials. Not only has our engineering team come up with a way to use recycled plastic fishing net material in Galaxy devices’ construction, but there are certain other recycled plastics, glass, and aluminum applied to internal and external components.

    The Galaxy S25 takes this further, recently winning the 2025 ReMA Design for Recycling ® Award from the Recycled Materials Association. Its packaging is 100% recycled paper, completely eliminating single-use plastics. The phone also features recycled cobalt through Samsung’s innovative Circular Battery Supply Chain.1
    This World Environment Day, we’re here to help you trade-in and trade-up. Visit Samsung.com to save $300 toward your purchase of a Certified Re-Newed device when you trade in select and eligible devices.2
    3. Transform Your Laundry Routine
    Every load of laundry can contribute to plastic pollution through microfiber release. Samsung’s Bespoke Al Laundry Vented Combo addresses this with its Less Microfiber cycle setting, reducing microfiber release by 39% – helping prevent these plastic particles from entering our oceans3. The Less Microfiber Filter takes this a step further, preventing up to 98%4 of microplastics released during laundry from escaping into the sea – which is equivalent to eight 500ml plastic bottles per year when used four times a week.

    4. Make the Switch to Eco-Conscious Technology
    Here at Samsung, we’re taking our own steps where we can: our Solar Cell Remote, which was developed to combat the environmental impact of discarding used batteries, is made with 24% recycled plastic. This rechargeable remote control also features a solar panel (solar cell) that can be charged by sunlight or indoor lighting, or USB-C cable.

    We’re also cutting plastic packaging out for cell phones completely by the end of this year. Choosing the right technology can help reduce plastic waste without sacrificing performance or convenience – there’s still a long way to go, but every little bit along the way helps.
    For more ways to reduce plastic use and beyond, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube and download SmartThings Energy to make the most sustainable use out of your appliances and devices.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Google searches for information about cancer lead to targeted ads from alternative clinics

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Alessandro Marcon, Senior Research Associate at the Health Law Institute, University of Alberta

    Online searches for health information can pull up misleading ads. (S. Ghassimi), CC BY

    More than 80 per cent of online searches are now performed with Google. But there’s an insidious element to the world’s most popular search engine. As companies compete for the advertising spaces that accompany search query results, users seeking critical health information can be exposed to dangerous and exploitative misinformation.



    Read more:
    Why we fall for fake health information – and how it spreads faster than facts

    In 2024, North Americans overwhelmingly used Google for news and information on politics, celebrities, entertainment and topical events like natural disasters. Health-related queries are also popular: nearly 70 per cent of the Canadian public use online searches for health information.

    Google is the world’s most popular search engine.
    (Shutterstock)

    Online searches

    The phrases or questions contained in online searches serve as valuable data. They can inform epidemiological surveillance and provide insight into popular global and regional trends.

    These data also hold immense value for online marketing teams, tracking who is searching for what, where and when. In addition to search tracking, however, queries now are used for online advertising. It’s a reality that raises serious ethical, regulatory and public health issues.

    Before the internet, key advertising spaces existed in magazines and newspapers, on highway billboards and time slots between radio and television programming. Advertising is so lucrative that a 30-second time slot during the Super Bowl now costs upwards of US$8 million.

    Online, fixed slots have now been replaced by targeted advertisements to accompany search results, determined by search queries entered by users.

    Highly coveted spots

    Like a Super Bowl ad, advertising on Google’s first page results is highly coveted.

    Obtaining the rights to these space requires companies to outbid one another to win the ads spaces determined by search terms — an advertiser can purchase ad space from Google associated with a specific phrase or keyword.

    Companies with snack products, for example, may compete for their sponsored content to appear when individuals search for “Super Bowl party snacks,” “new chip flavours” or “chip and dip ideas.”

    As harmless and obvious — and perhaps even inevitable — as this marketing approach may seem, the practice is problematic when industry targets personal, sensitive and critical health terms — which is exactly what our research uncovered.

    Searches for cancer, exploitative ads

    Using the AI-driven marketing platform SemRush, we analyzed the search terms purchased for advertising by notorious alternative cancer clinics in Tijuana, Mexico and Arizona. We determined what queries were targeted and how much was spent on acquiring the advertising space matching these queries.

    We also assessed whether this spending increased traffic to their clinic websites. Our results showed that over roughly one decade, these clinics paid over an estimated US$15 million to purchase the ad spaces for thousands of search words and phrases.

    These search queries related to cancer prognosis and diagnosis, treatment options including alternative treatments and cancer types including late-stage cancer. In sum, the advertising strategy generated more than 6.5 million website visits for alternative cancer clinics.

    Negative health impacts

    Unfortunately, the success of these alternative clinics’ marketing strategies is nothing short of a disaster for the public’s health and well-being. Alternative cancer treatments are associated with an increased risk of death and offer false hope for those suffering from end-stage cancer.

    These ineffective and oftentimes dangerous treatments can financially exploit patients, disrupt end-of-life planning and interfere with evidence-based cancer or palliative treatments.

    Google is therefore enabling an advertising option that contributes to the harmful spread of inaccurate and damaging cancer misinformation that can directly lead to detrimental health-related actions.

    Protection from deception

    Our research focused entirely on the cancer context and analyzed the targeted search query approach of problematic clinics in two specific locations. It is imaginable — indeed very probable — that this approach is deployed in other health contexts and beyond.

    Google does have and enforce policies to protect users from deceptive advertising content. But there is little oversight regarding how advertisers may exploit its keyword ad matching features.

    It’s imperative that Google take action to restrict its ads mechanism from being used in this exploitative manner. Search results could give prominence only to websites supported by accurate scientific evidence. Google could prohibit the advertising purchase of ostensibly controversial search terms. This would include personal, sensitive queries from vulnerable groups, including patients suffering from cancer and other life-threatening ailments.

    Google and other social media platforms benefit financially from misinformation. It is up to these companies to decide if human health and well-being is more valuable than these financial gains. It is up to all of us to advocate for those harmed by dangerous misinformation.

    Empowering Communities Through Technology and Vision

    As Mexico advances its national mission for universal internet access, Veea and StarGroup are combining their technological strengths and market leadership to deliver high-performance, cybersecure, and affordable digital services to remote areas that have historically been left behind. This transformative partnership reflects a bold step and an unwavering commitment to bridging the digital divide and true digital equity for millions of Mexicans.

    With deep local expertise and a growing presence across the country, StarGroup is uniquely positioned to drive innovation at the edge of connectivity, leveraging Veea’s cutting-edge technology. StarGroup’s deployment of Veea’s virtual Trusted Broadband Access (vTBA) platform marks the beginning of a nationwide rollout that will provide intelligent internet access, IoT integration, and cloud-based applications directly to users’ Wi-Fi-enabled devices—including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. “At StarGroup, we believe technology should be a tool for empowerment, not exclusion,” said Monica Aguirre, CEO of StarGroup. “This partnership with Veea allows us to bring real solutions to real communities—solutions that go far beyond entertainment and connectivity.

    Deployed with satellite backhaul and powered by compact VeeaHub devices and VeeaWare software, the service supports not only seamless connectivity but also a wide range of local IoT applications—from precision agriculture and energy monitoring to public safety and asset tracking. StarGroup is not just deploying infrastructure; it is building the foundation for a smarter, more inclusive Mexico.

    “StarGroup’s adoption of vTBA platform reinforces the growing demand for cost-effective, intelligent connectivity at the edge,” added Allen Salmasi, CEO of Veea. “This collaboration extends far beyond internet access—it empowers communities with real-time AI-driven applications, with the ability to cache content at the edge including for tele-education, tele-medicine, entertainment and precision agriculture, along with the tools that enable the end-users to easily develop applications serving their specific use cases and participate in the digital economy.”

  • MIL-OSI: Beeline taps Crypto Ecosystem to Unlock Real Estate Liquidity for consumers through a Stablecoin Funding

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Beta closings begin in June; full-scale launch hits late July

    Homeowners unlock equity for cash—no debt, no interest, no monthly payments

    PROVIDENCE, RI, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Beeline Holdings, Inc., (Nasdaq: BLNE) the fast-growing digital mortgage platform that shortens the path to homeownership, today announced the upcoming launch of a new home equity access product that allows homeowners to convert a portion of their home equity into immediate cash—without incurring debt or monthly payments.

    Beeline has partnered with a company (“RealCo”), which is co-owned by Beeline’s principal shareholder and CEO. RealCo will issue stablecoins to access capital to purchase equity from homeowners seeking liquidity. RealCo is engaging with Beeline, which will source consumers and provide services. Beeline Title will provide title and escrow services.  

    This innovative product will be funded through a stablecoin-backed model, offering homeowners a fast and flexible alternative to traditional refinancing or HELOCs. The hard launch is scheduled for late July, with beta transactions beginning in June. The coins will be backed by ownership through a fractional deed on the property. RealCo will acquire a minority ownership in homes (up to 49%) as a nominee for the funders who will receive the stablecoins. Homeowners selling equity can opt to receive RealCo-issued stablecoins or US dollars.

    Unlike conventional lending products, this is not a loan transaction, tied to interest rates, or a buy-back obligation, allowing Beeline to generate consistent revenue in any rate environment. The company expects this to drive faster percentage-based revenue growth than traditional mortgage lenders, and with the fees, it expects to be well-positioned to reach operational profitability beginning in Q4 2025. Early market feedback indicates strong demand from equity-rich homeowners seeking liquidity without selling their property or incurring additional monthly obligations. RealCo will initially launch in approximately ten thousand US zip codes and will only enter into equity purchases on homes with a value of $ 1 million or more.

    “Provided there’s equity in the home, RealCo will mint coins at closing, which may then be converted into U.S. dollars,” said Nick Liuzza, CEO of Beeline Holdings. “This model enables us to provide homeowners with liquidity quickly, with an unprecedented model. The stablecoin mechanism becomes the catalyst for funding, and the stablecoin is secured by property recorded in 1:1 in the blockchain and in the public record.”   

    As the crypto ecosystem continues to gain mainstream adoption, with Bitcoin reaching new levels of institutional recognition, Beeline’s use of blockchain-native funding infrastructure represents a first-of-its-kind application in real estate finance. While Bitcoin itself is not used directly in these transactions, the overall architecture reflects the increasing integration of traditional asset classes with blockchain-backed liquidity models.

    Participating homeowners will receive cash at closing and won’t be required to repay the funds until the property is sold. Upon sale, RealCo, as nominee for the token holders, will receive its pro rata percentage of the net proceeds. All ownership privileges remain intact, provided property taxes are kept current.

    “As we enter discussions with new investors, it’s critical to provide transparency about this expansion,” added Liuzza. “This product represents a major opportunity.”

    Beeline’s existing product suite includes both conventional mortgage offerings and a range of non-QM loan programs, many of which are optimized for 1099 earners, self-employed borrowers, and younger homeowners. The company emphasized that this new product is an addition, not a pivot, from its core model.

    “We’re not shifting focus,” said Jess Kennedy, COO of Beeline. “We’re simply adding more firepower to our arsenal that meets the evolving needs of today’s homeowners.”

    The product is expected to benefit individuals who don’t qualify for traditional cash-out refinancing or HELOCs but have meaningful equity. Beeline anticipates additional use cases to emerge as the product rolls out to a wider audience in the months ahead.

    About Beeline https://makeabeeline.com/

    Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. is a trailblazing mortgage fintech transforming the way people access property financing. Through its fully digital, AI-powered platform, Beeline delivers a faster, smarter path to home loans—whether for primary residences or investment properties.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beeline Holdings and also operates Beeline Labs, its innovation arm focused on next-generation lending solutions.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the company’s prospective new home equity access product, the timing, features, and demand for such product, and the benefits thereof including revenue growth and the potential to achieve profitability in Q4 2025. Forward-looking statements are prefaced by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “seem,” “potential,” “appear,” “continue,” “future,” believe,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar words. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, the ultimate interest of homeowners in unlocking liquidity and Beeline’s ability to attract homeowners, its reliance on RealCo to raise capital to fund the real estate transactions, and the Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K filed April 15, 2025. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Mr. Telesz will succeed Marjorie Hargrave, who has been with Hallador since April 2024 and is leaving the Company to pursue other opportunities.

  • MIL-OSI: Wedbush Fund Advisers Launches IVES AI Revolution ETF Built on Dan Ives’ Proprietary Research

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wedbush Fund Advisers has launched the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (Ticker: IVES). The ETF will provide investors with transparent, cost-effective access to 30 names at the heart of the AI Revolution.

    Built around the proprietary research framework of Dan Ives, Wedbush Securities Managing Director and Global Head of Technology Research, the ETF targets companies driving AI’s infrastructure and deployment across semiconductors, hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, robotics, and cloud infrastructure. These companies form the backbone of a multi trillion-dollar investment cycle transforming global industries and accelerating enterprise and consumer adoption.

    Key Features of IVES ETF:

    • Research-Driven Selection: Constituents are drawn directly from Dan Ives’ proprietary research behind “The AI Revolution Theme,” a multi-year analysis identifying 30 public companies at the core of the AI spending cycle;
    • Cross-Sector Exposure: Covers the full spectrum of industries powering the AI economy — from infrastructure to implementation;
    • Balanced Construction: Strategically weighted to reduce concentration risk while maintaining high-conviction thematic exposure;
    • Future-Focused Positioning: Targets companies with both established momentum and long-term potential to lead in enterprise and consumer AI adoption.

    “We’re incredibly excited to bring Dan Ives’ research on the AI Revolution to life through this ETF,” said Cullen Rogers, Chief Investment Officer of Wedbush Fund Advisers. “It’s a response to what investors have been asking for—direct, meaningful exposure to the companies powering the next major economic transformation: artificial intelligence.”

    Wedbush entered the rapidly growing ETF market earlier this year through its new Investment Management division, marking the firm’s commitment to cutting-edge investment solutions and highly curated product development for our Global Family Office, Wealth Management and RIA clients.

    “AI is the most transformational force in the global economy in our lifetime,” said Gary Wedbush, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wedbush Securities. “Dan’s track record speaks for itself. He’s been identifying the drivers of tech disruption for years, and the IVES ETF gives investors a chance to follow that insight in a disciplined, transparent way. We are proud to offer investors exposure to the AI Revolution through the IVES ETF.”

    Important Information

    Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

    Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds’ prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting www.wedbushfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

    AI Technology Risk. AI technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that such AI utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error – potentially materially so – and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed, which would be likely to degrade the effectiveness of the AI technology. Companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. These companies face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence, and many depend significantly on retaining and growing the consumer base of their respective products and services. Many of these companies are also reliant on the end-user demand of products and services in various industries that may in part utilize artificial intelligence. Further, many companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may be substantially exposed to the market and business risks of other industries or sectors, and the Fund may be adversely affected by negative developments impacting those companies, industries or sectors.

    Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund nor the Adviser can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

    Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of the Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

    Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Narrowly focused thematic investments will be more susceptible to factors affecting that sector and subject to more volatility.

    The Wedbush Funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Wedbush Fund Advisers, LLC and Foreside Fund Services, LLC, are not affiliated.

Their patent-pending CRM, designed specifically for the public sector, allows for seamless workflows and data sharing, setting DelNorte apart as a key player in the evolving landscape of government technology.

  • MIL-OSI: Innovations in Imaging, such as AI-Enhanced Retinal & Fundus Camera Systems are Booming Along with Revenue Opportunities

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The Retinal and Fundis Camera market has shown growth in the recent years and is expected to continue for years to come. Fundus cameras are sophisticated instruments utilized in ophthalmology for capturing detailed images of the retina. They employ a specialized optical design akin to an indirect ophthalmoscope, with the angle of view being a key parameter defining their functionality… Fundus photography enables physicians to meticulously examine retinal changes over time, facilitating collaboration among colleagues and enhancing patient care. A recent report from Precedence Research said: “The fundus cameras market experiences growth driven by the evolving landscape of imaging technologies, particularly in diagnosing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Traditionally, fundus photography with film-based cameras, preferably through pharmacologically dilated pupils, has been pivotal in documenting AMD severity. The emergence of high-resolution digital cameras presents new opportunities in the market. Comparisons among different imaging systems, including nonstereoscopic color retinal images taken with digital cameras through dark-adapted and dilated pupils, as well as stereoscopic images captured with standard film cameras, highlight the expanding applications of fundus cameras. Such comparisons underscore the need for versatile imaging solutions to accommodate diverse clinical scenarios, thus fueling the growth in the fundus cameras market.” Active healthcare/tech companies active in the markets include: Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTLK), Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE: BLCO), Biomea Fusion, Inc. (NASDAQ: BMEA).

    Precedence Research continued: “The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into fundus cameras presents a significant opportunity for market growth. AI algorithms demonstrate high accuracy in detecting diseases like diabetic retinopathy (DR), offering improved diagnostic capabilities. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms utilizing preoperative fundus photography alongside other data parameters have shown promise in identifying at-risk eyes for postoperative complications after refractive surgery. Deep learning algorithms applied to fundus photographs have been successful in predicting cerebral white matter hyperintensity in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and detecting DR with remarkable precision. Studies exploring AI’s role in correlating fundus photos, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and external eye photography with systemic diseases exhibit promising results. Particularly, AI-driven screening for DR holds significant potential. These advancements highlight the prospective role of AI-integrated fundus imaging in screening, diagnosing, and managing various retinal diseases, thus creating substantial opportunities for growth in the fundus cameras market.” The report added: “The global fundus cameras market size accounted for USD $676.46 Million in 2025 and is forecasted to hit around USD $943.12 Million by 2034, representing a CAGR of 3.80% from 2025 to 2034.”

    Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) and Partner, Ainnova, Finalizing Automated Retinal Camera Prototype Ahead of Full-Scale Development – Avant Technologies, Inc. (“Avant” or the “Company”) and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the Company is in the final stages of prototyping its proprietary automated retinal camera. Ainnova’s new device will offer users a low cost, easier to use camera that captures images automatically and then uploads those images to the Company’s Vision AI software platform, which then produces a “risk report” in mere seconds.

    Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said, “The cost of a fundus camera has always been a barrier to entry into in this market, so our low-cost camera, which is a fraction of the cost of currently available cameras on the market, should allow us to not only enter the market, but to capture a large share of the market.

    “Another significant advantage will be that our camera will be seamlessly packaged together with our Vision AI platform, allowing us to refer more patients in less time and accurately to medical specialists. Also, one of our objectives is to integrate other technologies to this preventive screening, expanding the scope from only diabetic patients to patients who have other risk factors and want to prevent other diseases from a more complete approach.”

    Vision AI is a powerful cutting-edge, AI-driven platform that can quickly and accurately detect the early markers of a host of diseases by applying AI models to examine imaging data from the eye to expedite earlier detection and allow patients to better manage their disease. The diseases that Vision AI can detect, include diabetic retinopathy, other retinopathies, such as glaucoma, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, and other anomalies, as well as other diseases that do not require retinal images, and instead, use other datapoints that Ainnova has integrated into the software like the detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, liver fibrosis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

    Currently, Ainnova’s Vision AI software works well with any fundus camera on the market; however, Ainnova and Avant are aiming for exclusivity by developing a lower-cost, easier to use camera.

    Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), the company formed by the partnership between Avant and Ainnova, will develop the retinal cameras as part of the joint venture and licensing deal to facilitate the development of Ainnova’s technology portfolio. AAC owns the global licensing rights to develop, maintain, and market Ainnova’s technology portfolio.

  • MIL-OSI Global: How remembering railway accidents from 100 years ago can make the industry safer today

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Mike Esbester, Senior Lecturer in History, University of Portsmouth

    APChanel/Shutterstock

    According to a recent report, the UK rail industry is a relatively safe environment for both passengers and workers. The findings, from the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, came from data on railway accidents for 2024.

    But it also showed that there remain areas of concern in the industry. Specifically, it found examples of “not learning” from accidents and incidents. And alarmingly, there has also been a “lack or loss” of learning from historic tragedies.

    So how and where can the sector recover that experience and insight in order to learn the lessons? The report findings imply the knowledge exists, but has been forgotten. It may be that, rather than looking back over the previous 12 months, the industry should cast its gaze back 100 or 150 years.

    For the rail workforce, a major new historical dataset is being released that might offer some answers. The Railway Work, Life & Death project has added nearly 70,000 cases of worker accidents in England and Wales to its database of staff accidents from before 1939.

    Get your news from actual experts, straight to your inbox. Sign up to our daily newsletter to receive all The Conversation UK’s latest coverage of news and research, from politics and business to the arts and sciences.

    Until now the records have been available only in hard copy. But digital access via the project website will mean insights from accidents – some dating to the 1850s – can be used to improve rail workforce safety in the present day.

    Examples from the project include the case of North Eastern Railway office cleaner Mary Ramsey. She was run over by a train in 1859 at South Shields while taking out the ashes from the station fireplaces. Ivor Richards, who worked for the Rhymney Railway in Cardiff, was just 14 when he was killed crossing the lines in 1916.

    These, and the tens of thousands of other historic cases, can be used to explore issues that resonate today. The online dataset offers a platform for people to access knowledge freely and learn from the past. No living person or current organisation is singled out. This means people in the rail industry now can use the records to draw parallels between past and present, and use it as a way into frank discussions about safety today.

    The utility of this approach and the value of the data is recognised by the industry. From within the rail sector, accident investigators, health and safety managers and trade union officers will be attending the dataset launch on June 5, at The National Archives of the UK, at Kew, London.

    Though the industry has changed radically over the last 200 years, some issues still exist that would have been equally recognisable to workers more than 100 years ago. From working at height, through slips, trips and falls, to working on and around railway lines, the essence of some railway work – and the dangers – remain consistent.

    Lessons from the past

    Last year the Railway Work, Life & Death project collaborated with independent research body the Rail Safety and Standards Board and the Infrastructure Safety Leadership Group to produce a workshop for safety leaders and a track worker safety digest.

    Both used historic examples to address contemporary issues – demonstrating the value of a “useable past” and the potential for this new dataset.

    The examples of Mary Ramsey and Ivor Richards might be used to discuss things like safe walking routes, or safety training and certification for going on or near working railway lines. They can start conversations about the mitigations that might have been put in place to prevent an accident, or “safe systems of work”. Even though concepts like safety certification and safe walking routes are anachronistic, they allow a space in which discussion can borrow from the past to focus on the present.

    The records come from The National Archives of the UK, where a team of volunteers has spent seven years transcribing them to make them more easily accessible. They were then added into the Railway Work, Life & Death project, a collaboration between the University of Portsmouth, National Railway Museum and the Modern Records Centre at the University of Warwick, working with the RMT union.

    The dataset also has benefits for people beyond the rail industry. This year is being marked as Railway 200 – 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway was launched. This is seen as the birth of the modern system. For historians, we can use the dataset to see the people who kept the railway system running.

    There’s a risk that the version of the past that is portrayed is a straightforward one, and railways (particularly steam railways) are seen through rose-tinted spectacles. That view obscures how hard, dirty and dangerous working on the railways was for many people.

    Narratives about the railways’ past should challenge people – and acknowledge the difficult bits. This newly released dataset can do exactly that. It documents working conditions, wages, practices and, of course, dangers from working on the railways. It allows anyone to find out more about the past, making research easier and more accessible.

    And the dataset lets people tell more diverse stories about who was included in the rail industry.

    For example, we can see how disability as a result of a workplace accident was experienced and managed. William Parry was employed as a signalman in south Wales following a 1907 accident on the railways that cost him his leg.

    Giving more prominence to under-represented groups – while showing their long-standing presence in the rail industry – has significant social value. It can help support those currently in the industry, as well as show those contemplating a railway career that the workplace is for them. It meshes with the work of groups like Women in Rail and Ethnicity and Race in Rail to encourage greater representation in the industry.

    Having spent nearly ten years co-leading the Railway Work, Life & Death project, I sometimes ask myself why I do it – not least given the inherent sadness in many of the cases. But then I see the people behind the statistics, their wider lives, their families and communities, and the window the records gives into life on the railways. That personal connection drives me – alongside the conviction that it can make a difference to today’s industry.

    Railway workers from the past and the accidents they often suffered have been largely forgotten, precisely because the industry is now relatively safe. Employee accidents are nowhere near as commonplace or visible as they once were. But there is room for improvement. Remembering the people of the early railway era and learning from their experiences is once again possible through the Railway Work, Life & Death project.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Polytechnic University held a defense of projects, the authors of which were tenth-graders of School No. 174 of the Central District of St. Petersburg named after I.K. Beletsky. This is a pre-professional class on the engineering profile in the field of ecology, implemented by the Engineering and Construction Institute of SPbPU and the North-West Interregional Administration of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources. This event was the result of year-long scientific research of schoolchildren in the field of ecology and environmental protection.

    The expert commission included Natalia Politaeva, professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Power Engineering at ISI, and Irina Russkova and Irina Klimova, associate professors of the Higher School of Technosphere Safety. Elena Dyakova, head of the interregional department of state environmental and land supervision for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, also participated.

    Young environmental engineers presented developments aimed at solving current environmental problems. Two projects attracted the experts’ special attention. Mark Meshcheryakov and Nikita Shaldenkov proposed a solution for detecting oil spills and monitoring the movement of Space Z vessels. Egor Melnikov developed a system for collecting garbage in city parks with the participation of birds, “Green Beak”.

    Participants received valuable recommendations on modernization of developed projects, paid attention to potential areas of development within the framework of engineering and scientific activities. The defense became not only the final point of the academic year, but also a significant step in professional orientation and formation of research competencies.

    Cooperation under the Rosprirodnadzor Class program began on May 14 this year, when an agreement was signed between SPbPU and the North-West Interregional Department of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources Management at School No. 174. This event marked the beginning of the organization of pre-professional education in the field of environmental safety for schoolchildren interested in engineering and scientific careers.

    The project competition is of great importance for environmental education of schoolchildren. Many projects have great potential and practical significance. Their authors impressed with their intuition, extraordinary approach and deep knowledge, – noted Natalia Politaeva.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: For those who dream of the roar of the cosmodrome. The program of the Museum of Cosmonautics in June

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Cosmonautics Museum opened in April 1981 in the stylobate of the monument to the Conquerors of Space on Prospekt Mira — the year that 20 years had passed since the legendary flight of Yuri Gagarin. Since then, it has invariably become a point of attraction for all those who are attracted by space. After a large-scale reconstruction in 2009, the exhibition area increased fourfold, and the collection exceeded 100 thousand storage units, occupying eight halls and a film and lecture hall — now it is one of the largest scientific and historical museums on the planet. Here you can see full-size models of the base block of the Mir station and the Soyuz spacecraft, authentic descent vehicles, the first satellites and famous examples of spacesuits for flights and spacewalks, as well as the personal belongings of cosmonauts. The museum has prepared a rich program for the first month of summer.

    Rescue of the out-of-control station

    On June 6, the Museum of Cosmonautics will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the mission to rescue the unmanned orbital station Salyut-7 with a lecture, film screening and quest: visitors will be invited to literally live the story of the heroes Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Viktor Savinykh, who took part in the landmark flight of 1985.

    Then Soyuz T-13 with the cosmonauts on board launched to the immobilized object so that the crew could manually dock to it and restore its functionality. This was the first manual docking in Russian history with an unmanned station that had lost power and communications, threatening to leave orbit and sprinkle the Earth’s surface with debris. After several days of intense work in extreme conditions, the crew restarted the power system, deployed solar batteries and completely restored the complex.

    On June 6, on the anniversary of the memorable event, at 2:00 PM, cosmonaut expert Pavel Gaiduk will give a lecture entitled “Notes from a Dead Station”, and at 3:30 PM, the movie “Salyut-7”, based on the crew’s memoirs, will be shown in the cinema hall. From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, there will be an interactive quest about the Salyut-7 mission – participants will test their knowledge of the history of spacecraft and memorial items from the museum’s permanent exhibition, as well as about the cosmonauts, the station and work on it.

    Russia Day at the Cosmonautics Museum

    On June 12, the museum will take part in the Moscow Museum Week event and will be open for free admission. Tickets can be purchased atMos.ru.

    From 12:00 to 16:00 at the main entrance you can take part in astronomical observations, organized jointly with the Center for Pedagogical Excellence: through telescopes, guests will examine the heavenly bodies even in the middle of the day. In addition, the museum will host a creative master class, organized by the Rostokino Gallery, thematically related to the holiday and dedicated to the achievements of Russian cosmonautics. Participants will master various artistic techniques and learn many interesting things about space.

    At 17:00, a walking lecture will begin at the Memorial House-Museum of Academician S.P. Korolev (a branch of the Cosmonautics Museum). During the walk, visitors will learn the history of the appearance on the map of Moscow of a unique space where the famous Soviet scientist, chief designer of rocket and space systems, lived. You can get on an unusual excursion with tickets to the house-museum andpre-registration.

    Exhibitions and “Vinyl Space”

    Until June 24, the Museum of Cosmonautics will continue to host the exhibition “12 Minutes and 9 Seconds That Shook the World.” This is a joint project with the Russian State Archive of Scientific and Technical Documentation, dedicated to the sixtieth anniversary of the first spacewalk by Alexei Leonov. It features many exclusive materials, including previously unpublished production drawings of “Product 3KD,” the Voskhod-2 spacecraft. Admission to the exhibition is bytickets to the museum.

    Until June 30, the outdoor exhibition “Space Milestones of Designer Semenov” is open, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Yuri Semenov, President and General Designer of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia (1989–2005), Hero of Socialist Labor, and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    At the end of the month, the Memorial House-Museum of Academician S.P. Korolev will once again host an evening of music as part of the Vinyl Space project – this time in honor of the 130th anniversary of the birth of singer and conductor Leonid Utesov, as well as the 120th anniversary of the birth of opera singer Ivan Kozlovsky.

    The Museum of Cosmonautics will not ignore Youth Day either: a special festive program is being prepared for June 29, the details of which will be announced a little later.

    He learned about technological breakthroughs spanning new energy vehicle models, advanced manufacturing technologies and processes, and autonomous driving systems, in relation to the group’s Hongqi brand.

    Prof Sun also learned about the FAW Group’s innovative achievements as a state-owned mega automobile enterprise and a leading corporation in China’s automobile industry.

    Prof Sun outlined that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s Hong Kong Innovation & Technology Development Blueprint identifies advanced manufacturing, new energy and new industrialisation as key strategic priorities.

    “Under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle, Hong Kong has the unique advantages of enjoying the strong support of the country and being closely connected to the world. It is a two-way gateway for attracting overseas enterprises to Hong Kong and helping Mainland enterprises go global, as well as an ideal platform for Mainland enterprises to venture overseas markets.”

    The technology chief said he looked forward to Hong Kong making new contributions to the innovative development of the country’s new energy automobile industry chain.

    Prof Sun also highlighted that the 2025 International Automotive Supply Chain Expo (Hong Kong) will be held at AsiaWorld-Expo from June 12 to 15.

    He said the Innovation, Technology & Industry Bureau, as the expo’s advising organisation, believes Hong Kong can serve as an exchange platform for the global automobile industry’s supply chain.

    Moreover, it hopes the expo will promote new industrialisation in Hong Kong, while showcasing cutting-edge technologies and the latest achievements of the Mainland’s new energy automobile industry.

    Commissioner for Industry (Innovation & Technology) Ge Ming was also part of the visit.

    Prof Sun returned to Hong Kong this afternoon.

    UConn’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR) welcomed fellow researchers and poultry industry representatives from across the US and the world to the Storrs campus to continue their interdependent work on the Sustainable Agricultural Systems (SAS) Poultry Project. 

    In 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) awarded Kumar Venkitanarayanan, CAHNR senior associate dean of research and graduate education and professor of animal science, a $10 million grant in 2020 to lead the initiative.

    “This group has made considerable progress on each component of our project – bird health, human health, and the environmental impact of the poultry industry,” says Venkitanarayanan. “This has been a collective effort, and being able to meet to continue discussing and sharing ideas keeps our work moving forward.” 

    At the two-day meeting, held at the Innovation Partnership Building, the multi-institutional group and its project teams discussed their on-going efforts to enhance broiler sustainability without antibiotics and ensure safe approaches to improve chicken, human, and environmental health. The meeting comes as the grant enters its final year and the group begins assessing the scope and breadth of the innovations and impacts made over the last five years.

    The group has made a number of technological advancements to lower heat stress, improve bird welfare, generate energy from poultry litter, and reduce disease, including a UConn-patented probiotic spray method that improves the hatchability and the health of chicks. 

    Additionally, the project has also developed classes and outreach programs to train producers and the next generation of poultry farmers, including a class right here at UConn. 

    Their efforts to ensure the long-term viability, safety, and public trust in antibiotic-restricted poultry farming took a global perspective at the meeting. International speakers discussed poultry production practices around the world, including Mexico, Southeastern Europe, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa. 

    The meeting also featured an industry panel Q&A and a poster session. 

    “We approach our work from a One Health perspective, acknowledging the connection between the health of people, animals, and our environment,” says Venkitanarayanan. “This work is critically important for our society and CAHNR is a unique leader in this type of interdisciplinary research.” 

    Other institutions involved in this project are Appalachian State University, University of Arkansas, University of Georgia, Auburn University, Kansas State University, University of Maryland, University of Minnesota, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, North Carolina State University, Pennsylvania State University, Prairie View Agricultural and Mechanical University, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of Arkansas, Maryland, and Mississippi. 

    This research is supported by USDA NIFA award number 2020-69012-31823. 

    This work relates to CAHNR’s Strategic Vision area focused on Ensuring a Vibrant and Sustainable Agricultural Industry and Food Supply.

  • MIL-OSI: Kaltura’s AI Learning Agent Wins “e-Learning Innovation of the Year”, Ushering in a New Era of Personalized Education

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Kaltura (Nasdaq: KLTR), the AI Video Experience Cloud, today announced that the Kaltura Class Genie has been selected as the winner of the “e-Learning Innovation of the Year” award in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards. The EdTech Breakthrough Awards honor startups, established companies, and innovators who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and a commitment to progress in educational technology. 

    The Kaltura Class Genie is an AI learning agent that creates hyper-personalized learning experiences for students, leading to better educational outcomes. Launched in 2024, the Class Genie represents a revolutionary leap in e-learning, marking a shift from traditional, one-size-fits-all education to dynamic, AI-driven collaboration between students and teachers that is tailored to every learner’s unique needs.  

    Class Genie has already reversed a long-standing challenge: students being unable to take advantage of materials they were unaware of. Based on Kaltura’s Class Genie testing, an astounding 92% of the content accessed through the Genie was from sources that students had never seen before, representing a dramatic increase in engagement and discovery, especially of long-tail content that holds educational value but would otherwise remain buried in institutional archives. 

    Class Genie creates individualized immersive learning resources tailored to personal needs based on each student’s preferences, engagement patterns, and past interactions, drawing exclusively from their institution’s trusted knowledge base. It integrates seamlessly with institutional content repositories – from course libraries to campus-wide archives – enabling students to ask questions through a chat interface and receive instant, context-aware support in the form of direct answers, interactive flashcards, key video clips from relevant lecture moments, and clearly cited source materials.  

    “We built Class Genie to help students where they are in their education journeys. By offering personalized, timely support and keeping students engaged while empowering educators with more effective and impactful teaching tools, we are creating the future for schooling,” said Eynav (Navi) Azaria, Chief Product and Engineering Officer at Kaltura. “Being recognized with this award is a strong validation of our vision and momentum in creating truly individualized learning experiences.”  

    Kaltura has been a leader in educational technology for years, powering learning experiences for hundreds of institutions worldwide and more than 9M students and faculty members, including more than 50% of US R1 universities and Ivy League schools. A pioneer in remote and virtual learning, Kaltura has created industry-leading e-learning solutions that played a key role in the digital transformation education has undergone in the past decade. Even before the launch of its AI-powered Class Genie, Kaltura’s all-in-one video platform for education has been enriching the digital education experience for students, improving learning outcomes, increasing adoption for staff and saving costs for IT departments. With powerful tools for lecture capture, virtual classrooms, LMS Video integration, and robust accessibility capabilities, Kaltura’s platform creates engaging, inclusive, and scalable learning experiences across every academic touchpoint. 

    The EdTech Breakthrough Awards evaluate the global educational technology industry each year to recognize and highlight the breakthrough EdTech solutions and companies. This year’s program attracted more than 2,700 nominations from countries all over the world. 

    About Kaltura  
    Kaltura’s mission is to create and power AI-infused hyper-personalized video experiences that boost customer and employee engagement and success.

  • MIL-OSI: Salsify Launches FeedbackIQ to Streamline GDSN with AI

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Salsify, the Product Experience Management (PXM) platform empowering brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to win on the digital shelf, today announced a significant enhancement to its Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) product with the launch of FeedbackIQ. This new AI-powered capability interprets complex GDSN Confirmation of Information Consistency (CIC) feedback—automated messages retailers send to confirm or reject product data—helping users quickly pinpoint specific attributes that need attention and eliminating the manual troubleshooting that often delays products from reaching the market.

    “The GDSN can be difficult to manage,” said Danielle Mytrohovich, Product Experience Manager at KIND Snack Bars in a recent case study. “One error can cause an entire submission to fail. Salsify helps us ensure information accuracy before we submit to the GDSN, which is a gamechanger.” Since implementing Salsify, KIND has experienced a 10% sales lift, a +79% increase in average bullet point compliance, and a +33% increase in image compliance at one of their top retailer partners.

    Today’s announcement caps a steady stream of recent investments for Salsify’s global GDSN customers, including expanding support for GDSN local validation rules and attributes to Spain, Poland, Italy, Greece, Czechia, Sweden, and Finland. Unlike fragmented legacy solutions, Salsify was designed from the ground up as a unified platform, combining PIM, GDSN, DAM, Syndication, and Analytics. This approach eliminates data silos, empowering customers to centrally govern all product content from one trusted source of truth, automatically transform it for each trading partner’s unique requirements, and efficiently manage information transfer to multiple recipients on a global scale.

    “For modern commerce, the importance of GDSN cannot be overstated – it’s fundamental to ensuring products reach consumers efficiently and with reliable information,” said Jens Weller, Director of Global GS1 at Salsify. “Manufacturers need to work faster and modernize their approach to managing data in this new, dynamic era of commerce. Interpreting CIC feedback is a perfect application for AI, enabling GDSN data stewards to embed AI directly into their toolset through FeedbackIQ.”

    About Salsify

    Salsify helps thousands of brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in over 140 countries collaborate to make every product experience matter. The company’s Product Experience Management (PXM) platform enables organizations to centralize all of their product content, connect to the commerce ecosystem, and automate business processes in order to deliver the best possible product experiences across every selling destination.

    Accessibility Statement

    • oeuk.org.uk
    • 4 June 2025

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
    • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
    3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]

    Kagiso Rabada’s month suspension after he failed a drug test was because the fast bowler tested positive for cocaine, the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport has said.

    Rabada, who was with the Gujarat Titans when he returned home from the Indian Premier League in April, admitted failing a drug test and apologised for his actions.

    The 30-year-old, ranked number two in the test bowler rankings, said he had returned an adverse analytical finding for the use of a recreational drug.

    Rabada had been tested in January when he was playing in the SA20 for MI Cape Town and SAIDS said in a report published this week that it detected the presence of Benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine.

    Rabada returned from his suspension to play two matches for Gujarat, who finished third in the standings.

    He is due to spearhead South Africa’s bowling attack in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s when they face Australia from June 11-15.

  • MIL-OSI: NobleAI Introduces Powerful, Practical AI Solutions For Chemistry and Energy

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NobleAI announced today commercial availability of its best-in-class VIP (Visualizations, Insights & Predictions) Platform, an enterprise-grade SaaS offering that delivers the richest feature-set in the rapidly-growing materials informatics sector. For chemistry, the VIP Platform dramatically speeds up the development of molecules, compounds, and formulations while reducing the cost and waste associated with the current slow, iterative, lab-centric paradigm. Energy companies use NobleAI’s solutions to enhance forecasting accuracy, improve asset performance and reduce operational uncertainty. In both sectors, the result is faster time to market, better technical decisions, and greater profitability.

    NobleAI also announced the availability of two new pre-built applications that run on the VIP Platform. Deploy Your Own Models (DYOM) and Model Builder For Formulation (MBFF) are industry-first capabilities that democratize access to advanced predictive modeling technology, making powerful practical AI tools accessible across any enterprise. These two new applications join the previously released Risk Assessment and Ingredient Replacement (RAIR) applications in the expanding VIP Platform ecosystem.

    “Innovation in chemistry and energy has been constrained by slow and expensive development cycles, even as digital transformation has reshaped other sectors,” said NobleAI CEO Sunil Sanghavi. “NobleAI’s VIP Platform and Science-Based AI technology transform that paradigm fundamentally. We help companies develop and deploy solutions for their real-world problems, whether molecules or oil wells or anything in between. And we do this with unmatched speed, as companies can now do on laptops what previously had to be done in labs, and can achieve results in minutes or days, not months or years. Our practical AI solutions reduce risk and deliver increased revenues and profits for our enterprise customers.”

    “This is a seminal year for the fusion of AI and science. NobleAI is redefining possibilities by transforming innovation through intelligent, iterative design across industries from chemicals to energy and materials,” said Sudeep Basu, PhD, Global Innovation Practice Leader, Frost & Sullivan.

    VIP Platform: Transformational Capabilities

    The VIP Platform is an integrated suite of tools for creating and using AI models to solve complex challenges in chemistry, materials and energy. It is the only solution on the market delivering science-based ensemble models, incorporating multiple use case-relevant scales (from molecular to meso to macro) as well as all appropriate scientific principles. This architecture, the core of NobleAI’s proprietary SBAI technology, delivers high-confidence predictions even with limited training data. All customer data is strictly private and used only for that customer’s model.

    The VIP Platform enables development teams to generate predictions by conducting rapid virtual, “in-silico” experiments – including forward and inverse design, and systematically varying ingredient volume or concentrations to test performance impacts (parameter sweeps) – before testing a few promising candidates in the lab, dramatically accelerating the development process.

    Scientists can check the predictions through explainable AI models, trace predictions back to their scientific foundations, and examine outcomes at any level of detail – eliminating the “black box” problem of today’s AI solutions.

    Other core capabilities of the platform include visualizations and insights. These enable users to explore, compare, and understand model predictions through intuitive, interactive visuals. Teams can analyze prediction uncertainty, generate custom charts and graphs, and compare results side by side to identify trends and optimize outcomes. Interactive side-by-side chart analysis tools, along with suggested experiments for validation, help users interpret AI results quickly and confidently — turning predictions into actionable insights.

    VIP is a modern, full-stack platform built with enterprise-grade security and flexible cloud deployment options.

    VIP Applications: Democratizing AI
    NobleAI is also introducing two powerful, no-code applications on the scalable VIP Platform that democratize access to AI across the enterprise:

    Deploy Your Own Models (DYOM) enables data science teams to securely integrate and deploy their own proprietary AI models on the VIP Platform. Lab scientists and other users can then run these models on their own and access the full set of rich capabilities of the VIP Platform. Data science teams are freed to focus on model development and improvement.

    Model Builder For Formulations (MBFF) is a transformational application that puts advanced science-based model creation directly in the hands of product developers and formulators without requiring data science expertise. Through an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, users can upload any available data, define inputs and outputs, and select preferred performance metrics. MBFF validates data quality and generates candidate SBAI models using NobleAI’s proprietary technology. Users can select and deploy the most appropriate model directly within the VIP Platform.

    With the launch of the VIP Platform and its growing suite of applications, NobleAI is transforming how chemistry and energy companies apply practical AI to real-world challenges. NobleAI delivers unmatched speed, scientific rigor and commercial impact — transforming how innovation happens.
