  • MIL-OSI Global: Queer country: LGBTQ+ musicians are outside the spotlight as Grand Ole Opry turns 100

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Tanya Olson, Associate Teaching Professor, University of Maryland, Baltimore County

    The iconic circle in the Grand Ole Opry stage. Who gets to stand in it? Timothy Wildey/Flickr, CC BY-NC

    On March 15, 1974, the Grand Ole Opry country music radio show closed its run at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, with Johnny and June Carter Cash leading the song “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” After that final show, a six-foot circle of wood was cut from the Ryman stage and moved to the new Grand Ole Opry House.

    The next night, Roy Acuff opened the first show at the new venue. A video of Acuff singing in the 1940s played before the screen lifted to reveal Acuff himself, singing live in the same spot. The message was clear: Though the stage had changed, the story continued. The circle had not been broken.

    The Opry began on WSM on Nov. 28, 1925, and is celebrating its centennial with a series of concerts and tributes under the name Opry 100. On March 19, 2025, Reba McEntire stepped onto the iconic circle on the Grand Ole Opry stage and kicked off NBC’s Opry 100 celebration with a verse of “Sweet Dreams.”

    The final song of the night was “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” performed by country legends like Bill Anderson and Jeannie Seely alongside newcomers like Lainey Wilson and Post Malone. It was a moment meant to celebrate 100 years of country music tradition and connection with a stage full of voices harmonizing across generations. A circle, unbroken.

    But that night in March, one group of country performers was missing. Not a single openly gay, lesbian or bisexual artist appeared onstage during the anniversary celebration. In a moment designed to honor the full sweep of the genre’s past and future, a long line of country musicians was left standing outside the spotlight once again.

    Wilma Burgess’ sexuality was common knowledge in music industry circles in the 1960s and ‘70s.

    A slowly opening circle

    Country music has never been without queer voices, but it regularly refuses to acknowledge them.

    From 1962 to 1982, Wilma Burgess had 15 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country chart and two Grammy Award nominations. She recorded with legendary producer Owen Bradley and had Top 10 hits like “Misty Blue.” Despite this success, Burgess never played the Opry. Though Burgess was never publicly out, her sexuality was common knowledge in recording circles. In the 1980s, she left music and opened The Hitching Post, Nashville’s first lesbian bar. Like so many queer country artists, Burgess had to build her legacy outside the circle.

    In the 1980s and 90s, k.d. lang and Sid Spencer expanded the presence of queer artists in country music. Lang won two Grammys and performed at the Opry, but she was labeled “cowpunk” and left the genre before coming out in 1992. Spencer released albums and toured widely within the gay rodeo circuit, but he was never recognized by mainstream country before his 1996 death from AIDS-related complications.

    The 2000s offered small openings. Mary Gauthier became the first openly queer artist to perform on the Opry stage in 2005. Chely Wright had a No. 1 country single before coming out in 2010, but didn’t return to the Opry until 2019. Ty Herndon charted 17 singles before coming out in 2014. He wouldn’t appear at the Opry again until 2023.

    These artists established themselves first and came out later, at great professional cost. The Opry hosts 5–6 shows a week, featuring 6–8 artists each night. In that context, a nine-year absence isn’t just a scheduling gap. In addition, the Grand Ole Opry currently has 76 members, a special designation indicating a level of success in country music. None of them identify as LGBTQ+.

    Today, there are signs of change. Lily Rose, who has been openly queer since the beginning of her career, receives radio play, has songs on the charts and tours widely. But she remains the exception, not the rule. Other openly LGBTQ+ artists like Paisley Fields, Mya Byrne and Amythyst Kiah are recording, performing and building loyal audiences, but they are still rarely featured on country radio or invited onto the Opry stage. The circle may be widening, but for many queer artists, it’s still just out of reach.

    The importance of the circle

    In country music, visibility isn’t just symbolic. If you’re not on the radio, you don’t chart. If you don’t chart, you don’t tour. Without that platform, you can’t build a legacy.

    Country radio and the Opry stage serve as gatekeepers of who counts. In 2015, a radio consultant infamously compared women artists to “tomatoes in the salad,” stating a few were fine, but they shouldn’t dominate. That same logic has long applied to queer artists; they can be tolerated at the edges but are rarely treated as essential.

    Genre labeling becomes another barrier. Brandi Carlile and Brandy Clark both openly identify as lesbians and have been embraced by country audiences and critics alike, but they are routinely categorized as Americana artists. That rebranding often functions as a fence that keeps artists close enough to celebrate, but far enough to exclude.

    Gina Venier is one of today’s many openly gay country artists.

    Reimagining the circle

    The Opry’s centennial celebrations are scheduled to continue through the end of 2025 with a concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall and a final anniversary show in Nashville on Nov. 28. Perhaps openly queer artists will take the stage at those events. If they do, it won’t just be symbolic; it will be a long overdue acknowledgment of artists who have always been here, even if they weren’t always seen.

    Country music’s strength lies in how it braids together American traditions: gospel and blues, Black and white, rural and urban, old and new. It’s not a genre built on purity, but one that relies on the mix. That mix is what makes country music American – and what makes it endure.

    If the circle on the Opry stage is meant to stand for country music itself, then I hope it will be like the music: honest and able to grow. If “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” is more of a promise than just a closing number, the future of country music depends on who’s allowed in the circle to sing it next.

  • MIL-OSI Global: Air traffic controller shortages in Newark and other airports partly reflect long, intense training − but university-based training programs are becoming part of the solution

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Melanie Dickman, Lecturer in Aviation Studies, The Ohio State University

    Air traffic controllers have been in the news a lot lately.

    A spate of airplane crashes and near misses have highlighted the ongoing shortage of air traffic workers, leading more Americans to question the safety of air travel.

    The shortage, as well as aging computer systems, have also led to massive flight disruptions at airports across the country, particularly at Newark Liberty International Airport. The staffing shortage is also likely at the center of an investigation of a deadly crash between a commercial plane and an Army helicopter over Washington, D.C., in January 2025.

    One reason for the air traffic controller shortage relates to the demands of the job: The training to become a controller is extremely intense, and the Federal Aviation Administration wants only highly qualified personnel to fill those seats, which has made it difficult for what has been the sole training center in the U.S., located in Oklahoma City, to churn out enough qualified graduates each year.

    As scholars who study and teach tomorrow’s aviation professionals, we are working to be part of the solution. Our program at Ohio State University is applying to join over two dozen other schools in an effort to train air traffic controllers and help alleviate the shortage.

    Air traffic controller school

    Air traffic control training today – overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration – remains as intense as it’s ever been.

    In fact, about 30% of students fail to make it from their first day of training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City to the status of a certified professional air traffic controller. The academy currently trains the majority of the air traffic controllers in the U.S.

    Before someone is accepted into the training program, they must meet several qualifications. That includes being a U.S. citizen under the age of 31 and speaking English clearly enough to be understood over the radio. The low recruitment age is because controllers currently have a mandatory retirement age of 56 – with some exceptions – and the FAA wants them to work for at least 25 years in the job.

    They must also pass a medical exam and security investigation. And they must pass the air traffic controller specialists skills assessment battery, which measures an applicant’s spatial awareness and decision-making abilities.

    Candidates, additionally, must have three years of general work experience, or a combination of postsecondary education and work experience totaling at least three years.

    This alone is no easy feat. Fewer than 10% of applicants meet those initial requirements and are accepted into training.

    Intense training

    Once applicants meet the initial qualifications, they begin a strenuous training process.

    This begins with several weeks of classroom instruction and several months of simulator training. There are several types of simulators, and a student is assigned to a simulator based on the type of facility for which they will be hired – which depends on a trainee’s preference and where controllers are needed.

    There are two main types of air traffic facilities: control towers and radar. Anyone who has flown on a plane has likely seen a control tower near the runways, with 360 degrees of tall glass windows to monitor the skies nearby. Controllers there mainly look outside to direct aircraft but also use radar to monitor the airspace and assist aircraft in taking off and landing safely.

    Radar facilities, on the other hand, monitor aircraft solely through the use of information depicted on a screen. This includes aircraft flying just outside the vicinity of a major airport or when they’re at higher altitudes and crisscrossing the skies above the U.S. The controllers ensure they don’t fly too close to one another as they follow their flight paths between airports.

    If the candidates make it through the first stage, which takes about six months and extensive testing to meet standards, they will be sent to their respective facilities.

    Once there, they again go to the classroom, learning the details of the airspace they will be working in. There are more assessments and chances to “wash out” and have to leave the program.

    Finally, the candidates are paired with an experienced controller who conducts on-the-job training to control real aircraft. This process may take an additional year or more. It depends on the complexity of the airspace and the amount of aircraft traffic at the site.

    Increasing the employment pipeline

    But no matter how good the training is, if there aren’t enough graduates, that’s a problem for managing the increasingly crowded skies.

    The FAA is currently facing a deficit of about 3,000 controllers and has unveiled a plan in May 2025 to increase hiring and boost retention. In addition, Congress is mulling spending billions of dollars to update the FAA’s aging systems and hire more air traffic controllers.

    Other plans include paying retention bonuses and allowing more controllers to work beyond the age of 56. That retirement age was put in place in the 1970s on the assumption that cognition for most people begins to decline around then, although research shows that age alone is not necessarily a predictor of cognitive abilities.

    But we believe that aviation programs and universities can play an important role fixing the shortage by providing FAA Academy-level training.

    Currently, 32 universities including the Florida Institute of Technology and Arizona State University partner with the FAA in its collegiate training initiative to provide basic air traffic control training, which gives graduates automatic entry into the FAA Academy and allows them to skip five weeks of coursework.

    The institution where we work, Ohio State University, is currently working on becoming the 33rd this summer and plans to offer an undergraduate major in aviation with specialization in air traffic control.

    This helps, but an enhanced version of this program, announced in October 2024, allows graduates of a select few of those universities to skip the FAA Academy altogether and go straight to a control tower or radar facility once they’ve passed all the extensive tests. These schools must match or exceed the level of rigor in their training with the FAA Academy itself.

    At the end of the program, students are required to pass an evaluation by an FAA-approved evaluator to ensure that the student graduating from the program meets the same standards as all FAA Academy graduates and is prepared to go to their assigned facility for further training. So far, five schools, such as the University of North Dakota, have joined this program and are currently training air traffic controllers. We intend to join this group in the near future.

    Allowing colleges and universities to start the training process while students are still in school should accelerate the pace at which new controllers enter the workforce, alleviate the shortage and make the skies over the U.S. as safe as they can be.

  • MIL-OSI: TruGolf Clarifies Nasdaq Compliance Plan and Provides Context to Equity Line of Credit

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Salt Lake City, Utah, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading golf technology company, has clarified its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules in response to shareholder inquiries. On August 19, 2024, TruGolf Holdings, Inc. received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was ($10,508,104), and therefore, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), which requires a $10,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity standard (the “Equity Rule”). On May 15, 2025, the Company presented a plan to the Nasdaq Hearings panel on how it plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules and requested an extension to execute on the plan. To date the Hearings panel has not rendered a determination. There can be no assurance that it will provide an extension or move to delist. The key provisions of the plan were:

    • The Company converted approximately ⅔’s of the accrued dividends payable owed to the company’s founders to common stock.
    • The PIPE note holders agreed to exchange their outstanding notes and associated warrants for new preferred shares and warrants. All unissued notes would be canceled.
    • The Company has entered into an Equity Line of Credit for $20 million that could provide liquidity without reducing shareholder equity if additional funds to operate the business are required.
    • A reverse split would be approved by the Board, subject to shareholder authorization, if necessary to regain compliance with Nasdaq minimum pricing rules.

    Chris Jones, CEO of TruGolf, had this to say about the plan. “The Company will be holding a special meeting of shareholders on May 30th to vote on actions relating to this plan. However, since disclosure of all details of the plan, the Company has received multiple inquiries requesting clarification of the purpose of the Equity Line of Credit that was entered into as part of the plan.” As reported in the Company’s first quarter Form 10-Q on May 15th. “TruGolf has a strong cash position of greater than $10 million which is more than adequate to satisfy its current operating needs. The line was put in place in the event that a special situation or opportunity may arise in the future so the Company could avoid debt when financing its actions.”

  • MIL-OSI: HashFly Implements Advanced AI For Cloud Mining Operations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    HashFly, one of the leading cloud mining platform, is heading into the future with the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology into its mining processes. With the use of AI, HashFly seeks to revolutionize cloud mining through enhanced operational efficiency, profitability maximization, and providing users with stable returns amid an ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies.

    A New Era of Smarter Mining

    In the year 2025, HashFly committed to innovating beyond the limits of what is possible with cloud mining. The integrated advanced AI systems of HashFly platform enable users to make more informed decisions, help them respond rapidly to new conditions, and optimise performance in all mining activities. The AI system receives enormous amounts of data from hash rates, power usage, and market conditions to allow rapid changes to improve mining performance in real time. 

    The AI technologies today enable HashFly to maximize its mining facilities by predicting the market correctly, modifying operations from real-time information, and utilising all available resources to ensure maximum profit for its users.

    David Chen, the CEO of HashFly, stated, “With an Advanced AI model now embedded into our mining operation process, we’re not just improving our ability to mine cryptos but we’re bringing a higher level of intelligence into the process. The integrated AI technology helps us optimize server resources, predict the basic market movements, and ensure that our cloud mining stack are as efficient as possible, leading to better outcomes for our users.”

    How AI Enhances HashFly’s Cloud Mining Performance

    The incorporation of AI into HashFly’s cloud mining system brings several distinct advantages. By processing its real-time data from mining operations, the platform can automatically adjust mining processes to make sure they are as efficient as possible, even during highly fluctuating market conditions.

    Some of the ways AI improves cloud mining at HashFly include:

    • Predictive Adjustments: AI can forecast market shifts and adjust mining strategies accordingly, ensuring the platform stays profitable even as conditions change.
    • Real-Time Data Analysis: The mining operations data helps the system to make instant adjustments for continuous optimisation of the mining process to increase yield.
    • Efficient Resource Management: The integrated AI model ensures that the mining resources are properly distributed and used in the most efficient way to increase productivity.
    • Cost Efficiency: The AI system improves energy consumption and reduces waste by analyzing network difficulty and adjusting mining power accordingly.

    “AI helps us achieve a level of adaptability that was once unattainable,” Chen added. “We no longer rely solely on manual oversight. The AI calculates the learning from each data point and adjusts automatically, making our mining operations responsive to the market than they were before.”

    Transparency and Control for Users

    One of the main Advantages for HashFly users is the added transparency that comes with AI integration. The user interface of the platform offers real-time monitoring of mining performance, allowing users to monitor their income, keep track of the effectiveness of their operations, and make informed decisions regarding their investments.

    With the help of AI, HashFly ensures that users can make informed choices based on real-time data rather than relying on outdated mining metrics. This level of transparency strengthens trust between the platform and its users, providing them with more control over their investments.

    A Commitment to Sustainability

    When it comes to the performance and profitability of the platform, HashFly is also leveraging AI to improve the sustainability of its mining operations. The data centres of HashFly are running on renewable energy, which is integrated with the advanced AI, will help to further optimise energy consumption by adjusting mining activity based on real-time network conditions. This commitment to reducing energy consumption makes HashFly’s operations more environmentally friendly and efficient.

    “We are committed to running our mining operations as sustainably as possible,” said Chen. “AI plays a critical role in helping us achieve that by ensuring we minimise energy waste and maximise the return on every resource we use.”

    A Future Built on Innovation

    A Future Built on Innovation With this step into artificial intelligence, HashFly is to set the stage for a new standard in the cryptocurrency mining industry by integrating an advanced AI model. HashFly improves the way it operates but also helps its users take advantage of smarter mining strategies that enhance profitability.

    As the crypto market continues to evolve, the HashFly team’s approach will ensure that it maintains a trusted platform for cloud mining investors from all around the world. By combining an advanced AI model with the power of cloud mining, HashFly is going to shape the future of digital asset mining, which offers users an efficient yet profitable way to engage in the industry.

  • MIL-OSI: New Study Reveals Agriculture as Largest, Most Resource-Intensive Industry on Earth

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RA Capital Management’s Planetary Health Team and The Nature Conservancy have released a groundbreaking analysis that exposes agriculture as the most resource-intensive industry on Earth: it’s the leading contributor to methane emissions, a key driver of water pollution, and it uses roughly half of viable land on Earth. As agriculture is often viewed in silos, its $15T scale and opportunity are often overlooked. The just-released Agriculture Map by RA Capital Management’s Planetary Health team and The Nature Conservancy calls for a systems-level approach to address the urgent risks and transformative opportunities within agriculture through innovation, incentives to change, and direct investment.

    A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link.

    The Agricultural Map highlights:

    • Agriculture’s massive footprint means high ROI for broader adoption of best practices: optimizing global yields of staple grains, fruits, and vegetables would allow the world to produce the same amount of food with much less land – freeing up a land area the size of Mexico (~3x the size of Texas).
    • Agriculture produces more methane (a potent greenhouse gas) than any other human activity: Cattle alone produce as much methane as oil, coal, and bioenergy; rice paddies produce more methane than the natural gas industry.
    • Agriculture consumes more water than any other human activity and also causes the most water pollution. Investment in on-field and edge-of-field systems can significantly improve water quality and use. 
    • Fertilizer is important for optimizing crop yields, but fertilizer runoff causes hundreds of billions of dollars worth of losses each year, mostly due to impacts on commercial fishing, tourism, and property values, and creates aquatic dead zones the size of the United Kingdom.

    “Agriculture is the backbone of our global economy, but it’s also the most resource-intensive and environmentally demanding industry on Earth. If we are serious about tackling climate change, water pollution, and food security, we must rethink how we grow, produce, and manage our resources. Sustainable solutions are not just an option – they are a necessity to transform agriculture into a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient industry that can feed the world for generations to come,” noted Kyle Teamey, managing partner, RA Capital Planetary Health.

    Details within the Agriculture Map provide decision-makers with the knowledge they need to navigate the future of agriculture, from sustainable investment strategies to policy reform and innovation in farming technologies. The findings challenge conventional wisdom and call for urgent and coordinated attention from businesses, investors, governments, and philanthropic organizations. The map is a culmination of extensive research led by RA Capital and The Nature Conservancy. It combines proprietary data analysis with a systems-level approach to visualize and communicate the scale and interconnectedness of global agriculture’s planetary impacts while highlighting a range of potential solutions for select problems.

    “The environmental and human health challenges posed by the food system are well-understood in some circles but making this information material and actionable to stakeholders can be a real challenge,” said Stephen Wood, Senior Scientist of Agriculture and Food Systems at The Nature Conservancy. “This map makes it possible for non-experts to quickly understand the scope and scale of the problem, as well as the solutions.”

    The full map is available for download at Agriculture: Hiding in Plain Sight.

  • MIL-OSI: Check Point to Acquire Veriti to Transform Threat Exposure Management and Reduce Organizations’ Cyber Attack Surface

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AI-fueled attacks and hyperconnected IT environments have made threat exposure one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges facing enterprises today. In response, Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Veriti Cybersecurity, the first fully automated, multi-vendor pre-emptive threat exposure and mitigation platform.

    “The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realizing our hybrid mesh security vision,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. “It strengthens the Infinity Platform’s open-garden approach, enabling seamless, multi-vendor remediation across the entire security stack. With Veriti, we’re advancing preemptive, prevention-first security – an imperative in today’s AI-driven threat landscape.”

    AI has brought cyber security to a tipping point, enabling the launch of attacks at scale. At the same time, enterprises are hyperconnected, with assets spread across clouds, datacenters, and endpoints, vastly expanding their attack surface. Traditional reactive security is too slow. Veriti continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risk across your multi-vendor environment through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence, all without disrupting business.

    Founded in 2021, Veriti pioneered the Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM) category—actively discovering and mitigating risks across siloed tools. Veriti continuously monitors logs, threat indicators, and vulnerabilities identified across the environment and propagates protections in real time. With integrations into over 70 vendors, it empowers security teams to detect, understand, and prevent attacks without delay.

    Core capabilities Veriti brings to the Check Point Infinity Platform:

    • Automated, cross-vendor virtual patching: Veriti instantly applies risk-free, non-disruptive protections across dozens of third-party tools, based on vulnerabilities identified by platforms like CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Rapid7, dramatically reducing patching time from weeks to minutes.
    • Real-time threat intelligence enforcement: Veriti verifies threat indicators from any connected tool and automatically orchestrates protection across firewalls, endpoints, WAFs, and cloud platform, enabling fast, coordinated, multi-vendor threat response.
    • Seamless integration with 70+ security vendors: Built with a fully API-based architecture, Veriti integrates into existing environments without agents or disruption, supporting the broadest security ecosystem in the market.
    • Stronger synergy with Wiz: Veriti ingests Wiz’s cloud exposure insights, such as vulnerable, unpatched cloud servers or applications, and enables automatic, safe virtual patching of those assets through Check Point gateways (and other vendors’ as well), enhancing Check Point’s ability to execute on its strategic partnership with Wiz.
    • Safe, context-aware remediation: Veriti analyzes each customer’s environment, including exposures, configurations, and existing protections, to apply the right controls safely, and without operational impact.

    “Security teams today suffer from a lack of action: exposures aren’t just detected, they’re compounding, hiding in the gaps between tools, teams, and timelines,” said Adi Ikan, CEO and co-founder of Veriti. “We founded Veriti to help organizations not just see risk, but remediate it safely, at scale, and most importantly – without disruption. By joining Check Point, we’re accelerating that mission. Together, we’ll help organizations reduce their exposure faster through the security tools they already trust.”

    Following the closure of the transaction, Veriti’s capabilities will be integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform as part of the Threat Exposure and Risk Management offering. Combined with the recently added External Risk Management (ERM) solution, Veriti enhances Check Point’s ability to deliver complete risk lifecycle coverage—proactively managing both internal and external exposures across the entire attack surface.

    The closing of the transaction is subject to the customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of Q2 2025.

  • MIL-OSI: Regula Rolls Out Personal Data Masking Across All Solutions for Easier Privacy Compliance

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RESTON, Va., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To help organizations stay ahead of tightening data privacy regulations, Regula, a global developer of identity verification solutions, has extended its personal data masking functionality to Regula Forensic Studio (RFS), software that powers forensic devices. This new update helps document experts protect personal data with a single click, meeting growing privacy demands without disrupting workflows.

    Already available in Regula Document Reader SDK, the personal data hiding feature is now also a part of the RFS toolset used by border control officers, forensic professionals, and law enforcement agencies. This means the entire Regula ecosystem—from real-time ID verification to in-depth forensic analysis—now supports robust privacy controls natively.

    Just one click on “Depersonalize” in the RFS menu—and all the personal data in an ID is blurred

    This enhancement comes at a time when compliance is not just a checkbox, but a business-critical imperative. According to Regula’s global survey, 28% of companies cite regulatory compliance as the primary reason for implementing identity verification solutions. Among large enterprises, that figure rises to 35%.

    The new capability allows document experts to easily blur or hide personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, photos, and ID numbers, directly within forensic workflows. This ensures that sensitive data is handled responsibly while meeting strict global requirements like GDPR, CCPA, and others.

    “Regula’s forensic tools are trusted by professionals who handle the most sensitive identity documents, so privacy and compliance can’t be an afterthought,” said Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula. “With one-click data masking now built into our ID verification tools, experts can instantly anonymize personal information during analysis, enabling secure, compliant workflows for audits, training, or database creation, without sacrificing speed or accuracy.”

    What else is new in Regula Forensic Studio?

    In addition to the personal data masking feature, the latest RFS release includes 40+ updates focused on speed, customization, and forensic precision:

    • New analysis tools: Yellow dot analysis for tracing document origins and detecting unauthorized duplicates.
    • Smarter imaging: Per-light-source gamma correction and full-spectrum HDR imaging (not just UV), improving clarity across all materials.
    • Streamlined collaboration: Video screen capture and camera recording capabilities support team training and case reviews.
    • Faster insights: Hyperspectral imaging is now 20% faster without compromising detail.
    • Improved digital zoom: Expanded up to 16x for detailed inspections.
    • Visual reporting: Ability to generate composite images under varied lighting, ideal for expert reports or courtroom presentations.
    • Integrated workflows: Automated document searches in the Information Reference System (IRS) after MRZ reading to reduce manual steps.
    • Flexible video modes: Three options for different examination tasks—real-time viewing without frame skipping, high-resolution capture, and an expanded A4 field-of-view mode.
    • Wider OS compatibility: Now supports Rocky and Debian Linux distributions, expanding deployment options.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: APO Group Reveals its Role as Architect Behind Catholic Church in Africa’s Groundbreaking Communications Volunteer Programme

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

    APO Group Reveals its Role as Architect Behind Catholic Church in Africa’s Groundbreaking Communications Volunteer Programme The volunteer task force includes African PR Professionals currently working in major corporations and international NGOs ACCRA, Ghana, May 27, 2025/APO Group/ — APO Group (www.APO-opa.com), a leading award-winning pan-African public relations and communications consultancy, has strategically unveiled a volunteer communications programme comprising experienced communication professionals to support the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) (www.SECAM.org), the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church in Africa. This groundbreaking initiative, developed and launched by APO Group aims to enhance the Roman Catholic Churches ability to communicate effectively and engage with communities across the African continent. The Catholic Church operates 82,235 Catholic Schools in Africa, educating 30,629,476 pupils. Its extensive network of care includes 13,880 facilities such as hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, leprosy centres, homes for the elderly and chronically ill, centres for disabled people, orphanages, kindergartens, and marriage counselling centres. APO Group and SECAM, the governing body of the Roman Catholic Church in Africa, first entered into their partnership in May 2022 with the shared goal of enhancing media and public relations support for the Catholic Church in Africa. Not only did APO Group conceive the volunteer programme but it also assembled a team of elite, well-experienced African communications professionals. The professionalization of SECAM’s communications capabilities extends beyond standard capacity-building. This initiative includes the development and delivery of a strategic communications framework that aligns with SECAM’s core mission and long-term objectives. The effort also builds upon APO Group’s previous collaborations with the Church, which include the creation and roll-out of a comprehensive communications curriculum and tailored training programme for Catholic institutions across Africa. The volunteer communications team will focus on key priorities, such as:

    • Crafting and executing a long-term communications strategy for SECAM to strengthen the voice of the Roman Catholic Church and increase awareness of its work across Africa.
    • Enhancing media relations to amplify the Church’s presence.
    • Designing effective visibility tools to connect with diverse stakeholders across Africa and beyond.

    Several talented professionals have already joined the SECAM Communications Volunteer Programme, bringing a wealth of expertise and a shared commitment to advancing the Church’s mission across Africa. Among them are Catherine Njoroge (https://apo-opa.co/3HapeKg), Head of Marketing and Strategy, who plays a role in shaping long-term plans to strengthen the Church’s visibility; Nyarai Chapingidza (https://apo-opa.co/4myd1PT), Digital MarComm Manager, who drives efforts to boost SECAM’s online presence; Lucy Kimani (https://apo-opa.co/4mxTKhp), Director of Communications and Advocacy, who steers impactful storytelling and advocacy campaigns; and Eunice Chege (https://apo-opa.co/4dw97mi), Communications Advisor, who contributes her extensive experience in developing and implementing communication strategies. Additionally, professionals joining in the business support functions include Majina Mwasezi (https://apo-opa.co/45pvSq3), Project Coordinator; Pauline Lugalia (https://apo-opa.co/4mAchd2), Executive Assistant to the Head of the Catholic Church in Africa; and Anne Nasumba (https://apo-opa.co/3ZBRqMp), Marketing and Communications Coordinator. Rose Thuo (https://apo-opa.co/4dDCMu0), who joined the programme as Chief of Marketing and Communications, said: “We are witnessing a remarkable convergence of talent and purpose. Each volunteer brings something unique to the table, and together, we are building a communications foundation that will serve the African Catholic Church for years to come.” There is an urgent and immediate need for candidates with HR and recruitment, as well as Graphic Design and website management experience to join the Roman Catholic Church in Africa’s volunteer programme. Individuals with this expertise are encouraged to apply and support the Church’s mission by strengthening its operational capacity across the continent. Interested volunteers are encouraged to apply through the official link: https://apo-opa.co/4dTxLxL. “This pro bono initiative reflects APO Group’s commitment to supporting impactful organisations across Africa. Many high-impact organisations (including NGOs) in Africa face financial barriers to establishing strong communication systems. This should never impede their ability to be seen and heard,” said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Chairman of APO Group. “Through initiatives like this volunteer programme, we strive to bridge that gap—delivering professional support to elevate their messaging and outreach at the highest possible level.” “Africa is now the future of the Roman Catholic Church,” said Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo, the President of SECAM. “As our communities continue to grow, it becomes ever more important to amplify our voice and share our mission with the world. “We are grateful to APO Group for their support and expertise in making this vision a reality. Their role in designing and implementing this initiative has been invaluable. APO Group’s dedication to empowering impactful organisations aligns perfectly with our mission, and their contribution will undoubtedly leave a legacy in the Church’s journey toward greater visibility and engagement worldwide.” As part of its ongoing partnership with the Roman Catholic Church in Africa, APO Group has delivered a comprehensive range of support initiatives, including complimentary pan-African press release distribution and media monitoring, extensive online and in-person media training for over 22 communication professionals across the continent, and the provision of Zoom licences to Episcopal and Regional Episcopal Conferences. APO Group Founder and Chairman has personally led training sessions and held strategic meetings with Church dignitaries in several African countries to assess further areas of support. Furthermore, a volunteer programme launched in 2024 is now active, enhancing operational assistance for the Church throughout Africa. According to recent data from the Vatican, there are 1.39 billion Catholics worldwide, representing around 18% of the world’s population. Africa’s 236 million Catholics already make up about 20% of the global Catholic population, but they are also the fastest-growing region in the world. By 2050, the World Christian Database estimates that African Catholics will make up 32% of the global Catholic population. According to the United Nations’ 2022 State of the World’s Volunteerism Report, there are an estimated 862.4 million volunteers globally. Engaging in volunteerism offers individuals a unique opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience, enhance their professional profiles, and develop valuable skills through impactful service.

About the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM): The Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) (www.SECAM.org) was born out of the decision of the African Bishops during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) to establish a forum in which they could speak with one voice on matters pertaining to the Church in Africa. The establishment of SECAM is therefore the result of the Bishops’ resolve to build a continental structure in order to bring forth the African vision to the whole Church. Seeing the importance of such an Association for Africa, the Congregation for the Evangelisation of the Peoples invited the Presidents of the Regional Episcopal Conferences for consultations in 1968. Consequently, the first visit of a Pope to Africa, in modern times, was seen as a very opportune occasion for the launch of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar. This was therefore done during the visit of His Holiness Pope Paul VI in Kampala (Uganda) in July, 1969. Thereafter, it was agreed to establish the Headquarters / Secretariat of SECAM in Accra, Ghana. There are three official languages of SECAM, namely, English, French and Portuguese. SECAM functions through eight regional conferences, each made up of a cluster of national episcopal conferences.

  • Indian stock market ends lower over profit booking

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Indian equity markets closed lower on Tuesday, as investors booked profits amid concerns over high valuations and weakness in global cues. The benchmark indices ended the session in the red, snapping recent gains.

    The BSE Sensex declined by 624.82 points, or 0.76 per cent, to settle at 81,551.63, while the NSE Nifty dropped 174.95 points, or 0.70 per cent, to close at 24,826.20.

    Selling pressure was visible across several key sectors, with FMCG, IT, auto, and metals leading the decline. The Nifty FMCG index fell by 0.88 per cent, Nifty IT by 0.75 per cent, Nifty Auto by 0.70 per cent, and Nifty Financial Services by 0.64 per cent.

    In contrast, midcap and smallcap stocks showed relative strength. The Nifty Midcap 100 rose 87.25 points (0.15%) to end at 57,154.50, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 17.35 points (0.10%) to close at 17,725.15.

    Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said that Nifty has been in a consolidation phase for the past 10–11 days, reflecting investor indecision. “The overall trend remains positive as long as the index stays above its short-term moving average,” he said, adding that Nifty could move towards the 25,000–25,150 range, with support at 24,700.

    The trading session was marked by volatility, with sharp intraday swings on both sides. Sectoral performance remained mixed. While PSU banks and realty stocks showed strength, consumer goods, IT, auto, and financial services sectors witnessed weakness.

    Sundar Kewat of Ashika Institutional Equity noted that the day reflected a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. “It was a classic session of market indecision,” he said.

    Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, observed that midcap and smallcap stocks were buoyed by strong Q4 earnings and a moderation in valuation premiums.

    On the currency front, the rupee traded with a slightly negative bias. Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said the USD-INR pair is expected to see upward movement in the near term due to month-end adjustments and demand from oil importers. Resistance is seen at 85.90, with support at 84.80.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Fifty years later: 1975 road workers graduates meet at SPbGASU

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – LISI Graduates of 1975

    A meeting of graduates of the road construction faculty of the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute (LISI, as our university was then called) of 1975 in the specialty “Motorways” was held at SPbGASU.

    The main organizer of the anniversary meeting was the former head of the group, and now professor of the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction of our university, Alexander Solodkiy.

    “Many of my classmates have achieved great professional success: they worked in leading construction and design organizations in the road industry and in executive authorities managing the road sector, became founders and heads of companies, were awarded the title of “Honorary Road Builder of Russia” and other awards. Thus, Vladimir Valentinovich Kalinin heads the ABZ-1 group of companies, Igor Anatolyevich Pichugov heads the Dorservis group of enterprises. I headed the Department of Transport Systems at SPbGASU for nine years, and I have a Doctor of Science degree. Another Doctor of Science was Evgeny Nikolaevich Barinov, who worked at the Department of Highways at LISI. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us,” said Alexander Solodkiy.

    Aleksandr Ivanovich emphasized that graduates do not lose touch with their alma mater. Thus, Vladimir Kalinin has been the chairman of the state examination commission for the training profile “Motorways” for many years. The small innovative enterprise OOO “SPbGASU-Dorservis” is successfully operating.

    The graduates were happy to see their home university and communicate with each other. The meeting began with a photo session on the balustrade and continued in the board of trustees’ meeting room, where the guests were greeted on behalf of the management by the Vice-Rector for Youth Policy Marina Malyutina. Marina Viktorovna spoke about the modern development vectors of SPbGASU. In order to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in young people, the university is implementing the Startup as a Diploma project. To increase practical orientation, it is planned to launch an elective next year, within the framework of which students will work on project tasks together with professionals. Marina Viktorovna noted that the university expects tasks for project-based learning from industry practitioners, and called on graduates to convey this information to enterprises.

    The guests viewed the exposition of the university history museum. LISI graduate Lyudmila Nikolaevna Yakovleva presented the museum with the newspaper “For Construction Personnel” from March 17, 1971. The conversation continued at the Automobile and Road Engineering Faculty.

    We asked graduates to tell us about their professional paths.

    “I consider myself a professionally accomplished person”

    In 1970, Nadezhda Fedosova entered the Leningrad Civil Engineering Institute, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Highways, to study in the specialty of “Motorways”. She completed her studies at the Faculty of Road Construction, which was created as a result of the reform of education. Five years of study alternated with industrial practices in Leningrad and trips to student construction teams. In 1972, the student summer was spent in a construction team in the Komi ASSR in the city of Mikun, on the route of the Siyanie Severa gas pipeline, and in 1973 – at the All-Union shock construction site of the Phosphorit nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer plant. During the time spent in student construction teams and during practice, we had to do all types of road work. In addition, everyone worked on clean-up days during the major repairs of the main building of the institute.

    After graduation, Nadezhda Vasilyevna worked at the Vsevolozhsk DRSU “Lenavtodor”, which she is very happy about, because there she received professional skills in both construction issues and road maintenance.

    Since 2001, Nadezhda Vasilyevna has been working at JSC VAD as an expert in design and estimate documentation and has been assisting students of SPbGASU who come for practical training in preparing their diploma theses. Nadezhda Fedosova has been awarded certificates of honor, the medal “In Memory of the 300th Anniversary of St. Petersburg”, and the title of “Honorary Road Builder of Russia”.

    “I am grateful to fate that I did not make a mistake in choosing my profession. I am proud of it, I consider myself a professionally accomplished person thanks to our teachers, whose lecture notes I looked at even after my studies,” said Nadezhda Vasilyevna.

    “The knowledge I gained at the institute helped me to realize myself as an engineer”

    Evgeny Medres entered LISI following in the footsteps of his older brother, who worked fruitfully at Lenavtodor and advised him to enter here. Evgeny Petrovich never regretted following this advice for a minute in his life. His student life was active: Evgeny Medres played in a basketball team and a musical ensemble. He remembered his work in construction teams: in 1972, at the construction of the Siyanie Severa gas pipeline, and in 1973, at the construction site of the Phosphorit nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer plant. After graduating from LISI, Evgeny Medres worked as a foreman in Construction Department No. 5 of the Lendorstroy trust. He was a foreman, site manager, and built street and road network facilities. From 1979 to 1993, he worked at the Leningrad branch of GiprodorNII. Since 1993 – First Deputy General Director and Chief Engineer of JSC Petersburg-Dorservice.

    Under his leadership, projects for the construction, reconstruction and major repairs of more than 700 transport infrastructure facilities in various regions of Russia were developed, including the St. Petersburg ring road, the M-11 “Neva” Moscow – St. Petersburg highway, and the Kurortny Prospekt understudy in Sochi. Evgeny Petrovich was awarded the titles of “Honored Worker of Transport of Russia”, “Honored Road Builder of Russia”, and was awarded the medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” of the 2nd degree.

    Together with SPbGASU, Evgeny Petrovich is actively involved in research work, is the chairman of the State Examination Commission in the direction of “Ground Transport and Technological Means”, and heads the basic department of the automobile and road faculty at JSC “Petersburg-Dorservis”. “The knowledge I received at the institute helped me realize myself as an engineer,” he is sure.

    “Loyalty to the cause”

    Aleksandr Petrov was involved in road cycling in his senior years. “I saw and felt the condition of the roads. I thought that studying at LISI on the “roads” was an opportunity to change the situation for the better. Our coach also graduated from LISI and supported my choice. There were about five of us cyclists who applied in 1970. We could have put together a full-fledged sports team, but I was the only one who got in,” Aleksandr Vasilyevich said.

    Alexander Vasilyevich remembered the following internships: geodetic at the base in Peterhof, hydrological in Daimishche, geological in the Sablinsky caves, as well as competition evenings of faculties, a construction team in Kingisepp at Phosphorite.

    After graduating from the institute, Aleksandr Petrov worked as a foreman at DSU-6 of the Lenavtodor association for the reconstruction and major repairs of highways, rising from a foreman to the director of the Russian-American enterprise. Then he worked at the Leningrad Region Road Committee, where he rose to the rank of department head. He was awarded the titles of Honorary Transport Worker and Honorary Road Builder of Russia.

    “I am proud of my classmates who, from their first working days until their well-deserved rest (but many continue to work!), dedicated themselves to the profession they received at LISI. Deep knowledge, an excellent faculty, and a kind attitude towards students instilled in us loyalty to the cause we dedicated ourselves to in our youth. Over 50 years in the road industry, we can trace the positive changes in this area that have occurred thanks to our activities and education,” noted Alexander Vasilyevich.

  • MIL-OSI: OwlTing Group Unveils AI-Powered OwlPay® Harbor™ for Stablecoin On/Off-Ramping

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ARLINGTON, Va., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OwlTing Group (the “Company”), a global blockchain fintech company, today announced an integration of AI features into its payment API infrastructure, OwlPay® Harbor™ (the “Platform”). This AI-driven technical support feature helps developers accelerate onboarding the Company’s API, which aims to provide secure on/off-ramping services to send, receive, and hold funds in U.S. dollars and USDC1 stablecoin for global payouts across over 100 countries2. With competitive fees and robust regulatory compliance coverage across over 30 U.S. states3, OwlPay® Harbor™ offers a trusted and scalable solution for businesses worldwide.

    The newly adapted Model Context Protocol (MCP)4 tool, similar to a “USB-C port for AI models,” provides a unified approach for AI to get the real-time context with smarter responses, interacting with a human developer. This AI feature simplifies the process to integrate the Company’s API, lowers the onboarding time and maintenance efforts, and more importantly, allows developers to leverage their existing AI models without sharing sensitive data with external systems.

    Global businesses such as banks, digital wallets, DeFi companies, or fintech providers that are seeking embedded crypto-to-fiat conversions will be able to offer their customers a seamless payment experience with their own products or platforms behind the scenes.

    “We’re excited to bring AI to our flagship payment platform,” said Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. “With our wide compliance footprint, AI-driven support, and flexible service models, OwlPay® Harbor™ offers global companies the legitimacy and efficiency of payments in the U.S. and beyond borders.”

It will also support Solana in the future.

    The platform offers extensive global reach and budget-friendly pricing tailored for all kinds of businesses. Holding over 30 Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) or their equivalent, adhering to strict KYC/AML standards, and securing ISO 27001 certification for its payment solution, OwlPay® Harbor™ stands ready to deliver with trust and reliability for global operations.

    Photo Caption: OwlPay® has obtained the ISO 27001 certification, underscoring its commitment to minimizing cyber risks and safeguarding users’ data.

    OwlPay® Harbor™ now offers two flexible service models:

    Partnership Model:

    • Designed for platforms like marketplaces or payment processors that collect funds from users for global payouts. Approved platforms manage funds and pay OwlPay® directly.
    • Supports USD payouts in supported regions globally. It also supports local payouts in 10 currencies: EUR (via SEPA), CAD, GBP, JPY, SGD, HKD, ZAR, AED, MXN, and BRL.
    • Use Case: An e-commerce platform collects USD from customers, converts it to USDC via OwlPay®, and pays retailers or freelancers in the Americas, hedging the currency fluctuations.

    End User Model:

    • Designed for other platforms wishing to avoid handling funds directly, with end users paying OwlPay® directly for implementing USD-USDC conversions.
    • Supports USD payouts in supported regions globally.
    • Use Case: An U.S. app allows users to buy USDC with USD via OwlPay® behind their own user interface, while its customers would enjoy an integrated customer journey.

    The stablecoin market has soared to a record $240 billion7 and is projected to reach $2 trillion by 20288. As demands for efficient digital payments surge, businesses integrating with the platform that combines seamless AI-driven APIs, regulatory compliance, and cross-chain compatibility for supported blockchains are positioned to be at the forefront of this thriving economy.

  • MIL-OSI: Live Coin Watch Exclusive: Bitcoin Solaris Announces Phase 5 Presale Ahead of Nova App Mining Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris, the next-generation decentralized blockchain built for mobile-first mining, has officially entered Presale Phase 5, pricing BTC-S tokens at 5 USDT. This announcement comes just ahead of the beginning of a selected group testing of Nova App Beta, a breakthrough mobile mining platform designed to allow users to earn tokens directly from their smartphones.

    Bitcoin Solaris is offering a fixed supply of 21 million tokens, with only 20% (4.2 million tokens) allocated to the entire presale. With no inflationary mechanics, the tokenomics are designed to reward early participation through a capped supply and verifiable, transparent distribution.

    Nova App: Mobile Mining for Everyone

    Scheduled to launch soon, the Nova App enables users to earn BTC-S by contributing idle storage and processing power on their smartphones. With no technical knowledge or staking required, the app automatically rewards users based on uptime and minimal hardware contribution—democratizing access to on-chain earnings and transforming smartphones into passive income nodes.

    High-Speed Infrastructure Designed for Scale

    Built on a dual-layer blockchain, Bitcoin Solaris supports 10,000+ TPS and delivers 2-second finality through its combination of Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Proof-of-Capacity (PoC), Proof-of-History (PoH), and Proof-of-Time (PoT). This scalable architecture ensures that mobile miners worldwide can participate without congestion, latency, or centralization risks.

    Fully Audited and Verified

    Bitcoin Solaris has completed multiple independent security audits. Cyberscope verified its smart contract code and emission logic, while Freshcoins audited its mobile mining performance. Full KYC verification adds a layer of governance transparency uncommon in early-stage blockchain projects.

    Strategic Entry Point Remains Open — But Not for Long

    Bitcoin Solaris is currently in Presale Phase 5, with BTC-S priced at 5 USDT. The token is projected to launch at 20 USDT, offering early buyers a potential 4X return. Of the total 21 million BTC-S supply, 4.2 million (20%) are allocated to the entire presale. There is no inflationary mechanism — once distributed, no additional tokens will be created.

    Presale participants not only secure tokens at a fixed price but gain early access to Nova App mining before user growth increases difficulty and dilutes returns. It’s a defined moment — structurally similar to Bitcoin under $100 — where participation is low, supply is accessible, and upside is still untapped.

    In a recent feature, Crypto Volt outlined how Bitcoin Solaris’s presale structure, mobile mining model, and supply cap recreate the early mechanics of Bitcoin itself. His breakdown shows why BTC-S is one of the few projects positioned to deliver protocol-scale wealth to individual users — not just funds and insiders.
