Hacksaw Replaces Christoffer Källberg

(AsiaGameHub) -   Hacksaw’s Board of Directors has decided to remove Group CEO Christoffer Källberg from his position. Ana Vrabic Verdir, a board member, will serve as the company’s interim CEO. Hacksaw Dismisses Christoffer Källberg  Per a statement, Hacksaw’s Board of Directors has concluded that a change in Group CEO is appropriate to better align with the Group’s strategic direction. The Board reaffirms that the company’s strategy remains unchanged and expresses confidence in its performance and future prospects.  Operations across all subsidiaries will continue as normal, and Hacksaw is still supported by a strong core team in Sweden. One of these operations is the company’s new investment division, Hacksaw Ventures, which the group unveiled last month. Following Verdir’s appointment as interim CEO by the Board, a comprehensive search for a permanent Group CEO was launched, conducted by a leading executive search firm. The process focuses on identifying a candidate with the experience and leadership capabilities needed to execute the Group’s long-term strategy. It should also be noted that during her tenure as Interim Group CEO, Verdir will not be considered independent of Hacksaw and its management, and she will step down from the company’s Remuneration Committee. Patrick Svensk, chairman of the Board of Directors, stated that he wishes to thank Källberg for successfully leading the company’s IPO on the large-cap list of Nasdaq Stockholm in June of the previous year. He also acknowledged Källberg’s valuable contributions to Hacksaw, which led to solid financial performance, and wished Källberg all the best for the future. Further Details on Hacksaw Hacksaw is a B2B technology platform and game development company. According to its official website, its scalable, modular platform—built on a modern codebase—supports the rapid creation and distribution of games. The company develops digital slots, scratch cards, and instant win titles.  Operating across the entire B2B iGaming value chain, from development to distribution, Hacksaw serves a customer base that includes some of the industry’s largest private and state-owned iGaming operators. The company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker HACK. As mentioned, Källberg played a key role in the company’s success, but it remains to be seen if his successor, or even interim CEO Verdir, can match this. In other Hacksaw news, the company recently brought back Merlin Masters Atlantis, a fan-beloved franchise, which now has a new installment. This article is provided by a third-party.

Datavault AI and CyberCatch Announce Signing of Binding Letter of Intent for Datavault AI to Acquire CyberCatch to Accelerate AI-Driven, Quantum-Resistant Cyber Risk Mitigation Solutions

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

AP Examines Gambling Addicts on Prediction Markets: They Report the Same Experience

(AsiaGameHub) -   Prediction markets often position themselves as superior alternatives to traditional sportsbooks. When questioned about regulatory oversight, these platforms typically maintain a consistent stance: they should be regulated by the CFTC because they function as financial instruments rather than sports betting venues. AP Digs into Prediction Markets and How Gambling Addicts Respond to Them However, an investigation by the Associated Press reveals a different perspective from those struggling with gambling addiction: they report experiencing the same psychological "high" whether they are "trading" on prediction platforms or "wagering" on sportsbooks. The AP consulted Dr. Cynthia Grant, VP of Clinical at Birches Health, who confirmed that professionals are observing the same “cycle of anticipation, action, and reaction” recurring among users. One individual, a soccer coach, shared that his gambling journey began at age 16. Lacking access to formal bookmakers, he and his peers initially bet against one another. Upon turning 18, he began frequenting casinos and sportsbooks, but after suffering significant financial losses, he eventually migrated to prediction markets. “I would be drowning in debt, receive a $2,000 paycheck on a Friday, and it would be completely gone by the weekend. I wouldn't even have enough money for gas,” the 21-year-old told the outlet. The man eventually sought help through Gamblers Anonymous, an organization that connects individuals struggling with gambling issues to the support and resources necessary to recover. Another case involved an accountant who became addicted to sports betting following its legalization in New York. He eventually transitioned to prediction markets, specifically trading on Kalshi. The accountant characterized prediction markets as “the same product, just rebranded.” “It’s a dangerous loophole. How can they operate like this and claim they aren't a sportsbook?” he questioned. While treatment professionals have not formally classified prediction markets in the same category as traditional sports betting—largely due to a lack of extensive research—the patterns are clear. Experts like Jody Bechtold, CEO of The Better Institute, note familiar behaviors such as chasing losses, dishonesty, and secrecy. In response to the AP, Kalshi spokesperson Elisabeth Diana emphasized the company’s commitment to responsible trading initiatives. More Evidence Needed to Gauge the Impact of Prediction Markets Diana defended Kalshi by comparing it to casinos, asserting that the platform is “more transparent, fairer, and less predatory.” Marlene Warner, CEO of the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, expressed uncertainty regarding how to categorize prediction markets. “Honestly, I don’t have enough information. There hasn't been enough study on them, so I cannot definitively say whether the risk level is higher, lower, or equivalent,” she stated, noting that while she is concerned, her position lacks a foundation in concrete research.

Hard Rock Digital Lands Licensing Rights from MLB Players, Inc

(AsiaGameHub) -   Hard Rock Digital has landed a pioneering partnership that grants it licensing rights for MLB players.  The multi-year agreement, struck with MLB Players Inc. and OneTeam Partners, will allow the company to utilize players' names, images and likenesses in its sports betting-focused advertising campaigns, which are designed to lift engagement and visibility for both the athletes themselves and the Hard Rock Digital brand.  Hard Rock Digital Obtains Licensing Rights to Utilize MLB Image and Likeness The partnership also covers the entire North American market, enabling Hard Rock Digital to quickly roll out these assets across both its digital and physical retail channels. The company will have permission to use the likenesses and visuals of athletes including Tarik Skubal, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Shohei Ohtani, among a wide roster of other players. The company may deploy these assets in whatever format it deems appropriate, with the goal of driving higher sports fan engagement through betting-focused activations. Speaking about the opportunity to collaborate with the well-known brand, MLB Players, Inc. president Evan Kaplan shared the following remarks: “Fans feel a personal connection to athletes. As sports betting continues to evolve, the user experience is shifting from a screen filled only with betting odds to something more familiar, more intuitive, and more closely tied to the game itself. This partnership with Hard Rock Digital ensures that this connection is genuine, properly licensed, and reflective of the value MLB players bring to the sport.” This agreement marks a key milestone for MLB Players, Inc, which was previously wrapped up in legal disputes with leading sportsbooks, including FanDuel, DraftKings, and bet365, over allegations that those operators had improperly used baseball athletes' imagery and likenesses without prior authorization. After a settlement was reached, the wider industry now appears to have collectively recognized the need to enter formal commercial partnerships to secure valid licensing rights.  A comparable case from the NCAA also drew widespread public attention. A federal court rejected the NCAA's request to immediately block sportsbooks from using "March Madness" branding, ruling that there was no urgent "irreparable harm" even in the case of potential trademark infringement. While the NCAA claims its intellectual property is being misused, the case remains active, with sportsbooks defending their use of the branding as necessary nominative fair use to identify the tournament.

Scott Kirby’s Gambling Past, Which Got Him Banned from 150 Casinos, Influences Airline Strategy

(AsiaGameHub) -   After years of being known for a peculiar backstory in aviation circles, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has now fully embraced it. This once-obscure detail about his past as a casino card counter now serves as a justification for his corporate leadership style. “I Don’t Actually Gamble” Kirby previously mentioned this experience in industry talks and a January 2026 Stratechery interview. Last week, he highlighted it again in the Wall Street Journal, where he confirmed he was banned from casinos globally after his blackjack play was flagged. Instead of moving on from his past, Kirby uses it to his benefit, allowing it to influence his business persona. “I don’t mind losing a hand,” he said, a philosophy that continues to guide his choices at United. Kirby describes his approach using concepts like probability and expected value, showing a readiness to take risks when the potential gain is worth it. He believes airline strategy is less about avoiding errors and more about making smarter long-term bets than rivals. “I don’t actually gamble,” he told the WSJ. “I do smart, expected-value things.” Learning Card Counting from “Blackjack for Blood” Kirby’s career included time in the U.S. Air Force, where he learned to count cards from Bryce Carlson’s book “Blackjack for Blood” while stationed at the Pentagon. He says these habits remain, even though he hasn't played blackjack in about fifteen years. During a 2024 Super Bowl trip to Las Vegas, Kirby visited the Bellagio’s high-limit poker room to open a line of credit. Upon checking his ID, staff immediately flagged him as a former card counter, noting he was welcome to play anything except blackjack. “It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve played,” he told the WSJ. “But I’m in the database.” Kirby uses the story to explain his leadership style. Since becoming CEO in 2020, he has focused on fleet investment, premium upgrades, and long-term positioning against competitors. United has moved toward larger planes, improved onboard features, and expanded connectivity. Internally, United aims to build a network and product that competes directly with the industry's strongest players. Kirby sees no difference between this strategy and his blackjack experience. He appears comfortable with this unusual comparison being part of his public identity. This article is provided by a third-party.

“Not a Sportsbook”, Yet…Kalshi Ranks Among Top U.S. Sportsbooks

(AsiaGameHub) -   While Kalshi still doesn’t classify itself as a sports betting company, the discussion around this issue persists. New March data from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming (EKG) reveals that the prediction market platform is now competing with some of the biggest names in U.S. online betting—adding further fuel to the ongoing debate. According to the boutique research firm, Kalshi ranked as the fourth-largest U.S. sportsbook on an adjusted handle-per-adult basis last month, with only DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics ahead of it. The prediction market outperformed well-established sportsbooks like BetMGM, Bet365, and Caesars Sportsbook, once again highlighting the peak period for prediction markets during the NCAA Tournament, where activity on yes/no contracts typically surges. Context Is Important EKG’s data also showed that the platform moved up five positions year over year. However, these numbers come with crucial context: EKG does not use traditional sports betting handle metrics, instead applying a model called handle-analog that tracks changes in open interest, execution pricing, and activity patterns across millions of markets. This makes the comparison distinct from standard sportsbook reporting. There’s also the factor of partner-driven activity, as EKG notes Kalshi’s figures include trading volume flowing through partners like Robinhood Markets and Coinbase Global. In other words, some users access event contracts via those platforms rather than directly on Kalshi itself. “Kalshi, Crypto.com, and Polymarket U.S. adjusted handle-per-adult figures reflect both organic activity and partner-driven volume and are therefore not strictly comparable to standalone OSB operators,” EKG stated. Prediction Markets Attract Specific Users Nonetheless, prediction markets are clearly gaining traction in the U.S. sports ecosystem. Much of the trading volume on these platforms is tied to sports outcomes, even if companies avoid framing it that way. Industry research also suggests these platforms are attracting a specific type of user: some sharp bettors who were limited or restricted by traditional sportsbooks have shifted to prediction markets. At the same time, recreational users still tend to prefer mainstream sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel when both options are available. EKG estimates that U.S. sports prediction markets reached about $2 billion in monthly handle in March 2026, representing roughly 11% of combined U.S. sportsbook and prediction market activity.For the full year, the firm projects this figure could rise to $34 billion.

美国向以色列运送大量弹药和装备

(SeaPRwire) -   以色列国防部长卡茨(Israel Katz)警告称,西耶路撒冷必须做好在必要时恢复对伊朗袭击的准备。 西耶路撒冷方面表示,美国已在24小时内向以色列运送了6500吨弹药和装备。 此次宣布恰逢媒体报道称,美国中央司令部(US Central Command)负责人布拉德·库珀(Brad Cooper)已向美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)简要介绍了针对伊朗恢复军事行动的潜在计划,旨在施压伊朗以达成更有利的和平协议。 据Fox News报道,库珀所描述的针对德黑兰的“最后一击”可能包括“一波短暂而强有力的打击”,目标是伊朗“剩余的军事资产、领导层和基础设施”。 美以针对伊朗战争的停火协议于4月8日宣布,此前双方已交战一个多月,但华盛顿和德黑兰为达成外交解决方案所做的努力迄今为止均告失败。据报道,霍尔木兹海峡的控制权和伊朗核计划仍然是双方之间的主要症结所在。 以色列国防部周四在一份声明中表示,两艘货船已停靠在阿什杜德(Ashdod)和海法(Haifa)港口,运载了数千枚空对地弹药、军用卡车、联合轻型战术车(JLTVs)及其他军事装备。 声明称,这些装备已被装载到数百辆卡车上,并运往以色列国防军(IDF)在全国各地的基地。 根据国防部的数据,自2月28日美以对伊朗的袭击开始以来,以色列已通过403次空运和10次海运,接收了超过115,600吨的军事装备。 Semafor在3月中旬援引美国官员的话报道称,以色列曾告知美国,在德黑兰的报复性打击下,其防空拦截弹已“严重不足”。以色列国防军(IDF)否认了这一说法。 以色列国防部长卡茨(Israel Katz)周四表示,西耶路撒冷支持华盛顿的外交努力,但警告称,为了确保伊朗“不再成为威胁”,以色列“可能很快需要再次采取行动”打击伊朗。 伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)航空航天部队指挥官、准将赛义德·马吉德·穆萨维(Seyyed Majid Mousavi)同日表示,如果再次遭到袭击,德黑兰将以“痛苦、持久且影响深远的打击”进行回应。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow

Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

Senate Bans Members and Staff from Participating in Prediction Markets

(AsiaGameHub) -   The US Senate has taken steps to strengthen ethical guidelines by banning its members and staff from participating in prediction markets, an expanding industry where individuals bet on the results of real-world occurrences. This policy is effective immediately and addresses growing anxieties in Washington regarding the potential exploitation of non-public information. Senate Unanimously Votes to Mitigate Insider Risks in Prediction Markets Senator Bernie Moreno spearheaded the effort, asserting that public servants should refrain from speculative financial activities during their tenure. Alex Padilla subsequently broadened the scope of the policy via an amendment that applies the ban to Senate staffers as well, according to the Associated Press. The measure received bipartisan backing. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer characterized the move as a logical and essential protection, cautioning that permitting legislators to wager on sensitive topics like elections or military engagements could erode confidence in government bodies. He further urged other government branches to implement comparable prohibitions. This action follows increased oversight of platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, which enable users to trade contracts based on political results, economic data, and geopolitical events. Detractors have expressed concerns regarding the potential for insider trading, given that participants might possess access to confidential information. Military Incident Fuels Demands for Stricter Market Regulations Recent events have intensified these worries. A US special forces member faced charges for utilizing classified data to place wagers concerning the apprehension of Nicolás Maduro, resulting in significant financial gain. In a separate instance, a platform penalized political candidates for betting on their own election bids. Senators Todd Young and Elissa Slotkin have advocated for more extensive measures, introducing legislation that would prohibit all federal employees and officials from leveraging insider information within prediction markets. They described the Senate’s recent decision as a preliminary move toward more thorough regulation. The White House has also released internal directives warning personnel against utilizing sensitive information in such markets. Meanwhile, the sector continues to expand, with some political figures retaining connections to these platforms. For instance, Donald Trump Jr. acts as an advisor to prominent entities in the industry. Despite regulatory apprehension, prediction market operators have expressed support for the Senate’s move, noting that it could bolster the sector's legitimacy and reliability. Nevertheless, the wider discussion regarding the appropriate regulation of these platforms, particularly where they overlap with governance and national security, remains ongoing.

Casino Cheating Case Concludes With Time Served Sentence

(AsiaGameHub) -   A man accused of manipulating slot machines at Northern Quest Resort & Casino has received a sentence after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors, concluding a distinctive gambling-related case. Court Accepts Plea Deal in Casino Machine Manipulation Case The defendant, 33-year-old Jeremiah Villegas, pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including a misdemeanor for unlawful gambling practices and a felony burglary offense. The latter charge arose from his repeated presence at the casino despite a long-term ban from the property, as reported by The Spokesman-Review. The decision was made at the Spokane County Superior Court, where the judge approved the agreement reached between the defense and prosecution. As part of the ruling, Villegas was credited with three weeks already served in custody, which fulfilled his sentence. During the court proceedings, his attorney stated that her client acknowledged his actions and chose not to dispute the charges. Villegas himself opted not to speak to the court. Investigators alleged that over several days, Villegas entered the casino and targeted coin-operated machines. Surveillance footage captured him inserting money into the machines and then applying pressure to their sides while concealing his hands. Authorities suspected he used a small vibrating device to affect the machines’ internal mechanisms, causing coins to be dispensed and triggering bonus features. However, officials noted that no such device was found during the investigation. Multiple Charges Dropped in Unusual Casino Fraud Case The case garnered attention not only for the method employed but also for its uncommon nature. Legal professionals involved indicated that prosecutions for cheating in gambling activities are infrequent in the area. Records from the local prosecutor’s office show that only a few similar cases have been handled in recent years. Villegas initially faced a greater number of charges, including multiple counts related to alleged cheating and unlawful entry. These were subsequently combined as part of the plea agreement, leading to a reduction in his potential penalties. His eligibility for a first-time offender program also played a role in the outcome, allowing the court to impose a lesser sentence than would typically be required for the burglary offense. Villegas has had other legal entanglements. Authorities apprehended him again, accusing him of violating the conditions of his release in this case. In addition to the current sentencing, Villegas also resolved a separate theft-related case, with both penalties being served concurrently. This article is provided by a third-party.

6 Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Credit Card That Matches Your Lifestyle

SINGAPORE, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing from the many Credit Cards available in Singapore can feel overwhelming, especially when each option highlights different rewards, fees, and benefits. A card that aligns with your lifestyle can help you manage expenses better while offering value through rewards, convenience, and flexibility. Whether your spending leans towards dining, travel, shopping, or daily essentials, understanding a few key factors can help narrow down choices that match how you live and spend.Here are some important factors that can help you evaluate Credit Cards based on real lifestyle needs rather than just promotional offers.1. Understand your monthly spending patternsBefore comparing Credit Cards, it can help to look closely at where your money usually goes each month. Some Singaporeans may opt to spend on dining and food delivery, while others may prioritise groceries, transport, or online shopping. Identifying these patterns can help you shortlist Credit Cards that reward the categories you use most often. This approach can make rewards feel more relevant, rather than spread across benefits you rarely use.2. Evaluate rewards structure and earning ratesCredit Cards offer rewards in different forms, such as cashback, reward points, or air miles, and each structure suits different spending habits. Cashback Cards may appeal to those who prefer straightforward savings, such as earning rebates on eligible categories, often capped at a monthly limit. Rewards or miles cards may suit frequent travellers or shoppers who enjoy redeeming points later.It's also worth checking the base earn rate, which is what you earn on regular spending, and the bonus earn rates offered for certain categories like dining, travel, or online shopping. Many cards also set bonus caps, meaning the higher rewards only apply up to a certain amount of spending each month. Understanding these details can help you see how much you can realistically earn based on your usual spending.3. Consider annual fees versus actual benefitsAnnual fees for Credit Cards in Singapore can range from around SGD 150 to over SGD 500. Some premium cards offer perks such as lounge access, dining privileges, or travel insurance. However, these additional benefits provide better value if you use them often enough to offset the higher fee. Many cards also provide fee waivers for the first year, which can help users test whether the card fits their lifestyle. Comparing the annual fee against how realistically you will use the perks can help determine whether the overall value feels balanced for your spending habits.4. Assess eligibility and income requirementsIn Singapore, most Credit Cards have minimum annual income requirements, usually starting from SGD 30,000 for citizens and permanent residents, and higher for foreigners. Premium cards may require annual incomes of SGD 120,000 or more. Understanding eligibility early can help avoid unnecessary applications and credit checks. Choosing a card aligned with your income range can also help ensure smoother approval and manageable credit limits that fit comfortably within your financial situation.5. Review interest rates and repayment flexibilityWhile Credit Cards can offer convenience and rewards, interest rates in Singapore often range between 25% and 28% per annum if balances are not paid in full. Some cards offer repayment features, such as instalment plans that split larger purchases into smaller monthly payments, or balance transfer options that can help consolidate existing credit card outstanding balances at a lower interest rate for a promotional period. Looking at repayment features, interest calculations, and payment flexibility can help support responsible usage, especially during months with higher expenses or unexpected costs.6. Check overseas usage and foreign currency feesFor those who travel or shop internationally, foreign currency transaction fees are an important consideration. Most Credit Cards in Singapore charge around 3.25% on overseas transactions. Some travel-focused cards may offer lower fees or even 0% FX fees on eligible transactions, while others may provide higher miles earn rates for foreign spend. Evaluating how often international spending occurs can help decide whether such features can add value or if a general-purpose card works just as well.Final thoughtsChoosing the right Credit Card is less about chasing the biggest offer and more about finding a match for your lifestyle and spending habits. By considering rewards, fees, perks, and usability through a practical lens, Credit Cards can become a supportive financial tool rather than a confusing product. Taking time to compare options thoughtfully can help ensure the card you select continues to add value as your lifestyle evolves.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow

MOSCOW, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 2nd Open Dialogue "The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth" took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts.According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet."Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries," the honorary guest of the event stated.According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty.The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: "Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries' markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together."Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life.At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: "Investing in People," "Investing in Connectivity," "Investing in Technology," and "Investing in the Environment."The winner in the "Investing in Technology" track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space.Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the "Investing in Connectivity" track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control.In the "Investing in the Environment" track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country's real wealth.The winner of the "Investing in People" track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia.

ULVAC Establishes Japan-Based Production for Rare-Earth Magnet Vacuum Melting Furnaces

Chigasaki, Japan, May 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ULVAC, Inc. anticipates that orders for its continuous vacuum melting furnaces dedicated to rare-earth magnets will approximately triple year on year, driven primarily by magnet manufacturers in Europe and North America. In response to this growth in orders, ULVAC has decided to establish a new production system for these furnaces in Japan. By adding a production site in Japan to its existing facility in China, ULVAC will build a dual-site supply structure, providing customers with diversified supply options.Continuous vacuum melting furnace for rare-earth magnetsBackgroundRare-earth magnets are essential core components used in advanced equipment across a wide range of industries, including electric vehicles, wind power generation, HVAC systems, data centers, and space applications. While global demand is expected to continue expanding, driven by decarbonization and the proliferation of AI, near-shoring—the relocation of production closer to end markets—is accelerating, particularly in Europe and North America, as global supply chains remain heavily dependent on China.ULVAC has long manufactured rare-earth magnet vacuum melting furnaces through its Chinese subsidiary, providing dedicated service to the market for many years. This facility will continue to serve as a key production site for stable supply to customers in the Chinese market. Meanwhile, growing demand from new magnet manufacturers, primarily in Europe and North America, has increased calls for a geographically diversified supply structure. To ensure stable equipment supply in response to this expanding global demand, ULVAC has decided to establish a new production system in Japan.Overview of Japan-Based ProductionItemDetailsTarget ProductContinuous Vacuum Melting FurnaceJapan-Based Production CapacityUp to 12 units per yearStart of OperationsSeptember 2026 (planned)Start of ShipmentsShipments to commence sequentially ULVAC's StrengthsSince its founding in 1952, ULVAC has been developing Japan-produced vacuum melting and deposition equipment, accumulating approximately 70 years of technological expertise. The Company is one of the few equipment manufacturers in the world offering a comprehensive lineup covering the key vacuum processes in rare-earth magnet manufacturing, including melting, sintering, and aging. ULVAC holds a market share exceeding 70%* in each of its continuous furnace product lines for these major processes. The continuous vacuum melting furnace, for which the Japan-based production system is being established, handles the melting and casting process—the starting point of magnet material production. The alloy microstructure formed at this stage has a decisive impact on final magnet performance. With a cumulative delivery record of over 400 units, ULVAC's advanced production engineering capabilities essential to the magnet manufacturing process have been highly regarded by leading global magnet manufacturers over many years.*Based on our researchFuture OutlookAs new entrants continue to emerge in the rare-earth magnet market, customer needs are shifting beyond standalone equipment supply toward comprehensive mass-production line start-up support. ULVAC will further strengthen the stable supply of its manufacturing equipment for rare-earth magnets, including vacuum melting furnaces.Simultaneously, ULVAC will expand its scope to provide total optimization of mass-production lines, aiming to become an integrated engineering company specializing in magnet production technologies.About ULVAC, Inc.Since its founding in 1952, ULVAC, Inc. has been a comprehensive vacuum equipment manufacturer, providing manufacturing equipment, components, analytical instruments, materials, and services based on its core vacuum technology. Working with customers across a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, electronic components, displays, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, ULVAC is committed to driving cutting-edge innovation and creating new value. https://www.ulvac.co.jp/en/For more information:ULVAC, Inc.
