The foiling of the Michigan Halloween plot is a sobering story. It's a case that shows how online radicalization remains a persistent threat, allowing extremist ideologies to inspire people to plan devastating acts of violence from their own homes. The investigation itself is a blueprint of modern counter-terrorism: a painstaking process of monitoring digital chats, conducting real-world surveillance, and coordinating across multiple agencies to dismantle a threat piece by piece.

Amazing AI Plc (AQSE:AAI) CEO and founder Paul Mathieson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's unique approach to digital asset investment and its dual business model rooted in US consumer lending. Mathieson explained that Amazing AI continues to operate a licensed lending business across six US states. The company has expanded its model by launching a digital asset treasury strategy that uses advanced options trading. Rather than directly purchasing Bitcoin, the company uses call and put options to gain leveraged exposure—up to 100 times—to a basket of digital assets including Ethereum, XRP, Solana and potentially gold-linked and AI-based tokens like Tal. “We're not just reliant on the performance of Bitcoin. We have a strategy that makes money if it goes down or up,” Mathieson said. He described Amazing AI's strategy as “Treasury 3.0”, which focuses on diversification and institutional-level trading mechanics, contrasting with other companies that simply buy and hold crypto. The company is also looking to acquire undervalued treasury businesses that can no longer meet new stock exchange rules, integrating those assets into its balanced model of lending and digital asset trading. Mathieson added that Amazing AI would deploy capital over the next two months using a dollar-cost averaging approach to take advantage of current market conditions.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest agreement with BCM International and its impact on gold exploration projects in Cameroon. The agreement secures $900,000 in cash and a further $300,000 in direct drilling expenditure, providing full funding for a 2,950-metre maiden drilling program at the MB01-N target. Rosser said the deal was “a clear validation of our exploration strategy in Cameroon” and underlined BCM's continued confidence in the Bibemi and Mbe projects. Rosser described the partnership with BCM as one based on shared commitment and technical expertise, highlighting that BCM's operational and financial support allows Oriole to progress drilling and metallurgical work without shareholder dilution. The MB01-N program, expected to commence in December, aims to convert an exploration target of 370,000 to 605,000 ounces of gold into a maiden JORC-compliant resource. This follows a previously reported 870,000-ounce JORC Inferred resource at nearby MB01-S, which Rosser described as “a transformational step” for the company. Looking ahead, Oriole will continue preparatory work at MB01-N, conduct metallurgical testing at Bibemi, and advance its exploitation licence application in Cameroon.

Bluefield Partners' managing partner James Armstrong talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the decision to initiate a strategic review and formal sale process for the Bluefield Solar Income Fund (LSE:BSIF). Armstrong explained the move follows extended consultation with shareholders and stems from Bluefield Solar's continued share price discount to net asset value (NAV), which has persisted for over three years. Despite the fund's strong performance since its IPO, the board concluded that "doing nothing is not an option", citing the lack of a clear market catalyst for a re-rating. He noted the aim is to assess how to best unlock shareholder value and improve liquidity through potential sale routes or other strategic alternatives. “It is about trying to work out how do we maximise shareholder value for the shareholders in what is a persistent, persistently difficult market,” Armstrong said. He also outlined key attractions for potential buyers, including Bluefield's high-quality UK operational portfolio, a large development pipeline, and the possibility of rolling in the wider Bluefield platform into any deal. This integrated offering, Armstrong explained, may appeal to capital sources beyond traditional asset buyers. As the formal process progresses, Armstrong confirmed that financial advisers would lead market communications, with regular updates expected for shareholders.

Kodal Minerals PLC's (AIM:KOD) CEO Bernard Aylward talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the officiall opening of the Bougouni Lithium Project by Mali's president, General Assimi Goïta. Aylward confirmed that Kodal is now transporting its first spodumene concentrate, with around 10,000 tonnes already at port and a first shipment of 30,000 tonnes expected by late November or early December. He noted that the company will receive 95% of the cargo value once it is loaded, putting first revenues on track for early December. He described the visit President Goïta and other dignitaries as a moment of pride. "It was a great reception by the community and our team, very justifiably proud with what we've done in Mali,” he said. Looking ahead, Kodal has several development plans, including further drilling at Boumou and Sogola-Baoulé, and completing a Phase 2 study for a flotation plant. Aylward emphasized that the Bougouni project has a projected life of more than 15 years. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more company interviews and updates.

Cindrigo Holdings Ltd (LSE:CINH) CEO Lars Guldstrand talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's debut on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market and its strategy to grow within the European clean energy space. Cindrigo's core business is focused on delivering clean baseload energy, particularly through geothermal and waste-to-energy projects. Guldstrand explained that the company's main assets are based in Finland and Germany, and said Cindrigo is now entering an important growth phase. “We have today a very solid operating platform in Finland ready to go in operation and the projects in Germany,” Guldstrand stated. He said the London listing would support Cindrigo's future expansion by boosting its credibility and ability to raise capital. Guldstrand pointed to two key operational milestones over the next 12 to 18 months: the start-up of the waste-to-energy facility in Finland, and securing funding, followed by drilling for the geothermal project in Germany. While the company's primary strategy is focused on organic development, Guldstrand said partnerships could play a role, particularly with new projects. He highlighted that the biggest risks include potential delays in the Finland plant start-up and unsatisfactory drilling results in Germany, although he noted the strong government support available. Cindrigo is positioning itself to meet growing demand for baseload clean energy across Europe, with Guldstrand citing the company's strong asset base, experienced team and board, and favourable market conditions.

Alvopetro Energy Ltd (TSX-V:ALV, OTC:ALVOF) CEO Corey Ruttan talked with Proactive about the company's third-quarter production results, new well performance, and expansion plans across Brazil and Canada. Ruttan highlighted that the company achieved an average production of 2,343 barrels of oil equivalent per day. October marked a record high of over 2,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day, driven by strong output from the 183-D4 well at the Murucututu project in Brazil. Ruttan explained that the 183-D4 well, drilled higher on the structure, produced nearly 1,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day over its first 30 days, almost double pre-drill expectations. He said: "We completed the well using some leading-edge North American completion technologies that were brought to bear for the first time ever in Brazil." This success supported an amendment to Alvopetro's long-term gas sales agreement with Bahiagas, increasing delivery obligations and driving strong financial performance. The company continues to benefit from high realized natural gas prices, exceeding US$11 per MCF in Q3. Ruttan also spoke about Alvopetro's strategic entry into Canada's Mannville Stack heavy oil play. He said the move complements the Brazilian operations, offering a low-cost, scalable development opportunity with over 74 square miles of prospective land and multi-lateral drilling potential. Discussing capital allocation, Ruttan confirmed that Alvopetro aims to maintain a 50/50 balance between shareholder returns and reinvestment, with dividends supported by strong cash flow.

Argentina Lithium & Energy Corp (TSX-V:LIT, OTCQX:LILIF) CEO Niko Cacos talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's shift from exploration to development at its Rincon West lithium project in Argentina. Cacos highlighted that the company has already announced its maiden resource estimate, marking a significant milestone. He explained that Argentina Lithium is now focused on selecting a direct lithium extraction (DLE) partner, with pilot testing to follow. "We've examined a whole plethora of them, and now we've narrowed this choice down to just a very few," he said. Work is also ongoing on environmental baseline studies and preliminary engineering. Cacos confirmed that financing discussions are underway to support the project through to the feasibility stage. He expressed full confidence in the choice of DLE technology, noting its economic and environmental advantages, particularly given that neighbouring lithium operations - such as Rio Tinto's nearby $6 billion project - are using the same method. Cacos also discussed the significance of the partnership with Stellantis, stating that the automotive company has been actively supporting Argentina Lithium's progress and financing efforts. "They have a strong belief in the quality of the projects that we have," he said. The company is targeting a preliminary economic assessment in early 2026, with key steps ahead being DLE selection and securing funding.

Europa Metals Ltd (AIM:EUZ, JSE:EUZ) executive chairman and acting CEO Myles Campion talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's planned reverse takeover (RTO) deal with Marula Africa. The transaction is set to give Europa access to a portfolio of producing and near-producing critical minerals projects across Africa, including copper, lithium, tantalum and manganese assets. Campion described the deal as “transformative” and noted that the company had been actively seeking near-term cashflow opportunities. He highlighted the Kinusi copper mine in Tanzania, which is already in production and yielding high-grade direct shipping ore (DSO), with grades of 20-30% copper. He also pointed to the Blesberg lithium-tantalum mine in South Africa, which holds a 250,000-tonne surface stockpile grading up to 6% lithium. A processing plant is already in place. Additionally, the Kilifi manganese asset in Kenya is expected to operate as both a processing hub and a producing asset. Europa intends to return capital to shareholders following the recent $3.2 million sale of its Spanish asset. The AGM, scheduled before year-end, will define the initial capital distribution. Campion said: “So it is pretty transformative… We'll come out the other side as a completely different company, with some very good cash flows coming through.” Looking ahead, the company is preparing for due diligence, technical reports and regulatory steps to progress the RTO. It is also exploring a rare earths opportunity as part of the agreement with Marula.

Arizona Gold & Silver Inc (TSX-V:AZS, OTCQB:AZASF) CEO Mike Stark talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest drill results at the company's Philadelphia project. The company intersected over 34 metres of the Perry vein in its latest drill hole, continuing to demonstrate strong continuity and potential for high-grade mineralisation. Stark said, “We have a very solid vein with what appears to be some very nice high grade, very much similar to 156.” He explained that while final assays from hole PC25-157 are still pending, early visual indicators such as colour and texture are promising. The new results follow a previous intersection of 38 metres, and Stark noted the consistency between these recent holes is encouraging. Plans are now in place to continue drilling through holes PC25-158 and PC25-159 up to the end of the year. Looking ahead, the company expects to receive a key permit in January that would allow them to drill down dip on hole 156. Stark said this could be significant, adding that geologist Greg Hahn believes the vein may extend at least another 1,000 feet. This update signals a potentially expanding system, with Stark calling it “extremely exciting for shareholders.” #ArizonaGold #SilverMining #GoldExploration #JuniorMining #DrillResults #PhiladelphiaProject #MiningStocks #PreciousMetals #ResourceExploration #TSXV

Jeremy Salt, CEO of The Vaccine Group (TVG), a Frontier IP Group PLC (AIM:FIPP) portfolio company, talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent vaccine trial results targeting Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV). Salt highlighted that BRSV is a major cause of bovine respiratory disease, responsible for annual losses of approximately £54 million in the UK alone, and nearly £6 billion globally. "This is a critical disease," Salt said, referencing data from the Pirbright Institute. The trials, conducted with the Animal and Plant Health Agency in the UK, involved vaccinating calves and subsequently exposing them to high levels of the virus under controlled conditions. The study assessed clinical outcomes, virus shedding, and lung pathology, using a well-recognised industry model. Salt emphasized that the company's new vaccine offers advantages over existing options. Traditional vaccines, especially live or inactivated ones, have struggled due to maternal immunity interference and administration challenges. However, The Vaccine Group's injectable candidate bypasses these issues by using a viral vector that avoids neutralisation by maternal antibodies, without the practical drawbacks of intranasal delivery. The company is now exploring licensing deals and commercial development opportunities, with Salt noting that additional funding could enable internal development through contract manufacturers.

Magna Terra Minerals (CVE:MTT) President and CEO Lew Lawrick talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about recent developments across the company's project portfolio. Lawrick detailed significant progress at the Humber Copper-Cobalt Project in Newfoundland, where surface sampling returned grades of up to 5% copper. The surface copper zone now extends over 2.2 kilometres, underpinned by a completed VTEM airborne survey revealing multiple conductive targets. “We've extended that surface copper zone now over two kilometres,” Lawrick said, describing it as a “very exciting” early-stage discovery. Turning to New Brunswick, Rocky Brook has been the focus of data-driven exploration. Magna Terra used AI tools to process years of historic data, identifying high-priority VMS targets. Follow-up fieldwork, including geochemical sampling and trenching, is underway with results expected later in the year. Lawrick also discussed the company's partnership strategy. In Argentina, Luna Roja is being advanced by Andean Metals, while Great Northern in Canada is being developed by Gold Hunter. Magna Terra expects to receive almost $5 million in cash and securities from that option deal by mid-2026. The company continues to review additional partnership opportunities, maintaining a tight capital structure while expanding project exposure.

Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd CEO of Investments Robby Yung talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's proposed reverse merger with Currenc Group Inc. (Nasdaq:CURR), which would lead to a listing on the Nasdaq. Yung explained the strategic reasoning behind the move, citing improving regulatory clarity in the United States as a major factor. “We see a huge opportunity to lean into that regulatory clarity and pursue a listing in the US,” he said, referencing developments like the Genius Act and clearer frameworks around stablecoins and tokenisation. Animoca shareholders are expected to own around 95% of the combined company post-merger, and Yung noted this may unlock value for long-standing investors. He highlighted that US capital markets are deeper and more liquid, offering stronger access to capital compared to Australia. Yung also spoke about Animoca's large digital asset portfolio and its focus on real world asset (RWA) tokenisation. He mentioned joint ventures such as Nuva on the Providence blockchain and projects tied to home equity loans in the US, as well as partnerships with entities like Standard Chartered. In addition, Yung highlighted upcoming growth areas including AI and Web3 gaming. He said, “Web3 is really the way to unlock some of that value,” referring to a potential resurgence in gaming tokenisation. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more company insights.

Ocean Power Technologies CEO Philipp Stratmann joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company has been officially certified by the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) as a Trusted Uncrewed Maritime Systems Operator Training Provider — marking a key milestone in the formalization and professionalization of uncrewed surface vehicle operations. With this designation, OPT joins a select group of organizations authorized to deliver AUVSI-aligned operator training under the nation's first industry-led standards framework for uncrewed maritime systems. The programs are designed to serve government, defense, commercial, and academic customers seeking proficiency certification for uncrewed surface vehicle operations. Stratmann explained that training will leverage OPT's proprietary WAM-V® or Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel platform, valued for its versatility, stability, and adaptability across diverse mission requirements and sea conditions. Courses — which generate a new recurring revenue stream — will be provided at both OPT's Pacific and Atlantic coastal facilities, as well as directly at customer locations. The AUVSI Trusted UMS Operator Program establishes a unified benchmark for operational competency, ethics, and safety, advancing workforce development and aligning operators with evolving regulatory and security standards across the maritime autonomy sector. Stratmann says becoming a certified training provider enhances U.S. preparedness and supports the rapid growth of defense and commercial applications for uncrewed maritime technologies. #proactiveinvestors #oceanpowertechnologiesinc #nyseamerican #optt #PhillipStratmann, #USGovernmentContract, #OffshoreAutonomy, #MaritimeSecurity, #CommercialPlatforms, #GrowthStrategy, #BuoyBusiness, #VehicleBusiness, #InternationalExpansion, #ReadyToDeploy #AutonomousVehicles #MaritimeTech #CleanEnergySolutions #AUVSI #SustainableTechnology #MarineInnovation #EnergyEfficiency #UncrewedSystems #GlobalExpansion

Santhera Pharmaceuticals chief medical officer Dr Shabir Hasham talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress in launching AGAMREE, a dissociative corticosteroid for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Santhera is a Swiss specialty pharmaceutical company focused on treatments for pediatric rare diseases. Its lead product, AGAMREE, aims to offer comparable efficacy to traditional corticosteroids while reducing the debilitating side effects often associated with long-term steroid use in DMD patients. Hasham noted that current treatments are frequently discontinued or reduced after a few years due to growth stunting, weight gain, and other complications. “Our drug AGAMREE is a corticosteroid, but we've been able to modify the structure of it… we offer the same efficacy… but we are able to avoid many of the debilitating side effects,” said Hasham. The treatment has already launched in Germany, Austria, and the UK, with further European rollouts expected in the coming months. Commercialisation in the US is underway via a partnership with Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, and entry into China has begun through Spirit Genetics. New long-term data from the Guardian study shows patients treated for up to eight years exhibited no growth stunting and significantly fewer fractures. Hasham said the data may encourage wider use in countries where steroid uptake has been low and added, “This will make a very positive impact in terms of our ability to roll the drug out.” For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Hive Digital Technologies Executive Chairman Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone amid what he describes as the accelerating AI super cycle: the company has now reached 23 exahash per second (EH/s) in global Bitcoin-mining capacity, representing 283% year-to-date growth and positioning HIVE among the sector's performance leaders in 2025. Holmes also shared that HIVE has finalized the acquisition of 32.5 additional acres in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, adjacent to its current operations. The expanded site is being developed as a cornerstone Tier III+ high-performance computing (HPC) campus capable of supporting more than 25,000 next-generation GPUs. Powered by renewable energy, the location is strategically aligned with the accelerating demand for hyperscale-ready infrastructure to support global AI deployment. HIVE is rapidly advancing its Tier III+ HPC roadmap across multiple regions. In Boden, Sweden, the company is converting an existing Tier I facility into a liquid-cooled data center that will be able to support 2,000 high-performance GPUs for European AI workloads, targeting a 9-to-12-month deployment timeline — significantly faster than a full greenfield data-center build. In Toronto, the BUZZ data-center acquisition is expected to bring 2,000 GPUs online in 2026, while a new Bell colocation partnership is set to add another 2,000 GPUs over the next nine months. By the end of 2026, HIVE anticipates operating 6,000 next-generation GPUs across these new facilities, complementing its existing fleet of 5,000 GPUs already in operation. With the planned mining-to-HPC conversion at Grand Falls — projected to achieve a power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3 — the site alone could host an additional 25,000 GPUs, giving the company long-term capacity for approximately 36,000 high-performance GPUs globally. Holmes emphasized that HIVE's strategy is built for the moment: in the AI super cycle, HPC infrastructure is not optional — it is the essential engine driving innovation. #proactiveinvestors #hivedigitaltechnologieslet #tsxv #hive #nasdaq #hive #CryptoMining #GreenEnergy #BuzzHPC #AIInfrastructure #NvidiaH200 #QuebecDataCenter #SustainableTech #GPUCluster #TorontoTech #AITraining #HiveDigital #LiquidCooling #Supercomputing #GreenEnergyAI #Exahash #HighPerformanceComputing

Moon Inc CEO John Riggins joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to outline the company's rapid expansion into the U.S. and broader Asia-Pacific region, alongside meaningful adoption of Bitcoin-focused financial products. Moon Inc., a Hong Kong–based telecommunications provider with more than 30 years of operating history, is transforming its business model by integrating cryptocurrency solutions into its established SIM card and mobile top-up distribution network. Riggins detailed the company's recent advancements — including the rollout of a prepaid Bitcoin card that doubles as a physical cold-storage wallet, enabling secure Bitcoin ownership without complicated setup. The product is positioned for both personal use and gifting, with demand growing among first-time crypto adopters. In support of this strategy, Moon Inc. has continued to increase its Bitcoin holdings as a long-term balance-sheet asset. “We acquired more Bitcoin this past Friday,” Riggins shared, emphasizing management's conviction that owning the digital asset aligns with the company's future-forward positioning. The company is also accelerating geographic expansion, broadening its presence into Thailand and Korea. Riggins highlighted new partnerships and investments — including collaboration with CP Group in Korea and an equity stake in Bit Planet — designed to grow the retail footprint for both telecom and cryptocurrency products across key Asian markets. Alongside operational scale-up, Moon Inc. has expanded its access to U.S. investors through its new listing on the OTCQX market under the ticker MXXNF, complementing its existing Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing (1723.HK). “One thing we've consistently heard from investors is that they want easier exposure to Moon Inc. in U.S. dollars,” said Riggins, noting that the new listing is expected to increase liquidity and broaden the company's investor base. #proactiveinvestors #mooninc #otc #mxxnf #BitcoinCard #OTCQX #CryptoTreasury #TelecomAsia #BitcoinNews #HongKongBusiness #USListing #CryptoGifting #ColdWallet #BlockchainAsia

The autonomous capabilities of Generative AI—from hallucinating content to designing novel drugs—have created a legal risk landscape that challenges every traditional doctrine of corporate liability, from foreseeability to product liability. This is no longer an ethics debate; it's a litigation ticking clock.In this essential special episode, we dissect the burgeoning regulatory dichotomy: the comprehensive, risk-based approach of the EU AI Act versus the fragmented, litigation-led system of the United States. We will analyze the central conflict of copyright law and the high-stakes lawsuits over training data, and we will equip you to defend against the threat of defamation by hallucination.But first, a crucial message for the enterprise builders:

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a significant milestone in the company's capital markets strategy, announcing that its common shares are now listed for trading on Tradegate Exchange in Germany using “KD0”. This expanded trading access will enable European investors to buy and sell First Phosphate shares during regular EU market hours and extended trading windows across multiple European time zones. Passalacqua says the new listing is designed to increase visibility, accessibility, and international shareholder participation as the company advances its role in securing the North American and European lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supply chain. The Tradegate listing complements as to the company's other existing public market presence on the Canadian Securities Exchange, OTCQX, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Tradegate, known for supporting globally focused companies, offers another platform for European investors who share First Phosphate's mission to onshore critical battery materials and reduce supply-chain reliance on offshore phosphate sources. Passalacqua highlighted that the company recently achieved a major technological breakthrough, producing commercial-grade LFP 18650 battery cells made entirely from North American critical minerals. These cells were manufactured using high-purity phosphoric acid and iron powder derived from rare igneous anorthosite rock at the company's Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec — underscoring First Phosphate's ability to deliver a fully integrated and localized LFP cathode supply chain solution. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Meren Energy Inc (TSX:MER, OTCQX:MRNFF) investor relations manager Shahin Amini talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's upgrade from the OTC Pink to the OTCQX market, describing it as a strategic move to enhance investor outreach and market visibility. Amini said the upgrade supports Meren's broader plan for active engagement with investors, following the company's earlier consolidation and rebranding from Africa Oil. “The upgrade from OTC Pink to OTCQX is a very important step in our investor relations and communication plans,” he told Proactive. He explained the move is designed to boost visibility with brokers, funds and retail platforms in the US, leveraging the presence OTCQX provides on high-tier market data systems. Amini noted that OTCQX offers many of the benefits of a full listing but at a lower cost and regulatory burden, while still relying on Meren's existing Canadian disclosure standards. Looking ahead, he flagged the upcoming Q3 results, set to be published on 13 November, with potential for another quarterly dividend—bringing the total for the year to $100 million if approved. Operational catalysts include infill drilling in Nigeria, a potential final investment decision on the Preowei project, and a high-impact exploration opportunity in Namibia. He also highlighted progress on farm-down efforts in Equatorial Guinea.

Trust Stamp EVP John Bridge joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a new cryptocurrency and tokenized-asset initiative anchored by the company's biometrically validated, quantum-secure TSI Wallet. The wallet will function as both a non-custodial digital wallet and a “wallet of wallets,” enabling secure management of multiple assets in a single interface. A waitlist is now open, with commercial availability expected January 1, 2026. Bridge highlighted a growing challenge in the digital asset sector: inaccessible or abandoned wallets. An estimated 2.3–3.7 million Bitcoin are believed to be permanently lost due to misplaced or unrecoverable wallet credentials. In custodial wallets, recovery processes can mirror standard online password-reset workflows, requiring identity validation to regain access. However, non-custodial wallets rely solely on a seed phrase, meaning that if it is lost, forgotten, or never passed on to beneficiaries, the assets may be irretrievable. In addition to the issue of asset loss, fraud and credential compromise remain major threats. Bridge noted that with the rapid global expansion of stablecoins, the scale and sophistication of criminal activity is expected to grow. The TSI Wallet is designed to ensure the legitimate owner — or an authorized beneficiary — must biometrically approve every transaction, improving both security and rightful recovery. Trust Stamp also plans to introduce patented technology enabling tokenized identity attributes to be embedded into digital assets. This feature would support authentication of rightful ownership and enable meaningful KYC/AML compliance while still preserving user privacy. #proactiveinvestors #truststamp #nasdaq #idai #IdentityTech #DigitalIdentity #Fintech #GhanaID #SouthKoreaStartup #AsiaExpansion #KStartupChallenge #FinancialServices #Biometrics #TechExpansion #ProactiveInvestors #AndrewGowasack #wallet #TSI3 wallet #biometrics #DigitalIdentity #CryptoWallet #BiometricWallet #StableIT2 #DeFiSecurity #KYC #CryptoRecovery #LostCryptoKeys #Stablecoin #BlockchainTechnology #Web3

Buccaneer Energy Plc CEO Paul Welch talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest operational updates in East Texas, including the spudding of the Allar #1 well and its plans to monetise associated gas via Bitcoin mining. Welch explained that Buccaneer expects the Allar #1 well to perform similarly to its previous Fouke 1 and Fouke 2 wells. While the gross production could reach 140 barrels per day, the field allowable limits it to 120 barrels daily, translating to a net 40 barrels per day for Buccaneer. At a WTI price of $60 per barrel, this would yield approximately $55,000 in monthly revenue for the company. Welch noted that the company had raised £500,000 to advance a strategic Bitcoin mining project in the Pine Mills field. The field's unique gas profile means gas volumes are insufficient to justify traditional takeaway infrastructure. Instead, Buccaneer plans to generate electricity onsite and use it to power a Bitcoin mining operation, potentially producing an additional $75,000 in monthly free cash flow if the company owns the full value chain. "This is essentially turning what is currently a kind of waste product into a revenue stream," Welch said, adding that it could also relieve back pressure on existing wells, enabling higher production rates. He highlighted that the company is open to partnering with firms experienced in Bitcoin mining to manage the infrastructure, equipment, and operations.

Orchestrating the Nomad Century: Quotas, New Cities, and the Food Production Revolution. Gaia Vince encourages a proactive vision for managing massive climate-driven migration, involving facing expected heat, enlarging northern cities, and building entirely new ones. Vince provides an optimistic example of a managed migration where a farmer in Gujarat, India, applies for migration and is assigned to Aberdeen, Scotland. She suggests establishing a new United Nations agency with "real teeth" to organize migration among host and origin nations, allocating people via a quota system to specific jobs and areas. To mitigate hostility, migrants would commit to taking jobs in high-need industries for their first few years. A major challenge is food supply, requiring a complete overhaul of global food production, necessitating a shift toward a plant-based diet, as mass meat production is extremely inefficient. Alternative food sources like plant-based meats, insects, and vertical farming in cities are essential. Vince emphasizes the enormous potential for biodiversity restoration if damaged natural landscapes are left alone.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Throughout October, we have been exploring practical bullying prevention strategies, and today we are wrapping up the series with a focus on teaching self-advocacy. While this may seem like a more reactive approach, it is an essential skill that helps students navigate challenges with confidence. In this episode, we explore three simple ways to help students learn to advocate for themselves and others: Practice Scripts Provide students with sample scripts they can use in real-life situations. Watch short videos together, then practice through role play in small groups or class lessons. This gives students a chance to apply what they learn and build communication skills in a safe environment. Self-Esteem Affirmations Encourage students to use positive self-talk that supports their confidence. Have them create affirmation cards or write encouraging messages on sticky notes to remind themselves of their strengths and worth. Advocating for Others Teach students to be upstanders rather than bystanders. Traditional bullying prevention lessons can be adapted to show students how to recognize when someone needs help and how to take safe, supportive action. Tune in to learn how you can incorporate self-advocacy into your counseling lessons and empower your students to stand up for themselves and others.

Proactive vs. reactive.  We know that they are going to mess up.  They're gonna do something really dumb.  (It's kind of in their job descriptions.)Too often, we allow 'fate' to guide our families, reacting to situations and circumstances as they develop.  This is especially dangerous when it comes to discipling and disciplining our kids.  Today, Mike Lee encourages families to take a proactive approach to the dumbness, not be shocked when it happens, and begin the coaching early..."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit: https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit: https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone: (623)225-5573.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: October 24, 2025 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center I Did Something Bad: When Customs Comes Calling This week, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — draws inspiration from I Did Something Bad to explore one of the biggest trade compliance challenges happening right now: CBP's surge in broad and complex Requests for Information (CF-28s and CF-29s). Cindy breaks down what these new inquiries mean for importers, especially those dealing with Section 232 duties, component-level valuation, and IEEPA-related exemptions. She also discusses the latest updates on the U.S.–China trade relationship, new tariffs on vehicles and buses, the continuing government shutdown, and the upcoming IEEPA Supreme Court hearing. If you've received a CF-28 that looks more like a full audit than a question, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Status of the government shutdown and potential trade impacts New Section 232 duties: • 25% on medium and heavy-duty vehicles and parts • 10% on buses (effective November 1) Details on the new manufacturer duty offset for U.S.-assembled vehicles containing 15% or more U.S. content Ongoing U.S.–China trade tensions and potential 100% tariffs on Chinese-origin goods Updates on U.S.–India negotiations and high pharmaceutical tariffs Expanded coverage of component-level aluminum and steel duties under Section 232 IEEPA Supreme Court hearing scheduled for November 5, and why it matters Why importers are seeing an increase in CF-28 and CF-29 requests — and how to prepare Key Takeaways: The government shutdown has yet to cause major disruption, but risk increases with each passing week. Section 232 duties are expanding to new products and components, creating valuation and traceability challenges.

Learn more about the 'Justice Gap' and the need for accessible legal help at justicegap.lsc.gov Join the experiment and consider sponsoring the mission at Joze.ai! Takeaways The current legal system often fails to provide adequate conflict resolution for the majority of people. Joze aims to create a decentralized platform for conflict resolution that is accessible and affordable. AI can facilitate meaningful communication and understanding between conflicting parties. Proactive conflict management can prevent disputes from escalating. Empathy and trust are crucial components in resolving conflicts effectively. The existing legal system is adversarial and often exacerbates conflicts rather than resolving them. Joze seeks to empower individuals to take control of their conflict resolution processes. Community engagement is essential for reaching those who need conflict resolution services. The future of conflict resolution lies in innovative, technology-driven solutions that prioritize human connection.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! October is Bullying Prevention Month, and throughout the month I'll be sharing some replays of our best episodes focused on strategies to prevent bullying in schools. In today's episode, we're diving into friendship skills — an essential foundation for creating a kind, connected, and inclusive school culture. I'll be sharing ideas you can use at every level: schoolwide, classroom, small group, and individual. Schoolwide Strategies Buddy Bench (Elementary Level): Transform an existing bench at recess into a “Buddy Bench.” When a student feels lonely or doesn't have anyone to play with, they can sit there to signal they're looking for a friend. Other students are encouraged to approach, sit with them, or invite them to join in play. Mix It Up at Lunch Day (Middle School Level): Help reduce lunchroom anxiety by encouraging students to sit somewhere new for a day. This activity helps them meet new peers and break out of their usual social circles. Assigned Recess Groups: Rotate groups of students to play or interact together, fostering connections between kids who might not usually spend time with one another. Classroom Strategies Friendship Lessons: Lead a class discussion or activity around the qualities of a good friend versus the qualities of a not-so-good friend. This sets the tone for healthy peer relationships and respectful communication. Small Group Strategies Friendship Discussions: Talk about what makes a good friend and how good friends act. Friendship Dice Game: Use discussion prompts such as “What do you love about your friends?” or “What annoys you about your friends?” to spark meaningful conversations. Conflict Resolution Practice: Teach students to use “I” statements to express their feelings and resolve friendship conflicts. Scenario Cards: Role-play different social situations to help students problem-solve and practice empathy. Individual Counseling Strategies Scripts and Role Plays: Work one-on-one with students to build their social confidence. The goal is to help them gain the skills they need to transition into small group or class activities successfully.
