Brief Filed in Opposition to Warren Buffett’s Attempt to Get Lawsuit Dismissed

NLPC

On Monday the National Legal and Policy Center filed its brief in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska opposing Warren Buffett ‘s and Berkshire Hathaway ‘s motion to dismiss NLPC’s lawsuit filed in May to hold them accountable for having NLPC’s Chairman, Peter Flaherty, arrested at Berkshire’s 2023 Annual Meeting. Mr. Flaherty’s presentation, as part of the meeting agenda, supported NLPC’s shareholder proposal to have the positions of Chairman and CEO be held by separate individuals, as a matter of good corporate governance. As part of his presentation, Mr. Flaherty criticized Mr. Buffett’s billions of dollars of support to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which promotes the controversial Critical Race Theory teaching that “math is inherently racist,” and a Gender Identity Toolbox, “which asserts that gender is a result of socially and culturally constructed ideas.” Mr. Flaherty also pointed out Bill Gates ‘s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which had been reported in a Wall Street Journal story two days before the meeting. As he spoke, Buffett cut Flaherty’s microphone and ordered his security guards to eject Mr. Flaherty from the arena, who had an Omaha Police officer arrest Flaherty on the spot. “The silencing and arrest of a shareholder who was speaking in favor of a shareholder proposal has never before occurred at an annual meeting of a public company in the United States,” Flaherty said. “We look forward to having our day in court to hold Mr. Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway accountable for their actions,” said NLPC Counsel Paul Kamenar. It is expected that the federal court will rule in the coming weeks on Berkshire’s motion to dismiss. Click here for NLPC’s Brief. Click here for Exhibit #1 (charge dismissal document).

Flash ‘Puts Parking on the Map’ with Google Search, Google Maps, and Now Waze

Flash

Flash today announced the full U.S. release of reservable parking transactions in Waze that Flash developed in collaboration with the popular navigation app. Waze joins Google Search and Google Maps in Flash’s growing portfolio of integrations which features parking options with Flash across all three major platforms, including many of the world’s largest parking operators and owners. Together, Flash and Waze set a new standard for how drivers find and pay for parking at 30,000 parking locations in North America. When drivers enter their destinations in Waze, the app now suggests nearby reservable parking locations. Drivers can see important details for selecting their preferred parking location such as cost, amenities, wheelchair-accessibility and valet options. Drivers can reserve and pay for the parking location they choose, and Waze will route them to the selected parking destination where they can access the parking facility with a digital pass. “Driver behaviors and expectations are shifting, and our efforts to embed reservable parking and charging experiences with leading apps and platforms anticipated that shift,” said Dan Roarty, Chief Digital Officer at Flash. “We can help parking asset owners and operators meet drivers in the apps and sites where they plan their travel and bring an end to the era of circling blocks, wasting time and fuel in the search for parking.” Early results prove that allowing drivers to book parking directly in the search and navigation apps they use most is a win for parking owners and operators. Over 90 percent of these drivers are new customers to the parking locations. They make Google parking reservations 8.5 hours in advance and at a median distance of 22.3 miles away from their destination. These customers plan ahead through digital services and trust the navigation apps they already use. “This is an exciting time in the parking industry as Flash continues to partner with Parkway to make our customer experience more seamless and integrated than ever,” said Robert Zuritsky, Parkway President and CEO. “Parkway is thrilled to see reservable parking at our locations made available through these services. Flash understands our business and continually innovates to deliver new channels and capabilities that drive additional customers and transactions to us.” Flash’s integrations with Waze, Google Search and Google Maps unify operators’ availability and pricing data and performance metrics across these Google properties. These properties join Flash’s growing integration footprint alongside existing relationships with Ticketmaster, hundreds of major event venues and automakers like Mercedes Benz and Hyundai. Flash’s flexible developer tools and payment configurations support the integration of Flash experiences into a wide range of interfaces, from desktop and mobile browsers to mobile apps, connected car dashboards and enterprise applications for employee parking and fleets. About Flash Flash is a pioneering technology company bringing seamless parking and EV charging experiences to drivers through a first-of-its-kind digital ecosystem. Flash’s platform connects reservable parking and charging in the apps drivers use every day with garage, surface lot, event, and valet parking locations — connected and controlled via a cloud-based operating system with unrivaled intelligence. Customer-obsessed brands partner with Flash to deliver digital, easy-to-use, reliable, and increasingly frictionless experiences to drivers eager to pay for a solution that eliminates wasted time, excess emissions, and stress from driving. The solution has arrived. Visit www.flashparking.com to learn more. Note to the editor: Find b-roll footage and animation of the user experience in Waze for use at the included links. A list of selected reservable parking options for landmarks in major cities is available by request.

Airship AI (NASDAQ: AISP) Marks Six Months On The NASDAQ: Russell 2000 Inclusion, Company Projects Triple-Digit Growth For 2024

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga Redmond, Washington-based artificial intelligence company Airship AI (NASDAQ: AISP) seems to have quickly made its mark in the AI-driven surveillance technology space since its bourse debut six months ago. Specializing in synthesizing vast amounts of data from surveillance cameras and sensors, the company uses AI to provide real-time actionable insights for its customers across a range of sectors, including law enforcement, defense, logistics and retail. In a recent interview with Benzinga, Airship AI President Paul Allen shared the latest updates from the company. Public Offering And Q2 Results Airship AI was founded in 2006 but only debuted on the NASDAQ in December 2023 through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). As Allen explained, the company’s decision to go public via a SPAC rather than an IPO was driven by a need for financial transparency, particularly in securing large government contracts. Having the backing of Wall Street gives Airship AI a competitive edge against large established defense contractors, as it reassures potential clients that the company has the financial stability to deliver on large-scale projects. The decision to go public appears to be paying off, with Airship AI’s latest financial report showing its growth over the second quarter. The company reported net revenues of $6.4 million, a gross profit of $4.5 million, a gross margin of 70% and a positive operating income. Allen noted that it has made significant progress toward its target of achieving triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth and being cash flow positive. Russell 2000 Inclusion: A Key Milestone Airship AI announced in July that it has been added to the Russell 2000 index, a benchmark for small-cap companies in the U.S. This achievement is a testament to its growth potential and a signal of confidence in the company’s future, with Allen pointing to its project pipeline and current opportunities as reasons for this confidence. While its shareholder base comprises mostly retail investors at present, the company’s inclusion in the Russell 2000 is expected to widen its exposure to institutional investors, which could open avenues for more significant investment. Harnessing AI For Real-World Impact The transformative potential of AI has been one of the main stories of the market recently, and Airship AI is using this technology to address some of the biggest challenges in safety and security. Applying advanced AI techniques to video data management, the company focuses on computer vision, object edge detection and real-time data analysis to enable its clients to make fast decisions in high-stakes situations. For example, Airship AI’s technology can be used to track a suspect’s movements, track packages on conveyor belts, or monitor public areas for unusual activity. Airship AI’s platform could even predict potential problems before they occur, offering its clients an invaluable level of foresight. Recent Contracts Airship AI has already attracted several high-profile clients, including awards from commercial and government entities. Most recently, the company announced on 25 June that it has been awarded a contract extension within the Department of Justice, which uses Airship AI’s Acropolis Enterprise Sensor Management video and data management platform to investigate and counter threats to national security. Also in June, the company announced a six-figure contract with a separate DOJ agency for its Acropolis platform. In the same month, Airship AI announced another six-figure contract with a Fortune 100 company in the transportation and e-commerce sector. The company will use the Acropolis platform to support operational and physical security requirements. Looking Ahead Allen highlighted Airship AI’s recent participation in the NASDAQ closing bell ceremony in May as a symbolic moment for the company, serving as a celebration of its first few months as a public company, and of the hard work and dedication it took to bring the company to this point. The company sees a big demand for its technology, with a market that is projected to grow to over $40 billion by 2030. With its recent financial performance exhibiting growth and its robust pipeline of projects, Airship AI seems well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for AI-driven surveillance and data management solutions.

Svenska lagar och regler - en inblick & rapport

AM Europe

Sveriges spellagstiftning genomgick en betydande förändring 2019 med införandet av en ny spellag. Syftet med reformen var att öka konsumentskyddet och kontrollera den svenska spelmarknaden. En direkt konsekvens av detta blev en striktare reglering av utländska casinon som riktar sig till svenska spelare. Utländska Casinon och Svensk Lag Innan 2019 var det relativt fritt fram för utländska casinon att verka på den svenska marknaden. Men med den nya spellagen är det endast casinon med svensk licens som får rikta sig till svenska spelare. Detta innebär att utländska casinon utan svensk licens inte längre får marknadsföra sig till svenska spelare eller erbjuda sina tjänster till dem. Vad betyder detta för svenska spelare? Begränsat utbud: Spelare har ett mindre utbud av casinon att välja mellan. Ökad säkerhet: Spelare som väljer ett svenskt licensierat casino kan känna sig säkrare då dessa casinon följer strikta regler och krav. Skatter: Vinster från spel på svenska casinon beskattas inte, medan vinster från spel på utländska casinon kan vara skattepliktiga. Spelinspektionen – Tillsynsmyndigheten Spelinspektionen är den svenska myndighet som ansvarar för att övervaka och kontrollera spelmarknaden. De har till uppgift att se till att spelbolag följer gällande lagar och regler, samt att skydda spelare från oärliga aktörer. Spelinspektionen har verktyg för att blockera olagliga casinon och kan även utdela sanktioner till bolag som bryter mot reglerna. Läs mer här: Utländska Casino NewsDirect Konsumentskydd och Ansvarigt Spelande Den nya spellagen har också infört skärpta krav på ansvarsfullt spelande. Casinon måste erbjuda verktyg för spelare att sätta gränser för sina spelande, och det finns även stödlinjer för spelberoende. Det är viktigt att komma ihåg att spel alltid innebär en risk. Det är därför viktigt att spela ansvarsfullt och sätta upp gränser för sig själv. Sammanfattning Sveriges spellagstiftning har blivit betydligt striktare för att skydda spelare och kontrollera spelmarknaden. Även om det innebär begränsningar för spelare, så ökar det också säkerheten och skapar en rättvisare spelmiljö. Det är viktigt att alltid välja ett svenskt licensierat casino för att vara säker på att spela på laglig grund och kunna ta del av konsumentskyddet. Viktigt att notera: Denna artikel är en allmän översikt och ersätter inte juridisk rådgivning. För mer detaljerad information rekommenderas att kontakta Spelinspektionen eller en jurist. Nyckelord: svensk spellagstiftning, utländska casinon, Spelinspektionen, ansvarsfullt spelande, konsumentskydd.

LogicMark (NASDAQ: LGMK) Makes Expansion Push With Mobile Personal Safety App Aster As It Pivots From Medical Alerts With CPaaS Model

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga The recent terror scare at Taylor Swift’s Vienna concerts has thrust personal safety into the spotlight around the globe. Security is big business, as the personal safety and security device market in 2023 was worth over $45.2 billion and is projected to surpass $133.7 billion by year-end 2036. LogicMark (NASDAQ: LGMK) is at the forefront of transformative software technology that works to help make people feel safer wherever they may be. LogicMark aims to disrupt the personal emergency response systems (PERS) market by applying its transformative technological innovation to this area. As part of its transformation, the company has recently been expanding its product pipeline into new markets. Known for its Freedom Alert Pendant, the maiden two-way voice communication device that connects directly to emergency workers via 911 and supports multiple contacts, LogicMark has been known as a hardware company since its inception in the early 2000s. As an early mover in the PERS segment, LogicMark makes its offerings available across price points to customers. Now the company has expanded into direct-to-consumer (DTC) and subscription-based services, where it continues to evolve its capabilities across connected technology and medical alert products, including PERS offerings. The company says its latest innovation is ahead of its time. For example, PERS solutions are known for their reactive technology, responding to emergencies that are already taking place, which is groundbreaking in its own right. However, LogicMark’s latest service goes on offense, harnessing connected and predictive technology with algorithms that are able to anticipate a user’s falls and other issues before they even happen. In 2024, the company reinvented itself from a pure hardware play to a subscription-based services model in which it offers multiple layers of services, thereby diversifying its revenue streams beyond those generated by hardware and accessories. To reflect its expanding portfolio, LogicMark pioneered the Caring Platform as a Service (CPaaS) market segment, even coining the phrase in a nod to the software-as-a-service (SasS) niche. CPaaS is a market that has emerged amid the rise of mobile ride-share apps, mobile dating sites and other technologies that can create potentially vulnerable situations for users. With a tech-centric leadership team in place, LogicMark is making its mark in the internet of things (IoT) and the rising care economy. LogicMark Launches Safety App Aster In early 2024, as a part of its pivot from a singular focus on medical alerts to a broader one on personal safety, LogicMark expanded its product portfolio with the launch of the Aster safety mobile application. With a heightened focus on growing its sales in the online and direct-to-consumer (DTC) segments, LogicMark’s app added another revenue stream from a new market to its business model while broadening its offerings to support the safety needs of a growing population. Perhaps more importantly, with the Aster app, LogicMark has expanded its footprint into a new total addressable market under the personal safety umbrella through which it has the potential to generate multiple revenue streams. For example, the company envisions adding additional services to the app. Thanks to Aster, LogicMark’s addressable market now extends beyond the care economy for seniors to potentially reach the global population. Safety app Aster is a subscription-based software application that’s available on both the Apple and Google Play stores. This software solution is akin to having a group of buddies, one that the company affectionately refers to as a village, in your back pocket, whether it’s friends, sorority sisters, parents, neighbors etc. In return, users gain peace of mind in any situation while staying connected to their own personal village. Quite literally, LogicMark’s Bluetooth button, which is no bigger than an AirTag, can be physically clipped to any key chain or bag as well as fitting in small pockets or adorned on clothing. Coupled with the Aster app, it acts as a quick-access emergency device – helping solve a problem for not just seniors but all Americans who want to feel safer. LogicMark CEO Chia-Lin Simmons stated in the company’s fourth-quarter earnings release, “Aster is an excellent example of how our Caring Platform as a Service (CPaaS) model can be leveraged to launch other internet-of-things (IoT) solutions.” LogicMark says its Aster app only scratches the surface of the potential of the CPaaS market, as the software technology can be harnessed to produce other IoT Solutions. Aster is the company’s maiden use case for the CPaaS model from which it plans to introduce fresh IoT solutions to protect the safety of users while also allowing family, friends and caregivers to stand watch over others from afar. LogicMark says that given its early mover status, the company has a market share advantage in this field. Investors who are interested in participating in the potential continued growth of this technology company can gain a glimpse of past performance in LogicMark’s stock chart here. While a corporate transformation can result in volatile fundamentals, some analysts believe that the company has momentum on its side as sales “comparisons become more apples to apples,” per Zack’s small-cap stock research.

Rezolve Debuts On Nasdaq And Looks To Level Up E-commerce With AI-Powered Sales Engine

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga E-commerce has been around for decades, with early movers Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) still making their mark on the industry today. Over the years, the e-commerce landscape has ballooned, with the U.S. boasting nearly 14 million e-commerce platforms as of 2023. Predictions see the industry capturing 41% of global retail sales by 2027, compared with 18% in 2017, according to the Boston Consulting Group. However, in order for that growth to become a reality, the industry must integrate greater efficiencies, especially in this age of generative artificial intelligence (AI) that has spread like wildfire, owing to the rise of ChatGPT. But over the last decade or so, the e-commerce industry has struggled to change with the times. As a result, e-commerce sites are finding would-be customers abandoning their online carts more often than not. In a blow to online retailers, roughly 70% of shoppers who go through the e-commerce process wind up dropping out of the checkout flow before completing the purchase. Rezolve AI – Investor Presentation July 2024 from Rezolve on Vimeo. While this may be due to a change of heart, or finding the product cheaper elsewhere, it often comes down to the customer suddenly questioning an important product feature like power outlet compatibility, the answer to which they simply couldn’t find online. Rather than risk having to return the item later, they leave the site and the sale is lost. Generative AI, which powers chatbots like ChatGPT, has the potential to deliver the change that is needed to modernize the e-commerce industry and close more sales. However, as retailers grapple with AI development, they are often left paralyzed due to the massive amounts of investment in technology and talent that is required to bring their systems up to speed. Fortunately, UK-based Rezolve AI (NASDAQ: RZLV) has emerged to service small and mid-size merchants, large e-commerce platforms, and large retailers and Payment Service Providers with AI-powered software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that can streamline the purchasing journey and address a costly problem that has plagued e-commerce for years. The company’s financial model is designed to generate attractive software revenue and margins from business customers with a monthly fixed SaaS fee structured around three tiers and based on their respective search volumes. Resolve intends to hit the ground running by scaling into the large geographic markets of North America and Europe, growth markets such as the Middle East, including a Memorandum-of-Understanding with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for an AI-Center of Excellence, as well as established and new industries organically and through distributors and partnerships. Today, the company has agreements with Adobe, ACI Worldwide, Handlerbund, and others. Led by e-commerce and SaaS-veteran Dan Wagner, Rezolve AI has been around since 2016 and began trading on the Nasdaq on Aug. 11, 2024. E-commerce Challenges To further understand the disconnect between consumers and online retailers, it helps to envisage the traditional way of shopping. Upon visiting a men’s clothing store in search of a blue suit, a middle-aged customer explains their desire to the salesperson, including details on preferences like suit material, color, size, button placement, etc. In response, the sales representative brings back several options most closely fitting those criteria. However, when reintroducing this scenario to the e-commerce world, the results are much broader. Upon entering “blue men’s suit” into the search bar, the shopper is bombarded with infinite possibilities, some of which involve low-waisted pants that are popular with the Gen Z crowd. By attempting to drill down the results by filtering, they run the risk of omitting certain features that would be useful had the shopper known they existed. On the other end of the spectrum, let’s say an online shopper is in the market for a new mobile device. However, without knowing a megabyte from a gigabyte or a plasma screen from an OLED display, this customer may often be confused. Search results are presented by highlighting these very features, and without knowledge of them, chances are the customer won’t be able to make an informed decision. As a result, the online shopper could end up spending hours researching the differences between the latest iPhone and Samsung devices just to learn what Rezolve’s Brain chatbot could have told them conversationally and much shorter time spent. Rezolve’s Proprietary AI-Powered Brain Chatbot Rezolve’s proprietary AI solution, dubbed Brain Commerce, is designed to improve the e-commerce experience. The software solution has been programmed with foundational models involving search, technology, taxonomies and data that can recognize and respond to everyday questions, like, ‘Which device do you recommend, the iPhone 14 or Samsung Galaxy S24?’ in real time. Brain’s automated response recommends a product with supporting reasons for each choice. As a result, customers receive engagement similar to what they would find in a live setting. That’s because Brain knows almost everything about the products, as it has already consumed all of the information in the user manuals as well as customer reviews. “Brain Commerce is the best salesman for digital channels and it’s a real step up on what we have today,” stated Rezolve’s Wagner, adding that it solves real problems for merchants and e-tailers, like people dropping out of a retailer’s checkout flow. But that is not where the Brain solution ends. Brain Checkout, which is similarly powered by AI, supports fast and immediate checkout capabilities with a tap, making it convenient and seamless for customers to finish what they started. Brain Checkout also boasts watermark technology that can be embedded into images or audio, paving the way for customers to interact with ads that capture their attention from a mobile device, then enabling them to add grocery products to their cart or schedule a test drive for a BMW. Rezolve AI Looks To Capitalize On Transition To AI 2.0 Generative AI-related stocks have had the winds in their sales this year; a momentum that is expected to continue. The AI 2.0 theme focuses on adopters. Industries such as customer service, health care, finance and logistics are poised for significant transformation through AI. As a result, now is an advantageous time for merchants and companies associated with this proprietary technology to join the action and build their competitive advantage. That is precisely what Rezolve is pursuing under the leadership of Wagner, who has a history of bringing companies to both the Nasdaq and London Stock Exchange. Rezolve’s public listing on the Nasdaq was the result of a business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp ( NASDAQ: AACI), a special purpose acquisition company. Rezolve AI trades on the Nasdaq market under the ticker symbol RZLV.
