What’s the status of my refund, @KuwaitAirways? This has been the worst airline experience I’ve had so far. It’s been 5 months since my flight was canceled, and I’m still following up on the refund. Please provide an update.

Astranis is building a new satellite for Taiwan. 🇹🇼 With our customer, Chunghwa Telecom, we will bring Taiwan its first-ever dedicated communications satellite. Chunghwa Telecom is the largest telco in Taiwan, with a market cap of more than $30 billion USD. Independent, secure internet infrastructure has never been more geopolitically important — and because it’s impossible to replicate with LEO constellations or even terrestrial links, it merits some spelling out. Astranis was founded on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to peace, prosperity, and self-determination. The satellite we’re bringing to Taiwan represents resilience. It will serve as a critical backbone for cellular connectivity, maritime communications, and essential government services across Taiwan. And it will ensure that Chunghwa Telecom’s network remains operational in times of crisis, whether in the face of natural disasters or other disruptions to terrestrial infrastructure. Importantly, Astranis provides more than just a satellite — we give our customers a standalone, dedicated network. A network that can be rapidly deployed and fully spans their geography of choice. With enterprise-grade security, customizability, and deep insights into the configuration and operation of the network. And as an independent piece of infrastructure, it safeguards against geopolitical risks, and is beyond the reach of hostile neighbors. Those are the benefits of having your own, dedicated satellite and network. And that’s why so many customers are choosing Astranis. We at Astranis are honored to be part of this moment, and to have a product that has proven so uniquely needed in today’s world. We look forward to continuing to support Taiwan and its people for many years to come.

Excited to announce UtilitySat, the world’s first multi-mission geostationary satellite, that we're launching at the end of this year. This is a first of its kind. And a new product line-- providing on-demand connectivity for disaster relief, bridge capacity, and other missions. We started Astranis to build something new: small communications satellites that provide dedicated broadband capacity for our customers. At the end of this year we’re launching four more of them on a dedicated Falcon 9 rocket, with many more to come after that. That launch of four satellites includes one satellite for Peru, two satellites for in-flight connectivity, and a fourth satellite that had been previously kept under wraps. Until now. Introducing UtilitySat, the Swiss Army Knife of satellites This is a new product— the world’s first multi-mission commercial GEO satellite, capable of conducting multiple fully-operational broadband connectivity missions. And it is just the first of many. We’ll plan to launch many UtilitySats in the years to come. UtilitySat can provide connectivity on standard Ku, Ka, and Q/V bands, and has the flexibility to dial in exact frequencies using Astranis’s proprietary ultra-wideband software-defined radio. It can also relocate dozens of times around the GEO belt over its lifetime. It does this using our unique on-board dual-propulsion architecture, which includes both a chemical monopropellant system and an electric ion thruster. A new mission every year, or every month When we first began development of UtilitySat almost 2 years ago, we had many different missions in mind. UtilitySat can serve as bridge capacity for a customer that is waiting for a dedicated satellite, as an on-orbit spare, or as extra, surge capacity that can be brought in to supplement the broadband service we’re providing to one of our customers. There are acute needs as well — a natural disaster can wipe out terrestrial connectivity over a huge geographic area. One of the top priorities for first responders and during disaster relief is reliable comms on the ground. With multiple UtilitySats on orbit, Astranis can bring in extra capacity on incredibly short notice. Capacity that is compatible with existing, low-cost GEO ground terminals. In initial conversations with customers for UtilitySat, we’ve seen huge demand — these customers often want to lease the entire capacity of the satellite once they learn what UtilitySat can offer. Customers need all the capacity they can get, and new capacity that can be deployed on short notice is a huge deal and a huge departure from traditional GEO satellites. We see a future where customers will be able to call up extra capacity on demand to augment their existing capacity needs, and we’re making that future a reality. US Government applications The first UtilitySat mission will be a commercial one, but we are seeing enormous demand from both from commercial companies and from our government customers. The US Government has unique needs — Combatant Commanders need to be able to task dedicated satellites to specific AORs at a moment’s notice — and surge communications would give them a new tool in their toolbox, helping them win even in a contested environment. And more broadly speaking our military leaders have said the one priority in national security space is to add resiliency to our fleets, using larger numbers of smaller, flexible, and maneuverable satellites so we’re not dependent on just a handful of huge satellites in GEO. UtilitySat shows that Astranis can do just that. Not traditional GEO satellites UtilitySat is only possible because of Astranis’s unique technology — including our proprietary software–defined radio. The flexibility of having on-board digital signal processing allows us to build a standardized satellite design, and move a lot of what used to be done in hardware, into software. UtilitySat uses the standard Astranis MicroGEO platform, adding more frequency bands and some new software capabilities to make maximum use of the available spectrum, no matter where the satellite is on orbit. Traditional geostationary satellites are designed to sit in one orbital slot for up to 20 years, with a set of frequency bands that is hardwired in at the factory. Their single mission must be predetermined many years before they are launched. Astranis does not build traditional GEO satellites. From day one we knew there had to be a better way, and we’re doing it.

Can United States manufacture robots? Matic Robots says "yes." It makes the best floor cleaning robot, that has won many perfect scores from Wired to many others. We love ours. But my trip there to get a tour from AI pioneer Navneet Dalal Navneet Dalal provided some real insights into how hard it is for a hardware company to make hardware in the United States. And how deeply AI is changing consumer electronics products that are going to be in many more homes soon. In this first part (Part II coming tomorrow) we get a look at how long it took for this company to go through prototypes to a shipping product. In the second part, you'll see the scaling hell that it takes to even ship a few thousand robots and the kinds of problems that scaling up a factory brings. Matic is one of my favorite small Silicon Valley companies. It has found what we call "product market fit." I just came back from CES where I saw many of its competitors, and the Matic wins because of not just the product thinking of Mehul and Navneet Dalal but because of their AI leadership. In a way their robot took many lessons from Tesla, from where to put the batteries to its bet on computer vision, which Navneet has been a pioneer in for years, working quietly behind the scenes. It is about to move into a new location that will allow it to grow to meet the demand that now is showing up (the boxes in its lobby show that it's outgrowing its current facilities). In terms of AI, it has aspirations of making a humanoid too, but it is taking a far more measured approach to getting there. By starting on the floor it can not just build world models based on real world data (customers are given a choice whether to allow its data to be used that way. Most customers choose to keep their data on the robot only, for privacy reasons, but if you opt in you can help them improve their models). They are using that data to understand homes. Navneet told me they hit very unusual situations in people's homes already that they couldn't really predict in simulators, like full-wall mirrors that confuse computer vision systems, or pools and water features in people's homes. Having real customers brings a ton of customer feedback about how to further improve the robot, and, as Navneet demonstrates in the second video, forces them to build a manufacturing muscle memory. Getting teams to work together, figuring out how to solve supply chain problems, from Trump's tarriffs, to a new one that showed up over the past couple of weeks. A supplier for its bags (one of the cheaper parts that goes into the robot) changed the glue it used, which caused robots to fail quality tests and the manufacturing line to stop. Reminds me a lot of the hell Elon Musk faced in its Fremont factory when Tesla was first starting to manufacture its Model 3, which almost bankrupted the company. Off the record Mehul and Navneet 🇮🇳 showed me some of the prototypes and plans for its next products that will show up over the next few years. Certainly not as sexy as Tesla, Figure, 1x_tech, and all the Chinese manufacturers are showing off already, but far better thought out for the typical Western home and AI plays a huge role in its future. It is the product that speaks for itself. It's amazing, and is about to get better this year due to AI. It's the first real vision-only robot to be in my home and I bet it won't be the last from this company. Real honor that they invited me over with my Insta360 camera (another company launched in my home, just like Matic was last year). In Part II we go into the factory.

I did promise since last year that we would bring agriculture and food systems to center stage at COP28, and here we are! Celebrating together, a MILESTONE MOMENT IN HISTORY for food systems and agriculture at a COP in the first session. I'm happy to confirm that COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action has so far received 134 endorsements from heads of state and government. With these countries on board, we cover more than 5.7 billion people and 70% of all the food we eat. The signatories of the declaration are home to nearly 500 million farmers and represent 75% of all emissions from global food systems. To support the funding and innovation part of the declaration, it gives me great pleasure to announce a significant funding partnership with a very dear partner to the UAE. The partnership will focus on agricultural research and development and scaling up innovations, which is so desperately needed to adapt food systems to the growing threats of climate change. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with the UAE, will fund a total sum of… 200 million US dollars of new investments into food and ag research and scaling up innovations. With the majority of this investment flowing into the CGIAR network, the UAE is delighted to become a core partner of the CGIAR System Council and support its work. A big thank you to all the countries who have endorsed the declaration and contributed to this watershed moment for the food and climate agenda. We look forward to many more joining over the next few days! #FoodSystems #agriculture #COP28UAE #cgiar

DTCC is leading the adoption of the new financial system, and I’m getting even more bullish on $XLM, $XRP, $HBAR and $QNT. Understand what’s happening here. DTCC isn’t building tokenization around one chain or one form of digital cash. It wants institutions to choose how assets settle: Stablecoins. Tokenized deposits. Another tokenized asset. Even asset-for-asset settlement. That changes the game. DTCC’s depository subsidiary already custodies more than $114 trillion in assets, and its Tokenization Service is moving toward stocks, ETFs and U.S. Treasuries becoming programmable across multiple blockchain networks. Now look at the infrastructure already lining up around that future. $XLM This one has the direct connection. DTCC officially selected Stellar for its Tokenization Service, with DTC-tokenized assets expected on Stellar in the first half of 2027. Stellar already has stablecoins, native asset issuance, a DEX, liquidity pools and path payments. That means tokenized assets can potentially move directly against digital money instead of sitting idle. $XRP XRPL brings another piece: liquidity. CSD BR is already using XRPL with regulated BTG Pactual fund shares. And XRPL’s auto-bridging can route: Asset A → XRP → Asset B when XRP provides the better liquidity path. The more tokenized assets exist, the more valuable that becomes. $HBAR Hedera already has regulated tokenized funds, government securities, institutional collateral movements and stablecoin cash flows through Archax, Lloyds and Aberdeen. Real assets are already being used as working capital. $QNT Then comes the money layer. The Clearing House selected Quant to power interoperability and orchestration for U.S. tokenized bank deposits connected to RTP and CHIPS. So DTCC builds the digital assets. Banks build digital money. Quant connects the money. Stellar distributes assets. XRPL provides liquidity. Hedera handles institutional tokenization and collateral. I think we are watching separate pieces of the same financial machine being assembled. And it’s happening much FASTER NOW!

DMRC Introduces Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT) to Enhance Passenger Convenience As part of its ongoing ‘Ease of Booking’ initiative through digitalization, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today launched the Multiple Journey QR Ticket (MJQRT), a cutting-edge technology designed to offer greater convenience for passengers by eliminating the need for purchasing daily QR tickets. DMRC’s Managing Director, Dr. Vikas Kumar launched the new feature today at Metro Bhawan in the presence of other senior officials. Key Features and Benefits of MJQRT: First-of-its-kind solution: MJQRT is a revolutionary digital initiative, marking the first time in India that a QR-based multiple-journey product is being introduced. Exclusively on दिल्ली सारथी (Momentum 2.0): Available exclusively on DMRC’s Delhi Metro Sarathi (Momentum 2.0) app, MJQRT provides passengers with a seamless, efficient way to manage multiple journeys on the Delhi Metro. Availability: This feature will be available for App users from tomorrow. Comprehensive journey management: Passengers will be able to view their journeys, including fare payments and recharges, directly on the app. Simple onboarding: To avail the MJQRT, users must register on the दिल्ली सारथी (Momentum 2.0) app and can start with an initial amount of Rs. 150, which can be used for metro travel. No security deposit: There is no security deposit required for the MJQRT. Flexible recharge options: Users can easily add value in multiples of Rs. 50 through digital payment methods such as UPI, credit cards, and debit cards, with a maximum balance limit of Rs. 3,000. Minimum balance for travel: A minimum balance of Rs. 60 is required to travel using the MJQRT. Discounts on travel: MJQRT offers passengers a 10% discount during peak hours (8 AM - 12 PM and 5 PM - 9 PM) and a 20% discount during off-peak hours. Eco-friendly alternative: MJQRT serves as an eco-friendly and economical alternative to the traditional smart cards currently in use. Secure and recoverable: In case of theft, loss, or damage to the mobile device, the remaining balance will remain intact, and passengers can continue using the MJQRT by logging in on another device.

$RKLB — Bloomberg Interview Q1. Can you clarify the confusion about Neutron? Yesterday, it seemed like you were pushing back the launch date a little bit. Is Neutron still on track to launch from its launch pad in 2026? Peter Beck: I think the headlines overblew it a little bit. What I said is that it's getting a little tighter to get a launch away this year. That's just being honest and transparent. It's a rocket program. These are very difficult and complex programs. Our intention is to push hard and try to get the first flight away this year. But I think the real question that should be asked is: What about the 10th flight? The first flight is obviously important, but flight number 10 is really important because that shows you've reached scale, cadence, and reusability. That's the most important thing for the whole program. Q2. You mentioned cadence. Tell us a bit about how you're thinking about cadence going forward. Is there a viable path to getting to a regular cadence? Peter Beck: If you look at our current vehicle, Electron, we actually scaled that faster than any other rocket in history. We went from zero to 50 flights in the shortest time in history, and we're on track to get to 100 flights in the shortest time in history with that vehicle as well. So we know a thing or two about taking a rocket, putting it on the pad, and flying it over and over again. Neutron is really important for a few reasons. A lot of people focus on it filling a gap and providing competition for Falcon 9, which is an important part of its job. But Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company. We build satellites both for ourselves and for other people. With the pending acquisition of Iridium, we really need a rocket to launch our own satellites. At least 50% of Neutron's capacity is going to be consumed by ourselves. Q3. SpaceX was able to raise a huge amount of cash recently. How do you intend to continue raising cash to fund some of these expensive endeavors? Peter Beck: I think we're a little different from SpaceX. Elon has very grand aspirations that require a lot of cash. For us, we're in the business of getting to cash-flow positivity as quickly as we can. If you look at some of the acquisitions we've done in the past and those we're about to do, they put us in that realm very quickly. We have a very different profile from the other big rocket companies. I'm certainly not one of the richest people in the world, and our competitors have a totally different cost and sense of capital. We've always been the rocket company that has had to be very commercial from day one. We're focused on building a good, solid business and a commercial enterprise that's enduring and making money. Q4. I look at the reported backlog of $2.36 billion with 90-plus launches. How should investors look at that backlog? At what point does it become something that should raise concern if it gets too large? Peter Beck: Everybody loves a great big backlog. Between the last quarter and now, we added nearly $1 billion of backlog to the company. Backlog is a great metric, but execution is the true measure. If you look at the company, I think we've established ourselves as very strong executors. Throughout our history, we do what we say we're going to do. Q5. The Iridium deal, which is pending completion, potentially opens the door for direct-to-device products. How do you see that opportunity, particularly against competitors? Peter Beck: I've been saying this for many years, and I think evidence from other companies has proven it out: the really large space companies of the future are going to look a little bit the same. They're going to have the ability to build satellites at scale, launch their own satellites with their own rockets, and have a communications business. Iridium is the entry point for us. It's by no means the endpoint. One of the reasons we like the Iridium platform so much is that it has a very unique spectrum. Its L-band spectrum allows you to do very unique things. Iridium has built an amazing business around safety-critical, defense-critical, and critical-infrastructure applications. That's something that will continue to grow. I don't think you're going to see us going head-to-head in the broadband market. That's very well served and is a tough place to be. But I think there's a tremendous opportunity in some of these more discrete and unique areas of the communications market. Q6. Talk to us about the Kepler deal, which you announced yesterday. Kepler Communications purchased a dedicated Neutron launch for no earlier than 2028. How important is that to the business? Peter Beck: It's funny because naturally a lot of people would expect that we should sell all of the rockets we have for eternity. If we were just a rocket company, that would be a great assumption. But we have to make sure that we have rockets left in production and available to launch our own missions, as well as for some of our defense customers who need assured access to space. Right now, I've never seen the rocket and launch industry so constrained. For us, we're extremely selective about who we give this very valuable Neutron capacity to. It was great to have the Kepler team on contract. We've known that team for a very long time. But it is a very constrained environment right now, and we have to navigate it carefully. Q7. What's the detailed plan for getting to cash-flow positive? Is it just a matter of time? Peter Beck: Yes, absolutely. Neutron, after we have the first flight and then move into commercial flights, is a huge inflection point for the company. And, of course, an acquisition like Iridium would do that immediately. So we have a fairly short time horizon to reaching cash-flow positivity. Q8. Looking at the acquisitions of Mynaric, Motive, and Iridium, are you hungry for more deals, or is there a pause in terms of the company's acquisitive stance? Peter Beck: Never done, never done. All of those acquisitions have been very strategic. I think launch creates a tremendous moat, and everybody can see that. It's the big show in the sky. But actually, we've acquired a whole bunch of component companies and scaled those. Components are just as much of a moat. No matter how much capital you have, if you just turn up and say, "I want to build a thousand satellites," you can't, because there isn't a supply chain there to provide all of the components for the spacecraft. For us, that's not a constraint, of course. But for other people entering the market, it's a huge constraint. So you'll continue to see us tackling those smaller deals on the side. Deals like Iridium certainly aren't going to be the last. And you shouldn't think of us as the L-band communications company. This is the first of many, I would say.

Beam just raised $7M! every year, over $150 trillion moves across borders. those funds reach everything from global commerce and payroll to humanitarian aid and migrant remittances. unfortunately, most of that money still flows through old systems weighed down by delays, fees, and opacity. we started beam (acq Modern Treasury) in 2022 to fix this. we knew stablecoins would be a foundation for a financial system that finally works at internet speed. a system that moves value globally, instantly, and transparently. but to get there, we had to connect it to the infra businesses already rely on. so we built something from the ground up: a first-of-its-kind payment service provider (PSP) that pairs the efficiency of stablecoins (the world’s first truly global settlement layer) with the familiarity of instant payment networks (RTP, FedNow, Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, etc.). the end result being the fastest, cheapest, and smartest way to get money into the hands of businesses, governments, nonprofits, and people. today, companies like Morse (formerly Sling Money), CoalaPay.org, Antimetal, Hyperspace, Braid, Shaga Team, Shield, and goldenvoice use Beam to power everything from bulk creator payouts and wallet top-ups to treasury management and vendor disbursements. it’s clear there’s never been a better way to move money from point A to point B. the last few months have marked a major shift in momentum. we welcomed Frank Pinto (Frank) as our Engineering Lead and Scott Elliot as our Compliance Lead. we’ve seen a surge in demand, we’re shipping faster than ever, and the timing feels right. regulations are shifting. corporates are jumping in. the market is finally catching up to the future we’ve been building toward. to keep up with the pace, we’re going to need more hands on deck. starting with a Senior AE to help bring stablecoins to even more businesses around the world. the next few months will be even more exciting. we have a lot on the roadmap to deliver more value to banks, fintechs, traditional PSPs, merchants and the builders modernizing financial infra at every layer. to everyone who’s supported us on this journey, thank you. building a startup comes with many sacrifices. but when you believe deeply in what you’re building, and you feel the momentum from partners, customers, and supporters… you know you’re on the right track. to our investors, Castle Island Ventures, Archetype, Arca, BanklessVC, Verda Ventures MiniPay fund, and Shack15 Ventures, we’re grateful for your conviction in what comes next. we’re now one step closer to connecting stablecoins natively to every instant payment rail in the world. P.S. huge thanks to Ryan Lawler from Axios for covering the raise! check out the article in the comments to learn more about this round

Thought for today…. I would like to thank Alexander Isak for his behaviour and forcing to leave Newcastle. I would also like to thank Liverpool for the duplicitous way they unsettled him. Why FFS you may ask? Hear me out… 1. The bloke is not a team player as he showed last season with his performances at the start and end of last season and we only want fully committed players at our club. 2. At some point due to the corrupt PSR rules we were going to have to sell a big player to enable us to move to the next level. It might as well be one with the lack of character and morality that he has shown. 3. Isak and Liverpool have handed us a massive windfall that has the potential to transform the club over the next few seasons. Without this we would not be able to move forward as quickly and we would all be waiting for the axe to fall on another star player. That is less likely now. 4. We now, potentially,have the strongest squad in my living memory (with the possible exception of Keegan’s Entertainers but who knows they may surpass even them) 5. The new CEO and Sporting Director (both of whom are top class if reports are correct) will be walking into a club that is united from top to bottom and in a very strong financial position. A club that has qualified for the Champions League in two of the last 3 season and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years. A club that is clearly on the up. 6. PIF will hopefully have learned lessons from what happened this summer and even though it was a little late they acted in the last few weeks and made sure the end to they transfer window could be deemed a big success despite the circumstances (next up get the CEO and Sporting Director in and announce a new stadium) 7. Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Jamie Reuben and Steve Nickson have cemented their reputations. In particular Eddie’s handling of the whole Isak affair has been a masterclass in diplomacy, hard work, and man management - we truly have an absolute gem and a gentleman leading the team. 8. In summary we have a club that is united from top to bottom, in a healthy financial position, a much stronger squad with players committed to the club, new top class senior personnel to be added very shortly, a second Champions League season to look forward to and hopefully more silverware. Thanks Isak (you are still a rat) and Liverpool (your £135m will move us to the next level head of time) HWTL 🖤🤍🖤🤍

FINAL UPDATE ON KENYAN AIRWAYS/GLORIA OMISORE/OTHERS The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority is initiating maximum enforcement action against Official Kenya Airways for a large number of consumer protection infractions. Frame 1: Official Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria apologized for the Gloria Omisore incident. Frame 2: The airline admits that they should never have boarded the passenger from Lagos. The airline failed to discover the lack of a France transit visa and flew this passenger to Nairobi where she had a 17-hour layover, only to be told that she would have to endure a further 10-hour wait if she must be flown to the UK. Passenger then asks to be provided care for that 10-hour period as she is bleeding and needs to bathe. The actions of the airline staff following her request were down to poor passenger handling. Gloria Omisore was not an unruly passenger on the first leg of the flight, nor was she rude on the Lagos-Nairobi flight. Frame 3: We put the facts of the matter to the airline and rejected the misleading official statement put out by them. The determination was for the airline to update its initial statement to reflect the facts of the case. There has been no compliance. Rather, the original statement that obfuscated facts, in all of its royal 'misleading-ness', has been allowed to grow wings and fly. Take the blog post by one Charles Onyango-Obbo for instance. The writer still asserts that Gloria Omisore blatantly refused the offer to fly to London. This lie is being told despite the admission of Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria, James Nganga, that the passenger only became frustrated when the 10-hour wait attached to that offer did not come with accommodation. This was a bleeding woman who had already experienced the inconvenience of a 17-hour layover. She needed to clean up, possibly have a bathe. If the airline was not going to provide the care, its staff could have handled the matter professionally. In the viral video, the airline's staff could be heard hurling insults and raising her voice in response to the infuriated passenger. James Nganga admitted in one of the videos below, that the staff's behaviour was against airline policy. The writer also claimed that the meeting between my team and the ailine held in Lagos. Simple research would have told him that the NCAA HQ is in Abuja. This is what happens when people are more interested in narrative-creation rather than facts. They know their audience. Frame 4. "Truth shouldn't be hard to tell." The NCAA gave the airline an opportunity to fix what was wrong. The airline has failed to do so. Earlier yesterday, the airline asked for an extension of one hour, after which they still failed to comply with the determination of the CAA. On Thursday, in a separate issue, the airline failed to send in a compliance report about a scheduled flight that was delayed for 7 hours with no compensation for the passengers. When confronted over a phone call, the Kenya Airways team claimed ignorance of the NCAA Regulations. We are sending them a copy of it. But, how can you operate in a foreign country with no recourse to the relevant regulations? How is this different from those who claimed that Omisore should have known the travel documents she needed for her trip? To this end, we are organising a retreat for ALL airlines operating in Nigeria to learn and relearn Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. One would expect that knowledge of all necessary regulations is essential. Added to the other long-ignored cases read out to the KQ team that attended the meeting, the CAA is dismayed by the actions of this airline. Cases of refunds not paid, lost baggage not compensated for despite admitting to losing them, and failure to honour commitments. The NCAA is, therefore, initiating stiff enforcement action against Kenya Airways. This action will go through due process. I have put our legal department on notice.

FINAL UPDATE ON KENYAN AIRWAYS/GLORIA OMISORE/OTHERS The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority is initiating maximum enforcement action against Official Kenya Airways for a large number of consumer protection infractions. Frame 1: Official Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria apologized for the Gloria Omisore incident. Frame 2: The airline admits that they should never have boarded the passenger from Lagos. The airline failed to discover the lack of a France transit visa and flew this passenger to Nairobi where she had a 17-hour layover, only to be told that she would have to endure a further 10-hour wait if she must be flown to the UK. Passenger then asks to be provided care for that 10-hour period as she is bleeding and needs to bathe. The actions of the airline staff following her request were down to poor passenger handling. Gloria Omisore was not an unruly passenger on the first leg of the flight, nor was she rude on the Lagos-Nairobi flight. Frame 3: We put the facts of the matter to the airline and rejected the misleading official statement put out by them. The determination was for the airline to update its initial statement to reflect the facts of the case. There has been no compliance. Rather, the original statement that obfuscated facts, in all of its royal 'misleading-ness', has been allowed to grow wings and fly. Take the blog post by one Charles Onyango-Obbo for instance. The writer still asserts that Gloria Omisore blatantly refused the offer to fly to London. This lie is being told despite the admission of Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria, James Nganga, that the passenger only became frustrated when the 10-hour wait attached to that offer did not come with accommodation. This was a bleeding woman who had already experienced the inconvenience of a 17-hour layover. She needed to clean up, possibly have a bathe. If the airline was not going to provide the care, its staff could have handled the matter professionally. In the viral video, the airline's staff could be heard hurling insults and raising her voice in response to the infuriated passenger. James Nganga admitted in one of the videos below, that the staff's behaviour was against airline policy. The writer also claimed that the meeting between my team and the ailine held in Lagos. Simple research would have told him that the NCAA HQ is in Abuja. This is what happens when people are more interested in narrative-creation rather than facts. They know their audience. Frame 4. "Truth shouldn't be hard to tell." The NCAA gave the airline an opportunity to fix what was wrong. The airline has failed to do so. Earlier yesterday, the airline asked for an extension of one hour, after which they still failed to comply with the determination of the CAA. On Thursday, in a separate issue, the airline failed to send in a compliance report about a scheduled flight that was delayed for 7 hours with no compensation for the passengers. When confronted over a phone call, the Kenya Airways team claimed ignorance of the NCAA Regulations. We are sending them a copy of it. But, how can you operate in a foreign country with no recourse to the relevant regulations? How is this different from those who claimed that Omisore should have known the travel documents she needed for her trip? To this end, we are organising a retreat for ALL airlines operating in Nigeria to learn and relearn Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. One would expect that knowledge of all necessary regulations is essential. Added to the other long-ignored cases read out to the KQ team that attended the meeting, the CAA is dismayed by the actions of this airline. Cases of refunds not paid, lost baggage not compensated for despite admitting to losing them, and failure to honour commitments. The NCAA is, therefore, initiating stiff enforcement action against Kenya Airways. This action will go through due process. I have put our legal department on notice.

Option analysis and tooling is now improved on OpenMarket First: the GEX heatmap is now more accurate, and you can pick how it computes. Two modes: Dealer flow (new, the default): dealer positioning measured from the tape. Open interest (classic): the standard convention, dealers long calls, short puts. How the measured mode works: Every options trade has an aggressor and a quoter. Whoever crossed the spread is the customer. Whoever was quoting and got hit is the dealer. So every trade tells us what a dealer just took on: you buy a call, some dealer is now short that call. We add that up, trade by trade, contract by contract, and keep a running picture of what dealers are actually holding. Giant prints don't fool it. A block 25x the normal size is almost always two institutions moving a position between themselves, not a customer trading against a dealer, so it barely counts. The totals get sanity-checked against open interest every day (our estimate can't hold more contracts than actually exist), and when a contract expires, its position leaves the books, same as real life. And when we can't see enough, we say so. If our tape covers less than 60% of a contract's open interest, we don't pretend: that contract uses the classic assumption instead, and the chip on the chart shows exactly how much of the board is measured vs assumed. The two are never mixed inside one contract. In classic mode, a "wall" is just the strike with the most contracts outstanding. In dealer flow it's the strike where dealers actually have the most to hedge. Usually the same. When they differ, the measured one is the one that moves price. The rest of the update: Double-click any options panel and it takes over the chart. The IV smile expands to show every expiry with its date, the GEX curve gets a live readout of flip, walls, and totals. Drag the sensitivity slider and the heatmap re-colors under your cursor. No reload, no flash. The blocky look is gone: the surface now blends smoothly between strikes. Six new themes for every options panel, new heatmap palettes, and a little legend on the chart that always tells you what the colors mean. Live now.

Bill Gates in 1984 on why he dropped out of Harvard and what actually drove him: At the time of the interview, Microsoft was on track to do "just over 100 million" in annual revenue. Gates was 28. His first big contract had come nine years earlier, when he was 21. The interviewer pressed him on the money. Was he a millionaire? Gates deflected: "Microsoft's a company owned primarily by its employees, and it's not easy to put a value on it." Then came the more interesting question. Was he in it for the money? Gates's answer: "I don't think anyone at the company's in it for the money. It's a much more exciting field than trying to measure exactly how much we're selling or how much it's worth. The creation of these programs is something you can sit down and see people enjoying and solving real problems." On dropping out of Harvard, Gates was direct about why he couldn't stay: "Things move very quickly in the industry and it was really the urgency to get out there and be the first one to put a basic on the micro computer that caused me to drop out." The interviewer then pushed on the "genius" label, acknowledging Gates as both a technical wiz and someone with the business acumen to build a real company. Gates rejected the framing but described what he actually did: "I enjoy working with the people, talking about what we're going to get done, getting real excited, making sure that the structure is there, that the ideas get measured properly and really leading the company. That's exciting." Finally, the interviewer raised burnout, a real concern in an industry where it was already common. Would Gates burn out before 30? "No." How did he know? "The work we're doing is it's not like, you know, we're doing the same thing all day long. We go into our offices and think up new programs. We get together in meetings. We go out and see end users. We talk to customers. There's so much variety and there's always new things going on. And I don't think there'll ever come a time when that would be boring."

Cihan of ep 2 showed us so much, even though he didn't say a lot. And had we started with this version of Ciho, the viwers might have understood him so much more. I barely recognized the Cihan in Budapest and that made me restless. This Cihan? This one we know like the back of our hands. A lot of people have written about why he's cleared out Alya's room. Popular reasons include anger, wanting to forget, trying to move on, etc. But, to me, this Ciho is waiting for Alya. He clears the room of items that weren't quintessentially Alya. But all of Alya's actual things? They're all still there. Packed up in boxes piled around the room. Not like someone moving out, but rather like someone taking their time settling in. And here's why. In s2, Ciho tells Alya not to take her things from the room and to let them wait for her return, like he's waiting. And even though Cihan is the one to say 'git' he says that while his grief is still fresh. But when the haze of sadness wears off, and daily life starts to take over, he realizes he can't do without her. Unlike the Cihan who could move on after the first bloody wedding, who left Meryem without ever looking back... this Cihan can't move forward. Because he's in love for the first time. You don't just stop loving on command. You can't bury it. You can't outrun it. And this Cihan understands that. He wants Alya back. In fact, I fully believe that he's also offended that Alya just picked up and left with his one word. He's thinking why couldn't she fight with me for me? Didn't I fight for her? She tried leaving so many times, but did I ever give up? Like a child caught between showing love and showing hurt, this Cihan wants to reach out to Alya. But he knows, that his words that day, created a barrier between them. Like Alya tells him in Budapest, she came back to take refuge within him, but he sent her away. So, he's stuck between living and dying, anger and love, and the heavy toll of all his obligations. And it's all suffocating him. This half empty room with Alya's things? This is the quietest confession of his feelings. His room awaits on the other side with all its comforts, but he'd rather spend his time among her things, still waiting.🥹🤧 #UzakŞehir #CihAl

The Cover Up: It is a fact that the 9/11 Commission engaged in a cover-up, and several of its members have said so on the record for more than a decade. But what exactly is being covered up? WTC Building 7: A 47-story building collapsing onto itself because of residual fires and structural damage might seem implausible at first glance, but if the building had been rigged with explosives then why were there no signature outward explosions like you would see in other controlled demolitions and why did the collapse look different from other examples? Also, if the building had been detonated, it would have been the largest and tallest building ever brought down by explosives (even today), and it would have had to be rigged over weeks if not months in absolute secrecy. Insider Trading: Just as with the collapse of WTC 7, the options trading activity on American Arlines (AMR) and United Airlines (UAL) stock in the days leading up to the 9/11 attacks may seem damning at first glance, but is it really? Here are four points to consider: (1) According to the 9/11 commission’s own report, a single U.S.-based institutional investor with “no conceivable ties to al Qaeda” purchased 95 percent of the UAL puts on September 6 as part of a trading strategy that also included BUYING 115,000 shares of AMR on September 10 (worth ~$3.4 million on the morning of 9/11). (2) Similarly, much of the seemingly suspicious trading in AMR on September 10 (resulting in an unusually high put/call ratio of 6.09) was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades. It is also worth noting that exactly one month later on November 12th, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after taking off from JFK, killing all 251 passengers and 9 crew on board. Three days before that crash the put/call ratio on American Airlines’ parent company was nearly 8. So how unusual is 6.09 really and why wasn't this crash also an example of insider trading? (3) Furthermore, the purchasing of stock options does not itself imply a directional bet. More often than not, options are used as part of a hedging strategy, so simply noticing that a company or individual has taken out a short position on a company does not itself imply that his or her portfolio will benefit financially if the stock falls and certainly not by the amount implied from the options purchase alone. (4) Lastly, it was reported by Bloomberg News on September 20, 2001 that insurance companies saw anomalous trading activities as well ahead of the attacks. Specifically, Citigroup Inc., which had estimated that its Travelers insurance unit would potentially have to pay $500 million in claims from the attacks, had about 45 times the normal volume during three trading days before the attack for options that profit if the stock falls below $40. Citigroup shares did indeed fall slightly below that target. While the options trading on AMR and UAL seem less likely to have been insider trading given the explanations provided and the easy traceability of the trades, the multi-step trade on Citigroup’s share warrants a better explanation IMO. That said, one may have already been provided, in which case, the public should be made aware of what it is if that hasn't already happened. What is Being Covered Up? While I’ve reviewed a decent amount of material on 9/11 in the last 24 years and spoken with many primary sources, the best book I can recommend that provides a more believable explanation for the nature and intentions behind some of the cover up can be found in Ray Nowosielski’s and John Duffy’s “The Watchdogs Didn't Bark”. Both authors appeared on the Hidden Forces podcast last September, as has former 9/11 commission member senator Senator Bob Kerry in 2018 and again in 2024. I should also mention that while the authors are well-intentioned, intelligent, and caring people, I’ve also received critical feedback about their interpretation of the facts from people who are in a position to know, muddying my confidence in event their own explanations. This said, it is clear that there was a cover up and that the cover up extends to the CIA and to the Saudi Royal family, but how benign the explanation may be will probably never be known conclusively. Concluding Thoughts If history is any guide, 9/11 is one of many historical events about which endless information will be reproduced, almost entirely in the form of fiction to feed an insatiable demand by the public for meaning-making and entertainment. The more interesting (and answerable) question to me, as someone who lived a mere 15-min walking distance from the twin towers on that day is why after so many years has this topic and others like it been elevated to the highest levels of public consciousness in my lifetime? I have a thoughtful answer, which is informed not only by my investigations into the subject, but also by my own life experience having been black-pilled in the early 2000s on this topic, knowing many of the early players involved in unearthing its details, and having been the creator and producer of a popular daily news program on Russia Today, on which much of today’s most popular right-wing programming would fit perfectly. If I had the time, I would write it all down, and maybe I will one day or perhaps record a podcast series on it. I'd like to, because we are living through the most profound cultural and political revolutions in American history and I don't know how many people truly understand how far back (and where) it all leads...

It is also worth noting that exactly one month later on November 12th, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after taking off from JFK, killing all 251 passengers and 9 crew on board. Three days before that crash the put/call ratio on American Airlines’ parent company was nearly 8. So how unusual is 6.09 really and why wasn't this crash also an example of insider trading? (3) Furthermore, the purchasing of stock options does not itself imply a directional bet. More often than not, options are used as part of a hedging strategy, so simply noticing that a company or individual has taken out a short position on a company does not itself imply that his or her portfolio will benefit financially if the stock falls and certainly not by the amount implied from the options purchase alone. (4) Lastly, it was reported by Bloomberg News on September 20, 2001 that insurance companies saw anomalous trading activities as well ahead of the attacks. Specifically, Citigroup Inc., which had estimated that its Travelers insurance unit would potentially have to pay $500 million in claims from the attacks, had about 45 times the normal volume during three trading days before the attack for options that profit if the stock falls below $40. Citigroup shares did indeed fall slightly below that target. While the options trading on AMR and UAL seem less likely to have been insider trading given the explanations provided and the easy traceability of the trades, the multi-step trade on Citigroup’s share warrants a better explanation IMO. That said, one may have already been provided, in which case, the public should be made aware of what it is if that hasn't already happened. What is Being Covered Up? While I’ve reviewed a decent amount of material on 9/11 in the last 24 years and spoken with many primary sources, the best book I can recommend that provides a more believable explanation for the nature and intentions behind some of the cover up can be found in Ray Nowosielski’s and John Duffy’s “The Watchdogs Didn't Bark”. Both authors appeared on the Hidden Forces podcast last September, as has former 9/11 commission member senator Senator Bob Kerry in 2018 and again in 2024. I should also mention that while the authors are well-intentioned, intelligent, and caring people, I’ve also received critical feedback about their interpretation of the facts from people who are in a position to know, muddying my confidence in event their own explanations. This said, it is clear that there was a cover up and that the cover up extends to the CIA and to the Saudi Royal family, but how benign the explanation may be will probably never be known conclusively. Concluding Thoughts If history is any guide, 9/11 is one of many historical events about which endless information will be reproduced, almost entirely in the form of fiction to feed an insatiable demand by the public for meaning-making and entertainment. The more interesting (and answerable) question to me, as someone who lived a mere 15-min walking distance from the twin towers on that day is why after so many years has this topic and others like it been elevated to the highest levels of public consciousness in my lifetime? I have a thoughtful answer, which is informed not only by my investigations into the subject, but also by my own life experience having been black-pilled in the early 2000s on this topic, knowing many of the early players involved in unearthing its details, and having been the creator and producer of a popular daily news program on Russia Today, on which much of today’s most popular right-wing programming would fit perfectly. If I had the time, I would write it all down, and maybe I will one day or perhaps record a podcast series on it. I'd like to, because we are living through the most profound cultural and political revolutions in American history and I don't know how many people truly understand how far back (and where) it all leads...
