Nova Scotia, Canada, 3rd April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Mark Andrew Kozlowski, a marine technology entrepreneur and environmental advocate, has been featured in an exclusive interview with Inspirey, offering readers a rare inside look at his journey, philosophy, and vision for the future of ocean-based industries. In this deep-dive Q&A, Kozlowski discusses how his upbringing on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia shaped his career, and how he’s using AI and clean energy to drive change in marine sustainability.

Kozlowski is the founder and CEO of Blue Horizon Technologies, a company developing scalable tools and solutions to help ocean-based industries thrive while protecting the marine ecosystems they rely on. From offshore wind and tidal energy to AI-powered monitoring systems, Kozlowski’s mission is to show that business and environmental stewardship can not only coexist but reinforce one another.

“The ocean is vital to our economies and way of life,” Kozlowski says in the interview. “But we’re depleting it at an alarming rate. I couldn’t accept that we had to choose between economic growth and environmental stewardship. We can and must do both.”

In the exclusive interview, he reflects on the slow and challenging path of founding Blue Horizon Technologies, the skepticism he faced from both business and environmental circles, and the early failures that helped shape the company’s mission. By emphasizing real-world impact and scalable results, Kozlowski and his team have proven that ocean tech solutions can work in practice, not just in theory.

Kozlowski also shares his leadership style—anchored in clarity, purpose, and patience—and explains why businesses that embed sustainability from day one have a competitive advantage. He discusses the role of education in shifting mindsets and his commitment to preparing future generations for a world where ocean conservation is not a luxury, but a necessity.

“People often think they have to choose between science and business, or tech and ethics,” he says. “You don’t. The world needs more people who understand both sides and can build bridges.”

With new projects on the horizon—including global integration of marine data systems and low-impact tidal infrastructure—Kozlowski continues to push the boundaries of innovation. But at the heart of it all is his unwavering belief that the health of the ocean is tied directly to the health of our future.

Kirk W Bonsal Reveals the Truth About Police Force

Published

October 24, 2025

By

United States, 24th Oct 2025 – With nearly four decades of service in law enforcement, Kirk W. Bonsal brings unparalleled depth, experience, and humanity to his new book, Use of Force. Drawing from years of investigative leadership, training, and public service, Bonsal offers readers an informed and reflective look at the realities of police work, without judgment, bias, or sensationalism.

Having served as a detective sergeant, police chief, and now Chief Deputy overseeing a department of more than 200 peace officers, Bonsal’s leadership journey spans the full spectrum of modern policing. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, a certified Force Analyst, and a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, whose commitment to justice and community safety has shaped every chapter of his professional life.

Use of Force is written not as an argument but as an exploration. Through clear explanations and first-hand understanding, Bonsal helps readers see how officers are trained, how they make decisions under pressure, and what it truly means to serve in situations where every second counts. His goal is not to engage in legal or political debate but to inform, clarify, and educate, bridging the gap between public perception and the daily realities of law enforcement.

Throughout his career, Bonsal has led hundreds of investigations, taught criminal justice at the college level, and trained professionals nationwide. His decades of experience have given him a rare perspective, one that values both accountability and empathy. In Use of Force, he applies that same perspective to illuminate the complexities of leadership, human decision-making, and the high expectations placed on today’s officers.

“This book isn’t written to defend or accuse,” Bonsal explains. “It’s written to understand.”

More than a professional handbook, Use of Force stands as a thoughtful reflection on a demanding profession, one that requires courage, restraint, and a commitment to lifelong learning. It invites readers from all backgrounds to look beyond headlines and see the individuals behind the badge: men and women navigating challenges that test judgment, character, and resolve.

With a voice shaped by experience and humility, Kirk W. Bonsal presents a balanced and grounded narrative, one that honors the calling of public service while encouraging continued growth within the field.

Use of Force is now available wherever books are sold, including Amazon and other major retailers.

Raffles Financial Group Ltd (CSE: RICH) and CICADA Finance Partner to Launch Raffles Crypto Treasury

Published

October 24, 2025

By

Singapore – October 23, 2025 – Raffles Financial Group Ltd (CSE: RICH) (“Raffles Financial”), a diversified financial services company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, today announced a strategic collaboration with CICADA Finance, a leading on-chain asset management protocol. Together, the two firms will launch the Raffles Reserve Treasury (“RRT”), an innovative digital asset designed to integrate high-growth cryptocurrencies into trade finance for IPO-ready companies.

A New Era of Digital Trade Finance

This collaboration bridges traditional corporate finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), creating a unique model for tokenized trade finance. The initiative combines Raffles Financial’s track record in public listings, compliance, and corporate finance with CICADA Finance’s expertise in tokenomics, Web3 asset structuring, and decentralized asset management.

Under this cooperation, both organizations will advance the structuring of tokenized assets, Real World Assets (RWA), smart contract issuance, token circulation mechanisms, settlement systems, and security and risk control frameworks. The goal is to unlock the exponential demand for crypto assets and decentralized financial markets while providing robust, institutional-grade financial products.

 

 

 

 

The Proposed Raffles Reserve Treasury (“RRT”)

The RRT will be issued through a Singapore-incorporated special purpose vehicle, leveraging Singapore’s progressive digital finance framework. As exemplified by Token2049, the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference, being held in Singapore during the first week of October.  The conference brought together over 25,000 global investors to Singapore.

The RRT is designed to serve as a core value carrier, offering governance participation, platform access, and economic incentives to its holders. Inspired by strategies adopted by pioneers like MicroStrategy, Gamestop, the RRT will issue perpetual bond units to fund a diversified Cryptocurrency Treasury (CT) portfolio across assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Solana, and Chainlink.

The CT portfolio will act as collateral for both stablecoin issuance and revolving trade finance credit facilities, ensuring IPO-ready clients can accelerate growth while preparing for North American listings. For investors, this model generates value through arrangement fees and opportunities to purchase clients’ IPO shares at pre-IPO discounts.

 

Leadership Commentary

 

Dr. Charlie In, Chairman of Raffles Financial Group Ltd, said:

“The Raffles Reserve Treasury combines the rigor of traditional finance with the innovation of DeFi, enabling IPO-ready clients to secure scalable capital and stronger valuations for North American listings.”

 

Dr. In is a seasoned capital markets leader with decades of experience guiding companies to IPOs across Asia and North America.

 

Gary Yang, CEO of CICADA Finance, commented:

“The RRT is more than a digital treasury—it’s a bridge between institutional finance and decentralized ecosystems, opening new pathways for sustainable crypto-backed trade finance.”

Mr. Yang is a veteran investor with 15 years in venture capital and funds-of-funds, having backed over 120 companies and 15 funds globally.

 

Iris Yu, Incubation Investor at CICADA Finance, added:

“The RRT offers a new liquidity framework, allowing clients to leverage crypto assets for trade finance while building momentum toward IPOs on North American exchanges.”

Ms. Yu is a blockchain pioneer and early investor in Binance and Bybit, with a portfolio of 100+ projects spanning exchanges, infrastructure, and DeFi.

Aussivo Debuts Trust-First Cloud Infrastructure At Blockchain Life Dubai

Published

on

October 23, 2025

By

22 October 2025 – Dubai, UAE – Enterprises lose billions annually due to cloud misconfigurations, vendor opacity, and security breaches. Aussivo enhances existing cloud infrastructure with the Verifiable Cloud Layer, an auditable, tamper-resistant foundation that brings blockchain-grade integrity and transparency to modern cloud environments. Built for scale, speed, and zero-trust architectures, Aussivo strengthens cloud operations without replacing them.

Aussivo will attend the Blockchain Life Dubai 2025 (October 28th–29th, Festival Arena), joining as one of the event sponsors and a participant in the Startup Pitch competition. Aussivo’s team will be at Booth C, and they will also present their initiative on stage.

Introducing The Verifiable Cloud Layer

Aussivo’s Verifiable Cloud Layer is an enhancement to existing cloud infrastructure, designed to strengthen trust, accountability, and transparency without disrupting current systems.

It introduces a tamper-resistant architecture underpinned by cryptographic security, enabling immutable audit trails for all cloud operations. This layer also delivers real-time visibility across complex, multi-stakeholder environments, while ensuring cryptographic integrity through a zero-trust design.

Private ICO Market Opportunity Now Open

As part of its next phase of growth, strategic allocation in Aussivo’s Private ICO is now open to institutional investors, node operators, and early ecosystem partners.

This is a limited-time opportunity to help shape a category-defining platform, built to power the next generation of secure, auditable, and verifiable cloud infrastructure. Early commitment also means influence, exclusivity, and position at the forefront of a rapidly expanding market.

The Future Of Infrastructure Is Verifiable

As industries accelerate toward decentralized and regulated environments, the demand for secure, transparent, and audit-ready infrastructure is growing fast. Aussivo’s architecture supports this shift, enabling enterprises, node operators, and developers to build with confidence.

Moreover, a Secure Proof-of-Stake (SPoS) consensus and ZK-rollups underpin the network. The platform is designed to process up to 15,000 TPS while maintaining cryptographic trust. 

Additionally, the Gastank Protocol abstracts gas fees across chains, allowing seamless cross-chain transactions using the $ASVO token, a universal settlement asset across the Aussivo network.

Beyond performance, Aussivo focuses on enterprise integration. The platform includes:

  • AI-powered security agents with ZK-proofs for tamper resistance
  • Wallet-free onboarding and gasless transactions for better user experience
  • Advanced developer tools through an AI Marketplace with instant dApp deployment

In this way, Aussivo isn’t just supporting Web3, but is actively upgrading it, eliminating the friction holding back enterprise adoption.

Vision Backed By Growth

According to Messari, the DePIN TAM (Total Addressable Market) is projected to reach up to $3.5 trillion by 2028 as crypto and AI converge. Aussivo is positioned to lead this growth, enabling decentralized compute, storage, and networking, all verified in real time on-chain.

With cyberattacks rising and regulations tightening, demand for Cybersecurity-as-a-Service is projected to reach approximately $250 billion by 2030. Aussivo addresses this with enterprise-grade tooling, AI automation, and transparent cloud integrity that aligns with global compliance requirements.

Early pilot programs and rising demand signal an increase of up to 10x in network usage within the first two years, driven by developer adoption, node expansion, and enterprise deployments across finance, IoT, gaming, and government.

About Aussivo
Aussivo is redefining cloud infrastructure by replacing blind trust with verifiable truth. Built for enterprises, institutions, and mission-critical applications, Aussivo delivers infrastructure that’s transparent, auditable, and tamper-proof by design.

Unlike platforms that focus solely on throughput and buzzwords, Aussivo prioritizes trust, enabling organizations to run operations with confidence in the integrity of their data, systems, and processes. Aussivo is not here to replace the cloud but to enhance it, delivering real-world solutions built for scalable adoption.
