**Vaisala Guards Against Impact of Solar Flares on Power Transformers*

*Scottish Power installs Vaisala's Optimus OPT100 DGA Monitor at a number of key sites throughout the UK.  *

Vaisala, a global leader in environmental and industrial measurement, has supplied leading British energy provider Scottish Power with a number of its Optimus OPT100 Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) Monitors. The DGA monitors are installed by Elimpus Ltd to provide real-time updates on the transformer condition at key sites. At a site in Scotland's central belt, the OPT100 will give continuous updates on a 1000MVA auto-transformer, helping to protect it against the effects of solar flares: periods when intense high-energy radiation is emitted from the sun's surface, causing radio and magnetic disturbances on Earth.

When coupled with local geology, solar flares have the potential to affect power transformers' magnetic circuit, leading to inefficient power transmission and significant damage to the transformers. The OPT100 will monitor for the impact of these currents on the asset, allowing Scottish Power to identify changes in transformer health as a consequence of solar flare activity and carry out proactive maintenance if required.

Traditional sampling methodologies have relied on manually-collected samples of the transformer oil, which are analysed in laboratories. By contrast, online DGA allows for greater proactivity in transformer maintenance and reduces the potential for inconsistencies in data analysis. The OPT100 is Vaisala's most advanced transformer monitoring solution, measuring moisture and seven different fault gases in transformer oil.

"Scottish Power has a number of strategic transformers on the transmission network that require advanced condition monitoring, and we have been increasingly wary of the effects of solar flares and geomagnetically induced currents to disrupt their efficient performance. The Vaisala unit was installed as it met our current specification of online DGA devices with the addition of being maintenance free," said *Keith Black*, System Performance Senior Engineer at Scottish Power.

"The OPT100 gives us the ability to track any disturbance that may occur and extend the lifetime of our transformer, as well as reducing the possibility of any unplanned outages," he added.

With online transformer monitoring set to become increasingly important, Scottish Power are installing more OPT100 units across their fleet of power transformers in the future.

Vaisala has long been at the forefront of innovation in online DGA analysis, and has contributed to the incorporation of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology. This ensures optimal condition monitoring performance regardless of operational conditions and enable operators to assess a wide range of gasses. In addition, with no consumables, the OPT100 requires no regular maintenance of its own.

"Advances in transformer monitoring including the incorporation of NDIR and online DGA techniques will be crucial not only to preventing catastrophic transformer failures,  but also reducing O&M expenditure for operators over the lifetime of their assets," said Product Manager *Teemu Hanninen* at Vaisala.

Vaisala will be attending Low Carbon Networks & Innovation Conference (LCNI), taking place in Telford, UK from 16 to 17 October.

Vaisala's technology experts will also be present at the Euro TechCon 2018 fair in Cardiff UK on December 4-6.

AFIRS to replace HF radio and provide aircraft health monitoring

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. *(TSX-V: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF) (the “Company” or “FLYHT”) today announced that regional low-cost carrier, Jambojet has selected FLYHT’s Automated Flight Information Recording System (AFIRS^™) for the flight crew’s long-range communications with operations and maintenance controllers. The system will replace HF radio communications and will provide additional capabilities to help the airline operate more efficiently, save money and enhance safety. The contract is valued at USD$650 thousand dollars, assuming the Company provides services over the full term of the five (5) year contract.

“Airlines operating in areas where HF radio is problematic are looking for solutions that not only enable communications, but also help them meet the GADSS, or Global Aeronautical Distress Safety System mandated by ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization,” says David Perez, vice president of sales at FLYHT. “FLYHT’s products enable airlines like Jambojet to reduce their pilot’s workload, use aircraft system data to proactively maintain their aircraft, and to meet the mandate.  We are pleased to count them among our successful clients.”

“FLYHT’s AFIRS brings satellite-based voice capabilities to the flight deck for global communications, and gives our operations, maintenance and management teams critical information about the health and status of our aircraft fleet, delivered in real-time,” said Willem Hondius, CEO and managing director at Jambojet. “The system is a key part of our plans to meet the ICAO mandate while also maintaining our aircraft to the highest safety standards.”

Integral to the system are several key applications:

· FLYHTLog^™ is an application that automates the entry of an aircraft’s Flight Log data, such as origin, “OOOI” (out, off, on and in), and destination. Such automation reduces pilot workload and increases log and real-time operational accuracy.
· The operational team at Jambojet will appreciate FLYHTASD^™ (aircraft situation display). It is a web-based application which tracks aircraft and reports position data at a programmable frequency, which will help Jambojet meet the GADSS mandate.
· FLYHTHealth^™ is an application used to monitor critical engine and airframe exceedances. Airlines can select several parameters to monitor, such as hard landings, maximum operating altitude, and maximum operating speed. Operational limits are set and because the data is transmitted to FLYHT’s UpTime^™ Cloud data center in real-time, airlines gain the ability to manage by exception and proactively maintain their aircraft to reduce operational delays, saving money.

*About FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.
*2018 marks FLYHT’s 20^th anniversary as a leader in real-time aircraft data streaming. FLYHT’s mission is to improve aviation safety, efficiency and profitability (located in Calgary, Canada; publicly traded as: FLY:TSX.V; FLYLF:OTCQX).

PHOENIX, Oct. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *CleanSpark, Inc. (OTCQB: CLSK), (The Company)* is a unique company that offers microgrid solutions for a variety of clients. Matthew Schultz, CEO of CleanSpark, Inc talked with Stock Day’s Marcus Heatherly about what they have to offer in energy and software solutions.“CleanSpark is a microgrid company, for your listeners who aren’t aware of what microgrid is, we take multiple energy resources, whether it’s wind or solar or geothermal, fuel cells, microturbines, and we build those into a single ecosystem. We add to that energy storage and then controls,” explained Schultz.

He said the purpose of that was to provide resilient power for customers who can’t lose power, for example one of CleanSpark Inc’s customers, the United States Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton. He explained they have resources there that absolutely must have power, a microgrid will provide that resiliency.

“We can also provide economic optimization. It utilizes those renewable resources to optimize the time they are accessed to save our end use client’s money,” said Schultz.

He also told Heatherly his company also provides a reduction in emissions. Heatherly then asked what makes CleanSpark, Inc. different from other microgrid companies.

Schultz explained that his company uses models to meet a customer’s specific needs. “We use utility data and weather data and consumption data and we build a financial model for our clients that optimizes a solution for whatever is most important to them. Whether it be resiliency, economics, or greenhouse gas reduction.”

Schultz also told Heatherly that Cleanspark has the ability to let clients participate in energy markets, giving them the option to sell surplus energy back to other users or back into the grid.

Heatherly then asked about some of the company’s clients. Schultz explained they work with medical marijuana growers who cannot lose power without also losing their crop, he also mentions cryptocurrency mining clients who are intensive power users. They provide the ability to overlay different power sources to store energy to use when energy costs increase later in the day. CleanSpark can offer them savings and tax credits for participating in renewable resources.

“We have a really broad section of users,” Schultz said. “We’ve even taken a luxury residence in California completely off the grid for less than it would have taken San Diego Electric to bring power to this remote area.”

Heatherly then asked how the projects are usually financed. Schultz says for the military clients, they usually own the projects outright. He says because CleanSpark is so unique there are many options for funding.

“We have the ability to fund projects either through fully financed solutions, through a PPA, which is a power purchase agreement, we have different capital partners that we can tailor a modeled solution for whatever the needs are of our end use customers.”

Argentum 47, Inc.’s CEO Talks about Recent Funding, Growth and Acquisition and a New Disruptive Technology Client with Uptick Newswire’s Stock Day Podcast

PHOENIX, Oct. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Argentum 47, Inc. (OTC.PK: ARGQ) (“Argentum” or “Company”)* is a US holding company. They operate 100% of their business through non-US subsidiaries in different spheres of the financial services world. Peter Smith, CEO of Argentum, joined Stock Day’s Marcus Heatherly, once again, to talk about exciting news in the world of crypto-currency.He spoke about their very exciting new capital markets transaction, Creditum. “We will commence in this quarter to take Creditum into a major international stock exchange, I can’t say which one at the moment. We are looking hard at the right alternatives,” said Smith. “Creditum is a unique business, they are taking off on the new way of the world with crypto-currencies being very much in vogue, but rather than issuing crypto-currency they are lending money to people that own crypto-currencies. To my knowledge, they are the only business doing this.”

Smith went on to explain that Creditum has built the correct algorithm to generate the proper lending structures allowing a holder of a crypto asset to obtain a loan in fiat currency. They are also looking at pre-paid debit or credit cards against crypto-currency that one might have. He says he sees Creditum as a game changer.

“This is exceptionally disruptive technology,” explained Smith. “We were appointed by Creditum this year to look at the alternatives for a Capital Market listing. We now believe we have narrowed that down to where we should be.”

He then told Heatherly that in the first two weeks of “Beta Testing” for clients, Creditum received 8,000 inquiries complete with KYC documents, an unprecedented number of enquiries in such a short period of time.

“If they had the system up and running, at the time, they probably could have landed US$150 Million Dollars in those two weeks, just staggering numbers in the Creditum transaction.”

Heatherly then asked if this is a service that Argentum 47, Inc. is providing or if they will also take a position in the company.

“We will take a small equity position in return for the service we will provide. We will be a shareholder of Creditum.”

Earlier in the interview, Heatherly noted that Argentum 47, Inc. is extremely undervalued at $0.0058, the market caps only $2.9 Million. He said it’s a very good time to get in on the Company with varied assets holdings.

“We have two core divisions. One is capital markets where we would assist companies going into the market, raising capital and taking a piece of equity in return,” explains Smith. “And the other part, which is now fast overtaking the first part, we are building, by acquisition funds under management or administration. So, what does that mean? We are buying up companies in the U.K. and Southeast Asia whereby those companies have client’s money that they manage or administer. It gives us the access for capital for new deals, it gives us access to revenue, and it gives us a wide spread of business.”

He went on to explain that this strategy allows them to be a full-service financial service Company, rather than the targeted capital markets Company that they were for the first 8 years of existence.

He also told Heatherly that the Company, Argentum 47, had just received a further US$650,000 tranche of funding from its funding partner and related to a much larger agreement signed in June of this year. This funding being convertible into equity at a minimum of two cents per share and only after one year and one day from the funding date. He said that the Company was in the midst of deciding how best to implement this recent tranche of funding as it is looking at a “tremendous amount” of acquisitions at the moment.

Apple has reportedly bought a music startup that says it can find 'the next Justin Bieber' — and it may give Apple Music an edge against Spotify (AAPL)

Apple has reportedly bought a music startup that says it can find 'the next Justin Bieber' — and it may give Apple Music an edge against Spotify (AAPL)· Apple has bought music analytics firm Asaii for under $100 million, Axios reports.
· Apple declined to comment or confirm the Axios report.
· Asaii's website says it can "find the next Justin Bieber, before anyone else."
· Apple is investing in companies with unique music data to improve its Apple Music product, which has fewer subscribers than Spotify. 

Apple has bought a music analytics firm, Asaii, for under $100 million, Axios reported on Sunday.

Axios notes that the company's co-founders now list Apple Music as their current employment on their LinkedIn profiles as of October 2018. 

Apple declined to comment or confirm the Axios report. But even if it's not a full purchase or there's another caveat to the deal, the fact that Apple has hired the Asaii co-founders underscores the company's plan for its music subscription service to overtake Spotify. 

In short: Apple wants to have the power to predict popular songs and match them to its users through better data collection and analysis.

Last year, Apple bought Shazam, the music-identifying app. But it was unlikely that Apple wanted the company's burgeoning advertising business —  in fact, Apple shut down its ads last month. Instead, investors told Business Insider that it was likely that Apple wanted the company's data, which could often serve as an early warning system for what songs are breaking out in a region. 

People at record labels loved to use a Shazam dashboard to find trending songs and doing analytics. Now, that data is Apple's. 

The Asaii news underscores the fact that Apple is willing to pay for data and software that makes its predictive playlists better. Asaii's website said that its goal was "to find the next Justin Bieber, before anyone else." 

Apple currently has 50 million subscribers, behind Spotify's global 83 million paying users. One of Apple's core philosophies centers around human curation: Apple Music has thousands of human-created playlists, as well as a radio station crewed by live DJs, including BBC veterans. 

But Spotify's buffet of computer-generated Daily Mix and Discover Weekly playlists are one of the service's strongest features, and subscribers love them. Apple currently publishes three kinds of individually customized playlists, but it's likely to want to create more, and that can help explain why it's spending hundreds of millions on music data companies.

Canada’s research community collaborates to increase the re-use of software tools to accelerate discoveryOTTAWA, Oct. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CANARIE, a vital component of Canada’s digital infrastructure supporting research, education and innovation, today announced 20 successful recipients of its Research Software funding call, announced in late 2017. This funding will enable research teams in applied sciences and the humanities to adapt their existing research platforms for re-use by other research teams, including those working in different disciplines. As a result, new research teams from across Canada will be able to re-use previously funded and developed software to accelerate discovery.

*What are Research Platforms?*

Research platforms are complete software applications that support most of a research project’s workflow (i.e. data collection, processing, visualization, and storage). CANARIE’s experience in funding research software for the past decade highlighted the fact that the research workflow is similar across most projects and disciplines. As such, CANARIE has updated its funding model to invest in software tools that are reusable across multiple research teams.

This funding is part of the Government of Canada’s $105 million investment supporting CANARIE.

“Today we are making it easier for researchers to share their data with each other, no matter where they live in Canada. Canada produces some of the world’s best science, and by equipping researchers with the software they need to make research more accessible, open and transparent, we are giving our researchers the best possible tools for future discoveries,” said the *Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science and Sport.*

“Software re-use lets research grants be used for the research itself, rather than for duplicated efforts in software development, enhancement, and maintenance,” said *Mark Wolff, Chief Technology Officer* *at CANARIE*. “Efficient use of research funding helps to position Canada as a leader in science and innovation.”

*Quick Facts*

· Budget 2018 committed to provide $572.5 million over five years, with $52 million ongoing to implement a Digital Research Infrastructure Strategy.
· CANARIE’s core purpose is the advancement of Canada’s knowledge and innovation infrastructure. This infrastructure is the digital foundation supporting Canadian leadership in the global knowledge-based economy.

As the Midwest's most extensive and affordable venue for exploring alternative spirituality in its many forms, The Victory of Light Expo is set to take place on November 17 and 18, 2018, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Much more than a "psychic fair," educational seminars, holistic healing sessions, live music, art exhibits, book signings and shopping make this a diverse, fun, family-friendly event.

CINCINNATI (PRWEB) October 15, 2018

The Victory of Light Psychic Festival, one of the nation's largest metaphysical conventions for the general public, has announced its lineup of more than 300 psychics, healers and exhibitors returning to the Sharonville Convention Center on November 17 and 18, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The two-day event also includes a record-setting 97 seminars on a wide range of metaphysical topics—such as astrology, past life regressions, angels, spirit guides, holistic healing, stress reduction techniques, aromatherapy—and much more.

“Open to everyone, the expo is an exciting mix of entertainment and inspiration. Victory of Light is a great place to recharge in a fun-filled atmosphere with live music, aura photography, art exhibits and lots of great shopping,” said Victor Paruta of Clifton, Ohio, psychic and Victory of Light founder.

“The 6,000 people who attend Victory of Light love the psychic readings and the seminars, which offer a one-of-a-kind, transformational learning experience.”

Featured Presenters & Special Guests

The lineup features nearly 100 internationally acclaimed psychic, holistic and paranormal experts from across the nation. Special guest presenters appearing for the first time include:· Julie Rieger, award-winning president, chief data strategist, and head of media at 20th Century Fox, responsible for marketing films such as Avatar and Deadpool. Rieger experienced a series of shocking encounters with the spirit world after the death of her mother, which she chronicles in her new memoir, The Ghost Photographer. She presents “The Wild Side of the Other Side,” at 1 p.m. Saturday.

· David Young, twice Grammy nominated musician and author, known for playing two renaissance flutes at one time in harmony, presents “The True Story of Jesus & His Wife Mary Magdalena - Their Life, Their Love & Their Family,” at 2 p.m. Saturday. (2 hours, $20.) David’s lecture will include musical performances inspired by Mary.

· Craig Holliday, meditation and spiritual teacher and licensed professional counselor, will present “Fully Human, Fully Divine,” also the title of his new book, at noon both Saturday and Sunday. His lecture will guide attendees to the discovery of their innate Divinity, and show how suffering is a doorway to freedom and empowerment.

· Tom Polson, representing the international organization The Hearing Voices Network (HVN), will explore the causes of unusual psychic experiences in his presentation “Hearing Voices & Other Extreme Psychic Phenomena,” at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Returning featured presenters and special guests include:

He will also lead participants to their own answers about ten areas of their lives using guided hypnosis at noon on Saturday. (2 Hours, $20.)

· Chief Golden Light Eagle, a Sundance and Hereditary Chief of the Yankton Sioux Nation of South Dakota, will present spiritual knowledge gained through a lifetime of prayer and ceremony at noon, Saturday and Sunday.

· Rosemary Ellen Guiley, prolific author of 65 books on the paranormal, will present “Effective Psychic Protection,” (2 p.m. Saturday) and “Interdimensional Paraphysical Sasquatch,” presenting evidence that Sasquatch is an interdimensional being rather than a “lost” Earth species (1 p.m. Sunday).

In past expos, the most popular presentations have been the free demonstrations of psychic abilities presented by astrologers, psychic mediums and clairvoyants hourly throughout the weekend, including Paruta’s popular “Ask a Psychic” session at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Nine seminars guide attendees to develop their own psychic abilities using techniques such as dream analysis, dowsing and tarot; 17 seminars provide insights into spiritual topics such as life purpose and dealing with negative energy; 24 seminars focus on holistic healing including free Reiki (energy healing) sessions.

Award winning Cincinnati musician and radio personality Ron Esposito will present his "Crystal Bowl Meditation Concert" Sunday at 1 p.m., and award winning Native American flutist Douglas Blue Feather will teach attendees "How to Play the Native American Flute" (flutes provided) at 5 p.m. Saturday. Lighthawk Mark Kenworthy will perform original keyboard compositions throughout the weekend.

The November 17 and 18 expo features some of the country's best psychics, available for personal readings; healers using techniques such as Thai massage and foot reflexology; and vendors creating a unique shopping experience with crystals, jewelry, art, pottery, essential oils, books, wellness products, herbs and exotic imported clothing. Aura photography and face painting will be available.

Expo tickets, $15 daily/$25 for both days, are available at the door, and include admission to all of the seminars except four two-hour workshops ($20). Parking is free; overflow parking is available at the Sharonville Convention Center’s overflow parking lot across the street and at Princeton High School.
