"I really like men who are neatly and smartly dressed, for example, those who wear suits," she said.

Valerann has been Awarded a €3.6M Contract by the European Space Agency to Develop a Road Traffic Monitoring Platform using AI and Satellite Data
Valerann, a global leader in AI-powered, data-driven road traffic management solutions, has been awarded a €3.6M co-funded contract from the European Space Agency's Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) program. Valerann, a global leader in AI-powered, data-driven road traffic management solutions, has been awarded a €3.6M co-funded contract from the European Space Agency's Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) program. The contract will support the development and demonstration of an AI and satellite data-enabled traffic monitoring and incident detection platform designed to enhance nationwide road network safety and efficiency. The initiative aligns with the BASS program's objective of supporting innovative services that leverage space technology and data in key markets, such as transportation. It is also aligned with the EU Global Gateway Strategy's aims for seamless, sustainable, and environmentally friendly international corridor management. Proven through deployments with leading public and private road traffic authorities—Lanternn by Valeran (LbV), Valerann's flagship product, helps road operators improve road safety. The advanced data analytics platform uses deep data fusion to process very large volumes of current and historical traffic-related data to instantly deliver a holistic, real-time overview of single corridor road traffic, including risk profiling, on a single pane of glass. It enables road traffic authorities in Europe, the US, Central and Latin Americas to adopt a proactive road traffic management approach while achieving a double percentage reduction in serious traffic accidents. Building on the success of LbV, the new transformational system, Lanternn by Valerann for networks, will feature crucial capabilities for managing national-scale road networks, arterial roads and intersections. These include superior holistic coverage of traffic and road assets monitoring, risk management, improvement of incident management and prioritization, while extending real-time traffic monitoring and predictive capabilities to underserved rural roads which often lack advanced monitoring systems. Satellite positioning information derived from mobile and vehicle navigation applications will play a key role in enabling these capabilities. LbV for networks aggregates data from various sources, including street side sensors, third-party datasets, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) derived mobility data transforming this information into an enriched, unified dataset to ensure a cohesive view of traffic flow across complex networks, including urban and suburban roads, beyond the simplicity of a single road corridor. Additionally, by leveraging GNSS data from fleets, LbV for networks enables real-time monitoring of emergency vehicles, patrol units, snow ploughs, and other operational assets, allowing national and municipal operators to improve response coordination and optimize road maintenance. Satellite-enabled weather alerts will inform operators of dangerous weather events such as hailstorms and ice risks, allowing for proactive planning and intervention. Investing in real-time traffic monitoring for both rural areas and motorways is equally important, as it can significantly improve safety, efficiency, and emergency response. 'This funding from ESA marks a significant milestone in our mission to transform road traffic safety and efficiency,' – says Michael Vardi, CBO and co-founder of Valerann. 'By extending our monitoring capabilities to large, complex road networks and rural areas, we aim to further reduce accidents and improve response times, ultimately saving lives.' 'ESA Space Solutions is pleased to support Valerann in leveraging satellite data and AI to improve safety on our roads. Developing the capability to cover national-scale and rural networks has the potential to further support accident prevention and improve overall traffic management.' – Christopher Frost-Tesfaye, Space Applications Officer at European Space Agency.

Cipher Fishing: Refined Tackle Choices for Improved Angling
Cipher Fishing has launched its brand to produce refined tackle for anglers. The brand was founded by manufacturing and business development veteran Ryan Chris and pro-anglers Cody Murray and Cody Meyer. Ryan Chris, CEO of Cipher Fishing, touts the company's products' performance, stating, 'As the CEO of Cipher Fishing, I am proud to introduce a tackle company built on the belief that success on the water starts with precision, not excess.' Chris is the current owner and operator of the tackle shop Idaho Rod and Reel. He has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and business development. Cody Murray, president of Cipher Fishing, is a decorated amateur and professional angler with three years on the Wild West Bass Trail as a Pro, two years on the FLW Toyota Series Pro, and one year as an FLW Tour professional. Cody Meyer, Cipher Fishing's director of product development, has been a pro angler for 17 years. He has 40 top-ten finishes and placed second in the Angler of the Year points for BASS opens in 2024. Meyer used cipher fishing products on the circuit, lending credibility to the tackle.' With combined professional fishing and business experience, this trio announced Cipher Fishing as their entry into the fishing tackle market. The self-proclaimed fishing junkies believe that the rigorous quality testing they put their products through sets them apart from existing companies. 'Unlike other brands that rush untested products to market, we do things differently, proving every product through rigorous design and on-the-water testing before it ever reaches anglers,' Chris stated. Quality and performance are the centerpieces of Cipher Fishing products. The Cipher Fishing team designed a hook around the tungsten ball head size, with separately manufactured coats and hooks to accomplish this. Meyer and Murray informed Chris that the refinement of their equipment separates professional anglers from amateurs. Pro anglers pay considerably more attention to their hook and terminal tackle choices. Meyer was frustrated with the lack of quality tungsten nail weights he used for Neko rigging. Meyer's frustration led to the design of Cipher Fishing's two keystone products: a tungsten nail weight and their premium custom 'Kotae' hook. Cipher Fishing's motto is simple and effective: Create the best terminal tackle available to elevate every angler's experience. About Cipher Fishing Founded by Ryan Chris, Cody Murray and Cody Meyer, Cipher Fishing offers tungsten terminal tackle for anglers of all skill levels. Their products are designed by professionals and tested in the toughest conditions to perform on the biggest stages.
