Denmark Buys Four MQ-9B SkyGuardians From GA-ASI
NSPA Supports Denmark and European Countries in MQ-9B Acquisition and Sustainment SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Denmark and the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) have announced the procurement of four MQ-9B SkyGuardian® Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. The purchase includes three Certified Ground Control Stations. Denmark joins a growing list of European countries that have selected MQ-9B for its multi-domain capabilities with exceptionally long range and endurance. The platform provides pole-to-pole satellite control and de-icing capabilities to enable missions in the harsh conditions of the Arctic in support of Denmark and its NATO Allies. Additionally, MQ-9B's in-house-developed Detect and Avoid System aids MQ-9B's ability to fly in unsegregated airspace for domestic civilian operations, making it highly versatile for operations from Denmark. MQ-9B recently became the first large remotely piloted aircraft to obtain a Military Type Certificate (MTC) from the UK's Military Aviation Authority, certifying its safe operation without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. "It's been a very productive year for our MQ-9B platforms," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "First, we earned MTC and now we've added Denmark to the U.K., Belgium, and Poland as MQ-9B customers in Europe. I believe the extensive waters of the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Baltic Sea of the Nordic countries make the MQ-9B a very effective tool for national maritime surveillance and security." MQ-9B SkyGuardian is the first and only unmanned system to offer multi-domain Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) as an internal payload that can search the ocean's surface and its depths in support of Fleet Operations. MQ-9B can also be fitted with a number of payloads including a maritime surveillance package with a 360-degree maritime radar and/or sonobuoy dispensing pods. This sale was aided and supported by NSPA, which has developed a contractual framework for supporting cooperation amongst its member nations and promoting the proliferation of MQ-9B in Europe. NSPA has added MQ-9B to its portfolio of defense systems to contract on behalf of European nations, with the goal of enhancing interoperability while facilitating training and joint operations. "This procurement demonstrates how NSPA enables efficient, effective and responsive multinational acquisitions for advanced, interoperable capabilities. We are proud to support Denmark in this strategic investment for national maritime surveillance and security," said Ms. Stacy A. Cummings, NSPA General Manager. About GA-ASI General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

Retirement Income Expert, Cathy Mendell, Launches Your Next Chapter
Live Coaching to Help Retirees Turn Savings into Lifetime Paychecks JACKSONVILLE, OR / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Retirement income expert Cathy Mendell, founder of Theia Financial, is launching Your Next Chapter, a highly interactive live virtual coaching workshop created to guide retirees through their transition from work paychecks to retirement paychecks. With coaching workshops for the public and private retirement readiness workshops designed for employers, Your Next Chapter provides those nearing retirement with a guided path to the vital components of creating a successful retirement income plan. The massive wave of Americans approaching retirement, who are the first to rely on 401(k)s and other defined contribution plans rather than traditional pensions, now faces a critical turning point. The shift from relying on employer-managed retirement plans to the sudden responsibility of self-managing their investments upon leaving the workforce has many retirees feeling uncertain, vulnerable to market risk, and overwhelmed as they realize the onus has been placed on them to convert their retirement assets into a reliable monthly income that they won't outlive. With 11,200 Americans turning 65 every day through 2027, the need for guidance has never been greater. Cathy Mendell has provided one-on-one coaching to hundreds of retirees as they transition from the accumulation phase of retirement, while working, to the decumulation phase upon retirement. With her proprietary framework, TheiaPath, she offers more than just a "probability of success"; she delivers a step-by-step process to help clients maximize their monthly retirement income and protect themselves against the financial threats of longevity, inflation, taxes, and sequence-of-returns risk in the stock market. Through Your Next Chapter, Mendell now opens up the TheiaPath framework in the form of group coaching workshops where participants can engage, ask questions, and get answers in real-time. Here, they will define retirement goals, map out lifestyle expenses, learn about withdrawal tax strategies, discover guaranteed income options, and begin to build a retirement paycheck plan they can count on for life. "Too many retirees are stuck hoping their savings will last, with no clear plan or income strategy. Your Next Chapter changes that. This is more than coaching, it's a lifeline," said Cathy Mendell, Founder of Theia Financial. "I created this program to give everyday Americans access to the information they need to begin creating a clear path to predictable income, peace of mind, and a retirement they can actually enjoy." About Cathy Mendell & Theia Financial: Cathy Mendell is a nationally recognized retirement income strategist and the founder of Theia Financial. Known for her holistic and personalized approach, Cathy has helped hundreds of individuals navigate the complex transition from saving to generating reliable retirement income. Her proprietary framework, TheiaPath, offers clients a 7-step process and a written blueprint for securing a guaranteed lifetime income, enabling them to retire with clarity, security, and peace of mind. Theia Financial is built on the belief that trust, transparency, and education are non-negotiables in financial planning. Beyond her financial work, Cathy is also deeply committed to global philanthropic efforts, including her support of the Orphanages of Kenya initiative. Her mantra reflects her mission: "Without reliable lifetime income, there is no retirement."

Transitioning to Tech During the AI Frenzy? Yellow Tail Tech Makes It Possible
Yellow Tail Tech Offers a Clear Path for Career Changers to Thrive in an Era of Automation MARYLAND CITY, MD / ACCESS Newswire / July 22, 2025 / As artificial intelligence reshapes industries at breakneck speed, millions of workers are wondering: Will my job survive the AI revolution? From automated customer support to AI-driven logistics and smart manufacturing, technology is transforming how businesses operate - and how people build careers. While these changes have sparked fear about job losses and disruption, experts at Yellow Tail Tech say the AI frenzy is also creating unprecedented opportunities for those willing to reskill and embrace new technologies. "AI isn't just taking jobs - it's creating entire categories of work that didn't exist five years ago," said Jubee Vilceus, CEO and co-founder of Yellow Tail Tech, a training company helping adults with no IT background launch technology careers. "The people who thrive will be those who learn how to work alongside intelligent systems rather than fear them." The AI Tidal Wave Is Here Recent data from the World Economic Forum forecasts that automation and AI will disrupt at least 85 million jobs by 2030, but they will also generate 97 million new roles that require a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving, and human judgment. Across every sector - healthcare, finance, education, retail - organizations are racing to adopt AI-powered tools. These tools are designed to help businesses work faster, reduce errors, and make smarter decisions. But most people overlook a critical detail: all that intelligence needs to run on something, and that something is a massive computing infrastructure. The Invisible Engine Behind AI With the rise of artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude, the need for computing power is exploding. Some experts estimate that the compute demand from AI models is increasing by 100X, and it's not slowing down. But AI doesn't just exist in the cloud-it lives on physical machines: high-performance servers housed in data centers around the world. These data centers don't run themselves. Behind every AI-powered chatbot, recommendation engine, or autonomous system is a complex stack of infrastructure, most of which runs on Linux. Linux is the operating system of choice for more than 90% of the world's cloud infrastructure, including servers used by Google, Amazon, Meta, and most government institutions. "This is the part people don't see," Jubee explained. "They hear about AI automating everything, but they don't realize there's a huge demand for people who can maintain, secure, and optimize the systems AI runs on." That demand isn't going away. If anything, it's growing faster than ever. AI may change what we see on the surface - automated emails, personalized recommendations, voice assistants - but behind it are teams of infrastructure professionals who configure networks, troubleshoot systems, and make sure everything runs smoothly. And those professionals need to understand Linux. Can Today's Workforce Survive the AI Transition? Many mid-career professionals worry they will be left behind. According to Yellow Tail Tech, it is possible to transition successfully, especially for those who take proactive steps to upskill. "People underestimate how much transferable experience they already have," Paloma added. "Skills like communication, project management, and critical thinking are still invaluable. You just need to layer on technical knowledge." Yellow Tail Tech has seen thousands of students pivot from fields like retail, hospitality, and administration into technology roles in less than a year. Their success proves that with the right guidance, ordinary professionals can become extraordinary contributors to the AI economy. That is why Yellow Tail Tech's programs were created specifically for adult learners with no IT background. Their flagship Lnx for Jobs program teaches Linux system administration - a foundational skill that supports nearly every major AI and cloud infrastructure deployment. Tips for Coping with AI's Impact on Your Career To help workers feel less overwhelmed by AI's rapid expansion, Yellow Tail Tech recommends the following strategies: 1. Stay Informed, Not PanickedThe first step is understanding which technologies are emerging in your field. Subscribe to industry newsletters, attend webinars, and explore how AI is being applied in your sector. Knowledge replaces fear with clarity. 2. Identify Transferable SkillsList the strengths you already have - like customer service, process improvement, or team leadership. These capabilities often translate well to tech-adjacent roles, such as project coordinator, support specialist, or operations analyst. 3. Learn the Basics of AutomationFamiliarity with tools like Linux, cloud platforms, and simple scripting can make you more adaptable. Even foundational knowledge gives you the confidence to collaborate with technical teams. 4. Choose a SpecializationAs AI grows, companies need specialists to maintain and secure their systems. Roles like Linux System Administrator, Cloud Support Specialist, and DevOps Engineer are in high demand because they enable automation to function effectively. 5. Build a Professional NetworkSurround yourself with peers who are also transitioning to tech. Networking can lead to mentorship, job referrals, and valuable insights about emerging trends. 6. Seek Structured TrainingInstead of piecing together random tutorials, enroll in a program designed to take you from beginner to job-ready. Yellow Tail Tech's Lnx for Jobs offers a guided path with instructor-led lessons and career coaching. Building a Future-Proof Career As AI continues to transform industries, the ability to adapt will define professional success. Workers who take the initiative to learn foundational technologies and build specialized skills will be better prepared to thrive in the coming decade. Jubee concluded that AI is not something to run away from but rather something to embrace. He emphasized that by investing in skills today, professionals will be ready to help shape what comes next. About Yellow Tail Tech Yellow Tail Tech helps adults with no IT background build rewarding careers in technology. Through live instruction, hands-on labs, and personalized career coaching, the company empowers learners to develop in-demand skills and step confidently into the future of work.
