Robert Berkner- 602.380.7027
LAKE TAHOE, Nev., Oct. 26, 2025 / PRZen / Phinge® Corporation, creator of the upcoming Netverse® hardware-verified technology platform, today detailed a proposal for federal agencies to dramatically reduce waste, fraud, and abuse (WFA) in programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and others.
The Netverse platform will be accessible exclusively through patented, proprietary hardware. The proposal highlights how the platform’s core principle of “one verified user to one Netverse phone or device” could eliminate impersonation and fake recipients, moving beyond the reactive systems currently used by many government agencies.
This proactive approach will prevent WFA before it can occur, protecting taxpayer dollars and safeguarding the integrity of vital government services.
“The federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud, according to GAO’s government-wide estimates based on data from fiscal years 2018 through 2022. Additionally, federal improper payment estimates have totaled about $2.8 trillion since FY 2003—and the actual amount may be significantly higher because this is based on a small number of programs that report these numbers.
Using the above GAO low-end statistics and using the example of 100 million people in the U.S. receiving government benefits and accounting for a per phone price of $1,000.00 and adding 100% for program administration costs, the phones would be paid for in fraud reduction in less than 1 year.
This does not even factor in federal improper payment estimates. If improper payments were made through Netverse phones or devices to recipients, they have the ability to be timely clawed back.
Eliminating impersonation and fake recipients A cornerstone of the Netverse platform will be its hardware-based verification system, which will permanently bind a user’s verified identity to their individual Netverse phone or device. This will create a verifiable, tamper-resistant link between an individual and their access to services
Permanent identity binding: Unlike software-based identity checks that can be spoofed or bypassed, Netverse’s hardware-level verification will ensure that a recipient of government benefits is a real, unique individual. The principle of “one user, one phone” would make it impossible for fraudsters to create multiple fake accounts to claim benefits.
Proactive identity protection: The current systems used by government agencies primarily monitor for fraudulent activity after a user’s data has been compromised. In contrast, the Netverse approach will prevent identity fraud from the outset by requiring a verified, hardware-bound identity for all participants. This will stop fraudsters from using stolen Social Security numbers or other personal data to claim benefits illegally.
Secure benefit delivery: With each recipient tied to a single, verified Netverse hardware device, benefit payments can be routed securely and transparently. The system would eliminate the possibility of payments being diverted to fake or fraudulent accounts, as every financial transaction would originate from a verified user on their dedicated Netverse hardware.
Secure and transparent data access: By replacing fragmented, app-based systems with a unified, verified ecosystem, Netverse will provide a secure and reliable platform for government agencies to interact with beneficiaries. Every interaction is tied to a verified identity, creating a clear audit trail and significantly reducing opportunities for malfeasance.
Government agencies could purchase from Phinge and implement a plan where all recipients of government benefits could receive an authorized Phinge device for free or at a reduced cost.
If they did this, phone recipients could reap additional benefits through their interactions with Netverse in the form of same-as-cash rewards to spend dollar-for-dollar throughout Netverse and all its businesses and third-party platforms. This would include using their earned rewards to pay for their internet access and monthly phone bills through Phinge.
In addition, 1% of all gross dollars that would be spent through these phones or devices throughout Netverse would be donated by Phinge to local charities selected by users.
Phinge including its Netverse solution is designed to not only align with existing government regulations regarding data privacy, but will go above and beyond, by allowing its users to own and control their own data. This will provide a secure and powerful new tool for user privacy while protecting taxpayer dollars.
Phinge was founded and through Netverse® is being developed to disrupt today’s outdated App technologies, including the App-store duopoly, by partnering with and giving its users and businesses ownership and control of their data, enhanced privacy and a better overall mobile experience including their ability to monetize it.
Phinge through its upcoming patented Netverse App-less technology platform with proprietary AI, will be a better, safer, verified and rewarding alternative platform and technology for users and third party businesses and developers to today’s App stores, operating systems and ecosystems of Apple, Google and Android.

Partnership Allows for Dramatic Scale-Out by Leveraging Standardized Global Grid Data from Electricity Maps for Real-Time Integration with the BluWave-ai Platform
OTTAWA, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / BluWave-ai and Electricity Maps announced today a strategic partnership to eliminate data fragmentation and drive global decarbonization efforts across electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy storage optimization.
The partnership enables the suite of artificial intelligence software products from BluWave-ai, including EV Everywhere™ and Energy Storage Autopilot™, to scale deployment rapidly across new international markets by leveraging the standardized, high-resolution, and global grid data from Electricity Maps. BluWave-ai, as a pioneer in AI-driven energy optimization, has deep expertise backed by an intellectual property portfolio currently including 49 patent filings covering AI-based renewable energy and electric vehicle optimization.
From Fragmented Data to Optimized Action.
Across all electricity-intensive industries, companies face a major hurdle in acquiring and standardizing grid data which are inherently different at each utility. While integrating with a single grid is manageable, expanding solutions globally requires immense data preparation due to the vast array of incompatible formats and varying data maturities of grid operators worldwide. For global operators like BluWave-ai, which manage pools of distributed energy resources (DERs), storage and EV fleets across multiple regions, this complexity slowed down time to market and commissioning of AI products.
The need for a scalable, automated solution to manage this load intelligently is urgent with over 85 million EVs on the roads by the end of 2025. This will consume approximately 5.7 TWh of electricity per week, a demand comparable to approximately 143 large data centers over a week.
“By integrating the standardized API from Electricity Maps which provides access to real-time and historical grid signals across over 190 countries and zones, our AI models can adapt seamlessly without custom data preparation for each new market,” said Thomas Triplet, VP of Technology at BluWave-ai, “Our patented AI predictors and optimizers intake features from diverse data streams in a manner best suited to trigger high performance AI and generate our patent pending BluScore™ to forecast grid health in real-time. To enable fast time to operations, our team at BluWave-ai has built an interface to ingest from Electricity Maps activate our AI modes both for inference and continuous training. By setting up this system we have taken operationalization spanning multiple utilities from what could be multiple days or weeks to sub 1 hour.”
Real-Time Decarbonization and Optimization
The BluWave-ai software platform utilizes the data from Electricity Maps – including real-time grid signals for carbon intensity, power mix, and price information – to optimize customer operations, maximizing renewable energy utilization and lowering emissions globally.
Electricity Maps provides BluWave-ai with validated, standardized real-time data on grid carbon intensity and price signals, effectively acting as the crucial input layer. BluWave-ai’s patented AI platform then executes complex, multi-variable optimization.
Specifically, the integration enhances BluWave-ai’s product lines by allowing them to:
Dynamically calculating and scheduling energy assets (e.g., EVs, battery energy storage, and data centers) to maximize cost savings and minimize carbon intensity in real-time, a process that is unique to BluWave-ai’s proprietary algorithms.
Creating a federated, virtual power plant capable of operating across diverse global markets without the costly, time-consuming effort of manual, one-off grid integrations.
“A big hurdle to deploying AI-driven optimization globally is data fragmentation. Grid data is messy, inconsistent, and often requires bespoke integration for every single geography to work consistently with AI models that require standardized input features,” said Devashish Paul, CEO and Founder of BluWave-ai. “With a European EV fleet projected to exceed 12 million and spread across dozens of distinct national power systems, the challenge of standardizing grid integration to manage this massive new load is paramount. This partnership with Electricity Maps provides the standardized, high-resolution foundation our AI platform needs to operate seamlessly across countries and electricity systems, dramatically reducing time to operationalize and revenue from customers.”
“Our mission is to empower everyone, from developers to global enterprise platforms, to build a truly sustainable future by providing transparent, actionable electricity data,” said Olivier Corradi, CEO of Electricity Maps. “By integrating our standardized, real-time grid signals, BluWave-ai’s Energy Storage Autopilot and EV Everywhere platforms can make the most optimal decisions, ensuring that every charge and discharge cycle maximizes clean energy use and minimizes carbon emissions worldwide.”
Electricity Maps provides the world’s most comprehensive electricity data platform, covering 190+ countries and zones. Its API harmonizes access to historical, real-time, and forecasted global electricity mix, carbon intensity, and price data, enabling businesses and developers to make immediate decisions that reduce their carbon footprint and electricity costs. This standardized approach eliminates data fragmentation issues for global integrators like BluWave-ai. Electricity Maps’ data is used in building monitoring and flexibility solutions by companies like Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft, Cisco, LogicMonitor, and NatWest.
Founded in Canada in 2017 and backed by global investors, BluWave-ai is focused on driving the proliferation of renewable energy and electric transportation worldwide. Our solutions apply artificial intelligence (AI) cloud software to optimize the cost, carbon footprint, and reliability of renewable and non-renewable energy sources in real-time. BluWave-ai has raised over $16M to date, including a $9.5M Series A round. The company’s intellectual property portfolio currently includes 49 patent filings covering AI-based renewable energy and electric vehicle optimization, and it works with electricity utilities, fleet operators, and grid-connected enterprises across three continents.
AUGUSTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / Developed by Roof Savers® North America and formulated by its leading chemist Richard Winget, SmartColor Science™ will transform the roofing industry, allowing homeowners to change the color of their asphalt shingles while extending the life of their roof for an additional 17 years with just one single application. SmartColor™ synergistically functions with RocLoc™ and Microcraze VR™Technologies, providing the homeowner with the aesthetic beauty of a newly colored roof while simultaneously adding strength, durability, and flexibility to their preserved asphalt shingles.
SmartColor Science™ SmartColor Science™ changed this 15 year old gray shingle roof to a new looking brown without doing a full roof replacement.
Unlike color changing roof products, SmartColor™ does NOT use paints. A quick Google search teaches us that paints can ruin asphalt shingles because the pigments and dyes in paints trap moisture, cause mold growth, crack during expansion and contraction, and make shingles brittle, leading to leaks and weather-related damage. Absent of paints, Winget’s invention uses gravimetrically dosed advanced, inorganic colorants, formulated to complement and enhance the preservation properties in Renueit®.
“Paint was never meant to go on a roof,” said Winget, inventor of SmartColor™ and Renueit®17. “We designed SmartColor™ to work with the physics of light, not against it. By using purely inorganic colorants, our color system won’t fade, crack, or trap moisture, resulting in longer roof life, greater protection, and a more natural appearance. This innovation ensures long-lasting color stability without compromising the breathability or flexibility of asphalt shingles. Our patent pending SmartColor ™works on tiles as well.”
The Science Behind SmartColor™
SmartColor™ is a light-reactive system that enhances the natural color of asphalt shingles through the physics of light waves. Paints fade because its organic pigments contain double bonds, which the sun’s UV rays easily break down. In contrast, SmartColor™ uses inorganic oxides that contain no weak double bonds. Result: a UV-shielded, fade-resistant, color-enhanced roof that looks like new and remains protected for years.
“SmartColor ™ changes everything homeowners have been told about roof coatings,” stated Allen Childs, a founding member of Roof Savers® North America.” For decades, paint was the only option for color change, but it caused more harm than good. SmartColor™ is pure science, not paint. It enhances your roof’s beauty while extending its life.”
Roof Savers® Causes a Paradigm Shift in the Roofing Industry
Many roofing companies utilize ingredients like soy methyl ester which, based on their own data, only lasts five years. Renueit® radically changed the industry with its 17-year warranty, achieved with only ONE application. Deceptive claims of “up to 15 years” require three or more separate applications (every 5 years) and therefore, becomes more expensive and burdensome to homeowner’s long term. Roof Savers differentiates itself in the roofing industry by focusing on product development. With the SmartColor™, customers get a broad spectrum of color options (black, brown, reddish-brown and temperature reducing silver), without the detrimental effects of paints.
“What makes us different from most roof rejuvenation companies offering dealership opportunities is that we’re a technology company – all of our preservation products are invented, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house,” said Dan Delarosa, Chief Counsel and Scientific Advisor for Roof Savers® North America.
National Expansion Through Certified Dealer Network
Our Certified Dealer Network offers exclusive 50-mile radius territories, hands-on training, and advanced technology support. This dealer expansion model ensures consistent product quality, localized service, and nationwide availability of the company’s breakthrough preservation technologies. www.myroofsavers.com

IRS has a 10-year window to collect back taxes – but for many Americans, that doesn’t mean the debt simply disappears.
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / Millions of Americans with lingering tax debt may assume that if they wait long enough, their balance will eventually vanish. But according to experts at Clear Start Tax, the IRS statute of limitations – typically 10 years – is more complex than most people realize, and misunderstanding it can lead to serious financial consequences.
The IRS Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) generally gives the government ten years from the date of assessment to collect unpaid taxes. Once that window closes, the IRS can no longer legally pursue collection. However, the timeline can be extended or paused under certain conditions, often without taxpayers realizing it.
“A lot of people hear about the ‘10-year rule’ and think their debt just vanishes,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “In reality, the clock can be stopped or reset for a number of reasons – like entering into installment agreements, filing appeals, or leaving the country. That’s why it’s critical to know where you actually stand with the IRS.”
For taxpayers facing financial hardship, the expiration of the statute of limitations can sometimes provide relief. But waiting it out isn’t a reliable strategy. During that decade, the IRS can take aggressive collection actions – including wage garnishments, bank levies, and federal liens.
“The IRS doesn’t forget,” the spokesperson added. “They have powerful tools to collect, and they use them. The worst mistake someone can make is assuming silence means safety.”
Tax professionals emphasize the importance of reviewing IRS transcripts, confirming the actual CSED date, and exploring legal options such as offers in compromise or currently not collectible status – rather than relying on guesswork.
By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.
About Clear Start Tax
Clear Start Tax is a trusted national tax resolution firm dedicated to helping individuals and businesses resolve IRS and state tax issues. With a team of experienced tax professionals, the company provides personalized solutions for back taxes, liens, levies, and tax relief programs. Clear Start Tax has helped thousands of taxpayers regain financial stability and peace of mind.

Steve Smith, CEO commented, “The EMS market entered a cyclical decline in the second half of fiscal 2024 and the imposition and threat of tariffs added to the market malaise. As a contract assembler our business levels tend to trail general market swings leading to a strong finish to fiscal 2024 followed by generally smaller orders in fiscal 2025. We realized modest revenue growth in each of the final three quarters of 2025 and are very encouraged by the positive signs that began in the latter part of the third quarter of 2025, both domestic and export, suggesting that market confidence is returning. We believe that our extensive efforts to nurture existing customer relationships, and foster new customer relationships, is starting to pay off.”
The Company also wishes to announce that Steve Smith, Dean Tyliakos, David Barnett and William R. Johnstone were re-elected to the Board of Directors and Kreston GTA LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, were re-appointed as auditors of the Company for the ensuing year at the annual meeting of shareholders held on Friday October 24, 2025.
