Pembroke Pines, Florida – October 10, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
EPS Landscaping & Tree Service LLC, a Pembroke Pines-based landscape and irrigation specialist, is helping South Florida property owners adapt to Broward County’s year-round water restrictions that took effect October 1, 2025, through the installation of water-efficient irrigation systems designed to reduce consumption by up to 30 percent while maintaining healthy landscapes.
The implementation of stricter water management guidelines comes as Broward County continues its drought recovery efforts and emphasizes the need for weather-smart irrigation upgrades. The restrictions limit residential and commercial watering to specific days and times, making efficient sprinkler systems essential for maintaining attractive lawns while complying with conservation requirements.
“With these new water restrictions in place, property owners need irrigation solutions that maximize every drop while keeping their landscapes thriving,” said Greg O’Connell, spokesperson for EPS Landscaping & Tree Service LLC. “Our advanced sprinkler systems incorporate rain sensors and zone-specific programming that can reduce water usage by up to 30 percent compared to traditional systems, helping homeowners save on utility costs while supporting regional conservation efforts.”
EPS Landscaping’s lawn sprinkler system services include comprehensive property surveys to determine optimal watering zones, installation of rain sensors to prevent unnecessary irrigation during wet periods, and strategic placement of sprinkler heads to eliminate overlap and waste. The company also provides diagnostic and repair services for existing systems experiencing blockages, leaks, or worn components that contribute to inefficient water use.
The timing of enhanced irrigation services aligns with South Florida’s ongoing drought recovery phase, where sustainable water management has become increasingly critical. Modern sprinkler systems address common irrigation problems, including overwatering, underwatering, uneven coverage, and water runoff, all of which waste resources and can damage landscape investments.
Beyond new installations, the company offers upgrades to existing irrigation systems, incorporating smart technology and efficient components that adapt to weather conditions and seasonal changes. These improvements help property owners meet conservation goals while maintaining the curb appeal and property values that well-maintained landscapes provide.
“The transition to water-smart irrigation represents both an environmental responsibility and a practical investment for South Florida property owners,” added O’Connell. “Modern systems pay for themselves through reduced water bills and healthier landscapes that require less maintenance and replacement over time.”
EPS Landscaping & Tree Service LLC serves multiple communities throughout Broward County, including Coral Springs, Dania Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Pompano Beach, and Southwest Ranches. The company provides comprehensive landscape services encompassing irrigation installation and repair, landscape design and installation, tree trimming and care, lawn maintenance, fertilization, and pest control services. With a focus on sustainable landscape management, the company helps residential and commercial clients create and maintain attractive outdoor spaces that thrive within South Florida’s unique climate conditions while adhering to local water conservation requirements.

Memories.ai, the pioneering technology firm founded by former Meta Reality Labs researchers to build human-like memory for artificial intelligence, today announced it has received a landmark industry commendation. Following a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation by the influential security technology consortium, the Global Security & AI Symposium (GSAIS), the final verdict was delivered: Memories.ai Recognized as a Leading AI Video Recognition Tool for Surveillance. This significant honor solidifies the company’s premier position in the critical field of intelligent security and the broader AI industry.
The challenge of modern surveillance is one of immense scale and profound complexity. Security operations centers are inundated with a constant deluge of video feeds from thousands of cameras, generating petabytes of data daily. For security professionals, this presents a monumental analytical hurdle. Conventional AI tools, limited to short-term, isolated event detection, often fail. They lack the capacity for long-term temporal reasoning, resulting in a high volume of false positives and, more critically, an inability to grasp the nuanced, context-dependent narratives that connect disparate events over time. This informational gap forces security teams into a perpetually reactive posture, responding to incidents rather than strategically preventing them.
This is the exact problem Memories.ai was engineered to solve. At the heart of its platform is the company’s proprietary Large Visual Memory Model (LVMM), a paradigm-shifting technology that moves beyond isolated clip analysis. The LVMM ingests and structures vast streams of surveillance video over unlimited durations, building a deep, evolving memory layer that has already processed over 10 million hours of visual data. This enables the system to comprehend context, track developing patterns of activity, and instantly recall specific events across timelines stretching for months or even years. It is this unique ability to genuinely understand the “why” and “how” behind an event—not just the “what”—that made it the decisive winner during the GSAIS evaluation.
The symposium’s consensus that Memories.ai Recognized as a Leading AI Video Recognition Tool for Surveillance was a direct reflection of its unparalleled technical capabilities and profound real-world impact. The judges specifically lauded its ability to transform massive volumes of unstructured video data into predictive, actionable intelligence, drastically reducing operator fatigue and response times.
This industry-leading vision has attracted strategic backing from a roster of top-tier investment firms, including Samsung Next, Susa Ventures, Crane Venture Partners, and Fusion Fund. The company has also bolstered its formidable research team by appointing former Meta veteran AI researcher Chi-Hao (Eddy) Wu as its Chief AI Officer, further strengthening its technological leadership.
Dr. Shawn Shen, co-founder and CEO of Memories.ai, commented on the achievement: “We are deeply honored by this recognition from the Global Security & AI Symposium. It’s a powerful testament to our team’s relentless dedication to solving one of AI’s most complex and critical challenges. Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between machine perception and human experience, providing a true memory for the machines that protect us. As I’ve said before, ‘The last three years belonged to text; the next decade is video,’ and we are building the essential memory layer for that video-centric future. This award proves that a deep, memory-based understanding is the key to unlocking the next wave of innovation in public and private security.”
Founded in 2024 by Dr. Shawn Shen and Ben Zhou, Memories.ai stands at the forefront of the AI-driven video analysis revolution. This latest award not only celebrates its definitive application in advanced surveillance but also heralds the company’s central role in defining the future of how machines perceive, remember, and interpret our visual world.

Bangkok, Thailand – October 10, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Siam Legal International, a Bangkok-based law firm with over 22 years of litigation experience, has expanded its Cyber Law Unit services to address the growing threat of online fraud affecting both Thai nationals and foreign residents. This development comes as Thailand announces plans for a 200 million baht AI-powered centralized data system to combat digital scams, scheduled for deployment in the third quarter of 2026.
The new government system, managed by the Anti-Online Scam Operation Center (AOC), will connect multiple government agencies and enable real-time data sharing to combat fake calls, phishing schemes, mule accounts, and other digital threats. The initiative represents a significant step in Thailand’s efforts to protect individuals and businesses operating within its digital landscape.
Recent statistics from the AOC indicate progress in combating cybercrime throughout 2025, with reported decreases in scam incidents and financial damages. The success has prompted the government to upgrade the AOC to full departmental status, signaling a long-term commitment to digital security.
“The escalating sophistication of online fraud requires both technological solutions and experienced legal representation,” said Khun Sivasak, a Senior Lawyer at Siam Legal International. “Our Cyber Law Unit combines decades of litigation experience with a comprehensive understanding of Thailand’s evolving digital crime landscape to help victims seek justice, recover compensation, and stop ongoing threats.”
The government’s multi-pronged approach includes several complementary initiatives beyond the AI system. As of April 2025, amended regulations hold banks and telecommunications providers liable for customer losses related to fraud. The Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA) has launched the Thailand Digital Catalog to raise quality standards across digital services. Additionally, the Digital Skill Roadmap aims to train one million skilled professionals annually to strengthen the nation’s cyber resilience.
For expatriates and foreign businesses operating in Thailand, these developments are particularly significant. Many international residents may be unfamiliar with local digital threats and regulatory frameworks, making them vulnerable targets for sophisticated scam operations.
Siam Legal International’s expanded services are overseen by Khun Sivasak, who brings over 30 years of experience in commercial and corporate law, governance, compliance, and risk management. His career includes service on national committees contributing to legal policy development and anti-corruption initiatives. Under his leadership, the Cyber Law Unit provides both reactive support for victims and proactive advisory services on preventive digital security measures.
The firm’s integrated approach allows its cybercrime lawyers Thailand team to collaborate with property, corporate, family, and immigration divisions, ensuring comprehensive support for clients whose cases may span multiple legal areas. This full-service capability proves essential when cybercrime intersects with business operations, property transactions, or immigration status.
Siam Legal International specializes in various legal services including litigation for personal and corporate matters in both civil and criminal law. The firm maintains offices in Bangkok and provides services ranging from business registration and visa assistance to family law and estate planning. Their expansion into specialized cybercrime representation reflects the growing demand for expert legal support in Thailand’s rapidly digitalizing economy.

DA NANG, VIETNAM / ACCESS Newswire / October 10, 2025 / HVA Group has officially launched DNEX Digital Asset Exchange – positioning itself as the strategic architect of Vietnam’s emerging digital asset future. Unveiled at a landmark ceremony at National Assembly Guest House in Da Nang on October 10, 2025, DNEX represents HVA’s most ambitious initiative to date, leveraging the group’s proven track record in scaling technology ventures and engaging Vietnam’s most experienced financial, technology, and regulatory leaders.
Celebrating the official launch of DNEX in Da Nang – a collaboration that brings together technology, banking, and regulatory expertise to shape Vietnam’s digital economy future.
This is more than a platform launch – it’s the foundation of a comprehensive integrated digital asset ecosystem for Vietnam. HVA combines established technology infrastructure managing over 7 million users, strong relationships with leading financial institutions, and regulatory expertise gained through direct participation in crafting Vietnam’s digital asset framework under the government’s Resolution 05/2025 pilot framework. This comprehensive alliance is designed to position Vietnam alongside Singapore and Dubai as a premier regulated digital asset hub in Southeast Asia, with the potential to generate significant tax revenue while creating sophisticated employment opportunities in blockchain technology and financial engineering.
VIETNAM’S DIGITAL ASSET MARKET OPPORTUNITY
According to the 2025 Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index, Vietnam ranks among the top five globally in cryptocurrency adoption, with an estimated 17 million holders and over $200 billion in annual trading volume currently flowing to offshore exchanges. The government’s resolution 05/2025, issued in September 2025, established a robust regulatory framework requiring VND 10,000 billion (approximately $400 million) minimum capital, over 65% domestic ownership, and proven operational capabilities.
“Vietnam’s digital asset market represents not just commercial opportunity, but national economic foundation development,” said Nguyen Dinh Thang, DNEX Chairman and former Chairman of LienVietPostBank. “We’re building comprehensive systems to support Vietnam’s digital economy transformation, starting with education and preparation to ensure sustainable market development.”
DNEX Chairman Nguyen Dinh Thang shares the vision for Vietnam’s digital asset future – focusing on education, technology readiness, and collaboration to lay the groundwork for a sustainable market.
HVA Group has led extensive preparations since September 2025, developing regulatory compliance frameworks, assembling experienced leadership, and cultivating partnerships across Vietnam’s banking and technology sectors to position DNEX at the forefront of this market transformation. The assembled leadership team combines decades of expertise from senior banking executives, technology operators managing multi-million user platforms, venture capital leaders, and specialists in regulatory compliance – bringing together the depth required to navigate Vietnam’s evolving digital asset landscape. As a pioneering publicly-listed company with direct digital asset holdings, HVA Group brings validated understanding of the market dynamics and regulatory requirements essential for building a sustainable framework.
DNEX’s strength lies in the integration of experienced leadership with a carefully cultivated ecosystem of strategic partners spanning international technology providers, domestic banking institutions, and advisory networks. The initiative brings together former senior executives from major Vietnamese banks with proven digital transformation track records, technology leaders with operational experience serving millions of users, and investment professionals with deep expertise in Vietnam’s technology ecosystem – creating comprehensive capabilities across banking transformation, technology operations, regulatory framework development, and investment management.
Financial Institution Partnerships: HVA Group is engaging with Vietnam’s leading financial institutions, including major state-owned and private banks. These relationships will provide institutional credibility and operational capabilities essential for regulatory compliance. Leading securities firms are contributing market expertise that will enable DNEX to expand into tokenized securities and sophisticated financial instruments.
“We’re building an alliance that combines institutional banking strength, Onus Labs’ proven technology serving millions of users, and international expertise to create extensive capabilities,” noted Eric Vuong. “We’re not building from theory-we’re leveraging field-tested operations and establishing institutional relationships that will support a sustainable market ecosystem.”
Technology Infrastructure: The Onus Labs ecosystem provides established platform architecture offering immediate access to certified compliance systems, security protocols, and user management frameworks meeting both Vietnamese and international standards.

International Partnership: Vemanti Group Inc., a U.S.-listed fintech company, provides crucial international connectivity and credibility. Focused on Southeast Asia market expansion, Vemanti brings valuable partnership capabilities through deep integration with the Onus ecosystem, ensuring DNEX meets international compliance standards while maintaining access to global markets and best practices.
Investment and Advisory Network: FUNDGO Venture Capital serves as a key Vietnam technology investment fund, led by experienced investment professionals with track records spanning policy development, media strategy, and portfolio management, providing both capital and operational guidance for DNEX’s development. Pacific Bridge Capital contributes international investment expertise and cross-border transaction capabilities. TSS Digital Asset Management offers institutional-grade custody and management services that will ensure DNEX meets the highest standards for asset protection. Multiple industry associations, including the Vietnam Digital Asset Alliance, provide ongoing policy advocacy and regulatory guidance, helping DNEX navigate Vietnam’s evolving regulatory landscape.
PHASED MARKET ENTRY: SIMULATION TO COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
At the launch ceremony, DNEX introduced its methodical, phased approach to market entry-beginning with an advanced simulation platform before progressing to full commercial operations.
DNEX – Co-creating the future of digital assets. A symbol of innovation, transparency, and Vietnam’s ambition to lead the regional digital finance landscape.
Current Phase: DNEX Simulation Platform
The DNEX Simulation platform, launched as the initiative’s first operational component, represents Vietnam’s first digital asset trading simulation environment. This controlled sandbox serves multiple important purposes:
Market Education: Provides a risk-free environment for market participants, investors, and professionals to develop expertise in digital asset operations, portfolio management, and risk assessment
Technology Validation: Enables thorough testing of technical systems, security protocols, and compliance frameworks in controlled conditions
Regulatory Collaboration: Offers a demonstration environment for regulatory authorities to evaluate operational standards and assess readiness for licensing
Team Development: Supports training of operational teams and standardization of processes before commercial deployment
“The simulation platform demonstrates our commitment to building proper foundations,” stated Nguyen Chi Cong, General Director of DNEX. “We’re focusing on education, technology validation, and operational readiness-preparing the systems and processes that will support Vietnam’s digital asset market when full licensing becomes available.”
The phased approach aligns with both international regulatory best practices and Vietnam’s prudent financial innovation philosophy, positioning DNEX to transition smoothly to licensed operations once all requirements are fully satisfied.
“DNEX’s role extends beyond trading services-we’re building platforms to support Vietnam’s digital economy transformation goals,” notes Nguyen Dinh Thang. “This requires thinking beyond immediate commercial opportunities to consider how digital assets can support financial inclusion, enable new forms of economic organization, and position Vietnam as a regional leader in financial technology innovation.”
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND OPERATIONAL READINESS
The HVA-DNEX alliance has systematically prepared to meet every requirement established under Resolution 05/2025, demonstrating full readiness for participation in Vietnam’s digital asset pilot program.
Regulatory Framework Alignment: DNEX has established the foundation to meet all capital adequacy standards, developed security protocols aligned with international best practices, structured governance frameworks addressing regulatory expectations, and designed ownership structures prioritizing Vietnamese control while incorporating international expertise appropriately. The planned ownership structure maintains more than 65% domestic ownership while keeping international partnerships below the 49% threshold.
Capital Structure: The alliance is prepared to meet the VND 10,000 billion (approximately $400 million) minimum capital requirement with mandated ownership allocations, supported by commitments from partner institutions and investors, including HVA’s increase to VND 500 billion (approximately $20 million).
Security Infrastructure: DNEX is positioned to implement advanced systems incorporating international KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards, drawing on battle-tested frameworks from Onus Labs’ operational experience. This foundation provides tested security protocols and compliance systems enabling effective prevention of financial crime while protecting legitimate users.
Technical Capabilities: OnusChain blockchain infrastructure has been developed, tested, and operationally verified through existing deployments, providing DNEX with mature technology that reduces implementation risks while ensuring domestic technology sovereignty.

Demonstrated Execution Capability: HVA Group’s track record includes strong revenue growth demonstrating ability to scale operations rapidly while maintaining quality and compliance. The leadership team includes executives who have guided major Vietnamese financial institutions through comprehensive digital transformation while participating directly in crafting the regulatory framework DNEX now operates under, combined with technology leaders managing platforms serving over 7 million users and specialists bringing cross-sector compliance perspectives from highly regulated industries. As one of Vietnam’s pioneering publicly-listed companies with direct digital asset holdings, HVA brings demonstrated market understanding and operational experience. Rather than starting from zero, DNEX leverages existing user bases and operational expertise to accelerate market entry. Leadership depth spans decades of combined experience in banking, fintech, and regulatory environments, enabling DNEX to anticipate challenges and make informed decisions balancing innovation with prudence.
“Our systematic preparation reflects a deep understanding of what successful digital asset operations require,” explains Eric Vuong. “This assembled board combines regulatory credibility, technical expertise, and proven operational capability-capabilities we’re now applying to Vietnam’s regulated digital asset market.”
VISION FOR VIETNAM’S DIGITAL ECONOMY
Beyond commercial objectives, the HVA-DNEX alliance views its participation in Vietnam’s digital asset pilot program as an opportunity to contribute to national economic development across multiple dimensions.
Leaders and partners of HVA Group and DNEX unite at the launch ceremony – together building Vietnam’s gateway to the global digital asset market.
Capital Repatriation: By bringing offshore trading volume back to Vietnam, DNEX can help capture value currently flowing to foreign exchanges, retaining economic activity within Vietnam’s borders where it generates tax revenue, creates jobs, and supports domestic economic growth.
Employment Creation: DNEX’s operations in Da Nang International Financial Center will create sophisticated job opportunities requiring advanced skills in blockchain technology, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and financial engineering-offering Vietnamese talent compelling alternatives to emigration.
Innovation Ecosystem: By demonstrating that sophisticated financial technology ventures can succeed in Vietnam’s regulatory environment, DNEX can catalyze broader blockchain startup development and technology advancement. Success breeds success-DNEX’s achievements can inspire and enable subsequent waves of innovation.
Regional Leadership: As Southeast Asian nations compete to establish themselves as fintech and digital economy hubs, Vietnam’s early adoption of complete digital asset regulation could provide first-mover advantages. DNEX’s success would validate Vietnam’s regulatory approach, potentially attracting international investment and establishing Vietnam as Southeast Asia’s preferred regulated crypto hub.
IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP
DNEX’s development follows a structured phased approach aligned with regulatory requirements and market readiness:
Foundation Phase (Q4 2025): Operating DNEX Simulation platform for education and technology validation while completing regulatory documentation under Resolution 05/2025 pilot framework, finalizing capital commitments, and establishing governance structures with Level 4 security certification.
Platform Development (Q1-Q2 2026): Infrastructure completion-trading systems, custody solutions, KYC/AML protocols, and risk management-while securing regulatory feedback and finalizing partnership agreements with securities firms and fund management companies.
Launch Phase (Q3-Q4 2026): DNEX pilot operations with core products including Spot Trading, Staking, Derivatives, Custody, and AI Wealth Advisor, while expanding trading membership and testing cross-listing with international markets.
Expansion Phase (2027+): Scaling product offerings to include RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization, lending products, and global user access, while deepening partnerships with major financial institutions across ASEAN and beyond, targeting over 20 institutional trading members.
Each phase builds systematically on verified capabilities, with continuous adaptation based on regulatory guidance and operational feedback, ensuring DNEX’s evolution matches both market readiness and regulatory comfort.
GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY
“Building together – of the people, by the people, for the people” represents HVA Group’s commitment to transparent, community-focused development that aligns Vietnam’s cooperative economic principles with international financial standards. Sustainable success requires balancing stakeholder interests: users seeking efficient services, regulators protecting financial stability, investors expecting returns, and society benefiting from innovation. DNEX’s governance structures are designed to align these interests synergistically, creating infrastructure serving Vietnam’s digital economy development for the long term.
STRATEGIC READINESS MEETS HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY
The launch of DNEX marks a significant milestone in Vietnam’s digital asset market evolution. HVA Group brings together experienced leadership, validated technology infrastructure, strong partnerships with leading institutions, and systematic regulatory alignment – transforming from preparation to execution.

Discussion aired live on Bloomberg Markets: The Close on October 6, 2025.
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / October 10, 2025 / Monroe Capital LLC (“Monroe”) Chairman and CEO Ted Koenig appeared on Bloomberg Markets: The Close on October 6, 2025, sharing views on inflation risk, interest-rate cuts, AI infrastructure, and the path for mergers and acquisitions in late 2025. Koenig emphasized that policy clarity is the key catalyst for new financings and deal flow, speaking from the vantage point of a private credit platform with approximately $22 billion in assets under management.
“M&A can’t happen if there is not certainty. Financing can’t happen if there is not certainty. We need to project certainty into the marketplace… It is hard to underwrite when you don’t know what your costs are,” Koenig said on air.
Addressing the rate path, Koenig cautioned that additional cuts are occurring “into a market that is already hot,” noting that “the biggest challenge we have to be mindful of is inflation” with elevated everyday costs still pressuring households. He observed that visibility on input costs is essential for sponsors and lenders to price risk and re-start larger volumes of deal activity.
Koenig outlined sector positioning informed by Monroe’s diversified portfolio. “AI is on a run and there is no looking back… What I like is the infrastructure around AI – power, energy systems, engineering – things that AI needs in order to create infrastructure,” he said, adding conviction in outsourced healthcare services while remaining cautious on hospitality and container-dependent goods given consumer stress and shipping cost volatility.
From Monroe’s middle-market vantage point, Koenig said dealmaking momentum hinges on stability and labor trends in services. IPOs have been concentrated in technology, while core U.S. distribution, manufacturing, and services await improved certainty to re-accelerate M&A. He noted pent-up private equity exit needs and a more active secondary market as limited partners seek liquidity.
Monroe Capital continues to target resilient cash-flow businesses with durable B2B revenue, covenant strength, and liquidity buffers, while selectively leaning into secular growth tied to data center and automation demand. The firm’s portfolio spans hundreds of companies across North America, with a typical borrower profile in the middle market. Monroe currently manages approximately $22 billion and its portfolio averages about $25 million in EBITDA.
“We can underwrite high interest rates or low interest rates… After we get certainty, we can underwrite,” Koenig said, underscoring a disciplined, fundamentals-first approach to credit selection and structure.
The October 6th episode, titled “S&P, Nasdaq Rise on AMD-OpenAI Chip Deal | The Close 10/6/2025,” also featured Council of Economic Advisers’ Jared Bernstein, Yale University’s Gautam Mukunda, OpenAI’s Brad Lightcap, Principal Asset Management’s Seema Shah, IMF’s Tobias Adrian, Kearney’s Katherine Black reinforcing the program’s broad macro and market perspective.
