Abercrombie & Fitch Co. Pledges Financial Support for Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Behavioral Health Initiatives

PR Newswire

Funding will support behavioral health crisis services at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and provide free educational resources through The Kids Mental Health Foundation. 


COLUMBUS, Ohio
, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Abercrombie & Fitch Co. announced today that it has pledged $15 million over a period of six years to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Kids Mental Health Foundation to support behavioral health initiatives for children and young adults in central Ohio and across the country.

The global retailer’s continued support of Nationwide Children’s impactful efforts will be reflected in two key ways:

  • Nationwide Children’s Behavioral Health Crisis Services: Nationwide Children’s is a national leader in addressing behavioral and mental health crises among youth, and Abercrombie & Fitch Co. will support and help expand those crucial services.

Nationwide Children’s is naming a new building in New Albany, Ohio, in recognition of Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s support. The facility will house a new Close To HomeSM center, offering advanced urgent care services and imaging, specialty clinics, occupational, physical and speech therapy and lab services. Nationwide Children’s currently operates 24 Close To HomeSM centers in Ohio, and the New Albany facility is scheduled to open in 2027.

“Abercrombie & Fitch Co. has long been a supporter of Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s mission, and their new commitment will help us provide the best possible outcomes for children,” said Tim Robinson, Chief Executive Officer at Nationwide Children’s. “More families in central Ohio will benefit from our behavioral health crisis services, and The Kids Mental Health Foundation will be able to reach even more caregivers, teachers, coaches, and children across the country.”

“At Abercrombie & Fitch Co., our purpose drives everything we do and with our partners, we’re committed to creating meaningful, positive impact,” said Fran Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer at Abercrombie & Fitch Co. “Together, with Nationwide Children’s and The Kids Mental Health Foundation, we can work towards a day when there is no difference in the level of support, care and treatment between mental health and physical health.”

This new announcement builds on the long-standing partnership between Nationwide Children’s and Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which first began in 2002. Additionally, The Kids Mental Health Foundation will also be one of Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s impact partners for the retailer’s annual music festival and fundraiser, The Challenge, held in Columbus on September 19, 2025.

US Space Force Successfully Launches L3Harris-Built NTS-3 Satellite

US Space Force Successfully Launches L3Harris-Built NTS-3 Satellite

MELBOURNE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The L3Harris-built (NYSE: LHX) advanced Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3) has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Vulcan rocket.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250811400089/en/

The L3Harris-built Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3) satellite launched on a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket Aug. 12 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NTS-3 will be used for a variety of experiments to include testing on-orbit, next-generation technologies that assist warfighters in contested environments.

The L3Harris-built Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3) satellite launched on a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket Aug. 12 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NTS-3 will be used for a variety of experiments to include testing on-orbit, next-generation technologies that assist warfighters in contested environments.

NTS-3 is the Department of Defense’s first experimental navigation satellite system in nearly 50 years. It is also the first fully reprogrammable Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) satellite that will provide warfighters with responsive and flexible capability to ensure mission success.

“The need for accurate and uninterrupted PNT has never been more essential to our warfighters who operate in GPS-denied environments,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “The successful launch of the NTS-3 system is the first step in updating 20th century technology to help address current threats to our national security.”

L3Harris delivered NTS-3 three times faster and at lower cost than similar programs by leveraging industry standard form factors and interfaces. NTS-3 is also smaller and lighter than traditional PNT satellites and will operate at a higher altitude.

Once on-orbit, the satellite will perform experiments to shape the future of U.S. space-based PNT capabilities. NTS-3’s payload technology is modular, scalable and can be configured to fly on different satellite buses. This technology will be instrumental in achieving future affordability goals and mission timelines.

L3Harris propulsion and spaceflight avionics on the ULA Vulcan rocket were critical to delivering NTS-3 to a precise orbit. The rocket used two L3Harris RL10 engines, providing a combined total thrust of nearly 48,000 pounds. The rocket also used 12 MR-107 thrusters to help steer the upper stage and helium tanks that are essential to the rocket’s operation. Key company spaceflight avionics include controllers, data acquisition units, and the T-740U Transmitter, which are crucial for vehicle control and data relay during launch.

About L3Harris Technologies

L3Harris Technologies is the Trusted Disruptor in the defense industry. With customers’ mission-critical needs always in mind, our employees deliver end-to-end technology solutions connecting the space, air, land, sea and cyber domains in the interest of national security.

SEALCOIN and Thomson Metavisio Bring Decentralized Computing to Consumer Laptops

SEALCOIN and Thomson Metavisio Bring Decentralized Computing to Consumer Laptops


SEALCOIN enables the computing shift from centralized data centers to a user-powered, secure, and distributed computing network

Geneva, Switzerland & Dammarie-les-Lys, France
–
August 13, 2025 –WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announces that its subsidiary SEALCOIN AG, which focuses on decentralized physical internet with DePIN technology and house the development of the SEALCOIN platform, and Thomson Metavisio, a leading French OEM in the personal computing space, today announce the integration of SEALCOIN Agent into an initial batch of 2,000 Thomson laptops, marking a major milestone in the adoption of decentralized computing infrastructure across consumer hardware.

This early-stage deployment, once live and running across devices distributed in France and other EU markets, establishes a real-life use case for embedding secure, autonomous computing capabilities at the edge of the network.

“We’ve moved from concept to real-world deployment,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of WISeKey. “Each laptop now has the power of registering itself on-chain, tokenizing its identity, and joining a broader network that can securely share and monetize idle CPU capacity. What’s most remarkable is that the user experience remains seamless, devices operate as usual, while seamlessly becoming part of the infrastructure powering tomorrow’s decentralized applications.”

Why SEALCOIN on Laptops Matters

Integrating SEALCOIN technology into laptops is more than a technical upgrade, it’s a paradigm shift in how we use, secure, and benefit from our personal computing devices. Here’s why this matters:

  • Democratization of Infrastructure: Instead of centralizing computing power in a few massive data centers, SEALCOIN enables millions of everyday laptops to become nodes in a distributed network. This democratizes access to cloud-like infrastructure and reduces dependence on centralized tech giants.
  • User Empowerment & Monetization: For the first time, everyday users can contribute idle CPU resources to decentralized networks and earn rewards—transforming laptops from passive tools into active, revenue-generating digital assets.
  • Enhanced Security & Sovereignty: By registering each device’s identity on-chain and securing it with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware, SEALCOIN ensures cryptographic integrity and autonomy at the edge. Users retain full control over their data and processing power, a critical element in an era of growing privacy concerns.
  • Environmental Sustainability: Instead of building new energy-hungry data centers, SEALCOIN taps into existing, underutilized resources—making decentralized computing significantly more eco-friendly. It’s a sustainable approach to scaling infrastructure for AI, blockchain, and other emerging technologies.
  • Ready for the AI-Powered Future: As artificial intelligence workloads surge, decentralized computing networks will be essential to scale AI processing power affordably and securely. Laptops equipped with SEALCOIN can support distributed AI inference, federated learning, and other cutting-edge applications right from the edge.

SEALCOIN Agent functions discreetly in the background and was engineered in collaboration with Thomson’s product and security teams to ensure seamless integration with Microsoft TPM and full compatibility with the device OS. Through a dedicated desktop interface, users are given the option to activate or explore the capabilities of the technology, offering both transparency and control.

Following the completion of this live integration phase, SEALCOIN and Thomson Metavisio will be preparing for a significant scale-up. Thomson has expressed strong interest in extending this innovation across future production volumes, setting up the stage for SEALCOIN Agent to be embedded in a substantial share of its upcoming laptop shipments over the next 18 months.

This momentum reflects a shared vision: enabling millions of end-user devices to operate as secure, autonomous, and monetizable nodes within a decentralized computing ecosystem, without compromising performance, privacy, or usability.

“This collaboration is a natural extension of our commitment to accessible, forward-thinking computing,” said Stéphan Français, CEO of Thomson Metavisio. “We’re proud to be the first OEM enabling users to tap into the decentralized future, starting with real utility, today.”

SEALCOIN and Thomson Metavisio reaffirm their shared commitment to delivering user-ready, secure, and sustainable technologies, and view this collaboration as the first chapter, a foundational step toward the broader adoption of decentralized digital infrastructure on a global scale.

About SEALCOIN

SEALCOIN is a Swiss-based technology company building a decentralized infrastructure to securely register, tokenize, and monetize connected devices and AI Agents. Through its platform, Machines can become autonomous and transacting nodes capable of earning and exchanging value directly over the network.

SEALCOIN is part of WISeKey International Holding AG (SIX: WIHN / NASDAQ: WKEY), a global cybersecurity company listed on both the SIX Swiss Exchange and NASDAQ. This affiliation brings world-class expertise in digital trust and embedded security.

Marsh to transform freight broker auto liability market with launch of proprietary US insurance facility and first-of-its-kind analytics solution

Marsh to transform freight broker auto liability market with launch of proprietary US insurance facility and first-of-its-kind analytics solution

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor and a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE:MMC), today announced the launch of BrokerSafe, an exclusive insurance facility for US freight brokers seeking access to more stable and affordable freight broker auto liability coverage.

Freight brokers play a vital role in the supply chain by connecting cargo owners with trucking companies, but their intermediary position exposes them to significant contingent auto liability risks should a safety incident occur. Rising freight broker auto liability rates, a shrinking insurance market, and increased nuclear verdicts have made it more difficult and costly for freight brokers to secure adequate coverage.

Created in conjunction with Oliver Wyman, another Marsh McLennan business, BrokerSafe leverages a first-of-its-kind underwriting technology tool that uses advanced analytics and proprietary algorithms to comprehensively assess a freight broker’s full contingent auto liability risk exposure. Armed with this enhanced visibility, BrokerSafe insurers can offer freight brokers bespoke contingent auto liability coverage aligned to their true risk profile rather than traditional underwriting methods like broker-carrier agreements or revenue figures.

Backed by a panel of A-rated US insurers, BrokerSafe offers up to $5 million in primary limits and an additional $5 million in excess capacity available from the London market.

“In today’s complex liability risk landscape, freight brokers are looking for sustainable, long-term freight broker auto liability insurance that enables them to manage their risks more effectively,” said Janelle Griffith, US and Canada Logistics Practice Leader, Marsh. “With BrokerSafe, Marsh and Oliver Wyman are transforming the freight broker auto liability insurance market by providing clients and underwriters the data and insights they need to make informed risk transfer decisions.”

About Marsh

Marsh, a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC), is the world’s top insurance broker and risk advisor. Marsh McLennan is a global leader in risk, strategy and people, advising clients in 130 countries across four businesses: Marsh, Guy Carpenter, Mercer and Oliver Wyman. With annual revenue of over $24 billion and more than 90,000 colleagues, Marsh McLennan helps build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective.
