    Arrive AI and AllMart/ACT Antigua to Expand Secure Deliveries in Antigua

    INDIANAPOLIS, IN AND ST. JOHN’S ANTIGUA / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI) – a pioneering autonomous delivery network anchored by Arrive Points™ – today announced an expanded partnership with AllMart – Local Marketplace & ACT Antigua, which operates a delivery service on the islands of Antigua & Barbuda. This collaboration aims to enhance secure delivery options for residents on the islands.

    Arrive AI and AllMart have been successfully testing smart mailbox delivery for several months. AllMart, CEO Andrew Doumith, stated the trials have demonstrated strong consumer interest in the enhanced security provided by Arrive AI’s secure mailboxes. With the completion of drone delivery tests and as demand increases, Arrive AI will update its existing smart mailbox footprint to the islands with a roll out of its more sophisticated, patented Arrive Points, which offer additional smart features, including temperature control, data tracking and emergency lighting.

    “Our customers are very interested in being able to schedule grocery and retail deliveries and have those items waiting for them when they get home,” Doumith said. “It’s a real convenience that we believe will make a big difference for our customers.”

    Arrive AI CEO Dan O’Toole anticipates a rise in demand as more consumers experience the service firsthand.

    “Our work in Antigua is important because it showcases the value of our units, whether items are delivered autonomously or via traditional means,” O’Toole said. “Security is our primary concern, and with that comes huge convenience for consumers. We will continue to add technology to the service there as demand increases.”

    AllMart had previously been making about 120,000 deliveries a year to customers with options for leaving ordered items either on doorsteps or in customers’ hands. The first option leaves items vulnerable to weather or other damage and theft. The second demands consumers be home when their deliveries arrive.

    O’Toole also noted that the islands’ moderate regulation regarding drone usage will make the area a great testing ground for drone deliveries.

  • Author Himanshu Kalkar Explores the Future of Human Evolution in Groundbreaking New Book Digital Karma

    Author Himanshu Kalkar Explores the Future of Human Evolution in Groundbreaking New Book Digital Karma

    Blending AI, Ethics, and Spirituality-A Bold Vision for Humanity’s Next Leap Forward

    CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / July 18, 2025 / As the world accelerates toward a hyper-connected, AI-powered future, author and futurist Himanshu Kalkar offers a provocative new perspective in his debut book, Digital Karma. Now available worldwide, Digital Karma reimagines the future of human evolution-not just through technology, but through inner awakening.

    In this timely and deeply reflective work, Kalkar explores the dual engines of human progress: technological augmentation and spiritual transformation. From neural implants and bionic limbs to kriya yoga and karma philosophy, Digital Karma fuses the mechanical and the mystical to challenge how-and why-we evolve in the digital age.

    “This book is a wake-up call,” says Kalkar. “While the world rushes to create super intelligent machines, we’re ignoring the untapped superhuman potential within ourselves. Digital Karma is about re-engineering both the external and internal worlds to unlock our full capacity.”

    A Timely Reflection Amid Rapid Technological Disruption

    With AI platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini becoming household names, Digital Karma addresses critical, often overlooked questions:

    • What happens when machines begin to feel, not just think?

    • Can AI develop true agency-and will it align with human values?

    • What role does spiritual intelligence play in shaping the ethical contours of the digital era?

    Rather than simply speculate, Kalkar builds a blueprint. Drawing insights from neuroscience, Indian philosophy, quantum computing, and bioengineering, the book presents a path to symbiotic evolution-where humanity thrives through balance, not dominance.

    Key Themes Explored in Digital Karma:

    • Digital Companions & Machine Consciousness: How AI is evolving from tool to emotional ally, and what that means for identity, ethics, and trust.

    • Karma and Kriya for the Digital Age: Fusing ancient yogic traditions with today’s innovation to foster mindful tech engagement.

    • Equity in Augmentation: How access to advanced technologies could either narrow or widen social inequality.

    • Spiritual Technologies: From wellness apps to AI-guided mindfulness, a look at how digital platforms are blurring the line between screen time and soul time.

    Introducing a New Vocabulary: Digital Karma and The Digital Verse

    Kalkar also introduces two original concepts:

    • Digital Karma: The cumulative consequences of our digital behaviors-how our online presence shapes real-world outcomes.

    • The Digital Verse: A future realm where artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and human consciousness coexist in an integrated, ethical framework.

    “Every action in the digital realm has a ripple effect, just like karma in the spiritual sense,” Kalkar explains. “Understanding this interplay will define the ethical foundation of our digital future.”

    For Thinkers, Seekers, and Builders

    • For technologists, Digital Karma is a thoughtful counterbalance to relentless innovation.

    • For spiritual seekers, it offers a grounded approach to inner growth in an overstimulated world.

    • For educators, futurists, and ethicists, it presents a fresh, holistic framework for responsible progress.

    About the Author

    Himanshu Kalkar, born and raised in India and now based in North Carolina, brings a rare blend of technical expertise and spiritual curiosity to his writing. With degrees in Electronics and Communications Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and an MBA, he has spent 25 years working in high tech while pursuing a personal journey of inner development.

    Inspired by thought leaders like Sadhguru, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Elon Musk, and Nick Bostrom, Kalkar’s work challenges readers to rethink evolution-not as a race for artificial intelligence, but as an awakening of human intelligence.

    When not writing, Kalkar enjoys traveling with his wife and children, playing strategy board games, and volunteering with organizations that promote sustainability and mentor youth in AI.

  • Organto Completes Fee Payment to Jaluca Limited

    Organto Completes Fee Payment to Jaluca Limited

    VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSXV:OGO)(OTC PINK:OGOFF) (“Organto” or the “Company“) announces that it has completed the issuance of a total of 4,380,000 common shares (the “Shares“) to Jaluca Limited (“Jaluca“) at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share following receipt of disinterested shareholder approval and TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V“) approval.

    As disclosed in the Company’s March 20, 2025 and June 20, 2025 news releases, the Company retained Jaluca pursuant to a corporate finance advisory agreement to provide guidance and assistance in the negotiation and implementation of the overall restructuring of the Company, including the reduction of the Company’s substantial debts and refinancing (see news release dated March 20, 2025) and the restructuring and settlement of its convertible debentures (see news release dated June 20, 2025). As compensation, the Company had agreed to pay to Jaluca a fee equal to 6% of the total value of settled convertible debentures at an issue price of $0.10 per share, excluding those held by Jaluca (the “Fee“), subject to disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V and the approval of the TSX-V, which approvals have since been obtained.

    Disinterested shareholders holding an aggregate of 112,752,806 common shares representing approximately 71.29% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding common shares provided written consent to the Fee.

    The Company has accordingly issued 4,380,000 Shares to Jaluca at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per Share in full satisfaction of the Fee. All of the Shares are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until November 17, 2025 except as permitted by appliable securities legislation.

    2024 Bonus Program

    The Company uses the bonus programs under its compensation agreements with management and staff as an element of variable compensation for officers, senior management and key employees of the Company. These bonuses are normally based on achieving certain milestones that are considered important for the development of the Company’s business, and if utilized, are normally based on pre-determined key performance indicators (“KPI”) and are paid upon achievement of the particular pre-determined KPI metrics.

    Bonuses were granted to officers in 2024 in lieu of deferred or reduced compensation, with total deferred or reduced compensation discounted as deemed appropriate by the board of directors, to be paid via a combination of shares (70%) and cash (30%), subject to certain KPIs being met in 2025.

    The full amount of these bonuses of $822,000 was fully accrued and disclosed in the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the compensation disclosed in the compensation table included in the Company’s Information Circular for its Annual General Meting held on June 25, 2025. The bonus is to be paid 70% in equity ($575,400) and 30% in cash (246,600).

    To date in 2025, the 70% equity component of the bonus has been achieved, although none of the bonuses have yet been paid.

    As a result, the Company intends to submit for TSXV acceptance the issuance of common shares to officers and key operating personnel based on the achievement of the 70% equity component of the bonus plan. The shares to be granted are proposed to be issued at the Discounted Market Price, as that term is defined in the TSX Listing Policy.

    Larry Weltman Publishes New Blog on the Fulfilment of Helping Real Estate Professionals Succeed

    Larry Weltman reflects on the value of working behind the scenes – showing how consistent, quiet support can empower others to thrive in business and life.

    TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2025 / Larry Weltman, a trusted name in real estate support and commission advance services, has published a thoughtful and timely blog article. In the post, Weltman opens up about the deeper purpose he has found in working behind the scenes to support real estate professionals on their own paths to success.

    With decades of experience in the industry, Weltman reflects on how meaningful progress often happens quietly. While many associate professional achievement with front-facing roles and public recognition, he champions a different approach-one rooted in consistency, humility, and long-term impact.

    “I’ve never been the type to seek recognition or chase headlines,” Weltman writes. “My work has always been rooted in one simple belief: helping others reach their goals is a goal worth pursuing.”

    The article explores what it means to find purpose in service-whether it’s offering guidance during cash flow uncertainty, helping agents stay motivated, or simply being a consistent sounding board. Weltman shares that his commission advance career has been shaped not by being in the spotlight, but by empowering others to thrive in it.

    “Some of the most meaningful careers are built on service,” he notes. “There’s real satisfaction in knowing your contribution-however unseen-makes someone’s path just a bit easier.”

    Weltman also touches on the idea of “support-first leadership,” encouraging readers to embrace the strength that comes from lifting others up rather than competing for attention. For him, this mindset is just as relevant in work as it is in life.

    “Leadership doesn’t always mean being the loudest or most visible person in the room,” he says. “Sometimes it means being the person others can rely on-day in and day out.”

    The blog is a reminder that success comes in many forms, and that fulfilment can be found in roles that prioritize collaboration over credit. With relatable anecdotes and a grounded tone, the post will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered if their behind-the-scenes contributions truly matter.
