Station Hubs Program, we talked to WERU-FM in Maine—the most rural station in in the 2023 Hubs cohort Last year WERU was selected as one of five Hubs stations who helped raise awareness of the initiative and facilitate OSS conversations in their local community OSS brings two strangers with opposing political beliefs together for a conversation—not to debate politics—but to get to know each other as people.  WERU is a community radio station that broadcasts from the town of Blue Hill located in the state’s second Congressional district which is also the country’s second-most rural district “We were founded in 1988 in a chicken barn called ‘The Hen House,’ where we stayed for nine years before moving to our current location Paul and Mary was one of our founders.” Today While Maine’s second district was the only one in New England that voted for Donald Trump in 2020 Murphy says that the district’s political makeup is diverse He cites Congressman and Democrat Jared Golden who represents the district and notes that while there are significant conservative pockets portions of the state’s coastal population are more liberal This mix made Murphy think the program could be successful locally while fitting the station’s mission of bringing community together and driving impact.  One of the challenges running OSS posed for freelance writer Michele Christle and her fellow facilitator and producer Chris Battaglia “It was time intensive but it got me out in the community and made me realize how important it is here to build support by word of mouth.” She continues “[Working on this project] also challenged my own assumptions I’d find myself talking to a farmer who received a letter signed by a number of community members saying that they were boycotting him because of the political sign in his yard He wished they would talk to him rather than assuming his beliefs aligned perfectly with the politician in question Listening to people talk about how incendiary national rhetoric plays out locally and how we can counter this through connection “Michele and I thought OSS will only succeed if we can get the whole state involved and as daunting as it sounds Maine is small enough where it could be a reality.” As a filmmaker and producer Battaglia also experimented with content to help raise awareness of the initiative with one of his OSS social media reels garnering 2,000 views.  Asked what they’ve learned from working on OSS “This project gives me scaffolding to engage with my community in a very different way It’s so important to look beyond labels and just see each other as people.” KCB vs Menengai Oilers RFC during Kenya Cup semi final 2024/25 at KCB Sports Grounds Menengai Oilers Vs Blak Blad on Saturday 18th January 2025

Investment Limited Partnership” the first fund in Japan to specially invest in security companies (hereinafter “WERU Investment”) as its general partner 　Against the backdrop of the spread of DX and the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks all companies and organizations in Japan are urged to respond to and take countermeasures against such attacks As the number of companies and organizations targeted by attacks increases each year and the scope and content of countermeasures continue to change it is essential for security companies to join forces to face the challenges in order to protect Japanese companies from these threats a number of security companies have emerged that will continue to grow by offering unique services that utilize AI and other cutting-edge technologies This fund is "the first fund specializing in the cyber security industry in Japan in which companies specializing in security invest in security companies," making growth opportunities for the security industry as a whole a reality and institutional investors in the security industry to participate in the fund with the goal of establishing a fund with a maximum amount of 10 billion yen ◆Two factors that increase the success rate of portfolio companies Establishment of an "Advisory Board" consisting of security-specialized LP companies (expert evaluation) 　This fund is a specialized cyber security fund in which GSX and other companies specializing in security are investing an "Advisory Board" consisting of LP companies will be established which will have the function of research and examination (expert evaluation) of potential portfolio companies based on their industry experience and knowledge of trends to increase the probability of success in selecting companies in which to invest Support portfolio companies through mutual cooperation among LP companies (professional support) 　Each of the LP companies will share their services and provide support to the fund's portfolio companies The growth of the portfolio companies will be accelerated to better ensure their success ◆GP (general partner): WERU Investment's investment track record 　Born from a university research group established in 1993 the firm is the first university-fueled independent venture capital firm in Japan focused on seed and early stage investment in technology startups in Japan and abroad the firm served as the lead investor and supported the growth of LeoLabs a leading provider of orbital data of satellites and space debris which was spun-out from SRI International (formerly the Stanford Research Institute) one of the world's leading research institutions founded by Stanford University the firm is currently supporting Confidencial as its lead investor which is conducting pilot projects with US government agencies and has experience in supporting cyber security startups The Nippon Cyber Security Fund will be managed by drawing on the experience of nearly 30 years of domestic and international investment and more than 20 IPOs since the firm’s establishment ■Comments by representatives of the four initiating companies Amid the constantly increasing importance of security for companies and government agencies this fund will be established with the objective of contributing to the development of the cyber security industry in our country and inducing innovation in the industry as international geopolitical risk in Europe and the Pacific Rim has increased significantly in recent years it is essential to support and adopt high-caliber domestic cyber security technologies and I hope that the fund’s activities will lead to great dynamism and societal contribution in Japan Responding to cyber attacks has become an important issue for Japanese companies in recent years We participated in the formation of this fund as a foothold to develop cyber security solutions for the Group's customer base of approximately 20,000 companies and to evolve the supply chain to a sustainable one We intend to function as a "solution provider" that transcends the boundaries of a trading company by promoting the formation and development of inter-company alliances among companies in the domestic security industry The acceleration of DX for the evolution of Japanese companies and the increasing number of cyber attacks and security measures continue to grow in importance We believe that our participation in Japan's first fund specializing in security will contribute to raising the level of knowledge and human resources in the security industry as a whole We have high expectations for expanding our community with endorsing companies through the fund and providing comprehensive security managed services from consulting to security implementation and operation we have seen many customers who unfortunately suffered damages and were left in trouble with no one (security vendor) to consult with while their business activities were suspended We security vendors need to stand up for them with "ALL JAPAN" We have decided to establish this fund with a sense of mission that now is the time to increase the number of our partners and protect domestic companies through mutual cooperation We are confident that this initiative will contribute to the revitalization and value enhancement of the cyber security industry

Sales Director at Abbey & Burton Glass explains “The introduction of the exclusive Weru range was a natural progression for Abbey Glass as we wished to service the increasing demand for premium high performance triple glazing We are proud to be combining 21st century German engineering with a traditional company that prides itself on its good old-fashioned values.” Lifestyle Glass Design joined the Network to further enhance their offering of premium windows and doors which are available alongside the firm’s extensive range of glass rooms “We first came across Weru at an exhibition in Germany and were amazed at the choice and build quality The timing was perfect as it coincided with Weru targeting central Scotland for suitable professional partners The opportunity of joining the new Network was a perfect fit with our own growth plans and we are already seeing a significant number of enquiries into the Weru range.” Weru UK was established in 1985 by Graham Lindsay who still heads up the operation alongside his daughter Kate and their professional team that have amassed significant experience in making continental windows reach their true potential within UK homes and commercial buildings Graham and the Weru UK team will be exhibiting at The Fit Show 2019 at The National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham (21st – 23rd May) and will be recruiting new partners for the
