Key Provisions of the Deal

Strategic Wins and Losses

Ripped from the news: watch out for invisible text. Text you can’t see can hurt you. A professor gave the class an essay assignment. Many students just copied and pasted the assignment directly into AI. But as it turned out, the visible text was not the key; it was the invisible text that was critical.

Mixed into the visible text were additional words that blended in with the background color. While the blended words weren’t visible to the students, when the students copied and pasted the assignment into AI, the AI read the invisible words as part of the question. The invisible verbiage told the AI to add a specific nonsense word to its answer. When a student’s submission included the nonsense word, the professor could see that the student had fed the assignment into AI.

Now you may not be a student. But the impact of invisible text isn’t limited to academia. All text visible or otherwise factors into enterprise search. Enterprise search like dtSearch® enables instant concurrent multithreaded searching across terabytes. But it does so only after initially indexing that data. The indexing process recognizes all unique words and numbers and tabulates the location of these across the data. A single dtSearch index can hold up to a terabyte of text and there are no limits on the number of indexes that the software can create and make available for instant simultaneous searching.

While indexing is highly resource intensive, concurrent searching is very resource-light, enabling instant multithreaded searching. dtSearch can further update its indexes to reflect new files, file edits or file deletions without disrupting ongoing instant multithreaded searching. And while indexing will always be more time consuming than searching, a 64-bit multithreaded indexer can speed up the process a lot.

Getting dtSearch started on indexing is easy. Just point to the email archives and other folders to index and the indexer will automatically take it from there. So long as the files appear in the Windows folder system, the files themselves can be local or remote, including One Drive / Office 365 files, DropBox files, SharePoint attachments, etc.

To review a file, you’d typically pull it up in an associated application like a PDF in Adobe Reader, a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel, a database in Access, a word processing document in Word, a presentation in PowerPoint, a note file in OneNote, web-ready content in a browser, an email in an email program, etc. But for the indexer, pulling up each file in its associated application would be way too slow. Instead of pulling up each file in its associated application, dtSearch heads to each file’s binary format to parse it.

This binary format approach affects the scope of enterprise search, including with respect to hidden text. To correctly parse a binary format, the indexer needs to figure out its exact right file type. Of course, it’s easy to save a file with an extension that does not match the file type, like saving a Word file with a .PDF extension or saving a PDF with a .DOCX extension. But the binary format has all of the file type information inside of it, enabling file type recognition regardless of file extension.

The binary format further lets the enterprise search indexer correctly parse not only standalone files but also nested files. An email can have a ZIP or RAR attachment containing an Excel spreadsheet with a recursively embedded Word document and the binary format will make all that available to the indexer for parsing. There is a lot of obscure metadata that is easy to miss viewing a file in its associated application. But all metadata is readily apparent in a file’s binary format, and easily accessible to the indexer.

The binary format further covers visible text that you’d easily spot viewing the file in its associated application as well as camouflaged text like the professor used, blended into the background color. In fact, all text regardless of contrast is on the same footing in the binary format. Also in the binary format are tracked changes if not fully accepted and deleted. Similarly, a black rectangle can block out text, making it appear redacted. But the text itself can remain in the binary format for the indexer to access.

For international language coverage, the binary format encompasses all of a file’s Unicode encodings. A single email or other file can go from one language to the next including English, other European languages, right-to-left Middle Eastern languages and even double-byte character Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The binary format will include all of that encoding information for the indexer to pick up.

After indexing, dtSearch has over 25 different full-text and metadata instant concurrent search types, including natural language, Boolean and/or/not, proximity, numeric range, regular expression, credit card number, hash value and other search options. Some of these 25+ concurrent search options are specifically configured to sift through common data deviations. Say you have the word invisible mistyped or mis-OCR’ed as inviNible. In dtSearch, fuzzy searching adjusts from 0 to 10 to find inviNible in a search for invisible.

Another example of sifting through common data deviations would be date and date range searching. A date range search for date(9/30/26 to 2/15/27) would pick up not only 1/10/27 but also January 10 2027 and Jan 10 2027. Similarly, concept searching can extend to synonyms from a built-in thesaurus, like unseeable for invisible. dtSearch also supports custom synonym rings. If you are working on the Tom Jones case, while Tom and Jones may not normally be synonyms, you can make them synonyms for purposes of your case.

That idea lies at the center of Shallow Water (Sığ Su), the latest independent psychological thriller developed and produced under Poly Entertainment and directed by its Founder and Chairman, Sarp Karabulut. The film explores one of the most fragile aspects of human experience: our dependence on memory and perception to determine what is real.

At its surface, Shallow Water follows a young woman caught in a series of increasingly unsettling experiences. As the distinction between memory and reality begins to disappear, the audience is placed in the same uncertain position as the protagonist. What actually happened? What is being remembered? What has been imagined? And can a person continue to trust their own perception when their mind begins to contradict itself?

The psychological dimension of the film goes beyond conventional suspense. Its central conflict is not simply between a character and an external threat, but between an individual and their own understanding of reality. Memory becomes unreliable, familiar experiences become questionable, and the past begins to interfere with the present. Identity itself becomes increasingly difficult to define.

This is where the title Shallow Water takes on a deeper meaning. Shallow water appears safe because we believe we can see what is beneath the surface. Yet visibility does not necessarily mean understanding. The film uses this idea as a psychological metaphor: a person may believe they understand their memories, fears, relationships, and identity, only to discover that the surface of their own mind can be misleading.

The film’s production process reflects this philosophy. Developed through an independent production structure, Shallow Water was filmed during a focused nine-day shooting period. The controlled environments and practical limitations were not simply production challenges; they became part of the film’s atmosphere and visual language. Instead of attempting to conceal the limitations of independent filmmaking, the project uses them to reinforce its intimate and psychological character.

For Poly Entertainment, this represents an important creative principle: independent filmmaking is not simply about working with fewer resources. It is about maintaining a direct relationship between an idea and the way that idea is brought to the screen.

The film is now entering its next phase, with an international festival strategy and potential distribution opportunities. For Poly, this journey is significant because Shallow Water is intended not only as a film release, but as an opportunity to introduce a distinctive independent project to audiences and industry professionals outside Turkey.

The strongest next step for the editorial feature would therefore be a direct interview with Sarp Karabulut, Founder and Chairman of Poly Entertainment, as the film’s director and producer. We believe his direct perspective would add substantially more depth to the story because the questions behind Shallow Water are closely connected to specific creative decisions made throughout its development and production.

Rather than approaching the interview as a broad discussion of Turkish cinema, we would shape the conversation specifically around Shallow Water: what inspired its central psychological conflict, why memory and reality became its core themes, how the title connects to the film’s metaphorical structure, how production limitations influenced the visual language, how editing shaped the final narrative, and what Karabulut ultimately wants audiences to question after watching the film.

The conversation could also explore the film’s development from its early concept to its current international festival strategy, giving readers a closer look at how an independent psychological thriller evolves from an idea into a finished cinematic work.

For Poly Entertainment, Shallow Water is ultimately more than a psychological thriller. It is an exploration of perception, memory, identity, and the uncertainty that exists beneath what appears familiar.

And perhaps that is the film’s most important question: when the surface looks clear, how certain can we really be about what lies beneath it?

Interview Format: Poly Entertainment would be pleased to coordinate the interview process directly with Sarp Karabulut and shape the discussion specifically around Shallow Water, its story, themes, directing choices, production process, development history, editing decisions, and international journey.

The issue is not a lack of interest in cognition. Cognitive function
can be highly relevant when researchers need to understand the effects
of an intervention on areas such as attention, memory, processing
speed or executive function. The practical challenge is collecting
these measurements in a way that is standardized, repeatable and
operationally manageable within a clinical protocol.

Digital cognitive assessment may help address that gap. CogniFit’s
technology is designed to allow researchers to administer cognitive
assessments digitally, create study-specific protocols, manage
participants and collect data over time. For clinical research teams,
this may help make cognitive measurement easier to incorporate
alongside other clinical endpoints rather than treating it as a
separate, highly specialized process.

Our recent collaboration with Eurofins Optimed is important because it
moves this discussion from theory into an active clinical research
environment. Eurofins Optimed brings more than three decades of
experience in early clinical development, while CogniFit contributes
digital tools focused specifically on cognitive measurement. Combining
clinical research expertise with specialized digital technology is, in
our view, the direction the industry needs to take.

One potential benefit is scalability. A digital approach may support
standardized administration across participants and repeated
assessments throughout a study. This is particularly relevant when
researchers want to examine cognitive change longitudinally rather
than rely on a single measurement at one point in time. Digital
delivery may also help reduce some of the logistical requirements
associated with traditional testing and facilitate access to data for
research teams.

This does not mean replacing clinical judgment or established research
methodology with technology. The objective is the opposite: to give
investigators additional tools to capture cognitive data within
rigorous study designs. Digital health is most effective when it fits
into existing scientific and clinical workflows, rather than asking
those workflows to adapt unnecessarily around the technology.

The opportunity extends beyond studies focused primarily on the
central nervous system. Depending on the study design and context of
use, cognitive measures may be included as safety, tolerability or
exploratory outcomes in a broader range of pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, nutrition and medical-device research. As clinical
development becomes increasingly patient-centered, understanding how
an intervention may affect cognitive functioning can add another
useful dimension to the evidence being collected.

For CogniFit, the next step is therefore not simply to participate in
more individual trials. Our goal is to make validated approaches to
digital cognitive measurement easier to integrate into clinical
research at scale, where appropriate for the specific study context,
across indications, study phases, countries and technology
environments. That includes continuing to improve our research
platform, supporting customized cognitive protocols and enabling
integrations that allow cognitive data to become part of the wider
clinical-trial technology ecosystem.

The larger shift is straightforward. Clinical research is generating
more data than ever, but the value of that data depends on measuring
relevant outcomes reliably. Cognition is complex, yet that should not
make it impractical to measure. By combining scientific rigor with
digital delivery, we believe cognitive assessment can become a more
accessible and useful component of modern research.

When a white collar professional is caught in the crosshairs of a federal criminal investigation or indictment, their entire world is on the verge of crashing down. They want a lawyer to prevent a catastrophe and stop the hemorrhaging, so to speak. But in doing so, it is prudent not only to take care of the legal problem for the client but to also work with the client so that the person is able to understand the deep-rooted reasons that caused the downward spiral that led the client to the crosshairs of the federal government and to then help the client to work to repair the things that went wrong so that it doesn’t happen again. Explore these issues with NiaLena Caravasos, a nationally recognized federal criminal defense and white collar crime lawyer in Philadelphia.To read more about her, please visit https://nialena.com.

Spanning 10 tracks and 53 minutes, the ensemble’s fourth album creates an acoustic world suited for reflection, meditation, and intimacy. Opening with the sinuous melodies of “1001 Nights,” traveling through the dramatic “Throne of Sand,” and concluding with the celebratory “Morning Sun,” the project delivers a rich tapestry created entirely by four musicians responding to one another in real time.

Opium Moon unites four virtuosic artists:

• Lili Haydn (Violin) — Emmy-nominated composer (Ginny & Georgia).
• Hamid Saeidi (Persian Santoor) — Acclaimed Iranian multi-instrumentalist.
• Itai Disraeli (Fretless Bass) — Award-winning Israeli bassist.
• MB Gordy (Percussion) — Master percussionist and film composer.

The collaboration carries profound cultural resonance. Born in countries historically separated by geopolitical conflict, Saeidi (Iran) and Disraeli (Israel) transform their artistic partnership into an act of peace, demonstrating how shared creative language bridges national divides.

An Ongoing Legacy

Following their self-titled 2018 debut—which won the GRAMMY® for Best New Age Album in 2019—and a subsequent nomination in 2020, The Time Has Come marks an elegant evolution for the ensemble. Critics have long celebrated their sound, with NPR’s Bob Boilen describing it as “both a deep, thoughtful breath and an upbeat celebration.”

Ultimately, The Time Has Come serves as more than an album; it is an invitation to pause, reconnect with our shared humanity, and celebrate the irreplaceable magic of music made by human hands.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Jeremy Murphy.

On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviews former CBS TV Vice President, Jeremy Murphy.

In this segment of The Price of Business, host Kevin Price speaks with media insider and PR expert Jeremy Murphy about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s shifting public standing and their rumored return to London. Murphy argues that the couple’s popularity in the U.S. has severely eroded due to failed commercial ventures—including declining deals with platforms like Spotify and Netflix—and a growing perception of hypocrisy, famously satirized by South Park’s “Worldwide Privacy Tour.” They discuss allegations of internal staff friction, Markle’s low UK approval ratings, and canceled acting opportunities, including a rumored role in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen. Murphy speculates that their desire to mend relations with King Charles III before his eventual passing may be driven by both financial survival and legal concerns regarding child custody in the event of a potential divorce.

According to a statement, “Jeremy Murphy is a sarcastic, embittered veteran of the media industry. Founder of 360bespoke, a respected boutique PR agency in New York, Murphy handles a full roster of clients in the lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and start-up fields. Previously, he was Vice President of Communications at CBS, where he worked for 14 years. There, he oversaw PR for many of its divisions and created its glossy magazine Watch. Murphy started as a journalist, working with Knight Ridder newspapers and Mediaweek. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and lives in New York with his cat, Champers.”
