Now NASAA-approved, A.D. Banker is the new go-to for IAR CE–bringing audit defensibility into one platform.
OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) firms, broker-dealers, and their advisers navigating Investment Adviser Representative (IAR) continuing education requirements now have a consistent way to meet requirements and feel confident in how their compliance is handled. With A.D. Banker, firms gain clarity around NASAA IAR Model CE requirements and reduce interpretation risk for both advisers and compliance leaders.
A.D. Banker — long recognized for excellence in insurance pre-licensing and continuing education — is now a NASAA-approved provider of IAR CE, bringing the same commitment to clarity, compliance and convenience that thousands of professionals already rely on. With IAR CE from A.D. Banker, firms and Investment Adviser Representatives (IARs) have a new trusted partner for their continuing education (CE) needs. They can stay ahead of regulatory compliance with accessible documentation, firm-level visibility into credit completion status by adviser and state–plus training that is relevant, simple and engaging. IAR CE compliance is complex. A.D. Banker eliminates the guesswork.
“The introduction of A.D. Banker IAR Continuing Education marks an important step forward for both advisers and the firms that support them,” said Pat Hirschberg, SVP & General Manager. “As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, advisers deserve education that is clear, defensible and built for the realities of their day‑to‑day work. Our goal is to remove ambiguity from the compliance process and give firms and representatives confidence that their CE is handled correctly–so they can stay focused on serving clients and growing their businesses.”
From large and mid-sized RIA firms ensuring team-wide compliance to independent IARs, advisers will find the courses they need in the A.D. Banker IAR CE library so that IAR CE is understood and completed in a standardized way. Titles include:
Unlike catalog-only CE marketplaces that require advisers to interpret rules on their own, A.D. Banker IAR CE courses are built around the real-world challenges advisers face every day, engaging advisers through interactive, applied learning, as well as delivering career-centered learning paths, while elevating the visibility of compliance managers.
Advisers earning credits on the go and managers coordinating training for teams will benefit from A.D. Banker’s automated tracking, completion reporting and record storage. These features give advisers and compliance teams confidence that their obligations are met — without the administrative headaches.
Firms already working with A.D. Banker for insurance licensing education, CE, or Firm Element can now consolidate IAR CE under the same trusted platform and eliminate interpretation risk. To simplify IAR CE and learn about flexible pricing, email Sales@ADBanker.com.

DFS underway following dual Challenger JORC (2012) Mineral Resources upgrades to 313koz Au 1
~8,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling underway at Challenger ‘Main’, ‘Challenger West’ (CW) open pits, plus open pit targets at ‘Challenger South-Southwest’ (CSSW) and ‘Challenger 3′ 1
~1,490m diamond drilling (DD) program begins for pit design and metallurgical optimisation
DFS objective to model a viable, simplified ‘baseline’ Stage 1 operation to underwrite restart of CGM and maximise Challenger, Tarcoola, Wudinna & Tolmer development optionality
Following material rain events in central South Australia which have delayed program execution, Barton is targeting JORC (2012) Ore Reserves and a ‘Stage 1′ DFS by H2 CY 2026
1 Refer to ASX announcements dated 30 June and 8 / 28 September 2025
ADELAIDE, AU / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(OTCQB:BGDFF)(FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to announce the start of pit optimisation drilling at its South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger), adjacent to its wholly-owned Central Gawler Mill (CGM). Foraco Drilling has been engaged for the program.
A program of ~1,490m diamond drilling (DD) will generate additional geotechnical data, and sample materials for additional metallurgical testwork, to support optimisation of Challenger open pits’ designs and operations. Together with ~8,000m of RC drilling program underway with Kennedy Drilling, this work is targeting conversion of existing open pit mineralisation (and new near-surface targets), to JORC (2012) ‘Indicated’ Resources and, subsequently, to ‘Ore Reserves’ subject to the completion of an ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).
The design concept of the DFS is to target an initial 3 – 4 year Stage 1 ‘baseline’ operation utilising only historical higher-grade tailings from tailings storage facility 1 (TSF1) and limited, near-surface materials without disturbing Challenger’s historical high-grade underground mine, its mineralisation or its infrastructure access.
This model also has the benefit of deferring the technical risk and cost of underground operations to a future date, following the de-risking of ‘Stage 1′ operations, and providing further time to optimise development plans.
Reinstatement of the CGM also materially enhances the development optionality of Barton’s several ‘regional enhancement’ assets such as the Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola) , the Wudinna Gold Project (Wudinna) and high-grade Tolmer silver prospect (Tolmer) all of which could potentially be processed through the CGM.1
Commenting on Challenger’s Resource upgrade drilling programs, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said :
“Recent extreme rains have proved a challenge across outback South Australia, but our exploration team has worked miracles to rebuild regional access roads and keep drilling moving at pace across all Barton development programs.
“Challenger’s considerable on-pit and near-surface gold mineralisation, adjacent to our existing Central Gawler Mill, provides an ideal pathway for an initial ‘baseline’ operation which underwrites a restart with a reduced risk profile while maximising development optionality for the Challenger underground mine, Tarcoola, Tolmer and Wudinna.”
Program background
During September 2025 Barton published a new Challenger JORC (2012) Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) of 313koz Au (10.6Mt @ 0.92 g/t), with almost all MRE mineralisation located in, on, or adjacent to, existing serviceable open pit and underground development.2
All mineralisation is adjacent to the Company’s Central Gawler Mill. The updated MRE excludes various lower-grade stockpiles and higher-grade mill residuals (eg. ball mill rejects) which are located on the Run of Mine (ROM) pad. These materials will likely form a component of early mill feed as the hard rock crushing and grinding circuits are recommissioned for the start of Phase 2 (fresh rock) operations.

Lineate, a systems integrator and data intelligence specialist, teams with Axonis to bring enterprise AI to mission-critical data without centralization.
ARLINGTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Lineate, a global systems integrator specializing in data, integration, and AI solutions for regulated enterprises, and Axonis, the federated AI infrastructure provider, today announced an elite-level partnership that delivers secure, production-ready AI for financial services and healthcare organizations. Lineate will design, implement, and optimize Axonis-powered solutions that operationalize AI for fraud detection, risk modeling, and clinical intelligence directly on distributed, sensitive data while maintaining strict compliance and governance controls.
The partnership will enable customers to unlock AI value directly on raw production data, including financial transactions, time-series events, patient records, and claims data, without copying, centralizing, or exposing sensitive information. Historically, applying AI to this type of high-value operational data has required complex data pipelines, duplication into secondary environments, or heavy redaction, introducing latency, security risk, and compliance challenges.
“Our customers in financial services and healthcare face a critical choice: centralize sensitive data to unlock AI, or keep data secure and miss the insights,” said Ben Engber, CEO of Lineate. “This partnership lets us deliver a third path. We architect data integration and overall solution design. Axonis handles secure, federated model training and serving. Together, we give regulated enterprises fraud detection, compliance monitoring, and risk scoring on data they never move or duplicate.”
The Axonis/Lineate partnership enables three distinct customer outcomes:
Performance through technology partnerships. Lineate’s existing partnerships with Aerospike, ClickHouse, Databricks, and AWS now converge with Axonis’ federated architecture. High-performance fraud detection pipelines can train and serve models at the data’s native location, cutting latency from minutes to milliseconds while eliminating expensive data pipelines.
Expertise through Lineate’s solution design. Lineate’s consultants combine deep domain knowledge in building and training AI systems, analyzing large data sets, data governance, and working in highly regulated industries. They design end-to-end solution architectures that fit each customer’s data topology, compliance posture, and operational constraints.
Secure, sovereign AI through Axonis. Axonis enforces security at the data level, not the perimeter. Field-level access control, differential privacy, encrypted model aggregation, and immutable audit trails ensure that every AI decision, fraud flagging, risk scoring, and treatment recommendations operate within governance boundaries.
“When it comes to the strict rules around enterprise AI data, Lineate knows exactly what they are dealing with,” noted Sheth Sanket, Chief Customer Officer of Axonis. “They understand that bringing all that data into a central hub just isn’t an option. They have the integration skills and the industry knowledge. Add a federated AI platform with Decision Intelligence to the mix, and they can tackle this challenge completely. Together, we are going to change how regulated companies roll out AI in 2026.”
Lineate is an Axonis Elite partner offering consulting engagements, pilot programs, and production deployments across North American and European markets

LITTLETON, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / ALOHA, the fast-growing B Corp and Climate Label Certified plant-based protein brand, has launched its national “Taste That Grows” campaign, putting the wholesome ingredients behind ALOHA’s top-selling bars front and center. The campaign brings these ingredients to life, from cherries and blueberries to fresh mint, peanuts, coconut, and almonds, each USDA Organic and thoughtfully grown. At a time when many protein bars lean on artificial flavors and functional fillers, ALOHA maintains a disciplined focus on ingredient quality, delivering award-winning flavor built from foods consumers know and trust.
The campaign was created by strategy and design company SYLVAIN, and is anchored in visuals that awaken the senses in unexpected ways, highlighting the textures and flavors that set ALOHA bars apart. Through close-up sensory-driven illustrations, ingredients are shown in their natural state and in motion, from fresh berries to cracked coconuts and roasted nuts, reinforcing the brand’s real-ingredient foundation. Ingredients stretch, sprout, burst, and fold back in, revealing the real, plant-powered goodness inside every ALOHA bar. Obsessed Media led the media buying for the campaign which will run across CTV, YouTube, podcasts and out-of-home.
“In a time when people are paying more attention than ever to what they’re putting into their bodies and how it makes them feel, we’re proud to share our food philosophy with the world,” said Julia Shapiro, VP of Brand at ALOHA. “We believe that the best tasting and most nutritious food comes from the earth, which is why ALOHA bars have always been made with delicious plant-based, organic ingredients. No junk. This campaign is a true celebration of that.”
As consumers move away from ultra-processed, sugary snacks and toward nutrient-dense, protein and fiber-rich options, ALOHA is positioned squarely at the center of that shift. Its bars are made with organic whole food ingredients such as nuts, oats, fruits, and seeds. Its protein comes from a proprietary blend of pumpkin seed and brown rice proteins, while the fiber in its bars is sourced primarily from tapioca fiber. Together, these choices reflect the brand’s core belief that ingredient transparency and great taste should go hand in hand.
“‘Taste That Grows’ is about illustrating the inherent beauty in real ingredients. To do that, we partnered with CGI artists Arina Emelianova and Kirill Emelyanov to create a sensorial world of plant-based wonder,” said Ash Casper, Associate Design Director at strategy and design company SYLVAIN. “While AI creative content is quickly becoming the norm, we instead centered on makers dedicated to their craft. You can feel it in the work.”
“We wanted the media plan to carry the same sense of discovery and sensory delight of the creative, meeting consumers in the moments where they’re thinking about snacking. We leaned into visual environments like CTV, YouTube and outdoor to showcase the craft behind the work, and select podcasts featuring health conscious hosts with a passionate audience. The goal was to build awareness while reminding people what makes ALOHA special in a crowded category – real, organic ingredients brought to life in a way that feels as vibrant and alive as the bars themselves,” said Barry Dan, Co-Founder & CEO, Obsessed Media.
The campaign marks the latest milestone in the company’s rapid ascent. While many food brands dilute ingredient standards as they scale, ALOHA has taken the opposite path. The company has grown more than 800% over the past few years without changing its formulation philosophy, ingredient quality, or manufacturing discipline; a rare outcome in the protein bar category. Named one of Bain Capital’s 2025 and 2026 “Insurgent Brands” and supported by a $68 million investment from SEMCAP, ALOHA now reaches 21,000 retail doors and ranks among the top-selling bars at Whole Foods Market, Amazon, and Thrive Market. The momentum is especially notable for an employee-owned company operating with a team of fewer than 30 people.
ALOHA is an employee-owned and operated company making simple, nutritious, plant-based food accessible to all. Its award-winning, USDA organic protein bars are packed with protein and fiber, amazingly low in sugar, and top-selling in the US Natural Channel. As the fastest-growing protein bar nationwide, ALOHA earned spots on Inc.’s “Fastest Growing Brands” (2024, 2025) and Bain & Company’s “Insurgent Brands” (2025, 2026) lists. A certified B Corporation® and Climate Label Certified brand, ALOHA is committed to using business as a force for good.
