    The list of modern technologies, during the development or implementation of which companies can conclude special investment contracts with the state (SPIC 2.0), has been expanded by another 21 items. The order to supplement the existing list was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

    The updated list includes technologies that can be used in medicine, the chemical and food industries, agriculture, energy, and construction.

    These technologies include new methods for producing hydrogen, ammonia, nitric acid, granulated urea, building materials, new generation feed enzyme preparations, bread and bakery products with an extended shelf life, vegetable oil and other products.

    Commenting on the signed documentGovernment meeting on July 17, Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that it will attract additional private investment in priority areas, and will also help develop the production of products that are critically important for the country.

    In a new format, the special investment contract mechanism has been in effect since the end of 2020. It allows attracting large private capital investments in the development of innovative solutions and the creation of high-tech production facilities for the production of competitive domestic products.

    Within the framework of the SPIC mechanism, the investor undertakes to implement an investment project for the introduction or development and introduction of modern technology for the development of serial production of industrial products on the territory of Russia within the timeframes specified in the contract.

    The state, for its part, guarantees such an investor favorable, clear and unchangeable conditions for investments, including tax benefits and special conditions for land lease without tenders. Contracts are concluded for a period of up to 15 years if investments in the project do not exceed 50 billion rubles. For a larger amount, the period of the agreement may be extended to 20 years.

    The document will be published.

    The Government Coordination Centre held a defense of projects and the presentation of diplomas to participants in the operational level of the programme for the development of a management personnel reserve in the field of science, technology and higher education.

    Aide to the President of Russia Andrei Fursenko, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Chairman of the Council of the Federal Territory “Sirius”, Head of the Educational Foundation “Talent and Success” Elena Shmeleva, Rector of the Presidential Academy Alexei Komissarov congratulated the participants and presented them with diplomas.

    “With each stream, the quality of the participants’ work grows. None of the teams approached the task formally; each wanted to create something new, something of their own. As a parting word, I would like to note: it is very important that in all projects that you will supplement and implement in the future, there is an emphasis not only on the process, but also on the final result. Of course, we all want to achieve some personal result. But it is very important that it is comparable in scale and significance to what is necessary for the interests of the country,” said Andrey Fursenko.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the Presidential Academy and Sirius University for organizing the program. He also noted the importance of the connections developed by the participants, their abilities and decision-making skills.

    “I am glad that our country has acquired even more advanced, more effective managers. They will help domestic science, which, like a huge ship, continues to move forward and has great potential, to become even more effective. We sincerely count on it. The opportunities that were given to the participants are one of the most valuable, effective investments in development, increasing the managerial potential in the field of science. So, good luck, let’s continue working together,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    Among them are 6 rectors and 10 vice-rectors of universities, a deputy chairman of the regional government, a deputy governor, regional ministers, 24 doctors of science, 46 candidates of science, and 4 corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    Addressing the graduates, Elena Shmeleva singled out the teams she particularly liked and invited them to internships at the federal territory of Sirius.

    “Each of the project participants underwent a serious selection and intensive training in eight modules of the program, which took place at leading educational and technological sites in Russia. All the students are experienced managers. And it is very important and responsible that it was the Presidential Academy that became the place where they were able to unite into a single professional community to solve the current problems of Russian science and education,” said Alexey Komissarov, Rector of the Presidential Academy.

    The participants were also congratulated and their projects were commented on by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration for Scientific and Educational Policy Yulia Linskaya, and Deputy Director for Research at the N.F. Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Denis Logunov.

    The program for the development of a personnel management reserve in the field of science, technology and higher education is being implemented on the instructions of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the basis of the Presidential Academy’s Graduate School of Management and the Sirius University of Science and Technology in partnership with leading Russian educational centers since 2022.

    The goal of the program is to form a community of young managers in the field of science, technology and higher education, united by a common understanding of the challenges facing the country, and possessing the vision, knowledge, skills and motivation for the effective management of scientific organizations, universities, work in federal and regional executive bodies, and technology companies.

    Participants in the program include vice-rectors of universities and scientific organizations, heads of research departments of Russian technology companies, heads and deputy heads of regional government bodies overseeing the development of science, education and innovation.

    The program consisted of eight educational modules, which were held in Solnechnogorsk, the federal territory “Sirius”, in St. Petersburg, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Pyatigorsk and Moscow. Participants studied approaches to achieving the goals of scientific and technological development of Russia, the green economy, industrial and natural resource potential of the regions, considered issues of education and science in a multicultural context, and also carried out practical work.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: Crypto – UK’s crypto fire sale risks repeating a billion-pound blunder – deVere Group

    Source: deVere Group

    July 20 2025 – The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves is reportedly contemplating a sale of the country’s confiscated Bitcoin stash—some 61,000 BTC seized in a 2018 fraud bust—to alleviate an estimated £20 billion fiscal shortfall.

    But while offloading crypto could offer short-term relief, Nigel Green, the CEO of global financial advisory giant deVere Group warns it may echo past errors and undermine long-term strategy.

    “Turning these assets into instant cash is tempting, but it risks repeating historical errors,” he says, highlighting the lessons of previous government asset sales that have gone sour.

    Bitcoin on Sunday surged past the $118,000 mark—its highest point since the $123,000 peak.

    The proposal arrives amidst a wider pro-crypto pivot. The UK recently lifted restrictions on retail ETNs in June, aiming to become a fintech powerhouse. The surge in regulatory clarity, combined with rising institutional interest, has bolstered Bitcoin’s legitimacy, with sovereign holdings under serious consideration globally.

    Despite this backdrop, Nigel Green voices strong concern. “If we advocate crypto as strategic, then hastily disposing of seized Bitcoin is hypocritical—and harmful.”

    “Fiscal pressure shouldn’t drive poor asset decisions.”

    He continues: “That’s all the more pressing given restoration obligations—victims must be compensated, law enforcement gets its cut, and legal overheads pile up. Net receipts may shrink to 20–30% of gross proceeds—far less than headlines suggest.

    “This isn’t free money. Court battles and administrative fees will eat into what the Treasury actually sees.”

    Economists often cite gold sales in the late 1990s as a cautionary tale. Sold at depressed prices, the assets were later criticized for heavy losses when bullion rose.

    The deVere CEO draws a parallel: “They sold gold in a dip, only to regret it years later. We risk replaying that error with Bitcoin.”

    Indeed, proper timing matters—”emergency fiscal relief is not always best served by fire-sale tactics.”

    He has previously urged the UK to build a “strategic Bitcoin reserve,” akin to moves under consideration in the US.

    His track record of bullish forecasts—Bitcoin nearing $125k—is rooted in believing digital assets will anchor future economic frameworks.

    He reiterates: “If countries like the US, the world’s largest economy, are seriously weighing Bitcoin as a reserve, why would the UK liquidate instead?”

    Far from being a gamble, it’s a bet on diversification and monetary education. As Nigel Green notes: “Bitcoin can act like digital gold—it’s scarce, decentralized, and a hedge against inflation.”

    The consequences extend beyond Pounds and pence—they speak to perception: “How the Chancellor handles this will shape market and public confidence. It’s about whether we lead intelligently—or just chase headlines.”

    Indeed, rushed asset sales project instability—it broadcasts that policy swings on crypto are driven by urgency, not strategy. This risks turning the UK from crypto innovator to cautionary tale.

    The deVere chief executive concludes: “Is the UK a digital finance pioneer—or panic merchants liquidating seized assets? The choice will help define Rachel Reeves’ and the government’s economic legacy.

     “They should act less on timing, more on trajectory.”

    deVere Group is one of the world’s largest independent advisors of specialist global financial solutions to international, local mass affluent, and high-net-worth clients.  It has a network of offices around the world, more than 80,000 clients, and $14bn under advisement.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Presale Projects 4x Gains with Guaranteed $20 Launch Price

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) is stealing the spotlight in the crypto world as more analysts point toward its potential to turn a modest $1,000 into $4,000 at launch. While the market continues throwing out new tokens every week, few bring the combination of strong fundamentals, breakthrough technology, and sheer investor momentum like BTC-S. This is not your typical presale project hoping for a lucky break. It is built to deliver.

    Why Bitcoin Solaris Is the Standout in 2025

    Bitcoin Solaris does not rely on empty promises. Its strength comes from its hybrid Proof-of-Work and Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus, delivering lightning-fast speeds while maintaining security at scale. This dual-consensus architecture brings scalability and decentralization together in a way few projects achieve.

    • The Base Layer uses Proof-of-Work for maximum security
    • The Solaris Layer operates Delegated Proof-of-Stake, hitting over 10,000 transactions per second with 2-second finality
    • Validator rotation occurs every 24 hours to ensure fairness
    • Zero-Knowledge Proofs provide optional privacy without sacrificing performance
    • Rust-based smart contracts support a wide range of use cases from DeFi to enterprise

    Through the exciting release of the upcoming Solaris Nova App, Bitcoin Solaris takes mining mainstream. Mobile, desktop, and browser mining means users can participate without expensive rigs or technical headaches.

    Influencers Are Highlighting BTC-S Potential

    Influencers and crypto reviewers are spotlighting Bitcoin Solaris as one of the smartest plays this cycle.

    • Crypto Show covers how BTC-S brings innovation back to blockchain
    • Token Empire highlights the scalability and investor confidence
    • Crypto Vlog discusses the real-world benefits of mobile mining
    • Token Galaxy breaks down how BTC-S combines accessibility with serious tech

    This Time It’s Not Just a Boom It’s the Rise of Bitcoin Solaris

    Presale Momentum Shows No Signs of Slowing

    Bitcoin Solaris is moving fast through Phase 12 of its presale. With just around 2 weeks left before launch on July 31, 2025, investor interest keeps rising.

    • Current price is $12
    • Next phase will jump to $13
    • A 4% bonus remains active during this phase
    • Launch price is fixed at $20 with an expected 150% return

    Over 14,200 unique investors have already joined. More than $6.6M has been raised, making this one of the most explosive presales of the year.

    Wallets like Trust Wallet and Metamask are recommended for receiving tokens on launch day. BTC-S makes it clear these wallets are for delivery, not presale purchasing.

    Secure your allocation through Bitcoin Solaris.

    Mining for Everyone Made Simple

    Bitcoin Solaris is rewriting the rules on mining with the upcoming Solaris Nova App. Forget expensive equipment and complex setups.

    • Cross-platform mining available on mobile, desktop, and browser
    • Adaptive algorithms optimize mining per device
    • Mining Power Marketplace allows users to rent or sell computational power
    • Supports ASICs, GPUs, desktops, laptops, and smartphones
    • Biometric login and encryption ensure top-tier security
    • Leaderboards, achievements, and in-app education drive community engagement

    Users can calculate their mining potential using the BTC-S calculator.

    Sustainable Tokenomics for Long-Term Value

    Bitcoin Solaris ensures a balanced distribution model focused on growth and sustainability. More details are available at the BTC-S Tokenomics.

    • 66.66% allocated for mining over 90 years
    • 20% reserved for the presale
    • 5% for liquidity pools
    • 2% for ecosystem development
    • 2% for community rewards
    • 2% for staking rewards
    • 2% for marketing
    • 0.33% for the team and advisors

    This structure guarantees BTC-S stays decentralized and in the hands of participants who build its future.

    Final Thoughts: BTC-S Is Built to Deliver

    Bitcoin Solaris is not just another crypto presale. It is an ecosystem built for scale, accessibility, and long-term adoption. With its dual-consensus model, mobile-first mining, and tokenomics designed for sustainability, BTC-S is positioned to turn small investments into substantial returns. The $20 launch price is around the corner, and this presale window will not last much longer.

  • India taking steady, confident steps towards oil self-sufficiency: Hardeep Singh Puri

    Source: Government of India (4)

    India is taking steady and confident steps towards oil self-sufficiency, and under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the country is securing its energy future, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Sunday.

    With one million square kilometres of offshore area now open for oilfield exploration and 99 per cent of ‘No-Go’ areas cleared, the minister announced on social media platform X that the groundwork is being laid for major energy progress.

    The oil and gas blocks offered under the Open Acreage Licensing Programme (OALP) have already attracted interest from both global and domestic energy players, and Round X is expected to set new benchmarks for participation and investment.

    “25 blocks under OALP-X; 154 exploration blocks active; 14 new oil and gas discoveries; ₹792 crore invested in Mission Anveshan; 6,200 GLKM of seismic data already collected; ONGC producing 34,000 BOPD oil and 3 MMSCMD gas,” he said.

    This month, the Petroleum Ministry invited feedback and suggestions on the Draft Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, Model Revenue Sharing Contract (MRSC), and Petroleum Lease – part of a series of pathbreaking policy reforms aimed at promoting exploration and production in the oil and gas sector.

    The Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act, 1948, was amended in March 2025, and the new PNG Rules were issued within three months, ahead of OALP Round X – the largest exploration and production bidding round globally, aligned with PM Modi’s vision for the sector.

    “This is a great time for entrepreneurs and industry leaders to look at oil and gas exploration in India. It has never been easier, faster, or more profitable to invest in India’s energy future,” Puri said.

    The minister also highlighted that clean cooking fuel is now part of daily life for nearly every Indian, with close to 100 per cent geographic and population coverage.

    “From 55 cities in 2014 to 300+ cities and towns, from 25 lakh kitchens to 1.5 crore homes today – India’s city gas distribution networks have ushered in a revolution under PM Modi,” he added.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Advocacy – Gaza is Starving: A Last-Minute Call for Action – PSNA

    Statement issued by the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA)

    The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA) issues this urgent and desperate call: Gaza is starving, and we must act now.

    Hospitals and emergency clinics in Gaza are overwhelmed. Unprecedented numbers of Palestinians — children, women, and the elderly — are collapsing from hunger and exhaustion. Medical professionals warn that hundreds face imminent death, their bodies unable to survive the severe famine conditions created by Israel’s ongoing siege and deliberate starvation tactics.

    This is not a natural disaster. This is the result of a man-made blockade, a deliberate policy of collective punishment — and it constitutes a grave violation of international law.

    This is a last-minute call.

    PSNA calls on:

    • The New Zealand Government to immediately condemn Israel’s weaponisation of starvation and demand an end to the siege, a permanent ceasefire, and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.
    • All political parties and elected officials to break their silence and act with urgency to prevent further loss of life.
    • The people of Aotearoa to stand up and speak out. Protest. Write. Donate. Mobilise.
    • The media to stop turning away, to report on the famine and the mass suffering of civilians in Gaza with the urgency and humanity it demands.

    As New Zealanders, we have a proud tradition of standing against injustice and apartheid. Now is the time to uphold that legacy, not with words, but with action.

    Gaza is starving. We cannot delay. We must not look away.

  • Will continue to inspire: Tributes pour in on Sheila Dikshit’s death anniversary

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday paid tribute to former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on her death anniversary.

    Taking to social media, Gupta said, “Humble tribute to former Chief Minister of Delhi Smt. Sheila Dikshit ji on her death anniversary.”

    Dikshit, a senior Congress leader and the longest-serving Chief Minister of Delhi, led the city for three consecutive terms from 1998 to 2013.

    Remembering her contribution, the Congress party said on X: “Respectful tribute on the death anniversary of Delhi’s former Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit ji. Her commitment to development and dedication to public service will always continue to inspire us all.”

    Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also paid homage, describing Dikshit as a visionary leader. “On her punyatithi, we pay our heartfelt tributes to the former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who profoundly transformed the city. Her progressive policies and unwavering dedication to the well-being of its citizens created a lasting legacy of inclusivity and growth,” he said.

    Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal also joined in remembering her, saying, “On the death anniversary of Delhi’s former Chief Minister Mrs. Sheila Dikshit, I pay my respectful homage to her.”

    Dikshit entered national politics under the leadership of then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, who included her in his council of ministers in 1984. She represented Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj constituency in the Lok Sabha from 1984 to 1989, serving as Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and later working in the Prime Minister’s Office.

    During her parliamentary tenure, she served on the Estimates Committee of the Lok Sabha and chaired the committee for the commemoration of 40 years of India’s Independence and Jawaharlal Nehru’s centenary. Dikshit also represented India at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women from 1984 to 1989.

    Although she lost the 1998 Lok Sabha elections from East Delhi, Dikshit made a swift political comeback that same year, taking charge as Chief Minister of Delhi. She served three full terms, representing the Gole Market constituency in 1998 and 2003, and the New Delhi constituency from 2008.

    Sheila Dikshit passed away in 2019 at the age of 81.

    Afghanistan has expanded its international trade reach, establishing commercial ties with more than 100 countries worldwide, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has announced.

    “Afghanistan’s international trade now spans over 100 countries, with the overall trade volume reaching around 13 billion U.S. dollars,” said Nooruddin Azizi, acting minister of Industry and Commerce, during a government accountability program.

    Over the past 12 months, 43 countries have used Afghanistan as a transit route to deliver goods to 21 destination countries. During this period, Afghanistan has transited more than 8 million tons of goods, according to Azizi.

    He also noted that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown from 14.58 billion to 17.3 billion dollars.

    The ministry has implemented 85 development projects in 28 out of 34 provinces, creating job opportunities for 142,000 individuals during the cited period.

    Looking ahead, the ministry has set ambitious goals, including a 10 percent increase in GDP, 25 percent growth in exports, attracting 500 million dollars in new investment, and generating over 100,000 new jobs.

  • MIL-OSI China: Messi brace powers Miami past Red Bulls

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Lionel Messi scored two goals and set up another as Inter Miami recovered from a goal down to crush New York Red Bulls 5-1 in the MLS on Saturday.

    German defender Alexander Hack gave the hosts the lead by volleying home from Emil Forsberg’s corner at the near post.

    Messi then sent a sublime through ball into the path of his former Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba, who took a touch before rifling a shot into the far corner.

    Alba turned provider three minutes later as his cut-back allowed Telasco Segovia to fire in a first-time effort from eight yards.

    Inter Miami was suddenly in overdrive and Venezuelan midfielder Segovia made it 3-1 just before halftime as he pounced on a loose ball to slot home from distance.

    Messi extended his side’s lead by running onto Sergio Busquets’ defense-splitting pass from deep inside his own half and rounding goalkeeper Carlos Coronel before rolling the ball into an unguarded net.

    The Florida outfit completed the rout in the 75th minute when Messi chested down Luis Suarez’s cross and smashed his shot into the top-left corner.

    Messi has now scored at least twice in six of his past seven matches. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner now has 18 goals and seven assists in 18 MLS outings this year.

    Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano heaped praise on Messi after the match, saying the Argentine proved yet again why he is one of the greatest players in history.

    “Ultimately, I think any sports fan, not just football fans, admires these types of athletes, whether it’s Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan in his time, Rafa Nadal,” Mascherano told a post-match news conference.

    “These are people who have transcended sports, and the reality is that those of us who have the opportunity to experience this up close are very privileged.”

    The result leaves Inter Miami fifth in the Eastern Conference with 41 points, seven points behind leaders Cincinnati but with three games in hand. New York Red Bulls are ninth, eight points further back.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said it was a delight to meet top executives from TVS Motor Company and commended them for their efforts in capturing the beauty of Kutch.

    Venu Srinivasan, Chairman Emeritus of TVS Motor Company, and Sudarshan Venu, Managing Director, met the Prime Minister and presented him with the TVSM x Rann Utsav 2025 Coffee Table Book.

    “Glad to have met Shri Venu Srinivasan Ji and Mr. Sudarshan Venu. I commend them for their effort to chronicle the beauty of Kutch and also encourage motorcyclists to visit the region,” the Prime Minister said in a post on X.

    The executives described the meeting as an honour.

    “In February this year, TVS Motor Company, in partnership with Gujarat Tourism, curated an extraordinary motorcycling experience at Rann Utsav, showcasing the region’s culture, landscapes, and heritage — inspired by PM Modi’s vision to promote Kutch as a tourist destination among the youth,” they said on X.

    The coffee table book highlights Kutch’s rich heritage and mesmerising landscapes.Created around the theme Saari Muzaafiri, the book captures key locations and destinations in the Rann of Kutch from dawn to dusk, offering a visual treat for readers.

    “We can say with certainty that Kutch is a motorcyclist’s delight! Come, bike there… you will be awestruck for life,” Srinivasan said on X.

    Earlier this year, PM Modi had invited everyone to Gujarat’s iconic Rann Utsav, which concluded in March.

    Promising an unforgettable experience for hodophiles, PM Modi shared a video on X capturing the scenic beauty of Kutch, writing, “Kutch awaits you all! Come, discover the pristine White Rann, the spectacular culture, and the warm hospitality of Kutch during the ongoing Rann Utsav.”

    In a separate LinkedIn post, the Prime Minister wrote: “The White Rann beckons! An unforgettable experience awaits! Come, immerse yourself in a unique mix of culture, history, and breathtaking natural beauty.” The post also featured photos from his visit to Kutch, along with a write-up titled Rann Utsav – A Lifetime Experience.

    Source: Palestine Forum of New Zealand

    The Palestine Forum of New Zealand joins the international cry of alarm: Gaza is starving — and the world must respond with urgency and conscience.

    In recent days, shocking scenes have emerged from Gaza’s hospitals: children too weak to cry, elderly people collapsing from exhaustion, entire families on the brink of death. Medical workers are reporting unprecedented levels of malnutrition and starvation across all age groups. Hundreds are now beyond the reach of aid unless immediate action is taken.

    This is not a humanitarian crisis caused by natural disaster — this is a political crime, the result of Israel’s deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war, in violation of international humanitarian law.

    This is a last-minute call.

    We call on:

    • The Government of Aotearoa New Zealand to speak out forcefully against Israel’s blockade and famine policies, and to use every diplomatic and legal avenue to demand an immediate end to the siege on Gaza.
    • The New Zealand public to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza — through protest, education, advocacy, and humanitarian support.
    • The international community to act now to prevent mass death, and to hold those responsible accountable.

    We also urge faith groups, cultural institutions, unions, student bodies, and tangata whenua to raise their voices and stand alongside our Palestinian whānau in this moment of unprecedented suffering.

    What we are witnessing is not simply a tragedy — it is an atrocity. The starvation of Gaza is not a distant issue. It is a test of our shared humanity.

    Let history not remember our silence. Let us remember our courage.

    GUANGZHOU, July 20 — South China’s Hainan and Guangdong provinces have been placed on high alert as Typhoon Wipha, the sixth typhoon of the year, is expected to make landfall along the coast Sunday afternoon or evening.

    As of 7 a.m. Sunday, Typhoon Wipha was observed at 21.7 degrees north latitude and 114.9 degrees east longitude, with the maximum wind speed near its center reaching 33 meters per second. It is expected to move westward at around 25 km per hour, with its intensity continuing to strengthen, according to meteorological forecasts.

    At 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Hainan raised its emergency response for flood and typhoon control from Level IV to Level III, as strong winds and rainstorms are expected to impact the island province between Sunday and Tuesday, according to the provincial emergency management bureau.

    In the provincial capital of Haikou, various departments are taking precautions ahead of the typhoon.

    The maritime authority is carrying out electronic inspections in affected waters, maintaining real-time vessel monitoring and deploying personnel for on-site checks.

    Water affairs departments have organized drainage teams to inspect and maintain facilities, opened manhole covers in advance to facilitate drainage, and set up warning signs.

    The power department has stationed repair vehicles in key areas, while emergency plans have been activated for vegetable reserves to ensure market supply.

    China’s national observatory issued a yellow alert for Typhoon Wipha on Saturday.

    China has a four-tier emergency response system, with Level I being the most severe response, and a four-tier color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

    Valid 200100Z – 201200Z

    …THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
    NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST…

    …SUMMARY…
    Strong to severe storms remain possible this evening into late
    tonight from parts of the central and northern High Plains into
    parts of the Corn Belt.

    …Central Plains into parts of IA/IL…
    Strong to extreme buoyancy and favorable deep-layer shear (as noted
    on the 00Z OAX sounding) remain in place across much of NE into
    western/central IA. Ongoing supercells will continue to pose a
    threat for large hail, localized severe gusts, and possibly a
    tornado or two through much of the evening.

    A nocturnally strengthening low-level jet may support an increase in
    storm coverage later tonight from eastern NE into parts of IA.
    Potential for organized MCS development remains uncertain, but any
    substantial storm clustering could result in a damaging wind and
    isolated hail threat spreading eastward overnight, potentially
    reaching parts of northern IL before the end of the period.

    …Northern High Plains…
    Widely scattered supercells may persist through much of the evening
    across the northern High Plains, within an environment characterized
    by moderate to strong instability and favorable deep-layer shear (as
    depicted in the 00Z GGW and UNR soundings). Large hail and localized
    severe gusts may accompany the strongest storms. Some modest upscale
    growth is possible late tonight from eastern MT into ND, in
    association with a mid/upper-level shortwave trough moving across
    southern SK. While an isolated severe threat could continue across
    this region into the overnight hours, decreasing instability and
    increasing CINH should eventually result in a gradual weakening
    trend.

    …Mid Atlantic…
    A few strong storms are ongoing this evening from eastern VA into
    NC. Localized wind damage remains possible with the strongest
    remaining storms, though the threat should eventually diminish as
    storms weaken with time and/or move offshore.

    …WI/Lower MI vicinity…
    Some increase in storm coverage remains possible this evening across
    parts of WI and lower MI, in the vicinity of a cold front. Modest
    buoyancy and moderate deep-layer shear could support a strong storm
    or two capable of locally damaging wind.

    Areas affected…Southern Iowa…extreme northeast
    Missouri…west-central Illinois

    Concerning…Severe potential…Watch possible

    Valid 200439Z – 200645Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance…40 percent

    SUMMARY…A small cluster of thunderstorms will pose a risk for
    isolated large hail and strong wind gusts. Should these storms show
    signs of becoming better organized, then watch issuance would be
    possible.

    DISCUSSION…A small cluster of thunderstorms has recently
    intensified over south-central Iowa in the vicinity of an east-west
    frontal boundary. Latest objective analysis shows this area within a
    zone of low-level warm advection, and also within the right entrance
    region of an upper-level jet maximum. Strong instability (MUCAPE in
    excess of 2500 J/kg) and around 40 kts of westerly shear will
    provide a favorable environment for some continued severe hail and
    wind threat, with some non-zero tornado potential in the vicinity of
    the boundary. The primary uncertainty is the degree of organization
    that would result in more than an isolated severe threat. Latest
    hi-res guidance remains varied regarding near-term forecasts for
    these storms, although the potential does exist for increased
    organization over the next few hours. Were this to occur, then watch
    issuance would be possible.

    Convective trends will be monitored closely.
