  • MIL-OSI: Early Signups, Bigger Profits: Cloud Mining Platform, AIXA Miner Expands Its Contracts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DENVER, Colorado, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  As cryptocurrency prices continue an upward trend—driven by Bitcoin’s recent rally past the $115,000 mark—cloud mining platforms are reevaluating how they onboard new users, particularly those entering the market amid increased competition for block rewards. In response, providers are introducing time-sensitive contract options designed to improve early access efficiency and reward entry-level participation with $20 bonus.

    One such example comes from AIXA Miner, which recently adjusted its cloud mining contract structure to accommodate a broader segment of users entering during this bullish market cycle. 

    This development reflects a larger pattern within the industry, as cloud mining continues to evolve beyond static contract models toward more dynamic, reward-calibrated options. A 2025 report from Statista estimates that the global cloud mining market is on track to surpass $7.3 billion by 2028, driven largely by first-time users seeking to earn passive income without directly operating mining hardware.

    “We’re seeing a measurable increase in first-time contract activations this quarter—many of which are coming from regions that were previously underrepresented in cloud mining,” said Amir Nadeem, Head of Product Modeling at AIXA Miner. “The design focus now is on flexible entry points that align with rising energy costs, blockchain congestion, and onboarding demand.”

    AIXA’s recent move includes tiered contract durations and automated yield recalibration based on network fees and power availability. These modifications follow the introduction of AI-backed hash allocation systems earlier this month, allowing platforms to better manage resource deployment across different contract volumes and time zones.

    Industry analysts note that entry-level participation is becoming more important not just for accessibility but for decentralization. As mining becomes more capital-intensive at the industrial scale, cloud mining provides a counterbalance by opening access to retail users—particularly in emerging economies with limited access to crypto infrastructure.

    Additionally, the integration of green blockchain principles is influencing contract design. Energy inputs tied to clean energy crypto sources—such as solar, hydro, and wind—are being tracked more transparently and in some cases weighted into reward schedules. AIXA’s mining operations, for example, span facilities in the U.S., Southeast Asia, and South America, all selected for renewable grid compatibility and regional power subsidies.

    From a sustainability standpoint, this represents a shift from traditional mining frameworks. The AIXA MIner’s Centre for Alternative Finance notes that nearly 40% of global Bitcoin mining is now powered by renewables, but the disparity in efficiency remains large across geographies. Cloud-based platforms that incorporate these considerations early in the user lifecycle are positioned to offer both ethical and financial advantages.

    For users signing up amid this market cycle, the timing is particularly relevant. As network difficulty adjusts in response to increased transaction activity, earlier contracts tend to yield more favourable mining results, especially when tied to AI-optimised deployment strategies. These dynamics are pushing platforms to prioritise contract activation windows and improve time-to-reward for new users.

    “What used to be a static engagement—sign up, lock capital, and wait—is becoming far more responsive,” added Nadeem. “It’s not just about passive income anymore; it’s about smarter income.”

    As crypto mining continues to intersect with retail participation, environmental impact, and institutional demand, cloud mining platforms are under increasing pressure to adapt quickly and responsibly. Updates to user onboarding and contract modelling mark one of several steps toward meeting those expectations.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Is spinal cord stimulation safe? Does it work? Here’s what you need to know if you have back pain

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Caitlin Jones, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Musculoskeletal Health, University of Sydney

    AsiaVision/Getty

    Spinal cord stimulators are electrical devices that are surgically implanted in the body to treat long-term pain. They have a battery pack and leads that deliver electrical impulses directly to the spinal cord. The devices are thought to work by providing electrical impulses that interfere with how the brain senses pain.

    Spinal cord stimulators are mainly used to treat chronic back pain, especially when other less invasive treatments have not worked. They also aim to reduce people’s reliance on risky pain medicines. These include opioids, which research shows are ineffective and harmful for low-back pain.

    But research, including our own, shows spinal cord stimulators work no better than a placebo. And they can also carry risks.

    Do they work?

    In a 2023 Cochrane review, researchers reviewed data from 13 randomised controlled trials on low-back pain and found no benefits in the short and medium term. These international reviews draw together the most robust evidence to provide a detailed summary of what we know on a particular topic.

    Only one of the trials in the review tested efficacy in the longer term (six months). That trial found no benefits of spinal cord stimulation.

    An earlier Cochrane review looked at the evidence of spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain in general, including for neck pain. Reviewers looked at 15 randomised controlled trials and couldn’t be certain about its benefits, largely due to the quality and reliability of the available trials.

    Are there side effects?

    Aside from disappointing results for pain relief, there are risks and side effects to consider.

    We co-authored an analysis of 520 adverse events reported to Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). We found 79% of reported events were rated as severe, with 13% life-threatening. The same research found 80% of events required surgery to correct.

    Our recent analysis in the Medical Journal of Australia looked at data from private health insurers. These cover 90% of spinal cord stimulation implants in Australia. Five major insurers, which covered 76% of privately insured people, contributed de-identified data.

    We found about one-quarter of people who had a spinal cord stimulator implanted needed corrective surgery afterwards. These surgeries occurred within a median of about 17 months. This indicates these surgeries are not routine or expected interventions, such as to replace batteries, which are meant to last five to ten years.

    Our previous research shows the sorts of reasons for corrective surgery. These include to replace a malfunctioning device, or the person was in more pain, had an infection, or a puncture of the delicate tissues covering the spinal cord.

    However, even our latest findings are likely to underestimate the risk of these devices.

    Sometimes the lead delivering the electrical current moves away from the spinal cord to elsewhere in the body. This requires surgery to reposition the lead, but does not necessarily require new hardware, such as a brand new lead. So this type of corrective surgery is not counted in the data from the private health insurance companies.

    How much does it cost?

    We found spinal cord stimulators cost about A$55,000 per patient, including the device, its insertion, and managing any associated additional surgeries.

    For people who only had a “trial” – where the leads are implanted temporarily but the battery pack remains outside the body – this cost was about $14,000 per patient.

    These figures do not include any out-of-pocket costs.

    What do regulators say about the devices?

    In 2022 the TGA began a review of spinal cord stimulators on the market because of safety and performance concerns.

    As a result, several devices were removed from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods – that is, they were banned from use in Australia, but existing stock could still be used.

    The rest of the devices had conditions imposed, such as the manufacturers being required to collect and report safety data to the TGA at regular time points.

    Should I do my own online research?

    Yes, but be careful. Unfortunately not all online information about spinal cord stimulators is correct.

    Look for sites independent of those who manufacture or implant these devices.

    Government agencies, health departments and universities that have no financial interests in this area may be a better option.

    The Cochrane Library is also a reliable and independent source for trustworthy health information.

    What shall I ask my doctor?

    The Australian health department provides useful advice for consumers about medical implants.

    It says medical implants “are considered higher-risk therapeutic goods, and the decision to get one should not be taken lightly”. It recommends asking your health professional these questions:

    • do I really need this medical implant?

    • what are the risks/benefits?

    • is the medical implant approved?

    • where can I get more information?

    • what happens if I experience an adverse event?

    What else could I do for my back pain?

    There are other treatment options that are effective and have fewer risks than spinal cord stimulation.

    For example, education about how to manage your pain yourself, exercise, cognitive behavioural therapy (a type of psychological therapy), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (such as ibuprofen) all have solid evidence to back them. All offer benefits that are not outweighed by their potential risks.

    Australian research has shown other types of therapy – such as sensorimotor retraining and cognitive functional therapy – are also effective. You can discuss these and other options with your health professional.

    Spinal cord stimulation is a good example of a treatment that got ahead of the evidence. Although the devices have been around since the 1960s, we’ve only had reliable trials to test whether they work in recent years.

    Everyone wants to find ways to help people with chronic pain, but we must ensure medical care is grounded in reliable science.

  • MIL-OSI USA News: President Trump Marks Six Months in Office with Historic Successes

    Source: US Whitehouse

    Today, President Donald J. Trump celebrates the most successful first six months in office for any President in modern American history.

    • Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, thereby delivering the largest tax cut in American history, increasing Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300, and terminating benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who were gaming the system.
    • Congress passed President Trump’s historic rescissions package, which will save taxpayers $9 billion in wasteful, politically-motivated funding for leftwing foreign aid scams and biased NPR and PBS.
    • The wholesale price of a dozen eggs is down 53%, or $3.09, since the inauguration and is down 62%, or $5.08, from its March peak.
    • The U.S. economy has now added a net of 671,000 jobs since January 2025, with jobs numbers beating expectations four months in a row. Native-born workers have accounted for all job gains, with native-born employment increasing 2,079,000 while foreign-born employment has fallen 543,000.
    • U.S. Customs and Border Patrol encountered just 6,070 illegal immigrants at the southern border in June — setting a new record low (15% lower than the previous record set in March). Additionally, zero illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. on parole in June, compared to 27,766 a year prior.
    • The administration has ramped up deportations, breaking a record for the number of deportation flights in a month in June. President Trump’s self-deportation push has also been a massive success. Additionally, over 600 known and suspected terrorists have been removed from the United States.
    • At President Trump’s direction, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has arrested over 100,000 illegal alien criminals, including over 2,700 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang.
    • Following President Trump’s declaration of an energy emergency, the U.S. has reached its fastest rate of new oil and gas drilling permits in years, exceeding the Biden administration by 44%.
    • Since President Trump took office, core inflation has tracked at just 2.1% — levels not seen since the first Trump Administration, when prices were low and stable — and has come in below or at economists’ expectations every single month. Meanwhile, wholesale inflation remained flat in June, while import prices came in far below expectations.
    • Summer gas prices reached their lowest point since 2021, and, inflation-adjusted, are near a 20-year low.
    • President Trump’s deregulatory efforts have already saved Americans over $180 billion, or $2,100 per family of four, with the rollback of automobile-related rules alone expected to save consumers more than $1.1 trillion.
    • President Trump secured a historic agreement for NATO members to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP – a foreign policy feat long thought impossible.
    • Under President Trump’s strong and decisive leadership, the U.S. obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.
    • President Trump secured ceasefires between India and Pakistan and Israel and Iran, a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a pathway to stability for Syria.
    • As a result of his historic peacemaking efforts, President Trump has already received three Nobel Peace Prize nominations since returning to office.
    • In May, blue-collar wage growth saw its largest increase in nearly 60 years since President Trump’s return to office.
    • Companies and foreign governments have pledged over $7.6 trillion in investments into the U.S.
    • The U.S. Treasury has taken in nearly $90 billion in tariff duties since January 2025, with the agency posting a record $27.2 billion surplus in June – the first June surplus since 2005.
    • President Trump has once again proved to be the Dealmaker-in-Chief, inking a minerals deal with Ukraine, a $14 billion “perpetual Golden Share” sale of U.S. Steel, and trade deals with the United Kingdom, China, and Indonesia.
    • President Trump has signed over 170 executive orders, delivering on key campaign promises such as closing the border, protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation, removing men from women’s sports, unleashing American energy, ending federal censorship, ending the radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling, and ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing.
    • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq market indices have reached multiple record highs.
    • The Supreme Court consistently bolstered the Trump administration’s agenda, blocking activist judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, permitting “third-country deportations,” greenlighting the revocation of temporary protected status (TPS) from more than 500,000 migrants and approving efforts to shrink the federal bureaucracy.
    • President Trump signed several pieces of landmark legislation, including the Genius Act, the Halt Fentanyl Act, the Laken Riley Act, and the Take It Down Act.
    • The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force all reached their recruitment goals months in advance.
    • The Trump administration has made incredible strides in its effort to Make America Healthy Again, with roughly 35% of the American food industry making a commitment to eliminate the use of artificial dyes, including Hershey, Consumer Brands and dozens of ice cream companies representing more than 90% of the ice cream volume sold in the U.S.
    • President Trump has ensured U.S. benefit programs serve U.S. citizens, with the administration now having protected more than $40 billion in benefit programs from illegal aliens since POTUS signed an Executive Order in February “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.”
    • President Trump inked an agreement to provide billions of dollars of military equipment to Ukraine, with NATO footing the bill.
    • President Trump has cracked down on international cartels, designating eight Latin American cartels as terrorist groups, including Tren de Aragua, MS-13 and the Sinaloa Cartel.
    • President Trump has solidified the U.S.’s position as the world leader in artificial intelligence, attracting north of $1 trillion in AI investment, including $90 billion in groundbreaking AI and energy investments in Pennsylvania.
    • The U.S. is on track for its lowest murder rate on record following President Trump’s reinstatement of law and order.
    • Following President Trump’s February executive order, universities and school systems have stopped allowing men in women’s sports, including the University of Pennsylvania, the Virginia High School League and the University of Maine System.
    • Hospitals and hospital systems across the country have halted so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors following President Trump’s executive order “protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation.”
    • In his first six months, President Trump has met with 23 foreign leaders, including three visits from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as two visits from the NATO Secretary General — compared to thirteen foreign leaders and the UN Secretary General, the NATO Secretary General, and the Chinese Foreign Minister for Obama and just five in-person visits for Biden.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Statement by PJSC NK Rosneft in connection with the illegal EU sanctions against the Nayara Energy refinery

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    PJSC NK Rosneft considers the decision of the European Union to introduce restrictive measures against the Indian Nayara Energy refinery to be unfounded and illegal. These sanctions are another example of the extraterritorial application of politically motivated restrictions that grossly violate international law and infringe on the economic interests of a sovereign state.

    Rosneft emphasizes that it is not the controlling shareholder of Nayara Energy – the Company’s share in the authorized capital of the enterprise is less than 50%. The enterprise is managed by an independent Board of Directors.

    The EU’s reason for imposing sanctions is completely far-fetched and false in content, Nayara Energy is an Indian legal entity whose economic activity is aimed at developing the asset. The company is taxed entirely in India. Nayara Energy shareholders have never received dividends, and the accumulated profits were used exclusively for the development of oil refining and petrochemicals, as well as the company’s retail network in India.

    The Nayara Energy refinery is a strategically important asset of the Indian energy sector, ensuring stable supplies of petroleum products to the country’s domestic market. The introduction of sanctions against the enterprise directly threatens India’s energy security and will negatively affect its economy.

    Such actions by the EU demonstrate a complete disregard not only for international law, but also for the sovereignty of third countries. Rosneft views these sanctions as part of the EU’s destructive policy aimed at destabilizing global energy markets. The restrictions on Nayara Energy are yet another example of the EU using unfair competition practices.

    We expect that Nayara Energy will take measures to protect the legitimate interests of its shareholders and consumers, which will be supported by the governments of Russia and India.

  • MIL-OSI: AIXA Miner Advances Scalable Cloud Mining Solutions as Institutional Blockchain Demand Grows

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Denver, Colorado, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  As the global cryptocurrency infrastructure continues to mature, a growing divide has emerged between large-scale institutional blockchain adoption and the accessibility of underlying mining technologies. In response, leading cloud mining platforms are rethinking how to scale operations while maintaining inclusivity for a broader range of users.

    AIXA Miner, a U.S.-based cloud mining operator, recently announced infrastructure updates aimed at addressing this industry-wide challenge—developments that coincide with a renewed wave of institutional interest in blockchain infrastructure and asset-backed mining contracts.

    According to a 2025 report by Statista, the global cloud mining market is projected to exceed $7.3 billion by 2028, driven largely by enterprise blockchain deployment and passive-income investment models. These trends are reinforcing the need for platforms that can balance regulatory compliance, high-volume hash power, and usability for both corporations and individuals.

    In a press release published on Yahoo Finance earlier this week, AIXA Miner outlined a suite of upgrades including integration with Gemini 2.5 Pro, a real-time AI engine used to optimize mining allocations based on transaction costs and network load. These updates also expanded backend support for large-scale contracts and institutional wallet integrations, timed alongside Bitcoin’s recent surge past $117,000 per coin.

    “What we’re seeing now is a convergence of interest from traditional financial firms and DeFi-native institutions. Many are looking for mining solutions that don’t require hardware investment but still offer performance transparency,” said Elina Chambers, Head of Infrastructure Strategy at AIXA Miner. “Our role is to enable that transition—without excluding individual participants who helped shape the ecosystem.”

    This development reflects a broader industry trend: decentralized infrastructure as a service. As blockchain moves beyond tokenization into supply chains, finance, and data privacy, mining operations are becoming more than just reward generators; they’re foundational compute layers. Institutional investors now demand verifiable uptime, audited compliance, and secure API access for treasury operations, all while being increasingly conscious of sustainability metrics.

    AIXA Miner’s hybrid model, combining contract-based mining for individuals with institutional-grade ASIC/GPU deployment—addresses these priorities through geographic dispersion, energy diversification, and encrypted reporting layers. Recent expansion efforts have centered on renewable-powered data centers across North America and Southeast Asia.

    While these developments are relevant to institutional actors, the company maintains that everyday users remain core to its growth strategy. The platform retains smart contract–based daily payout structures and entry-level plans starting at $100, even as it integrates enterprise wallet compatibility and third-party custodial options.

    From a regulatory standpoint, AIXA’s infrastructure roadmap also appears aligned with the sector’s current direction. In June 2025, the company completed an external audit of its asset verification and system redundancies, a move increasingly expected of platforms serving institutional clients.

    Industry experts note that such dual-tier strategies are likely to become more common as cloud mining seeks to reposition itself from a speculative income source to a standardized financial product. “As cloud mining matures, platforms will need to meet very different requirements on the retail and institutional ends of the spectrum,” said Dr. Lena Moore, a blockchain infrastructure researcher at the University of California. “Scalability will no longer just mean processing power, it will mean operational flexibility, risk mitigation, and reporting transparency.”

    That shift is underscored by developments elsewhere in the crypto sector. In Q2 2025, several exchanges expanded their DeFi analytics platforms to support mining-related metrics, indicating that mining is being folded into broader asset evaluation strategies. Similarly, asset managers are increasingly allocating to mining-yield derivatives and tokenised staking products mechanisms that parallel traditional bond structures.

    In this context, AIXA Miner’s recent platform adaptations represent a relevant case study in the evolution of cloud mining from a niche service into an enterprise-aligned infrastructure solution. Whether the future of mining lies in AI-optimized routing, renewable capacity expansions, or smart wallet integrations, one reality is becoming clear: cloud mining is no longer solely the domain of crypto-native retail users.

    Instead, it is emerging as a structural component of blockchain’s institutional future—one that demands both scale and accessibility in equal measure.

    TOKYO, July 20 (Xinhua) — Japan’s ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Komeito Party will struggle to maintain a majority in the House of Councillors (upper house of parliament) following Sunday’s election, media reported.

    Voting in the upper house elections, where half of the legislators were up for reelection, ended at 8 p.m. local time. The ruling coalition risks losing its majority, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing its exit poll.

    Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s LDP and its coalition partner Komeito need to win at least 50 of the 125 possible seats to secure a majority. NHK predicts they could win between 32 and 51 seats.

    An exit poll by the Kyodo Tsushin news agency also showed the ruling bloc struggling to maintain a majority in the 248-seat House of Councillors.

    The LDP and Komeito currently have 75 seats in the upper house. As Kyodo Tsushin noted, the coalition’s failure to secure another 50 seats in this election will lead to political instability in Japan, as Shigeru Ishiba will have to seek support from opposition parties.

    The ruling coalition has already lost its majority in the more powerful House of Representatives (lower house) in the October 2024 general election, forcing Shigeru Ishiba to form Japan’s first government without a parliamentary majority in more than three decades. –0–

  • MIL-OSI: ALL4 Mining Highlights XRP Breakout: Cryptocurrency Surges Past $3, Daily Profits Become Accessible to All

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ALL4 Mining, a global cloud-based crypto earning platform, highlights the surge of XRP as it crosses the $3 threshold — a major milestone in the cryptocurrency market. This development has helped XRP resurface as one of the most impactful digital assets. After several years of legal proceedings and maturing technology, Ripple’s token is regaining institutional momentum. With increasing global demand, investor confidence is being revived, drawing renewed attention to the XRP ecosystem.

    Behind XRP’s Breakout: What’s Fueling the Growth?
    The rise in XRP’s value is not accidental. It is driven by tangible market developments and enhanced functionality within the Ripple ecosystem.
    Key Catalysts Propelling XRP’s Surge:
    Remedial Legal Proceedings: Ripple’s legal win against the SEC in 2024 removed a significant legal impediment and restored faith in the token. 
    Enterprise Usage: The largest financial institutions-mostly in the U.S., India, U.K., and Japan etc.-have started to use XRP to provide lightning-fast borderless payments. 
    Technical Development: The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has been upgraded to provide smart contracts so many different innovative use-cases can now be introduced and complex financial applications or decentralized applications could be developed. 
    Bigger Footprint: Ripple have made progress in many of the emerging economies, which now includes many out of their ecosystems to include XRP into critical flows of cross-border financial movement. 
    Efficiency: XRP has near lightning speed and is very low fees and would serve as an efficient alternative to traditional incoming payment channels. 
    These fundamentals are reinforcing XRP’s status as a utility-driven asset, rather than a speculative investment.

    QINGDAO, July 20 (Xinhua) — Belarus-China cultural cooperation has become closer in recent years. The forms of cultural interaction between the two countries are constantly updated, and the content of exchanges is enriched, Vladimir Kukharev, Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee (Minsk City Executive Committee), said Saturday while delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of the event titled “Qingdao-Overseas Sister Cities Exchange Month.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: President Museveni Calls for Household Census in Kampala to Refine Parish Development Model (PDM) Budgeting

    Source: APO – Report:

    .

    President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has directed local authorities in Kampala’s five divisions to establish accurate data on the number of households within their jurisdictions to help in the equitable allocation of funds under the Parish Development Model (PDM).

    The call was made on Saturday, July 19, 2025, during his visit to Kyambogo Complex Parish in Nakawa Division, where he met with PDM beneficiaries, including a standout success story, Ms. Mbabazi Lillian.

    The President emphasized the need for a data-driven approach to planning and budgeting for the PDM program, highlighting that the uniform allocation of UGX 100 million per parish annually is insufficient for urban centers with dense populations and high demand for financial support.

    “So, this is the kibalo (calculation) I want in the town: to know how many parishes and how many homesteads are in each parish so that when we plan, we shall give over one million, plus some additional funding, based on the number of homes in that parish,” said President Museveni.

    He noted that urban parishes, like those in Kampala, are experiencing overwhelming demand for PDM funds, and the current funding structure fails to cater effectively to the high number of eligible households.

    During the meeting, President Museveni who was accompanied by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataaha Museveni, also toured the poultry enterprise of Ms. Mbabazi, a PDM beneficiary who used her UGX 1 million funding to launch a successful poultry business.

    Mbabazi initially purchased 125 broiler chicks with UGX 350,000 and invested the remaining funds in feed and poultry housing. After a month, she sold the broilers for UGX 1.5 million and reinvested in a second round, earning UGX 2.6 million. Her success did not stop there. She later bought 250 more chicks at UGX 700,000 and sold them for UGX 3.2 million. Eventually, she transitioned into layer chicken farming for egg production, purchasing chicks at UGX 6,500 each. After three months, her hens began laying, and she now collects six trays of eggs daily.

    Standing beside her husband, Mr. Samuel Rukundo, Mbabazi expressed gratitude to the President and the government for initiating the PDM.

    “Now I have some achievement because I was badly off due to COVID-19. My children now go to school, and we’re doing well. I have UGX 3 million in savings and have also started a small juice and chips business,” she said.

    Despite her success, she voiced concern over her lack of permanent land, stating that her current residence is on Kyambogo University property, which restricts her expansion.

    Moved by her story, President Museveni congratulated Mbabazi for exemplifying the benefits of PDM when effectively implemented.

    He offered her UGX 10 million to scale up her poultry business and pledged to buy her two acres of land for permanent settlement and farming.

    “When I come here and see that Rukundo and Mbabazi have implemented one of the seven items under the four-acre model, then I feel very happy,” President Museveni stated.

    Additionally, the President extended UGX 10 million in cash to each PDM beneficiary from the Kyambogo complex parish.

    President Museveni used the opportunity to reflect on Uganda’s economic transformation journey since independence. He underscored the challenge of transitioning the population from subsistence farming to a money economy, citing that in the 1960s, only 4% of households were integrated into the monetary system.

    He explained that Uganda’s traditional economy revolved around “3 Cs and 3 Ts”—cotton, copper, coffee, tobacco, tea, and tourism. While some communities, particularly in Buganda and Northern Uganda, engaged in commercial farming, the majority remained in subsistence agriculture.

    “In my district, Ntungamo, there were six shops for Indians and Arabs. But we had land, banana plantations, and cows, just for home consumption. This has been our struggle,” President Museveni said.

    To reverse this, he initiated the four-acre model, a strategic framework advocating for diversified farming focusing on items such as coffee, fruits, pasture for dairy, food crops, and backyard enterprises such as poultry, piggery, or fish farming.

    “Those who listened have moved. Masaka focused on coffee and is doing well. Poultry and dairy are also transforming lives,” he remarked.

    President Museveni narrated the historical evolution of government-led wealth creation initiatives, from the Entandikwa program through LC structures to NAADS and eventually Operation Wealth Creation (OWC). While OWC saw a marked improvement in integrating Ugandans into the money economy, reaching 61% by 2020, President Museveni expressed discontent over reports of favoritism by UPDF officers.

    “I started hearing stories that the soldiers were “baali beegabira bokka” (giving to friends and relatives), spoiling the name of the UPDF. I told them, let the army get out. Let’s give money directly to people at their parishes. If they misuse it, God is there; he will deal with them,” the President said.

    He cited the success of Mbabazi as a vindication of the shift to direct disbursement of funds under the PDM.

    Highlighting the case of Kawempe Division, President Museveni noted that with 22 parishes each receiving UGX 100 million annually, a total of UGX 6.6 billion has been injected into approximately 7,000 households over the past three years.

    “This money, if used wisely, can transform lives. You don’t need a moneylender who charges UGX 400,000 per month, UGX 5.8 million a year. With PDM, you return UGX 1 million plus UGX 120,000 interest in two years,” H.E. Museveni explained, further urging beneficiaries to understand the revolving nature of PDM and not expect lump-sum access to the fund, emphasizing that with patience, all will benefit.

    President Museveni’s visit to Kyambogo marked one of the penultimate events of his nationwide PDM sensitization tour, which has seen him crisscross the country to evaluate impact, inspire uptake, and recalibrate the program’s delivery.

    The grand finale will be held on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala, where a mega rally is expected to draw thousands of Kampala residents.

    The event in Kyambogo was also attended by key government figures, including Government Chief Whip Hon. Hamson Denis Obua, National PDM Coordinator Hon. Denis Galabuzi Ssozi, KCCA Executive Director, Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki and her deputy Mr. Benon Kigenyi, Presidential Advisors Hajjat Sarah Kanyike and Hon. Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi, among others.

    Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among those with the highest attendance in Parliament, noting that the Prime Minister makes it a point to attend proceedings unless he is travelling abroad or visiting a state for official engagements.

    Briefing the media after an all-party meeting convened ahead of the Monsoon Session, the Minister hit out at the Opposition parties’ attempts to create an unnecessary controversy over PM Modi’s presence during proceedings.

    “Demanding the Prime Minister’s presence at all times in the House is against established norms,” Mr. Rijiju said. “Whenever questions pertaining to the Prime Minister’s Ministry are scheduled during Question Hour, he is present. He has not missed such proceedings.”

    The Minister reiterated the government’s readiness to engage with the Opposition on national issues and pending legislation during the upcoming session. He noted that 51 parties participated in the meeting, with many raising demands for smoother functioning of the House.

    Responding to concerns raised by smaller parties over inadequate speaking time, Mr. Rijiju said the matter would be taken up for appropriate redress. “It is the joint responsibility of the government and the Opposition to ensure Parliament functions smoothly,” he said.

    The Monsoon Session of Parliament is scheduled to commence on July 21 and will continue till August 21, with 21 sittings planned.

    The Centre on Sunday convened an all-party meeting in the national capital, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju urging all political parties to ensure the smooth functioning of the House.

    Briefing reporters after the meeting, Rijiju said the government was ready to hold discussions on several key issues, including Operation Sindoor. “The government noted the suggestions of various parties. We have appealed to both the ruling and Opposition sides to work in coordination. Irrespective of ideological differences, it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure the proper functioning of Parliament,” he said.

    Rijiju described the meeting as “constructive” and said representatives from 51 parties participated. “A total of 54 leaders attended, with 40 putting forth the views of their parties. The Opposition shared their priorities; so did NDA partners and non-aligned parties,” he said, adding that final decisions on the schedule of discussions would be taken by the Business Advisory Committee.

    On the Opposition’s demand for a discussion on Operation Sindoor — India’s evacuation operation in West Asia — Rijiju said, “This is a very good suggestion. Delegations to countries after the operation were well received. All those experiences should be shared in Parliament.”

    He also addressed the impeachment motion against Justice Yashwant Verma, saying more than 100 MPs have signed the motion and that the process will be undertaken with consensus. “This is not just a government initiative,” he said.

    The Monsoon Session is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 21.

    The government is set to introduce several bills, including the Manipur GST (Amendment) Bill, Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Bill, and the National Sports Governance Bill. Also on the agenda are the Indian Ports Bill, Income Tax Bill, Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, and the Geoheritage Sites and Geo-relics (Preservation and Maintenance) Bill.

    As part of ongoing parliamentary reforms, the Lok Sabha Secretariat has initiated digitisation and transparency measures under the guidance of the Speaker.

  • Amit Shah inaugurates projects worth ₹1,271 crore at Uttarakhand Investment Festival 2025

    Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Saturday inaugurated and laid foundation stones for development projects worth ₹1,271 crore in Uttarakhand, during the ‘Uttarakhand Investment Festival 2025’ held in Dehradun. The event also marked the realization of ₹1 lakh crore worth of investment in the hill state, following commitments made during the 2023 Global Investors Summit.

    The event was attended by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan, Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Ajay Tamta, and Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, among other dignitaries.

    Speaking at the event, Shah praised the state government for successfully translating investment MoUs into action. “At the 2023 Global Investors Summit, Uttarakhand received MoUs worth ₹3.56 lakh crore. Today, ₹1 lakh crore worth of investments have materialized, creating over 81,000 jobs. Ancillary industries are expected to generate another 2.5 lakh employment opportunities,” he said.

    Shah lauded the Dhami-led administration for maintaining a balance between industrial growth and environmental sustainability. “Bringing investment to a landlocked, hilly state like Uttarakhand is no small feat. But the Chief Minister has achieved this by ensuring transparent policies, swift implementation, and strategic planning,” he added.

    Highlighting Uttarakhand’s spiritual and cultural importance, Shah described it as the “Dev Bhoomi,” and emphasized that no force could hinder its progress. “This is the land of one Jyotirlinga, three Shakti Peethas, the Char Dham, Panch Prayag, Panch Kedar, and Sapt Badri. Uttarakhand represents a confluence of nature, culture, and spirituality,” he said.

    He announced that infrastructure projects like the ₹2,700 crore Govind Ghat–Hemkund Sahib ropeway and the ₹4,000 crore Sonprayag–Kedarnath ropeway would further boost tourism. “Once the Char Dham all-weather road project is complete, tourists will visit Uttarakhand year-round,” he said.

    The home minister also targeted the opposition for allegedly obstructing development works. “The practice of disrupting state development must stop. When the state progresses, it is the responsibility of every political party to support it,” he remarked.

    On national development, Shah said that the Modi government had shattered the belief that industrial progress and welfare couldn’t go hand in hand. “From free food grains to over 80 crore people, to free medical treatment under Ayushman Bharat, to tap water and toilets for crores of households — these efforts prove inclusive growth is possible,” he said.

    Shah further added that Uttarakhand was benefiting from stable policies and sector-specific initiatives such as tourism, AYUSH, startups, film policy, and logistics. Ayurveda, yoga, organic farming, and natural therapies, he said, would form the four pillars of the state’s development.

    Drawing comparisons with the UPA era, Shah said that while the previous government provided ₹53,000 crore to Uttarakhand between 2004 and 2014, the Modi-led government had allocated ₹1.86 lakh crore from 2014 to 2024. “This includes ₹31,000 crore for roads, ₹40,000 crore for railways, and ₹100 crore for airport development. Overall, the funding has been more than four times higher,” he said.

    Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation for a developed India by 2047, and that dream would not be possible without the holistic development of small and eastern states, including Uttarakhand.

  • Peace will be established by destroying entire terror machinery, says J&K L-G

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said on Sunday that peace in the Union Territory will not be purchased but established by dismantling the entire terror machinery.

    Speaking at a function here, the L-G emphasized that the administration is not working to “buy peace,” but to build a lasting and just one in the region.

    Sinha said that while no innocent person will be harmed, the guilty will not be spared. He also highlighted the pivotal role being played by the J&K Police in dismantling the terror ecosystem.

    “J&K Police has a crucial responsibility to eliminate the support system of terrorists, whether financial, logistical, or otherwise. It is not just the terrorists who must be dealt with, but the entire machinery that supports them,” the L-G stressed.

    He criticised the past approach in which individuals linked to terror activities were given government jobs, while victims of terrorism were neglected and left to fend for themselves.

    “The administration is now actively working to rehabilitate families who have suffered at the hands of terrorists. Many have lost their loved ones. In some homes, only elderly parents remain after their sons were brutally killed. Thousands were murdered at the behest of Pakistan. On July 13, forty terror victim families in Baramulla were provided appointment letters,” he said.

    “Some youths lost their fathers when they were just two years old. Today, we are ensuring that their pain is acknowledged and justice is delivered.

  • Peace will be established by destroying entire terror machinery, says J&K L-G

    Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said on Sunday that peace in the Union Territory will not be purchased but established by dismantling the entire terror machinery.

    Speaking at a function here, the L-G emphasized that the administration is not working to “buy peace,” but to build a lasting and just one in the region.

    Sinha said that while no innocent person will be harmed, the guilty will not be spared. He also highlighted the pivotal role being played by the J&K Police in dismantling the terror ecosystem.

    “J&K Police has a crucial responsibility to eliminate the support system of terrorists, whether financial, logistical, or otherwise. It is not just the terrorists who must be dealt with, but the entire machinery that supports them,” the L-G stressed.

    He criticised the past approach in which individuals linked to terror activities were given government jobs, while victims of terrorism were neglected and left to fend for themselves.

    “The administration is now actively working to rehabilitate families who have suffered at the hands of terrorists. Many have lost their loved ones. In some homes, only elderly parents remain after their sons were brutally killed. Thousands were murdered at the behest of Pakistan. On July 13, forty terror victim families in Baramulla were provided appointment letters,” he said.

    “Some youths lost their fathers when they were just two years old. Today, we are ensuring that their pain is acknowledged and justice is delivered. Naya Jammu and Kashmir is not just a slogan—it is a reality that has evolved over the past few years. Now, pens and laptops have replaced stones in the hands of the youth. Schools and colleges remain open year-round without hartals. The days of separatist slogans and shutdown calendars are over,” the L-G added.

  • MIL-OSI China: American ginseng farmers grappling with uncertainty amid trade tensions

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

    While scorching heat grips most of America in early July, Wisconsin’s Marathon County offers a striking exception: cool breezes whisper through shaded areas with almost autumnal crispness, while nighttime temperatures regularly dip below 20 degrees Celsius — a refreshing anomaly in the sweltering national landscape.

    “This place is the only place that is producing quality ginseng in the United States,” said Dave Schumacher, vice president of the Ginseng Board of Wisconsin, a state-mandated marketing board established in 1991 and overseen by the state of Wisconsin. The ideal climate and the soil here in Wisconsin give ginseng “that real strong bitter flavor, then that little sweetness that comes after that.”

    “You don’t see that in any other region that grows ginseng,” Schumacher said, highlighting the area’s distinctive qualities.

    At its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, over 1,200 ginseng farmers here in Wisconsin were producing over 2 million pounds of ginseng a year. “It really was an economic boom for this area, and also for the state of Wisconsin,” recalled Schumacher, his voice tinged with pride for the region’s boom years.

    The industry has since been in decline. “We went from over 1,200 growers to 79 growers now. And that will decrease another 12 growers in the next two years,” Schumacher lamented.

    Ginseng production, he said, had declined by 60 percent from its peak to about 1 million pounds. The number could drop even further in the future, unless there is a change in the overall market price.

    Ginseng production in Wisconsin has encountered multiple challenges in recent decades. Market pressures mounted as more countries entered the ginseng trade, compounded by climatic threats like Wisconsin’s freak May 2010 snowstorm that buried crops under six inches of snow, wiping out tons of mature plants.

    Tariffs are the latest challenge facing ginseng farmers in Wisconsin.

    “I have tasted the ups and downs in the past 13 years,” said Jiang Mingtao, who started to grow ginseng in Marathon County in 2012. “We harvested our first crop in 2015, and back then, the price was three times what it is today.”

    Jiang said the greatest damage to his ginseng business — from the first round of the trade war to the current tensions — has been the uncertainty.

    He explained that American ginseng takes three to five years to grow from seed to maturity, and frequent policy shifts have disrupted long-term planning. “We’re an industry that hopes for orderly development,” he said.

    Despite its global reputation, Wisconsin ginseng production accounts for only about 8 percent of the global total. “The trade war is like adding insult to injury,” Jiang said.

    Asia has long been the traditional market for American ginseng, with about 80 percent of Wisconsin’s production ultimately making its way to China, according to Schumacher. “It’ll either go directly in large shipments or else it may be carried in as gifts.”

    “China is very important to us,” he added. “We enjoy talking to them (the Chinese people), and overall, they’re important to us, and we hope in the future that everything turns out well.”

    Paul Hsu, chairman and founder of Hsu’s Ginseng Enterprises, Inc., has been growing ginseng in Wisconsin for 50 years. Trade tensions triggered layoffs for one-third of Hsu’s employees and closure of five out of his 40 farms.

    “I have two companies in China, each with 10 branches scattered in nine provinces. Now the ten branches have merged into seven and all of them were shrinking,” said the 83-year-old.

    Hsu revealed a harsh economic reality: while production costs — from labor to fertilizers — have skyrocketed almost sixfold over the past four decades, Wisconsin ginseng prices remain frozen at 1980s levels. “People are less and less interested in planting because it is not profitable,” he said.

    Facing unprecedented pressures, these growers still cherish their bond with Wisconsin’s century-old ginseng tradition — all three firmly rejecting any thought of giving up ginseng growing.

    As a second-generation ginseng farmer, Schumacher said that his nephew is planning on taking over the business after he retires. “So thankfully, I think our family tradition will continue in the ginseng industry.”

    Cambodia’s national flag carrier, Air Cambodia, has launched its first direct flight between northwest Cambodia’s Siem Reap province and southern China’s Shenzhen city, the airline operator said in a press release.

    Air Cambodia flight K6929 landed at the Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI) on Friday from Shenzhen, carrying a full load of passengers.

    “This marks the inauguration of the first direct flight route between Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Shenzhen,” the press release said.

    The SAI held a water salute to welcome the inaugural flight under the presence of Chea Aun, standing secretary of state at Cambodia’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, Siem Reap Deputy Governor Ngouv Sengkak, and Hang Sandap, undersecretary of state at Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism, among others.

    Zhan David, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Air Cambodia, said the launch of this new route is expected to significantly boost tourist flows from China’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to Cambodia.

    “It not only facilitates tourism from the Greater Bay Area and beyond but also encourages large numbers of European and American tourists currently in Siem Reap to travel to China,” he said.

    Zhan added that the new route will also inject fresh momentum into the Cambodia-China Tourism Year 2025.

    According to the press release, the direct flight is operated weekly, departing Siem Reap every Thursday at 9:30 p.m. local time and returning from Shenzhen to Siem Reap at 6:20 a.m. on Friday.

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

    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.
