  • MIL-OSI Russia: Russia produces hundreds of thousands of fiber-optic drones every month.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    As part of a working visit to the Novgorod Region, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, together with Acting Governor of the Region Alexander Dronov, familiarized himself with the activities of industrial enterprises in the region.

    “Our industry demonstrates sustainable growth from year to year. Thank you and the Federal Ministry of Industry and Trade for your support, all our requests find a response from your colleagues,” stressed Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region Alexander Dronov.

    The First Deputy Prime Minister visited one of the production sites of the fiber-optic drones “Prince Vandal Novgorodsky”. The drone, developed in Novgorod land, was first used in the SVO in August 2024 in the Kursk direction and is currently the most effective fpv drone in the world in terms of cost/effectiveness. During its use in the SVO zone, the KVN drone destroyed enemy equipment worth more than $2 billion. The production of fiber-optic drones in Russia is growing, and today domestic enterprises can produce hundreds of thousands of such drones per month, fully satisfying any needs of the Armed Forces.

    During a visit to JSC Special Design and Technology Bureau for Relay Technology, part of the Ruselectronics holding company of the Rostec state corporation, the First Deputy Prime Minister was presented with innovative serial products of the enterprise, as well as promising projects for the creation of modern domestic electronic components based on materials and components manufactured in Russia.

    Among the new products of SKTB RT is a line of microwave modules. The devices, which will replace American, German and French analogues, are capable of withstanding multiple impacts with acceleration up to 50g and operating at temperatures from -60 to 85 degrees Celsius. It is important to note that the use of a modern domestic electronic component base reduces the price of new microwave modules by 40-55% compared to foreign analogues.

    Another enterprise included in the working trip was the branch of the scientific and production corporation “Precision Instrument-Making Systems” in Veliky Novgorod, which is involved in the development and production of electronic modules and units for systems for measuring the parameters of space objects’ movement, hardware and software systems for providing the GLONASS global navigation system, as well as inter-satellite laser systems for exchanging broadband information.

    The First Deputy Prime Minister, in particular, was shown other products of the enterprise: serial production of microprocessor knee modules “Active-2” for people with lower limb amputations has been launched here.

    Denis Manturov visited the site of the innovative scientific and technological center “Intelligent Electronics – Valdai”, created on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin in 2021. The territory of the INTC houses the advanced engineering school of Novgorod University, the programming school from Sber “School 21”, as well as about 60 residents of the center, including companies from the fields of radio electronics, control system software, and the industrial Internet of things.

    As part of the construction of the new stage of the ISTC, which is planned to be completed in 2026, a new laboratory building for semiconductor materials science will be created. Research and development of high-performance heterostructures for the modern electronics industry based on semiconductor materials will be organized there, as well as a full cycle of production of microassemblies and microcircuits – from processing silicon substrates to casing and packaging finished products.

    “Novgorod enterprises are involved in the production of products for the implementation of special military operation tasks. As part of the diversification of production, these same enterprises are actively developing the production of civilian products, and the university where we are today works in close cooperation with them,” Denis Manturov noted, summing up the results of the working trip.

    The First Deputy Prime Minister also instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to study the possibility of recapitalizing the regional industrial development fund of the Novgorod region to support projects for the production of high-tech products.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Man who posted support on social media for terrorist groups jailed

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    A man who posted supportive messages on social media about proscribed terrorist groups as well as antisemitic posts has been jailed.

    Zakir Hussain, 30 (09.01.95) of Harlow, was arrested in March last year after officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command linked him to an X account posting statements in support of Hamas and Hizballah.

    Writing on account ‘@lewiswarren911”, Hussain posted a series of messages on X between November 2023 and January 2024 that celebrated the October 7 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. He also wrote numerous antisemitic comments, including praise for the actions of Adolf Hitler.

    Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “This investigation started as the result of an anonymous report by a member of the public appalled by the content of Hussain’s X account.

    “Our Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) assessed the content of the posts as being in breach of terrorism legislation and a proactive investigation was launched.

    “This case demonstrates, yet again, that we will act when we receive information about social media content that is unlawful. When this happens those responsible can expect to be investigated and prosecuted where the evidence allows.”

    At the time of his arrest, Hussain was already serving a suspended sentence for a conviction of malicious communications offences committed in 2021 and 2022. This involved him sending threatening and abusive posts on X to the sister of a man who died in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.

    Hussain was charged on 27 March last year with four counts of supporting a proscribed organization, contrary to section 12 (1A) of the Terrorism Act 2000 and seven counts of publishing threatening, abusive or insulting material, contrary to section 19 of the Public Order Act.

    Hussain pleaded guilty to all the charges on the first day of his trial at the Old Bailey on Thursday, 20 March. He was sentenced at the same court on 26 June to five years and eight months’ imprisonment, plus another three years on extended licence.

    He has been remanded in custody for the past year.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Qatar Confirms Unprecedented Humanitarian Deterioration in Gaza Due to Israeli Aggression

    Source: Government of Qatar

    Geneva – June 26, 2025

    The State of Qatar has confirmed that the Israeli occupation’s aggression against the Gaza Strip, ongoing since October 2023, has caused an unprecedented deterioration in the humanitarian situation. The escalation has resulted in widespread starvation and the deliberate destruction of essential infrastructure, amounting to what Qatar described as a campaign of mass extermination.

    This  came in a statement delivered by Mr. Hamad Muhammad Al-Suwaidi, Second Secretary of Qatar’s Permanent Delegation in Geneva, during his participation in the 2025 session of the International Telecommunication Union. The session included a review of international assistance and support provided to Palestine. 

    Mr. Hamad Muhammad Al-Suwaidi stated that the destruction of the telecommunications sector in the Gaza Strip is not merely the loss of a technical service, but the collapse of a vital infrastructure that affects every aspect of daily life for Gaza’s residents. He emphasized that this collapse has severely worsened both humanitarian and living conditions in the Strip.

    Al-Suwaidi pointed out that the Palestinian telecommunications sector was already fragile due to long-standing Israeli restrictions on its development. Despite this, it has not been spared from Israeli bombardment. He noted that more than 74% of the sector’s infrastructure and assets—including information technology systems—have been destroyed. Many cellular network towers and sites are out of service due to bombing, severe fuel shortages, the prevention of importing essential equipment and spare parts, and tight restrictions on the movement of maintenance crews.

    In this context, Mr. Hamad Muhammad Al-Suwaidi welcomed the steps taken by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to implement Resolution 1424, issued by the ITU Council in 2024. He emphasized the need for a clear and actionable executive plan to ensure the full and urgent implementation of the resolution. Al-Suwaidi stressed that such a plan is essential to overcoming the challenges facing the information and communications technology (ICT) sector in the State of Palestine. He underscored the importance of ensuring fair and comprehensive access to communication and internet services for all Palestinians. He also called for urgent international efforts to support the reconstruction of this vital sector following the end of the war on Gaza.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Office of the Governor – News Release – Gov. Green Bolsters the Judiciary Through Signing of Key Legislation

    Source: US State of Hawaii

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    June 26, 2025

    HONOLULU – Governor Josh Green, M.D., signed three bills into law today in support of the Hawai‘i State Judiciary’s efforts to facilitate fair and effective justice, promote rehabilitation and reduce recidivism.

    The signed legislation includes the Judiciary’s budget bill, which appropriates funds to meet the resource needs — ensuring that the courts function efficiently and continue to serve the people of our state at a time when demand for judicial services is increasing. Additional measures support initiatives aimed at bridging gaps in the justice system, particularly for nonviolent offenders who are disproportionately affected and face a higher risk of recidivism due to their circumstances.

    “This is a proud moment. Signing these bills demonstrates the power of collaboration between all branches of government to advance legislation that strengthens Hawai‘i’s judiciary and benefits the people we serve,” said Governor Green. “We are not only facilitating change — we are doing so through a restorative approach that addresses the root causes of recidivism.”

    “These justice reform bills strengthen the support systems that help people avoid legal trouble in the future and make the community safer,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Karl Rhoads (District 13 – Dowsett Highlands, Pu‘unui, Nu‘uanu, Pacific Heights, Pauoa, Punchbowl, Pālama, Liliha, Iwilei, Chinatown and Downtown). “By expanding key programs like the Adult Client Services Branch, Community Outreach Court and Women’s Court, we are building a more effective justice system that helps keep our communities in Hawai‘i safer and stronger.”

    HB 400: RELATING TO THE JUDICIARY
    House Bill 400, Act 227, appropriates $214 million for fiscal year 2026 and $212 million for fiscal year 2027 for the Judiciary’s operating budget. The funds established in this bill will support operating costs and new permanent staff positions, including an additional District Court Judge and support staff in Kona. The bill also funds the permanent establishment of three specialty courts on O‘ahu: Women’s Court, Driving While Impaired Court, and Truancy Court and Early Education Intervention Court, as well as essential support for cybersecurity and technology costs across the judiciary.

    Additional funds are appropriated in the budget for the planning and design of a new South Kohala District Courthouse to improve access to judicial services for residents on the Hawaiʻi island.

    By signing this measure, Governor Green ensures that residents across the island chain continue to have access to essential judicial services that grow in step with the evolving needs of the judicial system.

    HB 727: RELATING TO THE WOMEN’S COURT
    In response to the increasing number of women in the criminal justice system, a need arose to assist nonviolent women in the criminal justice system by providing resources and guidance to those who have suffered abuse, trauma, poverty, substance-use disorders and mental illness. From Session Laws of Hawai‘i 2022, Act 243 established Mohala Wahine, a three-year pilot program that offers women at high risk of recidivism access to critical resources such as substance abuse treatment, housing assistance, and therapy, while helping nurture and educate participants throughout the program.

    HB 727, now Act 228, makes the Mohala Wahine pilot program permanent in the First Circuit Court of O‘ahu, continuing its invaluable work supporting the most vulnerable women. To further expand access to trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, HB 727 additionally establishes a two-year Women’s Court pilot program in the Third Circuit Court in Kona. This new program addresses a critical need for community-based services on Hawai‘i Island and offers the same supportive services established under Mohala Wahine. This measure appropriates $514,900 for fiscal year 2026 and $557,000 for fiscal year 2027.

    “HB727, championed by the Women’s Legislative Caucus, seeks to permanently establish the Mohala Wahine program in the First Circuit as a proven alternative to incarceration and a pathway to reintegration for women,” said Representative Mahina Poepoe, introducer of the bill and vice chair of the House Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs Committee. “I believe that all women who find themselves in a position of being involved with our court system for nonviolent offenses could benefit from having the option of a pathway that avoids incarceration. Many of these women are mothers and caregivers  and with personalized, supportive care focused on healing rather than punishment, we can help them rehabilitate. Expanding this program to Hawaiʻi Island will strengthen families and communities across our state.”

    BOATING ENGINEER BLOWN AWAY BY POHOIKI DREDGING PROGRESS

     

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

    June 26, 2025

     

    PUNA DISTRICT, Hawai‘i Island – It’s the largest dredging job ever for the DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR). The removal of 42,000 cubic yards of black sand, rocks and boulders, deposited by the 2018 eruption of Kilauea, has been underway for two weeks to clear the boat ramp at Pohoiki. Forty-two-thousand cubic yards in volume is equivalent in size to 42,000 large refrigerators.

    When DOBOR Engineer Finn McCall made a site visit to Pohoiki on Tuesday, he was astounded by the progress crews from the contractor, Goodfellows Bros., LLC, have made, particularly with a required completion of next February, and a stated expectation of November.

    “I mean I’m absolutely blown away. I was not expecting them to get this far. I’d say they’re about halfway done with the excavation portion of the project. So, it’s looking really good. Looking like we may be done ahead of schedule,” McCall said.

    Heavy equipment is being used to scoop large buckets of volcanic debris from near the boat ramp to near the shoreline. Once the inner basin is cleared, a crane will be brought to the site to create a wide entrance.

    McCall added, “The entrance will be approximately 320 feet wide. There really wasn’t a channel before. It was just an open bay, but the designated entrance, I think, was 40 feet.”

    Pohoiki and the adjoining Isaac Hale Beach Park have long been a gathering place for people and families to have fun. The boat ramp was critical to Puna area fishers and since it was blocked, boats have had to launch from and travel to and from the Wailoa Small Boat Harbor in Hilo. It was expensive and time consuming and several small commercial fishing operations reportedly went out of business during the blockage. 

    “This has been one of the highest-priority projects I’ve worked on. The community is excited, and fishermen can’t wait to have the ramp and entrance restored,” McCall said.

    He describes the Pohoiki dredging as unprecedented. For most dredging projects at state small boat harbors, fine sediment and sand is removed. For this one, a lot of heavy material is being hauled away.

    Most harbors need to be dredged every seven or eight years. “For Pohoiki it remains to be seen. We really can’t predict how quickly the new channel might fill back in and how soon we’d have to dredge. We’re just going to have to closely monitor it after the project is complete,” McCall concluded.

    Many people have enjoyed the “hot pond” that formed at the bottom of the blocked boat ramp. People are reminded that entering the project area to swim is strictly prohibited as it is an active construction area.

  • MIL-OSI: Bitget Leads Altcoin Liquidity Among Major Crypto Exchanges, According to CoinGecko Report

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is now the most liquid platform for altcoins within the 0.3–0.5% price interval, as per reports released by CoinGecko analyzing centralized exchange (CEX) liquidity across key digital assets. This finding comes from a comparative study of order book depth across major trading venues including Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, and Coinbase.

    The report, titled “2025 State of Crypto Liquidity on CEXes,” examined order book snapshots and deviation spreads for top-traded tokens such as BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and DOGE. It measured liquidity within various price intervals from the mid-market rate, providing a granular view of the actual executable volume for traders. While Binance retained the largest depth for Bitcoin, Bitget outperformed all other platforms in terms of liquidity provisioning for non-BTC assets in the mid-depth trading band.

    The analysis highlighted that Bitget consistently maintained superior liquidity for altcoins—particularly within the 0.3% to 0.5% spread from market price—suggesting a favorable trading environment for investors seeking tighter spreads and reduced slippage outside of Bitcoin-heavy strategies. This result positions Bitget as the preferred platform for altcoin traders, as tighter spreads often signal healthier market participation and reduced execution costs.

    “Altcoin liquidity is a measurement for market depth, and this ranking shows how far Bitget has come. Today, institutions drive 80% of our spot volume, futures activity from professional firms has doubled, and 80% of top quant funds trade on Bitget. Liquidity is infrastructure — and we’re building it where the market needs it most,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

    CoinGecko’s liquidity evaluation focused not just on headline volumes but on actual order book thickness and slippage tolerance at different price bands, making it a more accurate reflection of trading experience. Bitget’s strong presence in these middle bands shows its capacity to sustain meaningful trading depth beyond high-cap assets, which remains a challenge for many centralized platforms.

    In an increasingly fragmented liquidity landscape, the report suggests that Bitget’s performance could be attributed to active market-making infrastructure, listing strategy, and strong retail and institutional participation in the altcoin segment. The findings are particularly relevant as trading costs and depth disparities remain a priority for professional traders and funds operating across multiple venues.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Experts from the capital’s consumer portal gave recommendations for online shopping

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Online shopping has become an integral part of city residents’ lives. It can be done at any time of the day, it allows you to save time on going to the store, and also choose goods from a wider range and often at lower prices than in retail outlets. But despite the obvious advantages of distance selling, it also has disadvantages – often purchases are not delivered on time, and the quality of the purchased goods does not meet expectations. Experts capital consumer portalgave simple recommendations on what to pay attention to when shopping online, how to defend your rights and avoid falling for the tricks of scammers.

    “When choosing and paying for food, clothing, footwear or medicines on the websites of stores and marketplaces, a number of features should be taken into account. They are described in detail in the materials of the capital’s consumer portal. Step-by-step instructions are also published here to help return goods and protect consumer rights in the event of disputes. For the convenience of city residents, all thematic materials are collected in the “Remote Selling” section. In addition, you can quickly find the expert’s advice you need by entering a query in the search bar,” the press service of the capital said.

    Department of Information Technology.

    What You Need to Know About Online Trading

    The main feature of distance selling is that the buyer cannot examine the product in person before purchasing it. Therefore, the seller is obliged to provide information about its main consumer properties on their website, by phone or in other information materials (catalogs, brochures, photographs, etc.). In addition, the buyer must know the form and methods of filing claims, the procedure and terms for returning the product. You can read more about the nuances of online trading in of this publication.

    It happens that the delivered item does not look the same in reality as in the catalog on the store’s website or on the product card of the marketplace, or does not fit in color, appearance or size. This may apply to both shoes and clothes, as well as household goods. In this case, the consumer has the right to return a product of proper quality within seven days of receipt. It is important that the item retains its presentation and consumer properties. In this case, the seller may retain the costs of return shipping. And if the buyer receives a defective product, the seller is obliged to bear the costs of its transportation. Experts spoke about other details of the purchase return procedure in in this material.

    You can buy not only things online, but also over-the-counter medicines and dietary supplements (DS). However, buying these products requires a particularly careful approach to avoid possible risks. Thus, it is important to remember that the sale of drugs via the Internet is carried out by pharmacies that have had a license for at least one year and have the appropriate permission from the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare. Individual entrepreneurs do not have the right to sell drugs online.

    When receiving medications, it is worth examining the packaging, checking its integrity and the presence of markings. And in order to safely purchase dietary supplements online, you need to make sure that the product has a state registration certificate. You can check this on the Rospotrebnadzor website in the section “Register of State Registration Certificates”. What else is important to pay attention to when buying medicines and dietary supplements online is explained in this expert article, and also in thematic video.

    How to protect your rights when shopping online

    You can encounter fraud and dishonesty of sellers in online trading on resources for posting ads. Experts advise using a simple algorithm of actions to protect yourself and your funds when ordering goods through marketplaces. For example, you should not communicate with the seller outside the trading platform via instant messengers, and you must pay for goods or services only through the payment services offered by the selected Internet platform. To protect the consumer from financial losses, funds are blocked until the purchase is received. The trading platform sends them to the seller only when the customer receives the order.

    If after paying for the goods there are controversial situations with the seller, which he refuses to resolve by oral appeal, the consumer has the right to make a written claim. The procedure in such a case is described in the article “Pre-trial procedure for resolving disputes on consumer rights protection issues”. You can file a claim using ready templateon the portal.

    Consumer portal was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government and the Moscow Office of Rospotrebnadzor. The resource contains more than 230 materials: articles, instructions, memos, webinars, and expert interviews. In addition to practical recommendations from experts, the publications contain the names of relevant regulations that can be relied on when communicating with legal entities or individual entrepreneurs to protect consumer rights.

    You can also get advice on consumer rights protection issues by calling the 24-hour hotline of the Rospotrebnadzor Administration for the city of Moscow: 7 495 539-36-96.

    The creation and support of information security tools, as well as counteracting cyber fraud, are in line with the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State”.

    Recently, Russian woman Shahnaz Gubaidullina became an Internet star. The girl recently graduated from the bachelor’s degree program at Huzhou University, which is located in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, after which she went on a tourist trip to Shaoxing. There, an unexpected situation occurred – an elderly woman fell into the water and began to drown. Without thinking, Shahnaz jumped into the water and began to pull out the drowning woman, calming her in Chinese: “Grandma, relax, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Thanks to the joint efforts of the girl and the people on the shore, the elderly woman was saved.

    Shahnaz’s selfless act was captured on local CCTV cameras and the video went viral online, gaining many likes. The girl’s mother immediately sent her a message: “You saved a man’s life, I’m proud of you!” When Shahnaz went to buy some fruit, the shopkeeper recognized her and refused to take money, thus wanting to thank the girl for her good deed. In response to the public praise, Shahnaz said: “I am very pleased, but I didn’t really do anything special.”

    Shahnaz came to China in 2016 and after living here for many years, she has developed a deep love for Chinese culture. She is the only foreigner in the university’s lion dance troupe.

    Shahnaz does not want to leave Huzhou despite having already graduated from university. “I like it here very much, I want to continue studying and even stay here to live,” she admitted.

    Source: European Parliament

    Article 24 of Directive 2010/75/EU[1] regulates public participation and access to information in permit granting and review procedures, and provides that the competent authority must i) consult the public concerned in cases where a new or updated permit is being granted; and ii) make available to the public several types of information, such as the content and copy of the decision; the reasons on which it was based; and the results of the consultations held and how these were taken into consideration.

    This obligation may apply to some of the documents mentioned by the Honourable Members. However, the directive requires that such information is made available to the public, including via the Internet, ‘[w]hen a decision on granting or the reconsideration or updating of a permit has been taken’.

    To the Commission’s knowledge, the process for the renewal of the permit of the Acciaierie d’Italia (former ILVA) steel plant in Taranto is ongoing and no decision has been taken yet.

    In accordance with Article 3 of Directive 2003/4/EC[2], Member States may be required to make available upon request other environmental information that does not fall within the above-mentioned obligation. Based on the information provided, the Commission cannot establish that this obligation has been breached in the case at hand.

    The Commission notes that several issues of non-conformity of the Italian legislation with Directive 2010/75/EU and of its bad application have been raised in the additional letter of formal notice sent to Italy on 7 May 2025[3] in the context of the ongoing infringement procedure INFR(2013)2177.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Former Bullard High School Teacher Charged with Federal Child Exploitation Offenses

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    FRESNO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment today against Ray Anthony Waller, 37, of Fresno, charging him with sexual exploitation of a child, receipt of child sexual abuse images, and sending obscene material to a minor, Acting U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith announced.

    According to court documents, between mid-November 2024 and mid-February 2025, Waller communicated with a minor by sending text, voice, and iMessages designed to have the minor create and transmit to Waller images of the victim engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Waller sent obscene images of himself to the victim and convinced the victim to reciprocate with images of the victim engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Waller is currently detained pending trial. A detention hearing to determine his federal custody status has been scheduled for June 30, 2025. Waller has also been charged in Fresno County Superior Court with crimes relating to this conduct.

    This case is the product of an investigation by the Central California Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, specifically the Fresno Police Department, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney David L. Gappa is prosecuting the case.

    If convicted of the sexual exploitation of a minor offense, Waller faces a prison term of between 15 and 30 years and a fine up to $250,000. If convicted for receipt of child sexual abuse images, he faces a prison term of between 5 and 20 years and fine up to $250,000. If convicted for transmitting obscene material to a minor, he faces a prison term of up to 10 years and a fine up to $250,000. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

    This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

  • MIL-OSI USA: IAM Journal Feature: Flying High

    Source: US GOIAM Union

    This article was featured in the Summer 2025 IAM Journal and was written by IAM Communications Representative John Lett.

    For decades, the IAM Air Transport Territory has been the backbone of the IAM. It weathered the airline bankruptcies of the 2000s resulting from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. IAM Air Transport fought for its members and preserved contracts, pensions and a quality way of life for thousands of working-class families across the United States.

    But about a decade ago, labor in general was stagnant, with mini­ mal growth and an uncertain future.

    “There was a time when people thought unions would go extinct, but J think we are changing that,” said Richie Johnsen, who has ser­ ved as IAM Air Transport Terri­ tory General Vice President for the past three years.

    IAM Air Transport Territory and District leadership gather at a conference in March. From left: 1AM Air Transport Territory Airline Coordinator Tom Regan, District
    141 President and Directing General Chair Mike Klemm, Air Transport Territory General Vice President Richie Johnsen, Air Transport Territory Chief of Staff Edison Fraser, District
    142 President and Directing General Chair John Coveny Jr., and Air Transport Territory Coordinator James Carlson.

    Under Johnsen’s leadership, IAM Air Trans­ port has experienced a resurgence. The territory has become the largest airline labor conglomerate in the AFL-CIO, representing more than 65,000 active members and 40,000 retirees at airlines across the country, including Puerto Rico and Guam. The territory, which represents mechanics, customer service agents, ramp workers and more, is divided into two large groups-District 141 with 42,000 members, from United, American, Spirit and other carriers and District 142, with 25,000 members, who pri­marily work for Southwest, Alaska, Hawaiian and American.

    “My exposure to the union came as far back as I can remem­ber. My father was a Machinist member. He was a shop steward. His father was an officer with the Longshoremen,” said Johnsen, who joined the IAM in I988 as an airline mechanic with United Air­ lines in San Francisco. “When J talk to my father, and he sees how the union has evolved, I think he’s fired up by seeing how we continue to grow.”

    Johnsen credits his territory’s ascension with an influx of new leadership from top to bottom, nego­tiating industry leading contracts, a fresh approach to labor activism, and a renewed hunger for organizing workers.

    “It’s very personal to me. What they’ve done is incredible. It has set the standard for what I believe union representation should look like,” said Johnsen. “In recent years, their wages have increased almost $8 an hour. For someone that was making $32 an hour, they’re making $40 now. Those are massive increases that we haven’t seen in decades.”

    Assisting General Vice Pre­sident Johnsen is Air Transport Chief of Staff Edison Fraser, a member since 2002, who originally hired on at Southwest Airli­nes in Baltimore. Fraser says he’s excited about the direction of the territory.

    “As a leader in the Air Transport Territory I am extremely proud of the work that Districts 141 and 142 have done,” said Fraser. ‘The leaders of those districts have embraced the growth of the districts and put the members first. With our help, from Headquarters, we’ve been able to support them 100%.”

    Qantas Airways aircraft maintenance engineers organized by the 1AM in 2024.

    Recent union victories include organizing wins at Qantas Airlines, PSA Airlines, multiple Swissport locations, Atlantic Aviation and Unifi Aviation, wins that have uplifted the lives of hundreds of workers. A large-scale victory of note took place in 2020 when the IAM negotiated a new contract for I0,000 union members at American Airlines, including Kenny Geis, a member and grievance committee chair at Local 1903M at Charlotte International Airport in North Carolina. Geis, who helped negotiate the contract, has been in the airline industry for 40 years, raised a family with three kids and says !AM Air Transport is enhancing lives across the country.

    “It was an industry-leading contract in pay, but more importantly in benefits. By far, the IAM gave us the best contract for work rules and scope of lan­ guage. Just recently, the company did a percentage rate increase to bring us back to the top of the industry as far as pay, and we keep all of our bene­ fits. That was huge,” said Geis, who works at American as a line aircraft inspector, testing for cra­ cks and corrosion in planes. “Not only are we the highest paid in the industry, we have the best benefits. That helps me and my family on a daily basis. As far as our medical, dental and eye coverage, I believe it’s the best in the industry and it’s all because of the IAM and the negotiating it did.”

    DISTRICT 141: A POWERHOUSE FOR AIRLINE WORKERS

    A decade ago, IAM District 141 had 23,000 members. Now, under the guidance of President and Directing Chairman Mike Klemm, it has increased in size to 41,000 members, 14 con­ tracts, and a budget that has tripled over IO years. Klemm, who became an IAM member in 1992, while working on the ramp for United Airlines at JFK Airport in New York, credits the district’s success to organizing, building relationships with members, rolling out an award-winning website, increasing safety standards on the shop floor, and updated training for members and shop stewards.

    “I feel very lucky. I couldn’t have done it without the support of the incredible members, especially at JFK Airport where 1 got my start, and the Executive Board,” said Klemm, who says his IAM membership has helped him provide a good life for his wife and two daughters. “If I didn’t have a strong team, I wouldn’t be able to be here. I never forget that, and I always make sure I keep in touch with my membership. I always work on improving their lives through the collective bar­ gaining agreements that I negotiate.”

    Growth at District 141 is also contributing to the communities it serves by supporting non-profit organizations at the local and national level.

    “We raised and donated at least $250,000 to the IAM Disaster Relief Fund. We felt like we were in a good monetary situation where we could contribute to the IAM and its members in need. We are certainly proud of that,” said Klemm. “We also give to Guide Dogs of America I Tender Loving Canines and even schools with kids that are less fortunate who have trouble finding school supplies. We also do Santa Clause gift runs during Christmas.”

    Members on a local level have high praises for the leadership and direction within IAM District 141. Marcello Serrao, IAM Local 1322 Commit­ tee Chair, who’s worked as a ramp serviceman at busy New York area airports for decades, says it’s refreshing to see top district representatives rou­tinely communicate with members and listen to their concerns.

    “It ‘s a great experience. It ‘s so necessary to have that relationship with the members,” said Serrao, a resident of Long Island. “There’s been such a change, more transparency, and what an improvement. It’s really good to see. In the past, you felt like you didn’t get a lot of information. It was very stagnant. But now there ‘s more updates on the website, more emails and people can keep track of what’s going on.”

    DISTRICT 142: RISING RAPIDLY TO SERVE IAM MEMBERS

    IAM District 142 has also experienced a rapid rise, increasing its membership in recent years from 16,000 to 20,000, with 36 contracts at 20 companies. District President and Directing Chairman John Coveny took over in 2022, after rising through the union ranks for years, with stops in Upstate New York, Pittsburgh and now Arizona.

    “The union is where I truly belong. Once I got involved with the union, that became my passion, and my desire,” said Coveny. “It’s a 24/7, 365 job. I love what I do. I live, eat and sleep this union because I believe in it that much.”

    After his installation, Coveny immediately moved district headquarters from Kansas City to Phoenix, where more IAM members resided. He and his staff also utilized social media with Facebook, X (For­mally known as Twitter), lnstagram and TikTok. Coveny and his staff reenergized organizing cam­paigns, streamlined technology and promoted diver­sity within the ranks.

    “We’ve established an organizing committee, a women’s committee, a young workers committee,” said Coveny. “We also put in place new dues processing software.”

    Coveny, who joined the union in 1988 as a mechanic at US Airways in Buffalo, N.Y., is passio­nate about the TAM because it has given him and his family a better quality of life. Strong union contracts and salaries over the years gave Coveny the ability to pay college tuition for his three children, and also hike, bike and enjoy time off with his wife of 37 years.

    “The purpose of the union is to provide a reaso­nable living for the members. I truly stand by every contract that we’ve negotiated,” said Coveny. “We lead the industry in almost every contract we’ve negotiated.”

    Coveny is also committed to mentoring a new generation of IAM leaders at the district. Nearing retirement, Coveny says he’s excited about a new generation of District 142 representatives who can build on the foundation, he and his staff, have laid.

    “It’s very important to me, that people who are younger and help push them forward, so when folks who are in office today leave, somebody is ready to fill that role,” said Coveny.

    Steve Oheme is a member of IAM Local 1976 in Pittsburgh who joined the union in 1986 as a mechanic at United Airlines. He says new district leadership has boosted communication with mem­bership, fought for lucrative collective bargaining agreements and pressured airlines to protect IAM mechanics by maintaining stricter safety standards in aircraft hangers.

    ‘They’re doing a fantastic job. They keep us up to date. We are better than we were. It’s amazing. And it’s a great deal,” said Oheme, who works as a crew chief and supervisor of 16 mechanics. ‘There is a big push for safety that wasn’t there before. They make sure we get all the tools, supplies and anything we need, like eyewear and hearing protection. The district pushes the company to supply that stuff. It’s good knowing that they fought for us. I feel secure. It’s awesome.”

    Industry-leading IAM contracts, negotiated by District 142, have helped members like Oheme to thrive. As his four-decade career winds down, he’s proud of raising two children with his wife of 40 years, and enjoys hobbies like pickleball, skiing, mountain biking and golfing, a way of life that embo­dies the success and mission of the district, and the IAM Air Transport Territory as a whole.

    “I want us to continue to grow and I want these Districts to be larger and stronger,” said IAM Air Transport Territory Chief of Staff Edison Fraser.

    IAM Air Transport has set ambitious goals for 2025 and beyond. The union is gaining ground in two large organizing campaigns, 20,000 ramp and cargo workers at Delta Air Lines, and 3,000 ramp workers at JetBlue Airways, and is aggressively organizing the ground handling sector across the United Sta­tes. Leadership believes it will win those campaigns, grow the territory and continue to boost the quality of life for aviation workers, and their families, across the country.

    “I feel like we set the standard. No one does what we do. I feel like we lead the way and it’s our job to lead the way. Were big, we’re progressive and we’re diverse,” said General Vice President Johnsen. “We move people and cargo. Without air transportation, the economy stops. It shuts down. There is no eco­nomy without us taking care of the passengers and the cargo This 1s an exciting time “

    Source: US State of Idaho

    Home Newsroom AG Labrador and Acting U.S. Attorney Whatcott Announces 30-Year Sentence for Burley Man Who Produced Child Sexual Abuse Material

    POCATELLO – Michael Allen Montoya, 40, of Burley, was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a child, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador and Acting U.S. Attorney Justin Whatcott announced today.
    According to court records, the investigation began when the FBI became aware that a person, later identified as Montoya, was distributing child sexual abuse material through an online social media platform. The FBI also learned that during online chat conversations, Montoya had discussed his sexual interest in children and had exchanged child sexual abuse material with other offenders. The FBI referred the investigation to the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC). ICAC obtained a federal search warrant for Montoya’s Burley residence. During a forensic examination of Montoya’s electronic devices, ICAC located numerous files of child sexual abuse material. ICAC also discovered that Montoya had produced explicit images and videos of himself sexually abusing an infant and an 8-year-old child in his care.
    “Our commitment to protecting children from abuse is unwavering,” said Idaho Attorney General Labrador. “I am grateful for our ICAC Task Force and the partnership we have with Acting U.S. Attorney Whatcott’s office. By working together, we can continue making Idaho safer by investigating, arresting, and prosecuting one bad guy at a time.”
    “Law enforcement in Idaho has zero tolerance for those that target children for abuse and exploitation,” Acting U.S. Attorney Whatcott said. “As this case illustrates, images of child sexual abuse material are not just images – they are evidence of sexual abuse committed by predators like this defendant. I am thankful that we have outstanding professionals in the ICAC, the FBI, and our office that are dedicated to protecting Idaho’s children and ensuring this type of abhorrent conduct results in significant prison sentences.”
    Senior U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also sentenced Montoya to lifetime supervised release and ordered him to pay restitution to his victims. Montoya will be required to register as a sex offender as a result of the conviction.
    Acting U.S. Attorney Whatcott commended the cooperative efforts of the Idaho ICAC Task Force, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Rupert Police Department, the Idaho State Police, the Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office, and the Cassia County Sheriff’s Office, which led to the charge. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Kassandra McGrady and Erin Blackadar.This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. As part of Project Safe Childhood, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho and the Idaho Attorney General’s Office partner to marshal federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Remote Patient Monitoring Company Settles False Claims Act Lawsuit for $1.29 Million

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    ATLANTA – Health Wealth Safe, Inc. and Dr. Subodh Agrawal have paid $1.29 million to settle allegations that they knowingly caused false claims to be presented to Medicare.

    “Knowingly billing Medicare for services that do not meet Medicare’s requirements is a fraud against taxpayers,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Our office will continue to enforce the False Claims Act to recover government payments that result from such misconduct.”

    “Healthcare professionals have a sworn duty to prioritize patient health and to ensure all services billed to the federal government are fully compliant with program requirements,” said Kelly Blackmon, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “HHS-OIG will continue to collaborate with our law enforcement partners to safeguard the integrity of the Medicare program.”

    The investigation began when former employees of Health Wealth Safe, Inc. (“Health Wealth”) filed a whistleblower lawsuit under the False Claims Act referred to as a qui tam suit. The False Claims Act is a federal law that imposes civil liability on any person who submits false claims to the federal government or its contractors. The law imposes treble damages and civil penalties on those who submit false claims. Under the law, whistleblowers (also called “relators”) who bring fraud to the government’s attention share in any recovery obtained by the government.

    The United States alleged that, at the direction of owner Dr. Subodh Agrawal, Health Wealth caused claims to be presented to Medicare for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) services that were not reimbursable. RPM involves the use of non-face-to-face technology to monitor and analyze a patient’s physiological metrics, such as oxygen saturation, blood pressure, weight, and blood-sugar or blood-oxygen levels. For monitoring services to be covered by Medicare, the monitoring devices must automatically report readings to the monitoring company without further human intervention. The United States alleged that Health Wealth knowingly billed for RPM services even though it failed to provide patients with devices that met these requirements between September 2019 and January 2021.

    The settlement resolved the underlying lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, United States ex rel. Chavous v. Health Wealth Safe, Inc., No. 1:22-cv-02553. The relator will receive $238,650 from the settlement in this matter, plus attorney’s fees.

    This case was investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General.

    The civil settlement was reached by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony DeCinque.

    The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

    How Does FortuixAgent Work?

    At the core of FortuixAgent is a dynamic AI engine trained to detect and act on profitable trading signals across crypto and forex markets. The system aggregates real-time data from financial news, technical charts, and historical market patterns to create predictive models that guide its automated trading logic.

    Once connected to a user’s broker account, the app continuously scans the markets for trading opportunities based on predefined parameters—like stop-loss, take-profit, and risk tolerance. It executes buy/sell orders automatically and adjusts its behavior as market conditions evolve. Unlike passive bots, FortuixAgent uses adaptive learning algorithms to fine-tune its strategies over time, improving precision as it processes more data.

    Users maintain full control over their account settings. They can choose between full automation or hybrid control, where trades are suggested but not executed without approval. With built-in performance analytics, every trade is traceable, transparent, and backed by logic.

    The result? A trading experience that blends the speed of machines with the strategy of human oversight.

    What Makes FortuixAgent Different in 2025? A Comparative Look at the Market

    In a crowded field of trading bots and automation tools, FortuixAgent sets itself apart with its strategic focus on performance transparency, user control, and AI-driven adaptability. Unlike platforms that require high upfront deposits or lock users into rigid algorithms, FortuixAgent offers flexible customization, hands-off automation, and real-time trade visibility—all without hidden fees.

    While many legacy bots focus solely on crypto or forex, FortuixAgent supports multi-asset trading across both markets. This dual capability allows users to diversify strategies while staying within one secure interface. The platform’s emphasis on user education—via demo mode, in-app guidance, and open access to performance metrics—adds another layer of credibility that many alternatives simply lack.

    Perhaps most critically, FortuixAgent maintains broker independence. Users retain full control over funds, executing trades through licensed brokers of their choice.

    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES TRADING
    Futures transactions involve high risk. The amount of the initial margin is low compared to the value of the futures contract, so that transactions are “leveraged” or “geared”. A relatively small market movement has a proportionately larger impact on the funds that you have deposited or have to pay: this can work both for you and against you. You may experience the total loss of the initial margin funds as well as any additional funds deposited in the system. If the market develops in a way that is contrary to your position or if margins are increased, you may be asked to pay significant additional funds at short notice to maintain your position. In this case it may also happen that your broker account is in the red and you thus have to make payments beyond the initial investment.
    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRONIC TRADING
    Before you begin carrying out transactions with an electronic system, you should carefully review the rules and provisions of the stock exchange offering the system, or of the financial instruments listed that you intend to trade, as well as your broker’s conditions. Online trading has inherent risks due to system responses/reaction times and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance and other factors, and on which you have no influence. You should be aware of these additional risks in electronic trading before you carry out investment transactions.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Jefferson County Woman Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Child Exploitation Violations

    Source: US FBI

    BEAUMONT, Texas – A Port Arthur woman has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for child exploitation violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.

    Sasha Sheree Abshire, 36, pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Michael Truncale on June 24, 2025.

    According to information presented in court, in July 2024, law enforcement authorities received information that sexually explicit photos of a pre-school age child were being offered for distribution online by an individual with a screen name associated with Abshire. Abshire subsequently sent images of child pornography to another person from a cell phone that was later determined to belong to Abshire who was living at an address in Port Arthur.   Some of the sexually explicit images contained an adult woman’s face.  Social media accounts belonging to Abshire confirmed the woman in some of the photos was in fact Abshire.  Federal agents arrested Abshire at her Port Arthur home and confirmed that she was the woman who produced the child pornography.     

    This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
               

    This case was investigated by the FBI and Port Arthur Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rachel Grove.

  • MIL-OSI: SOLUM – Announcing Aggressive Market Expansion in North America

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SEOUL, South Korea, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Emerging Market Leader in U.S. Smart Retail and Key Verticals

    SOLUM is rapidly solidifying its position as a dominant player in the U.S. Smart Retail sector, powered by its integrated suite of cutting-edge AI-enabled Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In addition to retail, SOLUM is also expanding into other key verticals such as healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, and transportation, underscoring the broadening relevance and adoption of its technology solutions across different enterprises.

    Strategic Differentiation and Geopolitical Alignment

    SOLUM stands out among its competitors as the only major ESL manufacturer without ties to Chinese entities, positioning itself as a trusted partner for businesses navigating a dynamic geopolitical environment. SOLUM’s IoT infrastructure is both safe and secure, insulating it as global concerns over IoT vulnerabilities grow.

    The global tech landscape has increasingly become a battleground for playing out geopolitical tensions. The United States in particular has taken steps to mitigate risks associated with Chinese-made technologies, including imposing sanctions and export restrictions on Chinese tech giants like Huawei. SOLUM has pivoted a portion of its manufacturing operations to Mexico to proactively position itself for long-term stability. SOLUM’s emphasis on transparency, data integrity, and forward-thinking approach to global trade, aligns with both U.S. priorities and supports companies as they future-proof their end-to-end operations.

    Expansion

    SOLUM is a critical supplier of ESL technology to some of the largest retailers in the United States and globally, providing a mature and innovative capability which streamlines operations, promotes efficiencies, and can lead to lower costs. Loblaws, Canada’s largest grocery store chain, is one of SOLUM’s newest partners, and a prime example of the scale and momentum around its expanding North American presence. In fact, SOLUM recently secured a project with one of the largest retailers in the United States and is anticipating significant revenue growth over the next year.

    Amid rising concerns over inflation and high grocery prices, solutions like SOLUM’s can reduce operational costs for businesses and drive down prices for consumers. ESL technologies also modernize the shopping experience, allowing retailers to better monitor their store operations, stocks, and customer demand while streamlining the experience for customers.

    SOLUM is also committed to organic growth, and has expanded its footprint into the healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, and logistics sectors. This strategic diversification speaks to the growing demand for ESL technology and advanced IoT underpinned by AI, and Solum’s best in class offerings.

    About SOLUM

    SOLUM is a leading provider of electronic shelf label solutions, offering cutting-edge technology to revolutionize retail operations. Their innovative products and solutions are designed to enhance store management, customer engagement, and overall productivity.
