  • MIL-OSI Europe: Study – Artificial Intelligence and Civil Liability – 24-07-2025

    Source: European Parliament

    This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Justice, Civil Liberties and Institutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Legal Affairs, critically analyses the EU’s evolving approach to regulating civil liability for artificial intelligence systems. In order to avoid regulatory fragmentation between Member States, the study advocates for a strict liability regime targeting high-risk systems, structured around a single responsible operator and grounded in legal certainty, efficiency and harmonisation.

  • Israel studies Hamas reply to Gaza ceasefire plan as fighting continues

    Israel is reviewing a revised response from Hamas to a proposed ceasefire and hostage release deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Thursday, as Israeli air and ground strikes continued to pound the Gaza Strip.

    Hamas confirmed it had handed over a new proposal, but did not disclose its contents. A previous version, submitted late on Tuesday, was rejected by mediators as insufficient and was not even passed to Israel, sources familiar with the situation said.

    Both sides are facing huge pressure at home and abroad to reach a deal, with the humanitarian conditions inside Gaza deteriorating sharply amidst widespread, acute hunger in the Palestinian enclave that has shocked the world.

    A senior Israeli official was quoted by local media as saying the new text was something Israel could work with. However, Israel’s Channel 12 said a rapid deal was not within reach, with gaps remaining between the two sides, including over where the Israeli military should withdraw to during any truce.

    A Palestinian official close to the talks told Reuters the latest Hamas position was “flexible, positive and took into consideration the growing suffering in Gaza and the need to stop the starvation”.

    Dozens of people have starved to death in Gaza the last few weeks as a wave of hunger crashes on the Palestinian enclave, according to local health authorities. The World Health Organization said on Wednesday 21 children under the age of five were among those who died of malnutrition so far this year.

    Israel, which cut off all supplies to Gaza from the start of March and reopened it with new restrictions in May, says it is committed to allowing in aid but must control it to prevent it from being diverted by militants.

    It says it has let in enough food for Gaza’s 2.2 million people over the course of the war, and blames the United Nations for being slow to deliver it; the U.N. says it is operating as effectively as possible under conditions imposed by Israel.

    AIRSTRIKES

    The war between Israel and Hamas has been raging for nearly two years since Hamas killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages from southern Israel in the deadliest single attack in Israel’s history.

    Israel has since killed nearly 60,000 Palestinians in Gaza, decimated Hamas as a military force, reduced most of the territory to ruins and forced nearly the entire population to flee their homes multiple times.

    Israeli forces on Thursday hit the central Gaza towns of Nuseirat, Deir Al-Balah and Bureij.

    Health officials at Al-Awda Hospital said three people were killed in an airstrike on a house in Nuseirat, three more died from tank shelling in Deir Al-Balah, and separate airstrikes in Bureij killed a man and a woman and wounded several others.

    Nasser hospital said three people were killed by Israeli gunfire while seeking aid in southern Gaza near the so-called Morag axis between Khan Younis and Rafah. The Israeli military said Palestinian militants had fired a projectile overnight from Khan Younis toward an aid distribution site near Morag. It was not immediately clear whether the incidents were linked.

    Washington has been pushing the warring sides towards a deal for a 60-day ceasefire that would free some of the remaining 50 hostages held in Gaza in return for prisoners jailed in Israel, and allow in aid.

    U.S. Middle East peace envoy Steve Witkoff travelled to Europe this week for meetings on the Gaza war and a range of other issues.

    An Israeli official said Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer would meet Witkoff on Friday if the gaps between Israel and Hamas over the terms of a ceasefire had narrowed sufficiently.

    Hamas is facing growing domestic pressure amid deepening humanitarian hardship in Gaza and continued Israeli advances.

    Mediators say the group is seeking a withdrawal of Israeli troops to positions held before March 2, when Israel ended a previous ceasefire, and the delivery of aid under U.N. supervision.

    That would exclude a newly formed U.S.-based group, the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, which began handing out food in May at sites located near Israeli troops who have shot dead hundreds of Palestinians trying to get aid.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: expert reaction to Listeriosis-caused death in Ireland

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

    July 24, 2025

    Scientists comment on a death caused by Listeriosis in Ireland. 

    Prof Brendan Wren, Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said:

    What is listeriosis, how common is it, how does it occur, how is it treated?

    “Listeriosis invariably is caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and is a rare infection that can cause meningitis and other complications. It is usually transmitted through the contamination of food products and is unusual in that it can survive at low temperatures including in refrigeration. Pregnant women and over 65s are particularly susceptible to infection.

     What do we know so far about the situation so far and what is yet to be learned?

    “The current situation appears to be an outbreak in the island of Ireland linked to potential contamination of a food source.”

    What might have caused this particular outbreak and how will it be controlled?

    “Most outbreaks of Listeriosis are often linked to persistent strains at food manufacturing sites. The strains are often difficult to detect and can withstand refrigeration and persist in factory sites for several months. Full inspection of the food processing chain and culturing of the bacterium will be required to identify the contaminating source.

    How deadly is listeria and should we expect to see more deaths due to listeriosis?

    “Rarely causes death, mainly in the immunocompromised. Most individuals will have mild flu-like symptoms, nausea and diarrhoea.

    How worried should we be about this and future outbreaks?

    “Outbreaks of Listeriosis are rare in Europe. The pathogen is very rarely transmitted between humans (except mothers to foetuses). So there should not be real alarm.

    What can we do to prevent infection/future outbreaks?

    “Close monitoring and testing at all points of the food supply chain”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Public consultation on Green Innovation Corridor first phase now open

    Source: City of Wolverhampton

    The GIC will connect key assets at the University of Wolverhampton’s Springfield Campus, Science Park, and the i54 advanced manufacturing business park – the country’s most successful Enterprise Zone.

    It will introduce new commercial and business opportunities for development, incubation space, grow on space for SMEs and space for larger use.

    The scheme has already secured £27million funding from UK Government and has attained West Midlands Investment Zone status, helping unlock transformational capital funding, business support and skills programmes.

    People can now have their say on designs for the first phase – the planned redevelopment of 4 brownfield sites, collectively known as Six Mile Green, located close to University of Wolverhampton Science Park.

    An online survey is available at Consultation | Six Mile Green – Redevelopment of brownfield land at the University of Wolverhampton Science Park until 1 August, 2025.

    An exhibition at University of Wolverhampton Science Park will also be running from Monday 28 July to Friday 1 August and a public drop-in event at the Science Park is being hosted by the project team on Wednesday 30 July between 4pm and 8pm.

    Once feedback from the consultation has been taken into consideration, a hybrid planning application will be submitted, comprising detailed plans for ground remediation, site clearance, service infrastructure and enabling works and outline plans for new buildings providing around 20,000sqm of mixed use commercial floorspace.

    If the plans are approved, then WM Investment Zone funding will be used to carry out preconstruction works by March 2027, which will support prospective developers by providing development ready sites for design and build construction.

    Councillor Chris Burden, City of Wolverhampton Council Cabinet Member for City Development, Jobs and Skills, said: “The Green Innovation Corridor will drive the Green Industrial Revolution, building upon Wolverhampton’s sustainable construction, green credentials and circular economy for transformation that will create quality jobs for local people.

    “Bringing forward these designs for consultation is the next step towards our goal of securing the planning permission for Six Mile Green that will facilitate enabling works and ultimately attract developer interest.”

    Pete Cross, Chief Operating Officer, University of Wolverhampton said, “The University of Wolverhampton is proud to be a key partner in the Green Innovation Corridor, which will act as a catalyst for innovation, skills development, and economic prosperity.

    “We are working closely with our colleagues at the City of Wolverhampton Council to develop an exciting and ambitious business community that will drive growth in green technologies and advanced manufacturing, directly contributing to the net zero agenda and creating high value jobs for our communities.

    “The proposals outline the development of our existing sites across the Science Park, Springfield Campus and Six-Mile Green and we look forward to working with external investors and developers to put these plans into motion.”

    I am very glad to meet you again here in the Altai Republic at the International Environmental Conference, which is dedicated to the most pressing issues of environmental protection in the entire Eurasian region. Let’s talk about natural phenomena, about ecology – there are many questions.

    And of course, first of all, I would like to ask you to convey the kindest words of greetings to the President of Belarus, the respected Alexander Grigorievich Lukashenko, from the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and from me personally.

    Dear Alexander Genrikhovich, we are in constant contact by phone. We have spoken several times in the last couple of weeks alone.

    At the government level, in my opinion, systematic work has been established to implement the decisions made by our leaders, which are primarily based on the main areas of implementation of the Treaty on the Union State for 2024–2026.

    Despite the unprecedented sanctions pressure from the collective West, our economic cooperation continues to strengthen. The share of machinery, equipment and high-tech products in our joint trade turnover is growing.

    We already conduct over 90% of settlements in national currencies. All this helps protect our mutual trade and investments from negative external conditions.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 24 July 2025 News release Timor-Leste certified malaria-free by WHO

    Source: World Health Organisation

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Timor-Leste as malaria-free, a remarkable achievement for a country that prioritized the disease and embarked on a concerted, nation-wide response shortly after gaining independence in 2002.

    “WHO congratulates the people and government of Timor-Leste on this significant milestone,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Timor-Leste’s success proves that malaria can be stopped in its tracks when strong political will, smart interventions, sustained domestic and external investment and dedicated health workers unite.”

    With today’s announcement, a total of 47 countries and 1 territory have been certified as malaria-free by WHO. Timor-Leste is the third country to be certified in the WHO South-East Asia region, joining Maldives and Sri Lanka which were certified in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

    Certification of malaria elimination is granted by WHO when a country has proven, beyond reasonable doubt, that the chain of indigenous transmission has been interrupted nationwide for at least the previous three consecutive years.

    “We did it. Malaria has been one of our most relentless enemies – silent, persistent, and deadly. We lost too many lives to a disease that should be preventable. But our health workers never gave up, our communities held strong, and our partners, like WHO, walked beside us. From 223 000 cases to zero – this elimination honours every life lost and every life now saved. We must safeguard this victory with continued vigilance and community action to prevent malaria’s re-entry,” said Dr Élia António de Araújo dos Reis Amaral, SH, Minister of Health, Government of Timor-Leste.

    A rapid shift from high burden country to malaria-free

    Since gaining independence in 2002, Timor-Leste has made remarkable strides in the fight against malaria – reducing cases from a peak of more than 223 000 clinically diagnosed cases in 2006 to zero indigenous cases from 2021 onwards.

    Timor-Leste’s success in eliminating malaria was driven by the Ministry of Health’s swift action in 2003 to establish the National Malaria Programme, a dedicated programme for planning, implementing, and monitoring malaria control efforts nationwide. With only two full-time officers initially, the programme was able to lay the foundation for progress early on through strong technical leadership, managerial capacity and attention to detail.

    Within a few years, the country introduced rapid diagnostic tests and artemisinin-based combination therapy as part of the National Malaria Treatment Guidelines and began distributing free long-lasting insecticide treated nets to communities most at risk.

    In 2009, with support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Timor-Leste scaled up nationwide vector control efforts through the distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. Malaria diagnosis was also expanded using microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests at the point of care across all local health posts.

    Facing the challenges of severe shortages of health workers and doctors, Timor-Leste made investments and developed its three-tier health system – comprising national hospitals, reference hospitals, community health centers (CHCs), and health posts – to ensure most residents can access care within an hour’s walk. Additionally, citizens are provided with free health services at the point of care, as part of the government’s policy on free universal health care. Monthly mobile clinics and community outreach programmes further enhance health services in rural areas.

    Timor-Leste’s success in combating malaria highlights the importance of country leadership and strong collaboration between the Ministry of Health, WHO, local communities, non-governmental organizations, donors, and multiple government sectors. A real-time integrated case-based surveillance system ensures rapid data collection and response, while trained health workers ensure timely detection and screening of malaria cases, including at borders. These integrated efforts have paved the way for the country to be officially certified malaria-free.

    “Timor-Leste’s malaria-free certification is a defining national triumph – driven by bold leadership, tireless efforts of health workers, and the resolve of its people. As a young nation, Timor-Leste stayed focused – testing, treating, and investigating swiftly. Ending transmission and maintaining zero deaths takes more than science; it takes grit. This victory protects generations, present and future, and shows what a determined country can achieve,” said Dr Arvind Mathur, WHO Representative to Timor-Leste.
     

    Note to the editor

    WHO malaria-free certification
    The final decision on awarding a malaria-free certification is made by the WHO Director-General, based on a recommendation by the Technical Advisory Group on Malaria Elimination and Certification and validation from the Malaria Policy Advisory Group.

    Children get a close look at some of the bugs living in the wetlands at Oxford Island

    They may be small in stature, but the fascinating array of insects and bugs at Oxford Island proved to be hugely popular at the ‘Minibeast Morning’ held last week.

    Expertly guided by the Education Team from the Biodiversity Service at ABC Council, children aged between five and ten-years-old were taken on a wonderful adventure into the secret world of bugs which live in the woodlands and wetlands at Oxford Island.

    The event proved a major success, with the children getting a close-up look at the various species which are so crucial to the ecology of our environment.

    In the woodlands, they were able to uncover a range of bugs including the amazing ‘Devils Coach Horse’ beetle, as well as wood lice, spiders, slugs and some ladybirds.

    Over at the ponds surrounding the Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, the children used nets to take samples of the various little animals living there. They were able to find pond skaters, dragonfly nymphs, baby newts, pond snails, small fish and water lice, while several stunning damselflies flitted from reed to reed.

    The Minibeast Morning was part of the busy programme of summer events being held at Oxford Island which also includes bird watching and nature exploring.

    Educational events and activities for both children and adults are held at Oxford Island throughout the year, offering a unique window into the natural environment and wildlife along the shores of Lough Neagh.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Polytechnic University solemnly awarded the winners and prize-winners of the All-Russian student case championship “Risk Management: New Horizons for Solutions”. The organizers are the Higher School of Industrial Management of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade and the consulting company “Trust Technologies”.

    Joint-Stock Company “Trust Technologies” provides audit and consulting services to corporate clients in various sectors of the economy. According to the RAEX rating agency, in 2025 the company entered the top five largest Russian participants in the audit and consulting services market.

    The case championship was attended by 56 students from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Voronezh and Tambov. As part of 15 teams, the students solved cases dedicated to risk management issues related to an unstable external environment, technological risks, digitalization and sustainable development. The participants presented projects combining digital technologies, risk management methods and models, as well as forecasting tools in an uncertain environment.

    “The ability to manage risks in modern conditions is a critically important competency for any business. The level of the presented student projects, their depth of development and practical orientation are pleasing. Cooperation with the company “Trust Technologies”, a strong partner occupying a leading position in the audit and consulting services market, is very important for us. This creates a unique environment for cultivating young and in-demand specialists in the labor market, ready to get involved in solving real business problems of Russian companies,” said Olga Kalinina, Director of the Higher School of Industrial Management, at the opening of the final.

    The teams defended their solutions before an expert jury, which included representatives of the Trust Technologies company: Svetlana Kuzmenkova, Senior Manager of the Non-Financial Risk Group, Viktor Kosmachev, Senior Consultant of the Systemic Changes and Business Development Practice, Evgeniya Filyanina, Consultant of the Non-Financial Risk Group, as well as Associate Professors of the Higher School of Industrial Management of the IPMEiT Anna Timofeeva, Evgeny Makarenko and Elena Kiseleva.

    The best project solution was presented by the AllRisks team, which became the absolute winner of the championship. The team included Artem Rudenko (SPbGEU), Mikhail Borovkov (ITMO), Elizaveta Egorova and Polina Ivanova (SPbPU).

    The first place winner was the PonITech SPbPU team: Diana Yakimenko, Maria Belova, Maria Platonova and Vitaly Trofimov.

    The second place was taken by the Ratio team from the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba: Daria Dreval, Larisa Ordina, Elizaveta Kostyaeva and Veronika Vatrukhina.

    The third place went to the “Risk Hunters” – Valentina Fedorova, Anastasia Rusakova, Arina Katrina, Egor Bogdanov and Liana Pogosyan from SPbSUT.

    “We set a difficult task for the participants: to develop risk management solutions that not only take into account modern challenges, but also integrate digital tools for forecasting and management in conditions of uncertainty. As a result of the defenses, we saw non-standard approaches, a strong analytical background and a willingness to offer specific mechanisms that can be applied in practice. We are confident that for many students this championship will become a springboard to a successful career in business,” commented Evgeniya Filyanina, consultant of the non-financial risks group.

    YANGON, July 24 (Xinhua) — Three people are missing after a motorboat capsized on a river in Myanmar’s Yangon, a local rescue official said Thursday.

    “Three members of our rescue team went to the scene this morning and carried out the operation in coordination with other organizations,” Lin Latt, a spokesman for the rescue organization, told Xinhua on Thursday.

    The speedboat was travelling between Botahtaung Jetty in Botahtaung Township and Thamada Beach in Dala Township in Yangon Region when the incident occurred at around 7:00 a.m. Thursday local time, he said.

    Since it is the rainy season, strong winds and waves on the river caused the boat to capsize, the spokesman said, adding that the search for the missing people was being hampered by the difficult weather conditions.

    According to him, there were 11 people on board the boat at the time of the incident, and eight of them were rescued. –0–

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Milestone for city’s Dementia Hub

    Source: City of Coventry

    Coventry’s pioneering Dementia Hub celebrated its second anniversary this week.

    The occasion was marked by a small celebration event which was attended by residents and partners from across the city.  Attendees had the opportunity to hear from some of the people behind the Hub’s success and to reflect on its future.

    Since opening in July 2023, the Coventry Dementia Partnership Hub has become a pillar of adult social care services in the city. Every year, the hub and its staff help around 4,000 people access essential support and guidance.

    Beyond that support, the Coventry Dementia Partnership Hub also offers a safe, caring space for those living with Dementia where they can meet other people and take part in fun activities such as singing and dancing.

    The hub involves a number of partners working together, including Admiral Nurses, Age UK, the Alzheimer’s Society, Carers’ Trust, Lions Club of Coventry Godiva, the Council, the Coventry Police Partnership Team, Dementia Champions, and more.

    Speaking at the event Cllr Linda Bigham, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, reflected on the importance of the hub to the city.  

    She said: “Dementia is a lonely, isolating illness which impacts thousands of people across Coventry. That’s why we launched the hub, we wanted a place for people to come together, make friends and get the support they need.

    “It’s so heart-warming to visit the building and hear first-hand the impact it’s been having on residents and their carers.

    “None of this would be possible without our partners and staff. Without them this would just be a building but because of their commitment it’s a sanctuary for so many people.”

    Stuart Jennings, Honorary Vice President of the Alzheimer’s Society, also attended the event.

    He said:” This is a place where people find friendship, encouragement, advice and even manage to raise a smile.

    “The hub is an example, not only across Coventry but nationally. It’s a model that, in my role, I hold up as a shining example for other cities to follow.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Craig and Kelly have won a wedding!

    Source: City of Coventry

    Craig Critchley and Kelly Baylis are getting ready to walk down the aisle in style on Valentine’s Day, after being chosen as winners of the Win a Wedding competition run by the City Council and Go CV.

    There were dozens of entries, and judges had a tough time reading through all the incredible stories before finally selecting Craig and Kelly as winners.

    In fact – both of them had sent in applications in the hope of being selected for the great prize, which is worth over £5,000.

    It includes a marriage ceremony hosted in the Black Prince Room at Cheylesmore Manor House (Coventry Register Office), a wedding reception venue at Drapers’ Hall including buffet, dining set-up and service staff, plus overnight accommodation in a Junior Suite at the Telegraph Hotel with breakfast.

    In submitting her entry, Kelly told how the couple had first met as 13-year-olds 37 years ago. 

    She said: “We’re both 50 this year and never got the chance to get married. Craig actually proposed to me on February 14th many years ago, but then life got turned upside down.

    “We started saving for our wedding and we were trying to start a family, but things didn’t quite go as we planned.

    “At 25 weeks our little girl was born weighing only 1lb 6oz and we named her Harriet. She was tiny and so sick. She fought so hard and had numerous surgeries and other procedures. It was the hardest time of our lives but we never gave up hope.

    “Craig was amazing. He was my rock. Finally, Harriet began to improve and after months we got to bring her home. We want to marry so much and to have our beautiful 12-year-old daughter there as our flower girl on our engagement anniversary would be so special.”

    In Craig’s entry, he said: ““Our journey has been so tough, filled with heartache, sadness and pure elation. We were told Harriet would not make it, but she defied all odds and is our little miracle. “So to complete our dream and to get married when we are 50 and on the anniversary of my proposal would be something very special indeed.”

    On hearing they had won the prize, they said: “We couldn’t believe it, the best surprise you could ever imagine. It means the world to us that our love story will come full circle, a wedding on Valentine’s Day, the same day we got engaged! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

    The lucky winners will also have flower bouquets provided by Isabel’s Flower Studio, photographs by UR Rosa Photography, precious moments to share on social media by Electric Joy Moments Content Creator and Brody Swain as Wedding Toastmaster at the ceremony and reception.

    People had to enter on the Go CV website, saying in no more than 300 words why they deserved to win. They also had to be a Coventry resident and hold a fully validated Go CV card.

    Councillor Kamran Caan, Cabinet Member, Public Health, Sport and Wellbeing, said: “It really is a fantastic prize, and I am delighted for Kelly and Craig to have their dream come true after everything they have been through.

    “Thank you to everyone who entered – there were some very moving and inspiring stories – and congratulations to our winning couple. I know they will have a fantastic day at some truly wonderful venues, and with the help of some very talented local businesses.”

  • MIL-OSI: OMS Energy Technologies Inc. Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OMS Energy Technologies Inc. (“OMS” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OMSE), a growth-oriented manufacturer of surface wellhead systems (“SWS”) and oil country tubular goods (“OCTG”) for the oil and gas industry, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

    Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Total revenues in 2025 were $203.6 million, compared with $18.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $163.3 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.
    • Gross margin in 2025 was 33.9%, compared with 27.6% for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and 29.9% for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.
    • Operating profit in 2025 was $59.9 million, compared with $3.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $40.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

    Mr. How Meng Hock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OMS, commented, “We are extremely proud to report strong results for fiscal year 2025 in our first earnings announcement as a publicly listed company. Our double-digit revenue growth, expanded gross margin, and increase in operating profit are a direct result of our team’s disciplined execution and commitment to delivering value across all areas of our business. We have also recorded several new customer wins and contract renewals since our IPO in May, further broadening and diversifying our revenue base. With our focus on long-term growth, we’re entering fiscal 2026 with strong momentum and a clear strategy for continued innovation and expansion.”

    Mr. Kevin Yeo, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our fiscal 2025 financial performance reflects both top-line strength and meaningful margin improvement. Total revenues grew to $203.6 million, with gross margin reaching 33.9%. Operating profit increased to $59.9 million, highlighting our enhanced cost discipline and the benefits of growing economies of scale. Our net profit for the year was $47.0 million. When excluding a one-time $49.4 million bargain purchase gain recognized in fiscal 2024 related to the Management Buyout, our underlying profitability in 2025 demonstrates strong growth momentum. Supported by these solid fundamentals, a healthy balance sheet and loyal customer base, we remain confident of driving sustainable growth and building long-term shareholder value.”

    Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

    Total revenues. Total revenues in 2025 were $203.6 million, compared with $18.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $163.3 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

    • Specialty connectors and pipes. Revenues from sales of specialty connectors and pipes in 2025 were $143.1 million, compared with $5.1 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $113.5 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a significant increase in demand from one of the Company’s major customers who had higher levels of business activities related to oil and gas production.
    • Surface wellhead and Christmas tree equipment. Revenues from sales of surface wellhead and Christmas tree equipment in 2025 were $8.7 million, compared with $3.0 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $6.8 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to delayed demand from one of the Company’s major customers in Indonesia, who is rationalizing their requirements as they plan for increased production to meet Indonesia’s energy security plan, as well as a delayed shipment to the Middle East which will materialize in the fiscal year 2026.
    • Premium threading services. Revenues from rendering of premium threading services in 2025 were $36.8 million, compared with $7.6 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $31.1 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This slight decrease was primarily attributable to a relatively stable level of rig activities across oil and gas customers in the countries that drive demand for the Company’s premium threading services.
    • Other ancillary services. Revenues generated from other ancillary services in 2025 were $15.0 million, compared with $2.4 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $11.9 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to greater customer demand for engineering testing, inspection and maintenance services.

    Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues in 2025 was $134.6 million, compared with $13.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $114.5 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

    Gross profit. Gross profit in 2025 was $69.0 million, compared with $5.0 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $48.7 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. Gross margin in 2025 was 33.9%, compared with 27.6% for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and 29.9% for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the growth in total revenues, as well as the benefits from economies of scale stemming from higher sales volume, sourcing productivity and an increase in the proportion of higher-margin services performed.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2025 were $9.1 million, compared with $1.8 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $8.6 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in legal and professional fees, staff expenses and depreciation.

    Operating profit. Operating profit in 2025 was $59.9 million, compared with $3.2 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and $40.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

    Total other income/(expense), net. Total other income, net in 2025 was $0.2 million, compared with total other expense, net of $0.08 million for the period from April 1, 2023, through June 15, 2023, and total other income, net of $50.2 million for the period from June 16, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: AI-supported ground processes: Lufthansa, Fraport, and zeroG drive innovation at Frankfurt Airport

    Source: Lufthansa Group

    Lufthansa and Fraport AG have signed an agreement to further optimize aircraft handling at Frankfurt Airport. Together with Lufthansa subsidiary zeroG, the partners are introducing the innovative AI-based camera solution “seer”.

    The goal is to use real-time data to make the turnaround process– i.e., the procedures involved in aircraft handling – more transparent, punctual, and efficient.

    Every step of the handling process, from docking the passenger boarding bridge to loading baggage and refueling at the respective aircraft positions, is recorded by a camera. The AI system then automatically timestamps the respective process steps. This increases the quantity and quality of the available information, which is bundled in a central data base (“single source of truth”).

    Gradual installation at all aircraft positions

    The AI-supported turnaround process is the result of an intensive development and pilot phase that began in 2023. From February to May 2024, Lufthansa and Fraport tested the system at selected aircraft parking positions at Frankfurt Airport. Currently, “seer” is being used at five aircraft parking positions. The number of positions is expected to rise to 20 by the end of the third quarter this year. This will be followed by a gradual, comprehensive rollout at Frankfurt Airport.

    “Transparent ground processes enable us to further improve our punctuality and service quality. This benefits our guests in particular”, says Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airlines. “That is why we are working intensively on modernizing our operational processes with innovative technologies such as the AI-based ‘seer’ solution. When all partners at Frankfurt Airport use their handling data and exchange it among each other, we can become more efficient and even more punctual together.”

    Lufthansa is contributing its extensive operational experience to the project and combining it with Fraport’s airport expertise. zeroG brings together the requirements of the airline and the airport, develops the entire underlying AI and computer vision intelligence behind “seer” as the technological core, and thus ensures seamless integration into existing processes. All airlines and system partners at the location will benefit from “seer”.

    “At Fraport, we are driving forward a wide range of AI solutions to optimize processes at our airports, reduce the workload of our employees, and increase the satisfaction of our passengers and customers“, says Stefan Schulte, CEO of Fraport AG. “The AI-supported turnaround is a perfect example of this. The increased transparency of the data gives our employees and partners a more accurate picture of the individual steps involved in aircraft handling, enabling them to adapt the subsequent work steps accordingly. This not only has a positive effect on the respective handling process, but also on the entire airport operation.“

    “Aircraft don’t earn money by being on the ground – yet this is where the most complex processes take place under intense time pressure. This is exactly where our solution helps: with the support of camera-based AI models, we make processes visible, analyzable, and controllable – in real time,” explains Manuel van Esch, Managing Director of zeroG. “This not only brings greater transparency for airlines and airport operators but also improves punctuality and resource utilization.”

    The close cooperation between Lufthansa, zeroG, and Fraport is an example of successful partnership in aviation. Together, innovations are being developed and implemented that not only strengthen Frankfurt and its airport but also set international standards.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: 2026 Gauteng School admission process begins

    Source: Government of South Africa

    Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane has officially switched on the 2026 Online Admissions System, marking the start of applications for parents and guardians with children going to Grade 1 and Grade 8 at Gauteng public schools in the 2026 academic year. 

    Speaking at the YMCA in Ga-Rankuwa Zone 5, the MEC expressed confidence in the department’s online application system.

    “I have just received confirmation that 80 000 applications have already gone through since the opening this morning. The parents are responding positively, and we are anticipating that we will have a much larger number by the end of the day. So far, so good. I have not received any complaints about glitches. There hasn’t been a system crash, so all is well,” Chiloane said. 

    The YMCA in Ga-Rankuwa Zone 5 serves as one of the 81 walk-in centres across the province, where parents and guardians who do not have access to the requisite resources can get assistance. 

    Parents and guardians can submit their application online on any device by visiting www.gdeadmissions.gov.za. The 2026 online admissions application period will close on Friday, 29 August 2025 at midnight. 

    The MEC said significant upgrades have been made to the province’s online admissions system aimed at improving user experience and processing efficiency. 

    “Every year after we have done the application process, we do a review and engage a couple of stakeholders that interact with the system, the learner, parent, SGB just to get feedback as to where can we improve. 

    “Largely, it has been improvements in communication that we have made. When you apply you get an SMS that shows you have completed the steps,” he said. 

    The MEC said another major enhancement was the system’s processing capacity. 

    The upgraded platform can now handle up to 40 000 applications per minute, reducing delays and improving turnaround time during the high-traffic application period.

    “We have also improved as well on allowing parents (mother and father) to apply for the same child but obviously the system will only give them an option of 5 schools, so there has been quite a lot of improvement in the system, we have done quite a lot,” Chiloane said. 

    How the system works

    All parents need to register new profiles. Old profiles and previous login details will not work.

    After registering on www.gdeadmissions.gov.za, the system will prompt parents to create login credentials (username and password).

    “Parents must keep these credentials safe, as they will use them to access the Online Admissions System, and view and manage their profile and application details.

    “Parents must accept the POPI [Protection of Personal Information] disclaimer, enter their correct ID number and details, and remember to read and accept the Terms and Conditions,” Chiloane advised. 

    Once parents have gained access to the system, they must begin with the application process and ensure that they complete the 5 step application process. 

    “It is essential for parents and guardians to fill in correct and accurate details in every step of the application process as prompted by the system. Documents must be uploaded or submitted within seven days of applying.

    “Registering a profile without completing every step of the 5 step application process will result in an incomplete application and the applicant not being considered for placement,” he said.

    To receive important SMS notifications and updates regarding their application(s), applicants must provide one reliable and correct cellphone number when registering.

    “Every step of the application process will be confirmed via SMS for security and verification purposes. There will be weekly pop-up messages on the system and SMS notifications sent to registered applicants as reminders to complete their application.

    “SMS notifications will also be sent to parents to acknowledge submission and verification of documents. Therefore, parents are encouraged not to change or lose their cellphone numbers, but in unforeseen cases the department must be contacted for assistance,” the MEC explained.

    He encouraged parents to use the Home Address Within School Feeder Zone option when applying on the system to see schools with feeder zones that cover their home address.

    To increase the chances of placement closer to the parent’s home address, parents should select schools with feeder zones that cover the parent’s home address.

    When applying, parents are urged to select a minimum of three schools and a maximum of five schools. All schools will remain open and accessible on the system for applications during the application period.

    Closing date 

    No new applications will be accepted once the application period closes on 29 August 2025 at midnight. Parents are advised to not fall for scams that charge a fee to assist with applying online.

    “Bogus operators are scamming parents by falsely promising guaranteed placements in exchange for money. All scams and illegal placements must be reported to the GDE. The GDE does not charge any fees for assisting parents with the application process, all official support is completely free,” the MEC emphasised.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Boys rescued from mountain cliffs near Mahlakwane village

    Source: Government of South Africa

    Thursday, July 24, 2025

    Communities in Sekhukhune, Limpopo, have been urged to explore mountains cautiously and with proper guidance or supervision after four young boys went missing and required a search and rescue operation to be rescued. 

    On Monday, 21 July 2025, four boys from Mahlakwane village in Sekhukhune went to the mountain to hunt until late at night.

    They failed to return home and the following day, family members went to the police station to report them missing.

    “The report prompted the police to launch an immediate joint search operation conducted by Zaiplaas Vispol members, Burgersfort K9 unit, the Search and Rescue team, Emergency Medical Services personnel, fire department and community members.

    “They then embarked on a search with a view to safely rescue the four young boys, aged between nine and 19, who were trapped in the cliffs on the mountain at Mahlakwana village,” said the police in a statement.

    Three were successfully rescued, while the eldest one was found at his home after the operation.

    Provincial Commissioner of Police in Limpopo, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, cautioned communities to explore mountains safely.

    “This warning aims to raise awareness to prevent similar incidents and ensure public safety. We urge parents and guardians to take extra care of their children and to ensure that they are aware of their whereabouts at all times,” said Hadebe. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Gauteng welcomes arrests in high profile cases

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has commended the South African Police Service (SAPS) for their swift and decisive action in apprehending suspects linked to several high-profile crimes.

    These cases include the tragic murder of City of Ekurhuleni Chief Auditor, Mpho Mafole, as well suspects linked to the murder of renowned DJ Sumbody, the killing of engineer Armand Swart, and the attempted murder of actress Tebogo Thobejane.

    “These developments reflect the commitment and capability of law enforcement to pursue justice and dismantle criminal networks that threaten public safety and the rule of law.

    “However, while these successes are commendable, the committee emphasises that all victims of crime, regardless of their public profile, deserve equal attention, protection and justice. The fight against crime must be consistent and inclusive,” Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Community Safety, Bandile Masuku, said on Thursday.

    Mafole, who served as the Group Divisional Head for Corporate and Forensic Audits, was brutally gunned down in Kempton Park last month in an execution-style killing. 

    His death sent shockwaves across the province, while highlighting the grave risks faced by public servants committed to transparency and good governance.

    “The committee welcomes the arrest of one suspect, who appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court yesterday. However, the second suspect, Hlanganani Agripper Mncwango, remains at large. The committee urges law enforcement to intensify efforts and leave no stone unturned in ensuring his swift apprehension,” Masuku said.

    The case was postponed to 15 August 2025 for further investigation.

    “It is particularly alarming that the arrested suspect was reportedly out on bail for a similar murder charge at the time of Mafole’s killing. This raises serious concerns about the adequacy of bail conditions in cases involving violent crimes and calls for an urgent review of current judicial practices to prevent repeat offenses and safeguard communities.

    “The committee also applauds SAPS for recent breakthroughs in other high profile cases, including the arrests of suspects linked to the murder of renowned DJ Sumbody, the killing of Swart, and the attempted murder of actress Thobejane. Crucially, the committee reiterates that trust between the police and the communities they serve is fundamental to effective policing.

    “Building and maintaining this trust requires transparency, accountability, and ongoing engagement. Communities must feel confident that their safety is a priority and that their cooperation with law enforcement will lead to meaningful outcomes. Without this trust, efforts to combat crime will be severely undermined,” Masuku said. – SAnews.gov.za

    The International Criminal Police Organisation’s (INTERPOL) National Central Bureau (NCB) in Pretoria has arrested a 57-year-old Chinese fugitive, who is believed to be linked to a case of fraud reported in China.

    According to a preliminary report, INTERPOL circulated a Red Notice to all member countries to locate and provisionally arrest the Chinese national.

    This as wanted persons often flee to another country to evade their arrest.

    “The suspect reportedly applied for a visa at the United States of America Embassy in Sandton when his fugitive status was flagged, leading to his arrest on Tuesday, 22 July 2025,” said the police in a statement.

    The suspect made his first appearance in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 23 July 2025.

    The police said the INTERPOL NCB continues to record commendable successes in dismantling transnational crime syndicates and arresting international fugitives in the country. – SAnews.gov.za
