MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Supporting Gaelic’s growth

Source: Scottish Government

Funding for schools and cultural projects.

A new Gaelic primary school is set to open in Glasgow next year after a £2 million investment from the Scottish Government.

The funding will complete the refurbishment and extension of the former St James’ Primary School building to establish Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn (Calton Gaelic Primary School) which will become the city’s fourth Gaelic language primary.

Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Gaelic Kate Forbes announced the investment as part of a £2.4 million package to support Gaelic schools and cultural initiatives across Scotland.

The funding will also support:

the construction of a second classroom at West Primary School in Paisley
the expansion of two Gaelic cultural centres in the Highlands
cultural events through An Comunn Gàidhealach who will host this year’s Royal National Mòd in Lochaber

On a visit to the site of the new school, Ms Forbes said:

“This school will build on the encouraging surge we have seen in the number of Gaelic speakers and learners in Glasgow and support the language’s growth into the future.

“Gaelic medium education enriches communities and offers good value for money by providing better grade averages across all qualification levels despite costs being no greater than average.

“To support Gaelic’s growth across Scotland, we are providing an additional £5.7 million for Gaelic initiatives this year. We are also progressing the Scottish Languages Bill which, if passed by MSPs, will introduce measures to strengthen the provision of Gaelic education.”

The new school, with space for 416 pupils, will be managed by Glasgow City Council. It meets a growing demand for Gaelic primary education in the city. Census figures published last year show a 45% increase in the number of people with some Gaelic skills in Glasgow compared to 2011.

Alison Richardson, headteacher of Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn, said:

“With Gaelic medium education continuing to flourish in Glasgow, our pupils and parents are excited and proud to be moving Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn into its very own repurposed school located in the East End.

“We look forward to supporting Gaelic’s growth in the Calton area, where many spoke it in the past, and for the school to become a real focal point and asset to the local community.”

A’ cumail taic ri fàs na Gàidhlig

Maoineachadh do sgoiltean agus pròiseactan cultarail.

Tha bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig ùr gu bhith a’ fosgladh ann an Glaschu an ath-bhliadhna às dèidh tasgadh-airgid luach £2 millean bho Riaghaltas na h-Alba.

Leis a’ mhaoineachadh, thèid crìoch a chur air ath-uidheamachadh agus leudachadh an t-seann togalaich air làrach Bun-sgoil Naoimh Sheumais airson Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn a stèidheachadh, ’s i gu bhith na ceathramh bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig sa bhaile.

Dh’fhoillsich an Leas-Phrìomh Mhinistear agus Rùnaire a’ Chaibineit airson na h-Eaconamaidh agus na Gàidhlig, Ceit Fhoirbeis, an tasgadh-airgid mar phàirt de phacaid luach £2.4 millean a chumas taic ri sgoiltean agus iomairtean cultarail Gàidhlig air feadh Alba.

Cumaidh am maoineachadh cuideachd taic ri:

leudachadh air dà ionad cultair Gàidhlig air a’ Ghàidhealtachd
tachartasan cultarail tron Chomunn Ghàidhealach a chumas am Mòd Rìoghail Nàiseanta ann an Loch Abar am-bliadhna

Air turas do làrach na sgoile ùr, thuirt a’ Bh-uas. Fhoirbeis:

“Togaidh an sgoil seo air an àrdachadh bhrosnachail a chunnacas ann an àireamh luchd-labhairt agus luchd-ionnsachaidh na Gàidhlig ann an Glaschu, ’s i a’ cur taic ri fàs a’ chànain san àm ri teachd.

“Tha foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig a’ cur beairteas ri coimhearsnachdan agus tha deagh luach an airgid na lùib, ’s comharran cuibheasach nas fheàrr gan toirt do sgoilearan thar gach ìre teisteanais gun cosgaisean a bhith nas àirde na tha iad sa chumantas.

“Gus taic a chumail ri fàs na Gàidhlig air feadh Alba, tha sinn a’ toirt £5.7 millean a bharrachd do dh’iomairtean Gàidhlig am-bliadhna. Tha sinn cuideachd a’ toirt air adhart Bile nan Cànan Albannach, agus ma ghabhas na BPA rithe, bheir i a-steach ceumannan gus solarachadh foghlam Gàidhlig a neartachadh.”

Thèid an sgoil ùr, far am bi àite do 416 sgoilear, a stiùireadh le Comhairle Baile Ghlaschu. Tha i a’ coileanadh iarrtas a tha a’ sìor-fhàs air foghlam Gàidhlig bun-sgoile anns a’ bhaile. Tha figearan a’ chunntais-shluaigh a chaidh fhoillseachadh an-uiridh a’ sealltainn àrdachadh de 45% ann an àireamh nan daoine le beagan sgilean Gàidhlig ann an Glaschu an taca ri 2011.

Thuirt Alison Richardson, ceannard Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn:

“Le foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig a’ sìor-shoirbheachadh ann an Glaschu, tha na sgoilearan agus pàrantan againn air bhioran agus moiteil gum bi Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a’ Challtainn a’ gluasad a-steach dhan sgoil ath-leasaichte aice fhèin, ’s i suidhichte ann an Ceann an Ear a’ bhaile.

“Tha sinn a’ dèanamh fiughair ri taic a chumail ri fàs na Gàidhlig ann an sgìre a’ Challtainn, far an robh mòran ga bruidhinn san àm a dh’fhalbh, agus ri an sgoil a bhith aig fìor theas-meadhan na coimhearsnachd ionadail agus na buannachd dhi.”

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Bells across Stoke-on-Trent to ring out in Centenary celebration

Source: City of Stoke-on-Trent

Published: Tuesday, 3rd June 2025

Each of the six towns’ bells will chime in unison at 6.30pm as a symbolic reminder of the unity and shared identity that brings Stoke-on-Trent’s towns together.

To mark the city’s 100th birthday, the bells of all six towns will ring out together on Stoke-on-Trent Day, Wednesday 5 June 2025, in a unique and historic celebration of the city’s rich heritage and community spirit.

Each of the six towns’ bells will chime in unison at 6.30pm as a symbolic reminder of the unity and shared identity that brings Stoke-on-Trent’s towns together.

This includes the former Hanley bells, which were fully refurbished and installed into St Mary’s Stafford in early 2023.

Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, Councillor Steve Watkins, said: “Bells have been used for centuries to communicate messages, announce events, and mark historical moments so what better way to mark our Centenary than ringing all six of the city’s town bells at the same time.

“Each bell represents the unique character and history of our six towns, and when they ring together, they remind us all of the strength and unity that define our city.”

The bell ringing is part of a wider programme of centenary events throughout 2025, designed to bring communities together and honour Stoke-on-Trent’s past, present and future.

This includes the People’s Parade on Saturday 7 June, and a host of activities and exhibitions celebrating Stoke-on-Trent’s Centenary.

MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin: Modernization of Moscow’s palliative care framework completed

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

The comprehensive project to modernize Moscow’s largest multidisciplinary palliative care center is nearing completion. The reconstruction of the last facility, building No. 2 on Dvintsev Street (house 6, building 2), has been completed. Sergei Sobyanin reported this in on your telegram channel.

“We have completed the modernization of the framework of the Moscow palliative care service. A new generation palliative care service is being created in the capital – with a modern infrastructure, mobile and inpatient care, training of specialists and support for relatives. It includes hospices, departments in city hospitals, mobile teams and the Moscow Multidisciplinary Palliative Care Center. In recent years, we have updated

seven buildings of this center. Today, after reconstruction, the last one is completely ready for opening — Building No. 2 on Dvintsev Street. It will start working in the near future,” the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin

As a result of the modernization of the center, it was possible to significantly increase the availability and quality of palliative care for needy residents of the capital. Today, Moscow’s palliative care service is the most modern and equipped.

The seven-story building, with an area of over nine thousand square meters and designed for 90 beds, has created the most comfortable environment for patients, relatives and medical workers.

In addition to comfortable wards with specialized interiors and equipment, the modernized building houses a small operating room for minimally invasive surgical procedures and manipulations. It will provide surgical treatment of extensive wounds and bedsores, replacement of drains and stomas, laparo- and thoracocentesis directly in the center, without transporting palliative patients to other medical organizations.

The renovated building will house Moscow’s fifth long-term respiratory support department with 25 beds. Previously, such departments (each with 25 beds) were opened at the Kolomenskoye branch (1 Akademika Millionshchikova Street, Building 2) and the Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center (MMCC) “Kommunarka”.

During the reconstruction of the building, specialists installed a ventilated façade with insulation and metal cassette cladding, laid a new roll roof covering, replaced the engineering systems, including an individual heating point and a water meter unit. The building was equipped with fire protection and video surveillance systems. Six passenger elevators and two additional hydraulic freight elevators were installed.

The interior finishing works were carried out using high-quality materials, as stipulated by the interior design standard for palliative care facilities.

More than six thousand units of modern equipment, medical products and furniture were purchased to equip the building.

The center has created a barrier-free comfortable environment that will allow patients to spend more time not only in their wards, but also in the fresh air. During the improvement work, a lawn was laid out next to the building and convenient sidewalks were installed. In addition, the asphalt on the driveways was renewed, lanterns, benches and urns were installed, a small parking lot was organized, and landscaping was carried out.

The renovated palliative care center building on Dvintsev Street will receive its first patients in the third quarter of 2025.

In recent years, seven buildings of the Moscow Multidisciplinary Palliative Care Center have been renovated:

— two buildings on Dvintsev Street, building 6 — the first building (building 1) with 101 beds and an administrative building (building 3) with a food block;

— branch “Lyublino” (Shkuleva street, building 4, building 2);

— Kolomenskoye branch (Akademika Millionshchikova Street, Building 1, Building 2);

— two buildings of the Danilovsky branch (1st Shchipkovsky Lane, building 19/1, buildings 1, 2);

— branch of the First Moscow Children’s Hospice (Bogatyrsky Most Street, Building 17, Building 1).

In addition, the palliative care building at the Morozov Children’s Hospital and the palliative care department of the Botkin Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific Clinical Center have undergone major renovations.

Sobyanin: Healthcare system undergoing its largest modernization

About the Palliative Care Center

The Moscow Multidisciplinary Palliative Care Center (MMCPCC) was established in 2015 on the premises of the former City Clinical Hospital No. 11 (6 Dvintsev Street). Historically, it specialized in providing medical care to terminally ill patients.

In 2017, the First Moscow Hospice named after V.V. Millionshchikova with eight branches in different districts of the capital joined it:

— Central Administrative District — Dovatora Street, Building 10 (Khamovniki District);

— SEAD — 2nd Volskaya street, building 21 (Nekrasovka district);

— South Administrative District — 3rd Radial Street, Building 2a (Biryulevo Vostochnoye District);

— South-West Administrative Okrug — Polyany Street, Building 4 (Northern Butovo district);

— SZAO — Kurkinskoe shosse, building 33 (Kurkino district);

— Zelenograd Administrative District — Zelenograd, building 1701 (Kryukovo district);

— SAO — Taldomskaya street, building 2a (Zapadnoye Degunino district);

— SVAO — 1st Leonova Street, Building 1 (Rostokino district).

In 2019, the First Moscow Children’s Hospice was added to the center. In 2022, it began operating in a renovated comfortable building on Bogatyrsky Most Street.

In 2022–2023, as part of the implementation of the palliative care standard, the following branches were opened: Lyublino (4 Shkuleva Street, Building 2), Kolomenskoye (1 Akademika Millionshchikova Street, Building 2), and Danilovsky (1st Shchipkovsky Lane, Building 19/1, Buildings 1, 2).

Thus, today the total capacity of the Moscow Multidisciplinary Palliative Care Center is over 630 beds for adult patients and 30 beds for children. It employs 1902 people, including 297 doctors, 526 mid-level and 447 junior medical personnel, 632 workers of other specializations.

Development of palliative care in Moscow

Expanding access to high-quality and timely palliative care is one of the most important priorities for the development of Moscow healthcare.

Today, inpatient palliative care for adults is provided at the Moscow Medical Center for Pediatrics and Gynecology …

To provide palliative care at home, 17 mobile palliative care departments have been organized.

Since 2018, the package of doctors for providing palliative medical care at home includes narcotic and psychotropic drugs, as well as prescriptions for such drugs. This allows for the prompt relief of severe symptoms without hospitalizing the patient. A specialized team for pain relief works in Moscow around the clock.

In addition, a coordination center (phone: 7 499 444-04-50) operates 24 hours a day to provide palliative care.

MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: HA follows up on reagent recall

Source: Hong Kong Information Services

The Hospital Authority (HA) today said it is proactively following up with medical device supplier Abbott Laboratories about the product recall of a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reagent.

Two affected batches of the reagent were delivered to Caritas Medical Centre (CMC) and Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH) respectively.

CMC started to use the affected batch of reagent to test 406 patient blood samples since April 28, while the reagent delivered to TMH has not been used yet.

On May 27, the HA received notification from the supplier about complaints received in different places, revealing quality issues with certain batches of a PSA reagent.

These issues have led to deviations in test results, with some readings exhibiting a positive bias greater than 10%, which could potentially lead to a misdiagnosis of prostate cancer, causing doctors to erroneously consider unnecessary treatments.

For prudence sake, CMC has reviewed the test results of the 406 affected patient blood samples. It will contact approximately 70 patients this week and rearrange blood tests based on the patients’ clinical needs.

The remaining patients have also been scheduled for follow-up appointments in the coming weeks, during which doctors will explain the event and arrange appropriate management to ensure their treatment unaffected.

The HA said a PSA test is not a standalone diagnostic indicator and doctors will make a comprehensive clinical judgment based on patient’s clinical condition and other examinations to diagnose whether the patient has prostate cancer.

It also pointed out that the CMC has confirmed that no patients have undergone unnecessary clinical procedures nor experienced delays in treatment.

CMC has set up a hotline, 5334 0388 for patient enquiries.

As the reagent delivered to TMH has not yet been put into use, no patients have been affected.

Both CMC and TMH have stopped using the affected batches of reagent and replaced them with alternatives. The HA has also reviewed the reagent used in other public hospitals and confirmed that none have used the affected batches.

The PSA testing service in all public hospitals remains unaffected.

The HA is stringently following up on this event and has notified the Department of Health (DH).

The HA has demanded the supplier concerned to thoroughly investigate its quality control and testing records, provide an explanation, and implement remedial measures.

The authority also does not rule out taking further action to hold the supplier accountable, and will continue to closely follow up with the DH and the supplier.

The supplier will be required to provide quality control records and testing certifications in the future to prove that their testing supplies meet with the stringent requirements, so as to ascertain patient safety and testing accuracy.

MIL-Evening Report: Fiji coup culture and political meddling in media education gets airing

Pacific Media Watch

Taieri MP Ingrid Leary reflected on her years in Fiji as a television journalist and media educator at a Fiji Centre function in Auckland celebrating Fourth Estate values and independence at the weekend.

It was a reunion with former journalism professor David Robie — they had worked together as a team at the University of the South Pacific amid media and political controversy leading up to the George Speight coup in May 2000.

Leary was the guest speaker at a gathering of human rights activists, development advocates, academics and journalists hosted at the Whānau Community Centre and Hub, the umbrella base for the Fiji Centre and Asia Pacific Media Network.

She said she was delighted to meet “special people in David’s life” and to be speaking to a diverse group sharing “similar values of courage, freedom of expression, truth and tino rangatiratanga”.

“I want to start this talanoa on Friday, 19 May 2000 — 13 years almost to the day of the first recognised military coup in Fiji in 1987 — when failed businessman George Speight tore off his balaclava to reveal his identity.

She pointed out that there had actually been another “coup” 100 years earlier by Ratu Cakobau.

“Speight had seized Parliament holding the elected government at gunpoint, including the politician mother, Lavinia Padarath, of one of my best friends — Anna Padarath.

Hostage-taking report
“Within minutes, the news of the hostage-taking was flashed on Radio Fiji’s 10 am bulletin by a student journalist on secondment there — Tamani Nair. He was a student of David Robie’s.”

Nair had been dispatched to Parliament to find out what was happening and reported from a cassava patch.

“Fiji TV was trashed . . . and transmission pulled for 48 hours.

“The university shut down — including the student radio facilities, and journalism programme website — to avoid a similar fate, but the journalism school was able to keep broadcasting and publishing via a parallel website set up at the University of Technology Sydney.

“The pictures were harrowing, showing street protests turning violent and the barbaric behaviour of Speight’s henchmen towards dissenters.

“Thus began three months of heroic journalism by David’s student team — including through a period of martial law that began 10 days later and saw some of the most restrictive levels of censorship ever experienced in the South Pacific.”

Leary paid tribute to some some of the “brave satire” produced by senior Fiji Times reporters filling paper with “non-news” (such as haircuts, drinking kava) as act of defiance.

“My friend Anna Padarath returned from doing her masters in law in Australia on a scholarship to be closer to her Mum, whose hostage days within Parliament Grounds stretched into weeks and then months.

Invisible consequences
“Anna would never return to her studies — one of the many invisible consequences of this profoundly destructive era in Fiji’s complex history.

“Happily, she did go on to carve an incredible career as a women’s rights advocate.”

“Meanwhile David’s so-called ‘barefoot student journalists’ — who snuck into Parliament the back way by bushtrack — were having their stories read and broadcast globally.

“And those too shaken to even put their hands to keyboards on Day 1 emerged as journalism leaders who would go on to win prizes for their coverage.”

Speight was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned in 2024.

Leary said that was just one chapter in the remarkable career of David Robie who had been an editor, news director, foreign news editor and freelance writer with a number of different agencies and news organisations — including Agence France-Presse, Rand Daily Mail, The Auckland Star, Insight Magazine, and New Outlook Magazine — “a family member to some, friend to many, mentor to most”.

Reflecting on working with Dr Robie at USP, which she joined as television lecturer from Fiji Television, she said:

“At the time, being a younger person, I thought he was a little but crazy, because he was communicating with people all around the world when digital media was in its infancy in Fiji, always on email, always getting up on online platforms, and I didn’t appreciate the power of online media at the time.

“And it was incredible to watch.”

Ahead of his time
She said he was an innovator and ahead of his time.

Dr Robie viewed journalism as a tool for empowerment, aiming to provide communities with the information they needed to make informed decisions.

“We all know that David has been a champion of social justice and for decolonisation, and for the values of an independent Fourth Estate.”

She said she appreciated the freedom to develop independent media as an educator, adding that one of her highlights was producing the groundbreaking documentary Maire about Maire Bopp Du Pont, who was a student journalist at USP and advocate for the Pacific community living with HIV/AIDs community.

She later became a nuclear-free Pacific parliamentarian in Pape’ete.

Leary presented Dr Robie with a “speaking stick” carved from an apricot tree branch by the husband of a Labour stalwart based in Cromwell — the event doubled as his 80th birthday.

In response, Dr Robie said the occasion was a “golden opportunity” to thank many people who had encouraged and supported him over many years.

Massive upheaval
“We must have done something right,” he said about USP, “because in 2000, the year of George Speight’s coup, our students covered the massive upheaval which made headlines around the world when Mahendra Chaudhry’s Labour-led coalition government was held at gunpoint for 56 days.

“The students courageously covered the coup with their website Pacific Journalism Online and their newspaper Wansolwara — “One Ocean”. They won six Ossie Awards – unprecedented for a single university — in Australia that year and a standing ovation.”

He said there was a video on YouTube of their exploits called Frontline Reporters and one of the students, Christine Gounder, wrote an article for a Commonwealth Press Union magazine entitled, “From trainees to professionals. And all it took was a coup”.

Dr Robie said this Fiji experience was still one of the most standout experiences he had had as a journalist and educator.

Along with similar coverage of the 1997 Sandline mercenary crisis by his students at the University of Papua New Guinea.

He made some comments about the 1985 Rainbow Warrior voyage to Rongelap in the Marshall islands and the subsequent bombing by French secret agents in Auckland.

But he added “you can read all about this adventure in my new book” being published in a few weeks.

Biggest 21st century crisis
Dr Robie said the profession of journalism, truth telling and holding power to account, was vitally important to a healthy democracy.

Although media did not succeed in telling people what to think, it did play a vital role in what to think about. However, the media world was undergoing massive change and fragmentation.

“And public trust is declining in the face of fake news and disinformation,” he said

“I think we are at a crossroads in society, both locally and globally. Both journalism and democracy are under an unprecedented threat in my lifetime.

“When more than 230 journalists can be killed in 19 months in Gaza and there is barely a bleep from the global community, there is something savagely wrong.

“The Gazan journalists won the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize collectively last year with the judges saying, “As humanity, we have a huge debt to their courage and commitment to freedom of expression.”

“The carnage and genocide in Gaza is deeply disturbing, especially the failure of the world to act decisively to stop it. The fact that Israel can kill with impunity at least 54,000 people, mostly women and children, destroy hospitals and starve people to death and crush a people’s right to live is deeply shocking.

“This is the biggest crisis of the 21st century. We see this relentless slaughter go on livestreamed day after day and yet our media and politicians behave as if this is just ‘normal’. It is shameful, horrendous. Have we lost our humanity?

“Gaza has been our test. And we have failed.”

Other speakers included Whānau Hub co-founder Nik Naidu, one of the anti-coup Coalition for Democracy in Fiji (CDF) stalwarts; the Heritage New Zealand’s Antony Phillips; and Multimedia Investments and Evening Report director Selwyn Manning.

MIL-OSI: Micron Ships World’s First 1γ (1-Gamma)-Based LPDDR5X, Enabling Rich Mobile AI Experiences
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

BOISE, Idaho, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), announced today that it is shipping qualification samples of the world’s first 1γ (1-gamma) node-based low-power double data rate 5X (LPDDR5X) memory, designed to accelerate AI applications on flagship smartphones. Delivering the industry’s fastest LPDDR5X speed grade of 10.7 gigabits per second (Gbps), combined with up to a 20% power savings,¹ Micron LPDDR5X transforms smartphones with faster, smoother mobile experiences and longer battery life — even when executing data-intensive workloads such as AI-powered translation or image generation.

To meet the industry’s increasing demand for compact solutions for next-generation smartphone designs, Micron’s engineers have shrunk the LPDDR5X package size to offer the industry’s thinnest package of 0.61 millimeters,² making it 6% thinner compared to competitive offerings,³ and representing a 14% height reduction from the previous generation.⁴ The small form factor unlocks more possibilities for smartphone manufacturers to design ultrathin or foldable smartphones.

“Micron’s 1-gamma node-based LPDDR5X memory is a game-changer for the mobile industry,” said Mark Montierth, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron’s Mobile and Client Business Unit. “This breakthrough technology delivers lightning-fast speeds and remarkable power efficiency — all within the industry’s thinnest LPDDR5X package — paving the way for exciting new smartphone designs. This solution demonstrates our commitment to empowering the ecosystem to create extraordinary mobile experiences.”

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.

The company’s 1γ-based LPDDR5X enables dramatic leaps in performance for mobile users by enabling faster AI insights. For example, Micron evaluated mobile AI response times from large language model Llama 2, based on 1γ LPDDR5X’s 10.7 Gbps bandwidth compared to 1β (1-beta) LPDDR5X’s 7.5 Gbps bandwidth,⁵ finding:
- Responses are 30% faster when asking for location-based restaurant recommendations.
- Results are more than 50% faster when translating a voice inquiry in English to text in Spanish to ask for directions.
- Responses can be up to 25% faster when requesting car purchase recommendations based on vehicle type, affordability and certain infotainment and safety features.⁶
Now ramping in Micron’s mobile portfolio, Micron’s 1γ-based LPDDR5X is the company’s first mobile solution to leverage advanced EUV lithography — providing customers with early access to the latest performance and power efficiency advancements, based on the industry’s most advanced memory node technology. This milestone builds on Micron’s February sampling of 1γ-based DDR5 memory for next-generation CPUs in the data center and client segments. Micron’s optimized 1γ DRAM node leverages CMOS⁷ advancements like next-generation high-K metal gate technology for improved transistor performance and incorporates leading-edge EUV lithography for enhanced bit density.

As energy-intensive mobile AI workloads are increasingly processed on-device rather than only in the cloud, low-power chips are crucial for devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops, which need to conserve power while performing AI computations.

Micron’s 1γ-based LPDDR5X’s significant 20% power savings will allow mobile users to enjoy their favorite AI applications, games and video content longer on a single charge. In addition, as AI intensifies the need for powerful, energy-efficient compute, data center servers, intelligent vehicles and AI PCs may also increasingly adopt LPDDR5X for its unique blend of optimized power efficiency and high performance.

Micron is currently sampling 1γ-based LPDDR5X 16 gigabyte (GB) products to select partners and will offer a wide range of capacities from 8GB to 32GB for use in 2026 flagship smartphones.

MIL-OSI: Apollo Capital Warns MediPharm Shareholders Current CEO David Pidduck is Looking for an Exit
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

CEO David Pidduck has Stated Desire to Cash Out at Current Levels

Pidduck and Current Board Do Not Have Conviction in MediPharm or its Long-Term Value Creation Strategy

Apollo Capital has a Plan to Increase MediPharm Share Price from $0.07 to Over $1.00 in Three Years, Restoring Medipharm’s Position as a Leading Global Medical Cannabis Company.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO VOTE THE GOLD CARD “FOR” APOLLO CAPITAL’S SIX DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND NOT VOTE MEDIPHARM’s GREEN CARD

TORONTO, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo Technology Capital Corporation (“Apollo Capital”), one of MediPharm Lab’s largest investors, today warns all Medipharm shareholders that CEO David Pidduck is looking to sell the Company to cash out his shares based on credible information available to the investor. If shareholders support MediPharm’s current slate of directors, shareholders can expect to be heavily diluted while top executives take up to $5M in change in control payments.

In 2025, a current Board member told Apollo Capital directly that CEO Pidduck was looking to sell the company to trigger his change in control awards. That Board member expressed their concern that the transaction was excessively dilutive and undervalued for shareholders. Since that time, multiple sources have come forward to confirm Pidduck and the current Board’s plans to pursue a transaction which would fire sell Medipharm’s assets at a discount. A sale of MediPharm would only benefit Pidduck and the current Board, not its shareholders.

Between October 2024 and April 2025, Apollo Capital & Pidduck had multiple negotiations about Apollo Capital’s desire to make an investment in Medipharm in order to bolster its ability to pursue an aggressive growth strategy. In these negotiations, Pidduck was clear that he wants to cash out his shares, which were not bought, but instead granted to him by MediPharm.

In 2025, a written offer to invest $3.4M in a private placement at the then-current market price with no discount or warrant coverage and to invest an additional nearly $3.5M to acquire shares from CEO Pidduck and President Stachan. As part of the significant cash investment, Apollo Capital would acquire 2 board seats to help guide a strategic growth strategy that the Company still lacks. Apollo Capital’s offer was rejected.

“Our offer represented a way for MediPharm to capitalize the Company without selling key assets. Our goal was to preserve value for all shareholders. We saw our investment as a critical step towards rebuilding value at MediPharm. If our offer was accepted, we would have avoided a proxy contest and the cash balance would be millions higher than it is today. We would already be well on our way toward achieving our goal of a 10x increase in the stock price,” said Regan McGee, CEO of Apollo Capital.

Apollo Capital asks:
- If Management’s plan is working, why would they want to sell the Company at the current valuation?
- Why would the CEO want to sell his shares in Medipharm if he believed in its long-term strategy?
- Where would the share price be today if management had accepted Apollo Capital’s offer, choosing to work with rather than against its largest shareholder in the interest of all shareholders?
Why We Have Invested:

Apollo Capital has invested in MediPharm and nominated director candidates to order to drive the urgent change needed to put the Company back on the right path. We see a clear opportunity to revitalize the business, reposition MediPharm as a market leader, and unlock value over the long term, with the potential to increase the share price to over $1.00.

Apollo Capital’s goal is to build a Company for the long term that creates lasting value for all shareholders. It is NOT to acquire the Company, as MediPharm’s current management has falsely claimed. Since the start of the proxy contest, which management forced at great expense to MediPharm, Apollo Capital has not purchased, sold, shorted, or been involved in any transactions involving the Company’s stock. We are here to be long-term investors and to rebuild MediPharm into a leading medical cannabis company.

Apollo Capital’s strategic five-pillar plan for MediPharm has been made available in detail at www.curemedipharm.com. With shareholder support, we can turn MediPharm around and transform it into the world’s leading medical cannabis company.

Apollo Capital urges shareholders to vote for change by voting the GOLD CARD by June 13, 2025. Shareholders are urged NOT to sign or return the green proxy cards sent by the Company.

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

MELBOURNE, Fla., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orion180, a leading provider of innovative insurance solutions, today announced the availability of its Residential Private Flood Insurance in Florida. Designed to provide fair, competitive, and comprehensive coverage, Orion180’s flood insurance solution leverages advanced risk analysis and customizable policy options to offer homeowners a smarter alternative to traditional options.

Despite rising sea levels and increased hurricane frequency causing more flooding in Florida, only about 12% of Florida’s nine million properties had flood insurance as of June 2024—leaving a vast majority of homeowners financially vulnerable. These environmental changes have led to residential flooding extending beyond traditionally high-risk zones, with approximately 25% of all flood claims nationwide now coming from moderate- to low-risk areas.

With low coverage rates, high premiums, and increasing flood risks, Florida homeowners need a reliable and accessible insurance solution that provides adequate protection without unnecessary hurdles. Orion180 goes beyond Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood maps, as their data-driven underwriting incorporates advanced third-party flood mapping and property-specific risk assessments, ensuring more accurate pricing and better protection for policyholders. With competitive pricing and a seamless, digital-first experience, Orion180 is making flood insurance more accessible, flexible, and beneficial for Florida homeowners.

Key Benefits of Orion180’s Residential Private Flood Insurance include:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Offers up to $1M in building coverage with a 10-day or less waiting period, far exceeding many traditional flood insurance policies like the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) managed by FEMA, which only offers up to $250,000 with a 30-day waiting period.
- No Elevation Certificate Required: Most homeowners can secure coverage without additional paperwork or home inspections.
- Mortgage-approved: Policies meet FMAC and FNMA guidelines, ensuring seamless acceptance by mortgage lenders.
- Additional Policy Enhancements: Includes loss of use, personal property replacement cost, water backup/sump pump overflow coverage, swimming pool cleanup/repair, and debris removal, among other benefits.
- Expanded Zone Coverage: Covers all flood zones (X, A, & V) to provide protection where it’s needed most.
“Flooding is a growing concern for homeowners in Florida, and too often, people find themselves underinsured or facing expensive policies with limited options,” said Ken Gregg, CEO of Orion180. “Our goal is to simplify the process, offer more competitive rates, and provide homeowners with superior protection that aligns with their actual risk—not just their zip code.”

Homeowners can purchase Orion180’s Residential Private Flood Insurance as a standalone policy in Florida, Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee or as an add-on to their existing Orion180 surplus lines home insurance in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.

MIL-OSI: Ciroos Raises $21M to Bring Agentic AI to Operations Teams

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

PLEASANTON, Calif., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ciroos, a pioneer in AI-powered operations, today announced it has raised $21 million, led by Energy Impact Partners LP (EIP), to deliver the industry’s first extensible, multi-domain AI SRE Teammate for modern enterprise operations. The company’s SRE Teammate enables site reliability engineers, DevOps and operations teams to automate, augment and drive autonomous operations to slash incident response time by 90%.

Today’s enterprise applications are increasingly dynamic and span multiple domains. Consequently, many operations teams struggle to identify the root cause of incidents and anomalies, even when engaging hundreds of expert responders. This difficulty is largely due to an overreliance on static runbooks, dashboard-based “click operations” and siloed tooling. Furthermore, as teams incorporate AI into their applications, operational practices require modernization. Compounding these issues, while new AI tooling causes developer productivity to skyrocket, the resulting increased operational load often overwhelms already stretched SRE teams.

With these challenges in mind, Ciroos has reimagined observability operations with an AI SRE Teammate that empowers companies to initiate investigations into anomalies proactively, often before any expert is paged. The SRE Teammate uses a multi-agent system incorporating human expert-like reasoning to understand and correlate vast amounts of cross-domain interactions to identify what is — and what isn’t — a problem. Built on the recently announced Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent 2 Agent (A2A) architectures, the SRE Teammate is extensible by allowing easy integration with third-party AI agents deployed in the enterprise. By seamlessly integrating with existing observability tools, ticketing systems, collaboration software, code repositories and incident response tools, the SRE Teammate becomes an integral part of the operations team. At all times, humans are in control, choosing their desired level of augmentation and autonomous operations on their AI journeys.

“SREs carry a heavy burden — from middle-of-the-night incidents to hours of repetitive analysis and postmortems,” said Ronak Desai, co-founder and CEO of Ciroos. “We built our AI SRE Teammate to end that toil, fully embracing our mission to provide an AI SRE Teammate that empowers SREs to be superheroes. It achieves this by accelerating root cause identification, automating or augmenting actions, and ultimately giving them back the time, clarity and control so they can do what they do best: build, safeguard and evolve reliable systems at scale.”

Built by Industry Experts

Founded in February 2025 by Ronak Desai, Amit Patel and Ananda Rajagopal, Ciroos brings together executives with proven track records of scaling businesses from zero to more than $5 billion. With leadership experience in roles at Cisco, AWS and Gigamon, the founding team holds 84 patents across AI, observability, distributed systems, cloud, cybersecurity and networking. The investment will build go-to-market operations and accelerate the rollout of SRE Teammate across enterprises. The company is currently hiring AI engineers, full-stack engineers and go-to-market experts.

“Ciroos represents a transformative approach that delivers immediate and measurable impact,” said Shawn Cherian, partner at EIP. “The team’s deep domain expertise — both on the ground working with the SREs and in leadership at global enterprises — and their vision to automate, augment and drive autonomous operations make them uniquely qualified to address challenges in this emerging space.”

MIL-OSI: Varonis Announces Identity Protection to Unify Identity and Data Security
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

MIAMI, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNS), the leader in data security, today announced Varonis Identity Protection, the latest enhancement to its Data Security Platform that gives organizations unified visibility and control of data and identities.

Most identity security tools operate in a vacuum — with no understanding of the critical data each identity can access or how they’re accessing it.

Varonis connects the dots between identities and data, helping organizations automatically reduce access to their most sensitive data, fix identity posture issues, and stop identity-based threats — including those originating from insiders, stolen credentials, and AI tools and agents.

Unlike traditional identity products, Varonis understands the blast radius of every identity — showing how much data would be exposed if an identity were compromised. Varonis Identity Protection distinguishes between human and non-human identities, classifies them as internal, guest, external, or privileged, and monitors how they interact with data to detect anomalies.

“Identity and data are deeply intertwined — securing one without the other leaves dangerous gaps,” said Varonis CEO, President, and Co-Founder Yaki Faitelson. “By unifying identity and data security, Varonis gives customers the context they need to better ensure identity threats don’t become data breaches.”

Key Capabilities of Varonis Identity Protection:
- Machine Learning-Based Identity Classification: Varonis integrates with Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, and others to map user accounts across environments. Using machine learning, Varonis auto-classifies identities — tagging executives, privileged users, service accounts, non-human identities, and more.
- Peer Analysis & User Behavior Analysis: Varonis continuously analyzes peer behavior to detect anomalies in identity usage, flagging deviations from normal patterns to surface risky activity earlier.
- Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR): Varonis monitors identity providers for signs of compromise, alerting on suspicious logins, password resets, MFA changes, and policy updates — in context with each account’s data access activity.
- Identity Posture Management With Automated Remediation: Varonis flags stale contractor accounts, excessive permissions, and missing MFA — then automatically remediates risks by revoking access, removing entitlements, and eliminating ghost accounts.
Varonis was recently named a Leader in Identity Threat Detection and Response by GigaOm, recognizing the platform’s advanced detection and automated response capabilities.

These identity capabilities also enhance Varonis Managed Data Detection and Response (MDDR), enabling our expert analysts to detect and respond to a broader range of threats faster and more effectively across customer environments.

MIL-OSI: Pacific AI Joins Forces with the Coalition of Health AI as Newest Partner in Assurance Provider Certification Process
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

LEWES, Del., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacific AI, the AI governance company, today announced its operational deployment certification intent under the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI)’s assurance service provider certification process, setting a precedent for how AI models can be responsibly governed. This designation recognizes the company’s commitment to supporting the safe, effective, and responsible deployment of AI technologies in healthcare.

Assurance Services are designed to accelerate the adoption of AI models in healthcare by providing tools and frameworks that ensure compliance with industry best practices. CHAI has developed a rigorous certification framework grounded in consensus-driven standards that emphasize transparency, trustworthiness, and accountability in AI applications.

Pacific AI will work with CHAI to establish a governance framework and serve as a CHAI Certified Assurance Service Provider as that framework is finalized later this year. Once certified, Pacific AI will provide:
- AI Governance Policies that conform to CHAI guidelines and reflect current laws, regulations, and industry standards. These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to keep pace with the rapidly evolving regulatory environment of healthcare AI.
- AI Governance Tools and Software that streamline adherence to AI governance requirements and enable healthcare organizations to accelerate the responsible adoption of AI technologies.
Assurance Service Providers play a vital role in establishing trust by offering transparency into how AI models perform in real-world environments. While these services are not part of any formal government regulatory process, they are crucial in filling critical gaps in the AI evaluation pipeline. This helps users and beneficiaries better understand the reliability and context-specific performance of AI solutions.

“As we advance our mission to enable responsible, trustworthy AI, this is one of the first of many collaborations where CHAI-certified service providers and health institutions will work together to ensure AI serves all patients,” said Dr. Brian Anderson, CEO of CHAI. “We’re proud to see Pacific AI lead the way in streamlining product evaluation and facilitating simpler comparisons during health AI procurement for both health systems and solution providers.”

“Working with CHAI to develop governance and eventually formal certification demonstrates alignment in our shared mission of advancing the responsible deployment and oversight of AI in healthcare,” said David Talby, CEO of Pacific AI. “We’re proud to be part of the trusted ecosystem helping to ensure AI delivers on its promise responsibly.”

Pacific AI meets the highest standards for ethical and secure AI validation and is committed to working with CHAI on this governance framework, which includes provisions for privacy, security, data quality, intellectual property protection, conflict of interest management, and conformance with established CHAI standards, such as the CHAI model card.

It aims to ensure high-quality care, foster trust among users, and meet the growing healthcare needs.

MIL-OSI: Albion Crown VCT PLC: Interim Management Statement

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Albion Crown VCT PLC
Interim Management Statement
LEI Code: 213800SYIQPA3L3T1Q68

Introduction
I present Albion Crown VCT PLC (the “Company”)’s interim management statement for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025.

The Company completed the merger with Albion Venture Capital Trust PLC (AAVC) in December 2024 which created a new C share class (CRWC). The C share class (CRWC) will convert into ordinary shares (CRWN) on a relative Net Asset Value basis as at 30 June 2026, which is expected to complete in November 2026.

Performance and dividends

Ordinary shares
The ordinary shares unaudited net asset value (NAV) as at 31 March 2025 was £113.7 million or 31.35 pence per ordinary share, an increase of 0.18 pence per ordinary share (0.58%) since 31 December 2024.

After accounting for the dividend of 0.78 pence per ordinary share, paid on 30 April 2025 to shareholders on the register on 11 April 2025, the NAV is 30.57 pence per ordinary share.

C Shares
The C shares unaudited NAV as at 31 March 2025 was £57.9 million or 43.15 pence per C share, a decrease of 0.12 pence per C share (0.27%) since 31 December 2024.

After accounting for the dividend of 1.08 pence per C share, paid on 30 April 2025 to shareholders on the register on 11 April 2025, the NAV is 42.07 pence per C share.

Fundraising
A prospectus Top Up Offer of new ordinary shares opened to applications on 6 January 2025. On 31 March 2025, the Board announced that it had reached its £30 million limit (inclusive of a £10 million over-allotment facility which had been exercised) and therefore had closed to further applications.

During the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025, the Company issued the following ordinary shares under the Albion VCTs Top Up Offers:

Date	Number of ordinary shares issued	Issue price per ordinary share	Net consideration received (£’000)
21 March 2025	65,583,583	31.81 to 32.14 pence	20,446

Portfolio
As noted in the Half-yearly Financial Report for the six months to 31 December 2024, after reviewing detailed cash flow forecasts, the Board agreed with the Manager that the current investment focus for the C share class will be on supporting existing portfolio companies and not to make further new investments. This is to ensure that the C share class has sufficient cash resources for follow-on investments, dividends and share buybacks.

The following investments have been made during the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025:

IMD warns of heavy rain in Northeast, thunderstorms in Northwest, and heat waves in East India

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather forecast predicting significant weather events across India over the next few days, including heavy rainfall in the Northeast, thunderstorms in the Northwest, and heat wave conditions in parts of East India.

The IMD has warned of continued heavy to very heavy rainfall over Northeastern states, including Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura, until June 5, with a decrease in intensity thereafter. Isolated very heavy rainfall is expected in Assam and Meghalaya on June 3 and 4, and in Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura on June 3. Light to moderate rainfall is likely to persist across the region for the next seven days, driven by an upper air cyclonic circulation over east Bihar and a north-south trough along Longitude 92°E.

Northwest India, including Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan, is expected to experience light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds (40-50 kmph) on June 3 and 4. This weather is attributed to a western disturbance seen as a cyclonic circulation over Punjab, along with upper air cyclonic circulations over Haryana and northwest Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, isolated hailstorms were reported in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, and dust storms were observed in Rajasthan over the past 24 hours.

Heat wave conditions are likely to persist over Gangetic West Bengal on June 3 and 4, and over Odisha from June 3 to 6. The IMD has urged residents to take precautions amid rising temperatures in these regions.

The Southwest Monsoon’s northern limit continues to pass through key coordinates, including Mumbai, Ahilyanagar, Adilabad, Bhawanipatna, Puri, and Balurghat, indicating steady progress. The monsoon’s advance is expected to influence weather patterns across the country.

Over the past 24 hours until 8:30 AM IST on June 3, heavy rainfall was recorded at isolated places in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Gujarat, and East Rajasthan. Thunderstorms with squally winds (70-100 kmph) were reported in Bihar, while gusty winds (40-70 kmph) occurred in several states, including Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, and others. Hailstorms and dust storms were also observed in parts of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan.

The IMD advises residents to stay updated with local weather warnings and take necessary precautions.
