    Kane Williamson and Michael Bracewell will skip the upcoming two-test tour of Zimbabwe with the blessing of New Zealand Cricket, while paceman Ben Sears has been ruled out by a side injury.

    Rob Walter, who replaced Gary Stead as coach last month, named his first test squad on Tuesday, awarding a call-up to uncapped young fast bowler Matt Fisher and recalling experienced hands Ajaz Patel and Henry Nicholls.

    “Kane and Michael were up front with New Zealand Cricket about their availability for this tour during the contracting process,” Walter said in a news release.

    “While all test matches are hugely special and important, the fact these tests aren’t part of the World Test Championship did influence the discussions on this occasion.

    “We will obviously miss their talent and class, but it allows an opportunity to others and we’re lucky to be able to call on the likes of Ajaz and Henry who are both proven performers at test level.”

    All-rounder Bracewell has been allowed to miss the tour to play in The Hundred in England, while paceman Kyle Jamieson has elected to stay in New Zealand for the birth of his first child.

    Jamieson’s absence offers potential opportunities for Fisher and Jacob Duffy, who has played short-format matches for New Zealand but is yet to win a test cap, in the two matches in Bulawayo in late July and early August.

  • MIL-OSI China: Vast pair-up program powers modern makeover of NW China’s Xinjiang

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

    Inside a brand-new workshop at a buzzing textile factory in Hotan, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Zulaya Tursuntohti deftly handled the whirring spinning frames to produce fine cotton threads. Just months ago, this job, and her 3,500-yuan (about 489 U.S. dollars) monthly paycheck, did not exist.

    Hundreds of kilometers away, meanwhile, in Kashgar’s saline wastelands, farmer Turghun Yasen marveled at seedlings of silage corn springing up from once-barren soil.

    These snapshots reveal glimpses of the quiet engine powering China’s vast western region, namely a pair-up program where 18 provincial-level regions and the southern Chinese tech hub of Shenzhen have been creating jobs, improving skills and promoting unity in this northwestern frontier of the country.

    China has been implementing the “pairing assistance” program in Xinjiang since 1997. In 2010, a new round of pairing assistance was launched, involving central and state organs, centrally administered state-owned enterprises, and 18 provinces, municipalities and the city of Shenzhen.

    This cross-regional endeavor, which sees those involved channeling 80 percent of their annual assistance funds to county-level and grassroots projects dedicated to livelihood improvement, has become a national strategy vital for prosperity and stability in economic backwaters.

    Seeding self-sufficiency 

    “Providing money is good, but building a solid industry is better,” said a veteran aid official, capturing the essence of pairing assistance for Xinjiang — transitioning from dependency on external support to fostering endogenous growth momentum.

    Although Xinjiang is a major cotton-producing region known for its high-quality cotton, its textile industry faces several challenges due to its weak technological capacity and limited industrial upgrading.

    When the Beijing assistance team invited a Guangdong-based textile industrial internet company to Hotan last August, they brought more than just machinery. The company from south China instead fostered an integrated supply ecosystem, spanning e-commerce, fabric weaving and dyeing, as well as facilitating high-quality fashion garment production.

    Tursuntohti is among some 700 new employees for the first phase of the project. “I saw the job posting in February and decided to apply,” she said. Once fully operational, the project is expected to create more than 3,000 jobs, support over 200 apparel firms, and boost regional industrial output by more than 3 billion yuan annually, Huang Haoming, executive of the project, revealed.

    In 2024, the region’s cotton and textile industry had generated an output value of 220 billion yuan and provided jobs for over 1 million people.

    Meanwhile, agricultural scientists have targeted Kashgar’s highly saline-alkali wasteland. Faced with a desolate landscape, they introduced customized soil treatments — which have resulted in 200 mu (approximately 13.3 hectares) of silage corn springing to life via a seedling success rate of 95 percent, proving a lifeline for farmers like Yasen.

    “We used to watch seedlings die, but now our green fields yield corn, and we can even plant winter wheat to enrich the soil,” he said.

    Ren Gengpo, a member of Shanghai’s assistance team who currently serves as deputy director of Kashgar’s bureau of industry and information technology, credited 29,000 local jobs to such locally-grounded projects capitalizing on regional strengths, including a “Chief Service Officer” system matching coastal expertise to Xinjiang’s resources.

    “More locals are securing steady jobs right in their neighborhoods,” Ren noted.

    Nurturing homegrown talent 

    At the remote county hospital of Habahe in Xinjiang’s Altay Prefecture, orthopedic scans now reveal fractures in precise 3D detail, while high-resolution color ultrasound makes for clearer and more intuitive diagnosis of pediatric conditions.

    “Smart diagnosis facilitates real-time data sharing between doctors, thus enabling cross-regional diagnosis that enhances medical care accessibility, upskills local clinicians, and cuts patient costs,” said Zhang Jing, a medical assistance practitioner from Jilin Province in northeast China, whose team has delivered many intelligent medical equipment items.

    Xinjiang’s development has long benefited from nationwide talent exchange endeavors. Today, notably, digital tools are transforming traditional aid models into scalable, tech-driven partnerships.

    When an aid team from east China’s Hangzhou, the country’s e-commerce, livestreaming, fintech and AI heartland, noticed youth in Aksu in Xinjiang hawking fruit on social media, they built an e-commerce incubator and partnered with top multi-channel network (MCN) agencies to train local talent.

    Mirzat Kamil, who returned home after seeing that many there were selling farm goods via live-streaming, joined the “Dandelion Project,” which enabled him to learn digital marketing skills and become a top regional e-commerce influencer within a year. “These training programs opened new doors for me,” he said.

    “Local e-commerce talents like Kamil are planting seeds of prosperity across our region,” said Yang Zhe, Aksu’s e-commerce director. With Hangzhou’s support, Aksu has partnered with Alibaba and social e-commerce firm Yowant Technology to launch training programs. By 2024, more than 9,500 professionals had been trained — creating 30,000 jobs.

    Even classrooms have been transformed via “teacher studios.” Ni Yuan, a teacher from Tianjin Municipality in north China, who was posted to the first primary school of Qira County in Hotan to serve as its deputy principal, mentored local teachers like Sadinisa Abdulla while also launching art programs.

    “She raised our teaching quality through professional excellence,” Abdulla noted. “We’ve learned a lot from her.”

    Over the past five years, teachers in Xinjiang have received training on a total of more than 200,000 occasions.

    Henan Province in central China also deserves a mention here, having deployed scientists and engineers across multiple sectors, while providing skills training for more than 78,000 people in fields such as logistics and law.

    Weaving stronger bonds 

    In recent years, partnerships between Xinjiang and supporting provinces and cities have expanded from government projects to business and cultural exchanges. Beyond bricks, mortar and jobs, the pair-up program has strengthened ethnic unity — with all ethnic groups striving together like pomegranate seeds.

    When Abudushuqur Nurahmat, a middle school student from Kashgar’s Yecheng County, joined a study trip to Beijing last summer, Tian’anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other places he’d only seen in textbooks came to life in vivid detail. “Watching the flag-raising at Tian’anmen Square made me feel incredibly proud,” he recalled.

    Since 2023, provinces and cities supporting Xinjiang have organized tens of thousands of local residents and youth from various ethnic groups to visit historical sites and top universities across China.

    Grassroots bonds have also flourished. Tianjin schools partnered with Hotan counties, Jiangxi in east China hosted football exchanges for ethnic minority juveniles from Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture of Kizilsu, while Henan built 100 libraries in Hami honoring national role model Jiao Yulu, a county cadre known for his selfless devotion to the people.

    In addition to such cultural exchanges, improved logistics have also helped to strengthen daily connections. At a Xinjiang product exhibition and sales center in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in south China, premium Xinjiang goods like walnuts, fruits and mutton flew off shelves. Meanwhile, in Kashgar, located 5,000 km away, customers can easily order Cantonese dishes, appliances and clothing online through the same cross-regional trade platform.

    Supporting provinces and cities have even pooled resources beyond assigned pairings. Musicians of the Cixi Celadon Ou Music Troupe from east China’s Zhejiang Province performed ancient melodies in Beijing-supported Hotan this June, an artistic bridge thrilling locals like Ibrahim Hamit. “The show was both an artistic treat and a profound experience of China’s rich cultural diversity,” he said, while adding that he was hoping for more such exchanges.

    Shandong Province, in east China, landed a 300,000-tonne titanium dioxide project in Shanghai-supported Bachu County, while Jiangsu, also in east China, paired with Ili in northern Xinjiang and helped launch 21 textile enterprises in southern Xinjiang. This innovative collaboration model combines funding, technology and expertise from supporting provinces with Xinjiang’s resources and policies — creating mutual benefits.

    “We’re helping Xinjiang grow its own future,” said a veteran aid official.

  • MIL-OSI China: Szczesny pens contract extension with Barcelona

    Wojciech Szczesny has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at FC Barcelona until the end of June 2027, the club announced on Monday.

    The news means the 35-year-old remains part of the Barcelona squad after his previous deal expired at the end of June.

    The former Arsenal, Juventus and Roma goalkeeper came out of retirement to join Barcelona early last season after Marc-Andre ter Stegen tore his cruciate knee ligament, leaving Inaki Pena as the only fit goalkeeper in the Barca squad.

    Although he needed time to get fully match fit, Szczesny made his debut in the Copa del Rey third round tie away to lower league Barbastro on January 4 and quickly established himself as first choice, finishing the season with 2,726 minutes in 30 games, playing a key role in Barca’s La Liga and Copa del Rey double.

    Szczesny has signed his new contract despite Barcelona paying the release clause of Espanyol’s highly rated goalkeeper Joan Garcia early this summer and Ter Stegen completing his recovery at the end of last season.

    Sport officials, regardless of which code they supervise, are appointed to be impartial figures.

    They have to quickly interpret infractions, adjudicate rules and communicate commands, all while maintaining the highest levels of objectivity and sense – not to mention the fitness required.

    So, what does it take to become a sport official at the elite level, such as NRL referees or AFL umpires?

    And why do so many sports fans think these officials are at fault when their team keeps getting penalised?

    1 in 5 community footy umpires have been assaulted, while others cop death threats: new research

    It’s harder than you think

    Recently, there were calls for Ashley Klein to be stripped of officiating duties for the third and final rugby league State of Origin clash after NRL commentators queried a one-sided penalty count in the Maroons’ favour during game two in Perth.

    Likewise, the AFL recently faced criticism when video evidence revealed Collingwood’s Lachie Schultz had suffered a concussion, but the umpires in charge failed to stop play immediately, as they should have.

    Every week, fans also voice their displeasure at perceived injustices, whether that be at the ground, watching on TV or venting on social media.

    However, very few people fully understand the complexity or intricacies of what it takes to perform a sport official’s role, particularly at the elite level.

    Elite officials must have detailed rule knowledge, incredible physical and mental fitness and be composed regardless of crowd pressure. They must be able to instantly move on from any mistakes made.

    They also need situational awareness and a level of calmness to effectively supervise two groups of competitors fiercely battling against each other in these highly charged environments.

    Figuratively speaking, this can be like emergency department (ED) doctors or air traffic controllers, who are required to manage multiple events and competing task demands in a calm and consistent manner.

    Even though elite officials don’t work continuously for long hours like ED doctors or pilots – the total playing time of most of our winter sporting codes is generally between 90-120 minutes – the level of concentration, composure and mental toughness required is immense.

    Making good decisions when both players and the ball are constantly shifting position also requires exceptional game understanding and an ability to convey decisions that are appropriate to the game context.

    In other words, elite referees operate in situations in which time pressure, stress and high risk decision-making are always present.

    So who would want to perform a role where coaches, fans and some sections of the media continually question your knowledge, integrity and skills?

    Professional or part-time?

    Currently, of Australia’s major winter codes, only the NRL has a full quota of referees who are full time, paid professionals.

    Soccer’s A-League has a small group of full-time officials and an impressive number of top officials are part of FIFA’s panel of international referees. Yet, most A-League referees are part-time operators.

    Similarly, Rugby Australia has a small team of full-time professional referees who are appointed to Super League games and international matches not involving Australia, but most are part-timers.

    In the AFL, most umpires work part-time, with pressure mounting on the league to transition its umpires into full-time positions as ongoing criticisms over controversial decisions continue to grow.

    What elite officials get paid can be shrouded in secrecy but AFL field umpires reportedly earn A$120–130,000 each year while the best NRL referees earn more than $300,000 each season.

    Current pathways into the top level for most sporting codes require extensive apprenticeships in lower grades.

    To reach those top pay levels, extensive on-field experience in lower grades is required. Those who stand out are selected in high-performance squads where specialist coaching is provided.

    An often thankless task

    So, do you think you have what it takes to be an elite sports official?

    Could you maintain an optimal level of physical and cognitive performance while running at high speeds when you know every decision you make can be reviewed by video technology and re-watched in slow motion at one 25th of a second?

    It might be good to remember most decisions in sport are not black and white.

    Referees are human. They make mistakes. Sometimes they have to follow a policy or refereeing method they might not agree with.

    However, what we need to remember before we shout at them during a game is elite officials are trying to make games as fair, open, free flowing and entertaining as possible as they strive to impartially apply the rules of the game.

    Men’s top seed Jannik Sinner advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals under unfortunate circumstances on Monday after Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire due to right pectoral injury while leading their fourth-round clash by two sets.

    Dimitrov was ahead 6-3, 7-5, 2-2 when he fell to the court following an ace. The visibly emotional Bulgarian, unable to lift his right arm, was forced to retire, handing Sinner passage to the next round.

    Sinner will now face American Ben Shelton, who advanced with a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 win over Lorenzo Sonego.

    “I don’t take this as a win at all, this is just an unfortunate moment for us to witness,” Sinner said following the match.

    “He has struggled in Grand Slams with injuries a lot, so seeing him again with this injury is very tough. We all saw by his reaction how much he cares about the sport and he is one of the hardest working players on tour,” the Italian said.

    “This is not the end we wanted to see and it’s very sad,” he added.

    Elsewhere, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic rallied from a set down to defeat Australia’s Alex de Minaur 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The Serbian star will meet Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in the quarterfinals after Cobolli ousted Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3).

    In the women’s draw, Iga Swiatek’s pursuit of a maiden Wimbledon title continued as she eased past Denmark’s Clara Tauson 6-4, 6-1 to reach the quarterfinals for the second time. The Polish eighth seed will next face Liudmila Samsonova.

    Teenager Mirra Andreeva reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 win over Emma Navarro. The 18-year-old will play against Belinda Bencic, who advanced with a 7-6 (4), 6-4 victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova.

    China’s men’s football team suffered a 3-0 defeat to hosts South Korea in their opening match of the 2025 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, also known as the East Asian Cup on Monday.

    South Korea dominated throughout the match, continuously stretching China’s defense with their efficient passing, possession play and changes of tempo. In the eighth minute, South Korea’s Lee Dong-gyeong opened the scoring with a powerful left-footed strike from outside the box. In the 21st minute, Joo Min-kyu doubled the lead with a header, giving South Korea a 2-0 advantage at halftime.

    After the break, China managed to regain some attacking momentum. However, in the 57th minute, Kim Ju-sung sealed the victory for South Korea by firing home from close range after a corner kick to make it 3-0.

    Under caretaker manager Dejan Djurdjevic, the Chinese team fielded several young players in this tournament. Among them, 2006-born youngsters Kuai Jiwen and Wang Yudong were named in the starting lineup.

    Djurdjevic said after the match that he had tried to implement some changes, especially at the start of the match, but facing such a strong opponent proved very challenging.

    “They (South Korea) scored early and played very smoothly, which put us under a lot of pressure,” Djurdjevic said. He admitted that his team didn’t perform well enough but he still appreciated all players’ efforts on the pitch.

    He said that it was normal to be restricted by such a strong team like South Korea. “This just isn’t the right time for an in-depth analysis of the game. We need to make sure our players are ready and in better conditions for the upcoming matches,” he added. “Some players were unable to take part in this match due to injuries, so we had to make the best use of the squad we had.”

    He acknowledged that South Korea fully deserved their win, as they were obviously the stronger side overall. “We might have performed slightly better in the second half, but that’s probably because our opponents relaxed a bit and slowed their tempo after taking the lead.”

    The East Asian Cup is being held from July 7th to 16th in Suwon and Yongin of South Korea’s Gyeonggi Province, with four men’s teams participating: China, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, China. China is scheduled to play against Japan on Saturday.

    French qualifier Lilian Bardet stunned fourth seed Liang Jingkun of China in a five-game thriller in the men’s singles first round of the World Table Tennis (WTT) United States Smash in Las Vegas on Sunday.

    World No. 5 Liang twice held the lead but was unable to close out the match, falling 5-11, 11-8, 8-11, 11-8, 11-5 to the 85th-ranked Frenchman.

    Liang’s teammate Chen Yuanyu also exited early, suffering an 11-7, 11-8, 11-13, 12-10 defeat to England’s Liam Pitchford.

    Their losses leave world champion Wang Chuqin as the only Chinese player remaining in the bottom half of the men’s draw.

    Wang, who claimed his first major singles title at the World Championships in Doha this May, defeated Romania’s Iulian Chirita 3-1 and will next face Kao Cheng-jui of Chinese Taipei in the second round.

    “Chirita posed a huge challenge to me, but I managed to make adjustment when trailing in the second game and snatch some crucial points,” said Wang.

    Top names including Felix Lebrun, Darko Jorgic and Qiu Dang also advanced to the round of 32.

    In the women’s draw, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha edged Australia’s Liu Yangzi in a full-distance battle, 11-7, 6-11, 11-4, 4-11, 11-4.

    “In my first match here, I was not quite focused on the game,” admitted Sun. “In the opening stages of the second and fourth games, I could not catch up with the opponent on the scoreline. Finally, I got my concentration back in the deciding game.”

    Facing Sun, Liu said she was like playing against AI as “she can solve everything.”

    Chen Xingtong overcame He Zhuojia in a five-game all-Chinese clash and was joined in the second round by compatriots Chen Yi and Kuai Man.

    Japanese stars Miwa Harimoto and Hina Hayata also progressed to the last 32.

    The WTT United States Smash runs through July 13.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The III International Scientific Physics Olympiad (ISPhO-2025) has ended in Khanty-Mansiysk

    The III International Scientific Physics Olympiad (ISPhO-2025) has ended in Khanty-Mansiysk. The Russian national team repeated the success of 2024 and once again won the Grand Prix of the tournament. Russian schoolchildren received five medals and showed an absolute result, confirming their status as one of the strongest teams in the world. The organizers of the Olympiad were the Ministry of Education of Russia, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and the government of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov congratulated the children on their success.

    “President Vladimir Putin recently said that it is with the participation of talented, passionate people that we will make a colossal step forward. The team of Russian schoolchildren became one of the strongest at the International Scientific Olympiad in Physics. We are proud of the medalists and thank their teachers, mentors and parents for their support and solid knowledge,” noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

    Gold medals were awarded to:

    § Seraphim Bunin, Phystech Lyceum named after P.L. Kapitsa, Dolgoprudny, Moscow region;

    § Denis Romanov, Phystech Lyceum named after P.L. Kapitsa, Dolgoprudny, Moscow region;

    § Anton Toroshchin, Phystech Lyceum named after P.L. Kapitsa, Dolgoprudny, Moscow region.

    Silver awards were received by:

    § Alena Reznikova, Lyceum “Second School” named after V.F. Ovchinnikov, Moscow;

    § Vadim Rybakov, Presidential Physics and Mathematics Lyceum No. 239, St. Petersburg.

    “You have not only demonstrated deep knowledge of the subject and the ability to solve complex problems, but also confirmed the leading position of the Russian physics school on the world stage. In a fair competition with the strongest peers from more than 20 countries, you have shown that Russian education gives the opportunity not only to test your skills, meet like-minded people, but also to take the first serious steps in science. I am sure that your victories are only the beginning of a long scientific path,” Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov addressed the children.

    The head of the Russian Ministry of Education addressed special words of gratitude to teachers and coaches – their professionalism and dedication to the cause allowed schoolchildren to win the highest awards. Separately, Sergey Kravtsov noted the high level of the international intellectual tournament.

    This year, the following took part in the Olympiad:HTTPS: //ed.gov.ru/Press/10090/v-yugra-START-SUNNER-Scientific-FISIC-OLIMPIADA/) high school students from more than 20 countries, including teams from the CIS, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. The tournament was held in a mixed format: 11 teams came to the capital of Yugra, and participants from 12 foreign countries solved the tasks remotely.

    The Russian national team has won the highest award of the Olympiad – the ISPhO Grand Prix Cup – for the third year in a row. The tournament table is formed based on the sum of points of the participants of the national teams. The result of the Russian physicists was twice as high as the bronze medalists. In the individual standings, the Russian schoolchildren won three gold and two silver medals.

    According to the results of the Olympics, the gold in the team standings went to the Kazakhstan team, the silver went to the Belarus team, and the bronze went to the Malaysia team.

    In accordance with the regulations, separate results of the theoretical and experimental rounds were summed up. The best result in theory was shown by a participant from Israel. Russian schoolboy Denis Romanov (Physical and Technical Lyceum named after P.L. Kapitsa, Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region), who received the maximum score, was noted for the best result in the experiment.

    After the completion of the Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, eight national teams will go to special training camps, which are organized at the MIPT base in Dolgoprudny. The guys will undergo an intensive training program under the guidance of leading Russian specialists.

    Leaving it on the ice

    One by one, the athletes skated their routines to boisterous applause. And, one by one, the medal results rolled in.

    Beth Allen: Silver medal!
    Cody Wheatley: Gold medal!
    Deeb Habchi: Gold medal!

    As soon as she hit the ice, Cori instinctively felt she was going to crush it. “Right away, I knew that this was it—my dream coming true,” she says. Cori’s mom, Karalee, also felt the full-circle significance of it all. “To see her work for 20 years and achieve everything she wanted—from perfecting her routine to designing her dress—I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotional in my life.”

    By giving it their all, Beth, Cody, Deeb, and Cori proved what’s possible when everyone gets a fair shot. That with hard work, ambition, and the right support, no dream is too big. Heidi believes tools like Copilot will continue to amplify this potential.

  • MIL-Evening Report: How can you keep kids off screens during the winter holidays?

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Victoria Minson, Senior Lecturer in Early Childhood Education, Australian Catholic University

    Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Children’s Games, 1560. ©KHM-Museumsverband, CC BY-NC

    The winter school holidays can be a tricky time for families. Parents are often juggling work and chilly conditions make it easy for kids to end up on the couch with multiple devices.

    What other activities can you try? And how can you encourage the kids to move without it seeming like a massive chore or a punishment for everyone?

    Here are some ideas for younger and older primary school children.

    We know kids aren’t active enough

    Many children aren’t as active as they need to be. Australian kids scored a D- on a 2022 report card on physical activity. Less than a quarter of children and young people met the guidelines of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day.

    Meanwhile, we know excessive screen use is one of the top health concerns Australian parents have about their children.

    What can you do for 5 to 8-year-olds?

    In his 1560 painting Children’s Games, Pieter Bruegel depicts more than 80 of childhood games and play outside. This includes playing with balls, swinging, climbing a tree and imaginary games.

    Many of these ideas still work today. So just like the children in Bruegel’s picture, embrace the outdoors. Remember it’s OK to get a bit wet or a bit muddy (even though, yes, this does mean more washing).

    Think about going on an adventure to the city, cafe, library, or museum or simply finding local puddles to splash in. A change of scenery can do wonders for cabin fever.

    Trips to the park or other nearby nature spots are also important. Research shows playing in green spaces improves children’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

    Need more toys?

    If you feel your toy cupboard is looking overly familiar, try a local Toy Library to borrow puzzles, board games and activities. Alternatively, arrange a toy swap with a trusted neighbour or friend.

    Don’t underestimate the joy and novelty in doing the basic or everyday tasks but with more time, over the holidays. Cooking, baking, sending cards, writing letters and reading a book together are all excellent ways to connect and build memories.

    You could also ask the kids to go and make an art exhibition or practise for a home dance or music concert while you make a cup or tea.

    What about older primary kids?

    Older children love to create, work together and connect with their peers.

    So you could encourage your child or children to channel popular YouTubers and gamers by creating physical challenges at home, for example: a home holiday Olympics, safe Ninja-style circuit or obstacle course.

    Or you could turn everyday chores into “missions” that earn rewards like having their favourite meal or a shopping trip.

    Keep moving

    You could break up sitting time by making TikTok style dances or doing physically challenges (how many star jumps can you do in a minute?) as often as possible.

    If you have wearable tech, such as smart watches, you can track time spent being active. Set up a friendly competition for steps while playing with pets, cleaning up or dancing around the house.

    A 2022 Australian study suggests the “break up your sitting” approach may result in children being more active than a simple “move more” message.

    Also think about screen time that gets kids moving – such as sports-based games. Research shows the energy expended during active gaming is equivalent to a brisk walk. Not all screen time has to be sedentary.

    Try a whole day ‘unplugged’

    You could try a whole day without devices – this shows children it is possible!

    Consider giving the kids more decision-making powers on these days: they could pick (and hopefully) make their meals, have a friend over, decide what games to play or what art and craft to make.

    The winter holidays are a good time to set new active habits that won’t only help now, but will set the tone for the spring and longer summer breaks ahead.

    Victoria Minson is the Course Coordinator for the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth to Five Years) (Accelerated) at Australian Catholic University. The Victorian offering of the course has received funding from the Victorian government and Victorian Department of Education. Victoria also receives funding from the Australian Research Council.

    Amanda Telford has previously received funding from the ARC and NHMRC.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Aviemore among dozens of Scottish locations to see more people on bikes

    Source: Scotland – Highland Council

    Issued in partnership with Cycle Scotland

    • B9152 road between Aviemore and Carrbridge, saw 53% growth in the number of people cycling over the first three months of 2025 vs the same period in 2024
    • Peaks in cycling around morning and evening commuting times, indicating people are travelling by bike for everyday journeys –

    Aviemore resident Sally Devlin riding her bike

    National cycle counter data has revealed growth in the number of people travelling by bike in Aviemore. It’s among 34 locations across Scotland seeing increases of over 30% in the number of cycle journeys in winter 2024-25 compared with the previous year.

    The B9152 road in the north of Aviemore saw 1,469 cycle journeys in January, February and March 2025, compared to 963 cycle journeys in the same period in 2024 – a 53% increase. Future improvements are planned for this location, with a 9km dedicated off-road route for walking, wheeling and cycling to be built during A9 dualling works. This will provide a safer, more direct link between Aviemore and Carrbridge, linking up with existing routes in the area.

    In addition to the growth in cycling, peaks at morning and evening commuting times indicate that people in and around Aviemore are predominantly travelling by bike for everyday journeys, like commuting to and from work.

    Significant year-on-year increases in cycling were observed at urban and rural locations in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Clackmannanshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands, Inverclyde, Moray, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Perth and Kinross, South Lanarkshire and Stirling.

    Data was captured through the nationwide network of more than 800 automatic cycle counters managed by local authorities and partner organisations, and analysed by Cycling Scotland, Scotland’s national cycling charity.

    Convener of The Highland Council and Badenoch & Strathspey Councillor, Bill Lobban said: “We are encouraged by the growing levels of cycling in Aviemore, which reflect both local enthusiasm and a wider shift towards healthier and more sustainable travel choices. Aviemore’s unique location within the Cairngorms National Park makes it an ideal setting for active travel, and it’s clear from the statistics that residents and visitors alike are embracing cycling for both recreation and everyday journeys.

    “The Council remains committed to supporting this momentum through investment in safe, accessible infrastructure and we will continue working alongside our partners the Cairngorms National Park Authority, Transport Scotland and local communities to deliver infrastructure that makes cycling safer, easier, and more attractive for everyone.”

    Sally Devlin who lives in Aviemore and cycles to work each day, said: “It can often be, if not always, quicker to travel around Aviemore by bike. We have a good network of smooth off-road trails and quiet roads off the main street which means you get to your destination quicker, enjoy nature and stay away from traffic when getting from A to B. I no longer drive to work, and even though it’s just a five-minute cycle you feel so much better for getting outside, and a happy team means happy customers.”

    “Recently the speed limit through Aviemore was reduced to 20mph, and I find this makes riding on the road a much easier and more pleasant experience. I’ve also seen an increase in local businesses supporting cycling in terms of secure bike storage and encouragement of making journeys by bike. I hope the more people that see people like me and my colleagues making utility journeys by bike, the more who will give it a go.”

    Nick Montgomery, Monitoring and Development Manager at Cycling Scotland, said: “To see significant winter to winter increases in cycling is very promising, especially as the growth is close to locations that have seen improvements for cycling in recent years. The peaks in cycling recorded during morning and evening rush hours also show that people are using these routes to get around by bike for everyday journeys, such as travelling to and from work.”

    “What we see from the data is that where local authorities are investing in protected cycle lanes and improved networks of cycling routes, there are big increases in people travelling by bike. Future improvements would support even more people to benefit from cycling as a healthy, affordable, and environmentally friendly way of getting around.”

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Wimbledon and British Open competitors aren’t the only ones at risk of these common elbow injuries

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Dan Baumgardt, Senior Lecturer, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience, University of Bristol

    Even those who don’t play sports are at risk of tennis elbow. didesign021/ Shutterstock

    Professional athletes from around the world spend years training to compete in some of the UK’s biggest summer sporting tournaments: Wimbledon and the British Open. But not all tournament hopefuls will make it to the finals — and some may even be forced to drop out due to a variety of sporting injuries, from torn anterior cruciates to strained shoulders.

    Their elbows are at risk too. In fact, two of the most common reasons for elbow pain relate to sporting injuries — the aptly named (and dreaded) tennis and golfer’s elbow.

    But it isn’t just professional athletes who are at risk of developing these common elbow injuries. Even those of us sitting on the sidelines or watching from our couches can find ourselves struck down by them – even if we don’t participate in either of these sports.

    In general practice, we see patients with elbow conditions fairly frequently. Elbows can become swollen as a result of repetitive strain, gout and can be fractured by a fall.

    Tennis and golfer’s elbow are also common reasons people visit their GP. Both share root causes, arising from inflammation and degeneration of the forearm tendons, which attach either side of the elbow. These typically cause pain on the sides of the joint, which can radiate down the affected side toward the wrist. Establishing which side is injured is crucial to diagnosis.

    The reason these conditions are associated with sports is because of the actions that are typical when playing them – the same actions which can result in injury.

    Take tennis and one of its killer moves: a lethal backhand stroke, which was part of the tournament-winning arsenal of champions such as Roger Federer, Justine Henin and Stan Wawrinka. Tennis elbow seems to be more strongly associated with the one-handed backhand, affecting the outer side of the elbow.

    The cause of tennis elbow can be pinpointed to a poor technique in the backhand stroke or grip. Problems with equipment, such as an incorrectly strung or a too-heavy racquet, might also exacerbate the problem.

    Notably, this problem is actually observed less frequently in professional players compared to recreational players. This is probably because of their expertise, form and access to the best equipment and physiotherapy.

    Golfer’s elbow refers to pain on the inner side, closest to the body. One action that can cause it is the golfer’s swing, where the player contracts their arm muscles to control the trajectory of the club. Doing so with poor technique or incorrect grip can irritate and damage the tendons. The golfer’s swing uses different muscles to a backhand stroke, so the injury occurs on the opposite side of the elbow.

    Both conditions have some overlapping symptoms despite affecting different tendons. For instance, some patients may note pain when using their wrist – such as turning a doorknob or shaking someone’s hand. It can be also be present at rest too – affecting other simple functions, such as using a keyboard.

    Tennis elbow is around five to ten times more common than golfer’s elbow, since these tendons are used more frequently in sport and daily life.

    Confusingly, the conditions are actually not exclusive to these sports. Some golfers can develop tennis elbow, while some tennis players can develop golfer’s elbow. This is because both games feature a combination of techniques that can affect the tendons on either side.

    Other sports that might also lead to a similar type of elbow injury include throwing sports (such as javelin), and batting or other racket sports – including baseball, cricket or squash. Weightlifting moves such as deadlifts, rows and overhead presses can also put considerable strain on the elbows too.

    Construction workers may be at particular risk of developing tennis or golfer’s elbow.

    You can even develop golfer’s or tennis elbow without taking part in either of these sports. Certain hobbies and occupations which strain or damage the tendons come into play here. Workers who are heavy lifters or use vibrating machinery, such as carpenters, sheet metal workers or pneumatic drill operators, are prime candidates.

    Treating a sore elbow

    If you develop golfer’s or tennis elbow, standard protocol is to “rice” – rest, ice, compress and elevate. Painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can also help. In many cases, symptoms resolve themselves within a few weeks.

    Depending on the severity of the injury, you may also be sent to physiotherapy or given an elbow support or splint. For really severe cases that aren’t getting better with the usual remedies, more invasive treatment is needed.

    Steroid injections into the affected area can act to reduce inflammation – but have variable effects, working better for some patients than for others.

    Autologous blood injection is a therapy where blood is taken from the patient and then re-injected into the space around the elbow. The thought behind this rather odd-sounding treatment is that the blood induces healing within the damaged tendon. The method is now undergoing a renaissance – and a variation of it, which uses platelet-rich plasma derived from the blood sample.

    Surgery is possible, too – but is generally reserved for severe, non-responsive cases or those where a clear anatomical problem (such as damaged tendons or tissue) are causing the symptoms.

    Whether or not you’re a tennis or golf pro, persistent elbow pain isn’t normal. It’s best to speak to your doctor to figure out the cause so you can get back to the court or putting green.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Tagging Bison at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park

    Source: Government of Canada regional news

    Released on July 7, 2025

    Visitors to Buffalo Pound Provincial Park can now easily see where bison are in the park through GPS technology that identifies the herd’s location and displays it on a screen in the Visitor Centre.  

    Fourteen bison have been fitted with GPS ear tags, which allows park staff to track their movements within the park, monitor the health of the herd, learn more about their grazing patterns and determine if current conservation efforts are effective. The project is a partnership between the Ministries of Parks, Culture, Sport and Agriculture.

    “The Bison at Buffalo Pound are part of the area’s history and they play a crucial role in the park’s ecosystem,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. “With this new tracking system, park staff can make sure both the bison and the land remain healthy. It will also help visitors create a deeper connection to nature and the cultural importance of these remarkable animals.”  

    Bison were first introduced back into the park in 1972. Over the years the size of the herd has fluctuated as park staff learned about grazing patterns and how much space they need. The tracking system was installed to provide better data to support herd management.

    “We often receive visitor inquiries about where the bison are in the park,” Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, Park Manager Dave Bjarnason said. “The herd lives on 250 acres of rolling hills and is not always visible from the fence line. The display helps visitors determine if they can find a spot to see them up close, and it gives us another opportunity to educate people about the bison.”  

    Saskatchewan livestock producers may also benefit from the information gathered at the park. The information will lay the groundwork for future projects about bison grazing behaviour and using technology to track livestock.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety Visits Latin America to launch UN Global Road Safety Campaign  

    Source: United Nations Economic Commission for Europe

    The United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety, Jean Todt, will visit Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia and Brazil (23-27 June), to launch the UN global campaign #MakeASafetyStatement, in partnership with JCDecaux. During his visit, he will meet with key government officials, representatives of the international community, private and public sector leaders, and representatives of civil society to promote road safety initiatives and advocate for enhanced measures. 

    This mission aligns with the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, which aims to halve road fatalities by 2030. It follows the adoption of a new UN resolution on road safety at the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Marrakech, Morocco, earlier this year (18-19February). 

    A Silent Pandemic

    Road traffic crashes claimed more than 145,000 lives across the Americas in 2021, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), representing 12% of global road fatalities that year. Road crashes remain the leading cause of death for children and young people aged 5 to 29 years old globally imposing a significant social and economic burden. According to the World Bank, the cost of road crashes represents between 3% and 6% of GDP in the region.   

    Across the Americas, deaths on the road have registered a 9.37% drop in the decade to 2021. The region’s progress is above the 5% global drop in deaths in the period but is nowhere near fast enough to meet the global goal of halving road deaths by 2030.  

    Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions in the world, making road safety a crucial component of city development strategies. This underscores the urgent need to rethink mobility and invest in road safety. 

    Solutions exist 

    The good news is that solutions exist. Strengthening law enforcement, investing in education and public transport, enhancing road infrastructure and vehicle safety, developing bicycle lanes and pedestrian pathways — especially around schools —and improving post-crash care are all part of a safe and efficient mobility system. Additionally, mobilizing political leadership is crucial to increase funding and action.  

    A 2019 report commissioned by Bloomberg Philanthropies revealed that more than 25,000 lives could be saved and over 170,000 serious injuries prevented by 2030 if United Nations (UN) vehicle safety regulations were applied by four key countries in the region—Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Brazil. 

    “Every year we lose 1.19 million lives on the world’s roads, this is equivalent to the entire population of cities like Monterrey (Mexico), Guatemala or Campinas (Brazil). This is madness, because we know how to stop this carnage. With this campaign we call for urgent action to ensure safe roads for all, everywhere on the continent,” said Jean Todt, UN Special Envoy for Road Safety.   

    Jean-Charles Decaux, Co-CEO of JCDecaux said: “At JCDecaux, we are committed to improving the quality of life for people wherever they live, work and travel, offering innovative, sustainable street furniture and services that meet cities and citizens’ expectations. This is the core of our mission and that is why we are proud to partner with the United Nations and Jean Todt, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety, to display this road safety campaign across our global media network. Following its successful rollout in over 50 countries since September 2023, the campaign’s launch in Latin America marks a key milestone, amplifying local road safety efforts and reinforcing public awareness. With our powerful and service-driven media, we are able to relay these vital prevention messages in high-impact locations, promote safe behaviour, and engage all our stakeholders around this major cause. The campaign’s positive tone, supported by international celebrities, helps inspire a new vision for public space: one that is safer, more inclusive, and more harmonious for all.” 

    #MakeASafetyStatement campaign  

    The global #MakeASafetyStatement campaign aims to promote road safety and create secure, inclusive, and sustainable streets worldwide. 

    Celebrities fronting the campaign in Latin America include football icon Ousmane Dembélé, F1 driver Charles Leclerc, tennis legend Novak Djokovic, singer and musician Kylie Minogue, motorcycle racer Marc Marquez, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and actors Patrick Dempsey and Michael Fassbender.  

    Thanks to the support of the International Olympic Committee, Latin American 2024 Olympic champions such as Juan-Manuel Celaya (Mexico, silver medal, diving), Adriana Ruano (Guatemala, gold medal, shooting women’s trap), Atheyna Bylon (Panama, silver medal, boxing), Angel Barajas (Colombia, silver medal, gymnastics), Rebecca Andrade (Brazil, gold medal, artistic gymnastics) have joined the initiative. 

    National focus 

    Mexico 

    In Mexico, 15 to 16,000 people die each year in road accidents.  This puts the fatality rate at 12.4 per 100,000 inhabitants, below the average for the Americas, and for countries such as the USA, Colombia or Brazil, but above Chile or Argentina.  The economic cost of road accidents is estimated at approximately 1.4% of GDP. 

    One third of all road deaths in Mexico are among pedestrians and motorcyclists, so protecting these vulnerable road users should be an urgent priority. It should be noted, however, that road crash statistics are very incomplete. 

    The National Law of Mobility and Road Safety of 2022 called for the adoption of the life-saving ‘safe systems’ approach that makes safety priority in all road-related policies and planning and is laid out in the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety. An exemplary amendment to Mexico’s constitution underpinned the law, making ‘mobility under the conditions of safety, accessibility, efficiency, sustainability, quality, inclusion and equality,’ a universal right for all Mexicans.  

    Although the law mandated the use of certified helmets at the federal level, most Mexican states have not yet legislated mandatory use, resulting in low compliance rates. 

    Guatemala 

    Road crashes remain a significant public health issue in Guatemala, with some 2,352 deaths registered in 2024 on the country’s roads. This brings the death rate at 12.6 per 100,000 population, as per WHO estimates.  

    Motorcycles are involved in half of the crashes and riders represent some 60% of the victims.  Road crashes happen predominantly in urban areas and among vulnerable road users. 

    In the recent period, Guatemala has made some progress in addressing road safety, both through institutional strengthening and the improvement of monitoring systems, legislative response, and intersectoral coordination. 

    Guatemala is currently a party to only 1 of the 7 core UN Road Safety legals instruments and legislation on pedestrian protection and child restraint systems remains fragmented. Helmet use is mandatory, but technical standards are not fully aligned with international best practices (e.g., UN-certified helmet standards ECE 22.05). Enforcement also remains a key challenge.  

    Guatemala currently participates in a project of the UN Road Safety Fund (UN RSF) Safe School Zones, which supports infrastructure improvements and awareness campaigns to protect children around schools. 

    Panama 

    Panama achieved a 45% reduction in road fatalities between 2016 and 2021, from 440 to 243 deaths. Its rate of 7.3 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants is the fourth lowest on the continent.  

    However, it records a very high level of people with serious injuries after a crash, with about 21 cases per death.   

    Panama is currently implementing 2 projects under the UN Road Safety Fund: Safe School Zones, aimed at reducing child fatalities near schools, and Strengthening Road Safety Legislation, aiming at aligning national laws with global best practices. Two legislative improvements are currently under discussion, on pedestrian protection and child restraints. 

    Colombia 

    Some 8,146 people died on Colombia’s in 2022, a 24% increase compared to the average from 2017 to 2019, driven by the rise in the number of motorcycles (+ over 100%)  and cars (+58%) registered between 2010 and 2022Motorcyclists represented 60% of the victims, and pedestrians 21%. The death rate is at 16 per 100,000 population (WHO), for an economic toll estimated at some 3% of GDP. 

    In recent years, through ANSV (Agencia Nacional de Seguridad Vial), the government has worked with cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali to implement urban safety plans, including developing public transport (express buses and cable cars); upgrading pedestrian infrastructure; developing safer intersections and introducing speed control zones. 

    The new Road Safety strategy (2022-2031) adopted in 2022 officially adopted the Safe System approach. 

    Colombia implements three projects financed by the UNRS, focusing on: institutional strengthening and better crash data systems; Safe and Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning; and an Awareness Campaign for Road Safety and Behavior Change addressing National media and school-based outreach initiatives. 

    Brazil 

    In Brazil, the mortality rate is 15.7 per 100,000 inhabitants.  Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists—compose around 61% of all crash fatalities. The notable rise in motorcycle-related deaths observed over recent years calls for accrued efforts to enforce the use of proper helmets – aligned with UN regulations (e.g., ECE-22.05). 

    Road safety remains a key challenges with the economic toll of road crashes estimated at some 5% of GDP.  This is one powerful reason to rethink mobility and invest in road safety. 

    The adoption of the National Road Safety Plan (2019–2028) , aiming for a 50% reduction in fatalities by 2028, marks a strong direction, and laws exist on helmet usage, child restraints, speed, drink & drug driving, mobile phone ban, etc. However, enforcement gaps remain—especially in speed and seatbelt compliance among rear passengers.   

    Mandatory inspections of vehicles exist, but several modern safety requirements (ABS, Electronic Stability Control, pedestrian protection, etc.) have not yet been made mandatory.   

    The UN RSF Project Improving Crash Prevention on Federal Highways in Brazil develops an interoperable system for road data collection and analysis, enabling effective countermeasures.

  • Wiaan Mulder hits fifth highest test score but turns down chance to go for Brian Lara’s record

    Source: Government of India (4)

    South Africa’s stand-in captain Wiaan Mulder scored the fifth highest test score of 367 not out against Zimbabwe on Monday but then declared his side’s innings despite being only 34 runs away from the record for the most runs in a test innings.

    Mulder, leading the side for the first time as a depleted team take on their neighbours in a two-test series at Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club, hit 53 boundaries (49 fours and four sixes) in his knock to see South Africa to 626-5 at lunch on the second day of the second test.

    With plenty of time still left in the test, it was expected he would bat into the second session to chase down Brian Lara’s 21-year-old record of 400 not out for the West Indies against England in Antigua but Mulder turned down the chance and declared at lunch, to put Zimbabwe into bat.

    The 27-year-old all-rounder had come in at No. 3 with South Africa on 24-2 after being put into bat on the opening day on Sunday and was 264 not out at the close as he rallied his side to finish the day on 465-4.

    He had a fortunate break when on 247 he was bowled, only for a no ball to be called as Tanaka Chivanga had overstepped.

    But the rest of Mulder’s impressive innings was chanceless as he brought up his 300 in Monday’s morning session, off 297 balls for the second fastest triple century in test cricket.

    He then passed Hashim Amla’s record test score for a South African of 311 not out against England at the Oval in 2012 and got to 350 in 324 balls before going to lunch 367 not out.

    It put him fifth in the all-time list, ahead of the likes of fellow triple centurions Gary Sobers and Donald Bradman, and behind Lara (400 not out and 375), Australian Matthew Hayden (380) and Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene, who hit 374 against South Africa in Colombo in 2006.

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Indian Sanjog Gupta has succeeded Australia’s Geoff Allardice as chief executive officer of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body said on Monday.

    Gupta previously served as CEO of JioStar Sports, taking up the job after Reliance Industries and Walt Disney’s $8.5 billion merger of their Indian media assets in November last year.

    His ICC predecessor Allardice, who was appointed CEO in November 2021 after an interim period of eight months following the suspension of Manu Sawhney, stepped down earlier this year.

    “These are exciting times for the sport as marquee events grow in stature, commercial avenues widen and opportunities such as the women’s game scale in popularity,” Gupta, who took charge on Monday, said in a statement.

    “Cricket’s inclusion in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games and the rapid acceleration of technology deployment/adoption could act as force-multipliers for the cricket movement around the world.”

    ICC chair Jay Shah said Gupta’s experience in sports broadcasting and digital strategy would be invaluable for the governing body.

    “His deep understanding of the global sports as well as M&E landscape combined with his continued curiosity about the cricket fan’s perspective and passion for technology will prove essential in our ambition to grow the game in the coming years,” he added.

    “Our goal is to move beyond traditional boundaries and establish cricket as a regular sport in the Olympics, growing its expanse across the world and deepening its roots in its core markets.”

  • MIL-OSI: Novel Digital Test Provides Revolutionary Tool to Assess Brain Chemistry

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For the first time, a study shows a digital assessment can provide a scientific measure of acetylcholine – a key brain chemical whose decline signals the progression of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. The assessment (here) can be self-administered and completed in about three minutes on internet-connected devices — with big implications for cognitive aging and dementia. The assessment was developed by Posit Science, the maker of BrainHQ brain training exercises and assessments, and examined as part of an NIH-funded study in collaboration with researchers at McGill University.

    “Currently, it’s impossible for doctors to monitor this brain chemical despite its importance because it requires expensive imaging equipment and special expertise available at few research centers,” said Dr. Henry Mahncke, CEO of Posit Science. “This breakthrough shows a new path for routine monitoring of brain health by doctors and individuals.”

    The brain’s neuromodulatory system produces brain chemicals that impact mood, learning, attention, responsiveness, and memory. Brain scientists have known for decades that the system (and its subsystems that produce various brain chemicals) operate more sluggishly (downregulate) with aging and various health conditions.

    The assessment focuses on the cholinergic system — a subsystem that produces the brain chemical acetylcholine — sometimes called the “pay attention” chemical, because it is produced when you pay attention. The production of acetylcholine is known to down regulate with normal aging, and even more severely with pre-dementia and with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).

    Cholinergic function is recognized as a key biomarker of overall brain health, regulates the ability of the brain to change (“plasticity”), and is associated with stronger cognitive performance (in sensory processing, attention, learning, memory, and executive function). Poor cholinergic function is linked to the production of plaque and tangles associated with ADRD, as well deficits in other conditions.

    Currently there is no easily accessible way to measure cholinergic function. No standardized blood test to directly measure it exists. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain imaging techniques can be used; however, this method is costly, requires specialized expertise, and exposes participants to radiation, limiting its use in clinical practice.

    “We developed a digital cognitive test to be a sensitive measure of brain health. To validate the test, we approached the researchers at The Neuro at McGill University, because it is one of a small number of places on the planet with the imaging technology to measure acetylcholine directly,” said Dr. Henry Mahncke. “In this study, they measured acetylcholine alongside cognitive performance using our assessment.”

    The imaging study enrolled 92 healthy older adults (average age 72). Each was measured using: a BrainHQ assessment (Double Decision); two other validated neuropsychological assessments; and a PET scan using tracer to evaluate cholinergic neurotransmission.

    The study showed better scores on the Double Decision assessment correlated with higher cholinergic function, indicating that the assessment could estimate cholinergic function without the complexity and risk of doing a PET scan. These results align with prior studies showing a significant relationship between cholinergic function and cognitive performance as measured by clinician-administered tools.

    The assessment was brief, taking an average of 3 minutes to complete, and demonstrated good usability with reasonable descriptive and psychometric properties. It was sensitive to age within the narrow band measured of 65-83 years and was not influenced by demographic factors such as years of education or gender.

    The researchers conclude: “The results support the adoption of this scalable form of biomarker-informed cognitive assessment available to individuals with an internet-connected device.”

    “These researchers also are looking at whether our brain exercises can upregulate acetylcholine, which would have a tremendous impact on cognitive aging and ADRD research,” Dr. Mahncke added. “We look forward to learning more.

    BrainHQ exercises have shown benefits in more than 300 studies. Such benefits include gains in cognition (attention, speed, memory, decision-making), in quality of life (depressive symptoms, confidence and control, health-related quality of life) and in real-world activities (health outcomes, balance, driving, workplace activities). BrainHQ is used by leading health and Medicare Advantage plans, by leading medical centers, clinics, and communities, and by elite athletes, the military, and other organizations focused on peak performance.

    Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse on Sunday inaugurated Season 4 of the ABC Pro Basketball League at the Rajaram Bhiku Pathare Stadium in Kharadi, Pune. The event celebrated the growing momentum of grassroots basketball in India and highlighted the government’s commitment to nurturing young sporting talent under the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ and the goals of ‘Khelo Bharat Niti 2025’.

    Kicking off with an energetic match and a spirited inauguration ceremony, the event featured a trophy unveiling, national anthem, march pass by participating teams, and an exhibition game. Addressing players and spectators, Raksha Khadse hailed the league as a symbol of youth empowerment and sporting excellence. “Every point scored here contributes to building a healthier, more united, and competitive India,” she said, emphasizing the importance of grassroots sports in achieving national development goals.

    Organisers revealed that over 5,000 young players from across Maharashtra took part in the selection trials. Following a rigorous auction process, 310 players were chosen to represent 19 teams across boys’ and girls’ Under-14 and Under-17 categories. All matches will be held indoors at a state-of-the-art facility to ensure a high standard of play and development.

    The ceremony was attended by a host of dignitaries and team owners, including Mr. Surendra Pathare of the Surendra Pathare Foundation, along with representatives from teams like Kolhapur Jaguars, Mumbai Snipers, Hi 5 RS, Pune Chitale Warriors, Supernova Thane Tigers, Nashik Court Crusaders, Pune Fittr Warriors, and more.

    BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A thrilling kickboxing match between 12-year-old Sergey from Primorsky Krai and a local athlete took place at the Changchun Sports Complex in northeast China’s Jilin Province on Thursday. After the final bell, the young fighters exchanged friendly hugs, showing respect for each other.

    The fight was part of the martial arts festival “Youth and Martial Arts,” which brought together more than 240 young participants. Most of the Russian athletes represented Primorsky Krai, which borders Jilin Province.

    In 1990, the city of Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai and the city of Jilin in Jilin Province became sister cities. Over the years, youth exchanges have been ongoing between the regions, and practical cooperation in the fields of economics, trade, logistics and tourism has been actively developing, yielding fruitful results.

    This strong connection is especially noticeable in the border city of Hunchun in Jilin province. Russians can be seen on the streets everywhere, browsing Chinese goods at local shops. And local traders at night markets call out to customers in Russian with a slight northeastern accent.

    Since the beginning of June, Zhou Yajuan, a tour guide at the Yutong International Travel Agency in Hunchun, has been receiving an average of over 200 Russian tourists a day. She said that most of them come from Primorsky Krai in groups for dental treatment and to get acquainted with traditional Chinese medicine, and their program is very busy.

    At the Aizu Tang Chinese Medicine Center in Hunchun, Han Shimin receives over a thousand Russian guests every year. Certificates of appreciation in Russian hang on the walls of his office.

    Over the past 35 years, economic cooperation between the regions has reached new heights. Every morning, refrigerated trucks loaded with Kamchatka crabs from Russia cross the Hunchun checkpoint and enter China. Sea corridors linking Hunchun via the Russian port of Zarubino with the Chinese ports of Ningbo, Shanghai and Qingdao have turned Jilin Province into a “city of seafood delicacies.” The Changchun-Hunchun-Europe freight train route passes through Primorsky Krai, closely linking the hinterland of Northeast China with the European continent. -0-

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Major listening exercise launched to help shape a more connected and inclusive Stoke-on-Trent

    Source: City of Stoke-on-Trent

    A major listening exercise is being launched to establish what more needs to be done to ensure everybody feels safe and welcome in Stoke-on-Trent.

    The One Stoke-on-Trent campaign was launched in February on the back of the public disorder in August 2024, which saw hundreds of protestors and counter-protestors descend on the city centre.

    Backed by £600,000 from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s Community Recovery Fund, the campaign aims to bring communities together from across Stoke-on-Trent. It involves leaders from across the city council, emergency services, schools and colleges, football clubs and faith and voluntary organisations.

    As part of the year-long campaign, a major listening exercise is now being launched to help build a deeper understanding of what brings communities together, what challenges they face and what they want to see for the future.

    Councillor Jane Ashworth, leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “We want everybody to feel safe in our city, and this extremely important piece of work will help us to understand what more needs to be done to ensure everybody feels welcome and can thrive.

    “It is essential that we talk to a diverse range of organisations, individuals and stakeholders who live and work in the city. It is our job to listen to them, ask those uncomfortable questions and recognise the contribution they are making to our local communities. This will help us to develop a new community cohesion strategy for the city.”

    Cllr Ashworth added: “I’d like to thank all of the stakeholders, board members and community groups who have engaged with us so far. Your support and guidance are extremely valuable and I am looking forward to continuing to work with you throughout the campaign.”

    Between now and September 2025, Protection Approaches – a charity with expertise in community resilience, inclusion and social cohesion – will be engaging with residents across Stoke-on-Trent, through public events, market stalls, sports events, community activities, interviews and targeted sessions with groups focused on issues such as diversity, disability, health and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

    It will also involve a series of free community builder workshops, in collaboration with VAST, which will give participants the chance to discuss the challenges facing their communities and what is already working well.

    The workshops are designed for people who care about making Stoke-on-Trent a more connected and inclusive place to live. They will look at the forces that drive communities apart and lead to people feeling isolated, left out, or targeted.

    They will also look at how to break down barriers between communities in a way that benefits everyone, and how to work with different groups in a meaningful and valuable way.

    The first two workshops are taking place on:

    • Thursday 31 July, between 10am and 4pm, at The Dudson Centre, Hanley
    • Thursday 14 August, between 10 and 4pm, at Gladstone Pottery Museum, Longton

    Andy Fearn, co-executive director at Protection Approaches, said: “This is about hearing from people across Stoke-on-Trent about what matters to them and what they want for the city. Through conversations in communities, workplaces and public spaces, we’re working to understand the ideas, strengths and connections that can help build a more inclusive and united Stoke-on-Trent for the future.

    “If you see us out and about, come and say hello – we’re really looking forward to listening and learning from as many people as possible.”

    Anyone who would like to take part in one of the community builder workshops should email education@protectionapproaches.org.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As digital transformation continues to redefine global markets, Bluewave Nexor has emerged as one of the most talked-about innovations in AI-driven trading. At a time when market unpredictability and data overload challenge even seasoned investors, this next-gen platform offers something different: clarity through automation. With AI at its core, Bluewave Nexor is attracting attention for its ability to turn complex trading decisions into efficient, user-driven actions.

    What sets the platform apart is not just its performance—it’s the growing user base that spans both retail traders and financial strategists. As reports of increased accessibility, fast execution, and advanced analytics continue to surface, industry watchers are calling Bluewave Nexor a “breakthrough in intelligent finance.” From Australia to Europe, and across the Americas, the buzz isn’t slowing down.

    With security, usability, and automation baked into its infrastructure, Bluewave Nexor is now widely seen as a symbol of where trading is headed. In a landscape filled with uncertainty, this platform offers a rare sense of stability and insight—precisely what traders have been looking for.

    AI-Powered Trading at Its Core: The Technology Behind Bluewave Nexor

    Behind the scenes of Bluewave Nexor is a sophisticated AI engine built to monitor markets, detect shifts in momentum, and deliver predictive trade suggestions in real time. This isn’t simple automation—it’s adaptive intelligence. The system learns from historical data and evolving price patterns, helping users act faster and more strategically.

    At the heart of the platform is a proprietary algorithm that processes thousands of data points per second. From crypto volatility to traditional stock signals, Bluewave Nexor’s AI doesn’t just react to trends—it anticipates them. Users gain access to dynamic trading recommendations based on technical analysis, sentiment mapping, and behavioral forecasting.

    Unlike many trading tools that require manual oversight or steep learning curves, Bluewave Nexor streamlines the experience. AI handles the analytics, while the user maintains control over trade execution, parameters, and risk preferences. The result is a hybrid model—advanced enough for professionals, yet intuitive enough for newcomers.

    In 2025, where AI is rapidly becoming the backbone of finance, Bluewave Nexor stands out as a pioneer. It’s not just about speed; it’s about smarter, safer, and more personalized trading backed by real-time intelligence.

    What Is Bluewave Nexor and How Does It Work?

    Bluewave Nexor is an AI-enhanced trading platform designed to simplify and optimize how users participate in financial markets. It operates as both a web-based interface and a mobile-friendly app, offering 24/7 access to major assets like cryptocurrencies, stocks, and forex pairs.

    Once a user signs up and deposits funds, the platform’s AI engine begins its role—analyzing live market feeds and delivering actionable insights. These can include potential buy/sell points, momentum surges, and risk indicators. The user then decides whether to trade manually or activate automated strategies using preset rules. This system is free for all customers to use, and the minimum capital you have to invest is only $250. 

    What makes Bluewave Nexor unique is its real-time adaptability. The system doesn’t follow a rigid pattern—it evolves. As market conditions change, so do the AI’s recommendations. It considers a broad set of factors, including market depth, historical trends, and even sentiment shifts drawn from digital media.

    Bluewave Nexor also integrates essential risk controls such as stop-loss and take-profit thresholds, allowing users to maintain discipline during volatile periods. Whether users choose short-term scalping or long-term positioning, the platform offers the flexibility and insight needed to make data-backed moves with confidence.

    Security First: How Bluewave Nexor Protects Its Users

    In a time when cyberattacks and data breaches are on the rise, Bluewave Nexor has made security one of its top priorities. From the moment a user registers, every interaction is encrypted using advanced protocols that meet global standards for financial technology.

    The platform employs end-to-end SSL encryption, two-factor authentication (2FA), and continuous threat monitoring to ensure a safe environment for both user data and transaction activity. Login access is device-restricted by default, adding an additional barrier against unauthorized entry.

    Bluewave Nexor also maintains strict data segregation policies—meaning your personal details, trading history, and financial activity are never stored in a single vulnerable location. This multi-tiered protection model helps minimize the risk of identity theft or unauthorized fund withdrawals.

    Beyond tech safeguards, Bluewave Nexor’s internal compliance standards are aligned with industry best practices, ensuring that users operate within a secure and transparent ecosystem. For traders, this means peace of mind—knowing their accounts are protected while they focus on performance.

    User-Centric Design: What Makes Bluewave Nexor App So Widely Adopted

    One of the core reasons Bluewave Nexor is seeing rapid adoption in 2025 is its emphasis on user experience. While some trading platforms overwhelm with complexity, Bluewave Nexor focuses on accessibility without sacrificing depth.

    The dashboard is clean, responsive, and logically organized. New users can navigate key features—like portfolio summaries, trade setups, and AI recommendations—within minutes. Everything is designed with a “click-to-act” philosophy, reducing the friction that often discourages new traders.

    For seasoned investors, the platform offers customization tools including configurable charts, technical overlays, and multi-asset watchlists. There’s even a demo mode for practice sessions, allowing users to test strategies in a risk-free environment.

    Accessibility is also a major draw. Whether using a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, the Bluewave Nexor interface adjusts smoothly for real-time monitoring and control. Notifications can be configured to alert users of potential trade opportunities, account changes, or market volatility—ensuring they’re always in the loop.

    In short, the platform is built around the needs of its users—not the other way around. That’s why Bluewave Nexor continues to outperform expectations in global adoption metrics.

    4. Fund Your Account: Once verified, users can make their first deposit using accepted payment methods, which may include credit cards, bank transfers, or crypto wallets. Minimum deposits is $250 but it may vary by region.

    Automated Strategy Execution: How Bluewave Nexor Streamlines Market Timing

    In fast-moving financial markets, milliseconds can make the difference between profit and loss. Bluewave Nexor understands this urgency—and meets it with a trading automation system designed for precision and adaptability. At the core of the platform lies an AI-driven strategy engine that executes trades in real time based on live data, pre-set user preferences, and evolving market indicators.
    Users can choose from a variety of trading modes—such as conservative, moderate, or high-frequency—tailored to their individual risk profiles. Once configured, the system actively scans global markets, triggers trade orders at optimal points, and manages risk using built-in stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms.
    What sets Bluewave Nexor apart is its real-time reactivity. The AI doesn’t rely on static rules; it adjusts strategy execution dynamically as conditions shift. Whether there’s a price breakout, momentum reversal, or macroeconomic trigger, the platform recalibrates without requiring constant manual intervention.
    This automation doesn’t mean users lose control. All automated settings can be toggled, paused, or fine-tuned from a simple interface, giving traders full command over how and when the AI acts. For many, it’s the perfect balance—hands-off when markets move fast, hands-on when nuance is required.
    Bluewave Nexor’s automated strategy tools are helping traders respond to volatility not with fear—but with speed, structure, and intelligence.

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

    One of the core reasons Bluewave Nexor is seeing rapid adoption in 2025 is its emphasis on user experience. While some trading platforms overwhelm with complexity, Bluewave Nexor focuses on accessibility without sacrificing depth.

    The dashboard is clean, responsive, and logically organized. New users can navigate key features—like portfolio summaries, trade setups, and AI recommendations—within minutes. Everything is designed with a “click-to-act” philosophy, reducing the friction that often discourages new traders.

    For seasoned investors, the platform offers customization tools including configurable charts, technical overlays, and multi-asset watchlists. There’s even a demo mode for practice sessions, allowing users to test strategies in a risk-free environment.

    Accessibility is also a major draw. Whether using a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, the Bluewave Nexor interface adjusts smoothly for real-time monitoring and control. Notifications can be configured to alert users of potential trade opportunities, account changes, or market volatility—ensuring they’re always in the loop.

    In short, the platform is built around the needs of its users—not the other way around. That’s why Bluewave Nexor continues to outperform expectations in global adoption metrics.

    Automated Strategy Execution: How Bluewave Nexor Streamlines Market Timing

    In fast-moving financial markets, milliseconds can make the difference between profit and loss. Bluewave Nexor understands this urgency—and meets it with a trading automation system designed for precision and adaptability. At the core of the platform lies an AI-driven strategy engine that executes trades in real time based on live data, pre-set user preferences, and evolving market indicators.
    Users can choose from a variety of trading modes—such as conservative, moderate, or high-frequency—tailored to their individual risk profiles. Once configured, the system actively scans global markets, triggers trade orders at optimal points, and manages risk using built-in stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms.
    What sets Bluewave Nexor apart is its real-time reactivity. The AI doesn’t rely on static rules; it adjusts strategy execution dynamically as conditions shift. Whether there’s a price breakout, momentum reversal, or macroeconomic trigger, the platform recalibrates without requiring constant manual intervention.
    This automation doesn’t mean users lose control. All automated settings can be toggled, paused, or fine-tuned from a simple interface, giving traders full command over how and when the AI acts. For many, it’s the perfect balance—hands-off when markets move fast, hands-on when nuance is required.
    Bluewave Nexor’s automated strategy tools are helping traders respond to volatility not with fear—but with speed, structure, and intelligence.

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