    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Yesterday, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) delivered a speech on the Senate floor celebrating the career and legacy of West Virginia University’s (WVU) outgoing president Dr. Gordon Gee.

    Dr. Gee, who retired this week, dedicated nearly two decades of his life to the service of West Virginia, where he saw the university through many victories and challenges. Dr. Gee worked tirelessly to make education in West Virginia more accessible and obtainable, partnered with Marshall University president Brad Smith to keep the best and brightest students in West Virginia after graduation, and oversaw the addition of 20 hospitals under the WVU Medicine umbrella.

    Senator Capito’s remarks as prepared for delivery: 

    “Mr. President, 

    “I rise today to honor a dear friend of mine, who has dedicated nearly two decades of his life to the service of our great state of West Virginia, and, to the betterment of our students seeking higher education.

    “The man who has been president of more universities than anyone else in the entire world!

    “Doctor E. Gordon Gee, President of West Virginia University, who retired this week.

    “Dr. Gee, or Gordon as we call him, was fortunate to serve two tenures as President of WVU,

    “First from 1981 to 1985, and again from 2013 to 2025.

    “Where he brought his strong desire for community, and love of education, to our Home Among the Hills in Morgantown.

    “I know I speak for everyone when I say how much we will miss his signature bow tie—I believe he has thousands, his love for athletics and impact within the NCAA—he even offered to suit up for the WVU football team, although he’s quick to admit he isn’t much of an athlete—his infectious energy, and his thoughtful guidance.

    “His legacy will be felt at WVU for generations to come.

    “To understand the impact that Gordon has made on West Virginia, I must expand on what WVU means to our state and people far outside our borders.

    “WVU was established in 1867, initially named the Agricultural College of West Virginia, and became our state’s first public land-grant university.

    “Since then, individuals from across our state, country, and world have become Mountaineers – including many members of my own family.

    “There are a couple things that I must note about WVU:

    “First, Mountaineers are everywhere.

    “There isn’t a town across West Virginia, or an airport across our country, where you won’t see the trademark blue and gold flying WV logo.

    “The Mountaineers serve as a point of pride for our state and bring recognition to the wonderful people, passion, culture, and history that we have in West Virginia.

    “Second, Mountaineers are changing the world.

    “Across WVU’s thirteen colleges and schools, whether it be engineering, agriculture, law, or medicine, Mountaineers are making a difference.

    “WVU is our state’s only institution to hold the title of an R-1 University, the benchmark that recognizes exceptional research capacity.

    “This is a status that WVU received in 2016 under Gordon’s leadership.

    “Gordon’s connection to West Virginia isn’t just a professional one. It’s a personal one too.

    “He chose to return to West Virginia not once, but twice, because he believes in West Virginia, our people, and WVU.

    “When he speaks of his love and passion for our state, it is unmistakenly heartfelt.

    “Gordon believes in the power of education, and that belief has left its mark not only on Morgantown, but across every corner of our great state, and honestly, across our entire nation.

    “When Gordon became President of WVU the first time in 1981, he was only 37 years old.

    “When he returned to Blaney House in 2013, he came back seasoned, with the experience and perspective that WVU needed.

    “Through the foundation of his four pillars—education, health care, prosperity, and purpose—Gordon has guided WVU through times both successful and tumultuous—including through a global pandemic—made education for our children in West Virginia more accessible and obtainable, and moved our state towards one of his principles that West Virginians should not have to leave our state’s borders to receive the health services they deserve.

    “The impact that Gordon has made is apparent in many areas, but particularly noteworthy is the impact he has made through the continued expansion of WVU Medicine.

    “As the Chairman of the WVU Medicine Board of Directors, Gordon oversaw the addition of 20 hospitals under the WVU Medicine umbrella that span across our state,

    “And increased the capacity and research support for WVU’s world class facilities like the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, Cancer Institute, Heart and Vascular Institute, and the new Children’s hospital.

    “As West Virginia’s Senator, I’ve had the privilege to work with the wonderful and incredibly impressive people of WVU Medicine and visit these facilities many times.

    “Let me tell you, they are on the cutting edge of medical advancements that will saves live and change our world.

    “Gordon’s leadership has been a critical part of this success, and it’s fitting that his recently finished portrait will live on the WVU Medicine campus.

    “Although Gordon was born in Utah, he is the first to tell you that he is a ‘born-again’ West Virginian.

    “He has made our state his home, and the effort and energy he puts toward benefiting the lives of his fellow West Virginians is evident.

    “Two of Gordon’s four pillars that I mentioned earlier—purpose and prosperity—relate directly to economic development in our state.

    “Along with Marshall President Brad Smith, Gordon was central to developing the ‘First Ascent’ program in West Virginia,

    “This program connects recent WVU and Marshall graduates with workforce opportunities within our state that launch their professional careers, and keep our best and brightest home, contributing to our communities.

    “The duo also worked together to establish ‘Ascend West Virginia,’ which has been a successful effort to attract remote workers to West Virginia’s mountains, highlighting the wonderful outdoor recreation opportunities our state offers to young professionals and their families.

    “Additionally, Gordon has made it a priority to visit and spend time in all 55 of West Virginia’s counties, showing the excellent work of the WVU Extension services, designed to build prosperity, enhance educational opportunities, improve health, and create purpose in communities across the entirety of our state.

    “While Gordon’s presence as WVU President will be missed, we know that he will continue to make a difference in West Virginia.

    “And, as I said when I started this speech, the legacy he has built will continue to be felt for generations to come.

    “I know that I join Gordon and our state when I say we look forward to leadership and experience that the new WVU president, Michael Benson, brings to Morgantown.

    “In a recent article published by WVU Magazine, I found the advice that Gordon gave to his successor to be wise, true, and eloquent:

    “’If you love the state and its people, they will love you back.’

    “That has certainly been the case for Doctor E. Gordon Gee, and the time he has spent in Morgantown.

    “On a personal note, Charlie and I have been the recipients of emails, texts, and letters from Gordon that have lifted us up in tough times, and in good times as well.

    “I have leaned on Gordon’s counsel as I’ve made difficult decisions, and he has always taken the time to give me thoughtful advice.

    “Both Charlie and I can safely say that our lives have been touched by Gordon, and by the friendship we have fostered with him and Laurie.

    “Here in the U.S. Senate, there are members who may have Gordon on speed-dial, but I am eternally grateful that the West Virginians are the ones who get to claim him!

    “Gordon, I wish you the best in your next chapter, and I hope you enjoy the well-deserved time to now spend with your Laurie, who has made an unbelievable mark on our state and the university alongside you, as well as your daughter Rebekah, and your twin granddaughters that you love so dearly.

    “Thank you for all you have done for West Virginia University— for your leadership, your vision, your heart, and all you’ve done for our state and the people who call it home.

    “With that, I yield the floor.”

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Syria crisis: Hundreds killed in ongoing violence, hospitals overwhelmed

    Source: United Nations 4

    Briefing reporters in Geneva, UN human rights office, OHCHR, spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani highlighted “credible” reports of “widespread violations and abuses, including summary executions and arbitrary killings, kidnappings, destruction of private property and looting of homes” in the city of Sweida.

    “Among the reported perpetrators were members of the security forces and individuals affiliated with the interim authorities, as well as other armed elements from the area, including the Druze and Bedouin,” she said.

    Many hospitals are struggling to cope with the influx of injured, the UN refugee agency UNHCR also noted.

    Forced to flee

    On Friday morning, OHCHR colleagues reported that clashes were continuing and that “a lot of people are trying to flee or have fled the area”, Ms. Shamdasani continued.

    Latest updates from the UN humanitarian affairs coordination office, OCHA, on Thursday indicated that nearly 2,000 families had been displaced from areas affected by the fighting.

    Hundreds have reportedly been killed since sectarian violence involving the Druze and Bedouin communities erupted on 12 July, triggering an intervention by Syrian security forces.

    OHCHR’s Ms. Shamdasani highlighted an incident on 15 July in which at least 13 people were killed when “armed individuals affiliated with the interim authorities deliberately opened fire at a family gathering”.

    Briefing an emergency meeting of the Security Council in New York on Thursday, UN Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari also referenced reports of “civilians, religious figures and detainees being subjected to extrajudicial executions and humiliating and degrading treatment”. He urged all parties to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.

    Rumours and fact-checking

    Ms. Shamdasani stressed that the UN human rights office has been trying to verify the information through “contacts on the ground…families of people who were killed, eyewitnesses”, but that obtaining reliable estimates of the death toll remains challenging.

    “There are lots of videos circulating,” she said. “Some claim to be fighters who are in the area filming the abuses and violations they’re carrying out. We are trying to verify some of these videos, but there’s a lot of disinformation out there and a lot of it is being used to incite further violence to inflame tensions.”

    The OHCHR spokesperson also expressed concern about reports of civilian casualties resulting from Israel’s airstrikes on Sweida, Dara’a and central Damascus.

    “Attacks such as the one on Damascus on Wednesday pose great risks to civilians and civilian objects,” she warned, calling for the strikes to cease.

    Israel had launched the strikes pledging to protect the Druze community.

    The violence and displacement have sparked “considerable” humanitarian needs, with the health and aid systems struggling to keep up, said William Spindler of the UN refugee agency UNCHR.

    “Many of the hospitals have been overwhelmed by the number of people who have been injured in the recent fighting,” he said.

    According to OCHA, the UN World Health Organization (WHO) has dispatched enough trauma and emergency surgery kits for 1,750 interventions to the area, but many “remain undelivered due to access constraints”.

    Since the displaced had to flee at very short notice, they are in desperate need of essentials – blankets, jerry cans, solar lamps – but providing these items has been a challenge.

    Too risky to enter

    “We have this in stock and we are ready to deliver them as soon as the security allows it,” Mr. Spindler said. “For now, this has not been possible.”

    Mr. Spindler also warned of water shortages due to electricity outages. He said that people are unable to buy bottled water or food because of the insecurity.

    UNHCR has an office in rural Sweida and Mr. Spindler expressed concern about the impact of the hostilities on the agency’s operations, infrastructure and personnel.

    “We know that humanitarian infrastructure has been affected,” he said, describing an incident on 15 July in which a warehouse of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent was severely damaged by shelling.

    The UNHCR spokesperson called on all parties to the conflict to respect and protect humanitarian premises, personnel and assets “in accordance with international humanitarian law”.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Aid cuts leave refugee agency unable to shelter six in 10 fleeing war in Sudan

    Source: United Nations 4

    Globally, $1.4 billion of the agency’s programmes are being shuttered or put on hold, UNHCR said in a new report.

    “We can’t stop water, you can’t stop sanitation, but we’re having to take decisions when it comes, for example, to shelter,” said UNHCR Director of External Relations, Dominique Hyde.

    “We’re have people arriving on a daily basis from Sudan, from the Darfur regions…arriving in Chad, not able to be given any shelter.”

    In an urgent appeal for flexible funding from donors, Ms. Hyde noted that up to 11.6 million refugees and others risk losing access this year to direct humanitarian assistance from UNHCR. The figure represents about one-third of those reached by the organization last year.

    On the Sudan-Chad border, the UN agency is now unable to provide “even basic shelter” to more than six in 10 refugees fleeing the conflict. Thousands more vulnerable people have been left stranded in remote border locations in South Sudan, too. “If we just had a bit more support, we could get them to settlements,” she insisted.

    Because of the funding cuts, basic activities have already been hit hard. These include refugee registration, child protection, legal counselling and prevention of and responses to gender-based violence.

    Every aid sector hit

    In South Sudan, 75 per cent of safe spaces for women and girls supported by UNHCR have closed, leaving up to 80,000 refugee women and girls without access to medical care, psychosocial support, legal aid, material support or income-generating activities. This includes survivors of sexual violence, UNHCR noted.

    “Behind these numbers are real lives hanging in the balance,” Ms. Hyde said.

    “Families are seeing the support they relied on vanish, forced to choose between feeding their children, buying medicines or paying rent, while hope for a better future slips out of sight. Every sector and operation has been hit and critical support is being suspended to keep life-saving aid going.”

    Libya influx

    Many of those impacted by the war in Sudan have taken the decision to move from Chad and Egypt to Libya, into the hands of people smugglers who dangerously overload boats with desperate people seeking to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe.

    “What we’re observing now is that in terms of arrivals in Europe of…Sudanese refugees, [it] has increased since the beginning of the year by about 170 per cent compared to the first six months of 2024,” said UNHCR spokesperson Olga Sarrado.

    Support slashed from Niger to Ukraine

    In camps hosting Myanmar’s Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, education for some 230,000 children could now be suspended. Meanwhile in Lebanon “UNHCR’s entire health programme is at risk of being shuttered by the end of the year”, Ms. Hyde continued.

    In Niger and other emergency settings, cuts in financial aid for shelter have left families in overcrowded structures or at risk of homelessness. In Ukraine, financial aid has also been slashed, “leaving uprooted families unable to afford rent, food or medical treatment”, Ms. Hyde noted.

    Assistance to returning Afghans has also become another victim of the global aid cuts. Around 1.9 million Afghan nationals have returned home or been forced back since the start of the year, “but financial aid for returnees is barely enough to afford food, let alone rent, undermining efforts to ensure stable reintegration”, UNHCR said.

    Legal aid halted

    Overall, several UNHCR operations hit by severe funding gaps have now had to curtail investments in strengthening asylum systems and promoting regularization efforts.

    In Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Mexico, any prolonged lack of legal status means prolonged insecurity for people on the move, the UN agency said. This results in deepening poverty “as refugees are excluded from formal employment and greater exposure to exploitation and abuse,” Ms. Hyde explained.

    Approximately one in three of the agency’s 550 offices around the world has been impacted by the cuts, Ms. Hyde told journalists in Geneva:

    “We’re not in a position to do so much contingency planning; what we’re able to do is make decisions on priorities – and at this point the priorities as I mentioned are dramatic.”

    For 2025 UNHCR needs $10.6 billion. Only 23 per cent of this amount has been provided.

    “Against this backdrop, our teams are focusing efforts on saving lives and protecting those forced to flee,” Ms. Hyde said. “Should additional funding become available, UNHCR has the systems, partnerships and expertise to rapidly resume and scale up assistance.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Ingrid Yeung visits CEDD

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung today visited the Civil Engineering & Development Department to learn about the department’s progress in optimising operational efficiency and services through the application of technology, as well as its work in slope safety safety and landslip prevention and mitigation.

     

    Mrs Yeung met Director of Civil Engineering & Development Michael Fong and directorate staff to learn about the key initiatives of the Civil Engineering Office, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) and regional development offices.

     

    She also met staff representatives from various grades in the department to hear about matters of concern to them.

     

    Mrs Yeung said the expectations on the civil service from the community are constantly rising and that the challenges posed by extreme weather are becoming increasingly severe.

     

    “I hope my colleagues will continue to strive for excellence, review workflows to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and respond to changes with smart innovations. This will strengthen the public’s sense of fulfilment, happiness and security.”

     

    During Mrs Yeung’s visit to the GEO Emergency Control Centre, officers showed her the “Common Operation Picture” developed and managed by the department.

     

    The electronic system facilitates the sharing of real-time information among different government departments to assist in monitoring emergencies such as landslides, flooding and fallen trees, and to enhance contingency co-ordination.

     

    The GEO maintains a 24-hour, year-round emergency service, providing geotechnical advice to rescue teams and government departments on any emergency actions to be taken to deal with danger arising from landslides.

     

    Mrs Yeung also learned that the department started a trial run of its in-house developed, AI-empowered Landslip Warning System this year.

     

    The new system can further enhance the accuracy of the predicted number of landslides during heavy rainstorms, thereby improving landslide risk assessment and early warning capabilities.

     

    In addition, officers responsible for planning and terrain evaluation briefed Mrs Yeung on the Digital Aerial Photograph Interpretation System launched last year.

     

    The system digitalises historical aerial photographs and centralises such imagery on an instantly accessible digital platform.

     

    It not only allows government departments and related organisations to remotely search, view and analyse high-resolution 3D data, but it also empowers professionals to map and visualise 3D terrains to support related research relating to slope safety management and land planning.

     

    The system also eliminates the need to store physical photographs, and helps to shorten construction times, reduce construction costs, and promote environmental efficiency.

     

    The department’s staff also spoke about their efforts to enhance the speed and efficiency in order to support the development of the Northern Metropolis.

     

    The Northern Metropolis is located in a geologically complex area with very limited engineering data. To speed up development and minimise the work required across different projects, the GEO has initiated a regional ground investigation study in the Northwest New Territories, which involves carrying out ground drilling and rock load tests in strategic areas.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Mann Saves Kansas Families $9 Billion

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Tracey Mann (Kansas, 1)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01) voted to advance H.R. 4, the Rescissions Act of 2025. The bill, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 216-213, codifies the Trump Administration’s rescissions request, clawing back $9 billion in federal spending. Rep. Mann released the following statement after the vote:

    “President Trump ran on three things—securing the border, lowering taxes, and uprooting wasteful, fraudulent, and abusive spending,” said Rep. Mann. “For years, President Obama and President Biden talked about our bloated national debt and tried to push more taxes on hard-working Americans. President Trump is the first president in two decades to actually do something about our debt and roll back wasteful spending. Sending billions of Americans’ tax dollars overseas for LGBTQ movements, voter ID initiatives, and Green New Deal efforts isn’t just wasteful, it’s highway robbery. I was proud to claw back this wasteful spending to steward Kansans’ hard earned tax dollars well and begin to restore fiscal responsibility in our country.”

    President Trump’s rescissions package rescinds $9 billion in federal spending for programs including: 

    • $167,000 for free education and healthcare to Ecuadorian and Venezuelan migrants

    •  $889,000 for electoral reforms and voter education in Kenya

    • $1 million for voter ID in Haiti

    • $33,000 for “Being LGBTI in the Caribbean”

    • $643,000 for LGBTQI+ programs in the Western Balkans

    News story

    UKHSA issues warning over botulism

    UKHSA warns public to be alert to botulism following adverse reactions to cosmetic procedures involving botulinum toxin.

    UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is warning people to be aware of the signs and symptoms of botulism after a small number of individuals presented to NHS healthcare settings following adverse reactions after receiving cosmetic procedures involving botulinum toxin.

    The cases are in addition to those recently diagnosed in the North East region and relate to procedures carried out in the East of England and East Midlands. To date, 38 cases of iatrogenic botulism have been reported between 4 June and 14 July 2025.  

    As yet there are no known links between the newly diagnosed cases and those in the North East.

    Investigations are ongoing but evidence so far suggests the use of an unlicensed Botox-like product. It is understood that those practitioners involved in this latest incident have ceased the procedure and are co-operating with the ongoing investigation.

    Reactions have included:

    • difficulty swallowing
    • slurred speech
    • breathing difficulty requiring respiratory support

    UKHSA has issued national advice to clinicians to ensure that they look out for botulism in people who may have had a recent aesthetic procedure, in order to provide them appropriate treatment which includes giving anti-toxin.

    UKHSA is also advising people to take precautions when seeking aesthetic procedures, including checking if the product being used is licensed.

    Dr Gauri Godbole, Consultant Medical Microbiologist at UKHSA, said:

    We are working closely with our partners to reduce the public health risk and would advise people to make sure they take precautions when seeking aesthetic procedures.

    Botulism related to aesthetic procedures is rare, but it can be serious. It is caused by toxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. These toxins (but not the bacteria) are the active ingredient in ‘Botox’ and similar products.

    Symptoms of botulism can take up to 4 weeks to develop and if you have had a recent botulinum toxin (Botox-like) treatment and are having symptoms such as difficulty swallowing or breathing, contact NHS 111 for further advice and seek treatment.

    If you are considering having a cosmetic procedure, please make sure to check that your practitioner is using a licensed product. On the NHS website there is more information on what sensible steps you can take when finding a practitioner.

    Professor Meghana Pandit, Co-National Medical Director secondary care at NHS England, said: 

    When these procedures go wrong, there is a risk of serious infections and permanent scarring, which is why only registered professionals like a doctor, a nurse or pharmacy prescriber should be prescribing these treatments.

    If you decide to undergo a cosmetic procedure like Botox or lip fillers, there is advice on the NHS.uk website on the questions to ask, including making sure that the person administering it is trained to do it.

    Dr Alison Cave, MHRA Chief Safety Officer said:

    Public safety is a top priority for the MHRA. Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine and should only be sold or supplied in accordance with a prescription given by an appropriate practitioner such as a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.

    Buying botulinum toxin in any other circumstances significantly increases the risk of getting a product which is either falsified or not licensed for use in the UK. This means that there are no safeguards to ensure products meet the MHRA’s standards for quality and safety. As such, they can endanger the health of the people who take them.

    Our Criminal Enforcement Unit works hard to identify those involved in the illegal trade in medicines and takes robust enforcement action where necessary. This can include criminal prosecution.

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for South Carolina Tim Scott

    Since U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced the Modern Worker Empowerment Act as a part of a package focused on giving independent contractors greater flexibility and benefits earlier this month, key national and South Carolina organizations have come out in support of passage of the bill. 

    “For decades, our laws have treated flexible work like a fallback, not a choice. Millions are building careers on their own terms—and they deserve benefits and protections that follow the worker, not the job. This legislation is a necessary step toward a future of work that actually reflects how people work today and creates more certainty for innovative companies looking to harness technology to democratize access to work.

    We commend Senators Scott, Cassidy, and Paul for advancing legislation that acknowledges the dignity of all work and helps create a more inclusive, responsive economy. This is where the future of work is headed—and policy should meet it there.” 

    – Regan Parker, Chief Legal and Public Affairs Officer, ShiftKey

    “Under the previous administration, truck drivers’ freedom came under fire when the Department of Labor published a rule that made it more difficult to operate independently, despite our home state of South Carolina’s clear language in this regard. We applaud Senator Scott for standing up for the rights of trucking entrepreneurs whose livelihoods were put in jeopardy.  His legislation will protect the integrity of our interstate supply chain and ensure that South Carolina truckers who choose to work as independent contractors will be able to continue to run their own small businesses and control their own hours and routes.”

    – Rick Todd, President & CEO, South Carolina Trucking Association 

    “The independent truckers who have spent years or even decades building their own small businesses deserve commonsense regulations that ensure their livelihoods will not be uprooted. Senator Scott has been a champion of the more than 350,000 Americans in trucking who chose this entrepreneurial pathway because of the economic opportunity it creates and the flexibility it provides.  ATA strongly supports his legislation to protect independent truckers, and we will continue to work alongside him and other Members of Congress to defend Americans’ right to earn a living in the manner that they choose.”

    Congressman Allen Votes to Fund U.S. Military Superiority

    Washington, July 18, 2025

    Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 4016, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2026. This legislation serves as the vehicle to provide funding for the Department of Defense (DoD) and funds critical programs regarding national security, military operations abroad, and the health and quality of life for those in the Armed Forces and their families.  After voting in support of the bill, Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) issued the following statement:

    “As I’ve said before, strong national security begins with a strong defense. Not only does this legislation ensure that the Department of Defense is properly funded, but it also sends a clear message to our adversaries that America’s military is fully focused on superiority and lethality. The days of funding DoD programs that distract from our core mission of deterring and destroying the United States’ enemies are long gone. I was proud to support this bill that strengthens our nation on the world stage, provides a pay raise for the men and women in uniform, cuts waste, and keeps American citizens safe. I will urge my colleagues in the Senate to do the same,” said Congressman Allen.

    The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2026:

    • Champions America’s military superiority by:
      • Enhancing investments in 5th and 6th generation aircraft.
      • Allocating approximately $13 billion for missile defense and space programs to augment and integrate in support of the Golden Dome effort.
      • Supporting our close ally Israel by providing $500 million for the Israeli Cooperative Missile Defense Programs, and $122.5 million for U.S.-Israel cooperative development programs.
    • Cares for our troops and their families by:
      • Including an increase of 3.8% in basic pay for all military personnel effective January 1, 2026.
      • Continuing historic pay increases enacted in Fiscal Year 2025 for junior enlisted servicemembers.
      • Improving quality of life, readiness, and continuity for servicemembers by slowing permanent change of station moves, saving over $662 million.
    • Shapes a more efficient and effective Department of Defense by:
      • Prioritizing fiscal sanity and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse through codifying both the Department’s cooperation with DOGE and streamlined functions and management improvements at the Pentagon.
      • Requiring detailed reporting on the Department’s proposed allocations and expenditures of reconciliation.
    • Supports the Trump Administration and mandate from the American people by:
      • Codifying President Trump’s executive actions to end discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs by prohibiting funding for DEI efforts and Critical Race Theory.
      • Amplifying President Trump’s executive action to restore readiness by prohibiting funding for sex-change surgeries.
      •  Advancing prohibitions on funding for abortion-related travel, drag queen shows, and COVID vaccine and mask mandates.

  • MIL-OSI USA: 150 NY Districts Plan Smartphone-Free Schools

    Source: US State of New York

    overnor Kathy Hochul today highlighted growing momentum for New York’s implementation of distraction-free schools this fall, as nearly 150 school districts statewide have already submitted their plans for bell-to-bell smartphone restrictions – well in advance of the State’s August 1 deadline. This wave of early submissions came just one week after the New York State Education Department (NYSED) sent a survey prompting school district leaders to send in their district’s distraction-free policy by August 1, in accordance with New York State law. These early submissions also came following Governor Hochul’s launch of a State website for distraction-free schools, which provides a policy FAQ, external informational toolkit and other resources to help districts as they finalize their policy.

    “As August 1 approaches, more and more districts across New York are thinking creatively about how to implement a bell-to-bell smartphone restriction policy that works best for their unique school community,” Governor Hochul said. “I encourage all schools to learn from these additional examples and resources on our website to develop a plan suited for their students, teachers and families by the deadline.”

    This new requirement will take place in the 2025-26 School Year and applies to all schools in public school districts, as well as charter schools and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES).

    Governor Hochul’s cellphone policy creates a statewide standard for distraction-free schools in New York including:

    • Prohibits unsanctioned use of smartphones and other internet-enabled personal devices on school grounds in K-12 schools for the entire school day (from “bell to bell”), including classroom time and other settings like lunch and study hall periods
    • Allows schools to develop their own plans for storing smartphones during the day — giving administrators and teachers the flexibility to do what works best for their buildings and students
    • Secures $13.5 million in funding to be made available for schools that need assistance in purchasing storage solutions to help them go distraction-free
    • Requires schools to give parents a way to contact their kids during the day when necessary
    • Requires teachers, parents and students to be consulted in developing the local policy
    • Prevents inequitable discipline

    Governor Hochul’s policy clarifies that students will have authorized access to simple cellphones without internet capability, as well as internet-enabled devices officially provided by their school for classroom instruction, such as laptops or tablets used as part of lesson plans.

    Additionally, the Governor’s policy includes several exemptions to smartphone restrictions, including for students who require access to an internet-enabled device to manage a medical condition, where required by a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), for academic purposes or for other legitimate purposes, such as translation, family caregiving and emergencies.

    Governor Hochul pursued this initiative after engaging in a statewide listening tour with teachers, parents, and students. Her report “More Learning, Less Scrolling: Creating Distraction-Free Schools” underscores the following:

    • Smartphones distract students and inhibit learning and creativity
    • Phone-free environments do not compromise student safety
    • Phone-free environments support the mental health of students and teachers
    • Open communication and direct guidance for all stakeholders is key for successful implementation
    • Schools must address any parent concerns about staying in contact with their children during the day
    • An effective distraction-free policy must focus on the entire school day, rather than solely on time in the classroom
    • Schools can strengthen their distraction-free environment by connecting more students with in-person engagement like clubs, sports, arts and other programming

    State Senator Shelley B. Mayer said, “As we near the start of the school year, it is important that school districts find the bell-to-bell implementation plan that works best for their school district, students, and teachers – with the viewpoints of students, parents, teachers, and administrators at the forefront of the discussion. I am pleased to see that so many school districts have already finalized their plans for next year and am optimistic that with the bell-to-bell cell phone policy, students will face fewer distractions and more opportunities.”

    State Senator John Liu said, “This wave of early submissions shows just how eager our school districts are to get phones out of the classrooms and back to the basics of a focused, in-person learning environment. Not only is this new statewide standard responsive to the wants and needs of teachers and students for phone-free schools, but it marks a new era for learning and education that puts our kids’ concentration, mental health, and academic achievement first.”

  • MIL-OSI Security: Man jailed for life for murder of Derek Thomas

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    A man has been jailed for life for murdering 55-year-old Derek Thomas, who was stabbed outside his home in Hackney last year.

    On Monday, 7 July, Kamar Williams, 34 (21.01.91) of West Ferry Road, E14 was found guilty of murder and possession of an offensive weapon following a trial at the Old Bailey.

    On Friday, 18 July a judge at the same court sentenced Williams to life in prison, with a minimum term of 29 years.

    The court heard how, in the early evening of Tuesday, 30 July 2024 Williams sent threatening text messages to Derek’s daughter, warning her to “watch this space.”

    Hours later, CCTV captured Williams driving a grey van along Benthal Road, N16. He stopped directly outside Derek’s home. Williams was wearing a pair of reflective trainers, which made him easily identifiable throughout the CCTV footage.

    Williams was seen pacing along Benthal Road, loitering near Derek’s home, before disappearing out of shot. Moments later, he returned to his van and drove away at 23:03hrs.

    At 23:04hrs, police received a 999 call from a member of the public reporting that a man had been stabbed with a ‘very big knife.’ Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended, but despite their best efforts, Derek died at the scene.

    Detective Inspector John Marriott, who led the investigation, said: “This was a brutal and premeditated attack on a much-loved father. Kamar Williams showed clear intent that night, driving to Derek’s home, waiting for the right moment, and carrying out this senseless act of violence.

    “The swift response from our officers, combined with extensive CCTV, forensic work, and determination from our investigation team, led to his arrest and conviction.

    “Our thoughts remain with Derek’s family, who have shown immense strength throughout this ordeal.”

    Following the conviction, Derek’s family said:

    “Derek will be greatly missed by his family and friends, he was a dedicated family man and worked hard to provide for them. He was the life and soul of the family. Derek was always on hand to provide support, knowledge, advice and was a calming influence when it was required. His passing has left a massive hole in the lives of his wife, children, grandchildren, family and all that knew him. He was greatly loved by all and will never be forgotten.”

    The investigation progressed rapidly. On Thursday, 1 August 2024 police were contacted about an abandoned grey van on Langford Close, E8. Inside, officers recovered a bank card belonging to Williams from the driver’s seat, directly linking him to the vehicle.

    Analysis of the Automatic Number Plate Recognition system showed that the van had travelled multiple times between the crime scene and Williams’ home address.

    Enquiries at a local hospital also revealed that Williams had sought treatment for a 5cm cut to his left knee on 31 July, the day after the murder — further evidence tying him to the violent incident.

    Williams repeatedly attempted to evade police. On Saturday, 3 August traffic officers tried to stop a silver BMW on Burnt Ash Hill, SE9 but the driver made off. It was later established that Williams was behind the wheel.

    In a further effort to avoid arrest, Williams left London temporarily. However, following a manhunt, officers identified and arrested him within the footprint of Notting Hill Carnival on 26 August 2024. He was charged with murder the following day.

We’re prioritizing readiness, providing military personnel with an across-the-board pay raise, investing in the B-21 Raider, and eliminating DEI overreach. Paired with the One Big, Beautiful Bill, we’re making bold investments to confront modern threats head-on.”

    Congressman Alford is a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee and represents two military instillations—Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base—in Missouri’s Fourth District.

    Background:

    H.R. 4016 champions America’s military superiority by:  

    • Enhancing investments in 5th and 6th generation aircraft including the F-35, F-47, and F/A-XX.  
    • Supporting the modernization of the nuclear triad: the B-21 Raider, the Columbia Class Submarine, and Sentinel.
    • Targeting resources for unmanned aerial systems, uncrewed maritime platforms, and land-based counter-unmanned aerial systems to advance capabilities and strengthen our national defense.
    • Investing in national security space, including proliferated missile warning, missile tracking satellite, and next generation intelligence collection systems to ensure national leaders have real-time global situational awareness.
    • Allocating approximately $13 billion for missile defense and space programs to augment and integrate in support of the Golden Dome effort.
    • Providing over $2.6 billion for hypersonics programs.
    • Reversing the “divest to invest” trend by preserving F-15s and U-2s while investing in next-generation fighters and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems.
    • Continuing to prioritize innovation through over $1.3 billion combined for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT), and Office of Strategic Capital (OSC).
    • Supporting our close ally Israel by providing $500 million for the Israeli Cooperative Missile Defense Programs, and $122.5 million for U.S.-Israel cooperative development programs.

    H.R. 4016 cares for our troops and their families by:  

    • Including an increase of 3.8% in basic pay for all military personnel effective January 1, 2026.
    • Continuing historic pay increases enacted in Fiscal Year 2025 for junior enlisted servicemembers.
    • Improving quality of life, readiness, and continuity for servicemembers by slowing permanent change of station moves, saving over $662 million.

    H.R. 4016 shapes a more efficient and effective Department of Defense by:  

    • Reducing $6.5 billion and almost 45,000 civilian full-time equivalents to capture Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative efforts.
    • Prioritizing fiscal sanity and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse through codifying both the Department’s cooperation with DOGE and streamlined functions and management improvements at the Pentagon.
    • Requiring detailed reporting on the Department’s proposed allocations and expenditures of reconciliation.

    H.R. 4016 combats international actors who facilitate drug trafficking and manufacturing by:  

    • Providing $1.15 billion for counter drug programs, which is $245 million above the budget request.
    • Increasing funding for the National Guard Counterdrug Program.
    • Transferring Mexico from U.S. Northern Command’s jurisdiction to U.S. Southern Command for better coordination and prioritization.

    H.R. 4016 supports the Trump Administration and mandate of the American people by:  

    • Codifying President Trump’s executive actions to end discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs by prohibiting funding for DEI efforts and Critical Race Theory.
    • Backing President Trump’s executive action to restore free speech by prohibiting funding for federal government censorship.
    • Amplifying President Trump’s executive action to restore readiness by prohibiting funding for sex-change surgeries.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Double win for Plymouth’s City Centre regeneration at construction awards

    Source: City of Plymouth

    Plymouth’s city centre is shining brighter than ever after Old Town Street and New George Street scooped two major awards at last night’s prestigious Constructing Excellence South West Awards.

    Events and musical performances on newly transformed Old Town Street and New George Street have attracted huge crowds

    The transformative public realm project was crowned Infrastructure Project of the Year and also took home the award for Integration and Collaborative Working which is a true testament to the power of teamwork, vision, and sheer determination.

    This once tired and run-down part of the city has been reborn as a vibrant, welcoming hub that’s drawing in visitors, boosting local businesses, and attracting exciting new brands to Plymouth. Delivered in a live, complex and historic environment, the project has already made a huge impact – footfall is surging and unit occupancy is on the rise.

    Old Town Street and New George Street are already being used to host regular markets and musical performances, which have proven to be incredibly popular with locals and visitors alike. These events are breathing even more life into the area and showcasing the space’s potential as a cultural and community hotspot.

    This project wasn’t just about looks, it was delivered with care, precision and real community impact. An impressive £4.2 million was reinvested into the local supply chain, with 82 per cent of the workforce hired from within 20 miles of the site, ensuring that the benefits of regeneration were felt directly by local people and businesses. This strong local focus helped create jobs, support small enterprises, and build lasting skills in the community.

    Councillor Tudor Evans, Leader of Plymouth City Council, said: “This is more than just paving stones and planting – it’s about breathing new life into the heart of our city. We’ve created a space that people want to spend time in, where families can meet, businesses can thrive, and visitors feel welcome. It’s a place that reflects the pride we have in Plymouth and the ambition we have for its future.

    “Winning these two awards is a fantastic recognition of the hard work, collaboration and care that went into this project, but more importantly, it shows what’s possible when we invest in our city and our communities. And we’re not stopping here – this is just the beginning of something really special.”

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: New Woolwell Crescent turning to open early

    Source: City of Plymouth

    Work on the first phase of the Woolwell to The George transport improvement scheme is progressing well and the new left turn from Tavistock Road (inbound) into Woolwell Crescent is due to open next week, ahead of programme.

    The traffic management will be changed overnight on Sunday 20 July to allow all southbound traffic (including traffic using the Belliver Roundabout diversion) to access Woolwell without having to go down to Woolwell Roundabout.

    The junction from Eco Way onto Woolwell Crescent will also reopen, with a left turn only, while work on the new traffic light junction for traffic exiting Woolwell Crescent onto Tavistock Road continues.

    This is expected to finish at the end of September and will allow vehicles to turn right and travel north (for the first time) or turn left towards the city centre (as they did before).

    From Monday 21 July, work on Tavistock Road, between the Belliver and Woolwell roundabouts will move to the central reservation. Southbound traffic will continue to be reduced to one lane and northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane, as it was until recently.

    Work on Woolwell Road is substantially complete, with a new toucan crossing and street lighting, along with improved cycle and pedestrian paths.

    Preparations for phase two of the scheme, which involves widening Tavistock Road between Woolwell Roundabout and the George Park and Ride, as well as replacing Woolwell Roundabout with a new signalised junction, are ongoing, with work planned to start in the autumn.

    More information on phase two will be provided nearer the start, along with the dates and locations of public information events.

    The Woolwell to The George scheme has been in the pipeline for many years. It will tackle one of Plymouth’s worst traffic bottlenecks and is a vital part of our programme to provide better links to and from the north of Plymouth as it grows.

    More information can be found on our Woolwell to The George pages.

  • MIL-OSI China: China strengthens supersize market, investment hub position with high-standard opening up in 14th Five-Year Plan period

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

    China strengthens supersize market, investment hub position with high-standard opening up in 14th Five-Year Plan period

    BEIJING, July 18 — China has made significant progress on key tasks related to consumption, foreign trade and investment cooperation in the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025). These achievements are expected to continue to inject momentum into global economic growth.

    At a press conference held in Beijing on Friday, senior commerce ministry officials highlighted that China has further solidified its position as the world’s second-largest consumption market and biggest goods trader.

    “The vast Chinese market has become a shared market for the world and will surely continue to be the source of growth and vitality for the world economy,” said Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao at the press conference.

    The country has also worked to improve the business environment for foreign-funded enterprises during the period, with many multi-nationals saying that China is an “ideal, safe and promising” destination for cross-border investment.

    Despite facing challenges from rising unilateralism and protectionism, the officials shared their vision for the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), revealing that China will seek to strengthen international cooperation, increase the resilience of trade and strive to build an international trade pattern, featuring openness, cooperation, common development, and mutual benefits and win-win results.

    SUPERSIZED CONSUMPTION MARKET

    According to Wang, the commerce minister, China’s supersized consumption market has expanded during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, reinforcing the nation’s position as the second-largest consumer market globally.

    With an average annual growth rate of 5.5 percent in the retail sales of consumer goods since 2021 in China, consumption has contributed around 60 percent on average annually to the nation’s economic growth over the past four years, Wang said, who forecast the sales to top 50 trillion yuan (about 7 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2025.

    In terms of absolute value, he revealed, China’s retail sales of consumer goods are about 80 percent of those in the United States. However, in terms of real purchasing power, the nation’s retail sales of consumer goods have surpassed those in the United States, Wang said, citing World Bank data and calculations.

    In illustrating the huge potential of the Chinese consumption market, the minister said that China has ranked top in terms of online retail sales for 12 consecutive years. China has also been the world’s biggest consumption market for cars and home appliances such as air conditioners and washing machines.

    “China has a population of 1.4 billion. Any product, if multiplied by 1.4 billion, means definitely a supersize market,” Wang said, adding that measures will be taken to boost services consumption, which has grown at a much faster rate compared to the consumption of goods.

    “The characteristics of China’s consumption market, which feature great potential, strong resilience and abundant vitality, have not changed,” he said, saying that the ministry will introduce targeted measures in light of the changing times and circumstances to further stimulate goods consumption and tap the potential of service consumption in the next five years.

    IDEAL INVESTMENT HUB

    Data from the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) indicates that as of the end of June this year, China’s actual use of foreign direct investment during the 14th Five-Year Plan period had reached a cumulative total of 708.73 billion U.S. dollars. This figure meant the country has achieved the 700 billion U.S. dollar investment attraction target ahead of schedule.

    Demonstrating confidence in investing in China’s investment climate, 229,000 new foreign-funded enterprises were established during the period in the country, an increase of 25,000 compared with the 13th Five-Year Plan period. “Foreign-funded enterprises have contributed one third of China’s imports and exports, one fourth of its industrial added value and one seventh of its tax revenue, and have created over 30 million jobs, making significant contributions to China’s economic and social development,” Vice Minister of Commerce Ling Ji said.

    Ling revealed at the press conference that foreign investors have increased their allocations in China’s high-tech sectors compared with 2020, with many multinational companies establishing regional headquarters and global R&D centers in China.

    To create a favorable environment for foreign investment, China has expanded opening up by lifting restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing industry across the country, Ling said.

    Additionally, the country has improved its market and policy environment by implementing various measures with regard to government procurement, intellectual property protection, cross-border data flow and fiscal and tax incentives. Since 2023, the MOC has held over 30 roundtable meetings for foreign-funded enterprises, helping resolve more than 1,500 various demands raised by foreign-funded enterprises, he said.

    “Investing in China is investing in the future. We hope that the vast number of foreign-funded enterprises can achieve greater development in the process of China’s modernization,” Ling said.

    WIN-WIN RESULTS THROUGH COOPERATION

    During the past several years, economic globalization faced headwinds, with unilateralism and protectionism on the rise, causing significant disruptions to the international economic order and governance system. Despite these challenges, China has firmly upheld the multilateral trading system by promoting both multilateral cooperation and regional cooperation, vice commerce minister Li Chenggang said at the press conference.

    Throughout this period, China’s trading partners have become more diverse. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has remained China’s largest trading partner for five consecutive years. In 2024, the proportion of China’s trade with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative has exceeded 50 percent of its total trade, MOC data showed.

    “We are a major trading partner of over 150 countries and regions. We not only provide high-quality products and services to the world, but also ensure the resilience and stability of the global industrial and supply chains,” Wang said, who stressed that the huge Chinese market is also a shared market for the world.

    From 2021 to 2024, China imported goods worth 7.4 trillion yuan, MOC data showed. Wang said that from the perspective of imports, the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong accounted for approximately 13.3 percent of world’s total goods imports, very close to the 13.6 percent share taken by the United States, quoting data from the World Trade Organization.

    Responding to a journalist’s question about China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation, Wang said that despite the ups and downs in China-U.S. economic and trade relations, the two sides have remained important partners to each other in trade and investment. “In 2024, the trade volume of goods between China and the United States was 688.3 billion U.S. dollars, and the trade volume of services was 155.8 billion U.S. dollars. Both figures increased by 18 percent and 34.7 percent, respectively, compared with 2017.”

    Wang said that it is inevitable that there will be differences and frictions in China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation, but this is a normal situation and that dialogues and consultations are the best choice to solve problems.

    Wang said China is willing to work with the United States, based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, to continue to strengthen dialogues and communications, enhance consensus and reduce misunderstandings, and jointly promote the China-U.S. economic and trade relations back to the right track and achieve healthy, stable and sustainable development.

    Source: US FBI

               WASHINGTON – Damon Middleton, 32, and Michael Alston, 27, both of the District of Columbia, were ordered to be held without bond today following their arrests for armed kidnapping and carjacking, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

                According to court documents, on May 9, 2025, a male victim was parking his Dodge Caravan at his home in the District when he was approached by two men who hit him on the head and demanded money. One of the subjects allegedly took the victim’s keys, entered his apartment, and ransacked it.

                The two men then drove the victim in the victim’s Dodge Caravan to various Maryland ATMs to withdraw funds from the victim’s CashApp and bank accounts. The men eventually left the victim zip-tied in Hyattsville, Maryland, and drove off in his vehicle. Law enforcement later located the torched remains of the victim’s Dodge Caravan within the District.

                Middleton and Alston were charged in an indictment, which was unsealed on July 11, 2025, on charges of federal kidnapping and transportation of a stolen vehicle, as well as District of Columbia charges of armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence.

                This case is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Washington Field Office’s Violent Crimes Task Force. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sabena Auyeung and Mark Levy.

                WASHINGTON – Philip Dupree, 40, a former police officer with the Fairmount Heights, Maryland Police Department, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 74 months in prison following his conviction at trial on June 17, 2024, in connection with violating a man’s civil rights by using unreasonable force, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

                A federal jury found Dupree guilty on June 17, 2024, of one count of deprivation of rights under color of law. In addition to the 74-month prison term, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered Dupree to serve threeyears of supervised release.

                “When the defendant used unnecessary and excessive force on a man in handcuffs, he violated his duty and betrayed his oath to serve and protect,” said U.S. Attorney Pirro. “The Court’s sentence serves as a stark reminder that members of law enforcement must not break the faith with the communities we all serve.”

                According to court documents, Dupree was on duty as a Fairmont Heights Police officer during the early morning hours of Aug. 4, 2019, when he conducted a traffic stop on Eastern Avenue NE, in the District of Columbia. After detaining the driver and the driver’s sister, Officer Dupree pepper-sprayed the driver in the face while the driver was handcuffed and seated in Dupree’s police car.  The jury found that Dupree’s use of force constituted excessive force by a law enforcement officer.

                “Our government requires police officers to abide by the laws they enforce and to protect the constitutional rights of all persons in their custody,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “Dupree abused his authority as a police officer, and today Dupree was held accountable for his actions.”

                “Law enforcement officers have a duty to enforce the laws while protecting the rights of those they serve,” said Steven J. Jensen, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. “Today’s sentence underscores this responsibility and demonstrates the FBI’s resolve to pursue public servants who abuse their positions of power and trust.”

                The case was investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office. It was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Sanjay Patel of the Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher R. Howland of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

                WASHINGTON – Amstrong Chapajong, 38, of Cheverly, Maryland, pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court to one count of health care fraud after billing the District of Columbia’s Medicaid program for services never provided.

                The plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen of the Washington Field Office, Special Agent in Charge Maureen R. Dixon of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), and Inspector General Daniel W. Lucas of the D.C. Office of the Inspector General (DC-OIG).

                According to court documents, from March 2020 to January 2022, Chapajong worked as a personal care aide (PCA) and a community support worker (CSW) within the District of Columbia.  PCA services are intended to assist Medicaid beneficiaries in performing activities of daily living, and CSW services include support for mental-health consumers’ recovery and wellness in community settings.  Chapajong admitted to repeatedly submitting false timesheets to his employers, claiming to have provided in-person care as a PCA and telephonic behavioral health services as a CSW to multiple District beneficiaries simultaneously while at different locations.  Through this scheme, he caused the District’s Medicaid Program to pay $113,243 for duplicative services he did not render.

                The Honorable Randolph D. Moss accepted the plea, and scheduled sentencing for Jan. 7, 2026. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Chapajong faces a possible sentence of up to one year in prison and a maximum fine of $40,000.  As part of his plea agreement, Chapajong agreed to pay $113,243 in restitution and is subject to forfeiture of his assets.

                This case was jointly investigated by the FBI, the HHS-OIG, and the DC-OIG’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.  The District Department of Health Care Finance’s Division of Program Integrity initially referred this matter and provided assistance during the investigation. It is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Facci, who is on detail from the D.C.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Lancaster, UK, July 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As institutional and retail interest in cryptocurrency mining continues to accelerate, SIM Mining has implemented a suite of enhanced security protocols designed to safeguard user data and platform operations. The announcement follows a broader industry trend prioritising secure, automated, and energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure amid rising cloud mining adoption.

    According to a recent article on Yahoo Finance, leading cloud mining providers are scaling renewable-powered facilities while increasing transparency and mitigating risk. In response, SIM Mining has reviewed and reinforced its encrypted platform to align with these evolving standards, ensuring a secure environment for digital asset mining.

    The latest audit of SIM Mining’s infrastructure, conducted by an external cybersecurity firm, focused on key risk areas including data encryption, access authentication, and network resilience. Following the review, the platform integrated multi-layer firewalls, real-time threat detection systems, and regionally distributed data backups. These improvements aim to address increasing cyber threats associated with cloud-based blockchain services.

    “In today’s digital economy, trust begins with infrastructure,” said Elena Kim, Chief Security Officer at SIM Mining. “Our priority is to provide users with a secure cloud mining environment that adapts to evolving risk landscapes, regulatory expectations, and sustainability demands.”

    Cloud Mining Trends and Security Expectations

    The global cloud mining sector is undergoing significant evolution in 2025. Industry data shows that

    • Over 60% of cloud mining services now use renewable energy sources.
    • Approximately 50% of all new users prioritise platforms with verified third-party security audits.
    • The adoption rate of AI-powered automation in mining operations has risen by over 35% year-over-year.

    This momentum signals a shift from speculative trading to infrastructure-focused participation, where ease of access and data protection are critical components. SIM Mining’s recent platform hardening efforts directly address these user expectations while supporting broader ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) initiatives.

    A Global Rollout of Security-First Infrastructure

    As part of the announcement, SIM Mining confirmed its phased rollout of new security architecture across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. The upgrade includes region-specific compliance enhancements, encrypted traffic protocols, and isolated recovery nodes designed to withstand physical and digital threats.

    In addition to platform-level changes, SIM Mining has expanded its global support infrastructure, introducing multilingual assistance teams and localized safety briefings for users in more than 100 countries. These efforts aim to democratize access to mining while educating users on safe participation in the blockchain economy.

    “We recognise that many of our users are entering this space for the first time,” added Kim. “Providing secure infrastructure is one thing; helping users understand and benefit from it is equally important.”

    Focus on Sustainable and Compliant Operations

    Aligned with the industry’s clean energy shift, SIM Mining’s data centers operate on renewable sources, including solar and wind power. This commitment not only helps reduce the environmental impact of mining but also supports platform scalability under growing demand.

    Security enhancements were developed in parallel with sustainability improvements, creating a model of resilient, responsible infrastructure—one that meets increasing scrutiny from regulatory agencies and institutional stakeholders.

    .

    Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has provided equipment for carpentry and plumbing workshops at the National Skills Development and Vocational Training Institute in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

    Originally established in 1984, the institute was forced to suspend its activities in 2009 due to terrorist incidents in the country. It resumed operations in 2022 under the Somali Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. However, over the years, the institution had suffered a significant decline in capacity and was only able to offer limited vocational training due to insufficient infrastructure and a lack of technical equipment.

    Thanks to the carpentry and plumbing workshop equipment supplied by TİKA, the institute’s practical training capacity has been substantially improved. The project aims not only to strengthen vocational training infrastructure but also to help develop a skilled workforce, thereby creating new employment opportunities.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: The Booker Washington Institute (BWI) automotive students restore and donate vehicle to enhance hands-on training

    .

    Senior automotive students at the Booker Washington Institute (BWI) have restored and donated a fully functional vehicle to their department, strengthening hands-on training for future students. As part of their final project, the class raised $800, purchased a non-running car, and successfully repaired it over four months, showcasing practical skills, teamwork, and leadership.

    The project complements an existing training vehicle previously donated by the European Union (EU) through the Youth Rising project, addressing a major gap in practical resources. With 42 students in the senior automotive class, one vehicle was insufficient to provide adequate hands-on training. The student-led initiative to acquire and restore an additional car significantly boosts the department’s capacity to deliver real-world technical skills.

    “As senior students, we are expected to leave behind a meaningful project as our legacy,” said Julie M. Soe, a member of the class. “We came together, discussed our options, and decided to buy and repair a vehicle. It wasn’t easy. The car had major issues with the engine, lights, oil system, and brakes. But we stayed focused, worked as a team, and today we’re proud to hand it over to the department.”

    “During our first year, we had no proper workshop and worked outside in the sun,” added Samuel P. Borbor, senior student and chair of the class project committee. “Now, with EU support, we have a workshop, tools, and a brand-new vehicle. This motivated us to take on our own project. Having two vehicles instead of one makes a huge difference. It allows us to actually practice what we learn, and I even got to use the electronic fault scanning machine for the first time.”

    Instructors praised the students for their initiative and commitment. “The confidence I had in these students has been fully justified,” said John Charlie, an automotive instructor at BWI. “Seeing them select, plan, and execute this project on a live engine is a dream come true. It shows they are ready for the industry.”

    “This project clearly demonstrated teamwork, problem-solving, and responsibility, qualities every good technician needs,” added Worlubah Mulbah, another instructor. “Their cooperation and willingness to share ideas were impressive.”

    Since 2018, the European Union (EU), through its Youth Rising project implemented by UNIDO, has supported Liberia’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. The project focuses on renovating facilities, training instructors, providing tools and equipment, and updating curricula to deliver high-quality, market-relevant technical education. At BWI, this support included renovated workshops, new training vehicle, modern hand tools/equipment, and electronic diagnostic equipment, creating a strong foundation for practical learning.

    With this additional student-restored vehicle, BWI’s automotive department is now better equipped to prepare graduates for the job market. Instructors plan to replicate similar student-led projects with future classes, ensuring continuous improvement of hands-on learning and fostering a culture of initiative and innovation among Liberia’s future technicians.
