  • MIL-OSI Africa: Comoros: Blue Economy Offers a Transformative Path to Sustainable Growth


    Download logo

    Comoros’ economy shows signs of recovery, surpassing pre-COVID-19 levels. Growth rose from 3 percent in 2023 to 3.4 percent in 2024, driven by household consumption supported by a 5.4 percent increase in remittances and strong services sector performance. Average annual inflation declined from 8.5 to 5.0 percent in 2024, reflecting the stabilization of global commodity prices and lower inflation in the Eurozone. Growth is projected to reach 4 percent by 2027, fueled by consumption and planned investments. However, poverty is projected to decline only slightly, due to modest GDP growth, high inequality, and weak social protection. Using the lower middle-income poverty line of $3.65 per day, the poverty rate is estimated at 38.1 percent in 2024 and expected to fall marginally to 37.2 percent in 2025.

    “Persistent poverty and high inequality in Comoros reflect deep regional disparities and structural challenges. Low labor participation, underemployment, and limited access to quality education continue to hold back productivity and incomes. While remittances offer short-term relief, they cannot replace a dynamic, self-sustaining economy,” said Boubacar-Sid Barry, World Bank Resident Representative in Comoros. “Without bold reforms, poverty may deepen. The World Bank is committed to supporting Comoros on its path toward more inclusive and sustainable growth.”

    The first edition of the Comoros Economic Update: An Ocean of Opportunities from the World Bank highlights that, without addressing structural barriers to investment and external competitiveness, growth will remain fragile. This will hamper job creation and income growth needed to reduce poverty and strengthen resilience to future shocks. The report also warns of significant downside risks. Comoros remains highly vulnerable to climate-related disasters, while rising fiscal pressures, contingent liabilities from state-owned enterprises, and a fragile banking sector increase macroeconomic risks. The current account deficit is expected to widen in the medium-term due to structural trade imbalances and infrastructure-driven imports, emphasizing the need for export diversification, stronger external buffers, and sustainable financing strategies.

    The blue economy offers a transformative opportunity for Comoros to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth, according to the focus section of this report. With targeted reforms and strategic investments, it has the potential to elevate Comoros to upper-middle-income status by 2050, requiring sustained annual GDP growth of 6.1 percent. Fisheries have demonstrated strong performance, averaging 11.4 percent of GDP between 2018 and 2024. Modernizing the sector could increase its contribution to 16 percent by 2035. Marine tourism also holds significant promise, with the potential to quadruple visitor arrivals by 2030 and contribute over 6 percent of GDP by mid-century. Integrated development of eco-tourism, sustainable fisheries, and marine conservation can further promote inclusive growth while protecting natural ecosystems. However, achieving this vision will depend on restoring natural capital, expanding renewable energy, upgrading infrastructure, and strengthening environmental safeguards.

    “Comoros stands at a turning point. The shift toward services and the blue economy has the potential to make Comoros a regional leader in sustainability. By 2040, services could contribute nearly two-thirds of GDP, with tourism and fisheries driving inclusive growth. Strong governance and sustained investment in these sectors can unlock lasting opportunities for people and protect the country’s natural wealth,” said Patrick John McCartney, Senior Economist at the World Bank in Comoros and author of the report.

    A well-executed blue economy strategy can position Comoros as a regional leader in sustainable marine resource management while driving economic diversification, job creation, and resilience. Fully leveraging the synergies between fisheries, tourism, and conservation will be key to maximizing economic benefits while protecting vital natural assets. Strategic investments in governance, infrastructure, market access, and environmental sustainability can help transform the blue economy into a pillar of national development. This vision aligns with the objectives of the Plan Comoros Émergent 2030 (PCE 2030). By capitalizing on its rich marine resources, Comoros can pave the way for a more prosperous and sustainable future, achieving its ambition of reaching upper-middle-income status by 2050.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Illegal alien, wife who scammed elderly, others out of more than $3 million sentenced to 15 years following investigation by ICE Houston

    Source: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    HOUSTON — An illegal alien from Nigeria and his wife have both been sentenced for operating a nationwide fraud ring that targeted elderly victims and other vulnerable populations using romance scams and other financial schemes.

    The investigation that exposed and dismantled the scheme was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations Houston.

    Darlington Akporugo, a 47-year-old illegal alien from Nigeria, and his wife Jasmin Sood, a 37-year-old Houston resident, were sentenced June 24 to 188 months and 121 months in prison, respectively, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. Akporugo pleaded guilty earlier this year on Feb. 28, while Sood pleaded guilty Dec. 17, 2024. Both must also serve three years of supervised release following their sentences and are required to pay full restitution of $3,123,073.

    “Romance scams and other financial schemes like this exploit our nation’s elderly and vulnerable populations out of their hard-earned retirement savings and other critical funding that they need to survive,” said HSI Houston Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “As a result, they are often left emotionally devastated and financially ruined with limited options for recovery once the money has been laundered out of the U.S. Thanks to the courage of the victims in this case who came forward quickly to report it to law enforcement, we were able to successfully track down the two criminals responsible and hold them accountable before they could take advantage of additional victims.”

    At the hearing, four victims testified about the couple’s persistent lies and false promises, which led them to send large sums of money. One victim told the court how the pair coerced her into buying a luxury vehicle and renting a mansion for them. Authorities arrested the couple while they were driving the victim’s vehicle and living in her rented home. In handing down the sentence, the court described the scheme as heartless and far-reaching, noting Akporugo and Sood deliberately targeted older women, including several widows.

    Akporugo admitted to leading the long-running romance scheme based in Houston that targeted victims from Chicago to Kentucky. He and others lured victims through online romances and convinced them to send money to bank accounts he controlled. Sood created fake businesses and bank accounts under aliases and used disguises to deposit the funds.

    To carry out the scheme, Akporugo and his co-conspirators used fake names on social media to gain victims’ trust and persuade them to invest in nonexistent businesses or provide funds for invented personal circumstances. Akporugo admitted to directing victims — mostly older individuals — to send money through platforms like Facebook. The funds were spent extravagantly or passed to co-defendants.

    He also admitted to having victims open lines of credit in his name and, in one case, having the victim purchase a luxury vehicle for his personal use. Authorities identified over 25 victims during the multiyear scheme.

    Losses from the fraud ring’s operation total more than $3 million.

    Both will remain in custody pending transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Carter prosecuted the case.

  • MIL-OSI USA: The Justice Department Files Complaint Against the District Court of Maryland for Ordering Automatic Injunctions on Federal Immigration Enforcement Actions

    Source: US State of California

    WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Justice announced the filing of a complaint against the U.S. District Court of Maryland for implementing a “Standing Order” that automatic injunctions be issued for federal immigration enforcement actions. This order requires the court clerk to automatically enter an injunction against removing or challenging the legal status of any alien detained in Maryland who files a habeas petition. In doing so, the District Court defies procedural and substantive requirements for issuing preliminary injunctions, flouts congressional intent, and violates Supreme Court precedent.

    “President Trump’s executive authority has been undermined since the first hours of his presidency by an endless barrage of injunctions designed to halt his agenda,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.  “The American people elected President Trump to carry out his policy agenda: this pattern of judicial overreach undermines the democratic process and cannot be allowed to stand.”

    Since the beginning of the new administration, district courts have abused their Article III powers by interfering with Executive Branch prerogatives. To date, district courts have entered more nationwide injunctions in the first 100 days of the administration than in the 100 years from 1900 to 2000. The District Court of Maryland’s automatic injunctions order is yet another egregious example of unlawful judicial overreach into the Executive Branch’s ability to enforce and administer federal law.

    This is the latest action taken by the Department of Justice to reign in unlawful judicial overreach.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Record 769 arrests and USD 65 million in illicit pharmaceuticals seized in global bust

    Source: Interpol (news and events)

    25 June 2025

    Operation reveals growing demand for semaglutides and peptides as ‘lifestyle enhancers’

    SINGAPORE – An INTERPOL-coordinated operation across 90 countries has resulted in the seizure of 50.4 million doses of illicit pharmaceuticals worth USD 65 million, highlighting the alarming scale of the global trade in unapproved and counterfeit medicines.

    Operation Pangea XVII, which took place from December 2024 to May 2025, saw the arrest of 769 suspects and the dismantling of 123 criminal groups worldwide.

    The seizures and arrests are the largest in the operation’s 17-year history.

    Nervous system agents, including psychostimulants, anti-anxiety drugs, and medications for Parkinson’s disease, topped the list as the most seized product type, with erectile dysfunction medicines, the second highest.

    Other commonly seized product types include anabolic steroids, anti-diabetic medicines, anti-smoking products, dermatological agents, health supplements, herbal products and psychotherapeutic agents.

    David Caunter, Director pro tempore of Organized and Emerging Crime at INTERPOL, said:

    “Fake and unapproved medications are a serious risk to public health. They can include dangerous or illegal ingredients potentially resulting in severe illness, or even death.

    “The rapid growth of online platforms has made it easier for these unsafe drugs to reach people as well as opening new opportunities for criminal networks to exploit.

    “Working together through Operation Pangea, countries are taking action to protect people’s health and keep healthcare systems safe.”

    Ethiopian authorities discovered illicit pharmaceuticals hidden inside a container.

    Seizures of anti-diabetic medication in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

    Customs inspection at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.

    Inspection at a warehouse in Malaysia.

    Illicit pharmaceuticals seized in Türkiye.

    Illicit pharmaceuticals seized in Malaysia.

     

    Growing demand for anti-diabetic medications and peptide supplements

    The operation revealed growing demand for anti-diabetic drugs and peptide supplements, driven by increasing self-medication, among other factors.

    This trend is being driven by the widespread promotion and availability of these medicines across social media and online marketplaces, creating lucrative and relatively low-risk opportunities for criminal networks selling low-quality or counterfeit products.

    Data from participating countries indicate increasing circulation of illicit anti-diabetic medicines globally due to their off-label weight loss effects, with unapproved and potentially fake drugs seized in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

    Estimates suggest that a single semaglutide pen may sell for several hundred US dollars on the secondary market.

    The seizures corroborate recent alerts from the World Health Organization and various national health regulatory agencies warning of emerging risks associated with GLP-1-related injectable drugs.

    Operation Pangea XVII revealed another emerging trend – growing demand for peptide supplements for their perceived cosmetic and performance-enhancing benefits, especially in high-income countries across Europe, North America and Oceania.

    These supplements, such as BPC-157, ipamorelin, and melanotan, remain unapproved in many regions due to potential health risks and the lack of sufficient human trials, and until recently, seizures of such peptide-based biologically active substances were rare.

    Ethiopian authorities discovered illicit pharmaceuticals hidden inside a container.

    Illicit pharmaceuticals seized in Argentina.

    Unapproved pregabalin medicines seized in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom.

    Suspected counterfeit tramadol and other medicines seized in Gabon.

    Illicit pharmaceuticals found in a clandestine clinic in Mozambique.

    Illicit erectile dysfunction medicines seized in Bulgaria.

    Operational highlights

    In total, law enforcement agencies worldwide launched 1,728 investigations and issued 847 search warrants targeting criminal networks engaged in the illicit distribution of pharmaceutical products.

    93 per cent of the illicit pharmaceuticals seized lacked regulatory approvals from national health authorities.

    Such products may contain counterfeit, substandard or falsified substances which have not been identified.

    The remaining seven per cent were confirmed as either counterfeit, diverted, or misbranded products.

    Australia recorded the largest seizures globally, with psychostimulants such as modafinil and armodafinil being the most common category seized nationally. This was followed by anti-smoking pouches and erectile dysfunction medicines.

    Professor Tony Lawler, Head of Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) said:

    “During this operation, the TGA assessed over 9,500 imports referred by the Australian Border Force and facilitated the seizure of over 5.2 million units of unlawfully imported therapeutic goods, including products that were found to be substandard or falsified.

    This operational partnership represents a significant disruption of dangerous medicines from entering our community, and diversion of profits from those that would usually benefit from the illegal sale and supply.”

    Large seizures of various illicit pharmaceuticals were similarly reported in Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, among other countries. 

    Operation Pangea XVII also saw the shutdown of approximately 13,000 criminal-linked websites, social media pages, channels, and bots used to market and sell illegal or falsified medicines.

    Malaysia removed the greatest number of online listings (7,000), followed by Russia, Ireland, Singapore and Iran. The five countries collectively accounted for 96 per cent of all listings taken down.

    In Burkina Faso, 816,000 tablets including analgesics and anti-inflammatories were discovered hidden in vehicles.

    In Mexico, authorities intercepted 27,000 clonazepam tablets and 20,000 alprazolam tablets passing through a courier facility in Tijuana.

    In Portugal, anabolic steroids were discovered in eight prisons across the country, unveiling evidence of a criminal network smuggling illicit substances into correctional facilities.

    Notes to Editor

    Operation Pangea is an annual INTERPOL operation targeting the online sale of illicit pharmaceuticals. The 17th edition of the operation marked a departure from previous iterations with enforcement action taking place over six months instead of the traditional one week. This extended duration allowed for a more comprehensive and sustained effort to disrupt criminal networks.

    Additional support was provided by national health regulatory agencies, Europol, the International Narcotics Control Board, the Pharmaceutical Security Institute, the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Universal Postal Union, the World Customs Organization and the World Health Organization.

    The following countries participated in Operation Pangea XVII: Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Costa Rica, Curacao, Cyprus, Czech Rep., Democratic Rep. of Congo, Denmark, Dominican Rep., Ecuador, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Georgia, Greece, Guyana, Hong Kong (China), India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Jamaica, Kuwait, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Palestine, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Rep San Marino, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Serbia, South Africa, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, St Lucia, Sweden, Thailand, Togo, Türkiye, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

  • MIL-OSI: Nerve Calm: Exploring the Science and Safety Behind a Popular Natural NerveCalm Supplement

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOCA RATON, FL, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In 2025, the conversation around nerve health is changing. Once seen as a niche concern limited to aging adults or those with severe physical injuries, nerve discomfort is now understood as a growing issue with broader implications for stress management, lifestyle health, and aging wellness. Amidst this shift, one product is making quiet but measurable strides: Nerve Calm.

    As its name suggests, Nerve Calm is built around a singular mission—supporting calmer, more resilient nerve function through scientifically informed, natural means. As millions of individuals report experiences with tingling sensations, sharp discomfort in extremities, and general nerve sensitivity, this supplement is emerging as a thoughtful response to a rising need.

    What Is Nerve Calm?

    Nerve Calm is a nutraceutical formula developed to promote neurological wellness, especially in cases involving nerve overactivity, age-related degeneration, or inflammation-linked sensitivity. Unlike conventional nerve medications, which may involve dependency or numb broad nerve pathways, Nerve Calm offers a natural, non-pharmaceutical alternative.

    The formula contains carefully selected bioactive compounds that work together to support calm nerve signaling, ease physical tension, and encourage circulation to nerve-rich tissues—particularly in the hands, feet, lower back, and neck.

    Built for daily use, Nerve Calm targets the root systems of nerve dysfunction, aiming to support the body’s inherent capacity to repair and rebalance itself. This includes modulating inflammation, improving nerve insulation, and providing essential micronutrients for neurological resilience.

    Why Modern Lifestyles May Be Harming Nerve Health

    According to official website, In today’s hyper-connected world, the average adult spends more hours seated, staring at screens, and consuming processed foods than ever before. This shift has quietly taken a toll—not only on cardiovascular health and metabolism but also on the nervous system. Repetitive postures, nutrient-depleted diets, chronic inflammation, and constant digital stimulation are emerging as key contributors to nerve-related discomfort and dysfunction.
    Poor circulation, blood sugar instability, and vitamin deficiencies—especially B-vitamins—can lead to compromised nerve signaling over time. What once seemed like occasional tingling or fatigue may gradually evolve into persistent burning sensations, numbness, or unexplained nerve sensitivity.
    Compounding this challenge is the body’s natural aging process, which slows down cellular repair and heightens vulnerability to oxidative stress. These modern pressures accelerate wear and tear on nerve pathways, even among individuals without a clinical diagnosis.
    This is where Nerve Calm enters the conversation—not as a reactionary treatment, but as a proactive solution. Its formula was developed to address the root causes of modern nerve stress, replenishing nutrients, reducing inflammation, and supporting neurological resilience in the face of daily strain. In short, Nerve Calm responds to a modern problem with a modern, natural answer.

    How Nerve Calm Works

    Nerve Calm works by influencing several critical mechanisms of nerve health:

    1. Reducing Neuroinflammation: Chronic inflammation is one of the top contributors to nerve discomfort. Nerve Calm includes anti-inflammatory compounds such as turmeric extract (standardized to curcumin) and alpha-lipoic acid that may help ease pressure on irritated nerve endings.
    2. Supporting Myelin Regeneration: Healthy nerves are coated in a protective layer called myelin. Deficiencies in B-vitamins—especially B1 (thiamine), B6, and B12—can lead to myelin breakdown. Nerve Calm supplies these nutrients in bioavailable forms to assist with restoration and conduction efficiency.
    3. Enhancing Circulation: Poor blood flow can reduce nutrient delivery to nerve tissues. Nerve Calm includes botanicals that promote microcirculation, helping improve oxygen and nutrient access to peripheral nerves.
    4. Balancing Nervous System Activity: Adaptogens like passionflower and feverfew support stress resilience and help modulate the body’s stress response, which can otherwise intensify nerve signal sensitivity.

    By addressing these areas simultaneously, Nerve Calm creates an environment that promotes long-term nerve comfort, rather than masking symptoms.

    Science Behind Its Key Ingredients

    Every ingredient in NerveCalm has been selected based on clinical studies and peer-reviewed research in neurology and integrative medicine. Some of the standout components include:

    • Corydalis yanhusuo: A staple of traditional Chinese medicine, Corydalis has been shown to modulate nerve signaling pathways and help ease mild neuropathic symptoms—a natural, historically grounded option for nerve calming.
    • Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis): Rich in soothing mucilage, this botanical forms a gentle barrier around irritated nerve tissues and supports inflammatory response regulation.
    • California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica): Traditionally used as a nerve tonic, studies suggest it aids in relaxation without heavy sedation—helping promote restorative nerve balance.
    • Prickly Pear Extract (Opuntia spp.): A powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize oxidative stress around nerve fibers, protecting against environmental and metabolic wear.
    • Passionflower Extract: Linked to increased GABA and mild nervous-system relaxation, it provides gentle support to overstimulated nerves as part of the fast-acting complex.
    • Magnesium Glycinate: Known for its bioavailable, gut-friendly form, magnesium aids healthy nerve conduction and muscular relaxation—crucial for overall nerve comfort. 

    By combining these ingredients, NerveCalm delivers a multi-phase, science-backed strategy: it soothes, shields, and supports nerves—promoting gradual restoration and lasting calm without relying on pharmaceuticals.

    Who Created Nerve Calm?

    As per official website getnervecalm.com, The development of NerveCalm was guided by a multidisciplinary team of specialists in nutritional neuroscience, integrative health, and herbal pharmacology. According to the brand’s internal sources, the formula emerged from a two-year development process that analyzed over 300 studies on nerve function, neuroinflammation, and supplement-based nerve recovery.

    Nerve Calm’s parent company operates under a wellness philosophy rooted in three principles:

    • Clinical integrity: Only evidence-supported ingredients make the final formulation.
    • Clean formulation: Free from synthetic fillers, stimulants, and common allergens.
    • Accessibility: Designed to be easy to use, even for aging populations with limited mobility or complex medication schedules.

    The team’s collective mission was simple but impactful: to offer an over-the-counter solution that aligns with the body’s natural systems, without side effects that could interfere with daily life.

    How to Use It Safely

    Nerve Calm is formulated for once- or twice-daily use, depending on the individual’s need and physician recommendations. The capsules are:

    • Easy to swallow
    • Free of stimulants and sedatives
    • Safe to take with or without food

    The company advises users to take Nerve Calm consistently for 30 to 90 days to experience the full spectrum of its benefits. This timeframe allows for cumulative absorption of the nutrients and herbs, supporting gradual but stable improvement.

    Individuals already using prescription medications for nerve discomfort should consult their healthcare provider to ensure there are no interactions. However, because Nerve Calm is stimulant-free and based on nutrients with GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status, it integrates easily with most wellness plans.

    Expert Insights on Nerve Support

    Medical and naturopathic experts have long emphasized the importance of nerve maintenance—particularly after age 40, when cellular renewal begins to slow. According to Dr. Karen Meyer, a nutritional neurologist and board-certified integrative practitioner:

    “Many of my patients with nerve discomfort are surprised to learn how nutrient deficiencies, unmanaged stress, and even blood sugar imbalance can affect nerve signaling. Supplements like Nerve Calm, which combine anti-inflammatory agents with B-complex vitamins, offer an approach that supports both short-term relief and long-term nerve wellness.”

    Her perspective reflects a broader shift in clinical practice—one where natural, preventive interventions are being used alongside (or in place of) pharmaceutical approaches, especially for milder to moderate cases.

    Real-World Applications for Adults 40+

    Adults over the age of 40 make up the majority of Nerve Calm’s user base—and for good reason. This is the demographic most commonly affected by nerve-related issues such as:

    • Peripheral tingling in hands and feet
    • Postural nerve compression from sedentary work
    • Age-related nerve degeneration
    • Lingering nerve sensitivity after injury or surgery

    Many users have also reported benefits related to mobility, grip strength, and improved comfort during nighttime rest—times when nerve discomfort is often at its peak. For those in physically demanding professions, such as tradespeople or nurses, Nerve Calm also offers ongoing maintenance support after long hours of movement and strain.

    Safety, Manufacturing, and Quality Control

    As per official website getnervecalm.com, From a safety standpoint, Nerve Calm is formulated under strict manufacturing protocols. Each capsule is produced in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility in the United States, ensuring consistency and regulatory compliance.

    Key safety measures include:

    • Third-party lab testing for purity and potency
    • Non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly sourcing
    • No artificial preservatives or chemical binders

    Moreover, the product is shelf-stable for 18–24 months and comes in recyclable packaging with clear usage instructions, making it both eco-conscious and user-friendly.

    The absence of known allergens, soy, or dairy makes Nerve Calm widely suitable for most dietary restrictions, while its lack of sedating ingredients ensures it won’t interfere with work, driving, or cognitive clarity.

    As of mid-2025, Nerve Calm is available exclusively through the official website. This direct-to-consumer model was adopted to maintain pricing integrity and reduce the risk of counterfeit products—a growing concern in the supplement space.

    Each order is backed by a satisfaction guarantee and ships in discreet packaging. Bulk orders, monthly subscriptions, and single-bottle purchases are all supported, with discounts for first-time users and bundled options for long-term plans.

    The company recommends avoiding third-party marketplaces to ensure authenticity and ingredient quality. Counterfeit or expired products sold on unauthorized sites may not match clinical safety standards or batch test requirements.

    Nerve Calm and Sleep: Supporting Restorative Regeneration

    Nighttime is when the nervous system repairs and resets. Yet, for many experiencing nerve discomfort, sleep is when symptoms peak—resulting in restless legs, tingling hands, or jolts of pain that disrupt deep rest.
    Nerve Calm’s botanical adaptogens and anti-inflammatory nutrients may help calm nighttime nerve agitation, promoting better-quality sleep without drowsiness or medication hangovers.
    Its support for blood flow and oxygen delivery also complements the body’s natural nocturnal repair cycles, making it a wellness ally for those seeking regenerative rest.

    Closing Thought: A Quiet Evolution in Nerve Support

    Nerve Calm’s rise isn’t marked by celebrity endorsements or aggressive advertising. Instead, its strength lies in the quiet endorsement of those who use it—older adults reclaiming restful nights, professionals easing daily discomfort, and wellness practitioners recommending it as a safe alternative to aggressive interventions.

    As the landscape of neurological self-care continues to evolve, the success of Nerve Calm speaks to a broader cultural and scientific movement. One that values precision nutrition, natural support, and respectful integration with the body’s own healing capabilities.

    In a world where overstimulation and chronic stress affect nearly every system, Nerve Calm offers something rare: a supplement that works in harmony with the nervous system rather than against it.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Congressman McGarvey Introduces Legislation to Cap Drug Prices for Over 270,000 Kentucky Seniors, People With Disabilities

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Morgan McGarvey (Kentucky-03)

    June 25, 2025

    Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) and Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) introduced the Cutting Copays Act, which would cut the cost of generic prescription drugs to $0 for over 270,000 Kentucky seniors and people with disabilities.

    “The cost of prescription drugs is out of control and far too often, Americans have to choose between paying for the medication they need and putting food on the table,” said Congressman Morgan McGarvey. “My bipartisan bill cuts the cost of these life-saving drugs for 14 million Americans, including over 270,000 Kentucky seniors and people with disabilities.”

    “Record inflation has driven up the cost of everyday essentials, hitting those on fixed incomes the hardest,” said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “Research shows that we can improve health outcomes for our most vulnerable seniors by eliminating barriers to disease management and medication adherence. Removing cost-sharing for generic medications in Medicare Part D’s Low Income Subsidy Program is a commonsense step. It encourages the use of lower-cost, equally effective alternatives to expensive brand-name drugs—ultimately lowering overall healthcare costs. No senior should ever have to choose between buying groceries and affording their prescriptions. Eliminating these copayments will help ease that burden and ensure better access to essential care.”

    The bipartisan Cutting Copays Act would eliminate all copays on generic drugs for seniors and people with disabilities on the Medicare Part D’s Low Income Subsidy (LIS) program, also known as Extra Help. Over 14 million Americans rely on the LIS program, including over 270,000 Kentuckians.

    In addition to reducing costs for seniors, the bill incentivizes generic use instead of more expensive brand-name drugs.

    Source: City of Derby

    Inclusion is at the heart of our work at the council, and this week we’ve published our new Local Area Inclusion Plan, setting out clearly how we’re tackling important issues such as health, community, and job opportunities for Derby’s children and young people, particularly for those who with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and those in Alternative Provision (AP). 

    Following consultation with over 2,000 Derby stakeholders, including schools, children and young people, parent/carers and families, we’ve set out three core aims, underpinned with objectives and practical plans to make sure that children and young people ages 0-25 are supported to achieve strong outcomes and positive destinations. 

    The three interconnected aims are:

    • Aim 1 – Champion an ambitious and inclusive city
    • Aim 2 – Meet the needs of our children at the right time and place
    • Aim 3 – A strong, collaborative system that helps our children live their best life.

    Councillor Paul Hezelgrave, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Skills, describes the importance of this collaborative approach to strategy:

    Our children and young people deserve the very best from those who are making decisions on their behalf. Through co-production with these youngsters, this plan sets out how we effectively prepare them for the future and get them closer to the labour market, developing clear pathways with support from businesses.

    This ensures that Derby’s young people feel supported, empowered and included, and that their voice has been heard and acted upon.

    At its core, the Local Area Inclusion Plan promotes inclusion across the community and in mainstream settings, finding ways to support young people earlier and reducing the pressures on specialist services. In consultation with young people, the plan sets out six key outcomes that Derby’s young people have stated are vital to living their best life.

    These are:

    • I have real-life experiences, learning opportunities, good careers advice and guidance, and insight into the world of work
    • I have a plan for my future
    • I am active, independent and take part in my local community
    • I enjoy good physical and mental health and live a healthy lifestyle 
    • I am supported to dream big
    • Those that care for me understand how they can help me and realise my potential.

    Andy Smith CBE, Strategic Director of People Services, explains:

    Every child in Derby deserves to be seen, heard, and supported to thrive. This plan is our commitment—to work together across services so children, young people, and their families get the right help at the right time, for the brightest futures possible.

    Sharon Buckby, Director of Learning, Inclusion and Skills, is confident that this plan will lead to better outcomes for Derby’s children and young people. She said:

    Our holistic approach to inclusion means that we are supporting children and young people at the right time, in the right place with a focus on early intervention.

    We do also understand that there is a need for specialist intervention in some cases, and this plan looks to address some of those challenges with long waits for assessment.  We are passionate about supporting every young person to achieve their potential.

    Jo Hunter, Deputy Chief Nurse, highlighted the collaborative nature of the work:

    Collaborative working across the local area, knowledge exchange and an understanding of experiences of the system has really strengthened our approach to inclusion.

    Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to areas of need means our response can be strengths based, insightful and targeted, leading to the effective use of resources and best possible outcomes for young people with physical disabilities and special educational needs.

    The Local Area Inclusion Plan is available to read on our website, in an easily digestible, at-a-glance format.

    Press release

    MHRA seizes 7.7 million doses of illegal medicines and removes hundreds of illegal online listings as part of Operation Pangea

    Operation Pangea brings together health regulators, customs authorities, law enforcement agencies, and private sector partners to tackle the threat posed by global criminal networks

    The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has seized almost eight million doses of illegal medicines as part of an annual global coordinated operation to tackle the illegal online sale of medicines and medical devices.

    Operation Pangea, coordinated by Interpol and involving around 90 countries, is the world’s largest initiative of its kind. It brings together health regulators, customs authorities, law enforcement agencies, and private sector partners to tackle the threat posed by criminal networks operating in the global supply of illegal medicines.

    This year’s operation took place between December 2024 and May 2025. Working with law enforcement partners, the MHRA’s Criminal Enforcement Unit (CEU) seized 7.7 million doses of illicit medicines with an estimated value of £17.2m. Among the products seized in the UK were various prescription-only medications including powerful painkillers, anti-depressants and sleeping pills.

    The CEU also coordinated several arrest operations, denied gangs access to almost £1.4m in criminal profits, and removed 367 websites and social media accounts offering medical products to the public illegally.

    Do not self-prescribe.

    Self-diagnosis and self-medication can be very dangerous. If you have a concern about your health, seek advice from a healthcare professional and only obtain medicines from a trusted source.

    Visit the #FakeMeds website for tools and resources to help people purchase medication or medical devices safely online.

    Andy Morling, who heads the MHRA’s Criminal Enforcement Unit (CEU), said:

    Criminals trade in illegal medicines for no other reason than to make money. Not only are these people breaking the law, but they also have no regard for your health.

    Buying medicines from unverified sources, online or elsewhere, means there is no guarantee that the products are safe or effective. Some can contain dangerous or illegal ingredients that could result in severe illness, addiction or even death.

    People also need to be aware that turning to illegal online sellers can leave them exposed to bank fraud and identity theft.

    This year’s operation is another example of how the MHRA and its international partners are joining forces to tackle the criminal gangs causing so much misery and harm around the world.

    Notes to editors

    • Anyone who suspects they are having a side effect from a medicine are encouraged to talk to their doctor, pharmacist or nurse and report it directly to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme, either through the Yellow Card website or by searching the Google Play or Apple App stores for MHRA Yellow Card.
    • The MHRA’s Accredited Financial Investigators are authorised by the National Crime Agency under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). They support investigations by tracing, freezing, and confiscating assets linked to crime, including money laundering and the illegal supply of medicines. Their work includes seizing cash, valuable items, and freezing bank accounts or cryptocurrency suspected of criminal origins. The Home Office’s Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS) allows a proportion of the proceeds of crime recovered under POCA, to be redistributed to agencies involved in the asset recovery process. The Home Office encourages agencies to invest ARIS funds to drive up performance on asset recovery or, where appropriate, to fund local crime fighting priorities for the benefit of the community.
    • Operation Pangea is a global initiative coordinated by INTERPOL that targets the illegal online sale and distribution of unlicensed and counterfeit medicines and medical devices. Involving police, customs, health regulators, and private sector partners across approximately 90, the operation aims to protect public health by disrupting criminal networks and raising awareness of the dangers of buying medicines from unregulated sources.
    • The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating all medicines and medical devices in the UK by ensuring they work and are acceptably safe.  All our work is underpinned by robust and fact-based judgements to ensure that the benefits justify any risks. 
    • The MHRA is an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care.

    Speech

    UN Human Rights Council 59: UK statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls

    UK Statement for the Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls. Delivered by the UK’s Permanent Representative to the WTO and UN, Simon Manley.

    Thank you Mr Vice President and Special Rapporteur for your report on your visit to the UK in February last year under the previous Government. I have listened carefully to your comments this morning.

    Tackling violence against women and girls, both domestically and internationally, is a top priority for the UK.

    Special Rapporteur, we note that you highlighted several positive elements of the UK’s domestic response, including:

    • robust legislation covering sexual violence, domestic abuse and modern slavery and human trafficking;
    • criminal offences covering female genital mutilation and forced marriage;
    • measures taken to prevent and improve employers’ responses to workplace harassment;
    • an expansive definition of domestic abuse, which includes emotional abuse, coercive or controlling behaviour and economic abuse and recognises that children can be victims of domestic abuse;
    • measures to tackle technology-facilitated violence, particularly the Online Safety Act 2023; and
    • the strength of civil society organisations.

    Nevertheless, we recognise that there are several areas for improvement that are relevant to the Special Rapporteur’s comments on the UK, such as:

    • ensuring the sustainable provision of services for women affected by violence and abuse;
    • ensuring children under the age of 16 receive effective safeguarding and support when they experience teenage relationship abuse; and
    • ensuring more comprehensive and richer data is collected about these crimes and the individuals who commit and experience them.

    We must also ensure sustainable and long-term resources for the implementation of policies and legislation across the four nations of our United Kingdom. Three devolution settlements – one each for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – stipulate matters that are the responsibility of the UK Parliament and others that are the responsibility of the devolved legislatures. It is right that approaches can be tailored to the specific needs of each nation. Nevertheless, the four governments can and will work together to ensure a coherent and effective framework for the safety and security of people across our United Kingdom.

    Mr Vice President,

    The manifesto on which our current Government was elected last summer included the ambition to halve levels of violence against women and girls in a decade – an ambitious aim that requires a transformative approach across government, public services, the private sector and charities.

    Since last year’s election, the Government has introduced several important measures to improve protection for victims of violence against women and girls and ensure perpetrators are held accountable. These include:

    • the rollout of Domestic Abuse Protection Orders in selected areas and the introduction of “Raneem’s Law” strengthening the police’s response domestic abuse by embedding specialists in emergency service control rooms in specific areas;
    • a new package of measures to tackle stalking, including a review of legislation and introducing statutory guidance to set out the process by which the police should release information identifying online stalkers to their victims; and
    • £13 million for a new National Centre for Violence Against Women and Girls and Public Protection, to improve the policing response.

    This year, our Government will publish a new strategy which will set the strategic direction and concrete actions to deliver on that Manifesto pledge to halve levels of violence against women and girls in a decade. This will be underpinned by an evidence-based theory of change to ensure that our approach is informed by the best available evidence.

    Finally, while I have the floor, we note your latest thematic report, Special Rapporteur. We are not going to make a separate statement in relation to that report but I would like to express our support to the joint statement Colombia will deliver today on the use of established terms such as gender-based violence.

    Thank you both.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Taking carbon capture to new heights

    Alberta’s government is investing $5 million from the TIER fund to help launch the world’s first direct air capture centre.  

    Alberta is a global leader in environmentally responsible energy production and reducing emissions, already home to two of the largest carbon capture, utilization and storage facilities operating in North America, and seeing emissions decline across the economy.

    Most of the current technologies used around the world focus on facilities and worksites. Direct air capture offers a potential new way of removing greenhouse gas emissions straight from the air. If successful, the potential is huge.

    Through Emissions Reduction Alberta, $5 million is being invested from the industry-led TIER program to help Deep Sky in the design, build and operation of the world’s first direct air capture innovation and commercialization centre in Innisfail. This funding will help Alberta keep showing the world how to reduce emissions while creating jobs and increasing responsible energy production.

    “We don’t need punitive taxes, anti-energy regulations or nonsensical production caps to reduce emissions. Our approach is to support industry, Alberta expertise and innovation by helping to de-risk new technology. Direct air capture has some potential and is being looked at in other jurisdictions, so it’s great to see companies choosing Alberta as a place to invest and do business in.”

    Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas

    “Alberta companies are leaders in developing carbon capture and storage technology. Deep Sky has the potential to take the next major step in decarbonization through direct air capture. These advancements and investments through the TIER fund are a major reason why global demand is increasing for our responsibly produced energy products.”

    Brian Jean, Minister of Energy and Minerals

    “Investing in Deep Sky supports Alberta’s global leadership in emissions reduction. This project accelerates cutting-edge carbon removal technologies, creates jobs and builds a platform for innovation. By capturing legacy emissions, it complements other climate solutions and positions Alberta at the forefront of a growing carbon removal economy.”

    Justin Riemer, CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta

    “We are thrilled to be supported by the Government of Alberta through Emissions Reduction Alberta’s investment to help deliver a world first in carbon removals right here in Alberta. This funding will be instrumental in scaling direct air capture and creating an entirely new economic opportunity for Alberta, Canada and the world.”

    Alex Petre, CEO, Deep Sky

    Deep Sky is helping establish Alberta as a global leader in carbon removal – an emerging field that is expected to grow exponentially over the next decade. The new centre is located on a five-acre site and will feature up to 10 direct air capture units, allowing multiple technologies and concepts to be tested at once. Starting this summer, Deep Sky Alpha’s units will begin pulling in air, trapping carbon dioxide, transporting it by truck, and safely storing it underground at an approved site in Legal.

    This new technology will give Alberta’s oil and gas, energy and utilities, cement and heavy industry, and agriculture and agri-tech sectors new technologies to reduce emissions, while creating local jobs and reinforcing Alberta’s position as a global leader in responsible energy development. 

    Quick facts

    • Deep Sky aims to capture 3,000 tonnes of emissions each year and estimates creating 80 construction jobs, 15 permanent jobs, and more than $100 million in local economic benefit over the next 10 years, including regional development in rural communities.
    • Research shows that carbon capture technology is safe and effective. Careful site selection and rigorous monitoring serve to ensure the injected carbon dioxide remains sequestered thousands of metres below the surface, with no impact on fresh water, plants or the soil.
    • Provincial funding for this project is delivered through Emissions Reduction Alberta’s Continuous Intake Program, funded by Alberta’s industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Island Community Explores Pathways To Strengthen Energy Reliability

    Source: US National Renewable Energy Laboratory

    U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy to Communities Program Helped Edgartown, Massachusetts, Plan for a Microgrid To Support Municipal Buildings in Emergencies

    There is no bridge to the island of Martha’s Vineyard from mainland Massachusetts: If you want to get there, you have to take a ferry or plane. The island’s remote nature does not discourage tourists from visiting the small town of Edgartown—its population balloons from 5,000 to 25,000 during the warm summer months. But it does present problems for addressing power outages year-round.

    When the tourists pack up their beach umbrellas and head back home, hurricanes and nor’easters are soon to follow. Without easy access to mainland resources, residents need independent, resilient energy sources to weather such storms.

    “Our long-term plan is to make our municipal facilities sufficiently resilient so that we won’t have to worry about power during emergencies,” said Edgartown Energy Committee Associate Alan Strahler. Strahler has been working with the committee since 2017 to identify projects to enhance energy efficiency and resilience. “Our goal is to provide up to seven days of local independent operation of emergency facilities during power outages in both winter and summer.”

    To reach this goal, Edgartown plans to develop microgrids at town buildings. In a microgrid, the buildings can be powered by solar photovoltaics (PV), battery energy storage, grid power, or a backup generator. The microgrid normally selects the cheapest energy source, but when grid power goes out, it operates independently using the remaining energy sources.

    In pursuing this plan for its community, Edgartown sought expertise from researchers through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Energy to Communities (E2C) program. E2C’s Expert Match offers a three- to four-month technical assistance program that pairs communities with researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and other national laboratories to help them address near-term energy goals.

    “Edgartown wants to create its first microgrid designed to support town buildings in power outages,” said Amanda Krelling, a researcher with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and lead for Edgartown’s Expert Match support. “Microgrids would create more security and safety for their residents while they potentially have to wait for someone off of the island to come fix the outage.”

    Generating Options Tailored to Community Needs

    The community applied to E2C Expert Match with a microgrid location in mind: the Edgartown Highway Department and its adjacent campus.

    “We wanted to understand how we could describe a project that would be worth the investment and have the proper benefits in terms of energy generation, resilience, and savings from a quantitative perspective,” Strahler said.

    The campus consists of five buildings, ranging from 300 square feet to 10,000 square feet. Krelling began the analysis process with collection and review of available building data, including utility bills, building materials, satellite imagery, and even roof color.

    “Roof color can affect energy consumption. Light-colored roofs reflect more solar radiation and dark-colored roofs absorb more,” Krelling said. “So, it is an important detail to consider when you are modeling electric loads for buildings.”

    The highway garage building is one of several buildings that can accommodate solar panels on the Edgartown Highway Department campus. Photos from Edgartown Highway Department

    The building data that Krelling collected helped her calibrate models for the Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model (DER-CAM). DER-CAM describes changes in building energy loads through different generation options and allows users to optimize the portfolio, size, and placement of distributed energy resources based on specific goals.

    Using DER-CAM, Krelling created generation options based on four strategies, moving from lowest generation potential to the highest. The first strategy, with a PV capacity of 27 kilowatts and no battery storage, focused solely on meeting electrical loads during power outages and reducing energy cost during normal conditions. Strategy two, with 84 kilowatts of PV capacity and 62 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity, and strategy three, with 270 kilowatts of PV capacity and 40 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity, could each support independent building operation during both power outages and normal conditions. Strategy four maximized the total solar PV installation area available with a PV capacity of 429 kilowatts and battery capacity of 39 kilowatt-hours and generated excess energy to be sold to provide town income.

    “Developing solar on an island isn’t always easy because of the limited space. You have to look at the use case of the location and how you can align it with the solar project,” said Edgartown Energy Committee Associate Erich Mettler, who has a professional background in development and operation of utility-scale solar projects. “The Expert Match team did a good job of looking at those different use cases and actually finding ways to make the facility work better.”

    Providing Crucial Insight for Decision-Making

    DER-CAM modeling provided projections for energy generation, cost, and revenue for all four generation strategies, laying out how each could potentially work for the community. This data ultimately gave Edgartown the information they needed to pursue next steps for the microgrid, including studies to further explore and outline the technical feasibility and design. While Expert Match does not directly assist communities with the process of applying for grants, the analysis provided can contribute to a successful application—as it did for Edgartown.

    “We used this information in a grant application for an engineering study of the possible microgrid, and we wound up getting it,” Strahler said, referring to a $30,500 grant received through DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. “I really think one of the reasons we got it is because Expert Match had done all the homework for us. It was a wonderful education and joy for me working with the team, getting the results, and seeing how the modeling worked.”

    The energy generation projected in these strategies also provides an avenue for the community to continue building up the site with additional capabilities, such as an electric vehicle charging station. Further analysis through Expert Match showed that the microgrid’s energy resources could even accommodate a heat pump for space heating of the main building without significantly diminishing the microgrid’s renewable energy output or altering the electric load.

    “It is a very enriching experience to work with these communities,” Krelling said. “Even though this was only an initial analysis, you can see how excited they are about this idea. Our work gave them insight into how they can move forward.”

    The Edgartown energy committee hopes that the lessons learned from this project will go on to benefit the five other towns of Martha’s Vineyard.

    “The island has several energy committees, and if this is successful, I hope that they would look at doing projects similar to this,” Mettler said. “I think this effort can elevate thinking about ways to be more efficient in our energy usage in our community.”

    Expert Match applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Learn more about all of E2C’s program opportunities and apply on the E2C Expert Match webpage.

    E2C connects community-based groups, local governments, utilities, and other organizations with national laboratory experts to close the gaps between communities’ energy ambitions and real-world deployment. The technical assistance offered through E2C can offer meaningful insights around energy decision-making to help communities achieve resilient, abundant, reliable, secure, and affordable energy systems that embody local and regional priorities. For example, E2C analysis can provide insights on the costs and benefits of electric vehicles, geothermal systems, or capturing and storing solar energy. Such analysis provides community-specific information on the funding and support needed to bring energy projects to fruition.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Attorney General James Affirms Hospitals Must Provide Access to Emergency Abortion Care

    Source: US State of New York

    EW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James co-led 21 other attorneys general in a letter reminding hospitals of their obligation to provide emergency abortion care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). In a letter sent to the American Hospital Association on the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Attorney General James and the coalition advised hospitals that their obligation to comply with EMTALA’s emergency abortion care requirement has not changed despite the federal administration’s recent decision to revoke a prior guidance document.

    “When a pregnant patient shows up at an emergency room in need of help, they should never be turned away,” said Attorney General James. “Our hospitals have a legal responsibility to ensure they are providing life-saving care to all patients in need – including emergency abortion care when necessary. It is critically important that providers be aware of this obligation, so that we avoid further tragedy and save as many lives as possible.”

    Since it was enacted in 1986, EMTALA has required Medicare-participating hospitals to provide access to abortion care when it is the treatment necessary to stabilize a pregnant patient with an emergency medical condition. On May 29, 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rescinded guidance that had been issued in 2022 in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The 2022 guidance addressed EMTALA’s requirements to provide access to emergency abortion care, but it also did not change EMTALA’s statutory mandates.

    In the letter, Attorney General James and the coalition explain that the administration’s rescission of the 2022 guidance in no way alters hospitals’ legal obligations under EMTALA. The attorneys general highlight that EMTALA has always required hospitals to provide access to abortion care if it is the treatment necessary to stabilize pregnant patients with an emergency medical condition, even if the state in which they operate has passed laws limiting abortion access. Emergency medical conditions that require stabilizing abortion treatment can include, but are not limited to, ectopic pregnancy, hemorrhaging, preeclampsia, and other significant life-threatening conditions.

    The attorneys general assert that the Trump administration cannot change the law unilaterally through a guidance rescission, and EMTALA continues to remain in full force and effect throughout the country. The attorneys general also explain that continued compliance with EMTALA’s requirements is critical because of the devastating harms that result from denying abortion care to pregnant patients in emergency medical situations. The letter points out that the denial of this essential care increases the risk of death for pregnant patients and can cause irreparable harm, including hysterectomy, fertility loss, kidney failure, brain injury, and limb amputation.

    With this letter, Attorney General James and the coalition are reaffirming their commitment to ensuring that hospitals comply with the law and their commitment to protecting pregnant patients across the country.

    Joining Attorney General James in sending this letter are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia.

    What you need to know: Today marked the start of the final phase of work on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing – a monumental wildlife preservation effort in Southern California.

    LOS ANGELES – Governor Gavin Newsom announced today that the final phase of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing has begun. What is soon to be the world’s largest wildlife crossing will connect open space on both sides of US Highway 101 in Agoura Hills and is expected to be completed by fall 2026.

    “Today, the state is beginning the final phase of construction for what will soon be the largest urban wildlife crossing in the world – all thanks to the visionary work of state, federal, and private partners. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing will soon protect Los Angeles’ native wildlife and over 300,000 drivers daily, as well as provide a cutting-edge model for urban wildlife conservation.”

    The final phase of this project includes extending the wildlife crossing over a two-lane local road. The work involves significant earthmoving, restoration of natural hydrology, protection of heritage oak trees, and coordination with multiple agencies to relocate essential utilities along the freeway corridor.

    The first phase of construction was completed this year and included over 26 million pounds of concrete, 82 bridge girders, vegetated sound walls, habitat rock features, and living soils to support native plant growth. Caltrans and partners laid 6,000 cubic yards of living soil across the bridge structure in preparation for planting this fall, which will include over 50 native species and restore the wildlife habitats both on the crossing and in surrounding open-space areas.

    The public is invited to follow along with construction on the bridge in real-time through its dedicated webcam. 
     

    How we got here

    On Earth Day 2022, Governor Newsom participated in the groundbreaking for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing – a public-private partnership of monumental scope leveraging the expertise and leadership of dozens of organizations and institutions to protect and restore wildlife habitats in Southern California.

    Wildlife crossings are essential to building a network of interconnected conserved lands and waters that protect and restore biodiversity while also supporting transportation infrastructure.

    The habitat connectivity provided by wildlife crossings is critical to the success of California’s 30×30 targets and allows people and nature to thrive together.

    Building wildlife and transportation infrastructure is a key part of the Governor’s build more, faster agenda delivering infrastructure upgrades and thousands of jobs across the state.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Miami, FL, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dextoro, a next-generation decentralized crypto trading mobile app, today announced the official release of the Dextoro Trading Wallet app for Android. This expansion marks a major milestone in the company’s mission to deliver secure, gas-free, and user-friendly crypto trading to a global audience.

    The newly launched Dextoro Android app features a user-first design, real-time trading data, and intuitive controls—making secure, gas-free crypto trading accessible to everyone, everywhere.

    With support for both iOS and Android now complete, Dextoro broadens its reach to millions more users seeking a streamlined and accessible way to engage with digital assets. The Android app is immediately available for download at dextoro.com.

    Simplified Crypto Trading, Now on Android

    The Dextoro Trading Wallet provides a seamless, gas-free trading experience designed to remove the common barriers associated with decentralized finance. Users can onboard without seed phrases, bridges, or complex custodial setups. Built on the high-performance Solana blockchain, the app supports real-time analytics, portfolio tracking, and one-tap trade execution.

    “Launching on Android is a key milestone in our effort to democratize crypto trading,” said Nick Nechanicky, CEO and founder of Dextoro. “We’re focused on building a user experience that makes trading digital assets as easy and secure as possible for everyone—regardless of technical background. With both mobile platforms supported, our goal is to onboard 10 million users by the end of 2025.”

    The app’s modern interface is designed to support users at all levels—from first-time investors to seasoned traders—while eliminating technical friction and unnecessary complexity.

    Strategic Growth and Technology Partnerships

    Since its initial rollout, Dextoro has onboarded over 10,000 users with zero marketing spend, driven by strong user retention and word-of-mouth. Key technology partners—including Turnkey (non-custodial wallets), Birdeye (real-time feeds), and Radium and Meteora (execution protocols)—support a reliable and high-speed backend infrastructure.

    “Our platform delivers performance and simplicity at scale,” said Vitaliy Tsiqulev, CTO of Dextoro. “Thanks to our partners and streamlined architecture, we’re able to offer something that wasn’t possible before—an intuitive, mobile-first platform with secure trade execution that just works.”

It supports trading fee coverage, platform rewards, and additional features through utility-based mechanics.

    Twenty percent of the platform’s fees are allocated to a recurring $DTR buyback and burn mechanism, designed to create value and deflationary pressure over time. This flywheel structure enables sustainable growth while incentivizing token holders and active users.

  • MIL-OSI: ESO’s Auto-Generated Narrative Feature Returns 35,700 Hours to EMS Professionals in First Month

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    AUSTIN, Texas, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ESO, a leading data services and software provider for EMS, fire departments, hospitals, and government agencies, today announced significant adoption and time-savings as a result of its new Auto-Generated Narrative feature. Launched in May 2025, the AI-powered documentation saved over 35,700 hours for EMS professionals within its first month of general availability. Over 1,670 EMS agencies have adopted the feature since May—resulting in up to 80% reduction in total documentation time.

    ESO’s first generation Auto-Generated Narrative feature, included for existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) customers, transforms the traditionally time-consuming patient care report process by generating comprehensive narrative summaries from data captured in patient records from various sources, including speech to text, while maintaining the highest standards of data security and patient privacy. Additionally, ESO’s EHR longitudinal record feature connects patient records across an individual’s medical history and hospital visits, importing medications, allergies and demographics from previous healthcare encounters.

    “Our approach to AI is fundamentally about empowerment,” said John Basmadjian, chief product and technology officer at ESO. “We developed our Auto-Generated Narrative with patients and providers in mind, ensuring it enables the expertise of EMS professionals while maintaining the highest standards of clinical accuracy and professional responsibility. This technology addresses real-world challenges our customers face daily—giving them more time for patient care while ensuring complete, consistent documentation.”

    The feature maintains NEMSIS compliance and includes built-in safeguards that require provider review and approval before finalizing any narrative. Healthcare professionals retain complete control throughout the process, with the ability to edit, augment, modify or regenerate content as needed. The feature is intentionally designed to be entirely optional, giving EMS organizations the option to implement this capability based on their preferences and internal policies.

    “The amount of time our team spends on documentation and reporting has decreased significantly—with crews now reducing their documentation time by 20 minutes per report,” said Jeff Sadtler, chief at West County Fire and EMS. “But what’s most important is that our field crews maintain complete control and responsibility over their documentation. They’re not just accepting what the AI generates, they’re using it as a foundation to supplement, creating accurate, comprehensive reports that truly reflect the care delivered to our patients.”

    The Auto-Generated Narrative feature represents ESO’s continued commitment to innovation with purpose. It accompanies other recent enhancements to ESO’s EHR platform, such as longitudinal record keeping, which enables EMS agencies to access vital patient data before, during and after care for a more holistic view of the patient’s long-term health.

    ESO’s Auto-Generated Narrative feature is now accessible across its EHR platforms, including native iOS, Windows mobile and web applications, and can be activated organization-wide through administrative settings. For more information on ESO, visit www.eso.com.

    ESO is dedicated to improving community health and safety through the power of data. Since its founding in 2004, the company continues to pioneer innovative, user-friendly software to meet the changing needs of today’s global emergency response ecosystem, spanning across dispatch centers, EMS agencies, fire departments, hospitals, and governmental offices.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Cortez Masto, Rosen Secure Close to $34 Million to Support Nevada’s Rural Communities

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Nevada Cortez Masto

    Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) announced that the Department of the Interior (DOI) has awarded $33,801,823 to Nevada counties under the Payments of Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program. PILT payments support government services – including firefighting, law enforcement, road construction, and public education – primarily in rural counties.

    “Nevada’s rural communities rely on PILT funding to complete projects and carry out critical services,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I am pleased to announce this funding – close to a million more than last year – to ensure local governments across the Silver State can continue to deliver for families that call our rural counties home.”

    “I’m committed to making sure that Nevada receives its fair share of federal funding to help support local law enforcement, bolster public education, and fund critically-needed infrastructure repairs,” said Senator Rosen. “I’m proud to have helped secure more than $33 million in PILT funding this year to support rural communities across Nevada so they can afford essential services that benefit our state and help Nevadans succeed.”

    PILT payments are federal payments to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to non-taxable federal lands within those governments’ boundaries. PILT payments help local governments carry out vital services including firefighting and police protection, construction of public schools and roads, and search-and-rescue operations. The payments are made annually for tax-exempt federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (all agencies of the DOI), the U.S. Forest Service (part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture), federal water projects, and some military installations. A full breakdown of the FY2025 PILT payments by county is available here.

    Senator Cortez Masto is fighting to expand the PILT program for low-population counties to secure even more funding for Nevada’s rural communities in the future. In March, she introduced the bipartisan Small County PILT Parity Act, which would allow counties with populations under 5,000 to receive increased PILT payments to create parity with larger counties where per capita funding increases as population decreases. In Nevada, five counties would qualify for increased funding under that bill: Esmeralda, Eureka, Lincoln, Mineral, and Storey.

    Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen are champions for Nevada’s rural communities, working across the aisle to deliver for families. They have also ensured rural Nevada communities have better access to federal funds and services through the Rural Partners Network. In the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, they secured funding for rural schools and over $460 million for broadband. Cortez Masto also made sure the law included her legislation to help rural counties with internet access at local schools and streamline federal broadband funding to improve internet access for rural areas. Cortez Masto has led legislation to support key tourism and outdoor industries in every corner of Nevada through economic development.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Targeting funding at frontline services

    Source: Scottish Government

    Financial strategy and action plan published.

    Savings rising to £2.6 billion in 2029-30 will ensure funding can be targeted at frontline services such as the NHS, social security, action to eradicate child poverty and other priorities.

    Under the five-year Medium Term Financial Strategy and Fiscal Sustainability Delivery Plan the Scottish Government will:

    • increase value for public money, with affordable and sustainable investment plans set out through a Scottish Spending Review in December
    • improve efficiencies and productivity across the public sector by using more technology and automation while improving collaboration between public bodies
    • reform public services, doing more with available resources and prioritising people with the greatest need
    • reduce the public sector workforce by an average of 0.5% every year until 2030 while protecting frontline services
    • invest in preventative measures to reduce demand on services such as health, social care and justice

    The strategy and action plan also include measures to support sustainable, inclusive economic growth and ensure a strategic approach to tax policy that considers longer term impacts and competitiveness.

    Finance Secretary Shona Robison said:

    “With the world facing profound economic uncertainty this Medium Term Financial Strategy is being published in deeply challenging circumstances. Those challenges have been exacerbated by the actions of the UK Government, whose decisions continue to have serious consequences for the delivery of our public services.

    “Managing the impact of Westminster austerity is all too familiar. In spite of this we continue to invest in the people of Scotland, supporting a better paid public sector, delivering high-quality public services and providing welfare support that is not available in other parts of the UK. And we have done this while delivering a balanced budget every single year.

    “Fiscal sustainability is about more than balancing the books – it’s about delivering value, driving reform and making strategic choices that support long-term growth. By focusing on efficient public spending, modernising services, growing our economy and taking a strategic approach to tax, we can build a stronger, fairer Scotland.”

    Background

    Medium Term Financial Strategy 2025

    Fiscal Sustainability Delivery Plan 2025

    Medium-Term Financial Strategy: Ministerial statement – gov.scot

    The Scottish Government’s seventh Medium Term Financial Strategy (MTFS) provides the economic, funding and spending outlooks for the financial years 2025-26 to 2029-30. It also presents the Government’s fiscal strategy to deliver sustainable public finances within the current constitutional settlement.

    A Fiscal Sustainability Delivery Plan (FSDP) is published alongside the MTFS this year, bringing together the actions across government to deliver fiscal sustainability. 

    The FSDP actions include:

    • a Scottish Spending Review that will set a savings target of between £300 million and £700 million a year over the five years
    • improving efficiency and productivity while reforming public services, with savings growing from £600 million to £1.5 billion a year over the five years
    • reducing the public sector workforce by an average of 0.5 per cent every year until 2030, with savings growing from £100 million to £700 million a year

    Exact savings figures will vary on an annual basis.

    These figures incorporate the total £1 billion reduction in corporate functions over five years as set out in the Public Service Reform strategy.

    A framework for the Scottish Spending Review forms part of the MTFS. The review will set out multi-year allocations on capital and resource funding, and will be published alongside the next Budget in December.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Central Park Ponds update – June 2025

    Source: City of Plymouth

    Here are the first pictures of work restarting on the Central Park Ponds Project.

    On Monday, new contractor WBM Groundworks started to bring in all necessary equipment onto site ahead of getting spades back into the ground next week.

    Their first job will be on the playing pitches above the north pond. Work will focus on the relocation of surplus soil and the installation of land drainage before imported permeable soil blend is laid. After that, it’s seeded and the rest of the planting around this pond will be completed.

    These works are likely to take around 12 weeks with some flexibility for the weather but the area will remain fenced off until the new grass is established.

    Because of our ambition to keep all of the excess earth and spoil in the park, the works to replant Reservoir Field will take place after the pitches have been finished.

    These monthly updates on the progress of the scheme will continue but we will also be providing further updates on construction milestones as and when they are complete.

    It’s been a long time coming but we finally have some progress. We look forward to updating you further in the coming weeks.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Local Area Inclusion Plan: How we’re tackling important issues for Derby’s children

    Source: City of Derby

    Inclusion is at the heart of our work at the council, and this week we’ve published our new Local Area Inclusion Plan, setting out clearly how we’re tackling important issues such as health, community, and job opportunities for Derby’s children and young people, particularly for those who with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and those in Alternative Provision (AP). 

    Following consultation with over 2,000 Derby stakeholders, including schools, children and young people, parent/carers and families, we’ve set out three core aims, underpinned with objectives and practical plans to make sure that children and young people ages 0-25 are supported to achieve strong outcomes and positive destinations. 

    The three interconnected aims are:

    • Aim 1 – Champion an ambitious and inclusive city
    • Aim 2 – Meet the needs of our children at the right time and place
    • Aim 3 – A strong, collaborative system that helps our children live their best life.

    Councillor Paul Hezelgrave, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Skills, describes the importance of this collaborative approach to strategy:

    Our children and young people deserve the very best from those who are making decisions on their behalf. Through co-production with these youngsters, this plan sets out how we effectively prepare them for the future and get them closer to the labour market, developing clear pathways with support from businesses.

    This ensures that Derby’s young people feel supported, empowered and included, and that their voice has been heard and acted upon.

    At its core, the Local Area Inclusion Plan promotes inclusion across the community and in mainstream settings, finding ways to support young people earlier and reducing the pressures on specialist services. In consultation with young people, the plan sets out six key outcomes that Derby’s young people have stated are vital to living their best life.

    These are:

    • I have real-life experiences, learning opportunities, good careers advice and guidance, and insight into the world of work
    • I have a plan for my future
    • I am active, independent and take part in my local community
    • I enjoy good physical and mental health and live a healthy lifestyle 
    • I am supported to dream big
    • Those that care for me understand how they can help me and realise my potential.

    Andy Smith CBE, Strategic Director of People Services, explains:

    Every child in Derby deserves to be seen, heard, and supported to thrive. This plan is our commitment—to work together across services so children, young people, and their families get the right help at the right time, for the brightest futures possible.

    Sharon Buckby, Director of Learning, Inclusion and Skills, is confident that this plan will lead to better outcomes for Derby’s children and young people. She said:

    Our holistic approach to inclusion means that we are supporting children and young people at the right time, in the right place with a focus on early intervention.

    We do also understand that there is a need for specialist intervention in some cases, and this plan looks to address some of those challenges with long waits for assessment.  We are passionate about supporting every young person to achieve their potential.

    Jo Hunter, Deputy Chief Nurse, highlighted the collaborative nature of the work:

    Collaborative working across the local area, knowledge exchange and an understanding of experiences of the system has really strengthened our approach to inclusion.

    Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to areas of need means our response can be strengths based, insightful and targeted, leading to the effective use of resources and best possible outcomes for young people with physical disabilities and special educational needs.

    The Local Area Inclusion Plan is available to read on our website, in an easily digestible, at-a-glance format.
