Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 27, 2026 -- DNA My Dog, a pioneer in canine genetic testing with 18 years of data, announces why visual breed identification fails most of the time and what pet owners can do about it.

Ask a shelter worker what breed a dog is, and they will give you an answer. Ask a veterinarian, and they will give you a different one. Ask the dog's owner, and you may get a third. According to research in the field of canine genetics, all three of them are probably wrong.

Visual breed identification, the method used by the overwhelming majority of shelters, veterinarians, and pet owners to classify dogs, has a well-documented accuracy problem. Studies have found that even trained professionals correctly identify the dominant breed in a mixed-breed dog less than half the time. For dogs with more than two breeds in their background, accuracy drops further.

DNA My Dog, which has been analyzing canine genetic samples since 2008, has observed this pattern across hundreds of thousands of tests. The company's breed reference database now covers more than 350 breeds, making it one of the most comprehensive available to consumers, and the gap between what owners believe their dog is and what the DNA actually shows is a consistent finding.

"The breeds people get wrong most often are the ones they are most confident about," said Mindy Tenenbaum, CEO of DNA My Dog and holder of a Master of Science in Veterinary Forensics. "A dog that looks like a pit bull may have almost no bully breed genetics. A dog that looks like a purebred Lab is often carrying four or five other breeds at significant percentages. The visual signal is genuinely unreliable."

Why It Matters Beyond Curiosity

The consequences of misidentification extend well past trivia. In jurisdictions with breed-specific legislation, a dog labeled as a restricted breed based on appearance faces housing restrictions, insurance exclusions, or in some cases, confiscation, regardless of what its DNA actually shows. A genetic test that documents the actual breed composition of the animal can serve as meaningful evidence in those situations.

For veterinarians, incorrect breed assumptions can affect care decisions. Certain breeds carry elevated predispositions to joint conditions, cardiac issues, respiratory challenges, and other heritable health factors. When a vet treats a dog as one breed when the genetic profile is actually another, those predispositions may go unmonitored.

For rescue organizations and shelters, the impact is most direct. Research has consistently shown that dogs with known breed information have higher adoption rates than those whose backgrounds are described as unknown or simply "mix." A dog labeled "pit bull mix" based on physical appearance will attract a different pool of potential adopters than a dog whose DNA test shows it is 40% Labrador, 35% Boxer, and 25% American Staffordshire Terrier, even if both descriptions refer to the same animal.

"DNA testing doesn't change the dog — it changes what we know about them," Tenenbaum said. "The bond between a dog and their future family is always possible. Learning more about their story simply helps that connection begin with greater understanding."

The Most Commonly Misidentified Breeds

Based on DNA My Dog's testing data, the breeds most frequently misidentified by visual assessment include bully-type breeds, which are routinely over-assigned to dogs with little or no relevant genetics, and herding breeds such as Border Collies and Australian Shepherds, whose markings and coat patterns appear in many mixed-breed dogs. Labrador Retrievers are among the most over-represented breed labels in shelter records, assigned to dogs whose DNA reveals a far more complex background.

Testing as a Standard Practice

DNA My Dog offers its breed composition test alongside a health and trait panel that screens for inherited health markers, a canine allergy test, and a patent-pending Canine Genetic Age test. The company has maintained rescue and shelter partnership pricing since its founding, reflecting a belief that genetic testing should be a standard tool in the adoption process rather than a premium add-on.

"We built this company for the rescue community first," Tenenbaum said. "Eighteen years later, that is still who we are building for."

The full DNA My Dog product suite is available at dnamydog.com. Rescue organizations and shelters can contact the company directly for partnership pricing.

COSTA MESA, California, July 27, 2026 -- Personalized Prep, an award-winning test preparation and academic tutoring company founded in 2013, has been named the Best SAT and ACT Tutoring Company in California of 2026 by BestofBestReview.com. Alongside the recognition, the company announced an expansion of its tutoring team, hiring additional tutors who have scored in the 99th percentile on the exams they teach, and expanded virtual scheduling to serve students nationwide.

Founded and led by CEO Sean Yen, Personalized Prep develops customized learning plans through diagnostic assessments, data-driven study strategies, and one-on-one coaching. While the company also offers comprehensive college admissions counseling, its primary focus remains helping students maximize their potential on the SAT, ACT, PSAT, AP Exams, LSAT, and ISEE through individualized instruction rather than one-size-fits-all programs. The announcement reflects the company's continued commitment to providing personalized preparation to students through both in-person and virtual instruction.

A Response to One-Size-Fits-All Tutoring

For years, many students have entered large tutoring programs that follow fixed curricula regardless of individual strengths, weaknesses, or learning styles. Personalized Prep was established to offer an alternative. Every student begins with a diagnostic assessment that identifies where they stand and where the greatest opportunities for growth exist. From that starting point, tutors build a study plan tailored to the student's goals, timeline, and preferred way of learning.

The approach applies across the company's full range of services, from standardized test preparation to general academic tutoring and college admissions counseling. The company emphasizes that meeting students where they are, rather than requiring them to adapt to a rigid system, produces stronger and more durable outcomes.

Mentorship as the Foundation of Learning

Personalized Prep frames its work as mentorship rather than simple content delivery. Tutors build relationships with students, encourage accountability, and instill study habits intended to last well beyond a single exam. According to the company, confidence is often the missing element in a student's performance, and addressing it unlocks measurable gains.

"Education is not about finding the smartest students. It is about helping every student discover what they are capable of," said Sean Yen, CEO and Founder of Personalized Prep. "When students gain confidence, higher scores and stronger outcomes naturally follow."

That philosophy is reflected in the company's motto: "Keep an Open Mind. Stay Positive. Never Give Up." The phrase serves as a reminder to both students and tutors that progress is a process rather than an instant result.

Data-Driven Plans and Family Communication

A central feature of the Personalized Prep model is transparency. Parents receive regular updates on their child's progress, students receive clear action plans, and every lesson is designed around defined goals. The company tracks performance over time so families can see how a student is advancing rather than relying on a single score at the end of a program.

This structure is intended to combine the personalized attention of a boutique operation with the organizational rigor typically associated with large national companies. By matching students with tutors based on both academic needs and personality, the company creates an environment where students feel comfortable enough to take risks and ask questions.

Measurable Results

Since 2013, Personalized Prep students have achieved an average ACT score improvement of 6.3 points and an average SAT score improvement of 213 points, with students averaging a 30% GPA increase through academic tutoring. Ninety percent of the company's students have been admitted to their top-choice schools.

One former student described the experience this way: "Prior to going, I felt hopeless. I tried books, online resources, and even Princeton Review without seeing significant improvement. After only a few months with Personalized Prep, my ACT score increased from 25 to 34, I was accepted to the college I wanted, and I earned merit-based scholarships. It was the best decision I ever made."

Other families have reported similar outcomes, including an ACT increase from 22 to 32 through individualized tutoring, and a student who scored 28 on a first practice ACT and 35 on the first official exam.

Guidance Through the College Admissions Journey

Beyond test preparation, Personalized Prep provides college admissions counseling that includes college selection, application strategy, essay development, interview preparation, and extracurricular planning. By combining tutoring with admissions guidance, the company offers families a single support system throughout high school and the transition to college.

The goal is to make the admissions process more manageable while helping students present themselves authentically and pursue schools that align with their strengths, interests, and long-term goals.

Recognition for Student Achievement

The Best SAT and ACT Tutoring Company in California of 2026 recognition from BestofBestReview.com reflects Personalized Prep's commitment to individualized instruction, diagnostic assessments, one-on-one mentorship, and measurable student progress.

The award follows more than a decade of student-centered instruction built on personalized learning plans and close communication with families. Personalized Prep continues to help students throughout California and across the United States navigate standardized testing and the college admissions process with greater clarity and confidence.

Looking Ahead

Personalized Prep is actively expanding its team, bringing on additional tutors who have scored in the 99th percentile on the exams they teach and who share the company's mentorship-first approach. Each new tutor is trained in the company's diagnostic and progress-tracking methodology so families receive the same individualized experience regardless of which tutor they work with.

The company has also expanded its virtual scheduling, giving families nationwide flexible access to one-on-one instruction alongside its in-person offerings in Southern California. The company views this growth not as a departure from its founding principles but as a reaffirmation of them, a reflection of its belief that every student learns differently and deserves a path built specifically for them.

The Pan Borneo Highway is expected to enhance mobility, improve logistics efficiency and support long-term socio-economic growth by connecting towns, rural communities and key economic corridors. Beyond the physical infrastructure, the project represents a long-term investment in the state's resilience, competitiveness and quality of life.

Spearheaded by Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak as the project's principal team lead, this achievement was executed through UEM Edgenta's critical governance, technical oversight, and project management expertise. Drawing on its experience managing more than RM100 billion worth of major infrastructure projects across Malaysia, the Company ensured every stage of delivery adhered to stringent standards of quality, safety, regulatory compliance and sustainability.

To navigate the physical realities of Sarawak’s vast landscape, UEM Edgenta’s experience in managing mega projects such as the PLUS Highways, the Penang Bridge, and international infrastructure projects contributed to the highway's development. Overseeing a project of this scale meant implementing advanced structural reviews to address deep and unstable soil conditions, engineering resilient solutions to bridge extensive river networks and managing highly complex logistical supply chains across vast, remote distances. By tailoring these engineering solutions to Sarawak’s specific topographical and climate challenges, the technical oversight provided by UEM Edgenta helped ensure that the physical asset is designed to minimise future maintenance costs, reduce environmental impact and maximise structural resilience for decades to come.

Stretching approximately 786 kilometers from Telok Melano in the south to Merapok in the north, Phase 1 of the Pan Borneo Highway represents one of the most ambitious civil engineering undertakings in Southeast Asia. UEM Edgenta’s technical governance oversaw the successful delivery of 115 bridges and 25 complex interchanges, navigating treacherous topography and vast river networks.

Moreover, managing this mammoth operation required logging millions of safe man-hours, laying down immense volumes of specialised asphalt, and coordinating a massive daily workforce. All these were deployed with uncompromising safety and operational standards on the ground. 

Commenting on the sheer magnitude of the operations involved, Shaiful Subhan, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta, said, "Delivering an infrastructure project on the scale of the Pan Borneo Highway across Sarawak's vast and diverse landscape demands exceptional technical expertise, disciplined governance and close collaboration among all stakeholders. At UEM Edgenta, we are proud to have supported this vision by providing the engineering oversight, project management and quality assurance needed to deliver infrastructure of this complexity. Through proven engineering practices and rigorous project governance, we have helped ensure this highway will serve the people of Sarawak safely, reliably and sustainably for generations to come." 

Beyond infrastructure delivery, the Company has also contributed to strengthening Sarawak's engineering ecosystem through the development of local talent and industry capabilities. Recognising that sustainable infrastructure is built not only through physical assets but also through people, UEM Edgenta has embedded capability building throughout the project by integrating local contractors and professionals into internationally recognised project management and engineering practices.

Today, more than 70% of UEM Edgenta’s workforce supporting projects in Sarawak comprises local talent, reflecting the company's commitment to developing homegrown expertise. Strategic collaborations, including its ongoing partnership with Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, have further strengthened the local talent pipeline through internships, graduate programmes and technical knowledge transfer. These initiatives not only support the successful delivery of today's infrastructure projects but also help cultivate the next generation of Sarawakian engineering professionals equipped to lead the state's future development.

For UEM Edgenta’s Sarawak team on the ground, the project transcends corporate milestones; it taps into deep local sentiment and is a matter of profound state pride.

Reflecting on the socio-economic weight of the project, Raihana Ahmad, Managing Director of Infrastructure Solutions at UEM Edgenta, said, "The Pan Borneo Highway is more than a road, it is a catalyst for unity, progress and opportunity across Sarawak. For our team in Sarawak, delivering this long-awaited vision has been deeply meaningful because it is, ultimately, about improving the lives of the communities we serve. We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sarawak State Government, our partners and local contractors to help bring this vision to life, while strengthening local capabilities that will support the state's future infrastructure ambitions."

Marking its final completion milestones, the Pan Borneo Highway stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a client’s bold vision is met with uncompromising engineering expertise. With a highly skilled local workforce now equipped with world-class operational standards, Sarawak is primed for its next great leap.

As the state gears up to celebrate Sarawak Day in July and continues to expand its horizons through highly anticipated mega-projects like the Coastal and Second Trunk Roads which consists of the iconic Batang Lupar 1 Bridge being the record longest river-crossing bridge in Malaysia; UEM Edgenta remains steadfastly positioned to drive the realisation of the Sarawak Government’s aspirations.

Donated by HSH and formerly part of The Peninsula Hotels’ fleet, the vehicle was transported from Hong Kong to London with the support of Cathay Cargo, reflecting a unique cross-continental collaboration in heritage preservation, aviation logistics and automotive excellence. The initiative coincides with the 160th anniversary of HSH and the 80th anniversary of Cathay, underscoring their shared legacy and commitment to excellence, and is documented in the short film “Moving a Legacy across Time,” which captures the journey from Hong Kong to Beaulieu and will be released at a later date.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is now on public display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience a piece of The Peninsula’s storied automotive legacy. It is part of a new gallery titled “Driven: Britain’s Motoring History,” which opened in June 2026.

Speaking at the ceremony, The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH, said: “The Peninsula’s partnership with Rolls-Royce goes back over half a century to 1970, beginning with our historic first order of seven Silver Shadows. As we celebrate 160 years of HSH and 80 years of Cathay, and the new historic gallery at the National Motor Museum, we are reminded of the importance of craftsmanship and heritage. This was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Cathay Cargo. It brings me great pleasure to know this Rolls-Royce has found a prominent home here at Beaulieu, where its story can be shared for generations to come.”

Brian Tsoi, Regional General Manager, Europe, Cathay, who attended the handover ceremony on behalf of Cathay Cargo, added: “At Cathay Cargo, we have decades of experience handling high-value, sensitive shipments, and that expertise is essential in situations like this. It’s not simply about moving cargo from A to B, but about protecting something that represents craftsmanship, heritage, and history. This requires meticulous planning and specialised handling at every stage, from operation to loading to landing. What makes this even more meaningful is the shared effort between The Peninsula, Cathay Cargo, and the National Motor Museum, each playing a role in preserving this legacy. This is more than a shipment; it’s part of an ongoing story.”

Dr Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum, said: “We are delighted to welcome Sir Michael Kadoorie to Beaulieu and the National Motor Museum for the unveiling of the impressive Rolls-Royce Phantom, which his hotel group The Peninsula has donated to the Museum. The car will be placed on display in our new gallery, Driven: Britain’s Motoring Story, and reflects the most recent of Britain’s motoring heritage and prestige car manufacturing.”

The car’s arrival at Beaulieu also carries a further historical resonance through the Rolls-Royce mascot, the Spirit of Ecstasy. The mascot was created by sculptor Charles Sykes, a friend of John, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu, and was modelled on Eleanor Velasco Thornton, Lord Montagu’s secretary and companion. The current Lord Montagu of Beaulieu was also in attendance at the ceremony, underscoring the enduring connection between Beaulieu, the Rolls-Royce marque and British motoring heritage.

The vehicle is a bespoke 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Extended Wheelbase, one of 14 Rolls-Royce motor cars purchased by The Peninsula Hong Kong in 2006. Finished in the brand’s distinctive Peninsula Green with a single coachline and the HSH crest on the front doors, it was specially configured for the hotel’s renowned airport transfer service, with an enlarged boot area and luggage protector, customised illuminated tread plates, repositioned air-conditioning controls, a cool box, a hand towel cooling compartment and a used towel bin in the rear door, as well as a hill hold function. The car served VIP guests over an 18-year period from 2006 to 2024, continuing The Peninsula’s long-standing association with Rolls-Royce, a connection made world-famous by the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun.

The car has covered 500,000km while serving VIP guests over an 18-year period from 2006 to 2024, continuing The Peninsula’s long-standing association with Rolls-Royce, a connection made world-famous by the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun.

July 25, 2026 -- Weathernews Inc. (Headquarters: Chiba, Japan; President and Representative Director: Tomohiro Ishibashi) has launched a smartphone app for SeaNavigator, its AI-powered marine weather service, enabling faster vessel status monitoring and more streamlined navigation decision-making.

The app delivers timely push notifications to dispatchers (shore-side operators) regarding navigational issues and route changes, eliminating the delays inherent in conventional email communications. In addition to automatically detecting and notifying users of vessel speed reductions and drifting based on AIS (Automatic Identification System) data, the app also features a workflow that enables dispatchers to review and approve route and speed recommendations from Weathernews directly from a smartphone. Notifications prompt shore-side operators to instantly check high-resolution wind and wave forecasts and vessel data on their smartphones.

In pre-launch trials, the process of proposing a route change and issuing instructions to the vessel (which had previously taken an average of 24 hours) was reduced to roughly 6 hours, demonstrating a significant improvement in response time. Land-based operators can also choose to receive only the push notifications relevant to them, allowing them to stay on top of critical risks instantly even when away from their desks. Furthermore, the status of voyage plan changes is automatically synced in real time with the desktop version of the service, ensuring that the entire team maintains an accurate and up-to-date picture of the situation.

Weathernews will continue to expand the app’s functionality to provide powerful support for fast and reliable mobile decision-making not only for shore-side operators at shipping companies, but also for personnel in different departments such as chartering, sales, environmental management, and corporate planning, thereby contributing to greater operational efficiency across shipping companies and helping establish a framework for safe vessel dispatch.

Timely Awareness of Navigation Issues and Faster Route Changes in Severe Weather

In recent years, the shipping industry has seen strong demand for frontline-focused digital transformation aimed at reducing the burden on crews and shore-side operators while enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. Weathernews has supported shipping operators through SeaNavigator, its AI-powered marine weather service, and developed this mobile application after identifying opportunities to accelerate dispatch operations and improve the speed at which navigation issues are detected.

Vessel status monitoring had previously relied primarily on report emails from vessels and on monitoring the SeaNavigator screen at a fixed workstation, making it difficult to gain an immediate understanding of sudden speed changes caused by severe weather when away from the office. The back-and-forth of emails and the effort required for manual confirmations in the conventional email-based workflow also caused significant delays in issuing instructions to vessels. Weathernews concluded that eliminating these inefficiencies and delays at the source and enabling more timely decision-making required a fundamentally different approach.

Mobile App Developed for AI-Powered Marine Weather Service SeaNavigator

The app's key strengths lie in its ability to rapidly detect navigation issues and accelerate dispatch workflows through real-time alerts. A personalization feature also allows operators to select only the push notifications they need, ensuring critical risks are never missed while keeping day-to-day operations free from unnecessary interruptions.

Future development plans include expanding the app's push notification capabilities with features such as automatic transmission of approved plans to vessels and route deviation alerts, as well as a request feature that will allow operators to submit changes to destinations, vessel speed, and estimated time of arrival directly from the app.

Points

1. Automatic Detection of Navigation Issues from AIS: Instant Push Notification Alerts for Speed Reductions and Drifting

2. Faster Workflow for Changing Voyage Plans Through Push Notifications for Quicker Decision-Making

3. Access the Latest High-Resolution Wind and Wave Forecasts with World-Class Accuracy

4. Stronger Team Coordination Through Seamless Integration Between the SeaNavigator Desktop and Mobile App

1. Automatic Detection of Navigation Issues from AIS: Instant Push Notification Alerts for Speed Reductions and Drifting

The app is equipped with an alert feature that continuously analyzes AIS (Automatic Identification System) data and sends push notifications when abnormal vessel behavior is detected. The app automatically detects sudden speed reductions or drifting (when a vessel comes to a complete stop) outside port areas where deceleration is expected and immediately notifies shore-side operators.

The "Slowdown" notification for speed reductions is triggered when the cumulative deceleration of a vessel exceeds the threshold set for its vessel type. The "Drifting" notification is sent when a vessel's speed remains below 0.5 knots for two or more consecutive hours.

2. Faster Workflow for Changing Voyage Plans Through Push Notifications for Quicker Decision-Making

The app's push notification feature instantly delivers voyage plan changes and other updates to shore-side operators. They can review the recommended route along with the estimated time of arrival (ETA), vessel speed, and projected fuel consumption on their smartphones and simply tap the "Approve" button to confirm the recommendation, significantly reducing the time required for voyage plan management.

Push notification for voyage plan (notification of recommended route)

In the past, changing voyage plans involved a slow, email-dependent process that caused significant delays in decision-making. The conventional workflow proceeded as follows: (1) Weathernews detecting weather changes along a route and emailing a proposed plan change to the land-based operator; (2) the land-based operator replying by email to approve the change; and (3) Weathernews reflecting the approved plan in SeaNavigator and notifying the captain by email.

This app eliminates the inefficiencies and delays caused by email-dependent confirmations, enabling more timely decision-making. During pre-launch trials, the average time from Weathernews's initial route change proposal to transmission of the final voyage plan to the vessel was reduced from approximately 24 hours to approximately 6 hours, with the fastest recorded case completed in as little as 23 minutes.

Incoming notifications can also be viewed as a list, with badges color-coded by status so that land-based operators can see at a glance which items require attention. To ensure that critical approval items are never overlooked even on the busiest of days, the app also includes a reminder feature that automatically resends notifications when no action has been taken within a specified period, preventing important notifications from being missed, as can easily happen with conventional email.

Respond to recommended route proposal by pressing "Approve" or "Hold"

Check the latest arrival times for individual vessels as well as notifications from Weathernews

3. Access the Latest High-Resolution Wind and Wave Forecasts with World-Class Accuracy

The app provides high-resolution weather and marine data — including wind direction and speed, wave height and period, ocean currents, and typhoon track forecasts — for any location worldwide. Operators can overlay this data, displayed on a 0.125-degree grid, with the positions of the vessels under their responsibility, allowing them to assess severe weather risks at a glance.

The service's forecasts are powered by Weathernews' proprietary Global Weather and Wave Forecasting System, which delivers world-class forecast accuracy at high resolution. Forecasts are generated by combining more than 80 forecast scenarios derived from ensemble forecasts produced by major meteorological agencies worldwide with weather satellite data and Weathernews' extensive vessel observation network.

4. Stronger Team Coordination Through Seamless Integration Between the SeaNavigator Desktop Website and Mobile App

Working alongside the SeaNavigator desktop platform already in use at many shipping companies, the app allows users to receive push notifications on their smartphones before switching to their computers to review detailed voyage and weather information.

Furthermore, rather than displaying all vessels linked to an account, the app features a "Vessel Groups" function, that allows operators to filter their view to show only the vessels under their responsibility. Operators can monitor the current location and status of only selected vessels exclusively, enabling more efficient responses to confirmations and risk management tasks without distraction from unnecessary information or notifications.

The service enables users to select optimal routes, visualize CO2 emissions, and mitigate grounding risks — all within a single platform.

In December 2025, Weathernews also released SeaNavigator for Master, a marine weather service designed specifically for onboard use that supports captains' operational decision-making through AI. Using AI Agent, captains can instantly obtain information about weather risks and the rationale behind recommended routes through a conversational chat interface, much like consulting a specialist directly. Designed to overcome the connectivity challenges inherent to operations at sea, the service gives captains access to the latest high-resolution wind and wave forecasts covering all ocean areas, along with a simulation function that automatically calculates optimal routes and a chat tool for ship-to-shore communication, providing powerful support for reliable decision-making at sea.

The industrial and logistics real estate leader with the most comprehensive portfolio

FPT commands its leadership in Thailand’s industrial and logistics real estate business with a comprehensive portfolio of factories and warehouses. The company manages more than 3.8 million square metres (sqm) of industrial space across over 50 strategic locations nationwide and regional assets in Vietnam and Indonesia. These include Ready-Built factories and warehouses, as well as bespoke developments tailored to customers’ specific needs through Built-to-Suit and Built-to-Function solutions. From general warehouses, hazardous material storage and cold storage facilities to factories designed in accordance with energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable building standards, FPT is committed to delivering high-quality facilities that support long-term business growth and sustainable operations for its customers.

Recently, FPT has also expanded into industrial estates to broaden its exposure across the industrial value chain. This includes ARAYA – The Eastern Gateway, Thailand's fully integrated industrial development and innovation ecosystem, designed under the Industrial-Tech Ecosystem concept and setting a new standard as Thailand's Smart Industrial Estate spanning more than 4,600 rai, as well as the acquisition of a 2,200-rai industrial estate in Chonburi.

FPT’s industrial and logistics business serves leading companies across a wide range of industries. Its diversified customer base comprises both local firms and multinationals such as HAVI Logistics (Thailand), Lyreco, CEVA Logistics, SPX Express, DHL, Maersk, DB Schenker, Billennium, Watsons Thailand, F&N Dairies (Thailand) and Big C Supercenter, among others.

Connecting regional growth opportunities through global partnerships

FPT’s industrial and logistics business is well-positioned to facilitate customers’ regional and multinational expansion.

Centred on the theme of hydrogen cities, the competition attracted applications from approximately 60 primary schools. Prior to the final, Towngas arranged a series of complimentary workshops and educational visits to familiarise students with the scientific knowledge of hydrogen. Participants also joined site visits to witness the operations of the hydrogen-powered EV charging system at the Towngas Headquarters and the hydrogen fuel cell street washing vehicle at the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) Headquarters. 14 primary school teams were shortlisted for the final, where they conceptualised and brought their visions of a future hydrogen city to life through detailed models.

Mr Don Cheng Hill-kwong, Towngas Chief Operating Officer - Hong Kong Business, stated at the awards presentation ceremony that “The HKSAR Government has announced Strategy of Hydrogen Development in Hong Kong, paving the way for the opportunities brought by the development of hydrogen energy. Notably, the town gas produced by Towngas is approximately half hydrogen, which can be delivered through an extensive underground pipeline network spanning across the territory. This signifies our unique advantages in hydrogen energy development.” He expressed hope that students could grasp the science behind hydrogen through this competition, encouraging them to actively explore a low-carbon future powered by green energies.

Mr Poon Kwok-ying, Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, attended the ceremony as an officiating guest. In his speech, he highlighted the environmental friendliness of hydrogen energy, as it only emits water when being consumed. Furthermore, the National 15th Five-Year Plan Outline indicated that hydrogen energy is one of the industries of the future. He added that EMSD has formulated legislation and technical guidelines related to hydrogen safety, and is actively coordinating and reviewing local trial projects on hydrogen fuel technology to drive green city development. He encouraged students to unleash their creativity and contribute to the green blueprint outlined in the National 15th Five-Year Plan.

Another officiating guest, Hon Tang Fei, Legislative Council Member (Education Constituency), stated that the competition served as an excellent platform for STEAM learning. He expressed that “with the full subsidy offered by Towngas, students were provided with invaluable learning opportunities at no cost. Engaging in water electrolysis experiments to understand hydrogen production offers a truly ‘out-of-the-classroom’ learning experience. Putting scientific theories into solutions for real-world environmental issues perfectly exemplifies ‘learning for practical use’ – a core educational philosophy we strongly advocate.”

Towngas has always been committed to building a sustainable future and has been actively developing our green energy businesses in recent years, including hydrogen energy development in Hong Kong. Among the 40 trial projects on hydrogen fuel technology approved by the HKSAR Government, Towngas is participating in nine, covering application scenarios such as transportation, construction sites, and mega events. The Company is also participating in a green hydrogen project at the South East New Territories Landfill Extension in Tseung Kwan O, utilising biogas to produce green hydrogen. The project is expected to commence production this year, producing approximately 330 kg of “Made-in-Hong Kong” green hydrogen daily, which would drive the development of Hong Kong's hydrogen economy.

Looking ahead, Towngas will continue to act as a pioneer in Hong Kong's hydrogen energy development, continuously expanding hydrogen application to more scenarios to allow the public to experience the cleanliness and efficiency of hydrogen energy. Meanwhile, the Company will continue to collaborate closely with stakeholders including the government, business sectors and academia to form a hydrogen ecosystem in Hong Kong, joining hands to achieve a hydrogen economy.

A record-breaking 120 participating students

Organised by Towngas, the Career In A Nutshell programme offers diverse, tailor-made workplace training for secondary school students. Since its launch in 2018, the programme has built a stellar reputation in the education sector through continuous innovation and refinement, providing skills training adapted to the changing needs of society. Entering its eighth year, the latest cohort attracted 120 senior secondary students from 12 schools, making it the largest in the programme’s history.

The programme features five core stages: recruitment, on-the-job training, expert masterclasses, work challenges, and an awards ceremony. Students begin by attending a Towngas career talk to experience an authentic corporate recruitment process. Following this, they comprehensively enhance their workplace literacy and practical abilities through interactive formats such as site visits, workshops, task challenges, and volunteer services.

Diverse experiences cultivating diverse interests

Over the course of a year, Towngas arranged a rich variety of activities for teachers and students, including STEM workshops, career exploration, a visit to the Towngas Smart Warehouse, a charity farm experience, simulated customer service tasks, and dining etiquette classes. Furthermore, in response to the growing emphasis on environmental protection and energy security, this year’s programme specifically incorporated energy knowledge sharing. This segment introduced Towngas’s latest developments in green energy across “land, sea, and air”, sparking and nurturing the students’ interests.

Matthew Wong Yi-nok, a student from Shun Lee Catholic Secondary School, recalled the charity farm experience as his most memorable moment: “Seeing the application of green energy in modern farming was incredibly fascinating. Integrating this with what we learn in the classroom makes for excellent practical experience.”

Meanwhile, Angel Chen Meng-yue from Confucian Tai Shing Ho Kwok Pui Chun College reflected: “In the classroom, we learn theoretical knowledge from textbooks. But stepping into a corporate environment is like stepping into society; apart from applying what we have learnt, we also need to master the interpersonal skills required to communicate and get along with others.”

While it is not uncommon for today’s youth to believe in relying on the “bank of mum and dad”, or even opting to “lie flat”, these two students remain determined to hone their skills and seize opportunities through their own hard work. They both agreed that the authentic “test drive” provided by the Career In A Nutshell journey has helped them identify their future development paths. They also expressed their hope to participate in the Towngas summer internship programme in the future, noting, “The mentors at Towngas were genuinely friendly.”

Stepping out of the classroom and thinking outside the box

Ms Tammy Tam, a teacher from St. Clare’s Girls’ School, led her students in joining the programme with the intention of encouraging them to step out of the school gates and broaden their horizons. “Young people in their studies should explore and try as much as possible to cultivate their interests, rather than boxing themselves into a rigid career path,” she shared. “Even if they make mistakes along the way, it is still a rewarding experience. Career In A Nutshell has provided our students with a precious opportunity to engage with society, understand how a company operates, and see how it fulfils its corporate social responsibility.” She added, “Even the teachers gained a lot from the process; we have all grown and progressed in different ways.”

Mr Fong Kai-shing, Towngas General Manager – Group Training and Development and Principal of Towngas Training Institute, expressed his delight at seeing the Career In A Nutshell programme gain increasing popularity and recognition among teachers and students. After several years of dedicated effort, the programme has now become a vital platform for Towngas to promote youth education. At the recent graduation ceremony, Mr Fong encouraged the students to remain bold in their endeavours, dare to innovate, and apply what they have learnt to develop the skills needed to adapt to the evolution of society. Looking ahead, Towngas will continue to leverage this programme and its extension activities to continuously inject momentum into inspiring the next generation as they explore their career paths.

The GSTC framework, jointly established by the Global Sustainable Transport Innovation and Knowledge Center, China Classification Society, China Energy Engineering Group, and COSCO SHIPPING Logistics Supply Chain Co., Ltd., sets internationally credible standards for sustainable transport fuel assessment. The certification involves independent third-party verification across the full lifecycle—from raw materials to end products—covering resource sustainability, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, traceability, and environmental and social impact.

Combining technical standards with on-site verification, GSTC evaluates the full value chain, from feedstock and energy inputs to production processes and end-use emissions. This provides a clear and practical benchmark for marine fuels, enhancing buyer confidence and helping the shipping industry identify genuinely low-carbon fuel options.

VENEX’s green methanol project in Inner Mongolia adopts co-gasification technology to convert waste materials such as used tyres and biomass into green methanol, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes. The project has successfully completed the first batch of trial assessments under the GSTC framework, confirming compliance with certification requirements.

Mr Sham Man-fai, Towngas Chief Operating Officer – Green Fuel and Chemicals and Group Chief Technology Officer, said the certification marks a significant milestone for VENEX. “VENEX will continue to uphold high standards in advancing green fuel production and operations, delivering on its commitment to low-carbon transition and supporting the long-term development of sustainable transportation and green shipping.”

VENEX will continue to enhance its production technology, expand green methanol capacity and distribution, and strengthen collaboration across ports, shipping, energy, and chemical sectors, aligning with national “dual carbon” goals and accelerating the maritime industry’s low-carbon transition.

The award-winning project centres on Towngas’s smart microgrid and virtual power plants (VPPs) in Shenzhen. Deployed across government buildings and large manufacturing facilities, the smart grid integrates distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery energy storage systems (BESS). Through smart aggregation and dispatch, flexible power resources on the user side are consolidated to form a “virtual power plant”. This setup not only supplies electricity to customers but also provides ancillary services to the wider power grid. By combining PV-BESS microgrids with VPPs, this integrated solution alleviates challenges such as power supply and demand imbalances in major cities, land scarcity and difficulties in connecting renewable energy to the grid. Crucially, it achieves this while maintaining power security and supporting carbon reduction targets. This mature operational model has been rolled out across multiple cities on the Chinese mainland.

The successful implementation of this award-winning smart grid project relied on the pooling of resources from industry, government and academia, demonstrating the deep integration and close collaboration between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong in energy innovation. Each partner played a distinct role: Shenzhen leveraged its strengths in grid dispatch and grid-side platform development; Hong Kong-based Towngas spearheaded green finance innovation and strategic support for renewable energy; Towngas Energy contributed its operational expertise in distributed PV, BESS, smart microgrids, and end-user operations; and Tsinghua University focused on the core technologies for VPPs in zero-carbon smart industrial parks, providing theoretical backing and algorithm development.

The ESCI Best Practices Awards are the sole official project awards under the APEC Energy Working Group. Launched in 2013, the awards are held biennially and cover five major categories, including smart transport, smart buildings and smart grids. Only one gold and one silver award are presented in each category.

With 2026 marking the APEC “China Year”, Towngas and Towngas Energy will continue to leverage their synergistic strengths in energy, technology and finance to actively participate in international energy cooperation. Moving forward, they will promote innovative practices such as zero-carbon smart industrial parks, VPPs and smart microgrids, sharing “Towngas Solutions” and “Chinese wisdom” in energy transition with the rest of the world.

July 25, 2026 -- Cathay today was delighted to celebrate the graduation of 80 students who successfully completed the 2026 I Can Fly Youth Academy. Marking its 80th anniversary this year, Cathay brought together 80 students from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland for the first time for an immersive aviation journey across Hong Kong and Chengdu, empowering them to explore the world of aviation while building friendships and broadening their horizons.

Hosted by Cathay Director People Patricia Hwang and joined by Cathay Brand Ambassador and Olympic medallist Siobhán Haughey, the graduation ceremony saw graduates, industry partners and Cathay volunteers come together to celebrate this memorable milestone.

Patricia Hwang said: “For 80 years, Cathay has been deeply committed to being a force of positivity for our community. Through the I Can Fly Youth Academy, we are proud to inspire more young people to pursue their aviation dreams. We would like to thank our partners and Cathay volunteers for their invaluable support in creating such an enriching and meaningful experience for the participants. We look forward to seeing them flourish in the future and contribute to the continued development of Hong Kong as an international aviation hub.”

This year’s I Can Fly Youth Academy offered students a unique two-week immersive aviation learning experience. Organised in collaboration with the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation, the programme began in Chengdu, where students took part in a five-day tour exploring China’s aviation development, technological advances and emerging low-altitude economy.

The journey then continued in Hong Kong, where students toured Cathay’s various aviation facilities and departments, as well as those of the wider airport community. Guided by Cathay volunteers, they visited Cathay City, Cathay Cargo Terminal and Cathay Dining to learn about the many facets of airline operations. Students also toured the Civil Aviation Department, the Government Flying Service, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO) and other aviation-related organisations, further broadening their understanding of the industry.

Outstanding students will be invited to an aviation experiential trip to Adelaide, Australia where they will gain international exposure and engage with aviation professionals.

This year marks the 10th edition of Cathay’s flagship youth development initiative, I Can Fly. Launched in 2003, the programme features three key initiatives — the I Can Fly Youth Academy, the I Can Fly Discovery Flight and the I Can Fly Aviation Explorer Days. More than 8,800 students have since joined the programme, with many going on to pursue careers in aviation.

In addition, Cathay has set an ambition to uplift 80,000 lives in 2026 through an expanded range of community programmes built around youth development, sports, and arts and culture.

The All Abroad Sale fares include:

• Perth to Bali (Denpasar) from $149^
• Perth to Phuket from $205^
• Perth to Bangkok from $225^
• Perth to Manila from $225^
• Perth to Christchurch from $339^

Travel dates vary per route but include late October 2026 to late May 2027.

West Australians are closer to a Bali beach club than they are to Bondi - the flight from Perth to Bali takes around 3 hours 40 minutes, quicker than the roughly 4.5-hour hop to Sydney! It's proof of how well-placed Perth is for international travel, and this sale makes the most of it, with fares from $149^.

The sale comes as Jetstar continues to grow out of Perth, with the airline set to launch direct flights to Christchurch from 27 October 2026 - the only low-fares service on the route - operated by its fleet of Perth-based Airbus A321LRs.

A new Jetstar cabin crew base at Perth Airport will open in the coming months, creating local jobs for Western Australia.

More than 700,000 customers flew with Jetstar internationally out of WA last year, underlining strong demand from West Australians for low-fare international travel.

Jetstar Chief Operating Officer Matt Franzi said the sale was a chance for West Australians to lock in low fares as the airline builds out its network in the west.

“West Aussies love a good deal, and this sale is our way of making sure more of them can take off more, for less.

"Basing cabin crew in Perth will allow us to continue to expand our network out of the west in coming years, providing more choice for West Australians and boosting the state's tourism economy.

"With direct flights to Christchurch joining the network in October, this sale is just the start of what's ahead for our customers in the west."

Club Jetstar** members will have exclusive access to further discounts on sale fares and travellers can sign up to become a Club Jetstar member at Jetstar.com when making a booking.

The sale starts at 10am AEST and ends at 11.59pm AEST on Friday 24 July 2026, unless sold out prior. Fares and full conditions are available at Jetstar.com.

As fans celebrated Spain’s first World Cup title in 16 years, JD.com quickly turned the excitement into new opportunities for Spanish brands. Leveraging the strengths of JD Super, JD.com’s online supermarket, and JINGDONG Cross-Border, the company’s cross-border import business, JD.com connected authentic Spanish products with millions of consumers across China through its nationwide retail and supply chain network.

As Spain advanced from the Round of 16 to then lifting the World Cup, Chinese consumers’ enthusiasm for Spanish beers continued to build on JD Super. During this period, sales of Estrella Galicia 1906 Reserva Especial more than doubled compared with the previous stage, while Mahou’s Session IPA, an official LaLiga partner, saw sales increase by 85%. Premium Estrella Damm craft beer gift sets also recorded nearly 70% growth, highlighting Chinese consumers’ growing enthusiasm for authentic imported brands during major global sporting events.

Beyond beer, JINGDONG Cross-Border brought Spain’s culinary culture even closer to Chinese shoppers. Last week, the team partnered with popular content creators The Breeze Brothers to host four livestream sourcing sessions directly from Spain, including a behind-the-scenes broadcast from an Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing operation in partnership with Balfegó—a global pioneer in certified, responsible fishing and sustainable marine management. Through JD.com’s cross-border e-commerce fast-track model, more than 200 premium Spanish products—including Atlantic bluefin tuna, Bowo tuna, Baymar seafood, iHam Iberian ham, Codorníu Cava, Nomad Coffee and Pancracio chocolate—were introduced to the Chinese market, with many making their China debut. The livestreams attracted more than 500,000 cumulative views, while seafood and beverage products featured during the campaign generated over 6,300 orders on JINGDONG Cross-Border, demonstrating the growing appeal of authentic Spanish products among Chinese shoppers.

The World Cup also highlighted a broader shift in demand for imported products. During the tournament, searches for imported beer on JD Super increased by more than 30% year over year, while sales rose by over 60%. Meanwhile, JINGDONG Cross-Border’s dedicated Spanish fresh food sourcing page attracted nearly 270,000 unique visitors, demonstrating Chinese consumers’ growing appetite for premium products from around the world.

For international brands, these moments represent more than short-term demand, they create opportunities to build lasting connections with Chinese consumers. Backed by JD.com’s nationwide fast fulfillment network, digital merchandising expertise, livestream commerce ecosystem and trusted retail platform, JD.com helps international brands respond quickly to market trends while building long-term growth in China.

These efforts are further supported by JD.com’s “10 Billion GigaGrowth Plan”, an initiative designed to accelerate the introduction of premium international products through dedicated global buyers, localized marketing, omnichannel retail capabilities, and end-to-end supply chain support.

From celebrating global sporting moments to discovering authentic local specialties, JD.com continues to bring the world’s best products closer to Chinese consumers—while helping international brands unlock new opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic consumer markets.

Wimbledon, England, United Kingdom, July 25, 2026 -- Wimbledon is famous for its traditions, from tennis whites to strawberries and cream, the hush that falls over the grass courts, and spectators looking to see who may be sitting in the Royal Box. While much of that heritage remains, The Championships have also been quietly undergoing one of the biggest technological transformations in sport.

Wimbledon Debenture Tickets, the UK’s leading supplier of debenture seating packages, has commented on how those changes have improved convenience for spectators from around the world, and how redevelopments intend to make the tournament more accessible.

A decade ago, Wimbledon spectators were expected to manage printed tickets, paper confirmations and physical documentation. Today, much of that experience is handled through a smartphone, from accepting tickets and verifying identity to receiving live updates throughout the day, but this is only the start of the behind-the-scenes updates being made.

How Wimbledon Has Blended Tradition With Digital Innovation

Many tennis fans love the prestige and time-honoured nature of Wimbledon. The All England Club has worked hard to ensure that technology doesn’t replace the classic Wimbledon experience but makes attending more straightforward for guests.

For most spectators, the most notable impact has been around the ticketing process. Whereas once attendees would need to carry paper tickets and be certain they don’t become lost or damaged, the transition to e-ticketing has been designed to streamline entry, remove issues around physical ticketing, and ensure all spectators are verified.

Guests can keep their tickets, schedules and tournament information in one place through their myWIMBLEDON account, which is stored on the Official Wimbledon App.

This digital ticketing transfer means that delays with postage are no longer an issue, with guests simply able to present their app at the entrance, although they must also carry a photo ID.

Benefits of E-Ticketing for International Wimbledon Visitors

Wimbledon Debenture Tickets notes that many of its guests travel from overseas, with digital ticketing helping simplify the practical aspects of planning a visit.

For many overseas visitors, attending Wimbledon is part of a longer and potentially complex itinerary. Flights, hotels, and rail travel are often arranged months in advance, making certainty particularly important.

Rather than worrying about keeping paper tickets safe while travelling between hotels, airports and the tournament grounds, visitors can manage their tickets securely through the app.

Gameplay and Venue-Based Technology Introduced at Wimbledon

Some of the biggest technological developments are focused on the games themselves, rather than spectators. However, visitors are already experiencing the benefits and may not be aware of how many changes have been made.

They’ll find that live statistics appear almost instantly, match schedules update in real time and digital platforms provide more insight into player performance and their progress throughout the tournament than ever before.

One of the more controversial changes has been the introduction of electronic line calling across all courts, replacing traditional line judges with automated technology. While the move prompted debate among tennis fans, its aim is to deliver greater consistency and accuracy throughout The Championships.

Digital innovation has also transformed the experience for spectators watching Wimbledon away from SW19. Artificial intelligence is now being used to generate commentary on match highlights, while enhanced statistics and draw analysis can provide fans with additional insight throughout the tournament.

How The Championships Spectator Experience Has Been Updated

Away from guest arrivals, technology plays a vital role in managing an event attended by more than half a million spectators each year.

Digital systems help organisers monitor visitor flows, identify where queues are building and predict demand for food, drink and facilities throughout the grounds. Rather than reacting to congestion as it develops, organisers can make adjustments in real time, helping improve the overall experience.

The result is an event that welcomes huge crowds of guests across the fortnight while still feeling surprisingly easy to navigate once visitors are through the gates.

Whether checking a court schedule, locating facilities through the app or receiving live updates during the day, spectators are able to spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the tennis.

Debenture ticket holders already benefit from pre-booked seating, dedicated entry through the Debenture Holders' Entrance, assistance with travel arrangements and restaurant reservations. The addition of smart venue management has further improved this, with the ability to see live updates, last-minute court changes and weather notifications right up to the start of each match.

Attending Wimbledon as a Debenture Ticket Holder

Debenture tickets have remained in strong demand as increasing numbers of tennis fans look for greater certainty when planning a visit. With record attendance figures and the public ballot continuing to attract overwhelming interest each year, many spectators value knowing their place at The Championships is secured in advance.

Visitors have quality seats with exceptional views over Centre Court or No. 1 Court. They can also watch matches on the outside courts, subject to availability, ensuring they can make the most of the day and see as much world-class tennis as possible.

The introduction of digital access and reservations for debenture holder-only bars and eateries has undoubtedly helped make the experience more enjoyable for many.

What to Expect From Wimbledon 2027

For an event built on tradition, Wimbledon has shown that innovation and heritage don’t need to be at odds with each other.

Although major renovations are planned this year, including the redesign of Henman Hill to improve access and upgrade viewing with outdoor tiered seating, the intelligent venue management will become even more important when the 38 new grass courts and planned new 8,000-seat show court are complete.

The traditional dress code and unmistakable atmosphere remain at the heart of Wimbledon, but many of the practical challenges that once came with attending have disappeared. From buying Wimbledon Debenture tickets to navigating the grounds, technology has simplified countless parts of the day without altering the character of the tournament itself.

According to the Wimbledon Debenture Tickets team, technology hasn't changed what makes Wimbledon special; it has simply made one of the world's most loved sporting events easier to enjoy.

About the company: Wimbledon Debenture Tickets provide the best seats on Centre Court and No. 1 Court which offer unrivalled views of the tennis every day of The Championships.​ All our debenture tickets are official and guaranteed. We have more than 20 years' experience as debenture holders and had over 4,000 happy clients attending Wimbledon in 2026! Wimbledon Debenture Tickets has no affiliation with the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

United Kingdom, July 25, 2026 -- CentreMove, a new property technology platform designed to give buyers, sellers, estate agents, brokers and solicitors a single, real-time view of every stage of a property transaction, today announced its first public release.

Co-founded by Jennifer Sewell, Gordon Sewell and Wayne Quinn, the platform has been developed to address a UK housing market in which up to 24% of agreed property sales failed to complete during early 2026, with collapsed transactions estimated to cost the economy as much as £2 billion every year.

The launch comes as separate research from Santander describes Britain's housing system as "flawed", estimating it costs buyers and sellers at least £1.5 billion annually. Meanwhile, the average UK property transaction now takes around six months from listing to completion.

According to a 2026 survey by Legal & General, 48% of UK homeowners ranked moving house as the most stressful life event they had experienced, ahead of divorce (33%) and even having a child (19%).

Rather than simply digitising an outdated process, CentreMove has been built to replace fragmented communication, endless chasing and disconnected information with one shared source of truth, giving every party involved in a transaction access to the same live information, at the same time.

What CentreMove Actually Does

CentreMove works as a shared platform where every party involved in a property transaction logs into the same workspace, rather than relying on separate phone calls, emails and second-hand updates passed along a chain of intermediaries.

Whether you're the buyer, seller, estate agent, mortgage broker or solicitor, everyone sees the same live information as the transaction progresses.

The platform currently allows users to:

• Verify identity and ownership through identity checks and Land Registry validation before properties are listed or parties communicate, helping reduce fraud and time-wasting enquiries.
• Track every stage of the transaction through a live shared timeline with automatic notifications whenever a milestone is completed or delayed—eliminating the familiar question: "Where are we up to?"
• Prepare legal documentation earlier, allowing sellers to organise searches, supporting documents and legal information before a buyer is even found, enabling solicitors to begin work immediately once a sale is agreed.
• Give buyers greater control by providing access to surveys, title restrictions and other key property information so they can make informed decisions rather than relying solely on summaries from third parties.
• Enable direct communication between buyers and sellers through secure messaging, reducing the layers of relayed emails and phone calls that often turn a simple question into weeks of delay.

Jennifer Sewell, Co-Founder of CentreMove, said:

"We're not trying to replace estate agents or solicitors. If anything, we're trying to make their lives easier. Professionals spend far too much time chasing updates that should already be available. When buyers and sellers arrive informed, prepared and able to see exactly where they are, everyone benefits."

The Scale of the Problem

The UK's property transaction process continues to suffer from significant inefficiencies.

• Almost one in four agreed property sales in England and Wales failed to complete during the opening months of 2026.
• During one widely reported quarter of 2025, the fall-through rate reached 41%.
• As recently as 2018, around one in five agreed sales failed to complete.
• The average UK property sale now takes five to seven weeks to secure a buyer, followed by a further 16–22 weeks to complete conveyancing.
• Separate industry data places the average conveyancing process alone at approximately 120 days (17 weeks) from instruction to completion.
• Around one in four buyers say they have repeatedly chased their own solicitor for updates.
• One in ten buyers say they do not believe they receive "the whole truth" from the professional legally representing them[^9].

Where the Idea Came From

The concept behind CentreMove was born from a recurring pattern rather than a single incident.

Co-founder and solicitor Gordon Sewell is currently advising on a live legal dispute that demonstrates exactly what happens when information fails to reach the people who need it.

A buyer asked a solicitor, in writing, whether a restriction existed on the use of a property. The solicitor replied:

"Not as far as we are aware."

Since the solicitor represented the seller and held the relevant information relating to the property, the buyer reasonably relied on that response before paying a substantial deposit.

Unfortunately, the restriction did exist.

The mortgage subsequently failed, the transaction collapsed and the parties are now involved in legal proceedings concerning the deposit.

Sewell said:

"CentreMove would have avoided the dispute entirely. Instead of relying on one response, the buyer could have run searches independently, accessed the information directly or contacted the seller before making an offer—let alone paying a substantial deposit."

For co-founder Wayne Quinn, whose career has focused on building businesses by challenging accepted ways of working, property presented the next obvious opportunity.

"I've always believed the biggest opportunities aren't found by improving something by five per cent. They're found by questioning why everyone accepts the problem in the first place. People don't actually want more technology—they want fewer unknowns. If we can remove uncertainty from property transactions, we don't just make moving home faster—we make better decisions possible."

What's Next

Today's announcement marks the first public release of CentreMove rather than the completion of the platform.

Phase Two is already underway and will introduce deeper lender integrations, commercial property functionality and additional automation across the transaction process.

The company's longer-term ambition is to create the UK's centralised property transaction platform—bringing buyers, sellers, estate agents, conveyancers, brokers and lenders together around a single trusted source of information.

CentreMove is now inviting estate agents, conveyancers, mortgage brokers, lenders, journalists and everyday buyers and sellers to explore the platform and provide feedback ahead of its wider rollout.

A CentreMove spokesperson said:

"We didn't build this behind closed doors, and we're not going to finish it behind closed doors either. If something's clunky, tell us. If something's missing, tell us that too. This platform exists for the people who use it, so their feedback will help shape where it goes next."

Explore CentreMove. Challenge it. Break it if you can. Your feedback will help shape the future of property transactions in England and Wales. Join the movement HERE

Basel City, Switzerland, July 25, 2026 -- PatientCentricCare.AI announces the launch of PCC Safety OS™, an operational AI governance platform designed to help healthcare organizations adopt artificial intelligence with greater confidence while strengthening patient trust across the continuum of care. Arriving as healthcare providers face increasing regulatory scrutiny and fragmented AI deployments, the platform embeds governance directly into AI workflows, giving organizations infrastructure built for responsible adoption.

Andrew Squire, Founder of PatientCentricCare.AI

Healthcare’s use of artificial intelligence continues to accelerate, yet many organizations are still operating isolated pilot programmes that struggle to connect across existing systems. At the same time, new requirements under the EU AI Act are placing greater emphasis on transparency, accountability, and the ability to explain how AI reaches decisions. Those shifts have created demand for infrastructure that supports innovation while protecting patients throughout every stage of care.

PatientCentricCare.AI developed PCC Safety OS™ to address that challenge by placing governance inside the operating system itself instead of treating it as documentation completed after deployment. The platform is designed to help organizations create connected AI experiences, including a patient recognition platform and runtime governance infrastructure that extends from the hospital into patients’ daily lives in the home while maintaining safeguards that support organizations in meeting governance requirements.

“People talk a lot about governance, but patients don’t think in those terms,” says Andrew Squire, Founder of PatientCentricCare.AI. “They think about whether somebody understands them, whether their care is connected, and whether they feel supported after they leave the hospital. Healthcare needs infrastructure that keeps the patient at the centre instead of leaving every AI pilot disconnected from the next. That’s what PCC Safety OS™ is designed to do.”

Squire’s vision is informed by decades of experience in pharmaceutical customer experience as well as his own journey as a cancer survivor. Having experienced healthcare from the patient's perspective, he wanted to develop technology that helps people stay connected with their care without replacing clinical judgement. The platform’s first phase includes an AI companion that supports appointment preparation, guided reflection, reminders, and patient-controlled care planning, while deliberately refusing to provide medical advice, directing users back to their clinician whenever medical decisions are required.

“As someone who’s been on the other side of healthcare, my priority has always been the patient rather than the organisation,” Squire says. “People shouldn’t have to remember every question before they walk into an appointment or leave without understanding what happened afterwards. AI should make those moments easier while recognizing where it must stop. If someone asks whether they should change their medication, the answer is simple: speak to your doctor. Patient safety always comes first.”

The platform has already undergone early testing with patients in Switzerland, where feedback demonstrated strong engagement among older adults using the multilingual AI companion. Built to support languages including English, French, and Swiss German, PCC Safety OS™ has also been designed to satisfy governance requirements such as maintaining an auditable record of AI interactions and supporting compliance with evolving European regulations.

PatientCentricCare.AI expects PCC Safety OS™ to become available through phased commercial rollout in Switzerland in the coming months, as an informal, early-stage feasibility deployment, while expanding discussions with hospitals and healthcare organizations across France, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. The company is also seeking additional pilot partners and investment to support broader deployment as healthcare providers look for practical ways to introduce trusted AI into clinical environments in order to allow people to age independently in their homes.

“Healthcare doesn’t need another AI tool,” Squire adds. “It needs infrastructure that makes AI safe enough to scale. If patients trust the technology and healthcare organizations can demonstrate how AI reaches decisions, AI becomes something that strengthens care rather than adding another disconnected system.”

New York, NY, United States, July 25, 2026 -- A Senior UAE Financial Executive has been named a recipient of a 2026 Global Recognition Award for her work modernizing federal revenue systems, marking a significant milestone in a career spent changing how government institutions manage public funds. Amna Almandoos received the honor in the Leadership Category following an evaluation of her portfolio using the Rasch model. This linear measurement scale allows judges to compare applicants with differing accomplishments on equal footing, since it accounts for variation like achievements while still producing a fair ranking. Her selection reflects nearly two decades of executive-level financial governance experience at institutions, including the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), where her record shows a consistent pattern of institutional change rather than isolated achievement.

Judges cited her ability to replace manual, error-prone financial processes with automated, auditable systems that withstand scrutiny, placing her ahead of a competitive national field of applicants. Her nomination stood apart because it demonstrated sustained impact across multiple institutions rather than a single moment of success, and the judging panel weighed this consistency heavily in their final assessment. The recognition, therefore, centres less on any individual project and more on the broader discipline she brought to public financial administration over nearly two decades.

A Career Built on Firsts

For over 19 years, Almandoos has been a driving force in the UAE’s public finance and banking sectors. From her early days as a Retail Banking Officer at Dubai Islamic Bank to her current role as a Financial Resources Assistant Expert & Head of Revenue Section at the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), her career has been defined by a relentless focus on advancing the continuous evolution of government financial systems. Her diverse experience—spanning local government at the Ajman Department of Finance and federal operations at MOHAP—has provided her with a unique vantage point on fiscal management. Every role she has held has been a deliberate step toward a singular objective: advancing automated, auditable financial systems that strengthen operational efficiency, transparency, and financial governance.

Her most significant achievement is the design and implementation of the UAE’s First fully automated daily revenue reconciliation system for MOHAP. This pioneering project enhanced operational efficiency, strengthened the accuracy and consistency of daily revenue reconciliation, and accelerated the Ministry’s financial processing capabilities. Following this success, she spearheaded the “Easy Payment Initiative,” making MOHAP the First Federal entity to launch a flexible payment solution developed in partnership with major local banks in the UAE, expanding payment options and providing citizens with greater flexibility and convenience when settling government service fees.

A Reputation Built on Impact

Even before her recent global honors, Almandoos had already garnered widespread acclaim among her regional peers. In 2025, she received the prestigious Sharjah Award for Public Finance and was named the “Distinguished Arab Financial Department Head” in recognition of her pivotal contributions to fiscal governance. Furthermore, she was awarded the Expo 2020 Dubai Medal by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum—an honor bestowed in recognition of her outstanding volunteer service at one of the most significant global exhibitions in the region’s history. These accolades are a testament to her results-oriented philosophy, which prioritizes tangible impact over mere formality, further solidifying her position as a role model for government finance leaders in the Gulf.

Her current initiative involves integrating with UAEPay, a new payment channel, building on the same approach that shaped her previous work, but taking into account a more complex regulatory environment. Her colleagues describe her decision-making process as consistently linked to measurable results rather than mere symbolic gestures, a reputation she has earned across numerous organizations. “Amna Almandoos represents the kind of leadership that turns bureaucratic friction into functioning infrastructure, and that is precisely the standard this award was built to recognize,” said Alex Sterling, a spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards.

Final Words

Almandoos’s case for this honor rests less on titles and more on the tangible changes within the systems she has managed. Under her guidance, a federal entity now reconciles revenue automatically. Citizens now benefit from expanded, more flexible payment channels introduced under her leadership, and her research on financial leadership adds analytical rigor to a career defined by execution. Few professionals in public finance combine such sustained institutional patience with the technical ambition required to register four separate intellectual property innovations.

The judges’ focus on leadership was not incidental, given that her innovations required navigating ministry approvals, banking partnerships, and regulatory frameworks simultaneously, and this coordination demanded skills that extend well beyond technical finance work. Almandoos’s inclusion among the 2026 Global Recognition Award recipients reflects a body of work that has already changed how the federal government manages its own finances, and her continued leadership on projects such as the UAEPay integration suggests this influence will only grow. Her career shows that meaningful institutional change often begins with a single individual willing to challenge established processes and replace them with something more durable.

Seoul, Korea, July 25, 2026 -- Santa AI TOEFL, an AI-powered preparation platform and official ETS partner, has updated its service for the 2026 TOEFL iBT®, which now adds adaptive Reading and Listening sections. The platform pairs authentic content, official scoring engines, and a personal AI tutor as an alternative to the expensive prep academy.

With more than 4 million downloads worldwide and over 250,000 active learners, Santa AI TOEFL pairs official ETS content with research-grade AI to do something traditional prep could not: identify where learners are losing points and how to address them. The following is a closer look at the features that set the platform apart.

Official ETS content, updated for the 2026 test. Preparing for an adaptive exam means practicing the real thing, not an imitation. As an official ETS partner, Santa doesn't reverse-engineer its material — it offers official TOEFL iBT questions and mock tests. The catalog currently includes 21+ mock tests and more than 3,500 practice questions, all updated to reflect the 2026 changes across Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.

Score prediction built on the exam's own engines. Santa's most distinctive feature is how it measures progress. Its score predictions are powered by SpeechRater® for Speaking and e-rater® for Writing. According to the company, which produces AI-predicted scores that align with actual test results 99% of the time. Instead of guessing whether they are ready, learners get a reliable estimate of their real test-day score — and can watch it climb as they study.

Research-grade technology under the hood. The platform is built by Socra AI, a Seoul-based education-technology company whose researchers build language models designed specifically for test prep rather than adapted from general-purpose systems. That research compounds with scale: millions of learners have answered hundreds of millions of questions, and every response sharpens the prediction engine.

Designed for real life and real budgets. Santa delivers the diagnostic precision of a private tutor at a fraction of the cost, across mobile, tablet, and PC — a fit for those who need TOEFL scores for licensing or immigration but lack a fixed study schedule. Santa also offers discounted bundle plans, including official TOEFL vouchers that are currently available in the United States and Canada, with plans to expand to additional countries.

The bottom line. Santa's momentum shows in the numbers — a 4.6 App Store rating on 40,000+ verified reviews, and a global expansion that recently added an official app in India. But the story is simpler than the scale: as the TOEFL enters its adaptive era, preparation is no longer about who can spend the most time or money in a classroom. It is about who can practice smarter.

Learners can access Santa AI TOEFL on the official website, the App Store, and the Google Play Store.

About Santa TOEFL

Santa AI TOEFL is an AI-powered TOEFL exam preparation service. An official partner of ETS, the organization behind the TOEFL, they have more than 4 million downloads worldwide and work to widen access to AI-based test preparation.

Sifakis, a renowned authority on trustworthy autonomous systems, said Robotaxi development depends on AI models and the system's ability to operate safely in open, complex, uncertain environments. He outlined three principles: Safe by Design, System Coordination, and Runtime Assurance. Trustworthy systems require built-in safety from the start, coordination among vehicles, cloud, dispatch, and networks, plus real-time monitoring. He noted CaoCao's RoboX system—built around purpose-built vehicles, driving technologies, and operations—aligns with this engineering approach.

Drawing on this theory, CaoCao proposed a capability framework with three pillars: Trustworthy Vehicles, Runtime Assurance, and Operations Systems, for scalable commercial solutions.

Zhao detailed practices: For Vehicles, CaoCao launched China's first purpose-built Robotaxi with redundant vehicle-level architecture meeting international safety standards. For Runtime Assurance, it enhances its RAS remote safety system and explores space‑ground communications redundancy to improve stability in complex settings. For Operations, it built the Green Intelligent Mobility Hub, enabling coordinated workflows for energy replenishment, preparation, inspection, and dispatch, supporting large‑scale operations. The three‑part framework clarifies responsibilities and creates end‑to‑end accountability across vehicles, driving, and operations, boosting iteration efficiency and responsiveness.

CaoCao believes trustworthiness must remain consistent across cities and traffic environments as Robotaxi services scale. It will be a critical foundation for commercial operations.

Guided by the China Electronics Standardization Institute and Shanghai AI Research Institute, CaoCao partnered with UNIDO AIM Global Centre of Excellence, Microsoft (China), TÜV SÜD, and others to launch the Global Standardization Partnership Program for Trustworthy AI Ecosystem, to explore ecosystem building and standardization.

Looking ahead, CaoCao will continue working with Sifakis to integrate theory with real‑world scenarios, promote coordinated evolution of vehicles, driving, and operations, and strengthen the capability framework. Through these efforts, CaoCao aims to move Robotaxis from trustworthy operation to replicable deployment and ultimately to coordinated global scale‑up, charting a safer and more reliable path to commercial operations.

The company points to the figure as one indicator of rising demand for digital tax tools during a period of regulatory change - not a projection of future growth.

From April 2026, self-employed individuals and landlords with gross income above £50,000 have been required to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. That threshold falls to £30,000 in April 2027, bringing a bigger pool of taxpayers into scope.

Quarterly updates don’t remove year-end obligations. Taxpayers affected by MTD must still file a Final Declaration annually, on top of four quarterly reports. That’s five HMRC touchpoints where there used to be one, putting greater pressure on record-keeping software to stay current throughout the year rather than at deadline time.

Tom McNally, founder of Pie Tax, said:

“We’re seeing a real shift in how people handle their taxes. Historically, a lot of taxpayers only thought about it once a year - Making Tax Digital is changing that, pushing people toward keeping accurate records throughout the year instead. “Passing 100,000 downloads tells us people are actively looking for a simpler way to keep their tax records organised and stay on top of the new reporting requirements, rather than scrambling before a deadline.”

Pie Tax’s user base spans sole traders, micro-business owners, landlords, and people managing multiple income streams - from gig work to online selling.

Record-keeping readiness across that group varies widely, from digital-first users to those still working from spreadsheets and paper receipts. The shift to quarterly submissions has thrown that uneven preparedness into sharp relief.

The broader aim of Making Tax Digital is to modernise financial record-keeping and reduce filing errors by moving the process online. The April 2026 stage targets Making Tax Digital for Income Tax for those above the £50,000 threshold, with scope widening again in April 2027.

Although Pie Tax reached 100,000 downloads before Making Tax Digital for Income Tax was introduced, the company says it’s continuing to see strong interest from people looking for an easier way to manage their tax records as the new rules are rolled out.

Freeport, NY, July 24, 2026 -- DRG Construction, a marine construction firm specializing in waterfront infrastructure and shoreline stabilization, has been selected to assist in the installation of 80 million oysters as part of the Living Breakwaters Project off the southern coast of Staten Island. This initiative represents a milestone in the broader New York harbor restoration movement, serving as one of the largest marine ecosystem recovery and coastal resiliency efforts ever undertaken in the region.

The Living Breakwaters project, situated in the waters of Raritan Bay, is a first-of-its-kind coastal defense system. Designed to manage the physical threats of climate change, the partially submerged breakwater structures are engineered to reduce wave energy, mitigate shoreline erosion, and protect vulnerable coastal communities from severe storm surges. Beyond physical shoreline protection, the breakwaters serve as the structural foundation for a major biological recovery effort.

DRG Construction will play a central role in deploying and installing the specialized oyster habitat systems throughout the designated breakwater zones. Historically, New York Harbor was home to vast, naturally occurring oyster reefs that provided critical biological filtration and coastal buffering before being depleted by industrialization and overharvesting. The installation of tens of millions of oysters aims to naturally rebuild these lost ecosystems. Once established, the living reefs will continuously filter harbor water, foster diverse marine habitats, and naturally strengthen the physical integrity of the breakwaters over time.

Carrying out marine construction of this scale requires specialized technical capabilities and experience with heavy over-water operations. Working within active marine environments like Raritan Bay presents complex logistical demands, including managing shifting tides, operating heavy machinery on floating barges, and adhering to strict placement tolerances. DRG Construction will utilize its fleet of specialized marine equipment, including cranes and transport barges, to ensure the habitat systems are securely anchored to the breakwater foundations.

This contract reinforces the growing industry shift toward green and living infrastructure solutions that merge heavy civil engineering with environmental stewardship. By integrating biological restoration directly into coastal defense design, the Living Breakwaters project serves as a model for modern waterfront resiliency projects worldwide.

About DRG Construction

With over 20 years of marine construction experience, DRG Construction specializes in waterfront infrastructure, shoreline stabilization, dredging, pile installation, floating dock systems, bulkheads, and seawalls. Operating in New York and Florida, the family-owned firm delivers specialized engineering solutions to protect and restore coastal environments for public, private, and municipal clients.

New York, NY, United States, July 24, 2026 -- BKREA announces the sale of 78 Pearl Street and 46 Water Street, a block-through development site in Manhattan's Financial District, for $35,000,000. Bob Knakal, Jas Saini, and Nick Tuleu of BKREA exclusively represented the seller throughout the marketing and sale process.

The property is a rare block-through assemblage running from the south side of Pearl Street to the north side of Water Street, between Coenties Slip and Hanover Square. The approximately 10,150-square-foot site comprises Block 30, Lots 4 and 5, and includes both vacant land and a vacant building, a combination that allows a purchaser to move toward redevelopment or conversion immediately rather than waiting out demolition and vacancy.

Zoned C5-5 (R10) within the Special Lower Manhattan District, the site permits residential, commercial, hotel, retail, and community facility uses as of right. Residential development is permitted at a 10.0 FAR base, rising to 12.0 FAR through the Universal Affordability Preference, with commercial development permitted up to 15.0 FAR. A developer may purchase up to 2.0 FAR, roughly 20,360 square feet, of offsite UAP certificates, adding market-rate floor area while lowering the blended land basis.

With 89.4 feet of frontage on Pearl Street and 54.5 feet on Water Street, the site offers unusual design flexibility for Lower Manhattan. Wide frontage reduces loss factor and improves construction efficiency, producing more sellable square footage per zoning foot, a characteristic that consistently commands a premium on a price-per-buildable-foot basis. The block-through footprint further allows for efficient floor plates and multiple building entrances.

The existing structure at 46 Water Street, built to 10.83 FAR or 85,472 square feet, will be delivered vacant and features generous ceiling heights, positioning it as a candidate for conversion with enlargement. Paired with the 467-m tax abatement, that path is economically compelling amid the wave of office-to-residential conversion activity reshaping Lower Manhattan.

The site sits a five-minute walk from the 2 and 3 trains at Wall Street and a short walk from the 4, 5, A, C, J, and Z lines at Fulton Street, surrounded by leading restaurants, hotels, waterfront attractions, and major office towers.

"The successful sale of 78 Pearl Street & 46 Water Street underscores the continued demand for high-quality development opportunities in Lower Manhattan," said Nick Tuleu, Senior Associate at BKREA. "Well-located sites with significant redevelopment flexibility continue to attract strong investor interest despite an evolving market."

The transaction reflects BKREA's focus on marketing complex development opportunities through a seller-exclusive representation model.

About the company: BKREA is a New York City investment sales firm led by Chairman & CEO Bob Knakal. Over a career beginning in 1984, Mr. Knakal has brokered the sale of more than 2,349 properties in New York City with an aggregate market value of approximately $22 billion. The firm represents sellers exclusively across multifamily assets, development sites, and mixed-use properties throughout the five boroughs.

• The global automakers plan to establish a manufacturing joint venture at Ford’s plant in Valencia, Spain, to build Ford and Geely-branded vehicles.
• The partnership secures the future of the Valencia plant, guarantees long-term stability and creates the potential for future high-tech manufacturing jobs in Valencia.
• The Valencia plant will produce a new generation of low- and zero-emission vehicles for European markets.
• The joint venture is expected to produce three Ford-branded multi-energy vehicles and two electric Geely-branded models, starting in 2028.
• The collaboration accelerates Geely Auto's European expansion, and supports Ford's product offensive in Europe.

The JV will share production capacity to deliver a world-class lineup of multi-energy vehicles for both Geely Auto and Ford brands that will appeal to European drivers, while simultaneously benefiting the local Valencia economy.

Pending regulatory approvals, the JV will officially begin operations in the first half of 2027, with the first new vehicles scheduled to roll off the production line in 2028.

The JV will transform Ford’s Valencia facility – already one of Europe’s most productive and advanced automotive plants, with a potential annual capacity of approximately 500,000 units – into a shared, high-tech manufacturing hub. By optimizing factory utilization and sharing development costs, the partnership will bolster operational excellence and provide long-term stability and employment opportunities for Valencia’s world-class automotive workforce. Under the proposed ownership structure Geely Auto will own 34% of the new entity and Ford will own 66%.

Geely Auto plans to produce two new energy models at the Valencia plant, with the first rolling off the production line in 2028. The venture supports Geely Auto's international expansion, following overseas sales of 474,228 vehicles in the first half of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 158%, making it one of the fastest growing Chinese automotive brands in the world.

Geely Auto’s partnership with Ford is built on a foundation of trust and respect stretching back to 2010 when Ford sold Volvo Cars to Geely and watched it protect and revitalize the brand. Both companies share a commitment to quality, cost-efficient sourcing and continuous improvement, as well as a belief that customers should be able to choose their own path through the energy transition.

“This strategic cooperation with Ford is an important step towards open collaboration and mutually beneficial to both parties. It represents a milestone in Geely Auto’s global development and will further solidify Geely’s presence in Europe”, said Alex Nan, Vice President of Geely Auto Group. “We are dedicated to delivering vehicles that European customers will choose on merit: on industry leading features, on high-quality and on actively contributing to Europe’s green future.”

“For nearly 50 years, Valencia has built some of the most-loved cars in our history, and now this team will help build our future,” said Jim Baumbick, president, Ford Europe. “That’s why we’re building a flexible, cost-effective industrial system with a capable partner in Geely Auto. Together we can fully utilize a great plant with a great workforce and match the industry’s new cost benchmark. This is all part of Ford’s vision to give European drivers rally-bred handling, true off-road capability and multi-energy technology, with a distinct Blue Oval DNA.”

EIC Limited today announced the availability of Complium in the Microsoft Marketplace, the unified online destination for customers to buy trusted cloud solutions, AI apps, and agents to meet their business needs.

EIC Limited customers can now discover and deploy trusted solutions through Microsoft Marketplace, with smooth integration and streamlined management across Microsoft Azure and other Microsoft products.

Founded in 2016, EIC Limited is a CREST-accredited, ISO 27001-certified information security and compliance firm serving financial institutions, payment processors, and technology enterprises across Asia-Pacific, Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

As a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) organization, EIC combines hands-on assessment expertise with its own technology platforms, building tools that reflect the exact standards its assessors apply in the field.

PCI DSS v4.0.1 is a complex standard, and the evidence organizations need to prove compliance is typically scattered across teams, tools, and cloud accounts. Existing compliance platforms map controls to a dashboard and stop there, leaving an assessor to rebuild the Report on Compliance by hand — and leaving the organization to separately find, contract, and coordinate a QSA firm to complete the assessment.

Complium is built to close that gap. The platform organizes evidence by requirement and produces packages structured to the official PCI DSS v4.0.1 ROC template: Coordinators gather evidence, AI drafts findings and testing notes, and an EIC QSA reviews and records the final compliance status, keeping every decision attributable to a qualified human assessor.

Because Complium is built and operated by EIC Limited, a QSA organization, the AI-enhanced platform and the PCI QSA who signs the validation come from the same firm — not a tool plus a separate assessor customers have to find, pay, and coordinate on their own.

Customers subscribe once and work with a single, accountable provider for both compliance evidence management and formal PCI DSS assessment.

Complium connects to Microsoft Azure through read-only integrations with Microsoft Entra ID for access-control and authentication evidence, Azure Activity Logs for audit-logging evidence, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud for configuration posture across network, secure-configuration, data-protection, and vulnerability control families.

The platform's AI capabilities, including evidence analysis and compliance guidance, are powered by Azure OpenAI through a configurable provider layer, with every AI-drafted output reviewed and accepted by an EIC QSA before it is recorded.

“Compliance evidence often lives in five different tools and two different vendors, and by the time it reaches an assessor, half the context is gone,” said Moshiul Islam Mishu, Founder and CEO of EIC Limited. “Complium closes that gap — the platform and the QSA validation come from the same firm, so nothing gets lost in translation.”

“We're pleased to welcome EIC Limited's Complium to Microsoft Marketplace,” said Cyril Belikoff, vice president, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing. “Marketplace connects trusted solutions from global partners with customers worldwide, making it easy to find and deploy apps that work seamlessly with Microsoft products.”

Microsoft Marketplace is a single destination to find, try, and buy trusted cloud solutions, AI apps, and agents to meet your business objectives. Choose from a growing collection of solutions tailored to your unique needs, available both in the marketplace and directly within Microsoft products.

Hollywood, California, United States, July 23, 2026 -- Catrak Technologies, Inc., developer of the Drivestream® fleet operations platform, today announced a strategic partnership with IMPROVLearning™, naming the company its official behavioral driver coaching and safety training partner.

Drivestream brings together GPS tracking, fleet telematics, fleet intelligence, vehicle security and driver safety management to give organizations real-time visibility into vehicles, drivers and assets.

The partnership will bring IMPROVLearning’s AI-powered NEURO IQ™ platform and proprietary SPIDER™ training methodology into the Drivestream experience. The integration will give fleet managers, supervisors and drivers a coordinated way to turn telematics data into personalized coaching, documented driver interventions and measurable efforts to improve behavior behind the wheel.

Commercial fleets now have access to more driver and vehicle data than at any previous point. Telematics systems can identify speeding, harsh braking, rapid acceleration and other driving patterns that may indicate elevated risk. However, collecting that information is only the beginning. In an increasingly complex liability environment, fleet operators must also be prepared to show how they responded when warning signs appeared.

The question is no longer limited to whether an organization knew about a potential safety concern. It increasingly includes what the organization did after identifying it.

By integrating behavioral coaching within Drivestream, fleet managers will be able to assign personalized training, document coaching activity and maintain an ongoing record of proactive driver development within the platform they already use.

“Knowing which drivers may be at risk is only half the equation. Knowing about a pattern and failing to act can significantly increase a fleet’s potential liability following a serious incident,” said Gary Alexander, CEO of IMPROVLearning™. “The real question is what happens next. Together with Catrak, we are helping fleets turn telematics data into meaningful driver intervention before an identified risk contributes to a preventable incident or costly verdict.”

Through the planned integration, supervisors will be able to assign coaching based on telematics trends, while NEURO IQ™ analyzes broader patterns in driver behavior and recommends targeted learning experiences. Drivers will receive individualized microlearning intended to improve awareness and decision-making. Supervisors, in turn, will gain a documented history of assigned coaching, completed training and other interventions.

The partnership will also provide access to IMPROVLearning’s commercial driver safety programs, powered by the SPIDER™ Method, a behavioral coaching framework designed to make safety concepts more engaging and memorable. SPIDER stands for Scan, Predict, Identify, Decide, Execute and Reflect, providing drivers with a structured process for recognizing hazards and responding to changing road conditions.

IMPROVLearning also maintains an extensive library of state-approved traffic violators, commercial driver’s licence and Department of Transportation compliance programs. Through the partnership, fleets will be able to support continuing driver development and applicable regulatory training through a more unified safety workflow.

Rather than relying exclusively on generic annual courses or responding only after a collision or violation, the integrated solution is intended to support continuous, data-informed coaching tailored to the behavioral profile of each driver. Training can be delivered in manageable sessions requiring less than 30 minutes per week, helping organizations incorporate driver development into ongoing fleet operations.

The resulting records may also help organizations demonstrate that identified driving concerns were met with timely coaching, training and follow-up. This creates a clearer account of proactive intervention while supporting improved driver performance and a more consistent fleet safety culture.

“By integrating IMPROVLearning directly into Drivestream, we are turning real-time fleet data into action,” said Mark Richardi, Chief Executive Officer of Catrak Technologies. “The partnership will help customers improve driver performance while demonstrating a proactive and documented commitment to fleet safety.”

The integrated fleet safety and behavioral coaching solution will be available to field service companies, commercial fleets, government agencies, transportation providers, contractors and enterprise organizations using the Drivestream platform.

IMPROVLearning has trained more than five million drivers nationwide and combines behavioral science, artificial intelligence and engaging educational content to support safer decision-making. Its NEURO IQ™ platform builds individualized behavioral profiles and delivers personalized coaching recommendations based on driving data and identified patterns. The company also provides driver education, defensive driving, traffic school and commercial fleet training programs.

About IMPROVLearning™

IMPROVLearning™ is a national provider of behavioral driver safety education that combines behavioral science, artificial intelligence and engaging learning experiences to improve driver performance. Through its AI-powered NEURO IQ™ platform and proprietary SPIDER™ Method, the company delivers personalized fleet coaching, commercial driver training, defensive driving, traffic violator and driver education programs. Having trained more than five million drivers, IMPROVLearning’s mission is to save lives and reduce costs through memorable driver training. For more information, visit www.IMPROVLearning.com.

The first phase will focus on markets including Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, with the aim of further promoting regional job conversion and increasing online user engagement.

According to the company, the community employment service centers will be built around an online service system. Through a digital platform, the centers will connect employment resources, community collaboration, and skills support functions, providing local users with more flexible ways to participate.

Compared with the traditional model of simply providing job information, MacroMT is placing greater emphasis on developing users’ ability to participate over the long term. The company hopes to improve user stability and sustained engagement through community-based operations.

According to MacroMT’s disclosed medium- and long-term development blueprint for Latin America, the initiative also represents an important step in the continued implementation of the company’s regional strategy.

Previously, the company’s community teams held multiple discussions with regional community organizations and partners, reaching a number of agreements regarding digital jobs, remote collaboration, and skills development. With the official launch of the community employment service centers, these plans are now beginning to move from preliminary discussions into the implementation stage.

Industry observers have noted that interest in online collaboration and digital employment has continued to grow across Latin America in recent years. However, some markets still lack stable community services and long-term support systems.

According to the company, MacroMT will provide services in areas including job matching, online collaboration guidance, basic skills support, and community interaction. These services are intended to help more users access digital employment opportunities through the internet.

This indicates that the company’s regional strategy is no longer limited to user growth, but is beginning to develop further toward a model combining community services and job conversion.

It is worth noting that, as preliminary testing and collaboration have gradually progressed, user engagement in certain regions has already shown an upward trend.

Market observers believe this indicates that the community collaboration model previously proposed by the platform is beginning to produce practical results. It also provides a foundation for the company to expand the scale of its regional operations.

From a technical perspective, MacroMT will continue to rely on its existing data coordination and system management capabilities to dynamically allocate job information and user demand across different regions, with the aim of improving overall operational efficiency.

MacroMT stated that it will continue to expand the coverage of its services in the Latin American market and promote the implementation of additional community cooperation projects.

Through the development of community employment service centers, the company hopes to further increase regional user participation and provide long-term support for the local digital employment ecosystem.

As regional job conversion efficiency and user engagement continue to increase, the company’s future performance in the Latin American market is expected to remain a focus of attention.

Users can trade seamlessly between supported crypto assets and U.S. stocks and ETFs in one step within the same app – a user journey in stark contrast to the friction experienced on other platforms where users are required to convert funds between fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies or stablecoins; or to transfer funds across multiple platforms and accounts.

The launch expands Uphold’s vision of a comprehensive financial experience, allowing users to access both traditional investments and digital assets from a single platform with a super-easy user experience.

With equities on Uphold, users can access equity trading with no Uphold commission, and can purchase fractional shares rather than whole shares, where available. Investors can get started with as little as $5, subject to account approval, fractional-share availability, minimum-order requirements and applicable terms. Equity investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

“People want one app for all of their investing - crypto included,” said Nancy Beaton, President, Uphold U.S.. “Equities on Uphold is designed to make that real. Uphold customers can now sell Bitcoin to buy Berkshire Hathaway shares in a single step on the app – with no clunky currency conversions and without needing to transfer funds between stablecoins or cash balances.”  

Uphold expects to quickly expand to extended trading hours to 24 hours a day, five days a week, giving users access to trade pre-market, afterhours and overnight sessions. Users will then have flexibility to respond to international economic data. 

According to industry data, more than 160 million Americans now own stocks, representing approximately 62% of U.S. adults. At the same time, retail participation in digital assets continues to expand, driving demand for platforms that bring together traditional and blockchain-based financial products.

This approach breaks away from the conventional mindset in tech development — the inertia of "features first, safety later.” From day one, SIVP was designed with safety as a non-negotiable foundation, not an optional add-on. The precision of obstacle detection in low-speed scenarios, the braking redundancy when a pedestrian suddenly crosses the path, and the reliability of sensors in extreme conditions like high heat and dust — none of these are supplementary features added after the user experience. Rather, they are fundamental prerequisites that must be met before the feature can even exist.

Parking lots are often perceived as low-speed, low-risk zones — but the reality is far more complex than it appears. Stationary vehicles, strolling pedestrians, temporary obstacles, narrow lanes, and even children chasing a football as they dart out from behind obstructions — these can emerge simultaneously within seconds. Under EXEED SIVP's functional architecture, the system assesses lateral clearance when encountering stationary vehicles or temporary obstructions to decide whether to steer around or pause for driver intervention. It maintains a safe following distance behind slow-moving pedestrians. When sudden risks arise — a child darting from behind an obstacle — the system prioritizes emergency braking above all else.

Underpinning all of this is EXEED's fundamental understanding of redundancy: not merely about stacking hardware, but building sufficient safety margins across perception, decision-making, control, and responsibility boundaries — long before a critical moment arises. A vehicle must not only detect targets; it must also choose a more prudent strategy in uncertain environments. It must not only complete the parking maneuver, but also know when to stop decisively when conditions fall short. For SIVP, successfully pulling into a parking space is merely the outcome. How the vehicle safely reaches that parking space — that is the true core of the system's capability.

This safety logic perfectly echoes EXEED's broader commitment to excellence, mirroring the top five-star Euro NCAP 2025 safety ratings earned by the EXLANTIX ES and ET from EXEED's premium EV lineup. EXEED's commitment to safety has never relied on strength in a single point. Instead, it is built upon a comprehensive framework that spans vehicle design, proactive risk anticipation, threat intervention, and collision protection. Therefore, SIVP is not just an isolated showcase of cutting-edge technology; rather, it is EXEED's safety philosophy seamlessly extended to the low-speed parking domain. From high-speed collisions to low-speed parking, from occupant protection to pedestrian safety, from structural integrity to intelligent braking — when it comes to safety, there are no secondary scenarios. With new SIVP-equipped EXEED models heading to the Middle East, the system will undergo rigorous localized validation in extreme heat and complex road conditions — guaranteeing performance that precisely aligns with the real-world environments of global users.

New York, United States, July 22, 2026 -- KIDZ AI Inc. (“KIDZ AI” or the “Company”), a leading provider of live online learning and AI-powered education solutions, today announced that it has entered into a definitive 60-month enterprise AI compute services agreement with Canopy Wave, Inc., with an aggregate contract value of $44.6 million. The agreement is subject to the Company’s subsidiary placing a non-cancellable order for the GPU servers necessary to perform its services under the agreement.

Canopy Wave is a leading AI inference platform specializing in the deployment of top-tier open models, uniquely optimized to run affordable AI breakthroughs – including Moonshot AI’s 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 and DeepSeek architectures – with industry-leading cost efficiency.

Under the terms of the agreement, KIDZ AI’s wholly owned subsidiary, Catalyst Compute LLC, will order and deploy a dedicated cluster of 256 NVIDIA HGX B300 GPUs across 32 specialized GPU nodes, each equipped with dual Intel Xeon 6776P processors, 4TB of DDR5 memory, and ultra-fast 800Gb/s InfiniBand interconnectivity.

A DIFFERENTIATED NEOCLOUD MODEL

The agreement reflects how KIDZ AI seeks to differentiate its neocloud model from the broader field of GPU cloud providers: rather than deploying merchant capacity and competing on raw scale, the Company pairs infrastructure deployments with long-term contracted enterprise demand and purpose-builds for what it believes is one of the fastest-growing segments of the market – high-throughput, cost-efficient inference on open-weight frontier models.

The Company believes recent market developments support this positioning. Open-weight models such as Kimi K3 have meaningfully narrowed the capability gap with leading proprietary models at substantially lower token cost, and KIDZ AI expects economic efficiency – cost per token, throughput, latency, and utilization – to become an increasingly important competitive differentiator as affordable AI expands the addressable market for compute. Canopy Wave’s capabilities across optimized inference, AI cloud services, and enterprise-grade GPU infrastructure align KIDZ AI with demand-side inference workloads, and the Company believes the partnership can serve as a repeatable template for future deployments.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Today’s agreement is just the beginning of our journey with KIDZ AI,” said Tao Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Canopy Wave. “We look forward to helping KIDZ AI scale additional GPU clusters and turn this infrastructure into powerful token factories for the enterprise AI market. By combining KIDZ AI’s next-generation compute platform with Canopy Wave’s optimized inference capabilities, we believe we can deliver secure, cost-efficient, enterprise-grade AI inference services with strong data privacy protections to enterprises across the United States.”

“This milestone contract is an important step in KIDZ AI’s evolution into a broader AI technology and infrastructure platform,” said Stephanie Luo, Chief Executive Officer of KIDZ AI. “What we believe sets our neocloud model apart is pairing next-generation computing infrastructure with long-term contracted enterprise demand – a scalable commercial foundation rather than speculative capacity, and a model we aim to repeat across future deployments and partnerships.”

“Cost-efficient open-weight models such as DeepSeek and Kimi are shifting the AI market from a race defined by raw scale to one increasingly defined by economic efficiency,” Luo continued. “Canopy Wave’s strength in optimized inference aligns directly with this shift, and we believe affordable AI will be one of the most powerful structural forces driving the next phase of adoption.”

Additionally, together with JD.com, Hasbro officially opened pre-orders for the “Studio Series Generation 1 Seeker Storm Pack,” sparking strong collector interest among enthusiasts.

The Transformers Design Co-Creation Program also made its public debut at Bilibili World, presenting its orginal works together for the first time. The exhibition is expected to travel to additional locations, allowing more fans to experience these designs and witness the continued evolution of Transformers culture through Eastern-inspired creativity.

According to Jenny Chen, Bilibili World provides an important platform for connecting with younger audiences and introducing the Transformers brand to a new generation of fans. In addition to its presence at Bilibili World, Transformers also participated in the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, where the Dolby Vision edition of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE received its global premiere at Shanghai Film Art Center. Together, these initiatives not only commemorate the film’s 40th anniversary, but also reflect Hasbro’s ongoing efforts to explore deeper collaborations between global entertainment IPs and local cultural and creative industries. Through these initiatives, Hasbro aims to deliver meaningful experiences for fans while contributing to the development of local culture, tourism, and entertainment.

For forty years, the Transformers franchise has continued to evolve through creativity, innovation, and cultural storytelling. By embracing the exchange of ideas between East and West and continuously enhancing fan experiences, the brand has expanded beyond its origins to become a dynamic global franchise with enduring appeal. Just as THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE celebrated the passing of the Matrix of Leadership and the rise of a new generation of heroes, the Transformers franchise will continue to inspire new creators, new stories, and new possibilities in the years ahead. As the spark of creativity and imagination continues to be passed forward, the legacy of the Transformers brand will live on, and fans can look forward to even more exciting experiences as the 40th anniversary celebration continues.

Shanghai, China, July 21, 2026 -- On July 17, 2026, Maniformer today announced that its Chairman and CEO, Maoqing Yao, presented the company’s approach to addressing three key challenges in Physical AI—data scarcity, physical-world representation, and closed-loop learning—at the WAIC 2026 Embodied Intelligence Forum. During his presentation, Yao highlighted scalable data infrastructure and end-to-end learning systems as important enablers for the development and real-world deployment of general-purpose Physical AI.

Co-hosted by AGIBOT and Maniformer, the forum brought together industry participants to discuss advances in embodied intelligence. Yao, who also serves as Partner, Senior Vice President, and President of the Embodied Intelligence Business Unit at AGIBOT, focused his remarks on the technical and data challenges affecting the development of Physical AI.

Three Barriers Slowing Physical AI

According to Yao, the next breakthrough in Physical AI depends on overcoming three fundamental challenges:

• Data bottlenecks, caused by the scarcity of large-scale, high-quality real-world interaction data.
• Representation challenges, which make it difficult for AI systems to accurately model and understand the physical world.
• Closed-loop learning limitations, preventing robots from continuously improving through real-world deployment.

"Scaling models alone is not enough," Yao noted. "Physical AI requires a complete learning loop that connects data, models, simulation, deployment, and continuous optimization."

Building an End-to-End Learning Framework

To address these challenges, AGIBOT has developed an end-to-end technology framework spanning pre-training, mid-training, and scalable online post-training to optimize its Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for generalist robots. This closed-loop system continually trains models across robot fleets to adapt to real-world environments while retaining general capabilities.

Rather than relying on a single model architecture, the company's roadmap advances two complementary directions in parallel: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for embodied decision-making and World Action Models (WAM) for modeling physical interactions. These efforts are designed to converge into a unified World Reasoning Action Model (WRAM) that integrates perception, reasoning, and action within a single foundation model.

Supporting this architecture is a large-scale training infrastructure that combines simulation, reinforcement learning, and distributed real-robot training, enabling continuous iteration across both virtual and physical environments.

Data as the Foundation of Physical AI

Yao emphasized that advances in model capability must be matched by advances in data infrastructure.

"Without scalable, high-quality physical-world data, even the most advanced models will struggle to generalize in real-world environments," he said.

To support large-scale Physical AI development, Maniformer has built an end-to-end data infrastructure spanning data acquisition, governance, management, and deployment.

The ecosystem includes the MEgo series of data collection devices, the MEgo Engine data governance platform, and the AGIBOT WORLD real-world robot dataset. Together, these components form a layered data supply pyramid and a deployment feedback flywheel, allowing operational robot data to continuously improve future model training.

This integrated model-and-data flywheel has already been validated in production environments, including large-scale deployment on consumer electronics manufacturing lines, where robotic task execution achieved up to a 99.99% task success rate in selected production scenarios.

"Models determine where intelligence begins, but data determines where it can ultimately go," Yao said. "Only through a continuously evolving model-and-data flywheel can Physical AI overcome today's barriers and move toward general-purpose intelligence."

As Physical AI continues to evolve from research to large-scale commercial deployment, Yao believes the industry's next breakthroughs will depend not only on stronger foundation models, but also on scalable data infrastructure capable of continuously improving intelligence through real-world experience.

About Maniformer

Maniformer is a world-leading Physical AI data infrastructure company providing end-to-end solutions for real-world data acquisition, governance, management, and deployment. Through its scalable data platform and global ecosystem, Maniformer helps organizations develop, deploy, and continuously improve intelligent robotic systems.

Milan, July 21, 2026 -- The Lega Pallavolo Serie A Femminile, Italy's Women's Volleyball League Serie A, has prepared the most extensive coverage ever for the new season: for the next three years, matches in Italy's top women's volleyball league, LVF A1 Fineco, will be available on Rai, DAZN, and on the social media channels of the league, the clubs and the players through a distribution model that is unprecedented in Italy. The programme is led by Spike Media, the joint venture between the Women's Volleyball League and Gameday, the sports, media and entertainment company that is part of NJF Holdings, the international investment group founded by Nicole Junkermann.

A series of agreements has been concluded by Spike Media, which manages the rights to the LVF Serie A women's volleyball leagues, for the allocation of rights for the 2026 to 2027 season. Rai remains the partner for free-to-air coverage. Under an unprecedented agreement, DAZN, the sports entertainment platform, will broadcast the entire regular season right through to the Scudetto play-offs of Italy's top league, the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa, the Italian Super Cup and the LVF A2 Fineco.

But that's not all: the LVF A1 Fineco and the LVF A2 Fineco can also be followed via the league's, the clubs' and the players' social media channels. For the first time in Italy, three matches per matchday during the regular season will be broadcast not only on the official channels of the Women's Volleyball League, but also on the social media channels of the clubs involved and those of the players.

A Changing Market for Women's Sport

The agreement reflects the rapid growth of women's sport worldwide. While Italy's Serie A1 is widely regarded as the world's top women's volleyball league, its media exposure has not matched its competitive reputation. The new distribution strategy aims to change that.

Rather than concentrating rights with a single broadcaster, the model combines free-to-air television, premium streaming and distribution through the social channels of the league, its clubs and its players. Each layer serves a different audience; together they give the league a reach no single partner could provide.

"European sport doesn't need to import its future from elsewhere; it can build it. What we've done in Italy, together with the Women's Volleyball League, is align a national broadcaster, a global streaming platform and the athletes themselves around a single distribution model. That took time, and a willingness to rethink how rights are structured. We think the same approach can work elsewhere, and Gameday is already looking at where to apply it next," said Nicole Junkermann, founder of NJF Holdings.

"As Spike Media, with the support of Gameday and the Women's Volleyball League, our aim is to bring women's volleyball to an ever-wider audience. We are aware that the way users follow sport is changing, and it is becoming increasingly necessary to meet the new needs not only of fans but also of those who are simply curious. By involving traditional broadcasters, OTT platforms, as well as the league, clubs and players via their social media channels, we will offer the most accessible volleyball league ever. For the first time in Italy, it won't just be the fans looking for a match to watch; the match itself will find the fans," commented Simone Tomassetti, General Media at Spike Media.

From Italian Blueprint to International Playbook

For NJF Holdings and Nicole Junkermann, the Italian partnership is the first full expression of Gameday's league transformation model. Gameday doesn't act as an external agency selling rights on a league's behalf. It works inside the league: Spike Media is a joint venture in which the Women's Volleyball League and Gameday manage the rights package, the distribution strategy and the audience data together. The rights agreements announced today are the visible result; the structural change beneath them is the point.

Gameday is now in discussions with leagues and federations in other countries about applying the same structure, with a focus on strong competitions whose commercial arrangements haven't kept pace with them. The Italian model was built to close that gap, and it is designed to travel.

Denver, Colorado, United States, July 21, 2026 -- APR, the independent global marketing production advisory that pioneered “production consulting” nearly 30 years ago, today announced the appointment of Patrick Lafferty as Chief Executive Officer. The strategic elevation underscores APR’s commitment to navigating relentless content demands by shaping more effective production ecosystems across creative, high-volume content, experiential, and ever-emerging channels for the world’s leading brands.

The appointment marks the culmination of a planned succession process that began with Lafferty's appointment as President earlier this year. As he assumes responsibility for the day-to-day leadership of APR, owner & founder Jillian Gibbs will focus on representing the company across the industry while advancing production as a strategic business discipline, through thought leadership and speaking engagements, as well as further leveraging her book, The Marketer’s Guide to Creative Production.

The leadership transition comes as AI reshapes every aspect of content creation, production, and marketing operations. Building on its foundation as the industry's leading production advisory, APR helps clients navigate complex decisions around procuring in-house and external production models, partner/roster ecosystems, and the technologies reshaping how marketing content and experiences get produced.

“Brands are rethinking how work flows through their organizations in an AI-driven world,” said Lafferty. “They’re confronting a series of interconnected decisions about which capabilities belong inside the company and how they balance work with agency, production, and technology partners. Clients need independent, unbiased advisors with expertise and experience who can help them reimagine the entire content ecosystem rather than just optimize individual parts of it. That’s the opportunity we see for APR.”

Lafferty brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across some of the world’s most respected marketing, media, and agency organizations. He served as COO of Acceleration Community of Companies (ACC), President of mcgarrybowen and Translation, CEO of BBH North America, Chief Marketing Officer of Discovery’s Travel Channel, and has held senior leadership positions at McCann and Leo Burnett. He has built his career helping marketing organizations turn shifting market dynamics into growth by connecting creativity, technology, and operations.

Gibbs, a self-proclaimed “production optimist” who defined the production consulting category and built APR into the world’s most influential production advisory, will continue to help shape the company’s long-term vision, drawing on three decades of experience defining industry standards, advancing more transparent and efficient production models, and elevating production as a strategic business driver.

“APR was built around helping clients navigate change and solve challenges they experience in marketing production,” said Gibbs. “That’s been true since we pioneered production consulting, and it’s just as true today as marketing organizations face significant change relative to content creation. Patrick brings the rare combination of deep industry experience, a willingness to challenge conventional approaches that this moment requires and is a thoughtful and intentional leader.”

Today, APR advises more than 400 brands worldwide, including Fortune 500 companies such as Constellation Brands and Google, leveraging a global footprint spanning 55 cities, hands-on experience with more than 3,000 agencies and production companies, and intelligence informed by billions of dollars in annual marketing production spend. Through ACERO™, its proprietary production intelligence platform, APR defines historical and should-cost benchmarks to help clients make smarter decisions about investments and partnerships, unlocking greater value across their content ecosystem.

Greeley, Colorado, United States, July 21, 2026 -- BAS Part Sales, LLC, an aviation parts supplier and e-commerce company serving aircraft owners, operators, repair stations, MROs, overhaul shops, fleet managers, and maintenance teams worldwide, has announced its return to the 2026 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition with a larger presence and a broader focus on business aviation parts sourcing, Core Exchange, inventory acquisition, and long-term industry partnerships.

The 2026 NBAA-BACE event is scheduled for October 20-22, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event brings together business aviation professionals, aircraft, technology, and industry solutions from across the market. BAS Part Sales’ return follows its first NBAA-BACE appearance in 2025, which helped create new relationships, strengthen its visibility in business aviation, and open broader opportunities across parts sales, aircraft acquisition, and industry collaboration.

For BAS Part Sales, the 2026 appearance represents more than a booth announcement. It marks the next stage in a growth story that began with a straightforward idea: make aircraft parts easier to find, evaluate, and purchase. In a market where maintenance teams often work against aircraft downtime, unclear availability, and long sourcing cycles, BAS has built its operating model around visible inventory, published pricing, actual-unit photos, traceability information where documented, secure online checkout, and fast fulfillment.

That same approach now extends to the BAS Core Exchange Program, launched in 2026 to bring clearer online access to eligible exchange components. The program includes visible inventory, published pricing, high-resolution photos of actual units, online purchasing, fast shipping, and defined core return terms, helping customers better understand what is available and move forward with less unnecessary back-and-forth.

“Last year’s NBAA-BACE showed us how much demand there is for a faster, clearer way to source business aviation parts,” says Clinton McJenkin, Director of Sales and Marketing at BAS Part Sales. “We left Las Vegas with new relationships and a much broader view of what BAS could bring to this market. Since then, our turbine business has continued to grow, we launched Core Exchange, and we are returning with a larger presence and a more focused conversation around buying, selling, sourcing, and long-term partnership opportunities.”

BAS Part Sales is headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, with multi-state operations in Colorado and Missouri, including BAS Kansas City in Bates City, Missouri. The company serves customers worldwide and supports general aviation and business jet fleets through aircraft parts sales, aircraft acquisition, component recovery, global fulfillment, and Core Exchange.

The company’s 2026 NBAA-BACE strategy is centered on meeting MROs, repair stations, overhaul shops, component shops, fleet managers, operators, suppliers, and organizations with aircraft, inventories, or cores to sell. BAS will use the event to discuss parts sourcing, aircraft and inventory acquisition, exchange opportunities, and ways to support maintenance teams with more accessible online aircraft parts solutions.

“Every part we pull and ship keeps a plane flying for less,” states Jared Boles, Founder and President of BAS Part Sales. “That's the reason BAS is in this network. We're moving the parts market in the right direction, and the industry is starting to notice.”

BAS Part Sales’ model is built on acquiring aircraft that are no longer practical to return to service, disassembling them with purpose, and turning usable components into organized, ready-to-ship inventory. The company’s online platform is designed to reduce delays and uncertainty by giving buyers access to the information they need before they have to ask, including price, photos, condition details, documentation where available, and return eligibility.

As NBAA-BACE 2026 approaches, BAS Part Sales is inviting business aviation professionals to meet with its team at Booth 4129, located near the main show entrance corridor and close to one of the convention’s primary traffic areas, to discuss aircraft parts sourcing, Core Exchange, inventory opportunities, aircraft acquisition, and potential partnerships across the maintenance and aviation supply chain.

Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, July 21, 2026 -- Prescription drug costs in the United States remain among the highest in the world. Americans on daily medications often pay hundreds or thousands of dollars per month for drugs that are available in other countries for a fraction of the price. The same pill, same manufacturer, same dosage, comes at a completely different cost depending on where it is purchased. For millions of Americans, that difference isn't an inconvenience. It's a barrier to the medication they need.

The gap isn't anecdotal. As per a RAND report, U.S. prescription drug prices across all drugs were found to be 2.78 times higher than prices in 33 comparable OECD countries. For brand-name drugs specifically, the ratio was even higher. Canada is among the countries in the comparison where prices are significantly lower than U.S. levels.

The consequence is measurable. According to West Health, only 55% of Americans report being able to afford and access prescription drugs. Patients skip doses, split pills, or go without entirely because the retail price at an American pharmacy is unmanageable. These cases represent a pattern that affects many households across the country.

PricePro Pharmacy is a licensed Canadian pharmacy based in Surrey, British Columbia, that has built its service around this specific problem. The pharmacy fills U.S. prescriptions and ships brand-name and generic medications directly to American patients at Canadian prices. Most medications on its formulary are available at savings of up to 80% compared to U.S. retail pharmacy prices. The pharmacy is open seven days a week and serves all 50 states.

This fully certified and licensed establishment operates in accordance with Canadian pharmacy regulatory standards and employs licensed pharmacist staff who review all prescriptions and are available for consultations. The same brand-name medications available at U.S. pharmacies, including widely prescribed drugs for blood thinners, diabetes, respiratory conditions, and hormone treatments, are available through PricePro at internationally sourced prices. Patients receive the same product. The label, the manufacturer, and the dosage are identical. The only thing that changes is the cost.

The process at PricePro Pharmacy is straightforward. Patients upload their existing U.S. prescription through the pharmacy's secure online portal. The prescription is reviewed by licensed pharmacist staff. Then, the order is filled and shipped to the patient's home address in the United States. PricePro Pharmacy ships from its Canadian dispensary and from a network of international fulfillment centers, allowing it to serve high-volume demand while maintaining consistent delivery timelines.

About the company: PricePro Pharmacy is a licensed Canadian online pharmacy based in Surrey, British Columbia, providing Americans with access to brand-name and generic prescription medications at Canadian and international prices. The pharmacy ships to all 50 U.S. states, employs licensed pharmacist staff, and is open seven days a week.

Madison, WI, Wisconsin, United States, July 21, 2026 -- Casper Mehlos Law Group, LLC is pleased to announce that Attorney Corey G. Mehlos has been elected as the President of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL). As President of WACDL, Attorney Mehlos is focused on advancing the organization's impact throughout the state of Wisconsin on behalf of over 400 criminal defense lawyers through delivering high-impact professional development programming, spurring criminal justice reform, and zealously protecting the constitutional rights of people accused of crimes. WACDL delivers a series of high-impact professional development programs and collaborative strategic resources for its members that elevate the skills of its criminal defense attorney members so that they can champion the constitutional rights of their clients throughout the state of Wisconsin.

Attorney Mehlos has served on WACDL’s Executive Board for the past seven years. As a criminal defense lawyer, he has been recognized by Super Lawyers for the last eight years, a peer-nominated designation reserved for approximately 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state of Wisconsin. In the courtroom, Attorney Mehlos has consistently achieved successful outcomes for his clients, particularly in complex criminal defense litigation. Attorney Mehlos has consistently won not guilty verdicts at trial and secured full dismissal of all criminal charges prior to trial in the most serious felony cases, ranging from First Degree Intentional Homicide, Second Degree Intentional Homicide, First Degree Reckless Homicide, First Degree Sexual Assault, and Second Degree Sexual Assault among other serious cases. In 2023, The National Registry of Exonerations recognized Attorney Mehlos for his work exonerating an innocent man at trial following his conviction in a serious felony case that was originally charged as Attempted First Degree Intentional Homicide amongst a number of other seroius felony charges. At the first trial with a different lawyer, Attorney Mehlos’ client was convicted of four criminal counts after four of the State’s witnesses testified that he confessed to the crimes. Yet Attorney Mehlos prevailed at second trial, demonstrating that the purported confession was not actually a confession and ultimately delivered overwhelming evidence in support of his client’s innocence, resulting in his full acquittal of all criminal charges.

Prior to becoming a lawyer, Attorney Mehlos graduated with honors from the University of Notre Dame, earning his undergraduate degree, before graduating with honors from the University of Wisconsin Law School. At the University of Wisconsin Law School, Attorney Mehlos worked in The Wisconsin Innocence Project on a number of complex cases alleging homicide and sexual assault. He developed advanced investigation and DNA analysis defense strategies that resulted in one of his clients having his conviction vacated in a case alleging First Degree Sexual Assault, freeing him from prison 26 years before he otherwise would have been released. As a trial lawyer, Attorney Mehlos collaborates with leading international, national, and statewide experts in the fields of DNA, neurology, toxicology, and forensic psychology to tailor trial defenses and mitigation strategies to ultimately achieve the best possible outcomes for his clients.

Attorney Mehlos speaks nationally and statewide at legal conferences. He has been featured on ESPN and C-SPAN as a debater. He is the co-founder of Casper Mehlos Law Group, LLC, serving clients in state and federal courts throughout the state of Wisconsin.

Biocon Limited (BSE: 532523; NSE: BIOCON), an innovation-led global biopharmaceutical company, announced that its long-standing partner, Duopharma Biotech Berhad (“Duopharma Biotech”) via its wholly-owned subsidiary Duopharma (M) Sendirian Berhad, has secured multiple insulin contracts from the Ministry of Health (MoH), Malaysia, valued at over MYR 225 million this year. As part of these contracts, Biocon’s subsidiary, Biocon Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia, will supply short-acting recombinant human insulin, insulin glargine and insulin aspart to Duopharma (M) Sendirian Berhad for distribution, supporting continued access to high-quality, cost-effective insulin therapies for people living with diabetes in Malaysia.

The contracts comprise a three-year agreement valued at ~~~~~ MYR 155.27 million for human insulin, along with two 2-year agreements: ~ MYR 18 million for insulin glargine and ~ MYR 52.5 million for insulin aspart. In line with policies indicated in the 13th Malaysia Plan (“RMK-13”) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (“NIMP 2030”), both companies are committed to helping patients with diabetes achieve better healthcare outcomes by ensuring a steady and accessible medicine supply.

Shreehas Tambe, CEO & Managing Director, Biocon Limited, said: “Malaysia has been central to Biocon’s insulin journey for over a decade, anchored by our integrated insulin manufacturing facility in the country – the largest in Asia. Our Johor operations enable us to deliver insulin at scale, expanding patient access in Malaysia and around the world. This reinforces our strategy to address growing healthcare needs while advancing our mission of making life-changing medicines affordable and accessible to patients everywhere.”

Joe Sian, Site Head, Biocon Sdn. Bhd., said: “Biocon’s partnership with Duopharma Biotech has helped expand access to insulin therapies for patients in Malaysia. With an estimated 4.75 million people living with diabetes in the country, ensuring affordable insulin supply is essential. This collaboration enables us to support patients across our full portfolio of insulin products.”

Encik Wan Amir-Jeffery Wan Abdul Majid, GCEO, Duopharma Biotech Berhad, said: “Duopharma Biotech is delighted and honoured to mark a decade in supporting the healthcare ecosystem together with our long-standing partner – Biocon, alongside welcoming new contracts to supply insulin products to Malaysian patients. It is more critical than ever to have robust domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity to safeguard patient access to essential medicines, strengthening national medicine security and achieving healthcare self-reliance for the country.”

Biocon has been working with Duopharma Biotech since 2016 to address Malaysia’s growing diabetes burden. Through this collaboration, over 120 million insulin cartridges have been supplied to the MoH facilities over the past decade, supporting more than 450,000 patients in the Malaysia public healthcare system. Beyond diabetes care, both companies have also worked closely in oncology for more than seven years and have recently expanded into ophthalmology biologics, further improving access to high-quality biologic therapies for patients across Malaysia.

Recently, Biocon has partnered with the Malaysian government to contribute its industry expertise to the MyMAHIR BioTechies initiative, supporting the skilling of biotech graduates and helping bridge the academia–industry gap.

The analysis cites national crash figures and examines the distribution, causes, and temporal patterns associated with large-truck incidents. According to sources cited in the firm’s review, 5,218 large trucks were involved in a fatal crash in 2024, representing a 3 percent decrease from 2023. The same year saw a total of 5,340 lives lost in large-truck crashes, a toll in which roughly 70 percent of those killed were occupants of other vehicles while pedestrians and cyclists accounted for an additional portion of the fatalities. Bailey & Galyen Attorneys at Law, through its Texas truck accident lawyers, noted that those figures reflect both changing exposure and persistent safety gaps on high-volume corridors.

Nonfatal crashes present a distinct pattern. Data referenced in the analysis show 120,724 large trucks involved in injury-causing crashes in 2024, an increase of 5.4 percent from the prior year, while the number of people injured in those incidents rose by 5 percent to reach 161,201. The firm’s review underscores that injury crashes involving large trucks have increased 18 percent since 2016, indicating that reductions in fatal outcomes have not been accompanied by a comparable decline in the frequency of serious, nonfatal crashes.

Geography and time of day feature prominently in the distribution of events. More than half of fatal large-truck crashes occur on rural roads, with approximately one quarter taking place on interstates, and the majority of fatal crashes occurring during daylight hours rather than at night. The analysis points to state-level variations tied to freight density, with Texas cited as a notable example; Texas recorded 18,834 large truck crashes in 2024, of which 645 were fatal. Major freight corridors such as I-35, I-10, I-20, and I-45 are identified as corridors with heavy concentrations of truck traffic, and the analysis highlights that certain stretches of those interstates have accumulated substantial numbers of fatalities over recent five-year periods.

Temporal patterns extend beyond daylight versus nighttime. The analysis identifies weekly clustering of incidents, with midweek and late-week days showing higher shares in prior assessments and Thursdays noted as recurring days with elevated incident counts. Seasonal clustering also appears: September and October have historically shown higher shares of fatal large-truck crashes compared with other months in multiple years of data, a pattern that has not yielded a single definitive explanation in the literature cited by the firm.

The analysis also reviews shifting contributing factors. Speeding remains the most commonly cited driver-related factor in fatal crashes involving both truck and passenger vehicle drivers. For truck drivers specifically, distraction and inattention rank as the second most common contributing factor in federal crash reports referenced in the review. By contrast, alcohol and illegal drug involvement each account for less than 0.5 percent of incidents in the federal data cited. Aggressive driving behaviors, including tailgating, hard braking, and lane blocking, are estimated in the referenced data to contribute to roughly 5 percent of truck accidents, a share that has remained relatively stable in recent years.

Fatigue and regulatory enforcement appear in the analysis as recurring themes. The report notes that thousands of crashes occur during overnight hours when fatigue-related impairment can affect reaction time and judgment in ways comparable to alcohol impairment. Federal hours-of-service regulations are acknowledged as a statutory framework intended to limit continuous driving, but the analysis reports that enforcement of those rules has fluctuated over time and that gaps in oversight have, at times, allowed fatigued driving to persist despite regulatory limits on paper.

Preliminary data from 2025 are addressed in the analysis as well. Those early figures indicate continued reductions in fatal large-truck crashes in some states, including Texas, while counts of injury crashes have remained largely consistent year over year. The firm’s review frames these mixed signals as indicative of incremental progress on some measures of severity while underscoring the persistence of serious incidents and the continued prevalence of nonfatal crashes that produce injuries.

The analysis concludes that the overall national trend is one of modest improvements in certain fatality measures coexisting with a longer-term rise in truck crashes and in nonfatal crashes that cause injury. The firm’s Texas truck accident lawyers are positioned in the review as observers of the data and of regional patterns, and the review highlights the continuing concentration of risk on specific corridors and time periods.

Backyard gatherings frequently center on grilling, and smoke behavior on still evenings can create conditions that interfere with comfort and air quality. Smoke that settles over a patio or under a pergola often lingers at seating height, where it can cling to hair and clothing and enter breathing zones. Hunter Fan’s initiative emphasizes the role of improved overhead airflow in covered areas as a practical response to those conditions and the negative effects that can follow when air is allowed to stagnate.

The company frames this effort as a response to an operational issue: many covered patios, porches, and outdoor kitchens trap air rather than allowing smoke to rise and disperse. In spaces where air movement is restricted by roofs, overhangs, or dense surrounding landscaping, smoke from charcoal and wood grills can remain near occupants. Hunter Fan’s initiative spotlights efficient outdoor ceiling fans as a means to maintain steady airflow across seating zones, limiting the tendency for smoke to pool where guests dine and socialize.

The initiative intersects with documented changes in consumer behavior. Current outdoor living trends show homeowners increasingly treating patios as extensions of interior living space, outfitting them for comfort, functionality, and longer seasonal use. As more homeowners design for year-round utility, attention to airflow has become part of a broader suite of considerations that includes lighting, shade, and seating layout. Hunter Fan positions efficient outdoor ceiling fans as a component that can be integrated into those designs to support usable, comfortable outdoor rooms.

Health considerations are part of the rationale behind the initiative. Outdoor smoke is not without consequence: fine particles produced by grilling can irritate eyes and airways, particularly for children, older adults, and individuals with respiratory sensitivities. The initiative cites the precaution that repeated exposure to smoke particles can affect breathing over time and frames improved outdoor airflow as a measure that can reduce prolonged exposure during frequent or extended gatherings.

Practical measures encouraged through the initiative reflect observations about common backyard layouts. Where comfortable seating sits directly in the path of rising smoke, overhead airflow that covers the seating area can reduce concentrations of particles at head height. Compared with portable, localized fans, ceiling-mounted units distribute moving air across a broader footprint, supporting more even clearing of stagnant zones. In covered outdoor kitchens and built-in grill stations, the placement of a ceiling fan above the main seating area is presented as a change that can alter how smoke moves through the space.

The initiative also addresses placement and timing considerations that influence smoke behavior. In addition to advocating efficient outdoor ceiling fans in covered zones, Hunter Fan’s program outlines situational adjustments such as siting seating relative to prevailing breezes, positioning grills so smoke drifts away from occupied areas, and scheduling airflow use during cooler evening hours when smoke can remain closer to ground level. The initiative underscores that modest adjustments to layout and airflow timing can complement mechanical solutions and reduce instances of guests moving away from smoke during gatherings.

Hunter Fan intends the initiative to inform designers, homeowners, and remodelers about how airflow and simple mechanical installations fit into contemporary backyard planning. The company frames the work as an effort to align practical performance with evolving expectations for outdoor comfort, not as a prescriptive renovation requirement. By focusing on how efficient outdoor ceiling fans operate within typical covered layouts and on the interaction between ventilation and smoke behavior, the initiative seeks to clarify options for homeowners who are renovating or furnishing outdoor living areas.

Seattle-Tacoma, WA, Washington, United States, July 17, 2026 -- Digital.Marketing, a full-service digital marketing agency specializing in search engine optimization, paid media, content marketing, and AI-driven digital marketing services, today announced the development of a custom artificial intelligence software platform designed to help clients create and manage both on-site content and off-site content used for link building and digital authority campaigns.

The new platform brings multiple components of the content marketing process into a unified AI-powered workflow. Clients can use the software to develop content for their own websites while also supporting the creation of relevant, publication-ready content for off-site placements, contributed articles, digital PR campaigns, and link-building initiatives.

Unlike general-purpose AI writing tools, the Digital.Marketing platform is being developed specifically around the workflows and requirements of organic search marketing. The system is designed to incorporate target keywords, topical relevance, semantic coverage, internal linking opportunities, brand guidelines, intended audiences, and campaign objectives when producing content.

The platform is intended to help marketing teams increase content production without treating AI-generated content as a substitute for strategy, editorial oversight, or subject-matter expertise.

“AI has made it dramatically easier to produce words, but simply producing more content is not a marketing strategy,” said Timothy Carter, CRO of Digital.Marketing. “The opportunity is to connect AI directly to the objectives that actually matter to a business—search visibility, topical authority, quality backlinks, brand exposure, and ultimately revenue. We built this platform around those outcomes rather than building another generic AI writing tool.”

For on-site content, the software can assist with the development of service pages, landing pages, blog posts, educational resources, supporting topical content, and other search-focused assets. Content workflows can be structured around specific keywords and topics while taking into account the broader semantic relationships between pages across a client's website.

The system is also designed to support off-site content campaigns. Digital.Marketing can use the platform to help develop relevant content for third-party websites and publications as part of broader link-building and digital PR initiatives. This allows on-site SEO strategy and off-site authority development to operate as part of a more coordinated content ecosystem.

“Historically, companies have treated on-site content, SEO, digital PR, and link building as separate activities,” said Samuel Edwards, CMO of Digital.Marketing. “AI gives us the ability to connect those disciplines much more intelligently. We can start with the topics and entities a company needs to establish authority around, build the content architecture on its own website, and then support that strategy with relevant conversations and content across the broader web.”

The platform is designed to augment Digital.Marketing's existing team and processes rather than operate as a fully automated publishing engine. Human review, quality control, campaign strategy, and editorial refinement remain integral parts of the company's approach.

Potential platform capabilities include:

• AI-assisted creation of SEO-focused website and blog content
• Content briefs based on target keywords, topics, and search intent
• Semantic keyword and entity recommendations
• Suggested heading and page structures
• Internal linking recommendations
• Brand voice and messaging guidance
• Content designed to support topical authority
• Off-site article and contributed-content development
• Link-building campaign content creation
• Digital PR content support
• Campaign-specific content generation based on client objectives
• Centralized workflows for coordinating on-site and off-site content strategies

Digital.Marketing expects the software to become an increasingly important component of its broader AI marketing offering as businesses look for ways to adopt artificial intelligence without sacrificing content quality, brand consistency, or strategic oversight.

The company is also exploring additional AI capabilities that can connect content production with competitive intelligence, search performance data, backlink analysis, content gap identification, and broader marketing analytics.

“Content is becoming less about how quickly you can publish an article and more about how effectively you can build a connected body of knowledge around your brand,” Carter added. “Our goal is to give clients the infrastructure to do that at a scale that simply wasn't practical before AI.”

The new AI content platform will be available to select Digital.Marketing clients as part of customized digital marketing and organic growth engagements.

About Digital.Marketing

Digital.Marketing is a digital marketing company providing integrated solutions across search engine optimization, content marketing, paid media, digital PR, link building, and AI-enabled marketing. The company works with businesses seeking to improve online visibility, customer acquisition, brand authority, and measurable marketing performance through a combination of technology, strategy, and execution.

Ocala, Florida, United States, July 17, 2026 -- Lawrence Siegel, a nurse practitioner with over a decade of functional medicine experience, has positioned Yunique Medical as a rare provider of hospital-grade therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in regional Florida markets where such specialized procedures remain largely inaccessible.

While most apheresis programs concentrate in major urban centers, Yunique Medical's three-location model, serving Ocala, The Villages, and Port Orange, addresses a documented gap—women seeking advanced cellular medicine options in these communities previously had to drive 100+ miles to urban hospitals or major medical centers.

Siegel's model brings ASFA-aligned protocols directly to local clinics, eliminating geographic barriers without compromising clinical standards.

"Honestly, the hardest part was getting people to actually trust us," Siegel said. "Yeah, I'm a nurse practitioner, but in markets where nobody knew who we were, that piece of paper on the wall didn't mean much. What mattered was showing up with the right doctors, doing the work the right way every single time, and letting our patients' actual results speak for themselves."

And that approach clearly stuck. Yunique Medical has gained over 500 five-star reviews, the kind you get when people genuinely feel better. They have run more than 15,000 patient visits across all their locations, and each one represents someone trusting them with their health.

Here's what therapeutic plasma exchange actually does: it's basically hitting the reset button on your blood. The process filters out the inflammatory molecules and antibodies that've been causing problems, giving your body a chance to start fresh.

A clinical trial in Aging Cell found that combining TPE with IVIG therapy yields measurable improvements in biological markers of aging. It's not magic; it's science that's finally proving what they've been seeing in patients all along.

TPE is a clinical solution available to women suffering from inflammation despite optimized diet, exercise, and sleep.

What sets Yunique Medical apart is not just access but governance. Siegel personally oversees programs across all locations, ensuring fellowship-trained apheresis physicians and hospital-credentialed nurses lead every treatment.

Many of his nursing staff hold ASFA's Qualification in Apheresis, the field's leading competency standard, though not universally required.

"TPE is trending in wellness spaces, but it's not a spa treatment," Siegel said. "It requires precise anticoagulation management, electrolyte balance, and vascular access expertise. That's why we built partnerships with hospital-experienced teams."

The business model, called "culture, value, results" internally, centers on reversing typical structures of practice. Rather than asking patients to fit treatment protocols, Yunique Medical tailors protocols to individual biology, combining TPE with hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and infusion support.

Siegel plans to expand to 20 U.S. locations, replicating the model that has succeeded in Central Florida. Early expansion targets other regional markets with comparable demographics: affluent, health-conscious populations underserved by specialized cellular medicine.

"Small towns shouldn't have to choose between access and excellence," he added. "That's what we're solving."

The certification was issued by Hohenstein Laboratories GmbH & Co. KG in Germany under certificate No. 26.HCN.12213. It confirms that the covered Ljvogues period panties meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Product Class I, the strictest product class under the standard and the class used for baby articles. The certificate is valid until July 31, 2027, and is supported by test report No. 26.1294459 and a declaration of conformity in accordance with EN ISO 17050-1.

For brands sourcing period underwear, the certification is more than a general material-safety claim. Period panties are worn directly against sensitive skin for extended periods, including overnight use, which makes harmful-substance testing and component-level documentation especially important. By obtaining Product Class I certification, Ljvogues gives brand buyers a clearer way to verify the safety standard behind the products they plan to place under their own labels.

The certified product category is Ljvogues' period panties and wholesale period underwear line, available through the company's period panties category page. This line is designed for brand owners, wholesalers, e-commerce sellers, distributors, and private-label buyers looking for leak-proof menstrual underwear with scalable OEM/ODM support.

According to the product category information, Ljvogues' wholesale period underwear collection is built around a 4-layer absorption system for leak protection while maintaining a thin and breathable structure. The collection supports multiple absorbency levels, including Light, Medium, Heavy, and Super Heavy options, with standard wholesale styles covering up to approximately 40 ml-50 ml. The category also supports private-label customization, wholesale supply, sample evaluation, custom logo application, customized packaging, and international shipping for bulk orders.

The OEKO-TEX certificate scope covers period panties made from knitted fabrics including modal/elastane, viscose (bamboo)/elastane, cotton/elastane, 100% polyester including fleece, and polyamide/elastane. It also includes laminated fabrics made from these materials, with or without colourless transparent or white thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film.

This detail is particularly relevant for leak-proof period underwear because TPU film is commonly used as a waterproof barrier layer. In addition to the main fabrics and laminated materials, the certificate covers accessories including elastic band, lace, sewing thread, and printed label. The certificate states that the products are produced exclusively using components pre-certified according to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.

For OEM and private-label buyers, this gives the certification practical sourcing value. Buyers can review a specific certificate number, confirm the product class, understand which materials and accessories are included, and use the documentation to support retailer, marketplace, or compliance review processes. It also helps brands communicate material safety more clearly to end customers without relying only on broad claims such as "safe materials" or "tested fabrics."

The certification also strengthens Ljvogues' broader positioning as a manufacturing partner for brands that compete on product integrity, documentation, and bulk-production consistency. Based on the company's current sourcing information, Ljvogues supports PFAS-free documentation, REACH/SVHC compliance files, patent documentation, quality inspection reports, virtual or in-person factory audits, and OEM/ODM project communication for international buyers.

Founded in 2015, Shenzhen Ljvogues Sports Fashion Limited serves brand customers in categories including period underwear, period swimwear, bamboo period panties, leak-proof underwear, men's incontinence underwear, teen period swimwear, and sport period underwear. Its manufacturing capabilities include absorbency structures ranging from 20 ml to 200 ml+, 3- to 5-layer functional constructions, microfiber and SAP absorbent core options, ultrasonic heat-bonding applications, and structured outgoing quality control.

For new and growing brands, Ljvogues also supports sampling, technical file management, private-label development, and NDA-based intellectual property protection before technical files are shared. The company's wholesale program is positioned for both boutique startups and high-volume distributors seeking retail-ready period underwear products with verifiable compliance documentation.

With OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Product Class I certification now covering its period panties, Ljvogues aims to help buyers evaluate not only how a period underwear product performs, but also how its materials, components, and documentation stand up to due diligence.

Brands seeking certified period panties, wholesale period underwear, or OEM/ODM period underwear manufacturing support can contact Ljvogues to review certificate documentation and discuss product development requirements.

Washington, DC, United States, July 17, 2026 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Global Immigration Partners Urges Investors to Act Ahead of Critical September 2026 EB-5 Grandfathering Deadline

Washington, D.C. – July 2026

Global Immigration Partners, PLLC, an award-winning U.S. immigration law firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., is advising international investors to act promptly following significant developments affecting the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Recent changes to visa processing, increased compliance requirements, and a critical statutory deadline in September 2026 are expected to have a substantial impact on prospective investors seeking permanent residence in the United States.

The latest developments come as demand for the EB-5 programme continues to grow, particularly within the Rural and High-Unemployment Area (Targeted Employment Area – TEA) categories established under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA). With the September 2026 grandfathering deadline approaching and Visa Bulletin changes affecting processing strategies, investors are encouraged to seek experienced legal guidance to protect their immigration plans.

September 2026 Grandfathering Deadline Creates a Critical Window for Investors

One of the most significant developments affecting the EB-5 programme is the approaching 30 September 2026 grandfathering deadline under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022.

Although the Regional Center Program is currently authorised through 30 September 2027, investors who properly file their EB-5 petitions before 30 September 2026 benefit from statutory grandfathering protections. This means their applications can continue to be adjudicated even if Congress allows the Regional Center Program to lapse or introduces legislative changes after September 2027.

The approaching deadline has already contributed to a significant increase in investor filings, as applicants seek to secure these important legal protections before the window closes.

May 2026 Visa Bulletin Introduces Important Processing Changes

The U.S. Department of State's May 2026 Visa Bulletin introduced several important updates affecting EB-5 investors.

Most notably, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) confirmed that employment-based Adjustment of Status applications will now be accepted only under the Final Action Dates (Chart A) rather than the Dates for Filing (Chart B). This procedural change affects applicants who are already lawfully present in the United States and planning to file concurrently.

Meanwhile, the Reform and Integrity Act's Reserved Visa Categories continue to provide significant opportunities for new investors.

Currently, all three Reserved Categories remain Current for applicants from every country:

• Rural Projects (20%)
• High-Unemployment Area Projects (10%)
• Infrastructure Projects (2%)

While these categories currently have visa availability, increasing numbers of I-526E filings suggest that future backlogs may eventually emerge as investor demand continues to rise.

India and China Continue to Face Visa Backlogs

The latest Visa Bulletin also highlights continuing demand from India and China.

For Indian-born investors applying under the Unreserved category, the Final Action Date remains fixed at 1 May 2022. The U.S. Department of State has warned that continued demand could lead to further retrogression or temporary visa unavailability before the end of the current fiscal year.

China has seen only modest progress, with the Unreserved Final Action Date advancing to 22 September 2016, reflecting the ongoing demand from Chinese investors.

USCIS Significantly Increases Source-of-Funds Scrutiny

Global Immigration Partners is also observing substantially increased scrutiny from USCIS regarding investors' lawful source and path of investment funds.

Applicants should now expect more comprehensive reviews of financial documentation demonstrating how investment capital was earned, accumulated and transferred.

In many cases, adjudicators are requesting documentation covering five to seven years of financial history, including detailed tax records, banking documentation, business records and overseas fund transfers.

Certain applicants, particularly from India, have also experienced increased examination of Tax Collected at Source (TCS) compliance and remittance documentation.

Given these enhanced compliance standards, investors are encouraged to begin assembling supporting documentation as early as possible to minimise the risk of Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and unnecessary processing delays.

Rural Projects Continue to Receive Priority Processing

USCIS continues to prioritise adjudication of qualifying Rural Regional Center projects and projects with approved Form I-956F applications.

Combined with reserved visa availability, these processing priorities continue to make Rural EB-5 investments particularly attractive for investors seeking potentially faster processing and greater visa availability.

Political Landscape Continues to Evolve

Although the EB-5 programme remains fully operational, recent political statements advocating alternative investment-based immigration programmes have renewed debate about the programme's long-term future.

Current investment thresholds remain unchanged:

• US$800,000 for qualifying Targeted Employment Areas (including Rural, High-Unemployment and Infrastructure projects).
• US$1,050,000 for investments outside designated TEAs.

No legislative changes have altered investor eligibility, and the EB-5 programme continues to operate under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act.

Expert Commentary

"The EB-5 programme continues to offer one of the most valuable pathways to U.S. permanent residence for qualifying investors and their families," said Alexander Jovy, Co-Managing Partner of Global Immigration Partners.

"However, the current landscape is evolving rapidly. The approaching September 2026 grandfathering deadline, increasing demand for reserved visa categories, and heightened scrutiny of source-of-funds documentation mean that investors should begin planning well in advance. Early preparation and experienced legal guidance can make a significant difference to the success of an EB-5 application."

Jovy added:

"While political discussion surrounding the future of the EB-5 programme continues, the programme remains fully operational under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act. Investors who act now can take advantage of the protections currently available, particularly those considering Rural and High-Unemployment Area projects. Our advice is simple: don't wait until deadlines or backlogs force difficult decisions. A carefully planned application submitted today can provide greater certainty for tomorrow."

Helping Investors Navigate an Increasingly Complex Process

With stricter adjudication standards, increasing global demand, and approaching statutory deadlines, obtaining experienced legal advice has never been more important.

Global Immigration Partners advises investors throughout every stage of the EB-5 process, including investment strategy, Regional Center due diligence, source-of-funds documentation, petition preparation, Adjustment of Status planning, and long-term U.S. immigration strategy.

Prospective investors should consider obtaining personalised advice based on:

• their country of birth and potential Visa Bulletin waiting times;
• whether they intend to invest in a Rural or High-Unemployment Area (TEA) project; and
• whether they are currently inside or outside the United States, which may determine eligibility for concurrent filing.

United States, July 17, 2026 -- Air Apps, the company behind a portfolio of AI-powered productivity, translation, and lifestyle apps used by people globally, held its annual Air Conference in Boulder, Colorado, from June 22 to 26, 2026. The event brought together employees from around the world for a week centered on strategic alignment, team collaboration, and outdoor adventure in the Rocky Mountains.

This year's conference marked a notable milestone for Air Apps: it was the fourth time the company's team from around the world gathered in person as one group. With teams based in San Francisco and Lisbon, many employees spend months collaborating remotely across an eight-hour time difference, so the event offered a valuable opportunity to meet colleagues face-to-face. Boulder was selected as the host city for its combination of innovation, access to nature, and healthy lifestyle culture, reflecting the values Air Apps has been building into its workplace.

The week's agenda balanced business strategy with wellbeing. Company leadership presented an overview of Air Apps' progress over the past 12 months, highlighted key milestones, and outlined strategic priorities for the year ahead, giving the full organization a shared understanding of where the company is headed. Alongside the business sessions, employees took part in a series of outdoor activities designed to build trust and strengthen collaboration across the company's global team, including the Sanitas Mountain Loop hike, a trek to Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, river rafting, ziplining, and ropes courses.

Employees collectively climbed more than 1,400 feet in elevation over the course of the week's hikes, and many pushed past personal limits, including fears of heights, during the ropes courses. The week concluded with a full day of white-water rafting and ziplining in Idaho Springs, activities the company says reinforced its belief that some of the strongest professional relationships are built outside the office through shared, challenging experiences.

“I always look forward to conference week! It’s the one time of year when we connect in person in a completely new environment, as it always takes place in a different location. It’s so powerful to share stories, learn from one another, and feel that sense of unity across our different offices. Beyond the inspiration and clarity on our company vision, the best part for me as an organizer is seeing the team thrive and celebrating our accomplishments together—watching our hard work turn into reality and seeing everyone truly enjoy the experience.” - Amanda Alcântara - Operations Manager (Lisbon)

Beyond the scheduled activities, the conference created space for informal connections. Evenings were spent over dinners and shared stories, giving colleagues the chance to build relationships with teammates they had previously known only through Slack messages and video calls. Air Apps has pointed to these moments of connection as central to how the company sustains effective collaboration across its distributed, international team.

“The Colorado Air Apps conference was an incredible experience that pushed me way outside my comfort zone. Facing activities like rafting and high ropes helped me overcome lifelong fears, entirely thanks to the synchronization and endless support of my team. Air Apps really created an unforgettable week where we reached new heights and connected both professionally and personally.” Milana Gurova - Social Media Manager (San Francisco)

Air Conference is held annually and serves as a recurring opportunity for Air Apps to align its global workforce around shared goals while recognizing the achievements of teams working across different countries and time zones. This year's gathering marked the fourth edition of Air Conference, following previous editions in Porto, Berlin, Cancun, and Las Vegas. Air Apps used this year's event to reinforce that its approach to growth includes an equal investment in the well-being and connectivity of its people, alongside its product and business goals.

New York, NY, United States, July 17, 2026 -- BrokerOpinionOfValue.com today launched a New York City multifamily property value guide that explains how brokers and buyers price $5 million to $35 million apartment buildings, giving owners a market-based framework for understanding what their property is worth before they decide to sell. A broker opinion of value (BOV) is a broker-prepared estimate of a commercial property's market value faster and less expensive than a formal appraisal, and a common first step for owners weighing a sale.

The guide is built for owners of small to mid-sized multifamily properties and portfolios including free-market, rent-stabilized, and mixed buildings. It walks these owners step by step through the metrics brokers and buyers use, including net operating income (NOI), capitalization (cap) rate, price per unit, and price per square foot.

According to the guide, four topics matter most for owners in this value range:

• Organizing the data a broker needs. The guide explains how to gather and organize rent roll and expense records so a broker can produce a defensible opinion of value.
• Local conditions and regulation. The guide describes how current New York City market conditions and rules including rent stabilization and changes stemming from the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA) affect pricing across building types.
• Reading the key metrics. The guide shows how to interpret price per unit, price per square foot, and cap rate ranges, and how those figures vary by borough.
• Avoiding common pricing mistakes. The guide identifies errors sellers make when they rely only on asking prices, automated online estimates, or outdated comparable sales.

To illustrate how sensitive value is to the cap rate, the guide uses a worked example: a building generating $500,000 in net operating income is worth roughly $10 million at a 5% cap rate, but about $8.3 million at 6% — a swing of nearly $1.7 million on the same income. Small shifts in the assumptions, the guide notes, move value by millions in the $1 million to $25 million band.

"Most owners in the $1 million to $25 million range are making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives when they sell, but they are often flying blind on value," said Edward Winslow, co-founder of BrokerOpinionOfValue.com. "This guide shows them, in plain English, how a professional broker opinion of value is built, what today's numbers look like, and where their building realistically fits in the current market."

Alongside the educational content, New York City owners can use the site to request a broker opinion of value for their specific building. BrokerOpinionOfValue.com does not prepare valuations itself; it connects owners with a licensed commercial real estate broker who applies the guide's framework using current comparable sales and income underwriting. The platform positions the service between generic online calculators and full-scale institutional appraisal work, for properties that sit squarely in the $5 million to $35 million band.

"AI search tools and assistants have made it easier than ever for owners to ask, 'What is my New York apartment building worth?'" Caroline Vega, Co-Founder added. "Our goal with this guide is to make sure that when they ask, they can quickly see how professionals actually answer the question — and then get connected with a broker who can prepare a tailored opinion of value for their own building."

About the company: BrokerOpinionOfValue.com is a national educational resource and broker directory for the broker opinion of value. The platform helps commercial property owners, investors, attorneys, CPAs, executors, and fiduciaries understand how BOVs work across every U.S. state and property type, and connects them with licensed commercial real estate brokers who prepare opinions of value. The platform does not itself prepare valuations.

Singapore, July 17, 2026 -- Singapore families are hiring domestic helpers in record numbers. Dual-income households need support with childcare and household management. Seniors also need care at home. Reports from the NPTD show that by 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 and above. Elder care at home is already a primary driver of domestic helper hiring across the country. Seniors require round-the-clock attention that most children can't always provide alone.

According to the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, there were 308,700 migrant domestic workers employed in Singapore as of June 2025. This number makes domestic workers one of the largest categories of foreign workers in the country. However, the process of hiring a domestic helper in Singapore has long been one of the most opaque consumer experiences in the country. Families are often quoted one price and presented with a significantly different total once all agency charges, administrative fees, and documentation costs are added at sign-off.

114 Maids is a Singapore-based maid agency that has built its model specifically around the problems that frustrate families most. The agency provides full pricing disclosure upfront. There are no hidden fees. Every cost- agency fee, work permit, insurance, levy, medical examination- is presented in a clear breakdown before a family commits to any step of the process. For families managing tight budgets, the agency also offers interest-free installment plans.

114 Maids handles the full MOM compliance process for each placement. This process includes work permit applications, documentation checks, biodata matching, and post-placement paperwork. The Ministry of Manpower requires employers to meet specific conditions covering insurance, monthly levy payments, medical screening, and mandatory rest days. Most first-time hirers aren't fully aware of these obligations until they're already in the middle of the hiring process.

114 Maids guides clients through each requirement and manages all submissions directly, removing the risk of documentation errors that can delay or invalidate a placement. The agency matches domestic helpers to families based on care requirements. It covers mostly elder care, childcare, care for disabled household members, and pet care. Families receive carefully selected biodata profiles suited to their specific situation. Consultations are available in person and virtually. The full hiring process can be completed online for families with limited time.

As Singapore's domestic helper market continues to grow and the regulatory environment becomes more complex, the gap between what families need and what traditional agencies deliver has widened. 114 Maids is expanding its client base in 2026 by offering the transparency and compliance support that the market has long needed.

About the company: 114 Maids is a Singapore-based maid agency (EA License No. 23C1827) that helps families hire domestic helpers with transparent, no-hidden-fee pricing and flexible interest-free installment plans. The agency provides end-to-end support from biodata matching to MOM compliance for helpers covering newborn, child, elder, disabled, and pet care.

Singapore, July 17, 2026 -- A person preparing for a wedding, business presentation, or family celebration may suddenly notice dull or tired-looking skin. Adding another skincare product often seems like the easiest solution.

The underlying cause may be something different. Dehydration, clogged pores, uneven skin tone, or environmental exposure can produce similar visible changes.

Identifying the actual concern is often the first step toward selecting an appropriate treatment. A professional assessment can also help people avoid spending time and money on products that may not address the source of the problem.

Professional facial treatments usually begin with understanding the condition of the skin instead of following the same routine for every customer. Some people need intensive hydration.

Others benefit from treatments that address pigmentation, acne, or the visible signs of aging. Skin conditions can also change over time because of stress, climate, lifestyle, or seasonal factors.

A personalized approach allows treatments to adapt as those needs evolve. It also gives skincare professionals an opportunity to monitor progress and adjust recommendations as the skin responds to treatment.

New York Skin Solutions is placing renewed attention on customized facial treatments that combine botanical ingredients with individual skin analysis.

The company provides treatment plans tailored to each customer's skin condition rather than relying on standardized procedures. Its services focus on common concerns such as acne, pigmentation, dehydration, and visible aging while supporting healthier-looking skin through non-invasive care.

The goal is to address underlying skin needs while helping customers maintain consistent routines between professional visits.

Botanical ingredients remain an important part of that treatment philosophy. Plant-based formulations are selected according to individual skin concerns and treatment objectives.

Hydration may become the priority for one customer. Another may require greater attention to uneven skin tone or congestion. Matching treatments to those differences allows skincare plans to become more responsive instead of following a one-size-fits-all model.

Regular reviews also allow recommendations to change as skin conditions improve or new concerns develop. That ongoing approach helps ensure treatments continue reflecting each customer's changing skincare needs instead of relying on the same routine indefinitely.

Since opening in 2004, New York Skin Solutions has served more than 150,000 customers across Singapore through nine outlets. The company has also received recognition through programs including Superbrands and the Her World Spa Awards.

That experience supports its continued focus on personalized consultations, botanical skincare, and practical guidance that encourages realistic expectations about long-term skin improvement.

Professional skincare is becoming less about finding a single miracle treatment and more about understanding how different concerns develop over time. Personalized assessments, consistent care, and appropriate treatment planning all contribute to healthier-looking skin.

For many consumers, that combination offers a more practical path than continually changing products without knowing which solutions best match their individual needs.

About the company: New York Skin Solutions is Singapore's leading facial treatment center with nine outlets islandwide and more than 150,000 customers served since 2004. We provide customized botanical-based facial treatments for acne, pigmentation, dehydration, and aging while helping customers achieve healthier-looking skin through personalized professional care.

San Diego, United States, July 17, 2026 -- CARLSBAD, Calif. - Ezoic, an AI-driven optimization and monetization platform for the open web, has launched Analytics MCP, a new way for publishers, web app developers and online tool and game creators to ask plain-language questions about performance data directly inside consumer AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and similar chat assistants.

Analytics MCP connects a user's Ezoic analytics data to an AI assistant through the Model Context Protocol, allowing users to get answers about their own sites, apps, tools and games without first opening the Ezoic Dashboard. A publisher or creator can ask about pageviews by day, ad revenue by country, top pages by engaged time, video revenue trends or rewarded ad completion rates, then receive a conversational summary in the assistant they already use.

When a user asks a question, the assistant translates it into an analytics query against that user's Ezoic account data, retrieves the result and summarizes the answer. Analytics MCP also supports follow-up questions, including breakdowns by country, page, placement or site, as well as comparisons to a prior period.

The launch extends Ezoic analytics access across the performance areas creators use to understand and grow on the open web, including pageviews, ad impressions, clicks, viewability, RPM, ad revenue by unit or placement, rewarded ad completions and video performance such as views, completions, watch time and revenue. Analytics MCP works across all domains, web apps, tools and games a publisher's Ezoic account has access to.

Publishers and creators can connect Analytics MCP by following the setup steps for their AI assistant in Ezoic's documentation at docs.ezoic.com/docs/analytics-mcp and adding the endpoint https://analytics-mcp.ezoic.com/mcp. Users sign in with their Ezoic account when prompted. Additional context is available on the Ezoic blog.

Analytics MCP is read-only and built for analytics conversations. It does not replace the Ezoic Dashboard for account management or settings changes.

San Francisco, California, United States, July 16, 2026 -- In less than eight months, Marblism has brought 40,000 small and mid-sized businesses onto its AI workforce platform — a figure that points to a widening gap between what enterprise AI tools offer and what smaller operators actually need.

The premise is straightforward: instead of a generic AI tool, business owners get a team of named AI employees, each assigned to a specific function. Eva manages the inbox. Rachel handles calls. Stan drives sales outreach. Sonny takes charge of social media. Penny produces SEO content. Linda covers basic legal queries. The latest addition, Alisson, is built for closing sales — and according to Marblism, she has already helped close more than 2,500 customers across the platform.

The distinction between an AI employee and an AI tool is not cosmetic. Most AI platforms sit idle until prompted. Marblism's workers are designed to act first — following up, initiating outreach, and managing tasks without waiting for instructions. For a business owner already stretched thin, that difference is the product.

The major AI platforms — Salesforce Einstein, HubSpot AI, Intercom — were engineered for companies with IT teams and implementation budgets. Small businesses rarely have either. Marblism's flat-rate pricing and sub-30-minute setup are not features designed to impress; they are the minimum viable conditions for the customers it is built around.

The current platform grew out of a pivot. An earlier Marblism product — an AI-powered web application builder — kept attracting small business owners who wanted help running their operations, not building software. The company took that as its signal, rebuilt around the AI Employees model in the second half of 2025, and has been growing steadily since.

"We crossed 40,000 businesses in under 8 months," said Ulric Musset, CEO and founder of Marblism. "We launched our first live US event, The AI CEO, which drew strong attendance and community energy. We have also launched into new geographic regions and are currently executing a US national tour, bringing Marblism's vision directly to business owners across the country."

The goal Musset has set publicly is one million businesses. To close that gap, Marblism has leaned into live events as a growth channel. At the AI CEO event at the Tacoma Armory in April 2026, more than 200 business owners attended and left with AI employees already running inside their companies — set up live during the event. Dallas and Nashville are the next confirmed stops. The company has also brought the format overseas, with an event held at WeWork City Road in London.

Rather than staffing a traditional field marketing operation, Marblism runs each city stop through local partner organizations who handle promotion and community outreach on the ground. It keeps the model lean while ensuring each event carries credibility with the local business community it is trying to reach.

The US remains the company's primary market, but expansion is underway. Latin America is the next major target, with Mexico at the top of the list for the coming twelve months. Across industries and geographies, AI adoption among small businesses is accelerating — yet the tools built to support it were largely designed for buyers those businesses will never be. Marblism's 4.8 out of 5 Trustpilot rating suggests that, for its growing customer base, the fit is noticeably different.

About Marblism

Marblism is a San Francisco-based AI workforce platform providing small and mid-sized businesses with a ready-to-deploy team of AI employees across sales, communications, content, social media, operations, and legal functions. Since launching in the second half of 2025, the platform has grown to more than 40,000 business customers spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

The platform carries a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot and is designed to be fully operational within 30 minutes, requiring no technical background or setup support — built from the ground up for the business owner.

Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, July 16, 2026 -- Geniatech, a global ARM-based embedded computing and edge AI ODM founded in 1997, today announced the expanded positioning of its XPI Series of industrial single board computers — a portfolio spanning Rockchip, NXP, Amlogic, and RISC-V silicon — with the XPI-3568 highlighted as a preferred platform for OEM programs moving from prototype into long-term production.

The announcement comes as global supply chains remain volatile and industrial AI adoption accelerates, making supply chain diversification a core competitive requirement for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) rather than an operational afterthought. The era of treating single board computers as interchangeable, drop-in spare parts is over. What the industry needs now is a production-grade embedded common platform that can hold both commitments at once: dependable, long-term supply continuity, and the flexibility to customize locally for each market and application.

Beyond Substitution: What a Production-Grade Common Platform Actually Requires

Historically, developers have leaned on maker-grade single board computers to validate early proofs-of-concept, then treated the transition to volume production as a simple swap-out exercise. That assumption has not held up well. Consumer-channel hardware was never engineered around guaranteed multi-year lifecycles, and treating it as a permanent production component exposes OEMs to real operational risk — from inconsistent allocation and lead times to storage media and thermal designs that were never rated for continuous industrial duty.

A true common platform strategy asks for more than a compatible pinout. It requires:

• Multi-vendor silicon sourcing, so a shortage or pricing shock at a single chip vendor does not stall an entire product line.
• Guaranteed long-term lifecycle support, so a design validated today is still buildable years into a product's commercial run.
• Local customization capacity, so the same base platform can be adapted — ports, certifications, enclosures, firmware — to the specific regulatory and application requirements of each market, without a full redesign.

This is the structural gap the XPI Series was built to close, and it's the reason Geniatech continues to position the XPI-3568 at the center of the conversation with OEM and system integrator customers.

XPI-3568: A Preferred Platform for OEM Programs

Built around the Rockchip RK3568 quad-core Cortex-A55 processor, the XPI-3568 was engineered for the realities of certified, mass-produced hardware — not just early-stage prototyping. It has become a reference point many Geniatech customers return to when a design needs to move from proof-of-concept into a stable, long-term production platform.

What has made the XPI-3568 a preferred platform for OEM programs:

• Onboard industrial eMMC storage — from 8GB up to 128GB, removing the write-cycle failure risk that consumer micro-SD storage carries in always-on field deployments.
• Integrated edge AI acceleration — a 1 TOPS (INT8) NPU built into the RK3568 for real-time computer vision, OCR, and sensor inference at the edge. Elsewhere in the XPI Series, customizable hardware configurations scale up to 26 TOPS for customers with heavier AI workloads.
• Form-factor and GPIO compatibility — an 85mm x 55mm footprint with a standard 40-pin GPIO header configurable for RS232, SPI, I2C, and PWM, preserving compatibility with existing carrier boards and accessories.
• Industrial thermal and power design — a commercial-grade variant rated 0°C to 70°C and an industrial-grade variant rated -40°C to 85°C, built for outdoor kiosks, vehicle-mounted systems, and unconditioned industrial environments.
• Software continuity — support for Android 11, Debian 10/11, and Yocto, plus support for Linux-based development environments and Raspberry Pi ecosystem migration workflows, so teams can carry existing software investment forward rather than rebuilding it.

The XPI-3568 Within a Broader XPI Portfolio

The XPI-3568 doesn't carry Geniatech's industrial SBC strategy alone. It sits within a broader XPI Series spanning Rockchip, NXP, Amlogic, and RISC-V silicon — from the ultra-compact XPI-3566-ZERO to the AI-forward XPI-3576 — giving OEMs a genuine multi-vendor sourcing path across chip platforms and performance tiers, rather than a single point of failure. Under Geniatech's long-term supply approach, the series is built to support product longevity of up to 10 years, giving enterprise customers a hardware roadmap they can plan against rather than react to.

Built for Localization, Not Just Compatibility

Beyond the standard board, Geniatech offers full-stack ODM/OEM customization for customers scaling into production: custom board design to strip unneeded ports and lower unit cost, custom carrier board development, OS and driver modification, and certification support (UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, CB, and others). A dedicated engineering team supports customers from initial concept through certified, mass-produced, market-localized hardware.

"Supply chain resilience isn't a talking point anymore — it's a design requirement," said a Geniatech product management representative. "OEMs don't just need a board that is pin-compatible with what they prototyped on. They need a platform they can keep sourcing, keep customizing for each market, and rely on for a long-term product lifecycle. That's the role the XPI-3568 and the broader XPI Series are built to play."

Availability

The XPI-3568 is in volume production now, with full technical datasheets, SDKs, and documentation available for download. Bulk pricing, customization requests, and engineering consultations can be arranged directly through Geniatech's sales team.

The reported evaluation consolidated performance data across four practical engineering challenges that define hybrid wet-dry floor washers: sustained suction for dry debris extraction, active water separation and continuous fresh-water application, automated self-maintenance for brush hygiene, and low-profile agility for access under low-clearance furniture. Independent laboratory measurements and compiled consumer response scores provided the factual basis for the comparative statements released by Tineco US.

Tineco US described two distinct FLOOR ONE configurations that address competing residential priorities. The FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam incorporates an integrated boiler that generates 320°F (160°C) internal HyperSteam and maintains an outlet temperature above 210°F on the microfiber roller. Laboratory figures cited by Tineco US indicate a suction level of 22 kPa and the presence of an iLoop Smart Sensor that dynamically adjusts power; the company reported up to 75 minutes of runtime in Auto Mode under the tested conditions. The S9 Artist Steam’s docked FlashDry system was documented to wash the roller with heated water and dry it with 185°F (85°C) hot air in approximately five minutes.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner targets environments with constrained furniture clearance. The S7 Stretch Ultra employs a water-air separation valve that allows the head to compress and lay flat to 180 degrees, yielding a working profile of 5.1 inches without a loss of suction or leakage into motor compartments, according to the company’s technical notes. Measured suction for the S7 Stretch Ultra was reported at 21 kPa, with dual-sided edge cleaning and runtime figures cited at up to 50 minutes in typical use modes.

Tineco US characterized the broader 2026 competitive landscape without naming specific third-party manufacturers. The comparative material cited other major contenders that emphasize either base-station heat washing, purely mechanical mopping heads without vacuum extraction, or dry-only cyclonic suction sticks with passive wet-mopping attachments. The consolidated technical matrix assembled by Tineco US compared direct-floor heating, suction power, under-furniture reach, anti-tangle measures, automated maintenance, and dry-debris capability across the sampled products. Those internal comparisons indicated that, within the sample set, only the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam combined active high-temperature steam delivered to the roller with cyclonic dry debris extraction in a single cordless chassis.

Design and maintenance features reported in the 2026 findings included mechanical anti-tangle systems and automated dock cycles. Tineco US documented the inclusion of a DualBlock anti-tangle scraper and continuous-tension scraping on FLOOR ONE models, with the company’s FlashDry dock cycle described as a five-minute heated wash-and-dry process that the laboratory testing confirmed reduced residual musty odor in roller assemblies following repeated wet cleaning sessions. The S7 Stretch Ultra’s lay-flat geometry was measured to maintain sealing integrity during the 180-degree compression test sequence described in the comparative materials.

The assembled consumer feedback component of the report summarized verified-buyer experiences without direct quotations. Several verified buyers reported that the FlashDry dock addressed lingering odors associated with damp rollers in utility closets, that the S9 Artist Steam’s thermal output assisted in breaking down high-viscosity kitchen soils without manual scrubbing, and that the S7 Stretch Ultra’s low profile enabled cleaning entirely beneath mid-century and modern low-clearance furnishings where previous upright washers had been unable to reach. One summary note conveyed that battery runtime in sustained high-heat steam modes showed measurable reduction relative to Auto Mode, consistent with the laboratory runtime differentials reported for continuous maximum steam operation.

Tineco US presented the 2026 comparative material as a results-focused disclosure intended to document measured attributes of the FLOOR ONE series in the context of the sampled market field. The report included specific operational figures for temperature, suction, clearance, and automated dry cycles as supporting technical detail.

Bethesda, United States, July 16, 2026 -- Cordex Systems, Inc. announced that Dr. Louis J. Ignarro, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, has joined the company's Scientific Advisory Board.

Dr. Ignarro received the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his landmark discovery that nitric oxide (NO) functions as a critical signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system — research that fundamentally transformed the understanding of vascular biology and opened a new chapter in cardiovascular medicine. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in the world, killing more people than all cancers combined, and in the past 30 years more than 170,000 studies have been published on endothelial function in both human and animal models. Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, president of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital and Physician-in-Chief of The Mount Sinai Hospital, said at the time: "The discovery of nitric oxide and its function is one of the most important in the history of cardiovascular medicine." (The New York Times, Oct. 13, 1998.)

Dr. Ignarro's expertise is directly relevant to the science powering the Cordex Smart Cuff. The device takes a direct, calibrated measurement of endothelial function by quantifying vascular compliance — the effect of nitric oxide on arterial stiffness. Endothelial dysfunction, driven by diminished nitric oxide production or bioavailability, is an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including heart attack, stroke and heart failure. By measuring this biological pathway non-invasively at the point of care, Cordex is translating Dr. Ignarro's foundational science into actionable clinical intelligence.

"Having the scientist who discovered nitric oxide's role in the cardiovascular system advising Cordex is both a profound validation and an extraordinary opportunity. Dr. Ignarro's work is the scientific foundation upon which our technology is built," said Kathy Magliato, MD, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer of Cordex Systems, Inc.

"Nitric oxide's role in vascular health is something I've studied for decades, and it's exciting to see that science translated into a practical tool clinicians can use at the point of care. I look forward to supporting Cordex as they bring endothelial function measurement into everyday cardiovascular care," said Dr. Louis J. Ignarro.

Dr. Ignarro is Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the American Heart Association Distinguished Scientist Award, among numerous other honors spanning more than four decades of research.

With a sleek, high-tech setup and luxury-focused ambiance — complete with giant screens and themed installations — the Casablanca venue offered guests a truly immersive viewing experience. Owners and potential customers mingled casually, bonding over football while getting a closer look at EXEED’s vision for future premium mobility – and the lifestyle that comes with it.

EXEED first planted its flag in Morocco earlier this year through a strategic partnership with M-AUTOMOTIV, the country’s leading automotive group. Together, they opened a flagship showroom on Casablanca’s Boulevard El Massira. Backed by M-AUTOMOTIV’s nationwide network of 27 sales outlets and a service team of over 650 professionals, EXEED has rapidly built a robust sales and after-sales infrastructure across the kingdom.

The market’s enthusiastic response has confirmed a strong product-market fit. The EXEED RX—a multiple international design award winner—launched in Morocco this February and quickly won over buyers with its striking aesthetics. Since then, EXEED has recorded four consecutive months of rising sales, signaling sustained and accelerating momentum. In May, the brand expanded its local lineup with the VX, a full-size plug-in hybrid SUV, further strengthening its foothold in the premium new-energy segment. Beyond products, EXEED is weaving itself into the fabric of Moroccan high culture. That same month, the brand became an official partner of Morocco’s Caftan Week and CASA FASHION SHOW—marking the first time a Chinese luxury marque has taken the stage at this prestigious event, breaking the long-standing dominance of European luxury houses.

Now, under the “To What Comes Next” banner, EXEED is forging deeper emotional connections with users against the electrifying backdrop of global football. From the flagship showroom and high-impact viewing events, to the RX’s sales climb and the VX’s strategic debut, EXEED is doubling down on its long-term commitment to Morocco. Rooted in its “Tech-Driven Luxury” DNA, the brand is poised to deliver an even wider range of intelligent, premium mobility options to local customers in the years ahead.

The offering permits retail investors and members of the diaspora to invest directly in Caribbean real estate with a minimum investment of $100, priced at $10.00 per share for Class A Common Stock. Enabled by the JOBS Act, the Reg CF rule allows eligible early-stage companies to raise a maximum of $5 million over a 12-month period through equity crowdfunding. Additionally, this issuer's offering is insured by a TigerMark™ insurance policy. Blue Mahoe Capital intends to use the capital to address the severe housing shortage in the Caribbean, starting with residential projects in Jamaica.

David Mullings, Chairman and CEO of Blue Mahoe Capital, explained the strategy behind the campaign. “We need to be able to pool our capital in a regulated and transparent way to participate in the economic growth in the Caribbean region. This fresh capital allows us to move forward with housing developments in Jamaica. The Caribbean needs more homes, and we can now help to build them.”

He added, “The majority of the people I have met with over the last two years want access to real estate investments, and locals have been complaining about the lack of affordable options to buy.”

Moving the Caribbean Forward

The first phase of Blue Mahoe Capital’s real estate business is focused on addressing the housing deficit in Jamaica, with nine projects currently under due diligence and three ready to move forward. The company's initial flagship project is an affordable housing development in Old Harbour, Jamaica, where a total of 700 houses are planned.

Capital from the current offering is focused on building Phase 1 of the Old Harbour development, which consists of 200 one-bedroom units. According to the company, over 275 individuals have already made contact to be on the list to purchase a home in this initial phase. The selling prices for the houses will range from JMD$8 million (approximately US$50,000) to JMD$40 million (approximately US$253,000).

While the initial focus is on Jamaica, Blue Mahoe Capital’s team intends to evaluate additional real estate investments and expand to other CARICOM member states, including The Bahamas, Barbados, and Guyana.

Expanding Access and Future Outlook

Historically, investment opportunities in the Caribbean have been restricted to institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals. By utilizing equity crowdfunding, Blue Mahoe Capital is opening SEC-regulated Caribbean investment to the diaspora, empowering them to build both their legacy and their culture.

Catherine Jackson, shareholder and director of Blue Mahoe Capital, commented on the broader goals of the offering. “As we continue to expand access to Caribbean investment opportunities, our goal remains clear: to empower retail investors to participate in the region’s growth through a trusted, audited, and regulated vehicle. We believe investment opportunities should be accessible to more people, not just a select few.”

As part of its long-term growth strategy, Blue Mahoe Capital recently announced that it has reserved the ticker symbol “IRIE” with the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with its plans to explore a potential public offering and Nasdaq listing in the future. At this stage, the company has not yet applied for or been approved for listing on Nasdaq, and there is no guarantee that a public listing will occur or that the company will meet the listing criteria. However, the reservation signals the firm's commitment to transparency, strong governance, and creating long-term shareholder value.

McAllen, Texas, United States, July 15, 2026 -- NAI STX has expanded its commercial land advisory services by incorporating AI-assisted development visualization into its advisory process for landowners, developers, brokers, and investors across South Texas. The enhanced capability is designed to help clients evaluate development possibilities earlier in the planning process by transforming property surveys into conceptual visualizations before traditional engineering and design work begins.

NAI STX is a commercial real estate brokerage and advisory firm serving South Texas from Brownsville to Laredo and is an affiliate of NAI Global. Through the expanded service, the firm combines commercial real estate expertise with AI-assisted conceptual planning to help clients better understand development opportunities before significant planning costs are incurred.

The expanded capability is led by Mike Blum, one of the partners at NAI STX, whose perspective is shaped by more than 53 years in city planning, economic development, infrastructure planning, and commercial real estate. His career includes serving as McAllen’s first city planner before he moved into brokerage and development advisory roles that helped shape projects across the Rio Grande Valley, including The RioPlex.

From Blum’s perspective, one of the longstanding challenges in land development is that visualizing a property’s potential traditionally requires time, specialized expertise, and upfront investment. He explains that landowners are often evaluating opportunities based on surveys, legal descriptions, and technical documents that can be difficult for non-specialists to translate into a tangible vision.

“The most expensive line on any pro forma is the one you draw before you know what’s possible,” Blum says.

As part of the expanded advisory offering, Blum incorporates artificial intelligence into the firm’s early-stage land evaluation process. According to him, the process begins with a property survey or site plan that is imported into an AI platform.

Research suggests that AI adoption is accelerating across industries. According to a report, industries most exposed to AI recorded revenue per employee growth that was three times higher than that of less exposed industries, highlighting the growing integration of AI into professional decision-making and productivity workflows. While commercial real estate remains heavily dependent on human expertise, many professionals are increasingly exploring how AI can support analysis, planning, and visualization.

Blum emphasizes that the technology does not replace planning judgment. Instead, he views it as a tool that allows experienced professionals to communicate ideas more efficiently.

“The AI is helping bring the vision to life faster,” Blum explains. “The experience still matters because someone has to understand the property, the market, the infrastructure, and the realities of development.”

According to NAI STX, integrating AI-assisted visualization into its advisory process allows clients to explore development opportunities earlier in the decision-making process. Blum explains that prospective buyers often respond differently when they can evaluate a visual representation of a property’s future potential rather than relying solely on surveys, maps, or legal descriptions.

According to Blum, the approach can be applied across a wide range of property types, including vacant commercial sites, agricultural land, irregularly shaped parcels, and larger undeveloped tracts. Using AI-assisted visualization, he notes that these properties can be transformed into conceptual representations of potential mixed-use developments, helping stakeholders evaluate opportunities before committing significant resources to engineering or design.

His embrace of AI also reflects a broader lesson about adaptation. Despite beginning his career in 1972, Blum believes innovation is less about age and more about a willingness to learn. He notes that technological change has influenced every stage of his professional journey, from urban planning and economic development to brokerage and site selection.

“Technology continues to change how we work,” Blum says. “The people who remain curious and willing to learn are usually the ones who find new opportunities.”

As commercial real estate professionals continue exploring practical applications for artificial intelligence, NAI STX believes AI-assisted development visualization can strengthen the earliest stages of land advisory by helping clients evaluate opportunities with greater clarity. According to Blum, understanding what land can become has always been central to successful development, and the firm’s expanded advisory capabilities are intended to make that process more accessible, informed, and efficient.

Pompano Beach, Florida, United States, July 15, 2026 -- Endura Capital Investments has launched to expand the regional real estate market as a private equity fund dedicated to purchasing distressed properties. The newly established company acquires residential and multifamily assets facing pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, or bankruptcy proceedings, subsequently managing full-scale renovations to maximize property values. Driven by a mission to revitalize local neighborhoods, the enterprise optimizes asset performance to support long-term leasing, short-term rentals, or property resale.

The development of the business represents the realization of a long-term professional vision for the co-founders, who entered the venture with extensive background knowledge. Co-founder Mari Juliette possesses over nine years of specialized experience as a local real estate broker, focusing entirely on helping clients acquire, optimize, and sell investment properties. Her business partner, Lynn Nunes, originally connected with her a few years ago as a real estate client.

Recognizing strong operational potential in one another, they decided to consolidate their skills into a single enterprise. Nunes contributes a vast portfolio of multiple properties across South Florida alongside decades of buy-side acquisition, investment strategy, and remodeling experience, while Mari provides deep client relationships, regional connections, and lifelong local expertise.

Endura Capital Investments

The firm focuses its investment strategy on South Florida, identifying the region as a lucrative market positioned for sustained growth. Local market conditions support this focus, as evidenced by expanding job opportunities, international capital inflows, and an increasing demand for rental housing amid a tight supply of single-family homes. The area has experienced notable economic movement, including the posting of over 50,000 unique technology positions since early 2024 and projected economic growth of 2.5 to 3% for the Miami area in 2026. Furthermore, regional developments such as rising insurance costs and new condominium regulations have increased the volume of distressed and value-add assets entering the market, particularly in locations like Pompano Beach.

To capitalize on these conditions, Endura Capital Investments specializes in value-add single-family and multifamily properties, focusing on 10- to 100-unit apartment buildings. The firm employs a value-add investment model that targets forced appreciation by adjusting below-market rents to match prevailing regional rates, implementing physical capital improvements, and upgrading facilities. This structure is designed to benefit passive investors, particularly professionals and out-of-state individuals who want exposure to regional real estate but lack the time or contractor networks to navigate local variations with confidence.

“Real estate investment requires an intimate comprehension of micro-markets, where value can shift noticeably from one street to the next. True success relies on recognizing emerging neighborhoods positioned for growth through underlying development, rather than merely focusing on areas that already command a peak premium,” says Mari.

The firm aims to provide a distinct operational edge by helping address the challenges of complexity, time demands, and inconsistent local labor markets that often impact passive participants. To manage these factors, the business utilizes an established, dedicated team of professional contractors brought in from New York to handle all rehabilitation work internally. This internal management covers the entire lifecycle of the investment, protecting margins and helping to manage construction timelines predictably.

“By managing property acquisitions, structural remodeling, and asset management under a single unified operation, the typical friction points of property renovations are managed effectively,” Nunes states. “Sourcing assets through distressed and alternative channels allows for entry points that align with long-term capital preservation and stable value creation.”

The firm is seeking to raise capital by offering a structured framework that includes a cumulative preferred return for limited partners, an alternative compensation model with profit-sharing, and a defined operational timeline. This model manages assets through successive phases of capital raising, asset rehabilitation, and eventual exit strategies via refinancing or sale, providing clear expectations for participating partners.

Although Endura Capital Investments operates as a new entity, the combined real estate experience of its leadership team runs deep, spanning decades across brokerage, construction, and property management. This established background underpins plans for sustained institutional growth, with the leadership team maintaining a firm commitment to transparency, clear communication, and trust. The firm operates under the principle that investors are valued partners rather than figures on a ledger, focusing on long-term relationships as the business scales its presence across the regional market.

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands, July 15, 2026 -- The B2Press Online News Analysis 2026 examined selected online news outlets across Europe, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates between 1 January 2023 and 31 March 2026. More than three million URLs were evaluated through sitemap crawls, RSS feed analysis, Google News index samples and digital media monitoring tools.

Focusing on online news volume, branded visibility, press release-driven coverage and data use, the study found that digital news output increased by an average of 7% annually between 2023 and 2025.

According to the analysis, digital news production continued to expand throughout the same period, while the editorial value of PR content became increasingly dependent on the quality of the information it provides.

Regional differences in press release coverage

The analysis found that the UAE had the highest level of press release-driven coverage among the markets reviewed. Around 30% of news articles in the UAE were directly or indirectly based on press releases. The figure was 17% in Türkiye, compared with 9% in Europe and 7% in the UK.

Regional differences were also evident in brand visibility. The UAE recorded the highest share of articles mentioning a brand at 35%, followed by the Middle East with 28% and Türkiye with 24%. In both the Middle East and the UAE, business and economy news accounted for more than 30% of total news output, while over 60% of those articles included a brand.

Data gains importance in editorial decisions

The analysis also found that data is becoming a more important factor in editorial decisions. Among the markets analyzed, the UK recorded the highest level of data usage, with 31% of news articles including data, followed by Europe at 27%.

The BBC example demonstrates the distinction between publishing a press release and using it as a reporting source. While the share of press release-driven coverage remained low, 32% of BBC articles included data. According to the analysis, publications with stronger editorial standards are less likely to reproduce press releases directly and more likely to integrate verified information into their own reporting.

Commenting on the findings, Ediz Tokabaş, Managing Partner at B2Press, said:

“The findings show that the role of press releases is changing. Newsrooms are being asked to produce more content with fewer resources, and that makes verified information more valuable than ever. A press release that simply announces something is easier to ignore. A release that contains credible data, market context and a clear news angle is easier for a journalist to evaluate and use.”

Editorial quality defines PR success

A broader conclusion from B2Press Online News Analysis 2026 is that traditional press release formats lacking data, verification and context are becoming less effective in modern newsrooms. As digital news output continues to grow, editors are placing greater emphasis on trust signals that help distinguish useful information from promotional content.

“The shift should prompt PR teams to rethink the work that happens before distribution,” Tokabaş said. “The impact of a press release no longer begins with how widely it is sent. It begins with the quality of the content before it reaches the newsroom. Journalists are looking for information that can fit into their workflow quickly. Data-supported content, clear sourcing and relevant business context reduce friction for editors.”

The findings come as digital media organizations face rising content demand, fragmented audiences and growing concerns around misinformation. In this environment, visibility is increasingly linked to usefulness. According to the study, press releases built around verified figures, comparisons, market context and substantiated claims are more likely to be treated as editorial inputs.

“Success in PR is not only about storytelling,” Tokabaş added. “It is about providing reliable and usable information. Strong narratives still matter, but they need evidence that journalists can trust.”

The analysis suggests that the future of media relations will be shaped less by outreach volume and more by editorial quality. While press releases will continue to play an important role, their value will increasingly depend on whether they provide more than a company announcement. For newsrooms, the priority is better information, stronger context and data that earns editorial trust. For PR teams, this raises the bar while creating a clearer opportunity to help journalists verify, understand and report with confidence.

Deliveries of the all-new AITO M9 exceeded 10,000 units within three weeks of its launch, while deliveries of the AITO M9 Ultimate are scheduled to begin shortly.

AITO has consistently maintained its premium positioning. Through products such as the AITO M9 Ultimate, the brand continues to explore new possibilities in the premium automotive segment, strengthening its position through product excellence and technological innovation.

Industry analysts believe that this long-term premiumization strategy will be more important for future growth than short-term earnings fluctuations. AITO reflects the continued advancement of Chinese intelligent electric vehicle brands in the global premium market, while SERES remains well positioned for long-term growth.

Irvine, California, United States, July 14, 2026 -- Cytd.ai, an AI citation visibility platform, today announced its official launch. The company helps small and mid-sized businesses improve their visibility in AI-generated search results, addressing a growing gap between traditional Google rankings and the recommendations delivered by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Anthropic's Claude, and Grok.

Consumer search behavior is shifting quickly. One in ten U.S. internet users now turns to a generative AI tool first when searching online, and roughly a third of American adults reported using ChatGPT as of mid-2025 — a figure that has approximately doubled since 2023. AI-referred sessions to websites grew 527 percent year-over-year in the first half of 2025, and search analysts project a meaningful decline in traditional search volume through 2026 as AI tools absorb a larger share of discovery queries.

When consumers ask an AI assistant to recommend a local restaurant, insurance broker, real estate agent, or hotel, the response is not pulled from Google. It is generated from a separate ecosystem of training data, citations, and content signals that most businesses have not yet worked to influence. A business can hold a leading Google ranking and remain completely absent from the AI-generated recommendations its potential customers receive.

Addressing the Gap

Cytd.ai is built around a patent-pending AI layer that actively trains AI models on a client's behalf, rather than providing a dashboard of recommendations for businesses to implement themselves. When a business enrolls, a team of human account managers conducts a full audit of the company's presence across major AI platforms, identifies the factors preventing it from being cited, and carries out the technical and content-level work required to improve that standing.

“We are not just a reporting platform,” said Andrew Maltin, founder of Cytd.ai. “We built a technology company that teaches AI systems what a business does, who it serves, and why it should be cited. Our team does that work on behalf of every client.”

The platform evaluates each client across three dimensions: Visibility, which measures how often a business appears in AI-generated responses; Relevance, which measures how closely a business's content matches the questions its customers are actually asking AI systems; and Compliance, which evaluates whether a business's technical infrastructure meets the standards AI platforms use when deciding what to cite. These three inputs generate the Cytd Score, a proprietary metric that tracks a client's AI citation presence over time. Clients receive monthly performance reporting and ongoing access to a real-time dashboard.

Market Context

Research from Acquia found that 70 percent of organizations believe AI search will significantly affect their digital strategy within three years, while only 20 percent have begun taking action. Cytd.ai is positioned to serve the businesses most exposed to that gap: restaurant owners, real estate agents, insurance brokers, independent service professionals, and hotel operators who recognize that consumer behavior is shifting but lack a dedicated digital team to respond. The platform is also designed to scale for agencies managing AI visibility across multiple clients.

“The businesses that are going to win in AI search are not necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets,” Maltin said. “They are the ones that get started now.”

Cytd.ai is available now at cytd.ai

San Francisco, California, United States, July 14, 2026 -- The boutique domestic recruitment firm SPK Staffing has announced its national expansion and a comprehensive corporate rebranding strategy to accommodate growing client requests for diverse household placements. Formerly operating under the name Southpaw Kitchen Private Chef Staffing, the agency is broadening its operational scope from its foundational specialization in culinary placements to a full-service household recruitment structure. This development intends to transition the organization into a multifaceted placement partner capable of securing professional personnel for a wide array of domestic roles in estates across the United States.

According to founder David Potash, the operational adjustment comes as a direct response to evolving requirements from existing clientele who require qualified personnel to manage complex residential environments. He says, “Families who initially engaged with us for culinary placements frequently requested the same structured vetting methodology to fill additional critical positions within their residences.” By establishing a formalized recruitment architecture, utilizing an advanced applicant tracking system, and integrating specialized operational infrastructure via management software, the agency has institutionalized its selection framework to facilitate broader domestic placements.

The range of roles for the organization now encompasses several key residential positions, including but not limited to estate managers, personal assistants, housekeepers, household managers, and private chefs. This comprehensive service suite aims to address the operational realities of modern luxury residences, where staffing hierarchies and reporting structures may vary significantly from one household to another. The organization utilizes a standardized vetting blueprint across all job categories, helping ensure that the same rigorous verification protocols are applied universally, whether securing part-time or full-time permanent domestic staffing.

Potash brings more than 20 years of direct experience within private households to this expanded mandate, having worked as a long-term private chef, restaurant professional, and industry consultant. This background provides the firm with an understanding of both client expectations and candidate priorities, facilitating long-term professional alignments. The organizational placement methodology is designed around an evaluation of individual chemistry and behavioral attributes, recognizing that technical capabilities represent only a portion of successful residential longevity.

“The expansion of our service framework represents a strategic progression that aligns with our established history in private service,” states Potash. “Our focus is directed toward assisting families in establishing trusted, reliable household teams through a precise selection process that emphasizes communication, professional accountability, and a thorough appreciation of residential boundaries.”

The firm’s evaluation protocol relies on an open‑ended conversational exchange rather than fixed situational prompts, giving coordinators room to explore each applicant’s broader philosophical outlook and soft skills. For technically oriented roles, such as culinary professionals, the agency uses a balanced capability matrix in which technical mastery forms the primary basis of assessment. Meanwhile, the remaining weight is placed on qualities like adaptability, active listening, and interpersonal awareness. This dual‑lens approach aims to ensure that a candidate’s professional presence, communication style, and overall demeanor harmonize with the atmosphere and operational rhythm of the destination residence.

Potash notes that industry conditions indicate shifting wealth demographics, spanning traditional multi-generational households to modern corporate professionals, each requiring streamlined operational results without administrative delays. To maintain accountability and transparency, SPK Staffing prioritizes direct responsiveness and ongoing guidance throughout the contractual period and after placement completion. By focusing on customized relationship management over volume-based metrics, the firm aligns client expectations with performance outcomes to help ensure stability within the domestic service sector.

Switzerland, July 14, 2026 -- Fairclough Palmer AG Introduces EquityLink

Fairclough Palmer AG, a Swiss boutique investment company, today officially announced the rollout of EquityLink, an institutional grade digital asset exchange engineered to eliminate systemic friction across the global private market ecosystem. The platform introduces a highly automated, unified workflow that allows international investors ranging from family offices, angel investors to institutional asset managers to seamlessly deploy capital into high growth startups and established mid market private companies alike.

Historically, allocating capital within private markets has been constrained by fragmented communication channels, manual due diligence loops, and opaque transaction frameworks. EquityLink directly addresses these legacy inefficiencies by combining an open market, public exchange style interface with comprehensive, end to end deal management architecture.

An Institutional Gateway to Alternative Assets

EquityLink transforms the traditionally opaque process of alternative asset allocation into a highly scannable, data driven experience. At the core of the platform is a centralized, public exchange style display that provides investors with real time visibility into active market opportunities, structured deal terms, and issuer distributions. This transparent interface is backed by a robust, cross border investor directory, enabling institutional participants to identify syndication partners, track sector specific allocators, and establish verified professional networks.

To accelerate the transition from initial discovery to active deployment, EquityLink integrates an array of native capital management features:

Automated Regulatory Compliance: The platform features integrated, high-speed KYC (Know Your Customer), KYB (Know Your Business), and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening engines, ensuring all onboarding and cross border verifications meet stringent global regulatory benchmarks within minutes.

Secure Data Room Management: Issuers can host proprietary financial models, pitch decks, and legal structures within secure, audit ready virtual data rooms featuring granular access permissions.

Direct Transaction Messaging: Facilitates secure, encrypted communications between corporate treasurers, founders, and compliance officers directly alongside the transaction workspace, removing the need for fragmented third party email threads.

Supporting Capital Formation via Advanced Treasury Management

Beyond transaction execution, EquityLink embeds strategic fiscal stability into the capital formation lifecycle. The platform incorporates elements of Fairclough Palmer AG's sophisticated corporate treasury strategy, providing scaling enterprises and established issuers with structured framework guidance to preserve liquidity post capital raise, aligning primary issuance workflows with proactive treasury oversight, the platform ensures that newly raised capital is optimized against market volatility, supporting long term corporate sustainability and predictable investor yields.

This operational launch follows consecutive growth milestones for Fairclough Palmer AG, including the successful processing of over Fr. 1,500,000 in options contracts and an active corporate footprint expanding across 10 global markets.

A New Global Benchmark for Private Markets

Operating out of Zürich's international financial hub, EquityLink is purpose built to service a borderless alternative asset class, bridging the structural capabilities of public markets with the massive growth potential of the private sector infrastructure.

Corporate issuers looking to list liquidity events or institutional investors seeking targeted, cross border allocation protocols can initiate secure onboarding protocols at FaircloughPalmer.ch/EquityLink.

Seattle-Tacoma, WA, Washington, United States, July 14, 2026 -- Digital.Marketing today announced the expansion of its agentic AI marketing solutions for white label partners, giving agencies, consultants, software companies and other service providers access to AI-powered marketing execution that can be delivered under their own brands.

The expanded offering combines autonomous AI agents, human oversight and established digital marketing processes to help partners provide services across search engine optimization, content marketing, paid media, lead generation, conversion optimization, analytics and marketing operations.

Unlike basic AI tools that generate isolated pieces of content, agentic AI systems are designed to manage multi-step workflows, coordinate tasks across platforms, analyze performance data and continuously adjust execution based on defined objectives.

Digital.Marketing’s white label model allows partners to incorporate these capabilities into their existing service portfolios without building and maintaining an internal AI marketing infrastructure.

“Most agencies understand that agentic AI will materially change how marketing services are delivered, but building the underlying systems, workflows and quality controls is a major undertaking,” said Timothy Carter, Chief Revenue Officer of Digital.Marketing. “Our white label program gives partners a practical way to offer advanced AI-enabled marketing services while maintaining control of the client relationship, pricing and brand experience.”

White label partners can use Digital.Marketing’s team and technology infrastructure to support recurring client engagements, specialized projects or broader outsourced marketing operations. Programs can be configured around the partner’s service model, client requirements and preferred level of involvement.

Potential applications include:

• AI-assisted SEO research and content planning
• Automated content production and optimization workflows
• Internal linking and on-page SEO management
• Paid media monitoring and campaign optimization
• Lead generation and outbound marketing support
• Marketing analytics, reporting and performance alerts
• Competitive research and market intelligence
• Conversion rate optimization and website testing
• Cross-channel campaign coordination
• AI-supported marketing operations and task management

The expanded solution is intended to help partners increase service capacity while reducing the operational burden associated with hiring, training and managing additional specialists.

“Agentic AI is not simply about producing more content faster,” said Samuel Edwards, Chief Marketing Officer of Digital.Marketing. “The larger opportunity is creating coordinated systems that can research, plan, execute, measure and improve marketing activity across the customer journey. We are helping white label partners turn those capabilities into structured, repeatable services that create measurable value for their clients.”

Digital.Marketing’s approach combines AI automation with strategic review, editorial controls and human quality assurance. Partners can determine which activities are automated, which require approval and which remain directly managed by human specialists.

The company can also support private, customized and industry-specific implementations for partners that require specialized workflows, data controls, integrations or client-facing reporting.

The expansion reflects growing demand from agencies and service providers seeking to adopt AI without compromising quality, accountability or client ownership.

“Our goal is not to replace the agency or consultant,” Carter added. “Our goal is to give them leverage. They remain the trusted advisor, while our systems and specialists help them deliver more sophisticated services at greater scale.”

Digital.Marketing is currently accepting applications from qualified white label partners.

About Digital.Marketing

Digital.Marketing provides AI-enabled digital marketing strategy, technology and execution services for companies, agencies and white label partners. Its capabilities include search engine optimization, content marketing, paid media, lead generation, conversion optimization, analytics and agentic AI marketing systems.

United Arab Emirates, July 14, 2026 -- Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Zenith Education presents a modernized admissions model for international university applicants navigating complex global education and career decisions. The company also reports that every student it has advised to date has received an acceptance from at least one of their top three university choices.

Founded by entrepreneur Serge Nader, Zenith Education combines individualized university planning, international destination expertise, career research, digital communication, and artificial intelligence supported assessment tools. The announcement reflects the company’s effort to update how applicants are guided through course selection, destination planning, application development, and long term career decisions.

A Modern Admissions Model for a New Generation

Zenith Education serves students considering universities across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Australia. Its advisors assess academic history, personal interests, financial considerations, career goals, and destination preferences before developing an application strategy.

The firm was established around the observation that Generation Z students approach education, communication, technology, and career planning differently from previous generations. Its model provides individualized guidance through digital channels while maintaining detailed review standards throughout the admissions process.

“Students applying to university today are considering more than where they will study,” said Serge Nader, founder and chief executive officer of Zenith Education. “They are also asking whether the degree they choose will remain relevant, how technology will affect their future profession, and whether their education will prepare them for the workplace they will eventually enter.”

A Reported Top Three Acceptance Record

According to Zenith Education, its reported acceptance outcome is supported by detailed student profile development before a university list is finalized. The process reviews academic strengths, extracurricular activities, personal goals, financial considerations, intended fields of study, and the competitiveness of each institution.

The firm separates university choices into ambitious, balanced, and lower risk options. Applications are prepared individually rather than through standardized templates, with each submission developed around the student’s background, achievements, objectives, and academic direction.

“We do not promise a specific university, because nobody honestly can,” Nader said. “What we promise is a full list of universities genuinely worth wanting, and an acceptance from one of the schools at the very top of it. We have delivered on that for every student so far.”

Zenith Education states that its 100% top three acceptance record applies to every student represented by the firm to date. The figure is presented as a reported internal performance result and not as a guarantee of admission to any institution.

Connecting University Choices With Future Careers

Alongside admissions support, Zenith Education is expanding its work on the future of careers and the effect of artificial intelligence on employment. The firm examines how automation may reshape professions, workplace skills, and entry level roles over the next decade.

This research is incorporated into counseling sessions with students choosing majors and career pathways. Zenith Education also provides training for schools, counselors, and students on evaluating academic programs against anticipated changes in industry demand.

“An acceptance letter is only one part of a successful education decision,” Nader said. “Students also need to understand how their chosen field may evolve, which skills remain valuable, and how they can work alongside new technology rather than compete directly with it.”

The Zen Test Supports Early Career Exploration

The same career planning framework supports the Zen Test, a free AI adaptive career assessment developed by Zenith Education. The assessment is designed to be completed in under 20 minutes and is available in English, Arabic, Hindi, French, and Spanish.

The Zen Test helps students explore careers, university majors, and school subject choices based on their reported strengths, preferences, and interests. School counselors can access a dashboard that identifies students who may require additional guidance and provides class level information for broader planning.

An International Strategy Without Destination Limits

Zenith Education follows a destination open strategy. Instead of directing applicants toward a single country, advisors compare institutions across multiple regions according to academic fit, budget, career objectives, program structure, scholarship availability, location, and personal preferences.

“The international students today are genuinely global,” Nader said. “The same student may be comparing an economics offer in Toronto, a business school in Amsterdam, and a scholarship in Sydney. An advisor focused on only one destination may not be able to evaluate those choices in the same context.”

The firm’s core destination expertise includes Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, with additional counseling coverage across the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Australia. Recommendations are developed around the individual student rather than a predetermined destination.

Digital Communication With Individual Review

Zenith Education describes its operating model as designed for Generation Z students, particularly in how advisors communicate and manage application timelines. Communication is conducted through digital channels familiar to students, while application progress and document requests are organized around shorter response cycles.

The company maintains that speed should not replace review quality. Its model is intended to reduce unnecessary delays while retaining individual research, application planning, personal statement development, document checks, and university specific preparation.

“Speed and quality are often treated as competing priorities in university admissions,” Nader said. “A modern advisor should be capable of communicating quickly while still completing the research and detailed review required for a strong application.”

The announcement brings together Zenith Education’s admissions advisory work, international university expertise, school training services, and career technology tools under a modernized guidance model.

About Zenith Education

Zenith Education is an international university placement advisory founded by Serge Nader. The company supports students applying worldwide through university selection, application planning, career guidance, school training, and the free Zen Test.

SERES stated that its short-term earnings were affected by a combination of factors, including rising prices of key raw materials such as memory chips, industrial metals, and lithium carbonate, as well as non-recurring impairment charges on certain existing assets.

The entire China automotive industry is also experiencing pressure from rising costs and intensifying competition. However, SERES continues to demonstrate strong long-term growth potential.

California, United States, July 13, 2026 -- Markifact, an AI marketing automation platform, announced the global availability of its hosted Google Ads MCP server on July 13, 2026. The service enables marketers and agencies to connect Google Ads accounts with MCP-compatible AI assistants for reporting, campaign management, and account optimization without setting up or maintaining their own MCP infrastructure.

The Model Context Protocol, commonly known as MCP, is a standard that allows AI assistants to connect with external software and perform defined tasks. Through Markifact, users can access Google Ads from tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other applications that support MCP.

Markifact’s hosted service is intended for marketers who want to use Google Ads through an AI assistant without configuring a local server, managing a Google Ads developer token, creating OAuth credentials, or maintaining a Google Cloud project.

Users connect their Google Ads account to Markifact through OAuth and then add the Markifact MCP connection to their preferred AI assistant. Once connected, they can request reports, review campaign performance, investigate search terms, prepare account changes, and manage advertising operations using natural-language instructions.

The Google Ads MCP server supports both reporting and account management. Users can retrieve performance data from connected Google Ads accounts and ask their AI assistant to summarize results, identify performance changes, compare campaigns, or review specific areas of an account.

For example, a marketer can request an account audit, ask for a campaign performance summary, review search terms for irrelevant traffic, or compare results across multiple advertising accounts. Agencies can use the same connection to work across client accounts without repeatedly moving between separate Google Ads interfaces.

The service supports read and write operations, including creating and updating campaigns, changing budgets, managing keywords, editing ads, and adding negative keyword lists. Markifact provides more than 500 operations across over 30 advertising, analytics, and productivity platforms through its wider MCP and automation platform.

Every operation that modifies a Google Ads account is held for human approval. The proposed action does not take effect until the user reviews and approves it.

“AI assistants are ready to perform practical advertising work, but marketers still need control over what changes in their accounts,” said Ahmed Ali, founder of Markifact. “The approval process allows the assistant to handle repetitive operational work while the marketer retains the final decision.”

Google also provides an official Google Ads MCP server as an open-source developer tool. Its current implementation focuses on read-only reporting and requires users to configure technical components including a Google Ads developer token and OAuth credentials.

Markifact operates as an independent third-party service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. Its hosted implementation provides a managed alternative for users who require both reporting and approved account-management operations.

The Google Ads integration is part of Markifact’s broader MCP service for marketing platforms. A single Markifact MCP connection can provide an AI assistant with access to supported advertising, analytics, ecommerce, and productivity services connected by the user.

Additional information about the platform is available on the Markifact website.
