New collaboration bridges the gap between home environmental assessment and clinical testing, empowering consumers with more actionable insights into the connection between home and health

CLEARWATER, Fla., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The DUST Test and Mosaic Diagnostics have announced a strategic partnership designed to strengthen the connection between environmental exposures and health outcomes. By combining advanced home-based environmental screening with high-quality, precision laboratory testing, the collaboration provides both consumers and practitioners with a more comprehensive framework for understanding how mold exposure and water-damaged buildings may be impacting wellness and long-term health.

The partnership represents a significant step forward in addressing one of the most persistent challenges in environmental medicine: understanding the relationship between what is present within a home environment and what is occurring within the body. For consumers, this means a clearer, more complete picture, without needing to navigate separate environmental and clinical tests on their own.

As part of this collaboration, The DUST Test is introducing the Mycotoxin Body + Home Panel, a new bundled offering that pairs The DUST Test’s at-home dust screening with Mosaic Diagnostics’ MycoTOX Profile®, an at-home urine-based assay that evaluates mycotoxins from some of the most toxigenic mold classes. Together, the two tests give consumers and practitioners a side-by-side view of mold species present in the home alongside any related mycotoxin levels in the body, all from the comfort of home.

“Historically, environmental testing and patient testing have often existed in separate silos,” said Michael Rubino, Co-Founder of The DUST Test and Founder of HomeCleanse. “This partnership helps bridge that gap by giving both consumers and practitioners a clearer picture of how environmental findings may correlate with clinical biomarkers. Our goal is to provide more confidence, clarity, and direction, whether someone is proactively investing in their wellness and longevity or working with a clinical provider to get to the root of ongoing symptoms.”

Mosaic Diagnostics brings more than three decades of experience in functional laboratory testing, including advanced mycotoxin analysis that helps evaluate a person’s internal exposure and toxic burden. Together, the two organizations are creating an integrated approach that allows consumers and practitioners to assess both potential sources of exposure and the impact those exposures may be having on the body.

“More people are taking an active role in understanding the factors that may be influencing their health, and environmental exposures are an important part of that conversation. Mycotoxins can have significant health impacts for some individuals, yet exposure often goes unrecognized. By pairing The DUST Test with our MycoTOX Profile®, we’re empowering practitioners and consumers with more complete insights that can help identify potential sources of exposure and support more informed health decisions,” said Scott Mattivi, CEO, Mosaic Diagnostics.

The combined testing approach may be particularly valuable for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their environment and overall wellness, including those focused on longevity, proactive health optimization, and identifying root causes behind symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, respiratory concerns, immune dysregulation, neurological symptoms, and inflammation.

In addition to improving consumer and patient care, the partnership also reflects a shared commitment to advancing scientific understanding of the home-health connection. The DUST Test has established an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to support the collection and evaluation of environmental and clinical correlation data. This initiative will help generate meaningful research aimed at improving how environmental exposures are evaluated and understood within healthcare settings.

Contribution profit per booking rises 30% to $12.94; contribution margin expands 800 basis points to 55% of revenue; net loss attributable to shareholders narrows 43% to $14.62 million

BENGALURU, India, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: ZCAR), India’s largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, capping a year in which the company deliberately traded volume for profitability and, by nearly every measure that matters, was proven right.

Contribution profit rose 19 percent to $5.07 million, representing 55 percent of net revenue, an expansion of 800 basis points over the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed by 47 percent to $5.22 million from $9.91 million. Net loss attributable to shareholders fell 43 percent, to $14.62 million from $25.62 million. Loss from operations improved 35 percent to $6.77 million. And for the tenth consecutive quarter, the marketplace generated positive contribution profit, a run that now stretches back two and a half years.

What makes the year unusual is how it was achieved. Zoomcar spent dramatically less to acquire demand, not more. Marketing costs excluding brand marketing fell by roughly two-thirds to $0.20 million, and host incentives declined 26 percent. Yet contribution profit per booking climbed 30 percent, to $12.94 from $9.96. Gross booking value held essentially flat at $25.27 million — the same volume of commerce moving across the platform, on some 35,000 fewer bookings, each of them materially more profitable.

“We made a deliberate decision this year: stop buying growth, and prove the marketplace can stand on its own economics,” said Deepankar Tiwari, Chief Executive Officer of Zoomcar. “Ten consecutive quarters of positive contribution profit is not a streak. It is a structural result. Every booking on our platform is now meaningfully more profitable than it was a year ago, and it is happening without discounting, without paid acquisition at scale, and with more than half our bookings coming from guests who simply chose to come back.”

Bookings declined 8 percent year over year, to 391,302 from 426,788 — the direct and intended consequence of withdrawing performance marketing spend and prioritizing higher-value, higher-retention trips. Beneath that headline, the quality of demand strengthened across the board. Repeat users accounted for 51 percent of all bookings, a level the company has now sustained for more than six consecutive quarters without significant incentivization or discounting. Average guest trip rating improved to 4.77 out of five, from 4.69. The number of hosts rated 4.5 or above grew 7 percent, deepening supply-side quality on the platform. Zoomcar continues to record approximately 700,000 monthly rental sessions with no performance marketing spend behind them, and organic traffic converts at roughly twice the rate of paid.

The cost base was reset in parallel. Cost of revenue fell 16 percent to $4.43 million, lifting gross profit 24 percent to $4.73 million on essentially flat revenue of $9.16 million. Finance costs declined 63 percent to $3.18 million as the company continued to restructure its balance sheet, and other expenses, net, fell 39 percent.

Zoomcar continues to execute a multi-track plan to strengthen its balance sheet and fund the next phase of expansion. The company is actively raising growth capital, has launched a warrant exchange tender offer to simplify its capital structure, and has engaged an investment bank to help with a potential uplist to a premier U.S. national securities exchange. Debt restructuring remains ongoing, with the company working toward positive net worth on minimal cash burn.

In the news release, Coreshell Technologies Partners with L&F to Scale Batteries Free of Chinese Materials, issued 10-Jul-2026 by Coreshell Technologies over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

Coreshell Technologies Partners with L&F to Scale Batteries Free of Chinese Materials

Coreshell’s cathode active materials supply deal with L&F eliminates the final FEOC risk in the battery supply chain — giving defense suppliers, OEMs, and energy storage customers a fully China-free option

SAN LEANDRO, Calif., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coreshell Technologies, a battery technology company, today announced an eight-year supply agreement with L&F Co., Ltd to secure a long-term supply of lithium-iron phosphate (“LFP”) cathode active materials. The agreement marks a pivotal step in onshoring one of the most critical sourcing bottlenecks in the battery supply chain. Coreshell now has access to one of the largest non-Chinese sources of LFP, delivering a battery supply chain that is fully compliant with emerging U.S. sourcing requirements. For defense suppliers, mobility OEMs, and energy storage companies, that means Coreshell can build a product using a resilient supply chain deeply rooted in security and compliance.

As U.S. policy increasingly restricts battery materials sourced from Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOCs), manufacturers are facing growing pressure to build FEOC-free supply chains. Today, the overwhelming majority of LFP is produced in China, leaving battery manufacturers exposed to geopolitical disruption, changing trade policies, and volatile lead times.

With this long-term supply chain agreement in place, Coreshell can offer customers a FEOC-compliant battery platform at both the anode and cathode level — closing the gap that has left manufacturers exposed to dependency on Chinese companies. Coreshell’s proprietary nanomaterials enable metallurgical-grade silicon, sourced in the United States, to perform reliably in lithium-ion battery cells, eliminating the structural degradation that has historically limited metallurgical-grade silicon at scale. Combined with L&F’s LFP cathode active materials, this is the only verified, full-cell compliant supply chain combination available at commercial scale.

Federal procurement programs administered through the US Department of War and Department of Energy have incorporated domestic sourcing restrictions into funding and contract eligibility criteria, and private sector OEMs are applying similar standards in their own purchasing decisions. The eight-year L&F agreement is designed to give Coreshell the supply certainty needed to serve these customers reliably across multi-year program cycles.

“We are pleased to partner with Coreshell, whose battery platform is gaining momentum across EV and defense applications,” said Sung-Hun Yu, CFO of L&F. “This agreement demonstrates the growing recognition of L&F’s LFP cathode material technology and non-China supply chain competitiveness in North America, while supporting customers’ increasing needs for supply stability, regulatory responsiveness, and procurement readiness under evolving U.S. requirements such as NDAA. As Coreshell expands into mission-critical energy applications, including defense platforms, we believe this collaboration represents an important opportunity for L&F’s LFP cathode materials to extend beyond ESS and support a broader range of mobility and defense-related markets.”

“This agreement completes what we’ve been building toward — a battery manufactured in the U.S. that’s fully free of Chinese minerals and components from anode to cathode, and that meets the highest compliance standards available,” said Jonathan Tan, CEO of Coreshell Technologies. “For customers in defense, EVs, and grid storage, supply chain compliance is now a procurement prerequisite, and this deal gives Coreshell the ability to meet that standard at scale.”

About Coreshell Technologies, Inc.

Coreshell Technologies develops high-performance batteries that replace graphite with domestically sourced metallurgical silicon. Its proprietary platform unlocks the performance of metallurgical silicon, delivering higher performance than conventional battery cells at significantly lower cost. Headquartered in San Leandro, California, Coreshell works with battery manufacturers, auto OEMs, and defense customers committed to a fully domestic energy supply chain.

• A blood test for Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers helped improve diagnostic accuracy among specialists and primary care physicians in a real-world study.
• In a head-to-head comparison after reviewing blood test results, primary care physicians and specialists both had a diagnostic accuracy of around 90%.
• For primary care physicians, the test was most helpful in ruling out Alzheimer’s disease.

LONDON, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Knowledge of blood test results enables primary care physicians to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease with essentially the same accuracy as specialists, a major step toward expanding access to an accurate diagnosis for millions of patients, suggests new data reported for the first time at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference^® (AAIC^®) 2026 in London and online.

In one of the first real-world studies of its kind — including more than 1,300 patients and 165 physicians — researchers found that a blood-based biomarker test significantly improved the accuracy of Alzheimer’s diagnosis in both primary and specialty care settings. The test measures amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau, both of which are abnormal brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

In a direct comparison among primary care patients, primary care physicians achieved nearly the same diagnostic accuracy as dementia specialists — around 90% for both. After seeing the blood test results, the physicians changed diagnoses in about one-third of the patients and changed their plans for future care and examinations for more than half of the patients.

“We wanted to find out whether a simple blood test for Alzheimer’s changes how doctors actually diagnose and manage their patients in everyday clinical care,” said Sebastian Palmqvist, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study, neurologist and associate professor of neurology at Lund University, Sweden. “Accurate Alzheimer’s diagnosis has largely been limited to specialist settings. Our findings show that this blood test could bring that level of accuracy into primary care, where most patients are first seen, closing the gap between primary care and specialty care.”

The blood test was most useful in primary care for ruling out Alzheimer’s, Dr. Palmqvist said. Primary care clinicians remained cautious about using it to diagnose the disease, preferring to send their patients to a specialist for confirmation, as is appropriate, he noted.

Today, the standard of care for confirming Alzheimer’s disease involves specialized tests such as PET scans (brain imaging) and spinal fluid analysis, tools that are often costly and not widely available outside of memory clinics.

“This is hopeful news for patients, who often face delays, referrals and long wait times before receiving a clear diagnosis and treatment,” said Sheena Aurora, M.D., Alzheimer’s Association vice president of medical affairs. “The results suggest highly accurate blood tests can change — even improve — diagnosis and medical management in primary and secondary care, meaning doctors all along the care continuum may find them useful. This study strongly suggests there is great clinical utility for this test.”

The interim results from the study included 1,310 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia in Sweden, including 927 evaluated by specialists and 383 evaluated in primary care. The patients seen in primary care were also independently assessed by dementia specialists, enabling a head-to-head comparison of diagnostic accuracy between primary care physicians and specialists. To measure real-world impact on clinical decision-making, researchers compared physicians’ working diagnoses and management plans before and after receiving results from the PrecivityAD2^™ blood test.

The researchers used cerebrospinal fluid analysis, amyloid PET and a consensus diagnosis by dementia experts to assess the accuracy of the diagnoses. In the interim analysis, the specialists’ diagnostic accuracy rose from 74% before to 89% after receiving the blood test results. In the primary care group, primary care physicians’ diagnostic accuracy rose from 65% before to 93% after receiving blood test results. In a head-to-head comparison of those patients, specialists achieved 94% accuracy after receiving the blood test results.

Additionally, primary care clinicians changed their diagnoses for 30% of patients, with the greatest impact seen in ruling out Alzheimer’s as the cause of the patients’ cognitive issues. Their willingness to rule out Alzheimer’s increased from 12.9% to 25% after a negative test result. Dementia experts changed their diagnosis in 21.6% of patients and were far more likely to make an immediate Alzheimer’s diagnosis without additional testing when the test was positive (1.9% to 55.4%).

After receiving the blood test results, clinical management was revised in about half of the cases, both in primary and secondary care, including changes to referrals, additional testing and treatment decisions.

“A negative result helped primary care physicians confidently rule out Alzheimer’s and look for other causes of the symptoms,” Dr. Palmqvist said. “It’s important to remember that these blood tests are designed specifically to detect Alzheimer’s, so patients with negative results may still have other neurological conditions and may still be suitable for referral to a specialist for further evaluation.”

To guide primary care clinicians in the appropriate use of blood biomarker tests, the Alzheimer’s Association is preparing a concise decision-making tool to be posted on ALZPro^®, its central hub of professional resources. The Association has also published Clinical Practice Guidelines that provide clear, evidence-based, brand-agnostic recommendations to support appropriate use of blood tests in specialty care in people experiencing dementia symptoms.

“Because not all blood-based biomarker tests meet the same standards for accuracy, clear evidence-based guidance is essential,” Dr. Aurora said. “These tools help clinicians make informed decisions about using the right blood-based biomarker test for the right patient at the right time.”

Award brings TOTE Services’ proven Vessel Construction Manager experience to a mission-critical U.S. Navy and Marine Corps shipbuilding program

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TOTE Services, LLC, has been awarded a contract by the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Maritime (PAE Maritime) to serve as Vessel Construction Manager (VCM) for the Medium Landing Ship (LSM) program.

The LSM program is a complex, multi-ship effort requiring coordination across U.S. shipyards, suppliers, designers, manufacturers, and government stakeholders. The program will require standardizing configuration across the fleet, using multi-ship procurement to support favorable pricing, and delivering mission-ready vessels with lifecycle logistics in place. As VCM, TOTE Services will provide one accountable management structure connecting government requirements to shipyard execution, helping to accelerate delivery, strengthen cost and schedule discipline, and expand the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base.

The LSM program can also provide a more reliable demand signal for American shipyards, suppliers, manufacturers, and skilled trades, helping the industrial base plan, invest, and build with greater consistency.

“This is a tremendous responsibility and a defining moment for American shipbuilding, the VCM model, and TOTE Services,” said Jeff Dixon, President of TOTE Services. “We are grateful to PAE Maritime, the Marine Corps, Congress, and the many government leaders who have championed this important program and helped bring the VCM model to a mission of national importance. We look forward to collaborating with and supporting PAE Maritime as we work together on LSM. The U.S. is counting on this program to succeed, and our job is clear: steward the work responsibly, cultivate the best talent and expertise, move with urgency, and deliver for the American people.”

TOTE Services helped pioneer the VCM model in U.S. government shipbuilding through its work on the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) program for the U.S. Maritime Administration. As VCM for the five-vessel program, TOTE Services has overseen shipyard selection, design, construction, testing, delivery, and lifecycle logistics, with three vessels delivered and the remaining ships expected within the next 12 months.

“The VCM model shows what is possible when government requirements are paired with commercial shipbuilding practices and sustained investment in American shipyards and maritime workers,” said Matthew Paxton, President of the Shipbuilders Council of America. “The success of the NSMV program has created a strong foundation for expanding domestic shipbuilding capacity and delivering the ships our nation needs.”

The award is valued at $2.2 billion for Vessel Construction Management services for the new construction of up to eight (8) Medium Landing Ships. The program supports the Navy and Marine Corps’ planned 35-ship LSM fleet.

TOTE Services will hold the prime contract with PAE Maritime and award and manage shipyard subcontracts directly. The company will soon begin issuing requests for proposals to qualified U.S. shipyards and will advance shipyard selection, supplier engagement, construction planning, and program mobilization.

“The shipyards building these vessels are central to the success of the LSM program, and we are ready to support them every step of the way,” said Chris Clark, Vice President of New Construction at TOTE Services. “Our commitment is to provide the clarity, consistency, and support our industry partners need to do what they do best: deliver high-quality ships for the American people.”

TOTE Services will also subcontract with several industry-leading organizations to support the technical execution of the LSM program. These teaming partners include Leidos Gibbs & Cox, The McHenry Management Group (TMMG), MAD Security, and Damen, each of which will play a critical role in delivering this capability to the Navy and Marine Corps.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO): (i) Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) issued in connection with BitGo’s January 22, 2026 initial public offering (“IPO”); and/or (ii) securities between January 22, 2026 and May 13, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important August 7, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased BitGo securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the BitGo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/bitgo-holdings-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 7, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, the Offering Documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. Additionally, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding BitGo’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Offering Documents and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants understated the scope and severity of the risk that declining digital asset prices posed to BitGo’s business and financial performance; (2) consequently, defendants’ statements regarding, inter alia, BitGo’s financial performance and business prospects as a public company lacked a reasonable basis; and (3) as a  result, the Offering Documents and defendants’ public statements throughout the Class Period were materially false and/or misleading and/or failed to state information required to be stated therein. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the BitGo class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/bitgo-holdings-inc/join  or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

/C O R R E C T I O N – Be LOVE™/ In the news release, Be LOVE™ Expands into the Protein Category with Power + Restore™, A Refreshing Clear Protein Drink That Reimagines Everyday Protein, issued 13-Jul-2026 by Be LOVE™ over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

Be LOVE™ Expands into the Protein Category with Power + Restore™, A Refreshing Clear Protein Drink That Reimagines Everyday Protein

Created by Vital Proteins founder Kurt Seidensticker, Be LOVE™’s first protein beverage delivers 15g of protein in a light, refreshing format designed for everyday life while helping provide clean drinking water with every purchase.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Be LOVE™, the purpose-driven functional beverage brand built from health, connection, and purpose, announced the launch of Power + Restore™ on June 29th, a refreshing clear protein drink that makes everyday protein simple. Delivering 15 grams of protein, 100% Daily Value of essential vitamins and minerals, zero sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, Power + Restore™ offers clean, convenient nutrition in a light, crisp format without the heaviness of traditional protein shakes.

As consumers continue to prioritize protein as part of their daily wellness routine, they’re increasingly looking for lighter, more refreshing ways to incorporate it throughout the day. Rather than thick meal replacement shakes or powders requiring mixing, Power + Restore™ delivers meaningful protein in a refreshing ready-to-drink format. Whether enjoyed after a workout, between meetings, during an afternoon reset, or simply as an easy way to increase daily protein intake, Power + Restore™ makes getting more protein feel refreshingly simple.

Available in six nostalgic, fruit-forward flavors: Strawberry Swirl, Orange Dream, Rocket Pop, Cherry Vanilla, Peach Mango, and Lemon Drop, Power + Restore combines 13g of clear whey protein isolate and 5g of collagen peptides, delivering 15g of protein alongside essential vitamins and minerals to support everyday wellness, recovery, and balanced nutrition. Each can delivers:

• 15g total protein, including 13g clear whey protein isolate and 5g collagen peptides
• 100% Daily Value of essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, Zinc, and B-vitamins
• Zero sugar
• No artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners
• Light, crisp, non-carbonated refreshment
• Ready-to-drink convenience with no powders or mixing required
• BPA- and PFA-free packaging

After pioneering collagen from a niche ingredient into a billion-dollar wellness category with Vital Proteins, founder Kurt Seidensticker is turning his attention to what’s next, reimagining protein for everyday life. With Power + Restore™, he’s introducing a new kind of protein drink that is clear, refreshing, and intentionally crafted to make getting protein feel simple.

“When we built Vital Proteins, we helped people discover the power of collagen. Today, I believe protein is the next everyday wellness habit ready to evolve,” said Kurt Seidensticker, Founder of Be LOVE™ and Founder of Vital Proteins. “Power + Restore™ isn’t about making another protein shake. It’s about creating a protein drink people genuinely want to reach for every day, one that tastes refreshing, fits into real life, and reminds us that taking care of ourselves gives us the strength to care for the people we love.”

Like every Be LOVE™ beverage, Power + Restore™ also creates impact beyond personal wellness. Through the brand’s One for Ten partnership with GivePower, every can purchased helps provide ten people with access to one day of safe, clean drinking water through GivePower’s innovative Solar Water Farm program. These solar-powered desalination systems bring sustainable drinking water to communities facing chronic water scarcity around the world.

Power + Restore™ joins Be LOVE™ ‘s growing portfolio of functional beverages, Energy + Restore™ and Hydration + Balance™, continuing its mission to create healthier, happier humans through thoughtfully crafted beverages that nourish the body while giving back.

Power + Restore™ is available now nationwide at Sprouts Farmers Market, where Rocket Pop, Lemon Drop, and Cherry Vanilla will debut as exclusive in-store flavors. The full selection is also available DTC at drink.love and on Amazon. Access product imagery HERE and HERE (Credit: Be LOVE™).

Born at the intersection of culture and wellness, Be LOVE™ is redefining hydration and energy through a lens of connection and social good. As a partner of Live Nation, we exist at the heart of the music and shared experiences that unite us all. We are moving beyond the heavy, over-processed standards of traditional beverages to offer a more intentional way to hydrate and energize.

Our Electrolyte line is crafted for the wellness-conscious individual, providing a balanced, intentionally light flavor profile designed for anytime hydration. This non-sparkling beverage prioritizes purity and daily harmony to help you feel clear and move with ease.

Leadership evolution positions the surgeon-founded platform for accelerated expansion across the Northeast

HACKENSACK, N.J., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MAX Surgical Specialty Management (MAX), the leading surgeon-led platform for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) in the Northeast, today announced a leadership structure built for its next chapter of growth. Dr. Jason M. Auerbach, who founded MAX in 2022, has been named Chief Executive Officer. Jeffrey DeBellis has been promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer, and Jeffrey Couper continues as Chief Financial Officer.

The realignment sharpens accountability across the organization at a pivotal moment: MAX now supports more than 50 surgeons across over 40 locations in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Vermont, and is accelerating its pace of partnership with independent OMS practices throughout the region.

“MAX was built on a simple idea: surgeons deserve a partner who understands this specialty from the inside, because we live it every day,” said Dr. Jason M. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer of MAX Surgical Specialty Management. “This structure lets each of us lead from our strength. I stay closest to the clinical and cultural core of what we’re building. Jeff runs the operating engine that lets our practices grow without losing what makes them exceptional. Our surgeons get the best of both.”

As President and COO, DeBellis will oversee day-to-day operations across MAX’s partner practices, deepening the operational infrastructure that has supported the platform’s growth to date.

“Jason’s clinical credibility is the foundation this company is built on, and that hasn’t changed,” said DeBellis. “What’s changed is that we now have the structure to match our ambitions. My focus is making sure every practice that joins MAX gets stronger the day they partner with us, not just on paper, but in the day-to-day realities of running a surgical practice.”

Couper will continue to lead MAX’s financial strategy as the organization scales.

“Our investment in MAX was predicated on our belief in Jason’s vision of building the leading surgeon-led oral and maxillofacial surgery platform in the country,” said Jeff Ward of MedEquity Capital. “We have the utmost faith in Jason’s leadership and his team, and we continue to invest behind MAX’s expansion in the Northeast and beyond.”

Today, MAX enables its partner practices to preserve full clinical autonomy while gaining institutional-grade support across operations, finance, marketing, human resources, compliance, recruiting, revenue cycle management, and business development. As it enters this next phase, the organization remains anchored to its founding premise: that the best outcomes for patients start with surgeons who are supported, not managed from a distance.

About MAX Surgical Specialty Management

Founded in 2022, MAX Surgical Specialty Management is redefining the future of oral and maxillofacial surgery. A surgeon-led management services organization (MSO), MAX empowers clinical leaders to thrive by offering robust operational support, advanced technology, and a network of elite peers, while safeguarding the autonomy and identity of every practice.

With a growing footprint across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Vermont, MAX is committed to building a better model: one that elevates patient care, drives professional growth, and delivers sustainable success for surgeons.

MAX is backed by MedEquity Capital, RF Investment Partners, and Kian Capital.

The article outlines how coordinated exterior remodeling planning improves durability, efficiency, and overall home design consistency.

FULTON, N.Y., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should homeowners think about before beginning an exterior remodel? The answer is addressed in a HelloNation article that explores how thoughtful exterior remodeling planning leads to better long-term results.

The HelloNation article explains that successful exterior remodeling planning requires looking beyond individual upgrades and focusing on the home as a complete system. Roofing Expert Michael Majeski of Over The Top Roofing in Fulton, New York, is featured as a source of insight, helping illustrate how different exterior components work together to support both appearance and structural performance. The article emphasizes that when homeowners take a comprehensive approach, the final outcome feels more cohesive and intentional.

The article describes how a home’s exterior is made up of interconnected elements, including roofing, siding, trim, windows, and gutters. When these components are updated separately without coordination, the result can appear mismatched or inconsistent. Exterior remodeling planning helps align these elements so that materials, colors, and textures complement each other, improving curb appeal and creating a unified design.

In addition to visual benefits, the HelloNation article notes that coordinated planning enhances functionality. Roofing and siding serve as a combined barrier against weather conditions, especially in regions like Central New York, where homes experience a wide range of seasonal changes. The article explains that proper alignment between these elements helps prevent moisture intrusion and long-term structural issues, making exterior remodeling planning a practical as well as aesthetic decision.

Timing is another important consideration discussed in the article. Roofing Expert Michael Majeski highlights that roofs and siding often age at similar rates. Addressing both at once can help homeowners avoid future disruptions and ensure consistency across materials. The article notes that this approach reduces the likelihood of damaging newly completed work during later upgrades and supports a smoother renovation process overall.

Energy efficiency is also a key benefit of thoughtful exterior remodeling planning. The article explains that modern siding and roofing materials are designed to improve insulation and regulate indoor temperatures. When upgrades are coordinated, they create a more efficient building envelope, helping reduce heating and cooling costs year-round. This integrated approach ensures that each component contributes to overall performance.

The HelloNation article also addresses cost considerations. While completing multiple exterior projects at once may seem more expensive initially, the article notes that combining projects often reduces total costs. Shared labor, equipment, and timelines can streamline the process and minimize disruptions. Exterior remodeling planning allows homeowners to take advantage of these efficiencies while achieving a more consistent result.

Another key takeaway is the importance of detail. The article describes how elements such as flashing, sealing, and material alignment contribute to long-term durability. When these details are handled as part of a coordinated plan, the home’s exterior is better equipped to withstand weather and aging. Roofing Expert insights reinforce that careful planning leads to stronger and longer-lasting outcomes.

Design considerations are also highlighted during the planning process. The article explains that homeowners should choose materials and colors that reflect both their personal style and the home’s architectural character. Viewing samples in natural light and considering how each element interacts with the overall design helps create a balanced and timeless appearance.

The article concludes that exterior remodeling planning is essential for achieving both durability and visual harmony. By treating the home’s exterior as a single system, homeowners can achieve cohesive, efficient, and long-lasting results.

What to Consider Before an Exterior Remodel features insights from Michael Majeski, Roofing Expert of Fulton, New York, in HelloNation.

New app functions empower patients, caregivers and health care professionals to easily find and access Karmanos’ large portfolio of innovative cancer treatment options through actively recruiting clinical trials

DETROIT, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute has released a new and improved version of the KCI Clinical Trials App on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. The apps’ new features, launched on June 12, improve usability, accessibility and alignment with today’s clinical and cancer research workflows throughout Karmanos Cancer Institute. Karmanos’ Clinical Trials Office and research oncology technical support team designed new upgrades to provide a modernized platform to improve how patients, caregivers and health care professionals discover and engage with actively recruiting cancer clinical trials, leading to more informed treatment decisions.

“Updating this innovative application marks a pivotal moment for Karmanos. It reinforces our dedication to pioneering advances in cancer care and to providing our patients with treatment options that have shown promise and improved health outcomes. Karmanos has a unique offering of clinical trials that are not available at many hospitals, so when a patient is diagnosed with cancer, they should consider scheduling a second opinion with us,” said Anthony Shields, M.D., Ph.D., associate center director of Clinical Science at Karmanos.

The app is popular among patients, their families and physicians. There are currently over 160 protocols listed on the portal and app, led by 33 principal investigators at Karmanos across 13 locations, who offer these open trials for over 35 cancer types.

“Our referring physicians are dedicated to making sure their patients truly have the options they deserve for the best success possible. I regularly use the app myself, so I can ensure my patients have the opportunity to decide if they’d like to be on a study that has shown promise, before the therapy is FDA-approved,” added Dr. Shields, who is also a medical oncologist and member of the Gastrointestinal and Neuroendocrine Oncology and Phase I Clinical Trials Multidisciplinary Teams. “Ultimately, when a patient decides to participate in a clinical trial, they aren’t just contributing to a study that will benefit future patients, but they are also giving themselves access to the latest care.”

The app enhancements provide a user-friendly experience designed to make clinical trial information easier to find, understand and share. Improvements include:

• A faster, smarter trial search: Search by cancer type, Karmanos trials number, NCT ID, keywords, phase, investigator, site, drug, device, or therapy, with improved filtering that dynamically adjusts results to reduce dead-end searches.
• A modernized user experience: A refreshed interface with intuitive design elements, improved navigation and streamlined access to external resources and support.
• Contact capability: Connect directly with Karmanos experts for questions about trials or next steps.
• Enhanced drug and external data integration: Enriched drug information powered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Drug Dictionary, including U.S. brand names, along with direct links to clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
• Improved access to trial information: Expanded trial details include eligibility criteria, objectives, treatments, study locations, and investigator information.
• Improved location tools: Study site addresses can be viewed, copied or opened directly in mapping applications for easier navigation.
• Offline capability: Daily data synchronization enables fast, on-device searches with full functionality even in low or non-connectivity environments.
• Opportunities to make an appointment or refer a patient: Patients can request an appointment directly from the clinical trial listing or call Karmanos directly from the app to schedule an appointment. Physicians may also connect with Karmanos through the app to refer a patient.
• The ability to save, share and collaborate: Save favorite trials and searches, and easily share trial information via text or email.

“The new improvements will allow referring physicians and newly diagnosed patients to discover therapies that treat their disease in an easier and faster way. Though the trials we offer at Karmanos are also on clinicaltrials.gov, having a specific tool for just the trials available across the Karmanos Cancer Network gives patients the power to advocate for themselves and gives physicians the knowledge of what’s available for their patients right here in Michigan,” explained Shields.

The KCI Trials App will continue to be available for free on both iOS and Android devices. If the app is already installed on a user’s device and automatic updates are enabled, the new features were applied automatically on June 12. Those who have manual updates set on their device, and those who have yet to download the KCI Trials App, may download the latest version from the app store:

Apple App Store | Google Play Store

A web-based user manual is also available and outlines the new version features.

The KCI Trials App was launched in 2013. The app is powered by the clinical trials study information portal (SIP) at karmanos.org/opentrials and has long supported clinical trial workflows across the institute. Karmanos offers clinical trials to treat multiple stages of cancer, including but not limited to the following cancer types:

• Brain and Nervous System
• Breast
• Cutaneous (Skin and Melanoma)
• Gastrointestinal
• Genitourinary
• Gynecologic
• Head and Neck
• Hematologic (Blood)
• Lung
• Sarcoma

The portal also includes open phase I clinical trials.

First deployment with Sunrise demonstrates a new route for telecom providers to launch subscription-based home security services

GORINCHEM, Netherlands, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telecom operators are increasingly looking beyond connectivity for new sources of recurring revenue and customer loyalty. While demand for Smart Home Security continues to grow, many operators have struggled to launch their own security services because of the significant investment required in technology, service operations and ecosystem integration.

Egardia today announced the commercial launch of its wholesale Smart Home Security platform, enabling telecom providers to introduce branded home security services without developing and operating their own end-to-end security infrastructure. The platform has already been deployed by Swiss telecommunications provider Sunrise, marking the first commercial implementation of Egardia’s international wholesale strategy.

Industry analysts have identified connected home services as one of the fastest-growing categories within telecommunications. However, bringing a professional home security proposition to market typically requires years of development, multiple technology partners and operational expertise extending beyond the traditional telecom domain.

Egardia’s wholesale model is designed to remove those barriers by providing telecom operators with a single platform that supports the delivery of subscription-based Smart Home Security services under their own brand.

“The telecom industry is evolving rapidly,” said Robin Rietveld, Chief Executive Officer of Egardia. “Consumers increasingly expect their telecom provider to deliver more than connectivity. They are looking for trusted digital services that protect and simplify everyday life. Until now, building a professional security proposition required significant investments and specialised expertise. Our wholesale platform enables operators to enter this market much faster while maintaining full ownership of their customer relationship.”

The launch represents a strategic shift for Egardia. Since introducing one of Europe’s first connected DIY alarm systems in 2008 under the WoonVeilig brand, the company has evolved from a consumer-focused security provider into a technology partner for telecommunications companies.

BEIJING, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from China Daily

Numerous exquisite bronze and other items from the earliest recorded time of Chinese civilization are testament to a widely spreading kingship of China’s Central Plains, as well as China’s oldest-known writing system and multiple historical legends, and have provided significant illumination for modern Chinese archaeology since the 1920s.

The Yinxu Ruins in Anyang, Henan province, which one expert described as the “brightest star” of Chinese archaeology, connect the early stage of China as a nation around 3,300 years ago to the modern age, and have mesmerized not only professionals, but also the Chinese general public, inspiring them to trace their literary roots.

Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the Yinxu Ruins being inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As the site celebrates this milestone anniversary, one of the most eye-catching attractions at the Yinxu Museum is something playful: a hair-drying cap shaped like an adorable owl.

Since its debut in 2024, the hair-drying cap has been a hit among tourists flocking to the museum. Featuring a lively, big-eyed owl look and strong practical value for daily use, it draws inspiration from an owl-shaped wine vessel unearthed from the tomb at Yinxu of Fu Hao, China’s first-known female general and a consort of the Shang Dynasty (c.16th century-11th century BC) king Wu Ding.

Zhao Qingrong, director of the museum, said that when museum visitors wear available replica caps or clothing with elements of the Shang Dynasty, “they are no longer something strange in your textbooks. Your taste buds and skin have a real interaction with them, which lingers better than a mere glance at exhibit cabinets”.

“In this way, we transfer the obscure archaeological knowledge into an accessible aesthetic experience, so that people can connect with the Yinxu Ruins in their daily lives and thus develop an emotional bond with that remote era,” she added.

The Yinxu Ruins, at the site of an ancient capital of the late Shang Dynasty, have yielded numerous exquisite bronze vessels as well as oracle bones, which bear inscriptions known as jiaguwen that are carved on animal bones to record events and for fortune-telling, and constitute the earliest-known formal writing system in China.

The preservation and popularity of such products are no accident. Over the past two decades, sustained top-level guidance and cultural protection efforts have laid a solid foundation for the innovative inheritance of Shang civilization.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has shown great concern for the preservation of cultural relics and made important instructions for work in this regard.

Xi visited the Yinxu Ruins and Yinxu Museum in 2022, during which he said: “I have long been yearning for visiting here. This time I come here for a deeper study and understanding of the Chinese civilization so that we can make the past serve the present, and draw inspirations for better building the modern Chinese civilization.”

He noted that fine traditional Chinese culture is the root of the Party’s new theories. The ultimate approach of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times is to integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture.

Xi also pointed out that the jiaguwen inscriptions preserved the evidence of the Chinese written language of 3,000 years ago, helping to place the beginning of China’s recorded history nearly 1,000 years earlier than previously believed.

This was not the first time he highlighted the importance of jiaguwen. In 2019, Xi sent a congratulatory letter on the 120th anniversary of the discovery of the oracle bone inscriptions, describing them as the roots of fine traditional Chinese culture and saying that the discovery is of epoch-making significance to Chinese civilization and even human civilization.

Li Xiaoyang, head of Anyang’s cultural heritage bureau, said Xi’s words fully reflect the important role of jiaguwen.

“The discovery of oracle bones in the late 19th century came at a time of cultural crisis, yet it miraculously restored Chinese people’s confidence in their ancient civilization,” Li said.

He also said that 15 archaeological excavations carried out entirely by Chinese scholars at the Yinxu Ruins from 1928 to 1937 confirmed the site to be a late capital of the Shang Dynasty, making the site a sacred place in Chinese archaeology. Prior to the Yinxu findings, the earliest period in Chinese history supported by existing written records was traced to inscribed bamboo slips from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC).

“Therefore, this discovery pushed China’s reliable written history back to the late Shang period, extending the timeline of documented Chinese history by about 1,000 years,” said Li.

Based on that, the Yinxu Ruins became the starting point for tracing Chinese civilization.

During his Anyang visit in 2022, Xi called for attaching more importance to and putting more efforts into archaeological research to carry forward the project of tracing the origins of Chinese civilization.

Over the past decades, archaeologists have gradually built a chronological framework of the Shang Dynasty and even earlier, starting from Yinxu.

“Knowing Yinxu as the last Shang capital, we have then traced earlier periods through archaeological work. In the 1950s, archaeologists found another capital site in Zhengzhou, Henan, which was identified to be an early Shang capital based on typological comparisons of pottery vessels. Then, in 1999, they discovered another city to the north of the Huanhe River, and most scholars believe it was a capital for the middle Shang period,” said Li.

“In this way, we have generally made clear the early, middle and late Shang periods’ capitals, and all the research started from the Yinxu Ruins,” he added.

In the 1950s, scholars discovered another large site in Luoyang, Henan, which yielded remains from both the early Shang period and an even earlier time than that. After careful analysis, they believe the site, now known as Erlitou, is a late Xia Dynasty (c.21st century-16th century BC) capital.

“As the starting point and a chronological reference framework, Yinxu has enabled us to trace back our civilization continuously,” said Zhao.

Colorful progress

The 20-year World Heritage journey of Yinxu embodies the “two combinations” that Xi highlighted — integrating Marxism with China’s specific realities as well as its fine traditional culture.

“As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Yinxu’s World Heritage listing this year, the important guidance that Xi delivered has become the core guideline for all work related to the site’s protection, research and popularization,” Zhao said.

For example, a project featuring the digital preservation of Chinese inscribed oracle bones worldwide is currently underway in Anyang. “As organic artifacts, oracle bones can be weathered, cracked or totally destroyed in the long run. Therefore, we need to record their information as quickly as possible,” said Li.

To date, professionals have digitally collected about 1,500 pieces, among which 900 come from overseas museums. The workload is enormous, Li said, adding that more than 160,000 oracle bones in total have been unearthed in China, many of them now scattered across multiple countries, so the work cannot be finished anytime soon.

Li Jing, director of the Anyang Museum, said Yinxu culture is deeply integrated into Anyang’s city life.

Visitors arriving at Anyang East Railway Station are immediately greeted by the station’s name in jiaguwen, a visual reminder that Yinxu serves as the city’s cultural calling card, she said.

In addition, specialized jiaguwen primary schools have been established to integrate the ancient script into education, while the museum itself regularly organizes activities introducing students to the history and significance of these early characters.

In addition, archaeological efforts continue to reshape people’s understanding of the Shang period.

“Yinxu is the archaeological site in China with the longest continuous excavation history, the earliest excavation time, the largest revealed area, and the greatest number of unearthed artifacts,” said Li Xiaoyang, the head of Anyang’s cultural heritage bureau.”But the more we discover, the more we find we are still ignorant of.”

He added that “the site is welcoming its centenary anniversary of excavation in 2028. In the next century, it may meet more challenges but also generate more progress. It remains the brightest star in Chinese archaeology”.

CHAI is currently in the Apple App Store Review Process – founder and CEO William Beauchamp has stated he believes their latest version of the app to be the safest version they have ever released yet, with significant and meaningful improvements to safety.

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CHAI is currently in the Apple App Store Review Process – founder and CEO William Beauchamp has stated he believes their latest version of the app to be the safest version they have ever released yet, with significant and meaningful improvements to safety.

Millions of people enjoy CHAI every day and have used the platform to create and share AI for over 5 years. In that time CHAI has grown from a small team based in Cambridge, UK to a company in Palo Alto, California with over $100M a year in revenue.

CHAI AI still operates a small team of around 15 members. We have been given the first exclusive look into the safest version they have released yet.

This small team has been hard at work, especially so in recent weeks and months, employing the latest industry standard AI safety techniques. “We have been working towards a holistic safety system which achieves two things: to delight our customers, and to protect the long-term wellbeing of both our customers and the community.”

I asked Mr. Beauchamp about some of the major challenges presented by the second goal, “One is ensuring UGC moderation, we cannot allow any single user to produce content which spoils the experience for others. Another is model and algorithmic safety. Every safety iteration cycle starts with red teaming, where team members actively probe the safety system as it exists in production, to see whether they can bypass it. This sort of testing is used by AI researchers around the world. Only by putting yourself in the shoes of someone trying to push the limits of the system can you find where those limits are, and effectively reinforce them.”

So, what were the outcomes of the team’s latest safety iteration cycle? “This cycle the team held nothing back. All of us were in the office from 9am-9pm on a Saturday to get this shipped as fast as possible. Through dedication and hard work the team were able to achieve a lot. We introduced an entirely new AI governance system, shipped in record time. Not only is this system a complete upgrade of our existing protocols and safeguards, but it also provides new tools for team members to increase the amount of human oversight in the system. We believe we have substantially raised the bar for our social AI, preventing misuse, and ensuring it will continue to adhere strongly to moral and ethical social values.”

At CHAI AI the guiding principle in both product development, platform and AI governance, can be summarized by this vision written by Stanford Professor and CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li:

“It matters what motivates the development of AI, in both science and industry, and I believe that motivation must explicitly center on human benefit.” From The Worlds I See by Dr. Fei-Fei Li

With great power comes great responsibility, as CHAI AI knows well. As their user base grew from the hundreds, to hundreds of thousands, to millions, their responsibility has grown too. Therefore, their principle has long been to put human benefit at the center of their AI research and product development approaches.

Is CHAI AI safe? CHAI has implemented a range of safety features that allow users to engage in dynamic chats while encouraging them to stay within established guidelines. By building better AI, CHAI aims to enhance user value and experience.

What makes CHAI special? CHAI is designed to be the most engaging social AI, delivering highly entertaining conversations. Users on CHAI are able to craft interactive stories and immersive experiences.

Why do people love CHAI? CHAI employs and develops advanced AI techniques to increase the entertainment value of its bots. Users chat with AI to write interactive novels and have engaging conversations, supported by a variety of genres that appeal to avid novel readers.

Who is the founder? William Beauchamp first started building CHAI with his sister in Cambridge UK in 2020. After building the first AI chat platform they relocated to Palo Alto.

Are they hiring? CHAI is a rapidly growing company that is known for paying very high salaries with an intense culture focused on delivering results and iterating quickly. Apply on CHAI’s website.

Real-world data from 141 Medicare patients shows significant gains in cognitive function and quality of life through a highly accessible delivery model designed to reach rural neurology deserts

LONDON, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moneta Health, a brain health company delivering cognitive rehabilitation therapy it describes as physical therapy for the brain, today announced results from a new outcomes study of its telephone-based program during the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC). The study, conducted with researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, analyzed real-world outcomes for 141 older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early-stage dementia treated under Medicare reimbursement.

Just as physical therapy rebuilds strength and mobility, cognitive rehabilitation strengthens memory and daily functioning. Yet fewer than 20% of patients access this treatment in an outpatient setting, and far fewer in rural areas.

Moneta removes the most common barriers to care. Each week patients receive treatment with a licensed speech therapist by phone and complete personalized cognitive exercises between sessions with Mona, Moneta’s voice AI therapy assistant. No app, smartphone, or internet connection is required.

Patients improved significantly across all four clinical outcome measures, spanning patient-reported quality of life and therapist-rated cognition, language comprehension, and expressive language. Improvements on all three therapist-rated measures met or exceeded national benchmarks for in-person outpatient care from the ASHA National Outcomes Measurement System. Across measures, 71 to 94 percent of patients improved. The full manuscript will be available on Moneta’s website later this week.

“Cognitive impairment affects one in three adults over 65, and too many families are told that nothing can be done,” noted Paul A. Campbell, co-founder and CEO of Moneta Health. “This data says otherwise. If you can answer the phone, you can get physical therapy for the brain. That’s how we close the care gap in neurology deserts.”

Moneta is available and covered by many insurance payers in Florida, Montana, Nevada, Washington, and West Virginia.

About Moneta Health

Moneta Health is a brain health company backed by Health2047 (the American Medical Association’s venture studio), True Ventures, Impact America Fund, BKR Capital, Bright Ventures and the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI). Moneta, named after the Roman goddess of memory, was co-founded by Paul A. Campbell and Jen Flexman. Learn more at www.moneta.health.

Multiple pathways to value-add caesium chemicals identified during bench-scale extraction testwork at SGS Lakefield and through Koch Technology Solutions Phase 1 program

MONTREAL, July 12, 2026  /PRNewswire/ – July 13, 2026 – Sydney, Australia

Highlights

SGS Canada Caesium Extraction Test Program

• Leaching of pollucite concentrate using sulphuric acid was highly successful with >97% recovery of the caesium (Cs) into solution achieved.
• Bench-scale testwork on impurity removal was also successful, demonstrating efficient removal of key impurities such as aluminum.
• Opportunity identified to potentially recover a rubidium by-product.
• Primary objective of program was fully realized – that being to identify a preliminary set of conditions to extract caesium from pollucite concentrate (produced from the Vega Zone) at high recovery while characterizing (and limiting) the impurity profile.
• Next steps will build upon this extraction phase of work with a primary objective to produce gram quantities of high-purity Cs-sulphate, Cs-carbonate, Cs-formate, and potentially Rb-carbonate.

Koch Technology Solutions Caesium Extraction Test Program

• PMET is working with Koch Technology Solutions, part of Koch Inc., evaluating advanced processing pathways to value-added caesium products.
• Preliminary results from Phase 1 indicate both synthetic and live Pregnant Leaching Solution yield very selective high loading factors of caesium recovery using Koch’s proprietary flow sheet.

PMET Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “PMET”) (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to provide an update on two parallel bench-scale testwork programs focused on caesium (Cs) extraction from pollucite samples from the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project. Both approaches – conventional by SGS Canada, and proprietary by Koch Technology Solutions – offer attractive process routes for caesium extraction from pollucite concentrate into marketable chemical products. The Company is motivated to consider caesium value-added chemical production (with key partners) to unlock maximum value from its globally significant caesium resource and its pollucite concentrates produced at site.

In addition to being one of the largest lithium-tantalum pegmatite Mineral Resources[1] and lithium pegmatite Mineral Reserves[2] globally, the Property also hosts the world’s largest in-situ pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite Mineral Resource, comprising 0.69 Mt at 4.40% Cs₂O (Indicated) and 1.70 Mt at 2.40% Cs₂O (Inferred). The CV13 Pegmatite, host to the caesium Mineral Resource, is located <3 km along trend from the CV5 Pegmatite, which is situated approximately 13 km south of the regional Trans-Taiga Road and powerline infrastructure corridor, and is accessible year-round by road.

The pollucite concentrate used as feed for both extraction testwork programs (Figure 1, top) was produced by X-Ray Transmission (XRT) ore sorting of drill core material from the Vega Caesium Zone at the CV13 Pegmatite (see news release dated October 9, 2025) and assayed 12% Cs₂O (Figure 2).

SGS Canada Caesium Extraction Testwork Program

At SGS Lakefield, a conventual process approach (Figure 1, bottom) for caesium extraction from pollucite concentrate is being advanced using sulphuric acid digestion (H₂SO₄) and subsequent impurity removal. The primary objective of this initial bench-scale test program is to identify a preliminary set of conditions to extract caesium at high recovery while characterizing (and limiting) the impurity profile.

The pollucite concentrate sample (~15 kg) was ground to varying sizes (P₈₀ of 75 µm to 212 µm) and a portion (<4 kg) subjected to sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) leaching at varying temperatures (up to 120°C). The program was highly successful with the testwork achieving consistently high extractions of 97-98% Cs while maintaining significantly lower extractions of key impurities (e.g., Al). Further, subsequent impurity tests successfully removed the remaining aluminum (Al) and a majority of the sulphur (S) with negligible caesium (Cs) losses.

Additionally, the program also identified a potential opportunity to recover a rubidium by-product from one of the waste streams. Further characterization of this opportunity was not undertaken during this initial bench-scale caesium extraction test phase and will be investigated as a secondary objective in future work.

The testwork was completed at SGS Canada’s Lakefield, Ontario, facility with support from Primero Group Americas and a Company-retained Subject Matter Expert (“SME”) specializing in caesium extraction and recovery from pollucite. These three parties, in addition to TOMRA Mining, are also key contributors to the design and execution of the Company’s ore sorting programs.

Figure 1: Simplified conceptual flowsheet for conventional processing of pollucite pegmatite through to pollucite concentrate (top) and from pollucite concentrate to final marketable caesium salts/brine (bottom). The bench-scale testwork carried out by SGS Canada is focused on the caesium extraction and impurity removal steps. The stated >97% Cs recovery is with respect to the pollucite concentrate feed through to initial impurity removal. 

Figure 2: Pollucite concentrate (~12% Cs2O) produced from prior XRT ore sorting program (see news release dated October 9, 2025), of which a portion was used as feed for the bench-scale caesium extraction and recovery program at SGS Canada and Koch Technology Solutions discussed herein. 

Next steps will build upon this bench-scale testwork with a primary “proof-of-concept” objective to produce gram quantity samples of high-purity Cs-sulphate, Cs-carbonate, Cs-formate, and potentially Rb-carbonate. This test program is currently underway at SGS Canada’s facility in Lakefield, Ontario, with results expected circa Q4 2026. 

Koch Technology Solutions Caesium Extraction Testwork Program

The testwork program with Koch Technology Solutions (“KTS”) has been developed as part of a strategic relationship that has evolved following the Company’s investigations of the caesium industry, commercial engagement, and research. The program will leverage KTS’s demonstrated capabilities in engineering, development and commercialization of critical minerals extraction technologies to produce a range of value-added caesium chemical compounds.

The bench-scale test program being advanced by KTS is designed to assess the application of their proprietary flowsheet technology, to produce a range of value-added caesium chemical compounds. Approximately 6 kg of pollucite concentrate is being used to support the testwork.

Preliminary results from Phase 1 of the program indicate a strong and selective caesium recovery. The testwork will now move onto Phase 2 and the Company anticipates expanding the mandate to produce gram quantities of caesium derivative products as a complete bench-scale proof-of-concept.

Study Work Underway

A Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the broader Project, incorporating lithium, caesium, and tantalum, is scheduled for completion in Q4 2026. The PEA will complement the Feasibility Study for the CV5 Pegmatite (lithium and tantalum), which is also scheduled for completion in Q4 2026, and will provide the first economic assessment of the Project’s caesium potential.

21-Year-Old Jordan Williams from Bristol, United Kingdom, Claims His Second Consecutive Elite Men’s Downhill Victory; 22-Year-Old Ryan Pinkerton from Aliso Viejo, California, United States, Earns His First Elite World Cup Podium with a Third-Place Finish

PAL ARINSAL, Andorra, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Monster Energy, main partner of the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series, continued its winning season at Round 6 in Pal Arinsal, Andorra. Jordan Williams claimed his second consecutive Elite Men’s Downhill victory with a commanding run on the high-speed Andorran course, while Ryan Pinkerton earned his first Elite World Cup podium with a third-place finish.

From July 10–12, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series returned to Pal Arinsal for the sixth round of the 2026 season. The demanding downhill course challenged riders with high speeds, rough terrain, and heavily eroded sections, requiring complete focus from start to finish.

The headline result came in the Elite Men’s Downhill final, where 21-year-old Williams from Bristol, United Kingdom, delivered another dominant performance just seven days after winning Round 5 in La Thuile, Italy. Williams charged through the lower sections of the course and stopped the clock in 2:41.666, finishing 2.331 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor to secure back-to-back World Cup victories.

“This is crazy; it’s totally insane!” Williams said when asked about earning consecutive victories in La Thuile and Andorra. “I really don’t know what to say. I just can’t thank my team enough. I knew the first two splits were going to be tough considering I rode them slow all weekend long, so I made sure to charge hard out of the gate and just held on as hard as I could towards the bottom. The track has been wild and so chewed up that you had to be laser-focused to make it through. I don’t know how I pulled such a gap on everyone. Almost two and a half seconds is a long time on this track. Thank you, everyone, for the support this weekend! I’m so stoked. I can’t believe it!”

The Andorra result marked Williams’ third Elite World Cup victory and his second win in consecutive weekends.

Monster Energy’s Pinkerton completed the podium with a breakthrough performance in third place. The 22-year-old from Aliso Viejo, California, United States, crossed the finish line in 2:44.166 to earn his first Elite World Cup podium.

“This feels just so good,” Pinkerton said. “I feel like I haven’t pushed hard enough this season in finals, trying to keep it safe, but today I went for it. I felt really good all weekend long, and I do love this track! I had my first Junior win here and now my first Elite podium. So stoked on that! The team has been working so hard this season, and this is a great way to pay them back for all their hard work.”

Williams now leads the overall series standings. Monster Energy’s Amaury Pierron had been leading the overall series standings heading into this round, but a heavy crash took him out of contention for the win, dropping him to 27^th place and fourth in the overall series standings. Pinkerton sits in fifth, Troy Brosnan in sixth, Loris Vergier in eighth, Luca Shaw in ninth, and Till Alran in 10^th place overall. In the Women’s Elite downhill, Lisa Baumann held on to her second-place position in the overall series, and Marine Cabirou sits in ninth place overall.

Stay tuned when the 2026 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series season continues at Haute-Savoie, France, from Aug 20–23, 2026.

HDT Bio Canada Inc. partners with McGill University and The Neuro to advance HDT-401, an investigational locally administered RNA immune activator, into Phase 1 clinical evaluation for glioblastoma in Canada

MONTREAL and SEATTLE, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Among the deadliest of brain cancers, glioblastoma kills virtually everyone diagnosed, and usually within 15 months. Decades of research have produced virtually no improvement. No approved immunotherapy has ever demonstrated a survival benefit.

That may be about to change. HDT Bio Corp. has announced the establishment of HDT Bio Canada Inc., its Canadian subsidiary, formed to advance its cancer immunotherapy programs through Canadian clinical development, Canadian manufacturing, and Canadian regulatory pathways. The company has partnered with McGill University and The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) for the clinical development of HDT-401, its investigational locally administered immune activator for glioblastoma.

HDT-401 has already been administered to glioblastoma patients under compassionate use protocols. The results were encouraging enough to inform and shape the design of a formal Phase 1 clinical trial. HDT Bio Canada has completed a pre-Clinical Trial Application meeting with Health Canada, a required regulatory step on the path to trial initiation and has received constructive feedback that advances the program toward CTA submission.

The planned Phase 1 study will be conducted in collaboration with Roberto Diaz, MD, PhD of The Neuro of McGill University at, along with clinical and scientific experts across McGill-affiliated institutions in Montreal. “When you operate on these patients, you understand the problem in a way that is difficult to convey. You resect what you can. You know what remains. And you know the current tools are not enough,” said Dr. Diaz. “This program is about changing that.”

HDT-401 combines Riboxxim, a precisely engineered molecule licensed from Riboxx GmbH of Dresden, Germany, with HDT Bio’s proprietary LION™ nucleic acid delivery platform. The LION™ platform has been evaluated in more than 6,000 patients across multiple clinical programs, providing an extensive foundation of clinical experience.

“Glioblastoma patients have waited decades for something new,” said Steven Reed, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of HDT Bio Corp. “We have treated patients with HDT-401 under compassionate use. What we observed was encouraging. That is why we are moving as fast as we can to get this into a formal trial in Canada, with one of the world’s great brain cancer research teams. Our commitment to Canada is significant. We are developing products here, working through Canadian regulatory pathways, and supporting Canadian manufacturing capability. Canadian patients and Canadian science are at the center of this program.”

HDT-401 is designed to activate innate immune sensing directly within the tumor bed, converting the glioblastoma microenvironment from immune-suppressed to immune-engaged. The approach is intended to induce inflammatory cytokines, recruit immune effector cells, and support local immune recognition of tumor tissue. Local administration into the tumor or surgical cavity concentrates immune activation at the site of disease while limiting systemic exposure.

“Riboxxim was engineered to solve a problem that earlier TLR3 agonist technologies have never fully addressed: precise, reproducible immune activation without the unpredictability that limited clinical developments and market access. HDT Bio’s approach of delivering Riboxxim is scientifically compelling because it concentrates immune activation exactly where it is needed most,” said Prof. Dr. Jacques Rohayem, CEO of Riboxx and the inventor of Riboxxim. “The formulation expertise at HDT Bio has contributed an important step in enabling Riboxxim to become a product that can have a major impact on the treatment of glioblastoma and other cancers. I am pleased to see it advancing to the clinic.”

“Glioblastoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat because recurrence is common and the tumor environment actively suppresses immune activity,” said Roberto Diaz, MD, PhD of McGill University. “These are real patients with no good options. The tumor’s ability to suppress immune activity locally is one of the central reasons it has resisted every treatment we have thrown at it. An approach that targets that immunosuppressive environment directly, at the tumor bed, is where the science points. That is why I am committed to this program.”

HDT Bio is also advancing a breast cancer vaccine program in Canada, reflecting the company’s broader commitment to Canadian patients and Canadian clinical infrastructure. For that program, the company has engaged Northern RNA Inc. of Calgary as its Canadian GMP manufacturing partner. Northern RNA is a world-class nucleic acid contract manufacturer.

“This is exactly the kind of program Northern RNA was built to support,” said Jared Davis, President and CEO of Northern RNA Inc. “Canadian patients with glioblastoma deserve access to the most innovative treatments being developed anywhere in the world. Manufacturing in Canada, for Canadian patients, with a Canadian clinical partner, is how we help make that happen. We are proud to be part of HDT Bio’s Canadian commitment.”

About Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults. The five-year survival rate is below 5 percent. Standard treatment includes maximal safe surgical resection, radiation therapy, and temozolomide chemotherapy, but recurrence is common and survival remains limited. No approved immunotherapy has demonstrated a survival benefit in glioblastoma to date. Despite its devastating prognosis, glioblastoma receives significantly less research funding than other cancers of comparable lethality, leaving patients with few meaningful treatment advances and an urgent need for innovative clinical approaches. The glioblastoma treatment market exceeds $3 billion annually and is projected to reach $4.46 billion by 2030, underscoring both the scale of the disease burden and the commercial opportunity for effective new therapies.

About HDT-401 HDT-401 is an investigational immune activator designed for local administration into the tumor or surgical cavity. It combines Riboxxim, a precisely engineered TLR3/RIG-I agonist licensed from Riboxx GmbH, with HDT Bio’s proprietary LION™ lipid delivery platform. HDT-401 is intended to stimulate innate immune pathways, promote inflammatory signaling in the tumor microenvironment, and recruit immune cells to support anti-tumor activity. HDT-401 has not been approved by Health Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or any other regulatory authority.

About HDT Bio Corp. HDT Bio Corp. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation RNA and immune-activation technologies for oncology and infectious disease. The company’s platforms are designed to enable targeted immune responses across multiple therapeutic areas, including solid tumors and cancer vaccines. The company’s LION™ nucleic acid delivery platform has been evaluated in more than 6,000 patients across multiple clinical programs. HDT Bio Corp. is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement regarding the passing of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) last night:

“Lindsey Graham was a true leader. Lindsey did the hard, often unseen work of accomplishing what has lasting value.

“Lindsey Graham was not just a vote; he was a voice, a voice for the defenseless. He used his influence to advance the cause of life. When others grew quiet, Lindsey stepped forward and gave his colleagues a way to speak – clearly, courageously, and compassionately about the dignity of every human life.

“He was also a consistent advocate for persecuted Christians around the world, those who suffer simply because they refuse to deny their faith.

“He saw the global landscape the way a chess master sees the board, thinking several moves ahead. He remained steady, because he knew what is at stake–not just for us, but for our children and grandchildren. That is moral courage. And that same conviction was seen in his steadfast support for the State of Israel.

“He used his voice, and his influence, not for himself, but to protect and advance faith, family, and freedom. Lindsey Graham delivered on all three.

“I offer my deepest condolences — and my deepest gratitude — to the Graham family. America could use more leaders like Lindsey Graham who embodied moral courage: doing what is right for others, even when it may cost you personally,” concluded Perkins.

Postal Service honors the limitless possibilities of beloved doll

AUSTIN, Texas, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Postal Service honored the possibilities and hope of Mattel’s Inc.’s iconic Barbie^® — played with, enjoyed and collected by countless fans of all ages — with a new series of 10 collectible stamps and introduced to some of the doll’s most loyal fans at the annual National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Austin, TX, today.

“The original Barbie stamp has been one of our most memorable and beloved stamps, with appeal felt by Barbie fans young and old,” said Lisa Bobb-Semple, the Postal Service’s director of stamp services. “As much as our customers loved that stamp, we wanted to feature a selection of the modern careers depicted across the decades during which Barbie has become the best-selling doll of all time.”

Created by Mattel Inc., a global play and family entertainment company, and introduced in 1959 as “The Original Teenage Fashion Model,” Barbie quickly evolved into much more, becoming a symbol of limitless possibilities for generations of children. With an ever-expanding resume that now represents more than 250 careers and counting, Mattel’s introduction of Barbie was groundbreaking and came to represent a modern view of womanhood in the mid-20th century. The new stamps pay tribute to the world’s best-selling doll and its legacy of endless possibility, creativity and empowerment during the last 65-plus years.

Top Row:

In 1961, Barbie stepped into an early professional role as a registered nurse. The blond Barbie wears a white cotton nurse’s uniform with a graduate nurse’s cap, a blue cape and era-appropriate “cat-eye” glasses.

Barbie became a surgeon in 1973. The Malibu Barbie on the stamp is equipped with a stethoscope and is garbed in light blue scrubs and mask, with blond hair peeking out from underneath a surgical cap.

Two decades after Barbie first went to space, this 1986 astronaut suited up in a very ’80s broad-shouldered spacesuit in hot pink and silver lamé, with a bubble-helmet worn over dark brunette hair.

Firefighter Barbie arrived on the scene in 1995. The doll’s turnout gear consists of yellow helmet, jacket, pants and a white “Barbie Fire Rescue 1” T-shirt. A red ribbon secures a blond ponytail.

In the ’90s, dinosaurs loomed large in every way. This brunette paleontologist Barbie, introduced in 1996, is equipped for exploration with bucket hat, field bag, belted khaki shorts, dinosaur shirt, and pink earrings and kerchief.

Bottom row:

Signing “I love you,” this sign language teacher Barbie has blond hair and wears a light blue sweater, plaid skirt and a beaded necklace. American Sign Language teaching materials were included in the playset, introduced in 2000.

For the 2018 Barbie Career of the Year playset, Barbie is a robotics engineer with goggles, a laptop computer and a tiny toy robot. With dark brown hair in a trendy updo, Barbie wears a faded jean jacket, black jeans and a T-shirt with a circuitry pattern.

As a judge, the 2019 Barbie Career of the Year doll has a gavel to call the courtroom to order and make important decisions. Wearing traditional black judicial robes and a lacy jabot, this dark-haired Barbie stands for justice.

Ready to score as a soccer player, Barbie is kitted up in green-trimmed white shorts and a flashy, red-striped, green jersey emblazoned with a team patch and the number 16. Released in 2022, this brown-haired doll — hair pulled back into a sporty ponytail — wears a red headband and carries a black and white soccer ball.

As part of the 2025 Barbie Career of the Year Women in Music set, the musical artist Barbie rocks a sky-blue guitar and a bright pink-sparkle dress and shawl, with high-volume dark curls highlighted in pink and purple.

The pane and stamps were designed by Ethel Kessler, a USPS art director, in collaboration with Mattel, using photography from Mattel. Near the top left of the selvage, the issuance title “Barbie” appears in white in the brand’s famous logo script, against a field of “Barbie Pink.” Underneath the title, a paragraph of explanatory text is printed in white. To the right of the text are the two rows of five stamps each, which are in a vertical design format, noticeably taller than standard commemorative stamps. At the bottom of the selvage is a narrow stripe of pale pink atop a wider blue stripe, which contains the phrase “You can be anything” printed in white.

The Barbie stamps are issued as Forever stamps and will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. News of the Barbie stamps is being shared with the hashtag #BarbieStamps.

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Press Club President Mark Schoeff Jr. released the following statement:

“The Justice Department’s decision to subpoena journalists at The New York Times should alarm every American because it threatens the public’s constitutional right to an independent press.

The National Press Club calls on the Justice Department to immediately withdraw these subpoenas and reaffirm a principle that has long distinguished the United States: a free and independent press serves the people, not the government.

Every American should understand what is at stake. When federal agents arrive at the homes of journalists with subpoenas, it is not ordinary law enforcement. It is an extraordinary assault on the freedom of the press that strikes at the heart of the First Amendment.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to an independent press. When the government turns its investigative powers on journalists, it weakens one of the nation’s strongest checks on those who hold power.

The greatest danger isn’t the subpoena itself. It’s the message it sends. It tells sources to stay silent. It tells whistleblowers to think twice. And it leaves the American people knowing less about the government that serves them.

A government confident in its actions should never fear independent scrutiny. A free press exists to ask difficult questions, uncover uncomfortable facts and inform the American people. The Constitution protects that work because a democracy cannot hold power accountable without an independent press.”

About the National Press Club

Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists. With 2,500 members, the Club is a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.

FORMER ELITE SOCCER PLAYERS SHOW

EVIDENCE OF BRAIN HEALTH CHANGES IN MID-LIFE

Key Takeaways

• New research provides insights into brain health among former elite professional soccer players during midlife.
• Former players reported high levels of depression, anxiety, and subjective difficulties with thinking and decision-making.
• Researchers found brain differences that warrant further study. The findings highlight the need for long-term monitoring and further research into the effects of repetitive head impacts in sports.
• Additional studies presented at AAIC 2026 link greater heading exposure and longer soccer careers with biomarkers of neural injury, tau accumulation and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) risk.

LONDON, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A new study of former elite soccer players provides important insights into brain health and player-reported neurological symptoms compared to people without a history of repetitive head impacts, according to the first and largest study of its kind in retired professional soccer players, presented today at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference^® (AAIC^®) 2026 in London and online.

The former players reported higher levels of depression and anxiety and had subjective difficulties with thinking and decision-making skills. MRI scans identified differences in brain structure between some former players and a comparison group of healthy people with no history of contact sports or head injuries. The findings add to a growing body of research, including additional studies reported at AAIC 2026, exploring how soccer play may influence brain health over time.

“These findings suggest there may be measurable effects on brain health in former elite soccer players even in mid-life, before clinically apparent neurodegenerative disease would typically emerge,” said Caleigh Grace Lynch, M.Sc., lead author of the study and a research technician at Imperial College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute Centre for Care Research & Technology. “While we did not find significant differences in objective cognitive testing between the groups, we did observe important differences in symptoms and brain structure.”

“Research like this helps us better understand brain health factors across the lifespan and reinforces the importance of injury prevention and monitoring,” said Maria C. Carrillo, Ph.D., Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer and medical affairs lead. “These findings can help players, physicians and sports organizations better understand the risks of contact sports and how to participate safely.”

The study included 142 former professional soccer players, ages 30-60: 126 males who held a full-time professional contract for a minimum of three years, and 16 females who competed at the top two tiers of the women’s professional game in the UK. They were compared to a control group of 56 healthy people (43 male) of the same age who have not played contact sports, served in the military and had no history of repetitive head impacts, concussion or other neurological issues.                            

Interim analyses of this dataset revealed that former elite professional soccer players reported significantly higher symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as worse self-rated ability to plan, focus on and solve problems and manage daily tasks, compared to the control group. Nearly one-third of former players (31%) scored in the range indicating clinically significant depression symptoms, compared with 9% of controls, while 42% scored in the range indicating clinically significant anxiety symptoms, compared with 25% of controls.

Brain imaging of 124 former players revealed lower gray matter volume in several brain regions, including frontal, cingulate and thalamic areas that play important roles in memory, attention, decision-making and emotional regulation, compared to controls. At the group level, there was evidence of reduced brain volume in footballers compared with controls. Researchers report clinical review of the scans by a neuroradiologist found that a small proportion of the scans (~2%) had clinically significant atrophy suggestive of neurodegeneration. Further investigation is required to fully understand this result.

Researchers said the combination of elevated symptoms and altered brain volume patterns may suggest trauma-related neurodegeneration, but more research is needed to definitively prove this. Future work is planned to further investigate these findings, including the use of an expanded dataset, integration of additional biomarkers such as advanced diffusion imaging and blood-based biomarkers of neurodegeneration, and longitudinal follow-up.

“By following participants over time, we hope to better understand how repetitive head impacts may influence long-term brain health and neurodegenerative disease, and help inform strategies to make sports safer for future generations,” said Thomas D. Parker, B.M., B.M.Ch., M.R.C.P., Ph.D., senior author of the study and clinical lecturer and consultant neurologist at Imperial College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute Centre for Care Research & Technology.

The study is part of the Advanced BRAIN Health Clinic Research Programme based at the Institute of Sport, Exercise & Health, an integrated clinical care and research initiative investigating the long-term effects of repetitive head impacts in retired elite soccer and rugby players.

The Alzheimer’s Association offers guidance on brain health and brain injury risk reduction. One of its 10 Healthy Habits for Your Brain is “Protect your head: Help prevent an injury to your head. Wear a helmet for activities like biking and wear a seatbelt. Protect yourself while playing sports. Do what you can to prevent falls, especially for older adults.”

As a U.S. Centers for Disease Control Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Risk Reduction, the Alzheimer’s Association is committed to making brain health a central part of public health. The Alzheimer’s Association leads the way in raising awareness about brain health through initiatives that cover the entire spectrum of public health engagement, including the recently launched Brain Health Advancement Institute, a destination for researchers, health care professionals, public health practitioners and policymakers working to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia across all communities.

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As of midnight on June 10th, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law, enacting one of the most significant federal housing packages in decades and marking a major shift toward policies designed to increase housing supply, expand attainable homeownership, and remove barriers to building lower-cost homes.

The legislation includes 45 housing provisions that modernize federal housing policy, improve access to financing, strengthen manufactured and modular housing, and make it easier for homeowners, builders, and communities to add new housing.

Among those reforms are landmark changes to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) financing that Casita Coalition helped shape over the past year alongside congressional leaders, lenders, housing practitioners, and national partners.

“Housing affordability begins with housing supply,” said Noerena Limón, CEO of Casita Coalition. “For decades, our housing policies have made it harder to build homes than it needed to be. This law reflects a growing bipartisan recognition that we cannot solve America’s affordability crisis unless we make it easier for homeowners and communities to create more housing.”

Unlike many federal housing bills that focus primarily on subsidizing demand, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act focuses on expanding supply by addressing barriers that have prevented lower-cost housing options—including ADUs, manufactured homes, modular housing, starter homes, and other forms of middle housing—from reaching their full potential.

Why This Matters

For homeowners, builders, lenders, and communities, the new law removes or begins addressing several longstanding barriers that have limited housing production.

Among its most significant provisions, the law:

• Expands opportunities for second-position financing for ADUs, allowing more homeowners to build additional housing without refinancing historically low-interest first mortgages.
• Removes outdated federal barriers affecting manufactured housing, helping create more pathways to lower-cost homeownership.
• Advances financing and regulatory improvements that support modular and off-site housing construction.
• Includes dozens of additional reforms intended to increase housing production, improve affordability, and modernize federal housing programs.

Together, these reforms have the potential to expand attainable homeownership while increasing the nation’s housing supply.

Why California Should Pay Attention

California has spent nearly a decade demonstrating that removing barriers to small-scale housing works.

Since 2017, California has permitted more than 144,000 accessory dwelling units, transforming ADUs from a niche housing product into one of the state’s fastest-growing sources of new housing. The federal reforms build on that momentum by addressing one of the most significant remaining barriers: financing.

Today, many homeowners with low-interest mortgages face a difficult choice: refinance into a much higher interest rate to finance an ADU or abandon the project altogether. The law’s ADU financing provisions create new opportunities to broadly expand second-position lending, allowing more homeowners to add housing while preserving their existing mortgage.

“This legislation has the potential to fundamentally change how homeowners finance ADUs,” said Dan Hardcastle, Vice Chair of Casita Coalition’s Board of Directors, who helped develop the coalition’s recommendations on ADU financing. “Millions of homeowners have been effectively locked out of building an ADU because they couldn’t justify giving up a low-interest mortgage. Addressing that barrier could unlock thousands of additional homes.”

The law also includes important reforms for manufactured housing by removing the permanent chassis requirement—a longstanding policy change sought by housing advocates to reduce cost, improve financing opportunities and enable more flexible uses, including two-story designs.

“The housing shortage has reached a point where every practical solution deserves serious attention,” said Katherine Peoples, Chair of Casita Coalition’s Board of Directors. “This legislation demonstrates what is possible when Republicans and Democrats come together around one shared goal: making it easier to build more homes. It is an important step toward expanding homeownership opportunities for the next generation of Americans.”

The Work Begins Now

While today’s signing represents a historic milestone, implementation will determine the law’s ultimate success.

Casita Coalition will continue working with federal agencies, financial institutions, state leaders, local governments, and industry partners to help implement the legislation, expand financing opportunities for ADUs and middle housing, and identify additional reforms needed to address America’s housing shortage.

“The conversation about housing is changing,” Limón said. “Communities across the political spectrum increasingly recognize that we cannot solve an affordability crisis without building more homes. This law won’t solve the housing shortage by itself, but it gives homeowners, lenders, builders, and communities important new tools to do exactly that.”

About Casita Coalition

Casita Coalition is a California-based nonprofit organization advancing practical solutions to the housing shortage through middle housing, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), starter homes, manufactured housing, modular housing, townhomes, and other housing types that expand attainable homeownership and increase housing supply.

LENGNAU, Switzerland, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rado YoungStar Linda Nosková has achieved the biggest milestone of her career, winning her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. The victory marks a defining moment for the young Czech player, whose rise through the ranks has been driven by exceptional talent, determination and resilience. A former junior World No. 5, Nosková has steadily established herself as one of the most promising talents in women’s tennis. Her triumph at the All England Club crowns a remarkable season that included a semifinal appearance at Indian Wells, victory at the Berlin tournament and her debut in the WTA Top 10. Rado proudly congratulates Linda on this outstanding achievement and looks forward to supporting her as she continues to write the next chapter of her inspiring journey.

LINDA NOSKOVÁ CLAIMS HER FIRST GRAND SLAM TITLE AT WIMBLEDON

Rado proudly congratulates its YoungStar tennis ambassador Linda Nosková on winning Wimbledon, capturing her first Grand Slam title and achieving a milestone that reflects years of talent, determination and relentless dedication. The victory at the All England Club represents a defining moment for the young Czech athlete. After years of remarkable performances and continuous progression, Nosková has transformed immense potential into one of the biggest achievements in the sport.

On her way to the title, Linda first defeated Marta Kostyuk (UKR), World No. 12, in the semifinals before overcoming Czech Karolína Muchová (CZE), World No. 10, in the final to claim the most prestigious trophy of her career.

A BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT ON TENNIS’ BIGGEST STAGE

Winning Wimbledon is the culmination of a journey that began long before Linda Nosková emerged on the professional circuit. As a junior, she quickly established herself among the world’s most promising players, reaching World No. 5 in the junior rankings in 2021 and winning the French Open girls’ singles title that same year. Her rapid rise continued as she broke into the WTA Top 100 at just 17 years old, confirming her status as one of tennis’ brightest young talents. Today, that potential has been fully realised and her Wimbledon triumph firmly establishes her among the elite of the sport.

A REMARKABLE SEASON

Nosková’s Grand Slam success follows an exceptional run of form throughout the season. In recent months, she reached the semifinals at Indian Wells, lifted the trophy at the prestigious Berlin tournament and entered the WTA Top 10 for the first time. Each result reflected a growing maturity, confidence and consistency against the strongest competitors in the world. Her performances have demonstrated not only her exceptional talent, but also her ability to deliver under pressure on the sport’s biggest stages.

“We are extremely proud of Linda and this remarkable milestone in her career. Her first Wimbledon title is the result of years of dedication, perseverance and hard work. Since joining the Rado YoungStar family, she has consistently embodied the passion, determination and pursuit of excellence that define champions. We warmly congratulate her on this remarkable achievement and look forward to supporting her as she continues to inspire and shape the next chapters of her extraordinary journey.” – Adrian Bosshard, CEO of Rado

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER

While Wimbledon represents her first Grand Slam title, Linda Nosková’s story is only just beginning. Still at the start of her career, she continues to inspire tennis fans around the world with her talent, fearless attitude and unwavering determination to push boundaries. Today, Rado celebrates a new Wimbledon champion and congratulates Linda Nosková on a victory that confirms her place among the very best in women’s tennis.

Jackpot.com Partners with THNDR to Launch Industry-First P2P Skill Games and Tournaments

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jackpot.com, the leading digital lottery courier platform, today announced the launch of peer-to-peer (P2P) skill games and competitive tournaments — through a partnership with THNDR, the leading B2B skill gaming platform. The launch marks a significant evolution of the Jackpot.com platform, expanding beyond draw games and scratch tickets into a full-spectrum gaming destination that meets players wherever they are.

An Industry First

The $46B skill game market is a rapidly growing category within real money gaming. Jackpot.com is the first lottery courier platform to integrate real-money P2P skill games alongside traditional draw games and scratch tickets. Unlike games of pure chance, skill games place outcome in the hands of the player — offering a fundamentally different and highly engaging entertainment experience. Jackpot.com’s skill games offering includes Blackjack, Skills Slots, Solitaire, and many more popular games.

The addition of competitive tournaments further elevates the offering, creating a recurring, community-driven format that gives players a reason to return — and compete

Powered by THNDR’s Skill-Gaming Network

Jackpot.com’s skill games are powered by THNDR, the company building the premier PvP skill-gaming network for regulated operators. THNDR has become one of the fastest-rising names in competitive real-money gaming: the company reports more than 160 million games played, a 99.99% match-fill rate, and 25-plus operators live across sportsbook, daily fantasy, and lottery platforms. By building on THNDR’s cross-operator player network and patent-pending game verification, Jackpot.com offers instant, skill-based matchmaking where every outcome is decided by player skill rather than chance.

“Jackpot.com is the first major operator to go live with skill games in full capacity, and the partnership has already far exceeded all expectations. Skill games make a lottery product more competitive and more complete, giving players new reasons to come back. And this partnership is just getting started.”

• Desiree Dickerson, CEO & Co-Founder, THNDR

A Complete Gaming Platform

With the launch of Skill Games and Tournaments, Jackpot.com now offers players a comprehensive catalog spanning:

• Draw Games — multi-state jackpot games including Powerball®️, Mega Millions®️, and local state games
• Scratch Tickets — authentic scratch cards delivered digitally
• P2P Skill Games and Tournaments — real-money competitive games where player skill drives outcomes

This breadth of product is unmatched in the lottery courier category, positioning Jackpot.com not merely as a ticket-ordering service, but as a destination gaming platform built for the modern player.

“Jackpot.com has always believed the future of gaming is a single platform where every type of player finds their game. The launch of skill games and tournaments is the next step in that vision — expanding how players engage, giving them more reasons to return, and more ways to win.”

— Dharin Nanavati, Chief Growth Officer, Jackpot.com

Retail Momentum via Kroger Collaboration

The skill games launch comes on the heels of Jackpot.com’s recent collaboration with Kroger, one of America’s largest supermarket chains, which has brought Jackpot.com branding and access to hundreds of Kroger Fuel Station locations across multiple states.

Reaching a New Generation of Players

Skill games appeal to a distinct player profile — one that wants challenge and competition alongside the thrill of real-money play. By adding this dimension to its platform, Jackpot.com expands its addressable market well beyond traditional lottery players, attracting digitally-native audiences who demand more from their gaming experience.

Tournaments in particular create a high-frequency engagement loop — giving players structured, competitive reasons to return on a daily and weekly basis, and building a community around shared competition.

Nous Infosystems Is Now Artizent

New identity reflects a sharper strategic focus on engineering discipline, select industries, and measurable enterprise outcomes.

EDISON, N.J., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nous Infosystems, a global product and data engineering company backed by TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm, today announced that it has rebranded as Artizent, marking the next chapter in the company’s evolution.

The new identity reflects a more focused operating model built around first principles: deep engineering discipline, selective industry focus, fewer but stronger service lines, and a continued commitment to solving complex business problems for enterprise customers.

Artizent will focus on the areas where the company has established depth and where customers face the highest need for reliable execution: software and product engineering, data and analytics, cloud modernization, quality engineering, automation, and applied AI-enabled solutions. The company will place particular emphasis on banking, financial services, insurance, and other regulated industries where technology must operate at scale, with precision, resilience, and accountability.

While the company will operate under the Artizent brand, its ownership, leadership, customer relationships, delivery teams, and commitment to engineering excellence remain unchanged.

“Artizent reflects the company we are building for the next chapter,” said Milan Bhatt, Chief Executive Officer of Artizent. “Our focus is simple: go deeper in the industries we understand, concentrate on the services where we can deliver differentiated value, and apply engineering discipline to business problems that matter. Customers are not looking for more noise. They are looking for partners who understand their environment, simplify complexity, and deliver outcomes with consistency. That is the standard we are setting for Artizent.”

Founded in 1996, the company has helped enterprises build, modernize, and operate mission-critical software and data platforms for nearly three decades. The rebrand reflects the company’s continued evolution from a broad technology services provider into a more focused engineering partner for customers operating in complex, regulated, and high-stakes environments.

“I founded Nous with the belief that strong engineering discipline, combined with a deep understanding of data and customer context, leads to consistently good outcomes,” said Ajith J. Pillai, Chairman of Artizent. “That belief remains unchanged. What is changing is our level of focus. Artizent carries forward the trust, delivery culture, and technical depth our customers have relied on for years, while giving the company a sharper platform for its future growth.”

The rebrand follows TA’s strategic investment in 2025, which strengthened the company’s ability to invest in deeper capabilities, expand industry-focused solutions, and build longer-term, outcome-driven partnerships with customers worldwide.

“Over the past year, the company has sharpened its strategy around focused engineering services, priority industries, and measurable customer impact,” said Aditya Sharma, Managing Director at TA. “The Artizent brand reflects the strength of the business today and its vision for the future. We believe the company is well positioned to help enterprises modernize critical technology platforms, improve decision-making, and deliver complex transformation initiatives with greater speed, quality, and accountability.”

The transition to the Artizent brand will be implemented globally across the company’s offices, digital properties, and customer communications over the coming months. Existing customer engagements, contracts, leadership, and operational teams remain unchanged.

• Presented interim FRONTIER4 data evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of investigational denecimig across once-weekly, once-every-two-weeks, and once-monthly dosing in hemophilia A participants of all ages and disease severities^1,2
• Denecimig is an investigational subcutaneous FVIIIa-mimetic antibody under review with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)¹
• Separate phase 3 explorer10 data observed that concizumab reduced annualized bleeding rate compared to on-demand treatment in children with hemophilia A or B, with inhibitors³

PLAINSBORO, N.J. and BAGSVÆRD, Denmark, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Novo Nordisk today unveiled new data from the phase 3 FRONTIER4 extension study evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of investigational denecimig (Mim8) subcutaneous prophylaxis in children, adolescents, and adults with hemophilia A, with or without inhibitors, across a range of dosing frequencies including once-monthly, once-every-two-weeks, and once-weekly administration. These results and other data across Novo Nordisk’s hemophilia portfolio were presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress in Paris.

“The positive safety and efficacy findings from FRONTIER4 reinforce denecimig’s potential as a preventive treatment option for children, adolescents, and adults with hemophilia A, regardless of their inhibitor status or the dosing frequency used,” said Dr. Martin Holst Lange, chief scientific officer and executive vice president, Research & Development at Novo Nordisk. “The breadth and totality of our data presented at ISTH reflect Novo Nordisk’s commitment to advancing treatment innovation to address the diverse needs of people living with hemophilia.”

Interim analyses from the open-label, phase 3 FRONTIER4 long-term safety and efficacy study included 426 people with hemophilia A aged 1 year and older on denecimig prophylaxis (365 adults and adolescents with a median observation period of 0.50 years; 61 children with a median observation period of 0.33 years). For the primary study endpoint of safety, denecimig was found to be consistent with findings previously shared from the FRONTIER research program. Injection-site reactions (ISR) were reported at low rates in children (2.0% of injections) and in adolescents and adults (1.8% of injections), and all were mild and transient. No clinical evidence of neutralizing antibodies was observed. For the secondary study endpoints of efficacy, estimated mean annualized bleeding rates (ABRs) were consistent with findings from the FRONTIER research program across all dosing regimens and regardless of inhibitor status (ABRs: 0.75; 95% CI 0.60, 0.93 for adults and adolescents; 0.37; 95% CI 0.17, 0.76 for children). Across all doses, approximately 71% of adults and adolescents and 89% of children experienced zero treated bleeds while receiving denecimig.^1,2

The interim assessment of exploratory patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the long-term FRONTIER4 study showed findings from prior FRONTIER trials were maintained long-term in all dosing frequencies studied, including improved joint pain for people aged 12 and older (Joint Pain Rating Scale, JPRS) and reduced treatment burden for those aged one and older (Hemophilia Treatment Experience Measure, Hemo-TEM). Across all age groups and dosing frequencies, 94.1% of 185 participants found the denecimig pen-injector easy or very easy to use, and 89.7% found it quick or very quick to prepare and inject (Hemophilia Device Assessment Tool, HDAT).⁴

New post hoc analyses of participants aged 12 and older with available thrombin generation data from the phase 3 FRONTIER2 and FRONTIER5 studies found that denecimig prophylaxis increased thrombin generation, a measure of the body’s ability to form clots, into the normal reference range in adolescents and adults without excessive response. These findings further support denecimig’s data across the clinical program.⁵

In September 2025, Novo Nordisk submitted denecimig for review to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through a Biologics License Application (BLA).

“When managing a chronic condition like hemophilia A, it’s important that treatments are evaluated over the long-term and also offer dosing optionality,” said Guy Young, MD, Director, Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center at Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles. “These data suggest denecimig, which has delivered consistent results across the entire FRONTIER program, has the potential to have a truly meaningful impact for a diverse array of people with hemophilia A.”

In addition to the latest denecimig data, Novo Nordisk is also presenting first‑time results from the phase 3 open-label concizumab explorer10 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of concizumab prophylaxis in 24 children below the age of 12 living with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors. In the trial, the estimated mean ABR on concizumab prophylaxis was 2.08 (95% CI 1.27, 3.41) compared to 11.51 (95% CI 7.75, 17.09) for previous on-demand treatment and the ABR ratio was 0.18 (95% CI 0.11, 0.29), representing an 82% reduction in ABR with concizumab compared to prior on-demand treatment. Eighty-three percent of the participants reported at least one on-treatment adverse event. Most events were mild in severity (152 out of 192 events) and with reported outcome as recovered (178 out of 192 events). Injection site reactions were infrequent, with 0.1 events per patient years of exposure. Twenty-nine percent of the participants reported serious adverse events.³

About Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a rare inherited bleeding disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding.⁶ While hemophilia can affect men and women, it’s most common in men and is estimated to impact 1,125,000 men worldwide.⁷ There are different types of hemophilia, which are characterized by the type of clotting factor protein that is defective or missing. Hemophilia A is caused by a missing or defective clotting Factor VIII (FVIII), and hemophilia B is caused by a missing or defective clotting Factor IX (FIX).⁷ Hemophilia is often treated by replacing the missing clotting factor via intravenous infusions, also known as replacement therapy. However, sometimes the body can produce inhibitors as an immune response to the clotting factor replacement therapy. When this happens, the therapy may not work and can limit treatment options.⁶

About denecimig

Denecimig is an investigational, bispecific antibody Factor VIIIa (FVIIIa) mimetic, designed as a routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults, adolescents, and children with hemophilia A (congenital FVIIIa deficiency), with or without inhibitors.^8-12 Intended to be administered under the skin, denecimig bridges Factor IXa and Factor X.¹³ This action mimics FVIIIa function, which helps restore the body’s thrombin generation capacity, helping blood to clot.¹⁴

About concizumab

Concizumab is an anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) monoclonal antibody designed to block a protein in the body that stops blood from clotting. By blocking TFPI, concizumab leads to downstream production of thrombin, which helps to clot the blood and to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes.¹⁵ Concizumab is currently approved under the name Alhemo^® in India, Brazil, and Switzerland for the treatment of adolescents and adults (12 years or older) with hemophilia A or B with inhibitors.^16-18 In the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia, Alhemo^® is currently approved for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adolescents and adults (12 years or older) with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors.^{15, 19-21} It is not known if Alhemo^® is safe and effective in people receiving ongoing immune tolerance induction or in children younger than 12 years of age. The use of concizumab in children below 12 years of age with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors, is investigational, safety and efficacy are not established and concizumab is not approved by regulatory authorities or available anywhere in the world.

About FRONTIER4

The FRONTIER clinical program investigates denecimig as a prophylaxis treatment for adults, adolescents, and children with hemophilia A, with or without inhibitors. The program includes FRONTIER1, FRONTIER2, FRONTIER3, FRONTIER4, and FRONTIER5.^8-12

FRONTIER4 is the largest ongoing phase 3 trial of the FRONTIER program evaluating denecimig across all dosing frequencies in people of all ages, regardless of inhibitor status.^8-12 The open-label trial aims to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of denecimig prophylaxis treatment in participants from across all FRONTIER trials who chose to continue on denecimig for the extension study.⁸

The FRONTIER4 long-term extension study includes 426 patients who decided to continue denecimig treatment after participating in the FRONTIER1, FRONTIER2, FRONTIER3, and FRONTIER5 studies. The current interim analysis covers a median observation period of 0.50 years in adults and adolescents and 0.33 years in children across the extension study, after patients have been in the pivotal phase 3 trials for a minimum of 26 to 52 weeks, depending on the FRONTIER trial they transitioned from.^1,2,8-12

About FRONTIER2

The 52-week phase 3 FRONTIER2 study compared the efficacy and safety profile of once-monthly and once-weekly denecimig versus on-demand clotting factor treatment and versus prior coagulation factor prophylaxis treatment in people aged 12 and older living with hemophilia A, with or without inhibitors.¹⁰

About FRONTIER5

The 26-week phase 3 FRONTIER5 study investigated the safety of switching from emicizumab, an existing hemophilia A treatment, to denecimig without a washout period or loading dose. The safety of transitioning to denecimig was assessed for once-monthly, once-every-two-weeks and once-weekly dosing intervals in 48 participants who were treated with emicizumab prior to entering the study.¹²

About explorer10

Explorer10 is an ongoing, open-label phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of concizumab prophylaxis in children under 12 years of age with hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors.³

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Via Transportation, Inc. (NYSE: VIA) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and related prospectus (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) issued in connection with Via’s initial public offering (the “IPO” or “Offering”), of the important August 10, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Via common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Via class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/via-transportation-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 10, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the complaint, the Offering Documents used to effectuate Via’s IPO were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the IPO, Via’s growth had already begun to encounter obstacles because of Via’s declining Platform Annual Run-Rate Revenue and inability to grow in Germany. As these facts emerged after the IPO, Via shares fell sharply. By the commencement of this action, Via’s shares traded as low as $14.52, a decline of nearly 70% from the IPO. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Via class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/via-transportation-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Designed with a stainless steel steaming and blending system, NutriEase gives parents a more reassuring option for homemade baby food prep.

NEW YORK, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more parents look closely at what touches their baby’s food, BEAR is putting a sharper spotlight on the NutriEase AllStage Stainless Steel Baby Food Maker — a baby food maker designed around stainless steel in a category where many steaming and blending products still rely on plastic cups, jars, or bowls.

For parents starting solids, homemade baby food can feel like the better choice, but the process often comes with practical concerns: heating, blending, transferring, checking texture, and cleaning multiple parts afterward. NutriEase was created to make that routine feel simpler, while also addressing one concern parents may not always say out loud: what material is touching warm baby food.

At the heart of NutriEase is a stainless steel steaming and blending cup, designed for parents who care deeply about what touches their baby’s food, especially when heat is involved. The same stainless steel cup is used for both steaming and blending, so parents do not have to move hot ingredients from one container to another. With fewer transfers and fewer parts to manage, NutriEase makes homemade baby food easier to prepare as part of a daily routine.

“Parents do not think about materials in a purely technical way. They think about what touches their baby’s food, especially when heat is involved,” said Kai, Head of Product at BEAR. “Even when a plastic part is labeled BPA-free, some parents still feel more at ease with stainless steel. NutriEase was designed around that very real feeling — giving families a stainless steel option for the foods they prepare every day.”

NutriEase also includes preset programs designed for different feeding stages, helping parents move from smooth first purees to thicker textures as their baby grows. For families who want to make fresh food at home without turning every meal prep into a project, NutriEase offers a simpler way to steam, blend, and serve with more confidence.

The NutriEase Baby Food Maker is part of BEAR’s growing baby care lineup, which focuses on practical feeding and cleaning products for everyday family routines. More product details are available at bearforbaby.com.

About BEAR

BEAR develops baby care appliances for parents who want daily routines to feel easier and more manageable. From feeding prep to bottle cleaning, BEAR products are designed around practical details that help families care for babies with less friction.

NEW YORK and NEW ORLEANS, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF continues its investigation into Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP).

In August of 2025, contrary to the Company’s repeated assurances that it had met all regulatory, technical, and commercial prerequisites for the launch of its Inspire V device, the Company disclosed that the launch faced an “elongated timeframe” due to previously undisclosed issues, including that “many centers did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding criteria required prior to the purchase and implant of Inspire V,” “software updates for claims submissions and processing” not taking effect until early July, and that excess inventory caused poor demand. As a result, the Company slashed its 2025 earnings guidance by more than 80%, from $2.20 to $2.30 per share to $0.40 to $0.50 per share.

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information in violation of federal securities laws. Recently, the case was transferred from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to the District of Minnesota, and remains ongoing.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Inspire’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws. 

If you have information that would assist KSF in its investigation, or have been a long-term holder of Inspire shares and would like to discuss your legal rights, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-833-938-0905 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com), or visit https://www.ksfcounsel.com/cases/nyse-insp/ to learn more.

Historic housing legislation saw overwhelming bipartisan support for planning-led solutions to

the housing crisis in the United States.

CHICAGO, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The American Planning Association (APA) applauds the enactment of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act into law, marking a significant federal action in planning-led housing solutions and providing communities with new tools to increase housing supply, improve affordability and expand housing choice.

For years, APA has worked alongside and provided expertise to policymakers, local leaders and planning professionals to advance housing policies that help communities remove barriers to development while improving local decision-making. Many of the planning provisions included in the new law support local reforms and reflect legislation long supported by APA and its members.

“The new 21st Century ROAD to Housing law reinforces the central role of planning in helping communities reduce barriers, broaden housing options and translate housing goals into real outcomes,” said APA President Sue Schwartz, FAICP. “APA has long supported approaches now in the law and remains committed to supporting planners and communities to use these tools effectively.”

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing provides new federal support for planning strategies that help communities, large and small, urban and rural, increase housing production, including zoning reform, pre-approved housing plans, modular and manufactured housing, building code modernization, adaptive reuse of existing buildings, missing-middle housing, and other planning tools that reduce barriers to development.

APA will provide guidance on what it means for planners and their communities. Additionally, APA will continue working with planners, local governments and federal partners to help communities put the law into practice and expand housing opportunities nationwide.

The American Planning Association is an independent, not-for-profit educational organization that provides vital leadership in creating great communities for all. APA and its professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners, are dedicated to advancing the profession of planning, offering better choices for where and how people work and live. The nearly 40,000 APA members work in concert with community residents, civic leaders and business interests to create communities that enrich people’s lives. Through its philanthropic work, APA’s Foundation helps to reduce economic and social barriers to good planning. APA is based in Chicago. Learn more at www.planning.org.

GENEVA, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PrimeBOT, a robotics brand, appeared at the United Nations’ AI for Good Global Summit. The summit, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with over 50 UN agencies including UNESCO, explores how AI can serve human welfare. PrimeBOT defines a new category: the Personal Robot – robots designed for homes and daily life, not production lines, that anyone can own, program, and create with. PrimeBOT came not to showcase technical specs, but to join a global conversation on education, inclusion, and human potential.

Personal robots will reshape how AI is taught. Imagine a child learning to code by teaching a real robot to move and respond. PrimeBOT Q1 offers a developer console for young learners. Children start with block-based programming to choreograph movements, expressions, and conversational responses – turning Q1 into a companion that listens and speaks. They can then convert blocks into Python code and train AI models to recognize gestures or objects, making the entire machine learning cycle tangible. Programming becomes a conversation with a robot, not abstract syntax. PrimeBOT envisions Q1 as an AI learning companion for every family – not replacing teachers or parents, but making education hands-on and playful.

PrimeBOT’s vision is collaboration and integration – robots understanding human needs and augmenting creativity. The brand partners with youth and educational institutions globally, helping people see technology as a connector, not a divider. At the UN, PrimeBOT chose education over spectacle. In its view, technology must let the next generation grow as creators of AI, not just consumers.

PrimeBOT is in dialogue with educational and non-profit organizations across North America and Europe to explore how personal robots can support youth AI literacy. This is a patient journey – not a product announcement, but a shared exploration with educators, parents, and children. The future of personal robots is not something to be defined alone – it will be built together.

Multi-year agreement returns 54 local broadcast stations to customers in 36 metro regions

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DIRECTV today announced a new multi-year agreement that will return 54 local broadcast stations owned and operated by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) to DIRECTV streaming, satellite, and U-verse customers, effective immediately.

The agreement ends a five-week blackout affecting millions of customers across 36 Nielsen DMAs, including Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Nashville, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and others, with access to local news from their communities, as well as significant cultural events like the annual NBA Finals and NHL Stanley Cup Final, or the ongoing FIFA World Cup.

“We’re grateful to our customers for their patience. Like them, we are frustrated that broadcasters use blackouts as a tool to force us to accept unwarranted rate hikes that consistently exceed normal, inflationary increases, and by a lot,” said Rob Thun, chief content officer at DIRECTV. “At a time when affordability matters more than ever, families are too often asked to pay more while receiving less.

“Local broadcasters were entrusted with serving their communities through local news, weather, emergency information, and hometown sports,” Thun added. “But as ownership becomes concentrated among a handful of ever-larger broadcasters gaining stations across new and within their existing markets, those expanded stations become increasingly powerful and further unbalanced negotiating tools. The more markets and major network affiliations a broadcaster controls, the greater its ability to withhold programming from the very communities it is meant to serve.

“Consumers should never lose access to essential local television because of a carriage dispute. It’s time to modernize the system so it rewards service to local communities—and not consolidated market power—by returning to the original purpose of broadcasting of putting viewers’ interests first,” Thun concluded.

ABOUT DIRECTV

DIRECTV is a premier provider of digital television entertainment in the United States. With a diverse range of programming options and cutting-edge technology, DIRECTV delivers a world-class viewing experience to millions of subscribers.

General Fusion completes its combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III, clearing the path to a Nasdaq debut as the first publicly listed fusion company

Issued on behalf of General Fusion Inc.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 10, 2026   /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group News Commentary — For more than two decades, fusion energy has lived almost entirely in the private markets, funded by venture syndicates, corporate strategic investors, and a handful of high-profile backers. That is beginning to change. Built for Our World frames the company’s vision for that shift. General Fusion Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: GFUZ) has completed its previously announced business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), a transaction that clears the way for the company to enter the public markets as, by its own account, the first publicly listed fusion company[1].

General Fusion is entering the public markets with approximately US$150 million in cash, inclusive of net transaction proceeds from the private placement and trust capital.  This capital is expected to fund General Fusion’s Lawson program through several key technical milestones, which the Company aims to complete in 2028, with the goal of demonstrating and de-risking its Magnetized Target Fusion (“MTF”) technology in a commercially relevant way. Key Takeaways

• General Fusion has closed its business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III, with common stock and warrants expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols GFUZ and GFUZW.
• The company enters the public markets with the funding required to advance the next phase of its Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) program, anchored by its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) demonstration machine in Vancouver.
• The listing arrives as electricity demand accelerates and public-market interest in advanced energy names broadens well beyond traditional utilities.

The mechanics of the deal are straightforward for anyone who has followed the recent wave of energy-sector public listings. General Fusion Inc. has combined with Spring Valley, a special purpose acquisition company, to form General Fusion Group Ltd. The company has said it is entering the public markets with cash, including from a private investment in public equity (PIPE) and trust capital, and is expected to fund its Lawson program through the PIPE capital as it advances its fusion energy technology[1].

What makes the story unusual is not the structure but the subject. Fusion has long been described as perpetually twenty years away. This is General Fusion traces the two-decade operating history behind the company. General Fusion is attempting to compress that timeline with a practical engineering approach it calls MTF. Rather than relying on the superconducting magnets or high-powered lasers that define other approaches, MTF mechanically compresses plasma using a liquid metal liner, an approach the company argues is better suited to a real-world power plant built from existing materials.

At the center of that effort is LM26, which the company describes as the first MTF demonstration machine built at a commercially relevant scale. According to General Fusion, LM26 mechanically compresses plasma with a lithium liner at 50 percent of commercial-scale diameter based on current design parameters, and is designed to pursue a sequence of technical milestones: plasma heating to 1 keV, then to 10 keV, and ultimately the Lawson criterion, the combination of conditions required to produce net fusion energy in the plasma[1].

A Small But Widening Field of Public Energy-Transition Names

General Fusion is stepping into a public market that has grown noticeably more receptive to pre-commercial, capital-intensive energy developers. A cluster of advanced nuclear and fuel-cycle companies has become the reference set investors use to think about long-duration, policy-supported energy bets. These companies pursue different technologies and sit at different stages, but they share a common thread with General Fusion: large addressable markets, long commercialization timelines, and valuations that hinge on execution against technical milestones.

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) has become one of the most visible advanced-fission names, developing compact fast-reactor designs and working through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensing process. NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) holds an early lead in small modular reactors as the developer of an NRC-certified design. Centrus Energy (NYSE American: LEU) sits on the fuel side of the equation, supplying enriched uranium as domestic fuel security becomes a strategic priority. Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a maker of solid oxide fuel-cell power systems, has become one of the market’s clearest plays on surging data-center electricity demand, showing how quickly investor appetite for on-site, always-on power has broadened beyond traditional utilities[2].

None of these companies is a fusion pure-play, and General Fusion is quick to note that its own path remains subject to significant technical and commercial risk. But together, they sketch the contours of a public market that is increasingly willing to underwrite the long, uncertain road from laboratory results to grid-scale power.

Why the Timing Matters

The listing lands at a moment when electricity demand is climbing and nations are competing to commercialize next-generation power. General Fusion frames its MTF approach as designed from the outset for practicality: avoiding exotic components, enabling durable machines built from commonly available materials, and integrating with existing power-plant infrastructure. Whether that vision translates into commercial fusion remains an open question, and the company has been candid that meaningful milestones, including the Lawson criterion, still lie ahead.

For public-market investors, the completion of the business combination changes the nature of the question. Fusion is no longer purely a private-market story accessible only to venture syndicates and strategic backers. With General Fusion set to trade under the ticker symbol “GFUZ”, the sector now has a public pure-play reference point, and the market will judge its progress in real time, milestone by milestone. The Path to Commercialization lays out how the company plans to get from demonstration to deployment.

The consolidation of The Attivo Group and AttivoERP into one unified brand marks a new chapter — one partner, one mission, every stage of the ERP journey.

CONYERS, Ga. and IRVINE, Calif. and PROVIDENCE, R.I. and PITTSBURGH, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AttivoERP, a full-service Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) consulting and implementation firm serving manufacturers, distributors, and small to mid-sized growing businesses, today announced the unification of its brand under a single identity: AttivoERP.

This move brings together several decades of consulting expertise and ERP specialization into one team, one brand, and one mission, supporting clients across every stage of the ERP lifecycle.

When the company was founded, it deliberately positioned itself as a consultancy rather than simply a software vendor. This reflected its commitment to working with clients from the very beginning of their software purchasing journey, helping them assess needs, make informed decisions, and achieve successful outcomes. Over time, Attivo has evolved well beyond its original role. While ERP implementation remains a core area of expertise, the company now plays a much broader role in supporting organizations through their digital transformation journeys, delivering a wide range of solutions and services that help businesses modernize, innovate, and grow.

One Partner, Every Stage of the ERP Journey

AttivoERP now steps forward as a single, unified partner offering full-service ERP support from first evaluation through long-term optimization.

The company works across many of the industry’s leading platforms, including:

• Acumatica
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
• Oracle NetSuite
• SAP Business One
• Enterpryze
• Exact Globe+

AttivoERP’s full-service offering spans the entire ERP lifecycle, including:

• ERP Selection: Helping businesses identify the right platform for their needs.
• Implementation: End-to-end deployment support.
• Training: Through the Attivo Academy resource.
• Support: Provided through the Attivo TotalCare program.
• Optimization: Ongoing system refinement as businesses grow.
• ERP Recovery: Rescuing stalled or troubled implementations.
• Legacy System Support: Including Macola, Sage 100, Exact, and Dynamics GP.
• Cloud Hosting: Through the dedicated Attivo Cloud Hosting.
• Specialized Integrations & Industry Add-Ons: Tailored to specific verticals and workflows.

“Today’s businesses require more than software support—they need a trusted advisor who understands their goals and helps them continuously improve,” said Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP “Our brand relaunch, new website, and reinforces our commitment to innovation and to helping clients achieve lasting ERP success.

“The refreshed brand reflects AttivoERP’s evolution from a traditional ERP reseller and implementation partner into a strategic advisor focused on helping organizations achieve long-term business success through the alignment of people, processes, and technology.

“Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP continued, “Whether a business is choosing their first ERP system or optimizing one they’ve run for a decade, they’re working with the same team, the same standards, and the same commitment to their success as when we first launched. This unification simply makes that visible from the outside.”

More Than Three Decades in the Making

AttivoERP’s roots trace back to 1992, when the company was founded as The Attivo Group — a consulting firm built around a simple idea: helping businesses run better. As ERP solutions became increasingly central to that mission, the business evolved, adopting the AttivoERP identity roughly six years ago to reflect the growing software and implementation focus.

Today, AttivoERP emerges as a unified whole: one brand, one presence, one team that has always worked toward the same goal, even under different names. This unification reflects 34 years of continuous improvement through more platforms, deeper expertise, and a growing team and partner network built around client success.

After more than three decades of growing, adapting, and expanding what we’re capable of, we’re stepping into the market as one unified brand, because that’s what we’ve become,” Reo added.

What’s New Alongside the Launch

The brand unification arrives alongside several new developments:

• A new brand identity and unified website, launching this summer at attivoerp.com.
• AI-powered implementation and migration tools, designed to make ERP projects faster, more accurate, and more affordable.
• Attivo TotalCare, formalized as a new subscription offering within AttivoERP’s full-service approach.

The launch of AttivoERP.com provides a modern digital experience where clients and prospective customers can access solutions, resources, industry expertise, and educational content designed to maximize the value of their ERP investments.

“A unified brand needed a unified digital presence to match,” said Marla Malkin, VP of Marketing at AttivoERP. “Our new website and identity are built to make it immediately clear who we are and how we can help, no matter where a business is in their ERP journey.”

“For our team, this launch is more about how we show up for clients going forward,” said Emily Perez, Marketing Manager at AttivoERP. “Clients will see one consistent brand at every touchpoint, from the first conversation through years of ongoing support.”

In the news release, Global Buyers Drive Rising Demand for Palm Beach County’s Off-Market Luxury Real Estate in 2026, Says Darlene Streit of The Corcoran Group, issued 08-Jun-2026 by Darlene Streit of The Corcoran Group over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the source of the release should be ‘Darlene Streit of The Corcoran Group’ rather than ‘The Corcoran Group’ as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:

Global Buyers Drive Rising Demand for Palm Beach County’s Off-Market Luxury Real Estate in 2026, Says Darlene Streit of The Corcoran Group

South Florida Luxury Advisor Darlene Streit Releases New Market Guidance on Discreet Transactions, Equestrian Demand, and the Shifting Buyer Profile

PALM BEACH, Fla., June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palm Beach County is seeing a steady rise in off-market luxury real estate activity, as more high-net-worth buyers from across the United States and abroad seek private, discreet transactions in the region’s most exclusive communities.

A growing share of high-end deals in Palm Beach, Wellington, Delray Beach, and Jupiter is now being completed outside of public listings. Buyers in this segment often prefer privacy, early access to properties, and personal introductions, while sellers are placing greater value on confidentiality and timing.

Darlene Streit, a Senior Global Real Estate Advisor based in Palm Beach, has been tracking these shifts in the South Florida luxury market for more than 25 years. With over $2.5 billion in career sales and recognition among the top 0.5 percent of agents nationwide, Streit is releasing new market guidance for buyers and sellers operating in this evolving landscape.

“Palm Beach and Wellington have become global destinations for luxury living, even more so than just a few years ago,” said Streit. “Many of the most desirable opportunities never reach the public market. Buyers want access to listings before they go live, and sellers want confidentiality. That has changed the way the highest end of this market works.”

Wellington Continues to Grow as a Global Equestrian Real Estate Hub

Streit’s guidance also focuses on Wellington’s continued growth as an international center for equestrian property. The village, known for its winter equestrian season, draws riders, owners, and investors from Europe, South America, and across the United States each year.

Demand for farms, training facilities, and estate properties remains strong through 2026, supported by Wellington’s calendar of international equestrian events and the broader appeal of South Florida’s lifestyle and tax environment.

“Wellington is unlike any other equestrian market in the country,” Streit said. “Buyers are looking for properties that support both their sport and their family lifestyle. That combination is rare, and it continues to drive sustained interest from outside the region.”

Much of Wellington’s appeal also comes from its proximity to Palm Beach. Owners can enjoy a true equestrian lifestyle and the smaller, quieter rhythm of a village community while still having the dining, shopping, cultural offerings, and international airport access of Palm Beach within a short drive. For families balancing a serious riding program with the wider pace of South Florida life, the ability to move seamlessly between worlds is difficult to replicate anywhere else in the country.

The Buyer Profile Continues to Shift

Recent activity in Palm Beach County reflects a wider mix of buyers than in previous years. Families relocating from the Northeast and Midwest remain a large share of the market, while international buyers and investors from Europe and Latin America are also increasing their presence.

Common priorities among current buyers include waterfront access, gated communities, security, proximity to top private schools, and equestrian facilities. Sellers are increasingly focused on discreet marketing, careful pre-market preparation, and timing the sale to match seasonal demand.

The new guidance from Streit’s team is designed to provide buyers and sellers with a clearer understanding of the factors shaping Palm Beach County’s luxury market for the rest of 2026. Drawing on decades of experience in South Florida’s high-end real estate sector, Streit’s guidance addresses the strategic considerations that increasingly influence successful transactions: off-market positioning, pre-market preparation, seasonal timing, and managing the complexities of club memberships and HOA approvals. As more luxury sales take place privately, the growing importance of experienced local representation, market timing, and discreet transaction management is essential in navigating today’s evolving ultra-luxury landscape.

About Darlene Streit

Darlene Streit is a Senior Global Real Estate Advisor with The Corcoran Group, specializing in luxury real estate throughout Palm Beach, Wellington, Delray Beach, Jupiter, and the wider South Florida market. With more than 25 years of experience and over $2.5 billion in career sales, she is consistently recognized among the top 0.5 percent of agents nationwide. Streit represents high-net-worth buyers and sellers seeking discreet, strategic representation in the South Florida luxury market.

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AFX, a high-performance sovereign L1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives, today announced a landmark operational milestone: surpassing $1.1 billion in cumulative trading volume during its initial period of operation. This rapid ascent is supported by over 8.6 million total trades, positioning AFX as one of the fastest-growing decentralized derivatives platforms in the 2026 Web3 landscape.

The most distinctive feature of AFX’s growth is its superior capital efficiency. While many decentralized protocols rely on massive Total Value Locked (TVL) to attract volume, AFX has achieved its $1.1 billion milestone with a lean TVL of approximately $23.4 million.This exceptionally high volume-to-TVL ratio underscores the platform’s advanced liquidity architecture and its appeal to professional high-frequency traders who demand deep order books and sub-100ms execution without the friction of legacy DeFi systems.

“Reaching $1.1 billion in volume so quickly validates our vision of a high-velocity, community-centric financial infrastructure,” said Ken C, Head of Growth at AFX. “AFX is not just another DEX; it is a demonstration of how institutional-grade liquidity can thrive in a fully decentralized, sovereign environment. By allocating 65% of the token supply to the community, we are ensuring that the value generated by this high-performance engine is returned to the builders and traders who power it.”

Currently, AFX is in the midst of its Season 1 Rewards program, featuring a 475,000 weekly points pool to incentivize liquidity providers and guild participants. The platform’s LP Vaults (ALP) continue to deliver robust performance, offering an approximately 11% APY derived directly from actual protocol fees. As AFX continues to scale its 39 listed markets, including crypto leaders and synthetic TradFi assets, the protocol remains committed to bridging the gap between centralized performance and decentralized sovereignty.

About AFX

AFX is a high-performance sovereign L1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives. By synthesizing the rapid execution of a centralized exchange with the immutable sovereignty of blockchain, AFX delivers a professional-grade Perp DEX environment characterized by sub-100ms finality, institutional liquidity, and unmatched capital efficiency.

Product availability varies by jurisdiction.

MECHANICSBURG, Pa., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pennsylvania American Water is encouraging customers throughout portions of its statewide service territory to voluntarily reduce their water consumption in response to the drought watch declaration expansion announced recently by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). While the company always encourages wise water use, Pennsylvania American Water is asking residents and businesses to voluntarily reduce their nonessential water use by 10-15% (a reduction of approximately 11-16 gallons per day) in accordance with DEP’s guidance.

“We’re asking our customers in affected areas to observe the DEP’s request and be mindful of their nonessential water use during this drought watch,” said Brandy Braun, director of water quality and environmental compliance for Pennsylvania American Water. “Our sources of supply are currently adequate to meet the needs of our customers, but we want to prepare for the potential for more severe conditions that could lead to stricter conservation measures in the future.” 

Of the 18 counties currently included in DEP’s drought watch declaration, nine are within areas where Pennsylvania American Water provides water service. Those counties include Adams, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Northampton and York.

Following a meeting of the Commonwealth Drought Task Force on June 29, 2026, DEP worsened its declaration from Watch to Warning for four counties – Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon and Lehigh – based on public water supply levels and data related to four indicators: precipitation, surface water flow, groundwater level and soil moisture. According to DEP, a drought warning declaration is the second level of the state’s three drought classifications. Learn more on DEP’s drought information webpage.

Pennsylvania American Water offers multiple water conservation resources in the Wise Water Use section of its website. It also is a member of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, which developed an online Water Use Calculator that allows visitors to input water use information specific to their household and offers tips on where they can save water and energy based on that data. The company also periodically shares water conservation tips and reminders with customers through email campaigns, bill enclosures and social media posts.

Below are tips for conserving water inside and outside the home: 

• Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are full. If you have a water-saver cycle, use it.
• Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks with our free leak detection kits. If you find a leak, have it fixed as soon as possible.  
• Install water-saving showerheads, toilets and faucet aerators.
• Consider water and energy-efficient appliances. Products and services that have earned the WaterSense label have been certified to be at least 20% more efficient while maintaining performance. 
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes in the sink.
• Water your lawn only when it needs it. When you do, water in the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation. 
• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your sidewalk, driveway or patio. 
• Set up a rain barrel to be ready to repurpose rain when it does fall. For information, see this Penn State Extension guide.

The article highlights what Tucson drivers should consider when choosing car insurance for protection on Southern Arizona roads.

TUCSON, Ariz., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should Tucson drivers look for when selecting auto insurance? That question is answered in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Merrie Connon, Insurance Expert of Tucson, Arizona.

The article explains that driving in Tucson brings unique risks that make proper auto insurance especially important. From heavy commuter traffic to monsoon storms and desert wildlife, the potential for accidents and damage is higher than in other regions. Tucson drivers must think beyond minimum legal requirements to ensure that both their vehicles and their financial well-being are protected.

The HelloNation article emphasizes that many drivers focus on liability coverage, but this may not be enough. It explains that comprehensive car insurance can also cover collision damage, weather-related incidents, theft, and even injuries to passengers. Drivers who carefully review their policy coverage can avoid being underinsured during a serious accident.

Monsoon storms are a common hazard in Southern Arizona. The article notes that these storms can lead to flooding, flying debris, and collisions caused by reduced visibility or slick roads. Wildlife such as coyotes or javelinas can also pose sudden risks. The article advises that auto insurance policies should include protection for these types of accident costs to avoid unexpected financial burdens.

Tucson drivers can also benefit from bundling car insurance with other policies. The article explains that combining policies, such as home and auto insurance, often leads to insurance discounts. This approach also simplifies account management and policy updates. Families who regularly review their options can make sure they are getting both strong coverage and the best value.

Choosing the right deductible is another important decision. The article outlines how higher deductibles can lower monthly premiums, but may increase out-of-pocket accident costs. Tucson drivers should think about how much they can afford to pay after an incident and find a balance that fits their financial situation. Reviewing past claims or accident history can also help with this decision.

Car insurance may include more than just protection for the driver’s own vehicle. The HelloNation article explains that many policies also offer rental car coverage, roadside assistance, and legal help if a lawsuit follows an accident. These features can give drivers added confidence when dealing with the unexpected on Southern Arizona roads.

Accident costs can be high, especially when more than one vehicle is involved. The article notes that medical bills, repair expenses, and liability claims can add up quickly. Having a car insurance policy with strong coverage limits protects families from having to dip into savings or rely on credit after a major incident.

Periodic policy reviews are also recommended. The article encourages Tucson drivers to reassess their coverage as their vehicles age or driving patterns change. Road hazards and traffic conditions in the region can vary, and adjusting policies to reflect those changes ensures continued protection.

The HelloNation article concludes that auto insurance is more than just a legal requirement. It is a tool for financial security and peace of mind. Drivers who understand their policy coverage, evaluate deductibles, and stay informed about local risks are better prepared to handle challenges on Southern Arizona roads.

Specialty fibers are expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the material type segment of the synthetic rope market during the forecast period.

The specialty fibers segment is expected to register the highest growth in the synthetic rope market. The increasing popularity of specialty fibers is largely due to their properties and the expanding range of their use across different sectors. Specialty fibers such as aramid and high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) provide exceptional tensile strength, enabling synthetic ropes to withstand heavy loads without breaking. These properties are crucial in industries such as oil & gas, marine, and construction, where safety and reliability are paramount. Ropes made of specialty fibers are corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and chemically resistant. Aramid can withstand high temperatures without losing structural integrity. This thermal stability is essential for applications that involve exposure to heat or flames, such as industrial lifting operations, firefighting, or rescue operations.

Braided is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the construction type segment during the forecast period.

Braided synthetic ropes are expected to register the highest growth in the synthetic rope market. Braided synthetic ropes are often preferred over twisted synthetic ropes due to their superior strength, flexibility, and durability. Their braided construction provides better load distribution, higher abrasion resistance, and improved handling, making them suitable for demanding applications in marine, oil & gas, mining, and industrial sectors. These ropes also offer enhanced safety and longer service life, reducing maintenance and replacement costs for end users. The increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance lifting and mooring solutions is further driving the adoption of braided synthetic ropes.

The cranes segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR in the end-use industry during the forecast period.

The crane industry is expected to register the highest growth rate in the synthetic rope market, driven by increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength, and safer lifting solutions. Synthetic ropes offer advantages such as reduced weight, easier handling, and improved worker safety compared to conventional steel wire ropes. The growing use of mobile, offshore, and tower cranes in construction, mining, and marine applications is further driving the adoption of synthetic ropes. Synthetic ropes offer excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance, resulting in lower maintenance requirements and a longer service life. These benefits, coupled with rising infrastructure development and industrial activities, are expected to accelerate demand from the crane industry.

Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in terms of value during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to register the highest growth rate in the synthetic rope market, driven by rapid industrialization and expanding maritime, fishing, and offshore activities across countries such as China, India, Japan, and Southeast Asian nations. Rising investments in infrastructure, oil & gas exploration, and renewable energy projects are increasing the demand for high-strength, lightweight synthetic ropes. The region’s growing aquaculture and shipping industries are also driving the adoption of durable and corrosion-resistant rope materials. Increasing defense expenditures and the presence of a large manufacturing base also support market expansion. Favorable economic growth and technological advancements in rope production further strengthen the region’s strong growth prospects.

$800,000 in Grants will Fund Community-Led and Publicly Engaged Digital Projects

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026 ACLS Digital Justice Grants.

Made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation, the ACLS Digital Justice Grant Program supports digital projects across the humanities and social sciences that critically engage with the interests and histories of people of color and other historically marginalized communities through the ethical use of digital tools and methods. The program also prioritizes projects that bolster the local ecosystem of digital humanities at their academic, community, or cultural heritage institutions, thereby creating opportunities for scholars, especially those within historically underfunded fields, to pursue innovative, diverse digital scholarship. In 2026 ACLS proudly celebrates 100 years of grantmaking to individual scholars.

For 2026, eight start-up projects have been awarded ACLS Digital Justice Seed Grants of up to $25,000, and seven established projects have been awarded ACLS Digital Justice Development Grants of up to $100,000. All grantees will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Nonprofit Finance Fund on developing a long-term financial plan for their projects.

“From our most competitive and disciplinarily diverse pool of applications to date, the projects funded this year represent the breadth of what ACLS imagines ‘digital justice’ to entail,” noted Keyanah Nurse, Senior Program Officer of Intentional Design for an Equitable Academy (IDEA) Programs. “Novel methodological frameworks such as histofuturism, community-centered uses of tools such a LiDAR scanning, and critical interventions into questions around data sovereignty contribute to the program’s orientation toward restorative and reparative justice practices.”
