Company to host scientific workshop featuring emerging eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 research data for Alzheimer's disease detection and staging

FREMONT, Calif., July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMR), a leader in precision proteomics dedicated to enabling the earliest detection of disease, today announced that its NULISA platform will be featured in more than 140 poster and session presentations at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC), taking place July 12-15 in London. The volume of data reflects widespread adoption of NULISA and ARGO? HT technology among researchers studying Alzheimer's and related dementias.

"With more than 140 posters and presentations featuring NULISA, over four times the number at the previous AAIC, we're seeing just how quickly the field has embraced multiplex protein profiling with NULISA for Alzheimer's research," said Steve Williams, MD, PhD, chief scientific officer at Alamar. "Our workshop this year goes beyond pTau-217 to show what's possible when you can measure tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration markers together in one workflow."

Alamar will host a workshop titled, "Beyond p-tau217: Expanding Alzheimer's Insights with Multiplex Protein Profiling" during AAIC on Tuesday, July 14, 1:20-2:00 PM BST. The program will showcase new data generated on Alamar's NULISA platform, specifically on its eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 assays. Highlights include:

eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 represent two of the most specific blood-based indicators of Alzheimer's disease identified to date and were measured alongside more than 220 disease-related proteins on a single NULISAseq panel.

Evidence that measuring BD-pTau217 and eMTBR-Tau improves discrimination across the Alzheimer's continuum compared to single-analyte pTau-217 measurement alone and data supporting the use of combined amyloid and tau biomarkers to enable earlier detection and more precise disease staging.

Applications of the NULISA platform across presymptomatic, prodromal, and diagnosed Alzheimer's populations.

"The ability to measure eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 alongside a broad panel of CNS-relevant proteins in a single workflow gives us a resolution on tau pathology and disease staging that single-marker assays can't match. We believe this kind of multiplex data is what will move the field past pTau-217 as the default readout," said Thomas K. Karikari, PhD, Director of the Biomarker and Neurogenetics Core at the University of Pittsburgh.

The Alzheimer's Association International Conference is the world's premier forum for the scientific community focused on dementia and Alzheimer's research. Every year, the conference gathers leading experts, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to share the latest discoveries, foster collaborations, and accelerate the quest for effective diagnostics and therapies.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA- Media OutReach Newswire - 9 July 2026 - On July 4, 2026, the cultural exchange event Encounter & Insight: Dialogue Between Ningbo, China and Colombo, Sri Lanka took place in Colombo.

On July 4, 2026, the cultural exchange event Encounter & Insight: Dialogue Between Ningbo, China and Colombo, Sri Lanka took place in Colombo.

Separated by thousands of miles, the two millennia-old port cities reconnected, leveraging their ports as a bond and cultural exchanges as a cohesive force to hold in-depth talks on integrated port-city development and bilateral economic and trade connectivity.

This cross-Indian Ocean dialogue echoes the ancient Maritime Silk Road while charting a brand-new outbound development path. As a pivotal starting port of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, Ningbo is building a new global trade landscape powered by smart manufacturing.

A thousand years ago, merchant vessels from Mingzhou Port set sail southward loaded with Yue Kiln celadon porcelain, passing through Ceylon to deliver Oriental crafts across the Indian Ocean coasts. Precious gemstones and spices traveled the same sea route back to regions south of the Yangtze River, laying the groundwork for the earliest cultural exchange between the two ports through trade. Today, the cargo carried by giant cargo ships has undergone a dramatic transformation. Beyond traditional daily necessities, intelligent equipment, digital home appliances and industrial robots now dominate shipments.

Official statistics show that Ningbo's exports of intelligent equipment, including mechanical arms and industrial robots, hit 440 million yuan in 2025, surging more than 40% year-on-year. From January to May this year, Ningbo's exports of mechanical and electrical products maintained steady growth, reaching 247 billion yuan, a 4.1% year-on-year increase and accounting for 58.0% of the city's total export volume. The new energy foreign trade sector saw explosive growth, with exports of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products jumping 138.4% year-on-year, with electric vehicle exports skyrocketing 215.9%. Smart manufactured goods are continuously expanding the scope of Ningbo's foreign trade.

Complementing the Colombo forum, an exhibition highlights Ningbo's outstanding going-global enterprises and their products, vividly illustrating the profound shift in Ningbo's trade structure.

Alongside time-honored Maritime Silk Road staples such as celadon porcelain and silk, Ningbo's smart manufactured products-including AI translation glasses, intelligent outdoor gear and digital small home appliances-occupy prominent display spaces across the venue. In Sri Lanka, Ningbo smart water meters are widely adopted nationwide, while handheld cooling fans and intelligent kitchen appliances have entered ordinary households.

Leveraging Colombo Port's transshipment advantages, massive volumes of Ningbo smart manufactured goods are distributed onward to Europe, the Middle East and beyond. What Ningbo exports today is no longer mere commodities, but a complete outbound solution integrating technology, brand value and after-sales services.

Faced with mounting challenges including homogeneous global market competition and rising trade barriers, Ningbo's manufacturing sector has abandoned the old model of low-cost OEM production, relying on intelligent transformation to consolidate its competitive edge in overseas markets.

Over more than a decade of digital transformation efforts, Ningbo has achieved full digital upgrading of all industrial enterprises above designated size. A large number of local factories have built unmanned black-light workshops and flexible production lines, escaping vicious price competition through continuous technological iteration. Represented by five specialized, sophisticated, distinctive and innovative enterprises dubbed Ningbo's "Five Little Tigers"- famous for their core proprietary technologies, including highly sophisticated visual inspection equipment, heat-resistant materials, sun-proof coatings, puncture-proof materials and self-drilling fasteners?these niche manufacturers have developed differentiated technical routes and full-spectrum production capacity, cementing irreplaceable competitiveness for Ningbo smart manufacturing on global markets.

Beyond trade expansion, Ningbo has built a supporting cultural communication system to ensure "products go global, accompanied by local culture".

The launch of Sri Lanka's first "One-Meter Cultural Space" cultural station during the Colombo event marks a tangible milestone of Ningbo's go-global initiative. Built on enterprises' overseas outlets, these miniature cultural exhibition halls integrate intangible cultural heritage crafts, urban stories and smart products, enabling overseas clients to experience cutting-edge manufacturing while gaining insight into Ningbo's profound cultural heritage.

During the twin-city story-sharing session, Ningbo entrepreneurs based in Sri Lanka and local designers blending Chinese and Sri Lankan aesthetics shared stories of bilateral exchanges. Economic and trade ties have evolved into a bond for people-to-people communication, bridging divides in cross-cultural trade.

From Tang-dynasty celadon porcelain sailing across the Indian Ocean to intelligent equipment shipping to every corner of the globe, Ningbo, the ancient Maritime Silk Road port, has preserved its enduring gene of openness. Where exchanges once relied purely on commodity trade, today smart manufacturing underpins a stable, diversified and high-value-added global trade network.

The Ningbo-Colombo dialogue stands as a vivid microcosm of this transformation: the port still links lands and seas, yet the core of its trade has undergone a full intelligent upgrade.

Rooted in its historical legacy as a key Maritime Silk Road hub, Ningbo has consolidated its industrial foundation through a decade of digital development, expanded global market reach via worldwide port networks, and softened trade cooperation through cultural exchanges. This brand-new outbound shipping route forged by smart manufacturing has not only reshaped the city's foreign trade landscape, but also delivered a replicable port-city development model for Chinese manufacturing to go global.

Advancing Healthcare Through Materials Science and Manufacturing Innovation

Wayne, PA, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TekniPlex recently announced the winners of its FY2026 TeknoVation Awards. This year, more than 30 projects were nominated from across TekniPlex's two divisions, from multiple regions and functions. Projects were evaluated based on innovation, problem-solving, business impact, measurable results and scalability. 

As an important part of TekniPlex global innovation system, the TeknoVation Awards encourage teams to combine materials science and manufacturing technologies with market needs, accelerating innovation from technical development to real-world applications.

This year's three winning projects - all from the Healthcare Division, include a multi-process universal PVC compound, recyclable barrier blister packaging, and weldable tubing for biopharmaceutical applications. Together, they demonstrate TekniPlex Healthcare's capabilities in materials, manufacturing processes, sustainability and high-performance healthcare applications.

First Place: Universal PVC Compound Enabling Multi-Process Manufacturing

The first-place project developed a proprietary PVC compounding process that enables one universal PVC compound to perform reliably across multiple processing platforms, including:

Sheet and film extrusionTube extrusion Injection molding

This breakthrough was achieved through a fully integrated development approach encompassing blending, compounding, and pelletization technology to optimize material rheology rather than changing formulation chemistry for a specific process. The result is "One Compound, Multiple Processing Capabilities."

This innovation can reduce repeated qualification work associated with different material formulations, lower qualification costs and shorten time to market. It can also improve process consistency across manufacturing locations and processing platforms while increasing the utilization of existing equipment and production resources.

The project has entered the commercialization stage and is beginning to support customer manufacturing applications. It demonstrates TekniPlex Healthcare's ability to closely connect materials development and manufacturing innovation with practical customer needs.

Second Place: Recyclable Mid-Barrier Peelable PP Lidding

The second-place project is a patented solution developed for pharmaceutical blister packaging applications requiring moisture and / or oxygen barrier. It combines a peelable polypropylene (PP) lidding with a coextruded PP and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) structure for thermoforming into blisters, allowing for the entire blister package to be recycled where recycling infrastructure exists. All while maintaining the barrier, sealing, opening and product-protection performance required for pharmaceutical applications.

Traditional aluminum-based blister packaging generally uses multi-material laminated structures, which can be difficult to recycle. This project provides a new technical approach that can reduce the use of aluminum-based materials and complex laminated structures while maintaining the practical performance required for pharmaceutical packaging. It is designed to balance sustainability with functionality.

As the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) advances, and as pharmaceutical and healthcare companies place greater emphasis on recyclable packaging, demand is growing for sustainable packaging solutions that offer both proven performance and scalability.

The technology has been patented and is ready for scale-up. Customer qualification and commercialization activities are currently underway.

The project demonstrates TekniPlex Healthcare's ability to integrate materials innovation, packaging technology, regulatory trends and commercialization into a single solution.

Third Place: BioPharm Weldable Tubing

The third-place project developed a next-generation weldable tubing platform for biopharmaceutical applications. Made from a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer, the product combines several critical performance attributes within one tubing system:

High clarity for easier observation of fluid conditionsSuperior pump performance with minimized particulate generation during pumpingLow extractables and leachablesEnhanced weld strength and reliabilityFast, secure and stable sealing

Biopharmaceutical fluid-transfer systems place demanding requirements on material purity, tubing connections, pump life and operational reliability. These attributes are often difficult to achieve simultaneously in a single material.

By combining formulation development, materials technology and precision extrusion, the project created a differentiated tubing platform with a strong overall performance profile.

Supported by TekniPlex Healthcare's global manufacturing footprint and its vertically integrated capabilities from materials development through tubing extrusion, the product can better support quality, batch-to-batch consistency and supply continuity. It also establishes a new technology platform for TekniPlex Healthcare's expansion into biopharmaceutical applications.

Turning Innovation into Scalable Industry Solutions

This year's winning projects reflect several of the healthcare industry's most important innovation priorities: increasing manufacturing flexibility, reducing qualification complexity, advancing recyclable pharmaceuticalpackaging without compromising product protection, and improving the performance and reliability of materials used in biopharmaceutical processing.

Together, these projects show how TekniPlex connects materials science, process development, application expertise and commercialization discipline to solve real customer challenges. From compounding and formulation to packaging structures and precision extrusion, TekniPlex is turning technical innovation into commercially viable solutions that can scale across global healthcare markets.

TekniPlex will continue to focus on listening to customer needs and industry trends while accelerating innovation in materials, products and manufacturing processes.

New software brings stability, impedance, noise and jitter analysis into a single workflow for 4 Series B, 5 Series B, and 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

BEAVERTON, ORE, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Tektronix today introduced its Power Distribution Network (PDN) Analysis Software for 4 Series B, 5 Series B, and 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes. By combining power integrity and signal integrity validation into a single workflow, the solution helps hardware designers evaluate power rail stability, identify sources of noise, and understand how power delivery affects signal performance.

     

The scaling of modern electronic architectures-specifically AI servers, high-performance compute, and advanced automotive electronics-fundamentally alters the demands on power distribution networks. Delivering fast-changing currents of 1000 A or higher and tighter voltage tolerances, these modern power networks must respond to rapid transient step loads without causing bit errors on critical high-speed data links.

  

Historically, validation teams have diagnosed the stability of these PDNs using frequency-domain measurements on standalone vector network analyzers. While effective for small-signal measurements, these workflows cannot capture real-world performance under active, high-current load conditions. They also require engineers to access voltage regulator feedback loops, which are often inaccessible in modern designs.

  

Step-load measurements better reflect the dynamic conditions under which today's power distribution networks operate and do not require access to voltage regulator feedback. Building on the Stability Evaluation for Power Integrity Analysis (SEPIA) methodology pioneered by Picotest, Tektronix is the first to embed SEPIA directly into an oscilloscope, enabling engineers to evaluate power supply and voltage regulator behavior using real load-transient conditions without breaking control loops and modifying boards.

"The boundary between power integrity and signal integrity has become a primary bottleneck in hardware validation," said Daryl Ellis, Vice President and General Manager, Signal Acquisition and Analysis Portfolio. "By bringing time-domain stability analysis into the oscilloscope, engineers can evaluate power distribution network behavior under real operating conditions and better understand how power integrity affects signal performance."

Integrating power integrity analysis natively into the oscilloscope 

The PDN Analysis Software consolidates critical validation methodologies within the oscilloscope interface, utilizing the instrument's multi-channel architecture to support power distribution network validation. 

Large signal transient stability analysis: SEPIA extracts phase margin, damping characteristics, and equivalent electrical circuit models directly from a typical high-speed step load response in as little as 500 microseconds without breaking control loops or modifying boards.

Native 2-port shunt-through impedance: Supports automated multi-channel 2-port impedance profiling from 10 Hz to 50 MHz using the internal function generator. 

Power-supply-induced jitter correlation: Cross-correlates periodic timing variations in high-speed serial waveforms directly with power supply rail noise, allowing designers to evaluate how power rail noise contributes to signal degradation. 

Noise spectrum and automated rejection measurements: Typically features 85 dB of automated Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) metrics to quantify regulator noise attenuation, combined with multi-channel spectrum analysis to isolate rail noise sources.   

A unified approach to power integrity analysis 

Engineers rely on oscilloscopes for system-level visibility and debug. PDN Analysis Software extends those capabilities by bringing advanced power integrity measurements into the oscilloscope environment. When paired with Tektronix low-noise oscilloscopes and power rail probes, the software helps teams evaluate stability, identify sources of noise, and better understand how power delivery affects signal performance within a familiar workflow, creating a unified power integrity solution.

  

Availability 

PDN Analysis Software is available immediately worldwide as an instrument option or an application bundle upgrade for all Tektronix 4 Series B, 5 Series B, and 6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes. For more information, visit tek.com.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 July 2026 - AIA Group Limited ("AIA" or the "Group") is proud to unveil the winners of the fourth annual AIA Healthiest Schools Competition, a flagship initiative of the AIA Healthiest Schools programme ("AHS") which empowers students aged five to 16 to turn healthy living into everyday action.

Since its launch in 2022, AHS has continued to scale its impact across the region, expanding to 10 Asia-Pacific markets. The programme supports schools and communities in embedding health and wellbeing into the lives of young people, across four pillars: Healthy Eating, Active Lifestyles, Mental Wellbeing and Health & Sustainability.

The 2025/26 competition attracted a record number of entries, reflecting the growing momentum of the programme and the increasing commitment of educators and young people to drive wellbeing initiatives in their communities.

Entries demonstrated how schools are generating breakthrough ideas and turning healthy habits into daily routines that influence behaviour across classrooms, families and communities, with many showing sustained impact over time.

Stuart A. Spencer, AIA Group Chief Marketing Officer and Head of the AHS Competition Judging Panel, said, "The AIA Healthiest Schools Competition is one of the leading programmes of its kind in Asia and is helping young people take ownership of their health by turning knowledge into action.

Across the region, we are seeing rising levels of inactivity, poorer nutrition, and increasing mental health pressures among young people and the evidence shows that early intervention can make a lasting difference. Through this programme, students are developing healthier habits and essential life skills such as creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.

This programme goes far beyond awareness - it is driving lasting behaviour change and is a powerful manifestation of our Purpose of helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.

Congratulations to our Regional Winner, SMP IL Kapten Fatubaa from Indonesia and the pillar winners. Your shining examples will inspire countless others across the region, shaping a healthier future for young people all over Asia."

The winners were honoured at a regional awards ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand, where a total prize pool of US$100,000 was awarded to support schools' ongoing health and wellbeing initiatives.

In a remote border village where students cross rivers and rugged terrain to reach school, SMP IL Kapten Fatubaa transformed a local waste challenge into a powerful learning opportunity. Through its "Huka Upcycling Project," students convert banana peel waste into ice cream, compost, and liquid fertiliser - combining science education with entrepreneurship and community impact. The initiative has benefited over 1,000 people, strengthening environmental literacy, supporting local farmers, and fostering cross-border collaboration.

New standalone offering extends Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist beyond Zoom Phone, bringing AI-powered call handling capabilities to any existing phone system

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) today announced a standalone offering for Zoom Virtual Agent (ZVA) Receptionist, enabling organizations to add an AI-powered front desk to their existing phone system without requiring Zoom Phone, helping organizations improve customer responsiveness, extend business availability, and capture more opportunities.

For many businesses, inbound calls are opportunities to win a customer, book an appointment, or strengthen an existing relationship. Yet according to research, 71% of consumers find calling a business more stressful than the issue they're trying to resolve, and 50% say they would switch to a competitor after a single bad experience.

With Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist, organizations can provide fast, always-available customer assistance through natural, conversational AI that answers calls, assists customers, and routes inquiries around the clock. With support for more than 10 languages, built-in live transcription, appointment scheduling, and intelligent call routing, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps businesses deliver responsive customer experiences while enabling employees to focus on the conversations that matter most.

"Businesses shouldn't have to replace their phone system to benefit from AI," said Chris Moss, general manager of Zoom Phone. "Every inbound call is an opportunity to serve a customer or nurture a prospect. With the standalone Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist offering, organizations can quickly add an AI-powered front desk to their existing systems, helping them answer more calls, respond faster, and stay available around the clock."

Extending AI Receptionist capabilities beyond Zoom Phone

Originally introduced as part of Zoom Phone, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist is now available across existing business phone systems, making it easier for organizations to adopt AI without changing their communications infrastructure.

Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps organizations:

Answer and greet every caller with natural, conversational AI in multiple languages.

Resolve common customer needs by answering business questions, scheduling appointments, and providing after-hours support.

Connect customers to the right person with intelligent call routing and seamless handoff when human assistance is needed.

Organizations can now add an AI-powered front desk without changing their existing phone system, making it easier to improve customer responsiveness while preserving existing technology investments and avoiding major migrations.

Whether supporting a retail store, healthcare practice, law office, or growing small business, Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist helps ensure every caller receives timely, professional assistance while enabling employees to remain focused on serving customers.

Helping organizations capture every opportunity.

Since every inbound call has the potential to generate new business, appointments, or revenue, responsiveness is key to maintaining a competitive edge. During busy periods, after hours, or when employees are focused on helping customers in person, businesses often struggle to respond as quickly as customers expect.

By bringing AI receptionist capabilities to existing phone systems, Zoom is helping organizations improve responsiveness, extend business availability, and create better first impressions without disrupting the technology they already trust.

Available now

Standalone Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist is available for purchase online beginning today, starting at $29.99 USD per month/100 minutes, or $24.99 USD per month/100 minutes with annual billing. To learn more, visit Zoom.com.

Organizations can also explore Zoom Virtual Agent Receptionist through a free trial program available to both new and existing customers.

The partnership advances IPC's strategy centered on compliance, connectivity, and community by broadening its ecosystem of regulation-ready communications solutions for trading, enterprise voice, and collaboration platforms.

As financial firms shift toward hybrid and cloud-based communications, maintaining consistent compliance oversight across fragmented channels has become more complex.

The platform also delivers advanced AI functionality such as automatic conduct risk detection and persona-based summaries. All of this is designed to support compliance with global regulatory standards.

"At IPC, our strategy is built around Compliance, Connectivity, and Community," said Vimal Vel, Chief Product Officer, IPC. "This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver scalable, regulation-ready recording across modern communications environments. As firms adopt new technologies, they must maintain consistent oversight, and we are enabling that with confidence and resilience."

Integrated within IPC's global Connectivity infrastructure, Luware Recording enables seamless recording across interconnected trading and enterprise environments, helping firms unify compliance without compromising performance or user experience.

"Luware Recording is designed for highly regulated industries. By combining IPC's global connectivity with our cloud-based capture and analytics, clients gain a single compliance layer across all trader voice and collaboration platforms," said Alex Grafetsberger, Chief Business Officer, Luware Recording.

The partnership also reinforces IPC's commitment to supporting the broader financial markets community, delivering trusted and secure infrastructure that promotes transparency, accountability, and operational integrity across market participants.

About ocrelizumab

Ocrelizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody designed to target CD20-positive B cells, which are believed to play a role in the autoimmune activity associated with multiple sclerosis. Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. In the U.S., the intravenous formulation is marketed as Ocrevus, while the subcutaneous formulation is marketed separately as Ocrevus Zunovo (ocrelizumab and hyaluronidase-ocsq). In the EU, both formulations carry the single brand name Ocrevus.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and progressive disease of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the loss of myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, disrupts the transmission of electrical signals to and from the brain, leading to a wide range of symptoms.

MS affects people differently. Symptoms can fluctuate, with periods of worsening (relapses) followed by partial or full recovery (remission). Over time, some patients may also experience a gradual progression of disability.

Common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling, walking difficulties, spasticity, dizziness, and vision problems, among others.

HAIKOU, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 July 2026 - The IWUF 4th Taolu World Cup successfully wrapped up in Haikou, Hainan, China, on July 8, 2026. The competition featured 11 men's and 11 women's events, covering four major categories, including fist routines, long weapons, short weapons, and duilian. Over two days, a total of 22 gold medals were contested.

The Taolu World Cup is one of the six flagship official events of the IWUF (International Wushu Federation) and stands as the highest-level and most influential elite professional competition in the global taolu discipline. This November, wushu will make its historic debut as an official medal sport at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, marking the first time this traditional Chinese martial art has been incorporated into the Olympic sports program.

This event marked the first high-level international wushu single-discipline competition hosted by Hainan since the inception of the Hainan Free Trade Port. It attracted 206 athletes, team leaders, and coaches from 29 countries and regions worldwide, including 117 elite competitors. Ultimately, athletes from 18 countries and regions secured medals with their outstanding competitive performances.

Leveraging the unique geographical and policy advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port, combined with visa-free access for citizens of 86 countries and the 240-hour transit visa-exemption policy, overseas participants, technical officials, and media personnel have enjoyed fast-track customs clearance. Meanwhile, specialized competition equipment has benefited from zero-tariff treatment and simplified cross-border customs clearance procedures.

Hainan boasts a rich and distinctive wushu culture. Through centuries of inheritance and development, it has integrated the essence of various martial arts schools and blended them with local island folklore and regional characteristics to form a unique "Qiong-style" wushu system. Two counties and one city in Hainan, namely Tunchang, Qiongzhong, and Wanning, have been designated as "National Wushu Hometowns," reflecting a deep-rooted local tradition of martial arts appreciation. Indigenous fighting styles such as the Li ethnic group's Li Family Fist, Tunchang Pochen Five-Form Stakes, and Wanning Mazai Kung Fu have been passed down through generations, standing as treasured gems of Hainan's folk culture.

During the event, Hainan concurrently hosted the inaugural Hainan International Wushu Culture Month event, featuring multiple "wushu + tourism" travel routes. These activities allowed domestic and international guests to enjoy Hainan's island scenery and duty-free shopping benefits while taking in high-level wushu competitions.

Looking ahead, Hainan will continue to deeply integrate wushu elements into its sports-tourism product system, developing a range of wushu-themed tourist destinations, study and research bases, and signature events. This will make "spectator travel" a new model for Hainan's cultural tourism. At the same time, Hainan will continue to promote the hosting of various international wushu competitions, training camps, professional development programs, and cultural exchange activities, attracting wushu enthusiasts and professional teams from around the world to compete, train, and study in Hainan, with the goal of establishing the island as a global hub for wushu development and cultural exchange.

Separately, the 43rd Executive Committee Meeting of the IWUF has decided that Haikou City in Hainan Province will host the 12th Sanda World Cup.

At Shenzhen Port Global Supply Chain High-Quality Development Conference 2026

Unlocking Global Network Synergies to Build a Stable and Efficient Supply Chain

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 July 2026 - At the Shenzhen Port Global Supply Chain High-Quality Development Conference 2026, Midea Group (Midea), the global smart home and technology giant, and Hutchison Port Holdings Limited (Hutchison Ports), the world's leading port investor, developer, and operator, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Guided by the shared vision of "Benefitting from New APEC Opportunities, Forging a New Future for Port and Shipping Cooperation", the two parties will deepen their global strategic partnership over the next two years, combining their respective strengths and resources to co-create a highly resilient, efficient, and mutually beneficial global supply chain ecosystem.

In response to the evolving global trade landscape, these two industry leaders are actively collaborating to bring together their strategic assets and global networks. Midea's expanding manufacturing footprint overseas seamlessly aligns with Hutchison Ports' extensive network of global port resources, establishing a perfect synergy particularly in key markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, Egypt, Vietnam and Mexico. As Midea accelerates its international expansion, its global logistics requirements are experiencing robust growth. This partnership will secure global maritime logistics corridors for Midea, ensuring stable and efficient delivery. Concurrently, Midea's continuously growing cargo volumes will significantly boost throughput across Hutchison Ports' terminals, in turn attracting more international shipping routes to call at its facilities.

Lewis Fu, President of Midea International, said "Under our globalisation strategy, securing reliable logistics services is fundamental to Midea's sustained business growth. We are delighted to deepen our collaboration with Hutchison Ports. Through practical initiatives, such as data integration and priority lanes during peak seasons, we can further enhance supply chain synergy and operational efficiency. This gives us full confidence in steadily achieving our global shipping target of 1.5 million TEUs by 2027."

Eric Ip, Group Managing Director of Hutchison Ports, said "As a world-leading technology enterprise, Midea Group is an incredibly valued strategic partner for Hutchison Ports. Midea's massive and rapidly growing export volumes will inject strong momentum into our terminals. By leveraging our high-efficiency operational standards, advanced digital capabilities, and tailored service frameworks, we will provide reliable logistical support for Midea's global expansion, establishing a new benchmark for industry collaboration."

Under the MoU, this deepened collaboration will initially be launched using Hutchison Ports' Yantian International Container Terminals (YANTIAN) as a key strategic anchor point, focusing on the following areas:

Green Logistics and Digitalization Construction: Both parties will actively explore sustainable transport solutions that comply with local regulations and authorities. By integrating Midea's business system with YANTIAN's terminal operating system, they will achieve real-time information sharing and seamless workflow connectivity, significantly enhancing cargo handling and transport efficiency.

Port Operation Support: Addressing industry choke points such as peak-season logistical delays and capacity constraints, Hutchison Ports will open priority lanes for Midea during peak seasons. This will expedite the pick-up, return, and reloading of Midea's cargo, ensuring highly efficient dispatch operations and reinforcing the stability of Midea's supply chain.

Port Extension Services and Multimodal Transportation: The partners will jointly develop rail freight solutions connecting inland Chinese ports to YANTIAN, alongside comprehensive terminal logistics support including container yards, warehousing, and other value-added services.

Looking ahead, Midea and Hutchison Ports aim to progressively scale up the successful collaboration model established at YANTIAN across Hutchison Ports' vast global network. Both parties will continue to strengthen their strategic alignment on a global level, jointly exploring innovative green and digital logistics solutions to set a new benchmark for smarter, greener, and more resilient global supply chains.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EarthDaily today announced successful initial contact with EDC-08 following its launch aboard SpaceX's Transporter-17 mission on July 7, marking Launch III for the EarthDaily Constellation and bringing the system to the satellite count required for commercial operations.

Like each spacecraft in the EarthDaily Constellation, EDC-08 carries 16 imagers collecting data across 22 spectral bands, giving the system the spectral depth and imaging capacity needed to support consistent, comparable measurements across regions, seasons, and time.

The announcement builds on the May deployment of EDC-02 through EDC-07, which are now progressing through commissioning and returning initial imagery. Released alongside today's announcement, these images provide an early view of performance across multiple satellites.

"EDC-08 reaching orbit and establishing initial contact is another important step in the disciplined deployment of the EarthDaily Constellation," said Don Osborne, CEO of EarthDaily. "With eight satellites now in orbit, seven progressing through commissioning, and initial imagery returning from the May launch, the system is performing as expected."

The newly released images offer a look at the consistency and detail the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver. While calibration and validation work continues, they show multiple satellites contributing to a common measurement system built for reliable broad-area monitoring and repeatable analysis at scale using AI and Machine Learning.

"The EarthDaily Constellation is engineered for data consistency," added Osborne. "Variability in atmospheric conditions, viewing geometry, and sensor calibration can introduce noise that compounds across time-series analysis and makes data harder to trust in AI workflows. EarthDaily addresses this at the system level through tightly controlled geometric and radiometric calibration, high signal-to-noise ratios, and spectral alignment with Sentinel and Landsat archives, helping to ensure the resulting data is ready for any AI application for Earth monitoring and that detected change reflects real-world events."

Purpose-built for broad-area change detection, the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver globally consistent, calibrated daily measurement of the planet. EDC imagery, optimized for time-series analysis and direct integration into AI workflows, is designed to work with EarthDaily's automated change detection analytics to identify meaningful change across wide areas, from aircraft and ships in harbors to roads and infrastructure, and help customers decide where to focus attention next.

This approach moves Earth observation beyond static imagery and toward decision-centric intelligence. As EDC-08 reaches orbit and additional satellites prepare for launch, each step advances the constellation toward daily global land coverage as a continuous measurement layer for monitoring change at scale across defense and security, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience, and infrastructure.

54 teams from 21 nations on the starting blocks for 13th edition

MONACO, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hundreds of young engineers have taken over Quai Louis II in the YCM Marina to showcase their prototypes at the 13th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, organised by Yacht Club de Monaco, supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, UBS, BMW, SBM Offshore, Monaco City Hall, NatPower H, and ESA NanoTech.

The programme has already kicked off with the Job Forum dedicated to exchanges between students, recent graduates and major maritime industry players to encourage meetings, work opportunities and sharing knowledge.

Now a major international event focused on sustainable maritime technologies, the Challenge brings together emerging engineering talent and key industry players, such as Safe Harbor, Oceanco, Ferretti Group, Azimut | Benetti Group, and L?rssen, through to 11 July.

The first event begins tomorrow with the E-Boat Rally, a warm-up before the official opening ceremony. Over the next four days, the programme includes conferences, Tech Talks, demonstrations and on-water contests that will bring students, researchers and professionals into direct contact with each other.

Located on the Jacques Boissy Esplanade and Lucciana Jetty and open to the public free of charge from Thursday to Saturday, the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge Village will also offer visitors the chance to discover the prototypes, interact with teams from around the world, and follow the races up close. "The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge is unique on many levels, both ashore and at sea. With every edition we're able to measure the progress made and open up new horizons for yachting's future. Competitors, professionals and the public mingle in a spirit that promotes dialogue and knowledge sharing," says Yacht Club de Monaco Director and General Secretary Bernard d'Alessandri.

A real-world laboratory

Divided into the Energy Class, AI Class, SeaLab Class, and Open Sea Xperience, the teams are ready for action. They will be competing in contests ranging from speed, endurance, slalom and manoeuvrability trials to autonomous navigation and the E-Boat Rally. All technologies are put to the test under identical conditions turning the event into a genuine open-air laboratory where performance is assessed on both energy efficiency and reliability of the systems developed.

The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge plays a crucial role in driving the transition to sustainable energy, reducing the environmental impact of maritime activities, and inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators. Our commitment to promoting renewable energy solutions and environmental protection aligns perfectly with the objectives of this innovative event organised by the Yacht Club de Monaco," says Peter L?rssen, CEO of L?rssen.

Methanol enters the contest

Having fuelled discussions at last year's conferences, methanol is set to compete at the 13th edition which confirms the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge's openness to an ever-expanding range of decarbonisation solutions in the wake of electricity and hydrogen technologies. The SURGE Methanol Foiling Team Twente project (University of Twente) exemplifies this evolution with a methanol-electric hydrofoil boat featuring a 5 kW reformed-methanol fuel cell, optimized foil control and a lightweight design.

Two international conferences to progress

As well as on-water demonstrations at sea, the first of two international events, focusing on major transformations taking place in the maritime sector, is on Thursday 9 July. The Advanced Yachting Technology Conference explores emerging technologies applied to yachting, followed Friday 10 July by the 7th Alternative Fuels Conference. Organised by YCM and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, it focuses on a variety of decarbonisation pathways and brings together experts, industry representatives, and researchers to discuss the energy solutions of the future. Meanwhile, Tech Talks are an opportunity for teams to present their projects to an International Jury, industry players and researchers.

Awards reward innovation in all its forms

As well as the on-water results, the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge recognises the most advanced projects with awards decided by the Race Committee and an International Jury. These include the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Sustainable Yachting Technology Award, worth ?25,000, as well as a Jury Prize, Communication Prize and Tech Talks Prizes rewarding innovation, design, and eco-design, and a Rookie Prize for the best debut.

Supported by MarineShift360, the Eco Design prize honours teams that have incorporated a comprehensive life-cycle approach from the very start of the project. Using a life-cycle analysis tool, specifically developed for the maritime industry, participants can assess the environmental impact of their technical choices from materials to propulsion systems.

"The innovations on display at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge are shaping the future of sustainable marine design. Empowering teams to measure and understand the environmental footprint of their vessels from the outset is not just valuable - it's essential. Lifecycle thinking helps us go beyond assumptions, ensuring progress is grounded in data and every design choice moves us closer to truly low-impact marine solutions," explains Lizzy Howard, Project Manager Marine Futures.

The public are invited

Open to the public free of charge from Thursday to Saturday, the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge Village offers visitors a chance to watch the races live, get up close to the prototypes in the paddocks, discover the latest technological innovations, and interact with teams from around the world. Located on the Jacques Boissy Esplanade and Lucciana Jetty, the Village is also where the daily prize-giving ceremonies and a wide range of activities are taking place throughout the event.

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 July 2026 - Ten years after the South China Sea arbitration, CGTN has published an article exploring the story of the Genglubu - a handwritten navigation manual that guided generations of Hainan fishermen long before GPS, shedding light on a chapter of South China Sea history unfamiliar to many outside the region.

Before GPS. Before weather forecasts. Before satellite navigation.

How did generations of Chinese sailors find their way across the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest and most challenging waterways?

A new CGTN documentary, Genglubu: Charting the South China Sea, explores the answer through a little-known ancient navigation manual passed down for generations of fishermen in Tanmen, Hainan Province. The Genglubu recorded routes, compass bearings and sailing distances, helping fishermen navigate reefs, islands and open seas. The documentary follows the fishermen who crossed the sea, the families who preserved their knowledge and a maritime tradition that connected China with Southeast Asia and beyond.

The People Who Brought the Genglubu to Life

To outsiders, the Genglubu looks like a secret code. A single line of just fourteen Chinese characters can contain an entire sea route: the departure point, direction, destination, distance and estimated sailing time.

"Generation after generation, Hainan fishermen rode the waves - not to rule the sea, but to make their living from it."

Xin Lixue, Curator, China (Hainan) Museum of the South China Sea

The documentary follows veteran fishing boat captains whose lives were inseparable from the sea. Wang Shitao first went to sea at the age of nine. At twelve, his fishing boat was caught in a typhoon. Everyone else on board died. Clinging to a piece of floating timber, he drifted alone for three days. Four years later, another violent storm struck. Once again, he was the only survivor. Yet each time, he returned to the sea. Late in life, reflecting on decades spent sailing the South China Sea, he summed up his feelings:

"I love the South China Sea. I hate it. I miss it."

Wang Shitao, fishing boat captain

The sea demanded sacrifice even as it provided a livelihood. A storm or mishap could wipe out an entire crew.

"Children and brothers should never sail on the same boat."

Wang Shubao, fishing boat captain

A Maritime Tradition Connecting Asia

The documentary challenges the common assumption that the Genglubu was only about the South China Sea. Research on the Liang Family Genglubu reveals routes extending to Singapore, Malacca and Indonesia, showing that Hainan fishermen also played a role in regional maritime trade.

"Hainan fishermen also took part in overseas trade."

Zhao Jueqi, China (Hainan) Museum of the South China Sea

Not every route was written in words. Some Genglubu manuscripts contain mountain-and-water charts. They combine sketches of coastlines with compass bearings, water depth and sea conditions. These drawings helped sailors identify islands, reefs and coastlines and determine their position at sea.

"The Americans and the British produced their own navigational records, which identify the Chinese as being engaged very heavily in fishing on these islands and other forms of economic activity."

Anthony Carty, International Law Sholar

Today, satellites, weather stations and lighthouses have transformed navigation across the South China Sea. But the purpose remains the same: helping sailors travel safely and return home. Genglubu: Charting the South China Sea traces a maritime tradition shaped by generations of ordinary people. It is a story of navigation, memory and resilience, one that forms part of the shared maritime heritage of Asia.
