DJI and Cannes-honored Icon Isabelle Reunite Two Women&#039;s Voices Across Centuries &amp;mdash; Shot Entirely on the Osmo Pocket 4P&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, unveiled FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute;, an original short video starring and creatively directed by Isabelle Huppert, and shot in its entirety on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. More than a technology showcase, the video is a meditation on literature, memory, and the quiet familiarity that connects women across time and culture &amp;mdash; and a demonstration of how a camera that fits in the palm of a hand can now carry the full weight of cinematic storytelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute; | Isabelle Huppert &amp;times; DJI Osmo Pocket 4P&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
When Two Uncompromising Visions Meet&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with Isabelle Huppert and DJI&#039;s shared vision together: an uncompromising devotion to the image &amp;mdash; to what can be seen, felt, and left unsaid on screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Across a career spanning more than 120 films, multiple Best Actress honors at Cannes and Venice, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award nomination, Isabelle Huppert has become synonymous with what she conveys without words &amp;mdash; the wordless gaze, the restrained micro-expression, emotion delivered through the subtlest of means. DJI has spent its history pursuing a parallel goal from the engineering side: to capture the finest nuance of light and motion in ever more capable, ever more unobtrusive tools.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute;, those two pursuits came together. Stepping behind the camera, Isabelle Huppert shaped not only her performance but the video&#039;s visual language &amp;mdash; and chose the Osmo Pocket 4P as the instrument to realize it. Discreet and lightweight, the camera all but disappeared on set, letting her work in her most relaxed, unguarded state and giving the production a creative freedom that heavier, more imposing rigs rarely allow.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For Isabelle Huppert, encountering the camera for the first time was a discovery in itself. &quot;It&#039;s the first time I&#039;ve discovered such a tiny camera &amp;mdash; truly quite extraordinary,&quot; she recalls. &quot;It&#039;s almost invisible, and yet it reproduces an image of extraordinary sharpness and precision. Above all, it conveys so well the emotion of a face, and what was happening between us, between my partner and me.&quot; Far from feeling like an intimidating machine, she notes, it never altered her craft &amp;mdash; it remained, simply, a camera. In FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute;, technology does not command the performance; it liberates it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Two Voices, One Familiar Echo&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute; takes its form not from plot, but from poetry. It is a conversation across time between two women who never met, yet each turned a life into the written word.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
George Sand (1804&amp;ndash;1876) claimed her voice in 19th-century France by writing under a man&#039;s name &amp;mdash; a defiance that Isabelle Huppert honors in the video by wearing a man&#039;s tailored suit. Centuries earlier and a world away, the Song-dynasty poet Li Qingzhao (1084&amp;ndash;c.1155) resisted the upheavals of her age through the enduring force of her verse. Both women transformed the pain of a life into language that outlived them.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute; draws these two souls together in light and shadow. George Sand&#039;s &quot;&amp;Agrave; Aurore&quot; runs through the video like a thread, and the encounter culminates in a single, wordless exchange between Isabelle and a young Chinese girl &amp;mdash; an echo of familiarity that crosses both time and culture. Shot amid the shifting sunlight, tree shadows, and water surfaces of a traditional Chinese garden, the video preserves a poetic, almost extraordinary atmosphere in perfect connection with George Sand&#039;s verse. This is not merely a &quot;meeting.&quot; It is a visual narrative about women, expression, and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A Cinematic Language, Built Entirely in the Palm of a Hand&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The video&#039;s artistic ambition is realized through a deliberate cinematographic language made possible by the Osmo Pocket 4P &amp;mdash; its dual lenses becoming the video&#039;s own way of seeing. Again and again, the production found that scenes conceived on the page could be captured precisely because the camera was small enough to go where a full-size cinema rig could not.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A conversation on the water. One of the video&#039;s most intimate exchanges unfolds between Isabelle and her co-star aboard a small rowboat drifting across the garden&#039;s pond. Fitting a traditional cinema camera and its crew into so confined and unsteady a space would have been impossible without breaking the moment. The Osmo Pocket 4P, by contrast, sat naturally within the boat, keeping the two performers close and the frame alive with the gentle motion of the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Fluidity, carried by hand. Much of the video lives in continuous, moving shots &amp;mdash; drifting past figures, tree shadows, bookshelves and door frames, so that every transition becomes a quiet, deliberate gesture. A large share of these were captured handheld by the DP. Thanks to the camera&#039;s pocketable size and 3-axis mechanical stabilization, the operator could move freely and reset between setups in seconds, keeping takes smooth and lifting the pace of the shoot considerably.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Wide latitude for high-contrast light. The garden setting is full of extreme contrast &amp;mdash; bright highlights beside deep, layered shadows, on both the scenery and the human face. With D-Log2 and 17 stops of dynamic range, the Osmo Pocket 4P preserved the full gradation of that light, giving the colorist ample latitude in post and making even the most demanding lighting worry-free.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A portrait lens for the face. To draw the eye toward Isabelle Huppert&#039;s most delicate expressions, the production turned to the 60mm telephoto &amp;mdash; a natural portrait focal length that renders skin cleanly and true, without the distortion of a wide lens, compressing space so that the faintest shift of expression reads with clarity. Wider perspectives (15mm / 20mm) place each character within her space, so that every movement becomes a shift in time and dimension.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Bound together by that stabilization and range of focal lengths, these perspectives flow as one unbroken motion &amp;mdash; and in its remarkably discreet, pocketable form, the Osmo Pocket 4P let the production work closely and intimately with its lead, capturing performance-driven storytelling once reserved for large crews and heavy equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
It reaffirms DJI&#039;s mission: to place uncompromising imaging power in the hands of every storyteller &amp;mdash; and to prove that the size of a camera need never limit the scale of a story.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Bringing the Video to a Global Audience&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
FAMILIARIT&amp;Eacute; has been released across DJI&#039;s official channels accompanied by behind-the-scenes material and creator-focused content exploring both Isabelle Huppert&#039;s artistry and the creative potential of the Osmo Pocket 4P.

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLASSYS (KOSDAQ: 214150), a global medical aesthetics platform company, announced the appointment of Dr. Taek-Soo Kim, a&amp;nbsp;distinguished&amp;nbsp;technology management expert, as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Head of Research and Development.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
CLASSYS continues to recruit and develop world-class talent while&amp;nbsp;bolstering&amp;nbsp;its capabilities across technology, business and global operations to support its global&amp;nbsp;expansion. The appointment of Dr. Taek-Soo Kim as CTO reflects the company&#039;s commitment to strengthening its global technology leadership and preparing for its next phase of growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Last month, CLASSYS launched its &quot;Next Stage&quot; growth strategy with the appointment of Jun-oh Yoon, former Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics, as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). With Dr. Kim joining to execute that strategy within the R&amp;amp;D organization, the company plans to accelerate technological innovation and the development of next-generation products centered on AI, software, and data.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Kim plans to combine CLASSYS&#039;s established energy-based device (EBD) technologies with its extensive clinical and procedural data, applying AI to drive development of next-generation products designed to reshape the market. In particular, he will systematically incorporate feedback from clinicians and key opinion leaders (KOLs) across major global markets into the R&amp;amp;D process. This approach will enhance treatment efficacy, usability, safety, and the overall user experience, enabling CLASSYS to lead the global market with differentiated medical aesthetics technologies and solutions that meet market and customer expectations.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Dr. Kim&#039;s track record of leading large-scale R&amp;amp;D transformation initiatives at leading global technology organizations is expected to accelerate the implementation of CEO Yoon&#039;s global-standard management systems across the R&amp;amp;D organization. Through rigorous risk management and agile execution, CLASSYS will continue building a more agile and efficient R&amp;amp;D culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A CLASSYS spokesperson said, &quot;While CEO Jun-oh Yoon combined an engineer&#039;s deep technical expertise with a strategist&#039;s global perspective to help drive Samsung&#039;s growth, CTO Taek-Soo Kim helped lead R&amp;amp;D transformation and technology innovation at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), the company&#039;s premier advanced research organization. Together, their strengths are expected to help CLASSYS redefine the global medical aesthetics industry and establish itself as a top-tier global company.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
TOKYO, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- UWANT, an innovative smart cleaning appliance brand, has officially launched its latest&amp;nbsp;V700 Pro Self-Emptying Vacuum Cleaner on Japan&#039;s leading crowdfunding platform Makuake. To celebrate the launch, V700 Pro will be available with a limited-time 50% OFF discount during the first 72 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
uwant v700pro&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Following the success of UWANT V800, which achieved the highest historical GMV in Makuake&#039;s vacuum cleaner category, UWANT continues to innovate with V700 Pro &amp;mdash; a lightweight, maintenance-free vacuum cleaner designed for modern Japanese households.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional vacuum cleaners often face challenges such as hair and pet fur becoming tangled around roller brushes, heavy designs that make daily cleaning tiring, and frequent manual dust disposal that may cause secondary dust exposure.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
To address these issues, UWANT V700 Pro features UWANT&#039;s proprietary Sweep Vibration Technology, delivering a new cleaning experience with enhanced hair tangle prevention and effortless maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Key Features of&amp;nbsp;UWANT V700 Pro&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
1.Zero-Tangle Sweep Vibration Brush&lt;br&gt;V700 Pro adopts the same Zero-Tangle Sweep Vibration Brush Technology as the flagship V800. Unlike traditional rotating brushes that easily trap long hair and pet fur, UWANT&#039;s vibration cleaning system helps prevent hair wrapping and reduces the need for frequent manual cleaning.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
2.Ultra-Lightweight Design &amp;mdash; Only 1.04kg&lt;br&gt;Designed for Japanese home environments and everyday cleaning needs, V700 Pro weighs only 1.04kg, approximately equivalent to two 500ml water bottles, allowing users to clean more comfortably with less effort.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
3.Maintenance-Free Cleaning System&lt;br&gt;V700 Pro is equipped with UWANT&#039;s self-developed HEPA Vibration Self-Cleaning Technology, which helps reduce dust accumulation on the filter and maintain stable suction performance. The Sweep Vibration Brush uses a specially designed scraper structure to automatically remove trapped debris and hair. Its all-in-one base station features a 1.5L antibacterial dust bag, supporting up to approximately 90 days of hands-free maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The vacuum also features a 150&amp;deg; Wide-Angle Green Light Dust Detection System, making invisible fine dust visible for more thorough cleaning. With its 180&amp;deg; flat-reach cleaning design, V700 Pro can access spaces as low as 11cm under furniture, while edge-to-edge cleaning helps reduce hard-to-reach areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Combining zero-tangle technology, ultra-lightweight design, intelligent dust detection, and automatic maintenance features, UWANT V700 Pro delivers a smarter and more convenient cleaning solution for Japanese households.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
UWANT V700 Pro is now available exclusively on Makuake Japan with a 72-hour limited 50% OFF launch offer.&lt;br /&gt;

Industry Validation&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Now in its ninth year, the&amp;nbsp;MarTech&amp;nbsp;Breakthrough Awards honor top companies and technologies shaping the future of global marketing technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Brands today face disjointed workflows, pressure to produce multichannel content, and the urgent need to evolve from traditional SEO strategies to GEO and AEO,&quot; said Steve Johansson, Managing Director at&amp;nbsp;MarTech&amp;nbsp;Breakthrough. &quot;PR Newswire has transformed press release distribution into an intelligent, AI-powered platform purpose-built for modern communicators. Likewise, Brandwatch delivers meaningful clarity in an increasingly fragmented social landscape. Both solutions truly embody the spirit of the Breakthrough Awards.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

        <title>Cyble Says the Future of Endpoint Security Goes Beyond Detection, Unveils the Next Evolution of Titan at Black Hat USA 2026</title>

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
New release combines silicon-rooted attestation, AI-native threat intelligence, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction and autonomous response into a unified endpoint security platform for the AI era.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyble today unveiled the next evolution of &lt;a href=&quot;https://titan.cyble.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Cyble Titan&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at Black Hat USA 2026, introducing silicon-rooted attestation alongside AI-native threat intelligence, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction, exposure management and autonomous response in a unified endpoint security platform. Titan helps security teams establish trusted evidence, understand attacks faster and respond with greater confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Cyberattacks have evolved beyond the endpoint. They move across identities, cloud infrastructure, vulnerabilities, external threat ecosystems and increasingly leverage AI. Yet defenders still investigate fragmented telemetry across disconnected tools before understanding the full scope of an attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Titan was built for this new reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike traditional EDR platforms that begin with operating system telemetry, Titan establishes trust through silicon-rooted attestation, then correlates endpoint activity with Cyble&#039;s AI-native threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, attack path context and BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction to create a complete Indicator of Attack. Instead of piecing together isolated alerts, analysts receive a unified understanding of the attack and can investigate, prioritize and respond from a single platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;EDR changed cybersecurity by helping organizations detect attacks. The next generation of endpoint security will be defined by how quickly security teams can understand those attacks and act with confidence,&quot; said Beenu Arora, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyble. &quot;Titan brings together trusted evidence, intelligence, context and response into one platform, giving defenders the clarity to stay ahead of sophisticated threats.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The latest release also expands Titan with device controls, exposure management, AI-native threat intelligence and autonomous, auditable response, bringing together capabilities delivered through multiple security products into a single workflow.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Visitors to Booth 6032 can experience Titan live at Black Hat USA 2026, including demonstrations of silicon-rooted attestation, BlazeAI-powered attack reconstruction, AI-native threat intelligence and autonomous response across the attack lifecycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

TSUKUBA, Japan, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.orbbec.com/jp/home/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Orbbec&lt;/a&gt; presented its &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.orbbec.com/robot-free-data-collection/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Robot-Free Data Collection Hardware Platform&lt;/a&gt; for Physical AI in Japan for the first time at ROSCon JP 2026, marking the platform&#039;s official debut in the Japanese market.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Leveraging its robotics vision expertise and product breadth, Orbbec is among the few data collection platform providers combining multi-sensor fusion, calibration and synchronization, a full-stack vision portfolio, and global mass-production and delivery capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion&#039;s DV3504 hybrid tractor has been shortlisted for two categories of the prestigious Tractor of the Year 2027 (TOTY 2027) awards: HighPower (300 hp and above) and Sustainable.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Launched in 1998 and independently organised by Italy&#039;s agricultural machinery publication Trattori, TOTY is one of the most recognised professional awards in the global agricultural machinery industry. The 2027 edition attracted 23 tractors from 18 global brands, with evaluations conducted by an international jury of 26 independent agricultural machinery journalists from 25 countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The dual-category nomination represents a milestone for Chinese agricultural machinery. The DV3504 is the first Chinese high-horsepower tractor to enter the TOTY shortlist since the award&#039;s establishment, breaking a long-standing gap for Chinese heavy-duty tractors in this globally influential competition. It is also the first Chinese high-horsepower agricultural machine recognised by an international independent jury for its original hybrid and low-carbon technology solution.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Developed to meet the demands of large-scale farming operations, the DV3504 delivers 350 hp and is equipped with Zoomlion&#039;s self-developed MiDD (Meshed intelligent Direct Drive) distributed intelligent electric drive system. Based on a multi-motor direct-drive architecture, the system independently powers the tractor&#039;s travel, PTO and hydraulic functions, enabling modular continuously variable transmission while reducing mechanical transmission components by approximately 70%.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike pure electric solutions that still face challenges in endurance and continuous high-load operation for heavy-duty agricultural applications, hybrid technology provides a balance of long operating range, strong power output and energy efficiency. The DV3504 reflects Zoomlion&#039;s strategic focus on hybrid power and intelligent technologies for premium agricultural equipment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Leveraging technological capabilities accumulated from its construction machinery business, including new energy systems, intelligent control and advanced manufacturing, Zoomlion is accelerating the transformation of agricultural machinery toward higher performance and sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Following its debut at AGRITECHNICA 2025 in Hanover, Germany, Zoomlion has achieved a significant step forward in its global agricultural machinery expansion &amp;mdash; moving from an international exhibitor to a shortlisted contender in a leading global industry award within one year.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The final winners of TOTY 2027 will be announced at EIMA International in Bologna in November 2026.&lt;br /&gt;

・DXC becomes the exclusive managed services partner for Primary&#039;s AI-native Zero Trust Unified Control Plane, helping enterprises securely scale AI.&lt;br&gt;・New joint offering helps businesses and government agencies govern how AI agents and enterprise AI applications access data while strengthening security, identity, and compliance.&lt;br&gt;・DXC&#039;s managed security services deliver consulting, implementation, integration, governance, and ongoing operations to accelerate secure AI adoption.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&amp;nbsp;DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) today announced a strategic partnership with Primary, becoming the exclusive managed services provider for Primary&#039;s AI-native Zero Trust Platform. The joint offering helps enterprises securely deploy and scale AI by governing how AI agents and enterprise AI applications access data, while strengthening security, identity, and compliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;DXC and Primary Launch AI-Native Zero Trust Platform for Enterprise AI&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, they face a new security challenge: governing autonomous AI systems that access sensitive enterprise data. Traditional security models were built for users, devices, and networks&amp;mdash;not AI agents operating across complex enterprise environments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Together, DXC and Primary are addressing that gap with a platform purpose-built for AI security and governance. Delivered through DXC&#039;s global cybersecurity organization, the offering combines consulting, implementation, integration, governance, and managed security services to help customers operationalize AI with greater visibility, control, and trust.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;As enterprises move from AI pilots to production, security and governance must evolve just as quickly,&quot; said Dawn-Marie Vaughan, Cybersecurity Global Offering Lead, DXC Technology. &quot;Trusted AI requires more than securing infrastructure; it requires governing how AI systems access data, identities, and business processes. Together with Primary, we are helping customers bring Zero Trust to enterprise AI, with the visibility, control, and operational confidence needed to move from pilot to production.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Delivered through DXC&#039;s global cybersecurity organization, the offering helps customers:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Secure AI agents and enterprise AI applications&lt;br&gt;・Govern AI access to enterprise data&lt;br&gt;・Strengthen identity and policy enforcement&lt;br&gt;・Reduce risk across enterprise environments&lt;br&gt;・Support compliance and regulatory requirements&lt;br&gt;・Increase visibility across users, applications, data, and AI agents&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The defining security challenge of enterprise AI is not simply seeing what an AI agent is doing&amp;mdash;it is having enough context to determine whether that action should be allowed, as well as the corresponding infrastructure to automate enforcement of that real-time decision,&quot; said Michael Marx, Primary&#039;s Co-Founder + President. &quot;Primary transforms cross-domain telemetry into continuous, context-aware policy enforcement across the full AI workflow. With DXC&#039;s global implementation and managed security expertise, customers can establish a unified control layer that protects sensitive data, reduces operational risk, and enables AI systems to act securely within clearly defined enterprise boundaries.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Designed for organizations operating in highly regulated environments, the platform helps address growing requirements for governance, compliance, data sovereignty, and security. By embedding Zero Trust principles directly into enterprise AI environments, DXC and Primary help customers move from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment with the resilience and control needed to innovate with confidence.

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Seven global tastemakers unite to champion the next generation of gastronomy, bridging the gap between fine food, culture and sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
MILAN, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy has unveiled the seven culinary visionaries who will form the Global Jury for the Grand Finale of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition 2026-27.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9412851-en-cultural-disruptors-culinary-icons-unveiled-global-jury-young-chef-academy-competition-2026-27&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9412851-en-cultural-disruptors-culinary-icons-unveiled-global-jury-young-chef-academy-competition-2026-27&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition was created to identify, mentor and elevate the next generation of chefs who will shape the future of gastronomy. Central to that mission is the Global Jury, a group of internationally respected chefs chosen not only for their culinary achievements, but for the values, perspectives and mentorship they bring to discovering tomorrow&#039;s talent.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
More than judges, this edition&#039;s Global Jury will act as mentors, scouts and champions of emerging talent. As the industry faces rapid evolution, these seven culinary icons will evaluate the world&#039;s most promising talent aged under 30 in Milan. Finalists will be judged against the Academy&#039;s&amp;nbsp;golden rules: technical skills, authentic creativity and a powerful personal belief. This esteemed panel seeks to identify young chefs who view gastronomy not just as an art form, but as a powerful vehicle for social change, environmental responsibility and culinary preservation.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
THE GLOBAL JURY: MENTORS OF THE FUTURE&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Together, the seven jurors represent different cultures, culinary philosophies and approaches to leadership, but they share one belief: the future of gastronomy depends on nurturing chefs who combine technical excellence with creativity, responsibility and purpose. Through mentoring, evaluating and championing the finalists, they play a central role in helping the Academy identify the industry&#039;s next generation of leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Enrico &#039;Chicco&#039; Cerea (Da Vittorio, Italy) &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;Representing the absolute pinnacle of Italian haute cuisine, Cerea has guided Da Vittorio in Brusaporto to three Michelin stars since 2010.

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Martino Ruggieri (Maison Ruggieri, France) &amp;ndash;&amp;nbsp;The brilliant chef-owner of La Maison Ruggieri at the Palais-Royal in Paris, Ruggieri blends his proud Italian heritage with the masterful French techniques he refined as the long-time Executive Chef of three-Michelin-starred Pavillon Ledoyen. The 2017 Bocuse d&#039;Or Italy winner brings elite competitive pedigree to the jury and will evaluate how finalists navigate intense pressure with artistic precision.&amp;nbsp;&quot;Gastronomy is a tension between technical discipline and silent emotion,&quot; he says. &quot;I will be assessing how finalists handle the intense pressure of the arena, turning rigorous classic technique into a deeply personal, artistic statement.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
Featuring the world&#039;s largest single AI data center building, Galaxy Campus integrates renewable energy, intelligent power management and high-density computing at unprecedented scale.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
ULANQAB, China, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision, a global leader in green technology, today announced the commissioning of the Envision Galaxy Campus in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, a next-generation AI infrastructure campus designed to accelerate the deployment of large-scale artificial intelligence. Powered directly by renewable energy and designed to scale to over 2GW of capacity, the campus in Ulanqab introduces a new approach to meeting the growing energy and infrastructure demands of AI.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
At the heart of the campus is a 120,000-square-meter AI supercomputing facility, equivalent to 20 standard football pitches. Once fully operational, it is designed to deliver industry-leading token-generation capacity within a single structure, supported by directly connected renewable electricity and Envision&#039;s proprietary&amp;nbsp;AI Power System.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
At full build-out, the facility&amp;nbsp;is designed to deliver one million PFLOPS of AI computing and support up to one million AI accelerators, setting a new benchmark for compute density in AI infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Supporting a million accelerators requires a purpose-built AI Power System that integrates renewable generation, dedicated transmission infrastructure, and large-scale energy storage to deliver stable, low-cost green power,&quot; said Ricky&amp;nbsp;Zheng, General Manager of Envision&#039;s AIDC (AI Data Center). &quot;This enables the facility to deliver up to ten times more compute output per square meter than conventional data centers.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond power, Envision Galaxy Campus addresses another critical requirement for large-scale, low-latency connectivity. Ulanqab&#039;s position as a major digital infrastructure hub provides the network performance required for AI clusters containing hundreds of thousands of accelerators.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The region&#039;s abundant wind and solar resources provide a complementary advantage. By combining dedicated renewable energy assets, transmission infrastructure and AI-optimized power management, Envision has created a new model for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure powered directly by green electricity.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The next frontier of AI is infrastructure,&quot; added Zheng. &quot;As AI models become larger and more compute-intensive, the limiting factors are increasingly power availability, network performance and energy efficiency. Envision Galaxy Campus combines energy, networking and physical infrastructure at unprecedented scale, enabling hyperscalers, technology companies and AI innovators to deploy and scale the next generation of AI workloads.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The Galaxy Campus serves as the first flagship project under Envision&#039;s global Mission Gobi initiative, which was unveiled at VivaTech in Paris in June 2026. The initiative aims to build 5GW of green AI computing capacity in desert and arid regions worldwide by 2030.&lt;br /&gt;

Culture: Deal signed for joint protection&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
BEIJING, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The 2026 Conference on Hongshan Culture is held in Chaoyang, Northeast China&#039;s Liaoning province, on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Cultural heritage is a living dialogue connecting the past, the present and a shared future, participants at a cultural event said on Wednesday, highlighting the importance of further deepening cooperation to enhance the reach and appeal of Chinese civilization and promote mutual learning among civilizations.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The remarks came as archaeologists, heritage experts, civilization researchers, diplomatic envoys to China and governmental officials gathered for the 2026 Conference on Hongshan Culture in Chaoyang in Northeast China&#039;s Liaoning province, from Wednesday to Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Hongshan culture, a major Neolithic culture dating back 5,000 to 6,500 years, once spanned what is now Liaoning and Hebei provinces and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Xu Kunlin, secretary of the Communist Party of China Liaoning Provincial Committee, said the province actively participates in the national project to trace the origins of Chinese civilization, prioritizes the protection and inheritance of Hongshan culture in its drive to build a culturally strong province, and strives to continuously enhance the influence of Hongshan culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;We have strengthened legislative protection for Hongshan culture&#039;s Niuheliang site in Chaoyang and stepped up academic research by setting up the Hongshan Culture Research Institute, and promoted Hongshan culture beyond Liaoning to the world through a youthful tone and digital forms,&quot; said Xu.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Liaoning is cooperating with other regions to promote a joint bid for World Heritage status, Xu said.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Under the theme of &quot;Hongshan Culture: A Dialogue Between Eras and Civilizations&quot;, participants delivered remarks on the culture&#039;s historical and civilizational significance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Rao Quan, head of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, called for continued efforts to advance the transformation and utilization of archaeological achievements, upgrade the construction and operation of archaeological site parks and thematic museums, launch more high-quality exhibitions and public education activities, and offer diverse public cultural products.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Rao also advocated deeper integration of culture and tourism, calling for using cultural relic resources to develop study tours, travel routes and cultural experience programs, in order to boost public cultural confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It&#039;s important to build a robust global communication network for Hongshan culture, leveraging platforms including international archaeological cooperation, overseas thematic exhibitions and high-level academic dialogues,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, said, &quot;The rose patterns of Yangshao culture, the octagonal star patterns of Lingjiatan culture and the dragon-scale patterns of Hongshan culture symbolize the distinct cultural characteristics of the civilizations in the basins of the Yellow, Yangtze and Liaohe rivers.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
He said that, like many stars shining together, the early Chinese cultures of different regions interacted across vast distances and eventually formed a diverse yet unified Chinese civilization.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;We should jointly tell the stories of Hongshan culture and Chinese culture to the world, helping global audiences better understand Chinese civilization and gain a deeper insight into China in the new era,&quot; Qu said.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Khaled Nazmy, ambassador of Egypt to China, said, &quot;Our gathering today is proof that our ancient heritage and civilization are not only a chapter in history, but also a living legacy that continues to inspire us, bring us together and remind us of our shared responsibility to preserve our cultural heritage and deepen our friendship.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Shahbaz Khan, director and representative of the UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia, said in a video speech: &quot;Hongshan culture represents a foundational chapter in human development. Its ritual architecture and extraordinary jade craftsmanship reveal humanity&#039;s early spiritual and social evolution. For UNESCO, protecting these roots is about safeguarding the unique human genius that grounds our collective identity.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Wang Wei, a member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences&#039; Academic Divisions, noted that Hongshan culture demonstrates that Chinese civilization did not originate from a single center, but rather emerged from the independent development and mutual influence among multiple regional cultures.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Wang noted that in the past, Chinese as well as Western archaeologists defined civilization by the presence of writings, cities and metallurgy. Hongshan culture lacked all three, yet it formed a complex society organized around belief systems, ritual structures and shared spiritual identity, showing that there is more than one path to civilization, he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Media representatives from Liao&amp;shy;ning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia shared stories behind iconic Hongshan relics: the Hongshan goddess statue, the jade dragon in ring-like shape known as jue and the C-shaped jade dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
At the conference, a special tribute was paid to those who have made outstanding contributions to the preservation and research of Hongshan heritage. Su Shenzhi, daughter of the late archaeologist Su Bingqi, accepted the honor on her father&#039;s behalf, together with archaeologist Guo Dashun and Sinologist Elizabeth Childs-Johnson from the United States. The three were presented with commemorative certificates.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
At the event, heads of the cultural heritage administrations of Liaoning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia signed the Liaoning-Hebei-Inner Mongolia Cooperation Agreement on Archaeological Research into Hongshan Culture, a move seen as a key step toward coordinated protection and cross-regional collaboration.&lt;br /&gt;

Zhou Guoyuan, Chairman of SANY Marine, stated that the agreement represents another milestone in SANY&#039;s global expansion strategy. He added that SANY will continue leveraging its expertise in port and logistics equipment to help customers improve operational efficiency. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Dual Electric Loader Lineup Supports Thailand&#039;s Rice Industry&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Thailand produces more than 20 million tons of milled rice annually, with exports consistently ranking among the world&#039;s top three. Rice mills face demanding conditions, including high dust levels, continuous operations and busy work environments, requiring equipment with strong environmental performance, low noise and reliable all-day performance. The SW970E EWL was designed for rice mill operations, featuring extended runtime, zero emissions, low noise and enhanced protection. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The customer subsequently placed an additional order for 50 SW956E electric wheel loaders. Together, the SW956E and SW970E will handle material movement throughout the rice production process&amp;mdash;from primary processing through final packaging&amp;mdash;while accelerating the adoption of electric equipment across Thailand&#039;s rice industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Looking ahead, SANY will continue expanding into global markets with efficient, environmentally responsible products that help drive the transition to more sustainable industrial operations.&lt;br /&gt;

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A Slate of Premium Short-Form Suspense Titles Set to Roll Out&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
BEIJING, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 4,&amp;nbsp;iQIYI, China&#039;s leading online entertainment platform, announced the launch of Undercurrent Theater &amp;ndash; the industry&#039;s first dedicated horizontal short-form suspense drama brand.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Built on the creative heritage of its acclaimed long-form suspense brand Suspense Theater, Undercurrent Theater applies the same cinematic production standards and narrative discipline to a compact format: episodes of 10 to 25 minutes, presented in horizontal screen, tailored to the growing appetite for premium suspense content that fits seamlessly into modern viewing habits.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Anchored by the proposition &quot;Beneath the currents, truth lies&quot;, Undercurrent Theater pursues hard truths about human nature with intensity and precision, delivering fast-paced, high-quality suspense in horizontal-screen short-form drama that offers audiences a genuinely differentiated premium viewing experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Undercurrent Theater&#039;s debut slate features three titles spanning crime investigation, classic IP revival, and suspense mystery. Now streaming on both iQIYI and iQIYI International, opening title &quot;Dead of Winter&quot; is a hard-hitting crime suspense drama rooted in social realism, set in a small northeastern Chinese city in the late 1990s, following two former friends &amp;ndash; a community police officer and a criminal investigator &amp;ndash; who reunite to crack a series of major criminal cases, ultimately exposing an eight-year family tragedy. Upcoming titles include &quot;The VI Group of Fatal Case&quot;, which revives a beloved crime franchise through a fast-paced prequel, while &quot;The Murder Truth&quot; tackles the subject of serial crime through a layered blend of suspense, psychological investigation, and interconnected cases, methodically unraveling the truth behind 18 horrific cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The launch comes as short-form drama emerges as a consequential shift in Chinese entertainment. As the platform that pioneered the Theater mode and defined the premium suspense genre in China, iQIYI brings proven creative leadership to this new format. Audiences increasingly demand content that is both high in quality and fast in pace &amp;ndash; a combination iQIYI has consistently delivered. &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;amp;l=en&amp;amp;o=4747211-1&amp;amp;h=3848442489&amp;amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Fpages.iqiyi.com%2Fp%2Fzbs%2F2025072501news.html__%3B!!KZXpRQ!TP3Z-DXKN-wB-jLYhAE9cw6X_VYJX05MkkphgF2AqDVpWNge9Yr0IJsZxZBR9eW5k6g4BgYYsvGcRm6wfn4%24&amp;amp;a=Rose+Finch&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Rose Finch&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, a short-form drama blending folklore with scientific investigation, became a standout success in China, topping the short drama market for six consecutive days with a peak viewership share of 44%, according to Enlightent. These results establish short-form content as a critical growth driver alongside iQIYI&#039;s long-form slate.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Undercurrent Theater represents iQIYI&#039;s commitment to bringing the same creative discipline that defines its premium long-form storytelling to the short-form drama category. This launch marks a new phase of genre-driven, premium brand operation for domestic horizontal-screen short-form drama. Drawing on its proven expertise in content creation and market operations, iQIYI will continue to deepen its focus across vertical genre tracks and raise the bar for domestic drama production.&lt;br /&gt;

Showcasing Thai Soft Power to the World&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
BANGKOK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Thailand jointly proclaimed Thailand&#039;s readiness to host the&amp;nbsp;&quot;2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group&quot;. This premier global economic and financial forum&amp;mdash;often referred to as the&amp;nbsp;&quot;Olympics of Finance&quot;&amp;mdash;will take place on 12&amp;ndash;18 October 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok. Over 15,000 delegates from 191 countries, including global policymakers, economists, government representatives, private sector executives, and members of the media, will gather to discuss the future of the global economy. This marks a historic return after Thailand set a milestone with its successful and prestigious debut as host in 1991.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Thailand Ready to Welcome 191 Countries to the 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, stated that hosting this summit is a major opportunity to deliver tangible benefits to Thailand and its citizens. It will stimulate the economy, elevate Thailand&#039;s global credibility, and internationally showcase local community capabilities internationally under the concept of&amp;nbsp;&quot;Empowering Community: From Local to Global.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
As host, Thailand has introduced the core theme:&amp;nbsp;&quot;Thailand&#039;s New Horizons: Empowering People, Building Resilience.&quot;&amp;nbsp;This theme aligns with the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) a paradigm which promotes a balanced, sustainable, resilient, and people-centric development framework.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In driving policy on the global stage, the Thai government has linked its vision and fiscal policies to address today&#039;s challenges, building economic strength and readiness to cope with change across all dimensions. This is achieved through four pillars that represent key strategic issues currently being addressed by countries worldwide, comprising:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Digital and AI Transformation for Inclusive and Resilient Growth:&amp;nbsp;Thailand stands ready to serve as a model for other nations in developing Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), highlighting success stories like PromptPay and Cross-Border QR payments, as well as the integration of data and AI to optimize public services and healthcare policies with precision.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;・Building Resilience in a Fragmented World:&amp;nbsp;Showcasing Thailand&#039;s potential as a &quot;Trusted Hub&quot; for trade, finance, and investment in Asia, while promoting highly resilient supply chains and innovative forms of international cooperation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;・Building a New Financial Architecture for Climate Adaptation:&amp;nbsp;Championing the reform of global financial structures to support equitable energy transitions and climate adaptation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;・Demographic Change and the Longevity Economy:&amp;nbsp;Turning the challenges of an aging society into economic opportunities and robust financial preparedness.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to policy discussions, a major highlight of the event is the presentation of Thai identity and soft power to elevate the country&#039;s image and impress global delegates. The venue will feature handwoven textiles with unique local patterns curated from 21 provinces and 26 communities, totaling 37 heritage designs&amp;mdash;such as Tai Lue Teen Jok woven fabric, elephant-patterned Pakaoma, and hand-painted &quot;Buppha Borom Rachineenart&quot; batik&amp;mdash;made with acoustic panels and integrated into the interior decor to showcase traditional Thai wisdom. Furthermore, Geographical Indication (GI) products will be showcased and served, giving international delegates a taste of authentic Thai flavors, including premium, hand-selected 100% Thai Jasmine Rice, reflecting the abundance of Thailand as the region&#039;s agricultural &quot;rice bowl.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Ekniti&amp;nbsp;added that the host government is accelerating efforts to establish the event as a&amp;nbsp;national agenda&amp;nbsp;through the&amp;nbsp;&quot;Road to Thailand&quot;&amp;nbsp;communication campaign. This campaign aims to engage all sectors&amp;mdash;government agencies, academic institutions, businesses, and the public&amp;mdash;emphasizing that this meeting is not just for policymakers and academics, but directly touches the lives of everyone. This is reflected in the active involvement of youth, local communities, and small enterprises in the preparation and execution of the event. In the short term, the influx of high-spending global visitors will immediately boost the tourism and hospitality sectors.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Thailand&#039;s preparations are meticulous, down to the finest detail. The government has elevated operations through three subcommittees: theSubcommittee on the Substance, ensuring a powerful driving force for the core theme; theSubcommittee on Protocol and Logistics, guaranteeing an exceptional experience that exceeds delegate expectations; and theSubcommittee on Security, ensuring a safe, orderly, and seamless event that inspires absolute confidence. Currently, Thailand is 100% ready. This July, delegations from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group are in Bangkok for their final evaluation, known as the &#039;July Mission.&#039; Under a collaborative framework across all sectors, we have established a seamless control and operations system to ensure absolute readiness in all aspects,&quot; said&amp;nbsp;Mr. Ekniti.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Vitai Ratanakorn, Governor of the Bank of Thailand (BOT), highlighted that with Thailand&#039;s global leadership in digital financial infrastructure&amp;mdash;particularly through systems like PromptPay and Cross-Border QR payments&amp;mdash;the BOT aims to showcase the future of the financial world under the concept of&amp;nbsp;&quot;Safe &amp;amp; Inclusive Digital Finance (SIDF).&quot;&amp;nbsp;This will demonstrate to the global community that digital finance must not only be fast but also highly secure and inclusive of all.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
To achieve a safe and inclusive financial system, three key mechanisms are required: (1) managing digital fraud, scams, and digital crimes that directly impact confidence in the financial system; (2) mitigating cyber resilience risks to ensure the financial system can withstand technology-related vulnerabilities, given that the current system still relies on highly concentrated infrastructure and service providers; and (3) creating an accessible and fair enabling ecosystem to prevent financial exclusion and inequality, particularly in an era where unequal access to AI and digital footprints could create new forms of disparity if policies are not designed carefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The heart of this approach is a people-centric financial policy. Beyond protecting citizens from financial cyber threats, it unlocks fair access to capital and credit for small players, vulnerable groups, the elderly, and SMEs, ultimately enhancing their quality of life with safety and equality.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
As the host central bank, the BOT is ready to make history by introducing the&amp;nbsp;&quot;Bangkok Blueprint&quot; policy framework.&amp;nbsp;Developed in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, this global output will serve as a policy compass that countries can adapt to their unique contexts to build trust in the digital financial era.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The framework will cover robust policy and legal foundations, fraud prevention and detection, enhanced inter-agency and international cooperation, and raising public financial literacy and digital resilience.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The&amp;nbsp;Bangkok Blueprint&amp;nbsp;is designed to be one of the key deliverables of this summit, bridging Thailand&#039;s national theme with global priorities. Since digital financial threats are a challenge faced by every nation, this blueprint demonstrates Thailand&#039;s global thought leadership, turning concepts into actionable, concrete frameworks to address challenges and foster international cooperation,&quot; concluded&amp;nbsp;Mr. Vitai.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The St. Regis Bar x Saicho Afternoon Tea Set&lt;br /&gt;

From savory delights to sweet finales, each course reflects the chef&#039;s creative interpretation of the art of tea pairing.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

KOBE, Japan, Aug. 06, 2026/Globe Newswire/ --&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Micware Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: MWC) (the &amp;ldquo;Company&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;Micware&amp;rdquo;), a Japan-based provider of software development services and innovative IT solutions mainly focused on the automotive and mobility sectors, today announced that its subsidiary, Micware Navigations Co., Ltd. (&amp;ldquo;Micware Navigations&amp;rdquo;), in collaboration with Wiz Ltd. (&amp;ldquo;Wiz&amp;rdquo;), the provider of the &amp;ldquo;Wiz&amp;rdquo; security platform for cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) environments, has begun offering cloud and AI security solutions that utilize Wiz.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Background&lt;br&gt;As AI-driven development and the production use of AI applications continue to expand, cloud environments are facing increasingly complex security considerations. In the automotive industry, the advancement of SDVs (Software Defined Vehicles) is also expected to increase the sophistication of security requirements for in-vehicle software. Through its development of IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) software, Micware, along with its subsidiaries, has developed knowledge in addressing automotive-grade security standards. This initiative is intended to help provide customers with practical security measures.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Security Considerations Associated with the &amp;ldquo;AI Shift&amp;rdquo; Across Industries&lt;br&gt;The adoption of AI may affect enterprise security environments in several respects. First, in development, the release velocity of AI-generated code is expected to increase, and the production use of AI services, models, Model Context Protocol (&amp;ldquo;MCP&amp;rdquo;) servers, and AI agents is also expected to grow. Second, on the attacker side, new AI attack surfaces may emerge and the speed of exploitation may accelerate. Third, with respect to protected assets, companies will need to manage new areas such as AI inventories, AI infrastructure and applications, and rogue or compromised agents.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
These changes are security considerations relevant to companies using cloud and AI, regardless of industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
About the Solution&lt;br&gt;Leveraging Wiz&amp;rsquo;s cloud and AI security platform, Micware Navigations offers solutions that comprehensively support visibility, risk assessment, and response across customers&amp;rsquo; cloud infrastructure, AI applications, and development lifecycles. The solution enables rapid agentless deployment without affecting systems, and through Wiz&amp;rsquo;s proprietary security graph, strongly supports contextual risk prioritization and the identification of critical risks that customers should address from among large volumes of data.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The solution covers secure development (Wiz Code), cloud posture management (Wiz Cloud), and runtime threat detection and response (Wiz Defend) and is intended to enable proactive responses to emerging security risks associated with the expanding use of AI technologies by enterprises and cyberattacks that use AI.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in SDV development and connected platforms that drive next-generation mobility, advanced and integrated monitoring is essential for areas such as protecting cloud-based application programming interface (API) endpoints that communicate directly with vehicles, strictly configuring access controls and guardrails, and addressing cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities. This solution is intended to support the development of cloud security posture relevant to SDVs, including a CSMS (Cybersecurity Management System), and contribute to the creation of secure and reliable connected environments.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
End-to-End Services Provided by Micware Navigations&lt;br&gt;Micware Navigations&amp;rsquo; engineers, who have experience addressing the extremely stringent security requirements demanded of in-vehicle software as well as advanced cloud integration experience, provide end-to-end support from deployment through adoption of the &amp;ldquo;Wiz AI-Application Protection Platform.&amp;rdquo; Leveraging advanced security knowledge cultivated in the automotive industry, Micware Navigations will provide the following support services to help customers safely use cloud and AI, regardless of industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Assessment:&amp;nbsp; comprehensively scanning customers&amp;rsquo; existing cloud infrastructure and AI environments to precisely visualize and evaluate risks such as shadow AI, potential threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.&lt;br /&gt;
・Design and deployment: &amp;nbsp;supporting initial Wiz connection through agentless configuration that does not impose load on systems, as well as monitoring scope definition and the design and implementation of security policies and guardrails suited to customers&amp;rsquo; business requirements.&lt;br /&gt;
・Ongoing operations: &amp;nbsp;using Wiz&amp;rsquo;s security graph to prioritize the risks that truly require action based on context, while conducting periodic risk reviews and detection-rule tuning to maintain a strong security posture that keeps pace with changes in cloud environments.&lt;br /&gt;
・Training and capability-building:&amp;nbsp; providing Wiz operation training and best-practice knowledge transfer for customers&amp;rsquo; security personnel, supporting internal capability-building so that deployment does not end with tool introduction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Key Features and Value Provided by Wiz &amp;ldquo;AI-Application Protection Platform&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;The Wiz AI application protection capabilities, &amp;ldquo;Wiz AI Application Protection Platform,&amp;rdquo; leveraged by Micware Navigations, support comprehensive protection across the full lifecycle of AI applications, from code development to cloud infrastructure and runtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
・Comprehensive visibility across the environment (eliminating shadow AI): &amp;nbsp;automatically inventorying and visualizing all AI assets in complex cloud environments, including AI agents, AI models, MCP, and identity management.&lt;br /&gt;
・Risk reduction across cloud and AI: &amp;nbsp;spanning the full stack from source code and cloud configuration to runtime, and comprehensively identifying AI-related vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, findings, and issues.&lt;br /&gt;
・Real-time protection for AI runtime: &amp;nbsp;providing runtime monitoring and immediate protection against unauthorized inputs to AI models, such as prompt injection, as well as cyber threats to runtime and the cloud environments in which they operate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Wiz platform also supports agentless connection without imposing load on systems, enabling rapid deployment even in large-scale cloud environments. Collected data is analyzed through Wiz&amp;rsquo;s proprietary security graph, enabling unified understanding across the cloud of the context in which AI risks are connected to cloud assets, identity permissions, and network vulnerabilities. This approach is employed to clarify the highest-priority items that truly require action from among large volumes of alerts and significantly improves the efficiency of security operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Future Outlook&lt;br&gt;Through the provision of this solution, Micware intends to support customers in addressing security considerations in cloud and AI environments and will consider expanding related service offerings.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Premium cosmetics brand chose recyclable material for an overcap that delivers aesthetics, strength and sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
KINGSPORT, Tenn., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prestigious Japanese cosmetics brand KANEBO has selected Eastman Cristal&amp;trade; One IM812 specialty PET resin for the overcap of its new Generating Essentials Treatment Lotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
KANEBO selects Eastman Cristal One IM812 for luxury overcap packaging to deliver aesthetics, strength and sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Rooted in KANEBO&#039;s &#039;Progress Care&#039; philosophy and our message, &#039;Going beyond beauty, KANEBO heightens hope,&#039; this lotion reflects our approach to supporting skin through different stages of life rather than focusing on anti-aging,&quot; said Shinsuke Magai, KANEBO designer. &quot;We wanted the packaging to bring that philosophy to life through a design that conveys both refinement and progression.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For the thick-walled black overcap, KANEBO needed a material that could meet demanding performance and design requirements, especially given the cap&#039;s heavier construction. Cristal One IM812 met that challenge by passing drop impact testing and maintaining required strength after post-mold painting.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Cristal One IM812 delivered the precise aesthetic KANEBO envisioned: a clean, high-quality black with the right gloss and a subtle transition from opaque black to a more transparent black gradient at the top. This combination of toughness, transparency and color precision helped create a refined premium look without making the package appear overly heavy.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;From an engineering perspective, this packaging required careful alignment of material performance, processing and finish,&quot; said Shota Kawasaki, KANEBO packaging engineer. &quot;We evaluated several candidate materials, and Cristal One IM812 proved to be the best match for our needs.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
This specialty material can be injection molded and is designed to provide high transparency and toughness for premium cosmetic components.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
KANEBO selected this specialty PET resin for its sustainability benefits, as it is recyclable in the PET recycling stream. Although compliance with the European Union&#039;s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) was not an immediate requirement for a product sold primarily in Asian markets, KANEBO chose to go a step further by adopting a material that aligns with anticipated future regulatory expectations.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Market response has been positive since the lotion&#039;s January 2026 launch, and KANEBO plans to expand use of Cristal One Renew IM812 in upcoming products.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;KANEBO&#039;s adoption of Cristal One IM812 in its product cap is meaningful to Eastman,&quot; said Tara Cary, Eastman&amp;nbsp;marketing manager for cosmetics and personal care packaging. &quot;This commercial example shows how Eastman&#039;s materials can help beauty brands address the challenge of combining sustainability with uncompromised appearance, durability and function.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Kao, KANEBO&#039;s parent company, has partnered with Eastman for many years. Built through collaboration on Eastman material innovations, the longstanding relationship reflects Kao&#039;s confidence in Eastman&#039;s global technical support and materials expertise for cosmetic packaging that demands premium finishes and reliable performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
