Bala Enzyme® Hydration + Recovery Turmeric Drink Mix Expands National Reach with Target.com Launch

Female- and doctor-founded functional wellness brand builds on Amazon growth with a differentiated formula designed to help support muscles and joints while delivering zero-sugar hydration

SEAL BEACH, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bala Enzyme®, the doctor-founded functional wellness brand bringing a differentiated approach to everyday wellness, announces that its Bala Enzyme Hydration + Recovery Turmeric Drink Mix stick packs, featuring Pineapple, Lime and Berry flavors, are now available on Target.com.

The Target.com launch marks an important step in Bala Enzyme's national retail expansion, building on its growing Amazon business and introducing the brand to a broader audience seeking functional health beverages that go beyond electrolyte replenishment.

Co-founded by husband-and-wife dental surgeons Dr. Farnoush Fadavi and Dr. Arash Aftabi, Bala Enzyme was inspired by Dr. Fadavi's own experience recovering from a life-changing injury and her search for a convenient way to support her body's inflammatory response as part of her daily routine. Unable to take NSAIDs, she drew on her decades of clinical experience to help develop a purposeful, plant-based hydration formula that also addressed muscle and joint support.

Unlike traditional electrolyte powders, Bala Enzyme's patent-pending ENZYMX RECOVERY ACCELERATOR™ puts turmeric and plant-based enzymes (bromelain and papain) at the center of the formula to help support a healthy inflammatory response, alongside amino acids and essential electrolytes including sodium, potassium and magnesium to support hydration. Each serving has zero sugar, just 15 calories when mixed with water and no artificial coloring.

"As a doctor, I understood the importance of supporting both hydration and recovery, but as a patient, I wanted something natural, convenient and delicious that I could incorporate every day," explains Dr. Fadavi. "That experience led us to create a formula that supports muscles and joints while also delivering tasty, zero-sugar hydration."

Bala Enzyme is designed for everyday life. From exercise, athletics and active hobbies to travel, work and long days on the go, each portable single-serve stick mixes easily with water, making functional support simple to incorporate into a daily routine at home, at work, at the gym or on the go.

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CFMOTO, a leading company in the global powersports industry, welcomed international journalists from more than 29 countries and regions to its headquarters in China for CFMOTO EXPERIENCE 2026.

"We hope this visit gives you the opportunity to experience CFMOTO firsthand—to meet our people, explore our facilities and gain a deeper understanding of the company behind the brand," said Minjie Lai, Chairman and CEO of CFMOTO, as he welcomed the delegation to China.

"Our vision is clear: to become a premium global powersports brand," said Ferdinand Klauser, Chief Brand Officer of CFMOTO. "For CFMOTO, being global isn't just about where we sell, it's about how we operate. That's why we offer a fuller, deeper view of our capabilities and our commitment."

The company operates five production facilities across China, Mexico and Thailand, including CFMOTO NexFactory in Jiaxing, unveiled during the event as an integrated manufacturing hub for two-wheeled vehicles destined for global markets. The manufacturing network is complemented by five flagship R&D centers and four design hubs globally.

Media toured CFMOTO's R&D and design facilities, gaining insight into vehicle development, simulation, testing, software engineering, connected technologies and design.

Motorsport remains central to CFMOTO's technology and brand strategy. In October 2026, CFMOTO Aspar Team rider Máximo Quiles won the Moto3 World Championship, and the 675SR-R has been selected as the official race bike for the 2027 FIM Women's Circuit Racing World Championship.

TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vale Base Metals ("VBM", or the "Company"), today announced the completion of its transaction to establish Exiro Nickel Company ("Exiro Nickel") as the new owner and operator of the Thompson Mine Complex in Manitoba, Canada.

Usmar added: "I want to recognize and congratulate our new partners, Exiro, Orion Resource Partners and Canada Growth Fund, on the completion of this transaction. VBM is proud to remain a shareholder and excited to work with our partners to realize Thompson's immense long-term potential. We continue to believe in the strategic value of Canadian nickel and our retained interest and offtake agreement allow us to maintain that connection in Manitoba.

The transaction is consistent with VBM's strategy to actively manage its portfolio and enable dedicated ownership and investment for Thompson. The completion of the transaction concludes the strategic review of the Thompson operations launched by VBM in January 2025.

The Thompson Mine Complex includes two underground operating mines, an adjacent mill and significant exploration opportunities across the 135-kilometre-long Thompson Nickel Belt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), the trucking industry's not-for-profit research organization, today announced the selection of nationally recognized transportation and logistics executive Page Siplon as its next president and chief operating officer. Siplon will join ATRI in November, working alongside current ATRI President Rebecca Brewster to ensure a seamless leadership transition before succeeding her upon her retirement in February 2027.

Siplon brings more than two decades of leadership experience spanning private industry, economic development, public policy, and military service. Most recently, he served as Chief Executive Officer of TeamOne Logistics, where he led the organization for more than a decade, guiding its growth and expanding its capabilities. His leadership focused extensively on the trucking workforce, driver recruitment and retention, safety, and the operational challenges facing motor carriers.

Prior to joining TeamOne, Siplon spent more than a decade leading logistics and innovation initiatives for the State of Georgia. As Executive Director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics, he worked with industry and government leaders to advance freight transportation initiatives and strengthen Georgia's logistics competitiveness. Siplon also founded and led the nationally recognized Georgia Logistics Summit, which grew to become one of the nation's largest logistics conferences. He later assumed leadership of Georgia's broader Centers of Innovation program, overseeing six strategic industry sectors statewide. Siplon's industry leadership also extended to the national level, where he served as Vice Chairman of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness, helping inform national discussions on transportation, logistics, and supply chain policy.

"Page brings a unique combination of executive leadership, a track record of building public-private partnerships, and a deep understanding of the transportation industry," said Brenda Neville, Iowa Motor Truck Association President and CEO, and ATRI Search Committee Chair. "We are excited to welcome Page to ATRI and believe his experience, collaborative approach, and leadership will help the organization build on its strong foundation and continue delivering meaningful value to the trucking industry."

ATRI President Rebecca Brewster added, "I have known Page since his tenure with the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics, and I am excited to have him join the ATRI team and work with me and our staff on the leadership transition. Page's leadership will be vital to carrying ATRI's research mission forward at a time when trucking faces increasingly complex decisions. In the years ahead, credible independent research will be essential to helping our industry navigate change, improve safety and make informed decisions."

"I'm incredibly excited and humbled by the opportunity to lead ATRI and build on the remarkable work Rebecca and her team have done over the years," said Siplon. "I've always believed that trucking is the common denominator of our economy. Our nation simply cannot function without it. ATRI has earned a level of respect and trust throughout our industry that is truly special, and looking ahead, I see tremendous opportunity to build on that foundation, broaden our reach, and find new ways to put our research to work for the trucking industry and the economy that relies on it."

Siplon's selection follows a nationwide search to succeed Brewster, who announced her retirement earlier this year after serving more than three decades with ATRI.

ATRI is the trucking industry's 501(c)(3) not-for-profit research organization. It is engaged in critical research relating to freight transportation's essential role in maintaining a safe, secure and efficient transportation system.

Updated model builds on the proven XREAL One Pro platform with brighter visuals, AI HDR, smoother 2D-to-3D conversion, improved ergonomics, and is available now

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XREAL, a global leader in consumer AR glasses, today announced XREAL 1 Pro+, an updated flagship wearable display built on the proven foundation of XREAL One Pro. XREAL 1 Pro+ introduces a series of display, spatial viewing and comfort improvements while retaining the core design and capabilities that have made One Pro a mainstay of XREAL's wearable display lineup since 2025.

XREAL 1 Pro+ launches globally today, October 15, and will be available through XREAL.com at first, with global retail stores adding XREAL 1 Pro+ soon.

The new model retains the core One Pro experience, including XREAL's X1 spatial computing chip, native 3DoF spatial anchoring and a 57-degree field of view, while adding several targeted upgrades designed to improve everyday viewing.

The display now reaches up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness and adds AI HDR to improve perceived image quality across supported content. XREAL 1 Pro+ also introduces dedicated Standard, Movie and Reading viewing modes, giving users greater control over how content is presented depending on what they are watching or doing.

XREAL has also upgraded its 2D-to-3D conversion capability from 30FPS to 60FPS, delivering smoother motion when viewing converted spatial content. The feature enables users to experience traditional 2D content with added depth directly through the glasses, no matter what they're viewing or the source.

For longer viewing sessions, XREAL 1 Pro+ introduces a newly designed ergonomic nose pad system intended to improve wearing stability and comfort while helping users maintain a consistent and complete field of view.

XREAL One Pro has established a strong foundation for XREAL's flagship wearable display experience, and with XREAL 1 Pro+, the company wanted to build on that foundation rather than reinvent it. The improvements are focused on the things users experience every day — brighter and more adaptable visuals, smoother spatial content and a more comfortable fit — while preserving the simplicity and reliability of One Pro.

XREAL 1 Pro+ is available globally beginning October 15, 2026, at XREAL.com for $599 USD.
