Casio to Release Limited-Edition Timepiece Celebrating MR-G 30th Anniversary.

Latticework Dial Finished in Platinum Leaf, with Structural Color Technology Employed to Create Metal Leaf-Inspired Textures for Bezel and Bracelet

TOKYO, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B2100HR, featuring a dimensional latticework dial inspired by kigumi*1 and finished in platinum leaf, is available in a limited edition of only 800 pieces worldwide.

To commemorate the 30 years since the debut of MR-G in 1996, Casio drew from metal leaf, embodying tradition and innovation. The design expresses a strength that transcends time through the theme of haruka (eternity). Metal leaf artist Hiroto Rakusho created an original artwork, which together with the timepiece design brings the world of haruka to life.

Built on the shock-resistant MRG-B2100 with its octagonal bezel, the new MRG-B2100HR features a dimensional latticework dial. Each timepiece is adorned with platinum leaf applied by Rakusho. Powdered platinum leaf creates depth and gives each timepiece distinct character.

The bezel and bracelet evoke Rakusho's artwork, with metal leaf-inspired textures rendered using structural color technology. *2 Precision laser processing produces colors that change with the viewing angle. The design brings together traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology to highlight the beauty of metal leaf.

The bezel is formed from 27 components, each polished before assembly. The bezel and bracelet employ the super-hard alloys COBARION*3 and DAT55G*4, respectively. Together, the finishes and materials deliver both refined metallic beauty and toughness.

Much more than a program, TACP is a seminal shift in how the USA and African countries work together to execute reciprocal trade. By using traceable US-grown cotton shipped directly from the U.S. to Africa, African producers are able to utilize the highest quality fiber on the planet, while US consumers benefit from lower costs at their local retailer and increased confidence in finished products like blue jeans and t-shirts, because they will be able to point to the exact farm in the US, and the exact manufacturing plant in Africa, before making a decision to spend their money.

The Partnership was launched during the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City and witnessed by select private sector, investors, and government partners. The Right Honorable Prime Minister of Lesotho Sam Matekane delivered the keynote address, saying, "Through this partnership, we have an opportunity to build something much larger than the cotton trading arrangement. We have an opportunity to connect two continents through a productive industrial relationship."  

Among those signing onto TACP were the Honorable Minister of Industry, SMEs and Cooperatives, Ameer Meea, who added: "American cotton can leave the United States, be transformed through African industry and craftsmanship, and return to the American market as finished garments. That creates value on both sides of the Atlantic, and it is exactly the kind of partnership Mauritius wants to build with the United States." He continued, "Mauritius wants to trade more with the United States, but I do not ask American investors to look only at a market of 1.3 million people; I invite them to use Mauritius as a trusted platform from which to invest across Africa."

The Honorable Lee Kinyanjui, Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry for the Republic of Kenya, said, "Developing integrated cotton, textile, and apparel value chains is essential for Africa's industrialization and export growth. While Kenya excels in garment assembly, connecting to global value chains expands export reach and capacity. We value this strategic partnership which aligns regional capacity with global market standards. Through this initiative we seek to position Kenya as a sustainable textile and apparel manufacturing hub."

USATD is pioneering a demand-driven trade approach that directly connects U.S. suppliers with African buyers, and vice versa, while advancing compliance, logistics, and financing systems to enable seamless cross-border commerce of finished products using U.S. goods for U.S. consumers.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 13, 2026.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 13, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Baidu had overstated the ability of its AI business to mitigate rapid declines in its legacy online marketing business; (2) as a result, Baidu's revenue was reasonably likely to decline; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Baidu's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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

Humanforce named a Major Contender in the Everest Group Workforce Management Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026 and the Everest Group Human Capital Management (HCM) Platforms Mid-market PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026

SYDNEY, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Humanforce, the workforce management and human capital management (HCM) platform built for frontline and flexible workforces, has been named a Major Contender in two 2026 Everest Group assessments: the Workforce Management Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026 and the Everest Group Human Capital Management (HCM) Platforms Mid-market PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026. In workforce management, Everest Group positions Humanforce highest among Major Contenders for vision and capability.

"Humanforce has spent 24 years solving the complexity of shift-based work. Compliance has always been part of our DNA, and we have built on that foundation to create a broader HCM platform that combines trusted workforce operations with AI, analytics and a stronger frontline employee experience," said Clayton Pyne, Chief Executive Officer at Humanforce.

"For our customers, that means connecting the entire frontline journey, from hiring, onboarding and learning to scheduling, compliance, engagement, benefits and pay. Whether rostering an aged care home, maintaining staffing ratios across childcare centres or filling thousands of shifts at a stadium, the platform helps organisations manage complex work with greater confidence and productivity.

"Recognition in both assessments validates our focus on building a broader HCM platform around the realities of frontline work. Everest Group's positioning of Humanforce highest among Major Contenders for workforce management vision and capability reflects the depth of the workforce management foundation underpinning that platform."

One AI operating platform from workforce demand to pay

Humanforce brings together workforce management, payroll, HR, talent, benefits, learning and AI & Analytics for complex, regulated organisations operating around the clock. Humanforce Connect extends the platform into governed workforce fulfilment across internal teams, talent marketplaces, agencies and vendors.

This combination of specialist workforce management depth and broader HCM capability is proven across frontline industries worldwide. More than 1,500 customers and one million employees use Humanforce across more than 90 countries. They include Australian aged care, childcare and healthcare organisations Regis Aged Care, Guardian Childcare & Education and Epworth HealthCare; global hospitality, travel and venue operators Accor, Delaware North, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment and Flight Centre; and retailers Mitre 10 and IGA.

"Frontline organisations should not have to stitch specialist workforce management and generalist HR systems together," said Luke Bongiorno, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Humanforce.

"A connected frontline HCM platform gives workforce operators greater control of coverage, productivity and labour cost; payroll managers confidence in accurate, compliant pay; and HR directors and talent leaders a consistent employee experience and clearer view of workforce capacity and skills. It also gives AI the trusted data, operational context, rules and guardrails needed to support better decisions."

Humanforce's AI strategy applies intelligence within everyday workforce decisions. The platform is built on a deterministic core, a rules-based system of record that keeps pay, compliance and employment decisions anchored in trusted workforce data. AI and analytics can then forecast demand, optimise schedules, identify risks and explain likely cost and compliance impacts.

"We see the greatest value from AI when it works with trusted workforce data, compliance rules and real operational context," said Dr Imtiaz Bhayat, Chief Information Officer at Regis Aged Care. "Humanforce's approach builds intelligence on that trusted workforce foundation, something we leverage to give our teams real-time insight and support better decisions across our homes. After 15 years as a Humanforce customer, that is the kind of practical, responsible AI innovation we want from a long-term partner."

VentureIsrael Appoints Evgenia Zaslavskaya as Venture Partner

TEL AVIV-YAFO, Israel, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VentureIsrael, an Israeli venture capital fund investing in early-stage deep tech companies, announced the appointment of Evgenia Zaslavskaya as Venture Partner to lead international communications for the fund and serve as a communications resource for its portfolio companies.

Founders in the portfolio will have access to the same expertise for their own technology, teams, and traction.

"Israel has a vibrant tech market with many products worth talking about, and I want to bring more of them to a global audience. Partnering with VentureIsrael—a firm I've worked with for many years, and one that has backed some of the country's most interesting deep-tech companies—is a natural place to do that," Zaslavskaya added.

Biophysical Therapeutics brings longevity science to skincare with its new IF1 brand

From equations and experiments in the laboratory to exclusive skincare for skin longevity

WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Biophysical Therapeutics, a Delaware company, announces the launch of its consumer longevity brand called IF1.

It is currently accepting pre-orders for its first product, an anti-aging skin moisturizer available at www.IF1.skin. Only 500 units are available in the initial production run, retailing at $120 apiece.

This moisturizer is distinctive in incorporating leading-edge longevity science, and is further distinct, since the profit from its sales will feed back to fund the company's drug programs, which include drugs against cancer, age-related diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease), and aging itself.

The company was founded in 2022 by Dr. Michael Forrest, a Cambridge University biochemistry graduate with a Ph.D. in computer science, and is advised by Professor George Church of Harvard Medical School. Its specialty is computational biology and especially biophysical modeling, which is mathematical modeling of the physics and chemistry of a biological system, and the company is named after this approach. Unusually for a computational biology company, it has actually delivered new experimentally-validated drugs working as predicted in vivo, protected by granted patents.

The science behind the company's new anti-aging skin moisturizer is its conclusion regarding why different mammal species can have such different lifespans, for example, a mouse maximally lives 4 years whereas a bowhead whale can live centuries longer. This conclusion is complex but it distills to simplicity - species with more IF1 protein live longer. Indeed, the company has shown that increasing IF1 protein in mice reduces aging as measured by an aging biomarker.

People already buy anti-aging skincare. Indeed, it is already a $70B market and growing. This bodes well for this new brand that leverages differentiated anti-aging science from leading anti-aging scientists, which will in turn fund them to advance science and medicine. Economists calculate that the economic benefit of slower aging, to the USA alone, is $38T per year of increased life expectancy.

Dr. Forrest says: "Our IF1 brand brings leading-edge anti-aging science to skincare. This is just part of our mission to save, improve, and extend lives at mass scale."

The IF1 anti-aging skin moisturizer is available for pre-order now exclusively at www.IF1.skin.

About Biophysical Therapeutics

Biophysical Therapeutics is a Delaware-based biotechnology company that uses computational biology, especially biophysical modeling, to discover new fundamental biology and design new drugs. Its primary targets are cancer, the diseases of aging (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), and aging itself. The company has a pipeline of experimentally-validated new drugs and a portfolio of granted patents. It owns a longevity skincare brand called IF1, which is available at www.IF1.skin.

"Today's supplemental agreement is an important step in Biman's ongoing fleet renewal and network expansion. This order responds to specific requirements in our fleet plan. Our team's working relationship with Boeing over the years has given us confidence in the delivery and support arrangements," said Mr. Rumee A Hossain, chairman of Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

This agreement is one part of a broader, carefully considered plan to strengthen the country's international connectivity in the years ahead."

Biman currently operates 787, 777 and 737 Next‑Generation airplanes across its international network, connecting Bangladesh with major hubs in the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Europe. The 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX families deliver 20-25% more fuel efficiency compared to the airplanes they replace, supporting the airline's strategy to modernize its fleet and expand global connectivity.

"Biman's follow-on order reflects its strategic approach to fleet renewal and capacity growth, and underscores the strength of our long-standing partnership," said Brad McMullen, Boeing senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. "These additional 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX airplanes will deliver the efficiency, versatility and reliability Biman needs to support Bangladesh's growing role in global aviation."

The addition of the 737‑8 and 787‑10 strengthens Biman's established Boeing fleet, ensuring seamless commonality across operations. The 737‑8 brings greater range to the airline's single‑aisle network, while the 787‑10 adds higher capacity to complement Biman's 787‑9 and 787‑8 airplanes.

A leading global aerospace company and top U.S. exporter, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. Our U.S. and global workforce and supplier base drive innovation, economic opportunity, sustainability and community impact.
