Redefining Public Education Through Integrated Learning

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- An upcoming Public Television broadcast highlights how dynamic charter frameworks and data-informed instruction eliminate achievement gaps in primary K-8 education.

DaVinci Academy of Arts and Science will be featured in an upcoming Public Television broadcast of All Access hosted by Andy Garcia, which will focus on solutions to persistent educational challenges. The segment will be filmed on location at the academy's Ham Lake, Minnesota campus and will investigate how integrating arts and sciences into core curricula can help overcome conventional learning hurdles. Viewers will gain insight into how agile charter governance can enable educators to implement targeted academic strategies designed to foster high achievement, social development, and genuine student enthusiasm.

The production will explore how detailed data analysis and collaborative evaluation can help resolve instructional disconnects in the classroom. DaVinci Academy of Arts and Science will demonstrate how tracking comprehensive growth metrics can empower faculty to refine teaching methods and provide individualized support across all grade levels. By grounding schoolwide decisions in rich, multi-dimensional student data, the segment will show how intentional educational practices can help eliminate performance gaps and create a more equitable learning environment where every child receives the tools needed to succeed.

"At DaVinci Academy, we believe that knowledge builds on knowledge and that through factual knowledge students become more curious and engaged; arts and science interweaves and layers this knowledge each day. We go beyond the curriculum to ensure creativity and autonomy, joy and belonging, and intentional decision making lead to authentic and connected learning experiences." – Antonio Kuklok, Superintendent, DaVinci Academy of Art and Science

Declining enrollment trends and widespread teacher shortages present formidable challenges for public educational institutions across the United States. Many charter schools face additional pressure due to inequitable facility funding, forcing administrators to maintain high standards with fewer resources than traditional district schools. Resolving these industry-wide pressures requires building supportive organizational cultures that value teacher voice and prioritize student well-being. By fostering collaborative leadership, open communication, and shared community values, resilient educational institutions attract dedicated teaching talent and create stable, enriching environments where students continue to achieve exceptional academic outcomes despite macro-level sector obstacles.

ROHM's New High Anti-surge Chip Resistors in "SDR01 Series" Achieve 0.33W Rated Power in 0402 Size

ROHM's New High Anti-surge Chip Resistors in "SDR01 Series" Achieve 0.33W Rated Power in 0402 Size

KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the "SDR01 Series" of high anti-surge chip resistors, achieving a high rated power of 0.33W in the 0402 (1005 Metric) size. Designed for electronic equipment where mounting densities continue to increase, the series is well suited for automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and AI server applications. The new products help save board space and reduce component count by enabling replacement of larger-size resistors and consolidation of resistors while maintaining the reliability required of anti-surge chip resistors.

SDR01 Series product lineup page: https://www.rohm.com/products/resistors/high-reliability-resistors/high-anti-surge-chip-resistors?PS_ResistorSize=1005(0402)#parametricSearch

Figures: Product features

https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M106254/202609035220/_prw_PI1fl_nzMTFAeK.jpg 

As electronic equipment becomes more highly functional and requires higher power, demand is rising across the automotive, industrial, and consumer markets for electronic components that combine compact size with high power handling. These trends are also increasing the need for smaller high-reliability chip resistors, including anti-surge products. In power supply circuits and around interfaces, resistance to surges and electrostatic discharge (ESD), as well as high-power capability, is required.

To address these needs, ROHM optimized the resistive element and electrode designs of the SDR01 Series. This enables high rated power to be guaranteed in the 0402 size while securing the reliability expected of high anti-surge chip resistors.

The new products guarantee 0.33W up to the rated terminal temperature of Tk=125 deg C. This makes them easier to use in demanding thermal environments, such as high-density mounting and areas around heat-generating components, helping reduce the thermal design burden.

In addition, these products achieve a TCR of plus or minus 100ppm/deg C for 10 ohms less than or equal to R less than or equal to 2.2 megohms. By suppressing resistance-value fluctuations caused by temperature changes, the products support stable circuit operation and contribute to smaller, more reliable power supply circuits and peripheral interface circuits.

ROHM will continue to expand its lineup of high-reliability chip resistors, contributing to greater miniaturization, higher power handling, and higher reliability in electronic equipment.

Alpha Ladder WealthX Among Asia's First to Bring xStocks US Tokenised Equities to Institutional and Accredited Investors

Alpha Ladder WealthX, Asia's leading Web2.5 wealth management platform, expands into tokenised global equities, building on the group's Memorandum of Understanding with Payward, developer of xStocks framework and parent company of Kraken

SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpha Ladder Finance Pte. Ltd. (Alpha Ladder), through Alpha Ladder WealthX, Asia's leading Web2.5 wealth management platform, today launched access to Payward's xStocks tokenised equities for institutional and accredited investors in selected markets in the region, making Alpha Ladder one of the first licensed wealth management firms in Asia to offer such access.

The launch follows the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Alpha Ladder, MetaComp and Payward to advance tokenised capital markets across APAC. Under the collaboration, Alpha Ladder will serve as a distribution partner for xStocks offering in selected regional markets.

Through Alpha Ladder WealthX, Alpha Ladder will distribute xStocks to institutional and accredited investors in the region, subject to applicable eligibility, onboarding and compliance requirements.

The launch extends Alpha Ladder's WealthX beyond traditional investment products into one of the fastest-growing areas of digital capital markets, giving eligible investors access to tokenised global equities through an established wealth management relationship.

xStocks brings publicly listed equities onto blockchain infrastructure through fully collateralised, 1:1-backed tokens, combining exposure to global equities with round-the-clock availability and digital-native settlement. According to Dune analytics data[1], xStocks lists over 700 assets, and have processed more than US$40 billion in combined transaction volume, with more than 200,000 unique holders globally.

The launch comes as tokenised securities gain increasing traction among institutional investors. Tokenised equities are among the fastest-growing segments of the broader Real-World Asset (RWA) market, with on-chain RWA value reaching approximately US$19.3 billion as of end-March 2026, up from approximately US$5.4 billion in January 2025, according to Coin Gecko[2].

Institutional interest in tokenised assets is also rising. According to the 2026 EY and Coinbase Institutional Investor Survey[3], 63% of institutional investors globally said their firms were very interested in tokenised assets, up from 57% a year earlier. McKinsey also estimates that total tokenised market capitalisation could reach approximately US$2 trillion by 2030, excluding cryptocurrencies and stablecoins[4].

As tokenisation moves further into mainstream capital markets, the focus is increasingly shifting from whether financial assets can be brought on-chain to how they can be accessed through financial channels that meet institutional expectations around governance, onboarding and compliance.

The launch of xStocks through Alpha Ladder WealthX marks a further expansion of Alpha Ladder's RWA offering, broadening access to tokenised global equities for institutional and accredited investors across APAC.

Alpha Ladder, MetaComp and Payward will continue to explore further tokenisation opportunities in the region, including additional products, counterparties and use cases, drawing on their respective capabilities across capital markets, digital asset infrastructure and institutional distribution.

GEELY RIDDARA Launches in South Africa, Further Expanding Its Global New Energy Pickup Presence

JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 28, Geely Riddara officially launched the right-hand-drive versions of the RD6 and RD6 ECON at the Festival of Motoring in South Africa. The launch further expands Riddara's presence in Southern Africa and giving local consumers a new option in the new energy pickup segment.

At the launch event, Greg Maruszewski, Chief Operating Officer of Geely Auto South Africa said, "For Geely Auto South Africa, that makes the Riddara more than the launch of another electric vehicle. It represents an opportunity to start a new conversation about what the South African bakkie can be."

Riddara's 4x4 track at the Festival of Motoring challenged media and visitors with steep gradients, side slopes, water crossings, and muddy terrain. The vehicles demonstrated strong performance, agile handling, and impressive off-road capability, receiving positive feedback for their performance and comfort.

Following the event, Riddara will participate in a cross-border expedition organized by Geely Auto. The journey will start in Johannesburg, South Africa, and continue to Xai-Xai, Mozambique, covering plateaus, valleys, grasslands and coastal areas. The long-distance journey across varying road conditions will further demonstrate the reliability and durability of the vehicles.

As the new energy pickup brand under Geely, Riddara has ranked No. 1 in China's new energy pickup market for four consecutive years since 2023, with a 47.9% market share in July 2026. Riddara also ranks No. 1 in new energy pickup sales in markets including Thailand, Chile and Uruguay.

Supported by new energy technologies, Riddara combines power, payload capacity and all-terrain capability with enhanced ride comfort and operating efficiency. The four-wheel-drive RD6 delivers a maximum power output of 315 kW and maximum torque of 595 N•m, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and offers a payload capacity of 1,030 kg and a maximum towing capacity of 3 tonnes. Its intelligent electric four-wheel-drive system supports multiple driving modes for snow, mud, off-road terrain and water crossings, while four-wheel independent suspension enhances handling and ride comfort.

In terms of operating costs, new energy pickups provide a more economical option for a variety of working environments. Riddara vehicles are currently used in plant-protection drone operations in China, pest-control services in Thailand, construction in Saudi Arabia, ranching in Uruguay and mining in Chile, reflecting the potential operating-cost advantages of new energy pickups in real-world applications.

Moving forward, Riddara will continue to draw on the technological and industrial strengths of China's new energy vehicle sector, expand its product portfolio to meet diverse market and customer needs, and offer global customers new energy pickups that combine performance, comfort, and operating efficiency.
