These include:- Digitised products: Many traditional toy and game manufacturers and brands are integrating electronics and new technologies with toys to enhance playability, such as the Dynamie Pixel Piano (Booth: 1E-C02), Upset Dog (Booth: 1C-F02), and the NASA Spirit Rover (Booth: 1C-F33).- Learning and play combined: In the hope that kids can learn while having fun, many parents choose toys that can improve cognitive, social, intellectual, and aesthetic development. As a result, there is a greater demand for educational and intellectual products, such as the Giant Panda Anatomy Model (Booth: 1D-C12), Adventure Globe (Booth: 1E-A02), Children's Play Sofa (Booth: 3F-G04), and Water Transfer Painting Set (Booth: 5B-B01).- Demand for sustainable products: As sustainable consumption has grown, more parents are inclined to choose eco-friendly toys to reduce their environmental impact. Examples include straw DIY marble run blocks (Booth: 1C-D02) and the Voices of Nature series of puzzles (Booth: 1D-A08).- Cross-age groups products: There is a growing popularity of toy designs and styles that cater to a wide range of age groups. Toys are no longer just for children; adults and even elderly are collecting toys, making the collectibles market a significant part of the toy industry. The Astro Boy Mechanical Clear Version (Booth: 1D-A26) is one example. The fair is actively developing the ageing market as well. For instance, a Hong Kong exhibitor has designed a wall game suitable for both the elderly and children, where the user must rotate cogs with both hands, and the vibrant visual stimulus helps to enhance concentration and left-right brain coordination (Booth: 1D-D22).Exhibition space growth in multiple zones at the Toys & Games FairToys & Games Fair saw an expansion in exhibition space in two major zones.

SEATTLE, WA, Jan 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Spectral Capital Corporation (OTCQB: FCCN), a pioneer in Quantum as a Service (QaaS) computing and decentralized cloud infrastructure, is pleased to announce the achievement of a major patent milestone as the first step in its plan to become a globally competitive leader in quantum computing patents."According to the World Intellectual Property Organization ("WIPO"), there were 350,000 patents filed worldwide in classical computing. Analysts estimate there are less than 40,000 patent applications that have ever been filed in quantum computing. This tells us that there is an enormous opportunity to innovate and protect innovation within quantum computing. We intend to compete hard to assert US intellectual property dominance within the quantum computing space," said Spectral chairman Sean Michael Brehm."As of today, Spectral will have filed 61 patents in the field of quantum computing. We intend to file a total of 104 patents in quantum computing by the end of January 2025, completing the initial patent filing from our acquisition of the Vogon Cloud technology. With the acquisition of Verdant Quantum and Quantomo combined with the innovations being championed by Dr. Wolf Kohn, Dr. Moshik Cohen and Chairman Sean Brehm, we have committed to filing more than 500 patent applications by the close of 2025," said Spectral's Chief Executive Officer, Jenifer Osterwalder. "According to the leading source of patent filings worldwide, The Patent 300 List, Nvidia had 464 patents issued in 2023. To be a global top 100 company in patents requires around 450 patents issued. Spectral intends to have 500 filings by the end of 2025, but these will be concentrated in quantum computing and hybrid computing. This will make us a global intellectual property leader in the field. Our innovations run the gamut, from unique methods to use synthetic data and Monte Carlo simulations to reduce quantum computing errors to novel approaches to the commoditization of cyber security in the quantum era. Spectral is proud to contribute important innovations that can help to maintain US dominance in this strategically critical domain. These patents secure our deep quantum technology platform, encompassing decentralized cloud, computing, advanced quantum algorithms, quantum databases, and room-temperature quantum chips," concluded Brehm.About Spectral Capital CorporationFounded in 2000 and based in Seattle, Washington, Spectral Capital (OTCQB:FCCN) is a technology startup accelerator and quantum incubator.

SINGAPORE, Jan 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - People often associate the end of the year as a time to wind down, slow down and get into the New Year celebration mood – but surprisingly, around the world, research has shown that stress levels actually increases during the holiday season, with year-end work deadlines, last-minute shopping, loneliness, and increased travel commitments as a large contribution to the additional pressure. With 87% of Singaporeans already experiencing high stress levels throughout the year, the number spikes further as the close of the year creeps in.In the post-pandemic era, research has proven that there is an intrinsic link between stress, immune function, and vulnerability to illnesses. The higher stress one faces on a day-to-day basis, the weaker the immune function becomes. Increased social interactions, feasting and late nights also causes a strain on the immunity and overall well-being of individuals.For example, the prevalence of leisure sickness, falling ill during or immediately after vacations, has been the focus of many researchers – why do people fall sick after a holiday break? Leisure sickness is caused by a combination of chronic stress, disrupted routines, and exposure to pathogens unfamiliar to the body from foreign lands, which have been shown to leave individuals with a weakened immune system, further underscoring the need for immune support during the holidays.In light of the holiday season, LAC (pronounced as L-A-C), is dedicated to maintaining optimal stress and immunity levels among individuals, to allow them to fully enjoy and immerse themselves in the season of giving with its TriAction C 1000 - Timed-Release and its best-seller, LAC Masquelier’s French Pine Bark Extract.LAC TriAction C 1000 - Timed-Release is formulated to support the immune system and help mitigate the effects of stress and seasonal flu. Packed with a revolutionary Vitamin C formula, the advanced timed-release technology ensures that individuals receive the right amount of Vitamin C, enhancing vitality and fortifying the immune system to stay strong and healthy.Stress-induced free radicals can significantly weaken the immune system and damage cells in the body. Rich in powerful antioxidants, LAC Masquelier’s French Pine Bark Extract helps to neutralise these harmful free radicals, strengthening the body’s natural defenses, promoting resilience against viruses and maintaining overall-wellbeing.

In the past 30 years, we have navigated a complex and ever-changing global political and economic landscape. We have had to face each challenge with agility, resilience and unwavering commitment, and these qualities have enabled SPRG to evolve from a local office in Hong Kong into one of the largest PR groups in the APAC region, boasting a cohesive family of 20 member companies.

With academic backing and an in-depth understanding of global trends, SPRG will conduct targeted surveys and research to provide tailored solutions to clients and the community. SPRG believes that such endeavours will not only meet the evolving needs of existing clients, but will also attract new ones, as well as further diversify the Group’s service offerings.In line with its service diversification efforts, SPRG launched Strategic DigitaLab (SDL) In 2024, the Group took a significant step forward by refreshing the SDL brand image. With exceptional storytelling capabilities, SDL excels across multiple platforms, attracting clients seeking large-scale content creation services that engage and inspire their target audiences. By harnessing collaborative creativity and digital expertise, SPRG is well positioned to seize early opportunities and meet the demands of major clients in this rapidly evolving landscape.In 2024, SPRG also sharpened its competitive edge by acquiring full ownership of Financial & Corporate Relations Pty Limited (FCR), an IR/financial communications agency with a 40-year legacy based in Sydney, Australia. This acquisition enhances the Group's ability to serve clients in the southern hemisphere, and SPRG looks forward to achieving breakthroughs with FCR's support.SPRG’s commitment to excellence has resulted in over 540 awards and accolades received since its inception, including Asia Pacific Network of the Year, Public Relations Agency of the Year in Asia Pacific, Public Relations Agency of the Year in Asia, Greater China Independent Agency of the Year, Hong Kong Consultancy of the Year, Asia Pacific Financial Consultancy of the Year, Best Crisis Management Team, and Market Leadership in Public Relations, etc. “We would not be celebrating our 30th anniversary and the many successes that have come without the steadfast dedication and teamwork of our colleagues”, said Richard. “As SPRG embarks on a new chapter of development, we will remain committed to excellence and innovation in the public relations industry. In the future, we will continue to enhance service offerings, embrace automation and technology, and offer training and exposure to our teams.

SHANGHAI, China - January 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, 'Everest', or the 'Company'), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that with the official implementation of the latest update of the National Reimbursement Drug List ("NRDL") on January 1, 2025, NEFECON(R) will apply the NRDL pricing, which will benefit more IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.NEFECON(R) was included in the NRDL in November 2024. As the first IgAN etiological treatment drug fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), NEFECON(R) received NDA approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China in November 2023 through Priority Review. It is the only approved treatment for primary IgAN in adults at risk of disease progression in China.Based on policies in various provinces and cities, NEFECON(R) will be eligible for NRDL reimbursement starting in January. Patients will be able to obtain the medication at designated medical institutions or pharmacies and benefit from the reimbursed pricing. The official implementation of the NRDL will expand the accessibility of NEFECON(R), alleviate the financial burden on patients, and enable more IgAN patients in China to benefit from this innovative drug.Results from the Chinese population of the Phase 3 clinical study NefIgArd study shows that NEFECON(R) reduces kidney function decline by 66%, and delays disease progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years. With its innovative mechanism of action and clinical advantages, NEFECON(R) has been recommended by several authoritative treatment guidelines. Most recently, it was included in the KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Immunoglobulin A Nephrophthy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft), issued by the kidney disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization.About NEFECON(R)NEFECON(R) is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models.In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas Therapeutics, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize NEFECON(R) in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, China and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets.

WINCHESTER, ENGLAND, Jan 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Millions of people try vegan diets each January as part of the global Veganuary campaign. In 2024, roughly 25 million people sought a fresh start for their health and the environment through vegan diets. Yet in the decade since Veganuary was founded in 2014, dogs and cats have been almost entirely excluded. Now however, veterinary Professor Andrew Knight is calling for Veganuary to be extended to pets.Writing in The Conversation, Knight notes that dogs and cats may also experience health benefits associated with vegan diets: "By late 2024, 11 studies in dogs, three in cats, and one systematic review covering both had all demonstrated that dogs and cats thrive on modern vegan or vegetarian diets. Certain health benefits appear consistent, such as a reduction in obesity and of conditions that may be triggered by animal-sourced allergens, like itchy skin and ears and gastrointestinal problems." However, he notes that "all diets, including vegan diets, should be manufactured by reputable pet food companies which carefully formulate their food to be nutritionally sound."Professor Knight is a very experienced dog and cat veterinarian with a PhD in vegan pet food. His most recent study examined the environmental benefits of such diets. These shattered long-standing assumptions that it is only people who need to change their diets for environmental reasons.Knight found that in nations with high pet ownership - such as the US, pet food consumes around 20% of all land animals killed for food, as well as billions of fish and marine animals. Globally, it's around 9% - even after accounting for the use of by-products of human food production.This means at least six billion land animals are killed each year to feed the world's approximately 470 million pet dogs. Use of nutritionally sound vegan dog food would provide enormous savings of land and fresh water, which could be used for reforestation, re-wilding, biodiversity increase, and carbon capture. It would spare a staggering 0.57 gigatonnes (1 gigatonne is 1 billion tonnes) of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases each year - 1.5 times the 0.38 gigatonnes emitted by the whole of the UK in 2023.Because most plant calories fed to livestock animals are lost during conversion to meat, milk or eggs, directly consuming plant-based ingredients can also save food energy. A global transition to vegan dog food would spare sufficient food energy to feed around 450 million people annually - or the entire human population of the EU.Sustainability benefits are large even considering the world's roughly 370 million pet cats. A global transition to nutritionally sound vegan cat food would spare sufficient food energy to feed around 70 million people annually - larger than the human population of the UK.Said Knight, "An average-sized dog can consume as much meat as a person. If you want better health and environmental outcomes in 2025, try Veganuary - and please don't forget your pets!" Advice is available via his website.Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Representing Animals Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年1月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 經過多年的爆發式增長後，現製飲品市場的競爭依舊激烈。在眾多品牌中，蜜雪冰城的表現引起了市場的關註。作為中國及全球最大的現製飲品龍頭（以截至2024年9月30日門店數計），蜜雪冰城在規模、供應鏈、品牌力等方面構築了良好的競爭優勢，穩居行業領先地位。1月1日，蜜雪冰城更新港股A1招股書，其業務表現又有哪些新的突破？國內國外穩步擴張 門店數躍居全球第一隨著行業度過跑馬圈地的高速擴張期，如何挖掘新的業務增量，已成為頭部品牌們面臨的一道必答題。蜜雪冰城通過聚焦下沉與出海這兩大極具發展潛力的市場，穩步推進其門店擴張戰略，捕捉市場發展機遇。國內市場方面，蜜雪冰城憑藉廣泛的門店網絡，持續滲透三四線以及鄉鎮下沉市場。截至2024年9月30日，公司在中國內地的門店數超過40,000家，覆蓋超過300個地級市、1,700個縣城和4,900個鄉鎮，其中超過23,000家位於三線及以下城市，占比達到57.2%。在國內穩居市場鰲頭的同時，蜜雪冰城積極響應一帶一路倡議，積極進軍海外市場。截至2024年9月30日，公司在中國內地以外擁有約4,800家門店，包括印尼、越南、馬來西亞、泰國、菲律賓、柬埔寨、老撾、新加坡、澳大利亞、韓國和日本11個國家以及香港和澳門地區。其中，越南和印尼兩國開店數量分別超過1,300家及2,600家，成為公司國際化佈局的主力。得益於國際國內的同步發力，2024前九個月，蜜雪冰城淨增門店數超過7,700家（相較於2023年底）。截至2024年9月30日，公司門店數超過45,000家，就門店數量而言，蜜雪冰城已超越星巴克，成為中國以及全球最大的現制飲品企業。門店表現亮眼 業績高基數之上延續增長值得一提的是，蜜雪冰城並非單純追求門店數量的增長，而是經過深入研究市場需求、消費趨勢之後的精心佈局，這使其新開門店能夠快速站穩腳跟，為可持續發展奠定堅實基礎。從2024年前9個月的平均單店日均終端營業額看，2024年新開業的門店平均單店日均終端營業額表現不輸老店。同時，蜜雪冰城老店的運營表現也十分穩健。得益於精準的市場洞察、持續的產品創新、高效的供應鏈管理以及強大的市場口碑，老店（2021年或之前開業門店）的平均單店日均終端營業額在2021年至2023年期間仍呈現年化4%以上的增長，2023年及以前開業的門店在2024年前九個月的平均單店日均終端營業額均超過2023年全年的水平。在高效門店擴張戰略的支持下，蜜雪冰城在過往較高業績基數的基礎上，依然實現了收入、利潤的雙雙增長，盈利能力進一步提升。2024年前9個月，實現收入人民幣187億元，同比增長超過21%；淨利潤人民幣35億元，同比增長超過42%。毛利率為32.4%，同比提升2.7個百分點；净利率為18.7%，同比提升2.8個百分點。中長期看，隨著城鎮化的持續推進以及居民收入水平的提升，現製飲品消費數量和消費能力將不斷增長，為行業發展提供廣闊的市場空間。蜜雪冰城以高性價比產品俘獲用戶心智，國內市場持續深耕下沉市場，將進一步鞏固其領先優勢，同時，國際化戰略的深入推進也將為公司打造新的增長引擎。在國內國際市場共同驅動下，蜜雪冰城有望釋放更大的增長彈性。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
