Featuring 25 original works by Professor Lin, the exhibition explored three themes - anti-war, anti-poverty, and anti-pollution - and vividly embodied Professor Lin’s vision of “Art for Peace”, a concept that transcends aesthetics and seeks to inspire moral reflection and intercultural understanding.Distinguished speakers exchange views on art, culture, and peace during the academic symposium held as part of Professor Lin Xiang Xiong’s exhibition “The Vicissitudes of Life” in Paris.During the exhibition, a high-level academic symposium was held, bringing together leading international scholars, philosophers, and cultural leaders to reflect on “Intercultural Dialogue at the Crossroads” and “Rebuilding the Concept of Peace through Art.” Distinguished speakers included French writer and human rights activist Marek Halter, eminent philosopher and sinologist François Jullien, intellectual publisher François L’Yvonnet, Swiss curator and sociologist Barbara Polla, special adviser to the President of the Arab World Institute Claude Mollard, cultural diplomacy advisor Yves Marek, and retired French Air Force General Étienne Copel. Throughout the discussions, Professor Lin shared his unique insights on the times, on art, and on the essence of peace, sparking strong resonance and deep dialogue.On 12 September, the inaugural “Lin Xiang Xiong Art for Peace Prize” ceremony was held with great success. The competition drew 1,883 entries from 100 countries around the world, far exceeding expectations. This overwhelming response underscored the wide recognition of Professor Lin’s “Art for Peace” advocacy, echoing the common aspirations of today’s world. Professor Lin announced that the award will be established as a biennial event, continuing as a major artistic initiative dedicated to peace.The exhibition and symposium attracted a full house at the historic Hôtel de l’Industrie in Paris.“This exhibition is more of an awakening of thought than a presentation of art,” said Professor Lin Xiang Xiong. “Every brushstroke is a testimony of time, a silent dialogue between past and present, pain and healing. Whether through the exhibition or the establishment of the Peace Prize, I hope art is not merely for admiration but can truly touch hearts, serve as a bridge between cultures, and awaken the soft conscience deep within humanity.”Exhibition view of “The Vicissitudes of Life”The exhibition also marks a milestone in Professor Lin’s artistic journey and heralds the opening of the Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery in Penang, scheduled for mid-December 2025. Covering 8,000 square meters, the gallery will house Professor Lin’s major works and also providing a platform for emerging artists to pursue their dreams. It will stand as one of the largest private art galleries in the region, strengthening Malaysia’s role as a hub of cultural diplomacy and intercultural understanding in Southeast Asia.Through “The Vicissitudes of Life,” Professor Lin once again demonstrates that art is a messenger of thought and conscience. With clarity, he advocates peace, and as an artist, he chooses his own path - through the soft power of culture, through words, and through his brush - to voice his deep concern for war, pollution, and poverty. With art as his language, he calls upon fellow artists to join his cause, uniting their strength to speak out for peace and the future of humanity.Download high-resolution images from this LINK.About Lin Xiang XiongProfessor Lin Xiang Xiong is a renowned artist, entrepreneur, and advocate for global security through art.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit, a global leader in healthcare workforce development, today launched two new global credentials for healthcare workers specializing in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care.The Certified Global Health Worker-Rehabilitation (CGHW-R) and the Certified Global Health Worker-Rehabilitation Advanced (CGHW-RA) have been developed specifically for eligible health workers worldwide who wish to have their applied experience and competencies in rehab care recognized and verified by passing a certification examination. These credentials, along with the Certified Global Nurse-Rehabilitation (CGN-R) that TruMerit established last year, are intended to advance and improve services for the more than two billion people worldwide who need this care.The CGHW-RA credential was developed for those with a degree or diploma in a rehabilitation field. These include clinicians, educators, and instructors with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, or other rehab-related specializations.The CGHW-R credential was designed for those who have rehab health experience but have not completed post-secondary education in an area of rehab specialization. These would include technicians, assistive personnel, nursing assistants, and home or community health aides working in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care settings.In addition to education and degree requirements, candidates for these credentials must have at least two years of work experience in a rehabilitation, habilitation, or restorative care setting during the last five years. Upon verification of their credentials by TruMerit, they must pass a proctored exam that is offered at more than 1,000 test centers worldwide.In 2019, CARF International, a non-profit organization that accredits rehabilitation care providers worldwide, alerted TruMerit (known then as CGFNS International) about the growing demand for validating practice competence of the rehabilitation health workforce and raising standards across the care continuum. TruMerit and rehabilitation experts from across the world began the process to create exam-based global certifications for healthcare professionals working in rehabilitation, habilitation, and restorative care settings. The process has included more than 200 subject matter experts from 45 countries from all world regions and income levels."Caring for the huge and growing population of persons living with a disability is one of the most pressing issues facing healthcare today. By validating the knowledge and skills of those who devote their careers to providing this care, global credentials will help drive efforts to expand and equip this vital workforce to meet the challenges of the future. We are grateful to the global team of rehab care experts who helped make these credentials possible," said Julia To Dutka, Chief of TruMerit's Global Health Workforce Development Institute, which is leading the initiative.View more information on TruMerit's global rehab certification program.Additionally, last month TruMerit unveiled its Certified Global Nurse (CGN) credential for first-level, general nurses (RNs), along with a reinvented Nurse Qualifying Exam.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development.

SINGAPORE, 16 September 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The highly anticipated launch of “How Not to Lose the Billion Dollars You Didn’t Know You Had” by Sissi Goh — Singapore’s foremost legacy planner, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker — drew an elite audience of entrepreneurs, wealth managers, and senior professionals.Held at the sophisticated Executive Lounge, One Raffles Quay, the evening was graced by Guest of Honour, Associate Professor Edward Tay, Head of CET & Executive Education at the Asian Institute of Digital Finance, National University of Singapore (NUS), who lauded the book’s timely and practical insights on safeguarding wealth and values across generations.The event featured a thought-provoking panel discussion with some of the region’s brightest minds: Alan Ang (Chair, Asia Blockchain Association), Vineeth Narasimhan (Founder & CEO, Kristal.AI), Annie Nguyen (Senior Regional Enterprise Sales Director, MNC), and Somnath Adak (CEO, APTT). Together, they explored the intersection of blockchain, AI, and digital finance, and how these forces are reshaping legacy planning in a rapidly evolving world. Mett.AI was the alliance partner for this bespoke event.The evening’s blend of intellectual dialogue, actionable insights, and meaningful networking made it a truly memorable gathering that set a new benchmark for conversations on wealth stewardship in the digital era.In her book, Sissi Goh explores why wealth often fails to survive beyond the third generation, addressing challenges ranging from poorly structured wills to emerging risks such as digital assets. “Legacy is not just about money—it is about meaning. ”Wealth that isn’t properly planned doesn’t just disappear; it fractures families and erodes harmony. With the right strategies, we can ensure that both wealth and values are carried forward across generations,” said Sissi Goh during the launch.In his address, Professor Tay commended Sissi’s work, highlighting the timeliness of her book in helping Singaporeans and global families navigate complex issues of wealth, governance, and generational transition.

Sissi’s book sheds much-needed light on how families can prepare for the future in both traditional and digital economies.”Discussions explored how blockchain, AI, and digital finance are reshaping wealth and inheritance, with a central question: “How do families protect their legacy in an age where wealth is no longer only dollars and cents, but also digital and data-driven?”About Sissi Goh-Sissi Goh is a Singapore-based Legacy Planner, Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP), award-winning author, and TEDx speaker.

Lac Knife graphite shows 26% higher cathode density in battery test, opening premium market opportunities beyond anodes, and zero-waste potential.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 15, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Quebec, is pleased to announce highly encouraging early results from independent battery cell testing conducted by Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V"), a New York-based leader in lithium-ion battery technology and gigafactory design.Initial results demonstrate that spheroidization rejects from the Lac Knife deposit - typically considered waste - produced a twenty-six percent (26%) increase in cathode electrode density in single-side coated electrodes (2.39 g/cc vs. 1.76 g/cc baseline). A total of four percent (4%) conductive additive was used in the lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") cathode, made up of two percent (2%) carbon black and two percent (2%) Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) Ultima (50:50 ratio). The tests also showed equivalent conductivity and comparable cycling stability up to forty (40) cycles. These findings suggest Lac Knife graphite by-products may represent a high-value conductive additive and significant energy-storage advantages with potential to replace or complement carbon black, the industry standard, while enabling a zero-waste processing model.Higher cathode density allows more active material to be packed into each cell, effectively increasing energy storage without enlarging the battery size. This improvement allows battery manufacturers to achieve higher volumetric energy density, better efficiency, and lower cost per kilowatt-hour, all while maintaining the inherent safety and cycle life of LFP cells like C4V's BMLMP (P Series cells) which currently increase voltage and energy density by fifteen percent (15%) compared to typical LFP cells. With this innovation, Focus is enabling the next generation of high-performance, cost-effective lithium-ion batteries - an advantage that is particularly meaningful for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) supporting renewable energy & EV systems. The ability to achieve greater density without sacrificing conductivity or cycling stability underscores the potential value of Lac Knife graphite as a next-generation conductive additive.This opportunity is further reinforced by the rapid growth in the market for lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode conductive auxiliary agents. According to a January 2025 report by Markets and Markets, the global market is expected to expand from approximately US$1.80 billion in 2024 to US$4.32 billion by 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 19.1%1. With such robust growth forecasts, early evidence that Lac Knife graphite can compete with and potentially outperform conventional carbon black highlights the strategic opportunity for Focus Graphite to participate in a high-value, high-growth specialty market.If validated through larger-scale testing, this breakthrough could enable Focus to fully utilize its concentrate, create high-value by-products, and diversify into cathode markets all while offering ESG advantages through Quebec's renewable hydro energy and a potential clean-energy carbon footprint. The Company plans to advance testing to single pouch cells (150mAh) & multilayer pouch cells (3Ah), explore different blend ratios (e.g. 60/40 or 70/30), and continue joint validation with C4V to assess scalability."These early results validate the potential for Lac Knife graphite to expand beyond anode applications," said Baasit Ali Shaik Sulaiman, VP Supply Chain of C4V. "Often single digit improvements in battery applications are notable. We look forward to advancing this collaboration through larger format batteries as part of our Digital DNA® program and the potential of this product for the North American supply chain.""We continue to showcase the versatility of our Lac Knife deposit," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "A twenty-six percent improvement in cathode density is an encouraging early result in an industry where even small gains matter. Enabled by Lac Knife's unique flake and our use of a thermal fluidized bed oven, these findings suggest that by-products may be transformed into high-value cathode materials with zero-waste potential. While further testing and validation are required, this work indicates possible applications in Battery Energy Storage Systems, one of the fastest-growing segments of the market. This aligns with our strategy to maximize the value of Lac Knife's graphite flakes and advance opportunities to supply premium materials to downstream customers."Figure 1: Cycle Performance Comparison: LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_001full.jpgFigure 2: Normalized Cycling Comparison of LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_002full.jpgFigure 3: Summary of Cathode Performance Metrics, LKC Ultima Blend vs. C4V Baseline Carbon BlackTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_003full.jpgFigure 4: Product Information Bulletin for Lac Knife Cathode (LKC) UltimaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/266408_fe817751b4ae59a7_004full.jpgAbout Charge CCCV (C4V)C4V™ is a lithium-ion battery technology company possessing critical insights related to the optimum performance of lithium-ion batteries and Gigafactory's.

HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong’s healthcare sector surged by nearly 30% in the last decade, with the total number of related businesses now exceeding 3,000. Details of this rapid and sustained growth are among the findings of a new study by HKTDC Research, titled “I&T Cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Hong Kong Partners with Mainland Cities in Advancing Biomedical Upgrade in the GBA”.This report was produced alongside “Seizing GBA Opportunities: Biomedical Co-operation and Development”, a joint research initiative with the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province.Overall, the research demonstrates that not only is Hong Kong successfully collaborating with key Guangdong GBA cities and Macao in biomedical innovation, but also that this collective endeavour is on course for sustained growth.The successes to date have also been reflected primarily in the overall increase in the sector's value in regional terms.Hong Kong in step with GBA biomedical partnersJust as Hong Kong has developed a sizable pharmaceutical and medical device cluster over recent years – with 3,020 related companies in 2023 as opposed to 2,340 in 2013 – so, too, has Guangdong looked to develop related resources.Acknowledging the benefits of such a partnership, HKTDC Research Director Irina Fan said: “Thanks to extensive government support, technological innovation has been a key driver of Hong Kong’s economic growth, allowing it to effectively align with the national prioritisation of new quality productive forces. Earlier this year, the Guangdong Government announced action plans to grow its biomedical and healthcare industry cluster by around 50% by 2027, increasing its value from RMB 664 billion in 2023 to more than a trillion. Tellingly, a key element of this plan is to boost development by leveraging the existing strengths of the Hong Kong platform.”“Being able to share this expertise with our partner cities in the GBA, with a particular focus on biomedicals, is a huge opportunity for all concerned and one set to deliver immense benefits nationally and even globally.”Hong Kong: Driving biotech innovationAmong the many advantages global biotech businesses might seek to leverage is the comprehensive array of funding opportunities Hong Kong has access to, thanks to its status as a leading international financial centre.As of June 2025, total market capitalisation of the Hong Kong-listed healthcare sector was US$441 billion – accounting for ~8.1% of the total market cap of Hong Kong-listed companies – which is three times the US$144 billion figure recorded at the end of 2017, pre-dating the launch of the HKEX Chapter 18A regime.Since the Chapter 18A listing rules came into effect – which allows biotech firms without recorded revenue or profits to list – 73 biotech companies have listed, collectively raising US$16 billion as of mid-2025.Expanding on the range of benefits Hong Kong can offer to biotech businesses based in partner GBA cities, Wing Chu, HKTDC Deputy Director of Research (Officer-in-Charge), said: “Beyond its financial resources, Hong Kong has several technical capabilities that will make a real difference to GBA businesses, as they look to expand their activities throughout the mainland and into many of the overseas markets. In particular, the city’s advanced clinical trial services, all of which yield internationally accepted data, make Hong Kong the ideal launchpad for any regional healthcare venture looking to go global.”At present, the clinical data derived through Hong Kong-based trials has been approved for use by many of the world’s leading regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration, the EU’s European Medicines Agency and Mainland China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).In addition, many of Hong Kong’s foremost healthcare institutions, including Queen Mary Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong Eye Hospital and Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, have secured NMPA accreditation.The GBA: A world-leading biotech innovation hubIn terms of international recognition, the World Intellectual Property Organization designated the Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster as the world’s leading innovation hub in its 2025 Global Innovation Index. This, in part at least, was in recognition of the lead role biotechnology plays within this cutting-edge cluster.It is also important to acknowledge the extraordinary growth of Hong Kong’s biotech and health start-up sectors, which have developed far more rapidly than many comparable sectors.Indeed, between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11%. This included a range of pioneering businesses in sectors, such as drug development, gene editing technology, medical device innovation and precision medical solutions.Outlining how future intra-regional cooperation could benefit all parties, Cherry Yeung, HKTDC Research Senior Economist with oversight of these new reports, said: “Hong Kong is already seamlessly connected with many of the pharmaceutical manufacturers and markets in Mainland China, thanks to its strengths in R&D and international trade. For their part, the GBA cities deliver considerable production as well as resource support, creating a real synergy across the board. With Guangdong committed to further expanding its biomedical sector, this will foster a new generation of cross-industry collaboration.”Photo download: http://bit.ly/4nc0SAcProduction and Trading of Drugs and Medical Supplies (Source: Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong)Between 2018 and 2024, the number of Hong Kong-based biotech and healthtech start-ups more than quadrupled from 110 to 510, while the sectors’ share of the city’s total start-up ecosystem rose from 4% to 11% (Source: InvestHK)Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Johnny TsuiTel: (852) 2584 4395Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
