With the growing demand for high-quality international produce in Singapore, aT aims to introduce more consumers to the unique textures, flavors, and versatility of Korean rice and fruits.Distinctive Korean FlavoursKorean cuisine is celebrated not only for its bold flavors but also for its numerous health benefits, thanks to its emphasis on fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients and time-honored culinary traditions. A cornerstone of Korean food is its use of fermented ingredients such as kimchi and doenjang (soybean paste), which are packed with probiotics that support gut health, improve digestion, and enhance overall well-being. These naturally fermented foods contribute to a balanced diet, aligning with the increasing consumer focus on digestive health and immune-boosting nutrition.Renowned for its chewy texture and exceptional quality, Korean rice has established itself as a distinctive staple in Singapore’s culinary landscape, setting it apart from varieties such as Thai jasmine rice and Vietnamese broken rice. Naturally gluten-free and rich in essential nutrients, Korean rice as well as rice products serves as the foundation for many beloved dishes, including bibimbap, tteokguk, and tteokbokki. Bibimbap stands out as a nutritionally balanced dish, featuring a vibrant medley of Korean vegetables that are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants – key elements of a health-conscious diet. The focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients aligns with the growing global demand for healthier food choices, as reported by The Business Research Company, the functional foods market is projected to expand from $281.3 billion in 2024 to $315.1 billion in 2025, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%.Beyond staple grains, Korean fruits such as Shine Muscat grapes and premium strawberries have gained international recognition for their exceptional sweetness and quality. Frequently used in both savory and dessert dishes, these fruits are not only a treat for the palate but also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, further reinforcing the health benefits of Korean cuisine. As consumers worldwide increasingly prioritise immune-boosting foods, the demand for nutrient-dense Korean ingredients continues to rise.Premium K-Food Exhibition: A Display of Various Korean Rice Products as well as Other Korean ProduceAt the event, a stunning display of premium K-Food export products took center stage.

Visitors also had the chance to discover a variety of rice-based delicacies, including porridge, tteokbokki, and rice cakes.The fresh produce display corner was undoubtedly the centerpiece of the event.

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), a world leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), has received the prestigious EMAR/FR 145 Maintenance Organization Approval for component maintenance from the French Military Continuing Airworthiness Authority, DSAE. This approval underscores GA-ASI's commitment to the highest standards of safety, compliance, and operational excellence in military aviation.The EMAR framework is a set of regulations developed from commercial aerospace standards (FAA/EASA) that are designed to ensure airworthiness for European military aircraft. It establishes a common airworthiness framework recognized by military airworthiness authorities worldwide. EMAR/FR 145 certification authorizes maintenance organizations to perform critical maintenance tasks while ensuring strict adherence to safety, reliability, and documentation requirements.GA-ASI's EMAR/FR 145 approval allows the company to issue EMAR Form 1s (Return to Service forms) for components serviced by the approved maintenance organization, confirming the safety and airworthiness of the equipment. This recognition applies to GA-ASI's maintenance activities at its Poway and Adelanto, California, facilities and covers CAT C (component maintenance) services."This approval is a significant achievement for GA-ASI, positioning the company to better serve international customers, especially military users of our MQ-9A and MQ-9B UAS platforms," said Sam Richardson, GA-ASI vice president of Sustainment. "The ability to leverage the EMAR/FR 145 certification streamlines the company's processes, reduces costs, and accelerates future airworthiness pursuits, as many future customers will recognize this certification rather than requiring a full, independent certification process."By obtaining EMAR/FR 145 approval, GA-ASI further demonstrates its ability to meet the stringent demands of the global defense market. The framework's widespread recognition ensures that GA-ASI can expand operations and offer high-quality, compliant maintenance services to international customers, ultimately driving company growth in global markets.This certification offers significant operational and financial benefits for both GA-ASI and its customers. For GA-ASI, the approval reduces future oversight costs by leveraging the DSAE Audit Team's oversight activities, ensuring a more efficient and cost-effective certification process for future non-French EMAR customers. For customers, the EMAR/FR 145 approval provides a framework recognized internationally, offering a streamlined maintenance certification process. The recognition agreements between EMAR and non-EMAR countries allow future customers to leverage GA-ASI's French approval, saving time and resources compared to a full certification effort.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Highlights:Drill hole CS25-027 encountered seven (7) spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 179.6 metres (m), followed by two additional intervals of 58 m and 91.8 m of continuous spodumene pegmatite.Drill hole CS25-024/24A intersected a total of six (6) individual spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 39.5 m.Drill hole CS25-025 encountered nine (9) spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 20.4 m.Drill hole CS25-026 encountered 10 spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 21.2 m.Assays are pending on the approximately 2,570 m of core drilled in the first four (4) holes completed to date in the winter drill campaign at the Cisco Project.Drilling continues with step outs to both the east and south.Vancouver, BC, Mar 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the first four holes of the winter 2025 expansion drilling campaign at the Company's Cisco Lithium Project (the "Project" or the "Cisco Project"), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada.Multiple wide intercepts of continuous spodumene pegmatite were encountered within a total of 2,570 metres of drilling completed to date, significantly increasing the extent of previously encountered mineralization (see Figure 1). All holes intercepted pegmatites with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."We are extraordinarily pleased with these initial findings from our winter campaign which has not only produced one of our top holes in terms of the total amount of spodumene pegmatite per hole, but continues to provide important information about the mineralization at Cisco," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "We are continuing to explore the robust and continuous nature of Cisco's mineralization with additional step outs to both the south and east.""The first four holes of the winter drill program have expanded the strike length of the mineralized system and has confirmed that it continues to extend to the south, further increasing Cisco's potential scale," said Q2 VP Exploration Neil McCallum. "Hole-27, with 179.6 metres of continuous spodumene pegmatite, plus an additional 58 and 91.8 metres of continuous spodumene pegmatite, lends further support to our theory of a south-trending mineralized system, which now extends over a kilometre."Figure 1. Map of Drilling area, Cisco ProjectWinter 2025 Exploration Program OverviewThe current 2025 Winter Program is targeting 6,000 - 8,000 m of drilling with 200 - 400 m step outs with the primary objective of expanding upon the exceptionally promising drill results from the inaugural 2024 campaign, which included:Drill hole CS-24-018 - 215.6 m at 1.69% Li 2 O;Drill hole CS-24-021 - 347.1 m at 1.35% Li 2 O; andDrill hole CS-24-023 - 188.6 m at 1.56% Li 2 O.One diamond drill rig tested to the southwest of drill hole CS-24-023 to define the strike length:Drill hole CS25-025 was collared approximately 275 m south of hole CS24-023; andDrill hole CS25-027 is located 200 m southeast of hole CS25-025.This fence of holes was designed to test the southward extension of the large and wide mineralized system and did so successfully with hole CS25-027's widest continuous interval of 179.6 m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite.One diamond drill rig tested to the east of drill holes CS-24-018 and CS-24-021 to define potential additional parallel pegmatite zones:Drill hole CS25-024A was drilled as a follow-up to hole CS25-024 which was lost due to difficult drilling conditions. It was collared approximately 400 m southeast of hole CS24-022; andDrill hole CS25-026 was collared approximately 400 m from CS24-021 and 285 m north of hole CS25-024A.Drilling remains ongoing, with step outs continuing both east and south.Figure 2. Drill Rig Locations at the Cisco Lithium ProjectSummary of Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite IntervalsThe pegmatite intervals (greater than 2 m) of drill holes CS-25-024A to 027 are reported below in detail (Table 1).Table 1. Summary of Spodumene-Pegmatite Intervals, Cisco ProjectThe mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of holes CS25-024/24A to CS25-027 and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium.Figure 3. Core from the Current Drill Program at Cisco Lithium ProjectSampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drilling was conducted using diamond drill rig with NQ sized core and all drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Drill Hole Collar InformationThe summary of drill holes completed to date, including basic location and dip/azimuth is detailed below (Table 2).Coordinates are in UTM NAD83, zone 18All holes are NQ-Size diamond drill coreAzimuth and dip are reported as planned, and will deviate down-holeReported hole depths are subject to minor changes based on final core observationsTable 2.

香港, 2025年3月20日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 亨得利控股有限公司（「亨得利」或「公司」及其子公司「集团」，股票编号：3389）宣布截至2024年12月31日止12个月（「回顾年内」）之全年业绩。2024年，国际环境错综复杂，地缘政治冲突、区域性战乱及贸易保护主义愈演愈烈，世界经济增长动能依然偏弱。于中国而言，经济总量实现了新的突破，但风险隐患仍然较多。面对复杂的环境，本集团秉承「行稳致远」的原则，顺应市场调整业务，保生存、求发展，努力维护股东的利益。截至2024年12月31日止，本集团收入录得1,043,555,000元（人民币，下同；（2023年12月31日：1,421,454,000元），较去年同期下降了26.6%；高端消费配套业务等收入为688,104,000元（2023年12月31日：710,708,000元），较去年同期下降3.2%，大宗商品贸易收入为355,451,000元（2023年12月31日：710,746,000元），较去年同期下降50.0%。集团年度录得亏损约55,472,000元（2023年12月31日：溢利35,191,000元），股东应占亏损约为65,161,000元（2023年12月31日：溢利33,885,000元）。亏损的的主要原因是：销售及毛利下降，物业、厂房、设备的折旧费用上升及汇率波动导致营运单位产生外汇兑换亏损等。回顾年度内，中国经济压力承重，集团的高端消费配套业务受到了一定的影响。但集团采取多种措施应对复杂的经营环境，取得了较为明显的成效。年度内，高端消费配套业务的销售虽然有些许下降，但利润较去年同期仍有良好的提升。回顾年度内，集团的大宗商品国际贸易业务主要为铁矿石、动力煤及焦煤向中国内地的进口。受国际、国内经济环境的影响，铁矿需求走弱，矿砂及煤炭等产品的市场价格波动较大，致集团的国际大宗商品贸易额及利润较去年同期均有所下降。年度内，集团计划于墨西哥建设一个集清关、进口、运输、仓储于一体的大宗货物中转物流园区，致力于服务中国大型企业。2024年全球干散海运市场整体波动增长。集团紧抓市场上涨时机，大力拓展业务。年度内，集团成功开发了中国国家能源集团、澳洲兖矿、天元锰业集团、印度钢铁管理局有限公司、印度安塞乐米塔尔集团等一系列国内外知名大型矿山、电力和钢铁企业。在深耕传统运输航线外，首次开辟土耳其至中国铝矾土运输航线，幷签订了长期运输协议。本年度，集团海运业务收入与利润均取得了良好的成绩。当前，于全球来看，政治动荡不安趋势明显，经营环境依然复杂严峻。而中国内地经济运行除了外部环境变化带来的不利影响外，自身发展也面临一定的困难和挑战。但是，中国经济基础稳、韧性强、潜能大，长期向好的支撑条件和基本趋势没有变相信中国内地经济发展动能会持续增强，发展态势将持续向好。新的一年，本集团仍将坚持「行稳致远、持续经营」之原则，背靠中国内地「稳中求进、以进促稳」的经济发展环境，紧贴市场，谨慎而稳妥地继续国际贸易的进程，幷不断扩充与加强与国际贸易密切相关的国际海运业务，努力成长，以冀成为国际海运供应链中较强的一员，实现企业突破性的发展。集团亦仍将顺应市场需求，面向中国内地及国际双市场，不断提升商业空间一体化服务水平；调整高端名表配套产品的生产，同时展开有限多元化的业务进程，加强高端消费配套生产在珠宝、化妆品及手机等其他高端生活品领域的拓展，将商业空间美化服务扩充至生活空间美化服务领域等，继而成为高端消费配套生态链中不可或缺的一个独立环节。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, Mar 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science at Brawijaya University, Danung Nur Adli Spt., MSc., MPt, has developed an integrated chicken coop monitoring system to increase the potential productivity of broiler chickens. The system uses the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile apps.Malang, East Java - Danung Nur Adli (right), a Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science at Brawijaya University, explains the functions of his IoT-based chicken coop temperature monitoring system. (ANTARA FOTO/ARI BOWO SUCIPTO)The innovation was initiated in 2019, when Danung began designing ways to use technology in traditional 'open' model chicken coops to develop the economic value of male chicks that are often viewed as waste. "We didn't know what to do with the male chicks. They were usually raised to be sold as broiler chickens," Danung said in Malang, East Java, on Friday. "We have designed a real-time technology service for chickens, whose goal is to increase the productivity of broiler chickens."Danung's IoT-based chicken coop is also designed as an alternative to more sophisticated technologies, such as the TempTron, a temperature and humidity control device. Given the high cost to build a TempTron, which is specifically designed to maintain the stability of temperature and humidity in a closed chicken coop or 'close' house, Danung decided to design his innovation for farmers who use traditional open-type coops to raise chicken."So, we designed a microcontroller, then a sensor that works using a modem to transmit data about temperature and humidity," he said. "Chickens eat less when the air temperature is high. This requires a quick decision. If too late, it can affect their immunity, raising the potential to get sick, while the increase in cells per body weight also decreases," he explained.The mechanism allows each farmer to get real-time data on the temperature and humidity in their chicken coops within an estimated two to three minutes via their mobile phone. Using the data, farmers can immediately take corrective action. For example, if the air temperature is hot, they can provide drinking water or nutritional intake to their chickens.In 2024, Danung's system received a funding grant for further development from Brawijaya University. His design also caught the attention of Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid when she visited the East Java campus some time ago.Currently, Danung's chicken coop system is being used at several farms in Malang Regency, such as in Karangploso and Singosari. The innovation for livestock has received a positive response from chicken farmers as well, especially those from the millennial generation.For marketing the system, Danung is collaborating with Luthfan Bayu Zulkarnaen, a colleague and co-founder of Pemiara.id, a supplier of male chickens. "Bayu also helps to report on temperature developments, and provides input on what corrective actions to take," Danung said.For more information please click: https://ub.ac.idBrawijaya University: https://prasetya.ub.ac.id Editor: Primayanti, Copyright (c) ANTARA 2025 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

JAKARTA, Mar 20, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As the international aviation industry players recovers, rebuilds, reassess and expands its route and service offerings, the newly transformed TransNusa has positioned itself to become the gateway to all things Indonesia.The airline, which has positioned itself strategically in its home country, can now connect international passengers to various precious and untouched vacation destinations in Indonesia from its bases in Bali and Jakarta.PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri (TransNusa), Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis said, “TransNusa prides itself in enhancing passengers’ lifestyles by offering comfortable services and easier access to destinations that are world renowned for its unique and stunning landscape and natural offerings,” he said, adding that Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands that boosts its own stunning and vibrant panoramas.On details of the Perth-Bali route scheduled flights, Datuk Bernard explained, “Initially, TransNusa will operate three scheduled flights a week, which will be on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. From April 12, we will increase the frequency to four times a week by adding another flight on Tuesday and eventually increase the frequency to a daily flight from June 1 onwards.”TransNusa’s scheduled flight, 8B 080 (DPS-PER), will depart Bali at 09.10am from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport and arrive the Perth Airport at 12.50pm. The flight, 8B 081 (PER-DPS), will depart Perth Airport at 13.35pm and arrive at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali on 17.20pm. TransNusa will be utilising its Airbus A320 that has a seat capacity of 174 for this international route that has a 3 hours and 40 minutes flight duration.TransNusa started selling the flight tickets that are priced from as low as AUD 169, IDR 1.799.000, CNY 782, USD 163, and MYR 514 on January 15. The TransNusa flight tickets can be purchased at transnusa.co.id or any secure online travel agent.“With this Bali-Perth route launch, we want to be your local guide to all things Indonesia. We would like to become a gateway for our international passengers’ travel plans in Indonesia,” said, Datuk Francis, adding that TransNusa landed its maiden flight in Perth Airport at 12.50pm today.Datuk Francis explained further, “The Bali - Perth international route may be a golden route as the highest number of tourists, almost every year, in Bali are from Perth. However, for TransNusa, our responsibilities towards our passengers are not only to provide a comfortable flight between Perth and Bali but also to enhance lifestyles by connecting our West Australian passengers to other hidden gems in Indonesia.”“We have introduced this new international route in order to provide our passengers with additional travel choices and access to various other untouched paradise and secret getaway vacation destinations in Indonesia such as world-renowned diving haven, Manado.”“Apart from Bali and Manado, TransNusa also offers connecting flights to Raja Ampat in Sorong, which is home to the world’s richest coral reef and rare marine species, and to Indonesia’s Island of Spices, Ambon, among other local and international destinations,” said Datuk Bernard, adding that TransNusa can also connect passengers to Guangzhou, China from Bali.BREATHTAKING SCENARIES AT RAJA AMPAT, SORONGFor its international flights, TransNusa not only provide premium services with competitive ticket prices, but the airline also has attractive product bundles called SEAT, SEAT-PLUS and FLEXI-PRO."Our passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of between 15kgs to 30 kgs, depending on the product purchased,” Datuk Bernard said, explaining that the baggage offering was over and above the 7kgs limit offered as a passenger’s hand carry.“For the highest package, FLEXI-PRO, we provide more complete services such as free baggage 30kgs, free to choose seats, free food, and drinks, priority at check-in and boarding. In addition, TransNusa also provides its FLEXI-PRO passengers with the ability to be able to change their flight schedule without restrictions and obtain refund when needed.”TransNusa, which aims to ensure its passengers travel with ease and comfort, has also configured their A320s with a 174-seat configuration, which allows for passengers to enjoy about 30 inches of legroom, comparable to the experience passengers would get in a full-service airline."We are committed to providing affordable and competitive ticket prices, while still providing premium services to our customers.” Stressed Datuk Bernard.TransNusa, A Short HistoryTransNusa, which had to close it business operation in September 2020 due to impact of the Covid- 19 pandemic on the aviation industry, started operations again after injection of new shareholders and a new management team led by aviation expert, Datuk Bernard, in October 2022.Within 6 months, the airline introduced its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur and celebrated its first-year anniversary for this route on April 14, 2024.“When we re-launched TransNusa in October 2022, we started from the bottom again. We had no aircraft or roadmap to follow. Everything was new because the pandemic had broken the aviation business operations boundaries. We re-created and customised our business operations and strategy model of being the first Premium Service Carrier based on the post-pandemic scenario,” Datuk Bernard explained.TransNusa launched its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in April, 2023, after which the airline successfully launched three more new international routes by the end of 2023.
