About 1.5 hours from Tokyo, awaits an extraordinary journey through mountains and rural landscapes

Japan, 1st Oct 2026 – The Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail, connecting six cities and towns in northern Ibaraki Prefecture, has now fully opened as an approximately 350-kilometer route, Ibaraki Prefectural Government Northern Region Development Bureau announces. 

With its full opening, the Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail is now the longest long trail in Japan designed as a loop route.

Stretching approximately 350 kilometers, the trail connects a diverse range of local attractions, including lush forests and satoyama landscapes, valleys, coastlines, and historic cultural heritage sites. What awaits here is more than simply hiking toward a destination.

Walk through the region’s natural landscapes, encounter its history, meet the people who call the area home, and experience the local food and culture unique to each place. On the Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail, a new way to travel in Ibaraki begins—one that allows visitors to experience the region’s appeal in a way that can only be discovered on foot.

And through this trail, Ibaraki offers opportunities to discover the many different sides of Japan.

A New Way to Travel in Japan: “Travel by Foot”

Hitachinokuni Trail

Unlike mountain climbing, where reaching a summit is the primary objective, a long trail is a route designed for journeys where walking itself is part of the experience, connecting hiking and mountain trails with paths through satoyama landscapes, agricultural areas, and local communities.

Hitachinokuni Trail

Along the way, travelers can encounter not only spectacular natural scenery but also the history, culture, everyday life, food, and other landscapes unique to each region.
From forests and valleys to the Japan countryside and coast, every section offers a different perspective on the places and communities along the route.

Japan has a long tradition of traveling on foot, from the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes to the Shikoku pilgrimage.
In recent years, as interest in health and well-being and in spending time in nature has grown, long trails have attracted increasing attention as a new style of travel.

Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail

A 350-Kilometer Journey Connecting Satoyama and Communities

Hitachinokuni Trail

The Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail is a long-distance trail that connects the diverse natural landscapes, food, historical and cultural heritage, and other regional attractions scattered throughout northern Ibaraki Prefecture via hiking trails and other paths. Its concept is “an extraordinary journey of repeatedly walking through mountains and rural landscapes while experiencing both everyday life and the extraordinary.”

One of its greatest features is the opportunity to walk through rich natural surroundings while experiencing Japan’s satoyama landscapes, local culture, and the lives of the people who live there. The trail passes not only through deep forests and valleys, but also through communities, fields, and historic sites, and areas along the coast, where visitors can experience the distinctive scenery of a coastal trail alongside landscapes shaped by generations of human life.

Its convenient accessibility from the Tokyo metropolitan area is another major attraction. There is no need to walk the entire trail in a single trip. Depending on their fitness level, interests, and itinerary, visitors can enjoy individual travel as section hikes or day hikes.

Whether embarking on a long journey or a short one, travelers can enjoy the trail at their own pace. That is the appeal of the Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail.

Discovering a New Kind of Slow Travel in Ibaraki

Hitachinokuni Trail

The appeal of Ibaraki is not limited to visiting a large number of tourist attractions in a short amount of time. Walk. Talk with local people. Make something. Taste the region’s cuisine. Spend time in nature.

Through each of these experiences, travelers can slowly come to understand the culture and everyday life of a place.

The full opening of the Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail represents the potential for this new kind of slow travel in Ibaraki—one centered on taking the time to experience a destination.

Just one to two hours from Tokyo, Ibaraki’s proximity and diversity are among its greatest attractions.

Here, travelers can encounter an incredibly diverse Japan, from the forefront of space exploration to mythology and prayer, traditional crafts, fermentation culture, and satoyama landscapes where local communities continue to live in harmony with nature.

Beyond traveling along the long trail itself, visitors can discover different sides of Japan according to their own individual curiosity.

With the full opening of the Hitachi-no-kuni Long Trail as a starting point, Ibaraki is opening up its diverse attractions as a new destination capable of responding to the curiosity of every traveler.

2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, produced with nsKnox, shows verification remains the weak link: only 18% of organizations continuously revalidate supplier bank details, and 41% still receive sensitive payment data by email

nsKnox, a leader in B2B payment security, today released the findings of the 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, “Why Verification Remains the Weak Link,” produced in partnership with Treasury Dragons, the global network for buyers, specifiers and users of corporate treasury technology. The findings were unveiled this morning in a live Treasury Dragons Masterclass webinar.

Now in its fourth year, the survey of 104 corporate treasury professionals found that 76% of organizations experienced at least one payment fraud incident in the past 12 months, up from 73% last year, and 44% were hit more than once. Two-thirds (67%) expect the risk to rise further over the next year.

Artificial intelligence is making familiar attacks faster, cheaper and far more convincing. More than half of respondents (53%) have faced a confirmed or suspected deepfake-related fraud attempt, most often in multi-channel attacks that pair a legitimate-looking email thread with a voice call, messaging exchange or video interaction. Yet only 44% have formal policies covering AI-related fraud.

Other key findings include:

1. Confidence is outpacing controls. 79% rate their confidence in supplier banking information as high or very high, yet only 18% continuously revalidate supplier bank details.
2. Email is still a front door for fraud. 41% receive sensitive supplier or payment data by email, and only 39% always use secure or encrypted channels.
3. Awareness is high, but ownership is not. 75% rate their fraud awareness as high or very high, but only 39% say ownership of payment fraud is clearly defined.
4. Technology is the biggest gap. 48% do not use a dedicated payment fraud prevention system, and 71% are prioritizing investment in payment validation.

“This year’s Index confirms what we hear from finance leaders every day: the problem is no longer awareness – it’s verification,” said Nithai Barzam, CEO of nsKnox. “When AI lets a fraudster impersonate a supplier convincingly across email, phone and video, any control that relies on these channels becomes part of the attack. Organizations need to validate bank accounts independently, continuously and globally, using authoritative data from the banking system, before a payment is ever released.”

“In four years of running this survey, we have watched awareness climb steadily, but the controls underneath it haven’t kept pace,” said Mike Hewitt, CEO of Adaugeo Media and Founder of Treasury Dragons. “The message for treasurers is clear: confidence should be the outcome of continuous verification, not a substitute for it.”

The full 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index report is available for download here. A recording of the masterclass, “How Treasury Can Stop Corporate Payment Fraud,” is available on demand at this link.

Recent Storm Activity In North Texas

Irving, Texas, Oct 01, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Severe storm activity over parts of North Texas on September 20 brought heavy rains, damaging winds, and hail concerns to a few communities.  A post-storm inspection is critical for homeowners, particularly when severe weather conditions put stress on roofing materials.

Even roofs that appear to be fine can be damaged due to storms. If damage is suspected, homeowners across the DFW area should watch for any visible warning signs and schedule a professional inspection.

The Reason You May Not See Storm Damage

Storm damage is not always apparent. Hail only leaves small impact marks, while strong winds can break, unfasten, or lift shingles without causing a leak immediately. Over time, loss of these granules can also damage shingles.

Other concerns include deteriorated flashing, roof penetrations, vents, and areas around skylights. If there are small openings in the roofing system, the water will seep under the roof and lead to moisture damage within the house.

Signs Irving and DFW Homeowners Should Pay Attention To

 Following severe weather, homeowners can safely inspect areas they can see from the ground and access for interior signs of damage:

• Missing or lifted shingles

• Hail marks or impact damage

• Granules accumulating around gutters and downspouts

• Damaged or displaced flashing

• Loose roofing components

• Ceiling or attic water stains

• New leaks or signs of moisture

• Damaged vents or skylights

Homeowners who notice these warning signs should hire a DFW roofing company for a detailed inspection

Why a Professional Roof Inspection is Crucial

It will point out obvious storm damage, but also other less-obvious hail hits and potential water entry points, as well as worn-out roof components. A qualified Irving roofer comes with advanced equipment to assess whether a problem needs immediate repair.

Climbing on your roof after the storm is usually unsuitable for homeowners. The slippery nature of wet & damaged roofing surfaces can create extreme safety hazards. An experienced professional comes equipped with the appropriate tools and training to inspect the roof in a safer manner.

How to Identify Storm Damage

Homeowners who suspect their property may have suffered storm damage can do the following:

• Take photos of any visible damage from a safe distance.

• Inspect the roof and inside the attic for moisture or water stains.

• Steer clear of any makeshift repairs, which can lead to extra problems later.

• Schedule a professional roof inspection.

• Some insurance policies only review auto damage after an accident, for example.

• Retain photographs, inspection records, and documentation from your free consultation for future reference.

Expert Roofing Advice From 911 Exteriors Roofing and Construction

“Homeowners should not think that their roof is fine just because they cannot see any leaks,” a representative from 911 Exteriors Roofing and Construction said. “Storm damage can sometimes be subtle, and issues around shingles, flashing, vents, or other roofing components may not immediately be evident. A simple initial inspection can detect problems before they become more severe.

With over three decades of experience, 911 Exteriors Roofing and Construction has been providing effective roofing services to Irving residents and other neighborhoods.

Protecting Your Roof After Extreme Weather

Early inspection protects the home and provides more insight into required repairs.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 1st, 2026, FinanceWire

Whether checking a balance, reviewing a position or completing a task, traders expect quick answers without having to switch between screens or channels. Leverate has launched ASK, a native AI assistant built into its trading platform, answering from live account data and carrying out the next step in the same place.

ASK completes Leverate’s native AI layer for traders. The platform’s existing AI assistant brings real-time market insights and broker intelligence into the trading experience. ASK adds the operational side. Working from the trader’s own account, it explains what is happening and carries out what comes next, all inside the chat.

From Question to Action

ASK is part of Leverate’s trading platform itself, available from any screen and opening into a conversation. Traders can ask about balances, positions, margin, verification status, deposit history and bonus status, and each answer is drawn from their own account rather than from general guidance.

Where an answer alone does not finish the task, ASK continues. It can open a specific area of the platform and highlight the relevant section, add an indicator to a chart, and where the broker has enabled it, place, modify or close a trade inside the conversation. Any action affecting a trader’s funds or open positions requires explicit confirmation before it is executed. ASK does not trade autonomously and is not designed to provide personalised investment advice.

Built for Action, Configured by the Broker

Because ASK runs inside the platform, a trader does not switch channels or put the question to support and wait. The same conversation that explains a declined withdrawal can open the relevant page, manage a position or add an indicator to a chart.

Brokers decide how ASK behaves for each brand. They configure its name, choose which traders can access it, enable or restrict trade execution and deposit nudges, set escalation paths and apply usage caps. Every action ASK can take sits inside the permissions the broker has set.

For the broker, that shorter path keeps more of the trader’s activity inside their own environment. Routine account questions are resolved without handing the trader to a separate support channel, and each answer can lead directly into the next action on the platform.

“We believe the trading experience should be simple, connected and all in one place. Traders shouldn’t have to move between different tools to get an answer or complete a task. With ASK, AI becomes part of that experience, helping traders go from question to action with less friction and greater ease.” Ran Strauss, CEO & Co-Founder, Leverate  

Availability

ASK is available now for brokers using Leverate’s trading platform and can be enabled per brand through the CRM. Availability of individual capabilities may depend on broker configuration and jurisdictional requirements.

For more information, users can visit leverate.com.

Leverate is a leading force in fintech innovation, dedicated to empowering financial institutions, brokers and prop firms with cutting-edge technology that drives growth, efficiency and success. With 19+ years of experience and broker clients worldwide, Leverate provides a complete ecosystem, from trading platforms and CRM to liquidity and prediction markets, helping firms launch, operate and scale with confidence.

The Sober Christmas Survival Guide by Ben T. gives readers in recovery real strategies for navigating holiday triggers, family gatherings, and the pressure to drink

CLEVELAND—Oct. 1, 2026—Author Ben T. has released The Sober Christmas Survival Guide: Staying Sober During the Holidays and Committed to Recovery Through Holiday Gatherings and Family Events. This practical guidebook is written for anyone who wants to protect their sobriety through the most challenging season of the year.

The holidays are often framed as a time of joy and connection, but for people in addiction recovery, they can also bring pressure, temptation, loneliness, stress, and difficult memories. Alcohol-filled parties, uncomfortable family gatherings, friends pushing “just one drink,” and the disruption of routines that normally keep someone grounded can all put sobriety at risk. The Sober Christmas Survival Guide helps readers face the season with a plan instead of white-knuckling their way through it.

The book walks readers through strategies for recognizing and managing holiday triggers, saying no without guilt or lengthy explanations, and building an exit plan for difficult situations. It also offers ideas for replacing old drinking traditions with healthier, more meaningful alternatives, along with relapse prevention strategies specific to the holiday season. Additional chapters address strengthening a support system before, during, and after holiday events, and coping with stress, loneliness, family conflict, and the fear of missing out.

“You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through Christmas,” said Ben T, a 61-year-old man who has been sober through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for over 25 years. “With the right plan and this holiday sobriety guide, you can enjoy the holidays, protect your recovery, and enter the new year proud of the promises you kept to yourself.”

The Sober Christmas Survival Guide is available now in paperback, audiobook, and ebook formats. It has earned a 4.7 out of 5-star rating from early readers.
