United States, 24th Jun 2026, – From crystal-clear drinkware and heavyweight plastic plates to compostable plant-fiber and customizable options, Jolly Chef supports professional buyers with tableware designed for presentation, durability, food safety, and reliable supply.

Jolly Chef Brings Premium Disposable Tableware to Restaurants, Banquets, and Hospitality Events

SEATTLE, WA – Jolly Chef is a premium disposable tableware supplier specifically engineered for high-end restaurants, hotels, caterers, and hospitality event operators who refuse to compromise on the guest experience. As a dedicated partner to the commercial foodservice industry, Jolly Chef bridges the gap between operational efficiency and upscale presentation, delivering high-quality, food-safe single-use solutions that complement professional food and beverage service. The company’s comprehensive range includes plates, cups, cutlery, bowls, napkins, and specialized food packaging in coordinated styles and commercial quantities.

Why Premium Hospitality Uses Disposable Tableware

Modern foodservice extends far beyond the traditional dining room. Premium takeout, curated catering, and upscale delivery require packaging that maintains a restaurant’s brand standards in transit. Meanwhile, large-scale banquets, weddings, and corporate functions demand flawless visual consistency that can be deployed rapidly across hundreds of place settings without the burden of dishwashing labor or potential breakage.

While conventional single-use options often feel flimsy or look inexpensive, Jolly Chef provides a structurally sound, visually refined alternative. The brand’s focus is not to replace permanent dinnerware entirely, but to offer a sophisticated operational tool for hospitality teams when disposable service is logistically necessary.

Premium Quality Guests Can See and Feel

To streamline the procurement process, Jolly Chef organizes its premium portfolio around four critical buyer requirements:

Visual Presentation: Designed to mimic fine chinaware, the collection features minimalist white bases accented by elegant gold, silver, or black-and-gold rims. For beverage programs, PET cups deliver glass-like clarity that elevates cocktails, iced coffees, and desserts, while durable PP cups offer reliable performance for high-volume service.

Structural Strength: Built for heavy-duty commercial use, selected plates and cutlery feature thickened, reinforced construction. This added rigidity ensures plates resist bending, cracking, and knife cuts—safely supporting heavy entrees, pasta, and buffet service.

Material Safety & Sustainability: All products are crafted from food-grade, BPA-free materials compliant with FDA food-contact standards. To meet corporate sustainability mandates, Jolly Chef offers FSC-certified paper options and BPI-certified compostable tableware made from renewable sugarcane bagasse.

Purchasing Streamlining: By providing matched, fully coordinated styles across multiple sizes and product categories, Jolly Chef allows operators to maintain a cohesive aesthetic across their entire inventory.

Why Professional Buyers Choose Jolly Chef

Jolly Chef aligns its global infrastructure directly with the bottom-line and operational needs of commercial buyers:

One-Stop Sourcing: Managing everything from plates and napkins to custom packaging under one portfolio eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple vendors.

Guaranteed Supply Chain Scalability: With a manufacturing network spanning Thailand, China, India, and Vietnam—and an annual capacity exceeding 10 billion units—Jolly Chef ensures long-term stock availability for high-volume enterprise buyers.

Reduced Lead Times: Operating five strategic U.S. warehouses, the company guarantees a dependable three-to-five-day nationwide delivery window, allowing businesses to reduce on-site storage costs.

Optimized Margins: Specialized wholesale pricing tiers and bulk case packaging help operators protect their margins on recurring purchases.

Custom Brand Integration: For proprietary branding initiatives, Jolly Chef provides logo printing, bespoke product kitting, and comprehensive OEM/ODM support to reinforce client brand identity.

“For premium hospitality venues, disposable tableware should never feel like a downgrade,” said a Jolly Chef spokesperson. “Our mission is to supply professionals with pieces that feel sturdy, look beautiful, and allow them to serve at scale with absolute confidence.”

Supporting Professional Foodservice at Scale

Established in 2003, Jolly Chef combines manufacturing expertise, logistical infrastructure, and extensive customization capabilities to support the B2B hospitality market. The company currently partners with over 100 nationwide distributors and delivers more than one billion units annually to commercial clients.

United States, 24th Jun 2026, – Lahome is a washable rug brand designed for everyday homes—where comfort, easy care, and modern aesthetics come together in spaces shaped by family life, pets, and daily movement. These are rugs made for real use, not just visual display. Some homes feel carefully arranged. Others feel naturally lived in.

The Homes That Inspire Us

In everyday homes, life rarely follows a perfect visual order. Light shifts through open living rooms in the morning, furniture slowly becomes part of daily routines, and floors turn into shared spaces for everything that happens throughout the day.

A child might move freely between rooms without thinking about design boundaries. A pet returns to the same quiet corner again and again. A book stays open on the sofa because it was paused, not placed. These are not staged moments—they are repeated patterns of everyday living.

These are the homes that inspire Lahome — Not from decoration, but from behavior. From how people actually move, rest, gather, and live inside their homes over time. 

The Beauty of a Home That Feels Lived In: Inside Lahome

Designed for Everyday Living

Lahome rugs are created for real household conditions, especially in homes where practicality matters as much as style. They are made for spaces that are actively used every day, not preserved for appearance.

People walk on them constantly. Children sit and play directly on the floor. Pets treat them as part of their territory. Spills, dirt, and daily wear are expected, not exceptions.

For this reason, Lahome focuses on materials and construction that support real use—machine-washable designs for easy cleaning, soft textures for everyday comfort, non-slip backing for stability, and low-maintenance care for long-term living. The goal is simple: rugs that stay part of life, not apart from it.

Inspired by Global Design Perspectives

Lahome’s design language began with early inspiration from Parisian interiors—spaces defined by quiet balance, natural light, and layered texture. Over time, it has been shaped by designers from different regions, each bringing their own perspective on how homes are experienced and lived in, allowing the brand to move toward a more open and globally informed design direction rooted in everyday life.

Today, this evolution is reflected in a range of collections that move between bold floral expressions and softer, nature-inspired minimal forms. While visually different, they are unified by the same intention: creating rugs that feel warm, lived-in, and naturally integrated into real homes, where design is not separate from daily living, but part of it. The Beauty of a Home That Feels Lived In: Inside Lahome

Stories Behind Lahome Collections

Every Lahome collection begins with a feeling rather than a category. It might come from a memory, a texture, or a visual atmosphere found in everyday surroundings. For example,

  • The Claude Collection leans into maximalist floral interiors—dense botanical compositions, layered color fields, and expressive patterns that hold attention without overwhelming the room.
  • The Vionnet Collection moves in the opposite direction—soft natural forms, insect-like micro details, quiet organic structures that reveal themselves slowly in light.

Across all collections, the intention remains consistent: rugs are not standalone objects placed into a room—they become part of how the room is experienced over time.

Inside Lahome

Lahome continues to work at the intersection of interior design and everyday functionality. The focus is not on defining what a home should look like, but on supporting how it feels to live in one.

The brand exists within real homes—spaces that are active, evolving, and imperfect in the most natural way.

Just explore Lahome core product:

Closing Thought

The beauty of a home is not found in perfection, but in the way it is lived in—quietly, repeatedly, and without effort. It is in the routines that never feel planned, the objects that stay in place because they are used every day, and the small moments that make a space feel like it belongs to someone. This is the kind of everyday living Lahome is designed for.

United States, 24th Jun 2026, – A shift is underway in the global film industry as creators across the globe embrace Kling AI to produce cinematic-level visuals and push the boundaries of storytelling.

At the Marche Du Film in Cannes, three films leveraging Kling AI are showcased at a panel themed “From Creative Possibility to Production Reality: Kling AI in Cinematic Workflows“, including Raphael, South Korea’s first full-length feature generated entirely by AI, House of David, biblical epics from the Wonder Project and a groundbreaking Chinese animation epic Born of the Tide.

Native 4K Generation for Cinematic-Level Output

“For House of David, we did it for a third of what the studios told us we needed,” said Jon Erwin, the writer and producer of House of David, founder and Chief Creative Officer of Wonder Project.

For House of David, Kling AI has served as its core foundation model and benchmark tool. Across both season one and two, Kling AI has generated the vast majority of its production shots, leading the share of its AI workflows for the show. While Season One of House of David incorporated 72 shots invovling the use of AI, its second season used more than four times as many AI shots compared to the first season.

Building on that success, the team recently launched the biblical epic “The Old Stories: Moses” featuring Oscar Award winning Ben Kingsley in the title role and utilizes Kling AI’s 4K capabilities at the forefront of its creative process. The series pioneers a hybrid approach of filmmaking that combines live-action with AI-enhanced workflows in virtual production.

“Native 4K was something that we’ve been asking for for a long time, native to the foundation model, and Kling is the first to deliver that, and then the results are staggering, they’re beautiful,” said Jon.

“I am very excited about the democratization of scope and scale to filmmakers everywhere. I think our industry will be better for it, and I think that there will be an explosion of creativity and originality, as these tools are induced and adopted,” he added.

Emotional Expressiveness for Feature Film

Raphael, South Korea’s first full-length feature created entirely using generative AI, is a large-scale production being developed by Mateo AI Studio. Currently in production with the goal of a theatrical release in 2026, this project is leveraging Kling AI’s powerful video model throughout the production process to maximize distinctive visual effects and deliver a differentiated cinematic experience.

“Raphael started using Kling 1.0 model from 2024 and from then on, we realized that Kling is exceptional in its emotional expression. Also because films like Raphael really aim for theatrical screening, features of Kling AI, such as the 4K features, are absolutely necessary,” said Eekjun Yang, Co-Founder and Director of Mateo AI Studio, and Director at MBC C&I AI Content Lab.

With Kling AI, one of the impressive features was the fact that directors can describe the situation for them as a prompt, and then the model would make an output with the emotional expression that will be suitable, he added.

A major misconception in the filmmaking industry is that filmmakers use generative AI solely to slash budgets and speed up production. In reality, for a new wave of directors, AI is not a cost-cutting shortcut—it is the only gateway to making their films a reality.

“A director like myself, who was not famous yet, or has never had experience making feature films, it was very difficult for me to obtain any investment in the first place. Therefore, AI tool used was in fact not a choice but a necessity for myself,” he noted.

Realism and Visual Quality for Theatrical Screens

Born of the Tide, the first AI-generated cinematic epic exploring China’s Tanka community, often referred to as “sea nomads” for their long-standing floating way of life, leverages Kling AI’s 4K capabilities to present its sweeping, high-stakes spectacles, such as massive dragon boat races, explosive fish market bombings, and sprawling mountain battles.

“Kling AI faithfully preserves the director’s intended color tones without losing stylistic consistency during the video generation process. The platform also delivers rare realism in rendering waves, torrential rain, and the intricate, glistening reflections of firelight across wet wooden ship planks—textures that stand out as unmatched among AI models,” said Wei Li, director of Born of the Tide and Executive Director for Big Fish & Begonia. His film Jiang Ziya: Legend of Deification, an Annecy 2021 official selection, has hit over 228 million dollars in box office, one of China’s biggest animated box office smashes in 2020.

Previously, AI filmmakers were limited by the models’ capabilities in generating storyboards- wide shots would blur and close-ups would lose facial details. Kling AI’s Native 4K shatters these creative limitations, giving directors the confidence to shoot sweeping, high-stakes spectacles, with the resolution required for massive theatrical screens, he added.

Also at the panel, Kling AI announced that it has entered into an exclusive worldwide partnership with UK production company Evolutionary Films on the upcoming animated feature MINIBOTS.

Under the deal, Kling becomes the exclusive global “Technological Brand Partner” on the feature, providing production support, platform access and a dedicated Creative Partnership Programme supporting MINIBOTS’ internationally recognised AI artist team.

The production has adopted a strict “performance-first” AI charter under which all performances remain entirely human-created and actor-owned and the project is already attracting significant interest from A-list voice talent.

Kling AI is one of the world’s leading AI creative platforms, focused on next-generation tools for visual storytelling, cinematic workflows and creative production innovation. Since its launch, It has empowered over 60 million creators worldwide.

Niihara International announced that its Founder and CEO, Dr. Yutaka Niihara, has been awarded the Rosa Parks Spirit Award by the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development. The honor recognizes his long-standing commitment to improving care and treatment options for patients with sickle cell disease, particularly those affected by health disparities. The Company continues to advance therapies, including L-glutamine treatment, aimed at reducing complications and addressing unmet medical needs in rare diseases.

Irvine, California – June 23, 2026 – Niihara International, Inc. (“Niihara International” or the “Company”), a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on therapies for rare and orphan diseases, today announced that its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Yutaka Niihara, M.D., has been awarded the Rosa Parks Spirit Award by the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, the only organization founded by civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, co‑founded by Rosa Parks and Elaine Eason Steele in 1987, is dedicated to educating and motivating youth and adults for self and community betterment and continues Mrs. Parks’ legacy as a global symbol of courage and human rights. The Rosa Parks Spirit Award is presented on a selective basis to individuals and partners whose work reflects Mrs. Parks’ belief that “we are here on Planet Earth to live, grow up, and do what we can to make the world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom,” including freedom from injustice and inequity.

In presenting the Rosa Parks Spirit Award to Dr. Niihara, a representative of the Institute cited his more than decade‑long commitment to improving the lives of patients with sickle cell disease, particularly those facing significant health disparities and barriers to care. The presentation acknowledged Dr. Niihara’s role in bringing broader attention to the burden of pain experienced by sickle cell patients and his sustained efforts to develop and advance treatment options for this historically underserved population.

“This recognition from the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development is deeply humbling,” said Dr. Yutaka Niihara. “Rosa Parks devoted her life to the cause of human dignity and equal opportunity, and I am honored that our work on behalf of sickle cell patients has been associated with her legacy. We remain committed to developing therapies that can help reduce suffering and address the persistent inequities faced by patients and families around the world.”

Niihara International is focused on the development, commercialization, and distribution of innovative therapies for rare and orphan diseases, including its initial product candidate, a generic prescription‑grade L‑glutamine oral powder designed to reduce acute complications associated with sickle cell disease in patients ages five years and older. L‑glutamine therapy has been recognized as an important option within a limited range of treatments available to sickle cell patients and reflects the Company’s mission to target serious unmet medical needs.

Niihara International’s efforts build on a growing body of clinical and real‑world evidence demonstrating that pharmaceutical‑grade L‑glutamine can reduce the frequency of painful vaso‑occlusive crises in sickle cell disease and offer meaningful benefits in a population that has historically had few therapeutic choices. The Company intends to continue advancing its product and pipeline strategy while seeking collaborations that align with its commitment to patient‑centered innovation and health equity.

About the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development
The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development was co‑founded in 1987 by Rosa Parks and Elaine Eason Steele to educate and motivate youth and adults, particularly African American communities, for self and community betterment. Based in Detroit, Michigan, the Institute sponsors programs that promote civil rights education, leadership development, and civic engagement, continuing the legacy of Rosa Parks, widely known as the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.”

About Niihara International, Inc.
Niihara International, Inc., incorporated in California in 2023, is a development‑stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, commercialization and distribution of innovative therapies for rare and orphan diseases.

International credit rating agency Fitch Ratings has affirmed Kazakhstan’s sovereign credit rating at BBB with a Stable Outlook, according to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of National Economy.

According to Fitch, the rating is supported by Kazakhstan’s strong external position, substantial net foreign assets, and low level of government debt. The agency noted that higher oil prices in 2026 are expected to further strengthen the country’s external position.

Foreign currency assets held by Kazakhstan’s National Fund reached US$66.4 billion at the end of May 2026. Fitch stated that Kazakhstan’s net foreign asset position is expected to remain among the strongest of countries with comparable credit ratings.

The agency also reported that Kazakhstan’s gross international reserves reached US$67.6 billion in May 2026. According to Fitch, elevated gold prices have contributed significantly to the growth of the country’s reserves.

Fitch forecasts that Kazakhstan’s government debt will remain at around 23% of GDP in both 2026 and 2027.

The agency further noted that Kazakhstan’s economy expanded by 6.5% in 2025, with growth supported across multiple sectors, including a significant increase in transport activity. Fitch expects non-oil sectors, particularly transportation, manufacturing, and services, to continue supporting economic activity over the medium term.

The International Skating Union (ISU) has officially selected Astana as the host city for the 2027 Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, according to Kazakhstan’s National Olympic Committee. The competition is scheduled to take place from 9 to 14 February 2027.

The event will bring together figure skaters from Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.

According to the ISU, the decision follows increased interest in figure skating in Kazakhstan after Mikhail Shaidorov won the gold medal in the men’s singles event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.

The ISU noted that Shaidorov’s victory contributed to growing public interest in the sport in Kazakhstan.

The 2027 Four Continents Championships will be the largest figure skating competition hosted by Kazakhstan, according to the ISU.

Kazakhstan has previously hosted major winter sports events, including the 2011 Asian Winter Games and the 2017 Winter Universiade, both of which featured figure skating competitions.

Kazakhstan continues to strengthen its position on the regional tourism map. In recent years, the sector has demonstrated steady growth, with tourism activity increasing across nearly all key indicators. Following strong growth in 2025, the positive trend has continued into 2026.

According to the latest data, nearly 2 million guests were accommodated at tourism establishments across Kazakhstan during the first quarter of 2026. The value of services provided exceeded 69 billion tenge, representing a 14% increase compared to the same period last year. The volume index of tourism services reached 104.5%, indicating not only higher prices but also genuine growth in tourism activity.

Domestic tourism has shown particularly strong momentum. During the first quarter of 2026, the number of Kazakh citizens using accommodation services within the country increased by 3.6%. This reflects growing interest among residents in travelling within Kazakhstan and points to ongoing improvements in tourism infrastructure, a broader range of services, and the increasing attractiveness of domestic destinations. As a result, domestic tourism is becoming one of the key drivers of the sector, stimulating regional economic activity, creating jobs, and supporting the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.

At the regional level, Almaty remained the leading destination, welcoming 472,900 visitors during January–March 2026. It was followed by Astana with 352,200 visitors and the Akmola Region with 161,100 visitors. Approximately 40% of all visitors were concentrated in resort areas, amounting to more than 800,000 people, highlighting the growing importance of recreational tourism and strong demand for domestic holiday destinations.

The positive trends are consistent with the priorities outlined by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who has repeatedly emphasised the importance of tourism development, including in his 2025 State of the Nation Address, where he highlighted the Almaty tourism cluster and the strategic significance of the sector.

Tourism infrastructure continues to expand. Kazakhstan now has more than 4,500 accommodation facilities, employing around 31,000 people. Three years ago, the country had approximately 3,800 accommodation facilities and 28,000 employees in the sector. This represents growth of 17% in accommodation capacity and 12% in employment, underscoring the sector’s increasing contribution to the national economy.

Tourism’s contribution to Kazakhstan’s economy continues to grow. In 2025, the sector generated 5 trillion tenge and accounted for 3.1% of GDP. More than 600,000 people are now employed in tourism-related activities, representing around 7% of total national employment. According to Tourism and Sports Minister Yerbol Myrzabossynov, foreign visitors spent US$2.9 billion in Kazakhstan in 2025, while tax revenues generated by tourism increased by 18% to 630 billion tenge, raising the sector’s share of total tax revenues to 2%.

These results reflect sustained efforts by both the government and private sector to develop tourism infrastructure, improve transport connectivity, enhance service quality, and promote Kazakhstan internationally. Investment in the tourism sector reached 1.3 trillion tenge in 2025, up 33% year-on-year. At the same time, government spending on culture, sport, tourism, and information policy reached a record 1.2 trillion tenge.

Legislative reforms have also been introduced. Amendments adopted in March 2026 include a “green corridor” mechanism for tourist buses to reduce border crossing times for organised groups, the formal recognition of visitor centres, and the introduction of unified standards for guides, tour leaders, and tourism instructors. Additional measures support children’s and eco-tourism, including free access to national parks for visitors under the age of 18.

The development of the tourism sector is being guided by Kazakhstan’s Tourism Industry Development Concept for 2023–2029. A key objective remains attracting more international visitors through visa liberalisation, expanded international air connectivity, and stronger promotion of Kazakhstan abroad. Citizens of 84 countries can currently enter Kazakhstan visa-free, while an electronic visa system is available to citizens of 102 countries. Kazakhstan is connected to 30 countries through 626 weekly flights operating across 135 international routes.

Infrastructure development also continues at pace. In 2025 alone, 96 tourism infrastructure projects worth 167.4 billion tenge were implemented, while government support measures for the sector totalled approximately 7 billion tenge. These figures demonstrate that tourism has become one of the priority sectors of Kazakhstan’s economic policy.

The sector’s progress is increasingly reflected in international rankings. One of the most important benchmarks is the Travel & Tourism Development Index published by the World Economic Forum, which assesses tourism infrastructure, investment attractiveness, and readiness for sustainable tourism development. Kazakhstan ranked 80th in 2019 with a score of 3.7, improved to 66th in 2021, and reached 52nd place in 2024 with a score of 4.1. Overall, Kazakhstan climbed 28 places in just five years, representing one of the most significant improvements in the region.

The country has also improved its standing in the tourism and culture category of rankings published by U.S. News & World Report. Kazakhstan ranked 73rd in 2025, improving by 11 places over three years. Notably, Kazakhstan has narrowed the gap with regional competitors and now ranks seven places ahead of Uzbekistan, while also outperforming countries such as Qatar, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Vietnam.

Overall, international rankings confirm that Kazakhstan’s tourism sector is not only expanding quantitatively but also strengthening its competitiveness globally. Improvements in international indices reflect broader progress in infrastructure, service quality, investment attractiveness, and tourism promotion, reinforcing Kazakhstan’s emergence as one of the most promising tourism destinations in Central Asia.

Kazakhstan has improved its position in the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2026, ranking 44th out of 163 countries, up five places from last year, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).

Published by the IEP, the index assesses countries based on 23 indicators, including levels of crime, internal conflict, public safety, and militarisation. Kazakhstan’s score improved to 1.771, placing it among the world’s 50 most peaceful countries.

In Central Asia, Uzbekistan ranked highest at 37th place with a score of 1.726. It was followed by Kazakhstan (44th), Tajikistan (47th), the Kyrgyz Republic (61st), and Turkmenistan (66th).

Globally, Iceland, New Zealand, and Switzerland ranked as the most peaceful countries, while Ukraine and Russia were placed near the bottom of the index at 160th and 163rd respectively.

As technology continues to evolve, Coral aims to become a platform where innovation meets trust.

Digitally Powered. Physically Secured.

These four words represent the foundation of the Coral ecosystem.

In today’s digital economy, security is not optional—it is essential.

Every blockchain transaction, wallet interaction, and smart contract operation should be protected by robust technology and transparent verification mechanisms.

Coral Blockchain is committed to creating an environment where users can participate confidently, knowing that transparency and security remain core priorities.

Our ecosystem is being built with long-term sustainability in mind, ensuring that growth never comes at the expense of trust.

Building for the Future

The blockchain industry is entering a new era.

Decentralized finance, digital assets, tokenization, and Web3 technologies are transforming the way people interact with money, data, and ownership.

Coral Blockchain is preparing for this future by developing an ecosystem capable of supporting emerging technologies and expanding opportunities for adoption.

As blockchain moves from experimentation to mainstream use, projects must provide genuine value and meaningful utility.

That is exactly what Coral intends to deliver.

Community at the Core

Behind every successful blockchain project is a strong community.

Coral Blockchain believes that innovation thrives when people come together to build, contribute, and grow.

Developers, investors, entrepreneurs, and blockchain enthusiasts will all play an important role in shaping the future of the Coral ecosystem.
