Explora Books features My Friend Patches: Lost and Found by David G. Toussaint at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, this June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Centered on a runaway horse, a grieving child, and an unexpected gesture of grace, the children’s book explores themes of faith, compassion, and spiritual growth.

Written for children and the adults who read alongside them, My Friend Patches narrates the tale of Gracie, a girl whose beloved horse, Patches, runs away during a thunderstorm after she forgets to latch the barn door. Days turn into weeks and months until, miles from home, Gracie spots a familiar-looking horse pulling a plow for a struggling farmer. What follows is not a simple reunion but a moving lesson in stewardship, prayer, and the happiness found in giving.

“They reminded her that Patches was not really hers; she was God’s,” Toussaint writes.

As Gracie learns the meaning of being a steward rather than an owner, young readers are introduced to foundational biblical concepts, including faithfulness, keeping promises, seeking counsel, and the joy of giving and caring for others.

The book also includes a dedicated discussion section, making it a valuable resource for parents, Sunday school teachers, and homeschool families. Topics include ownership, stewardship, keeping promises, seeking counsel, and giving to others.

The narrative arc is both realistic and redemptive. Gracie must confront the reality that she neglected Patches, stopped helping her parents pay for the horse’s grain, and now realizes that the poor farmer who has named the horse Isabella needs Patches to help grow food for his family.

After praying for guidance, Gracie experiences a sense of peace that her father describes as God speaking to her heart. She makes the hard decision to leave Patches with the farmer—an act of sacrificial generosity that leads her to a deeper understanding of love, faith, and joy.

David G. Toussaint is a former high school chemistry teacher. After over three decades of teaching and supporting individuals navigate financial challenges, he turned to writing for teen and adult audiences. Toussaint expands his work for younger readers through a gentle, faith-based story that explores loss, personal responsibility, generosity, and compassion.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair can view this scripture-based children’s book at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.

My Friend Patches: Lost and Found is available through Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

Explora Books will feature The Golden Codex by Canadian author William Sandberg at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. The debut speculative novel combines mythological themes, multidimensional world-building, and a coming-of-age journey that spans multiple layers of reality, offering international readers and publishing professionals a distinctive addition to the fantasy genre.

The Golden Codex is a metaphysical fantasy set largely in contemporary South Vancouver, British Columbia, but one that reaches across multiple layered “orbs” of reality—a cosmology the novel builds from the ground up, with its own language (Dirshani), its own secret societies, and its own system of esoteric practice known as Brahan. At its center is Piers Ralston, a fourteen-year-old boy who takes a job at an antiques store run by his father’s old mentor, Tom Aimesworth, without knowing that the job is a cover for his initiation into the arts that will determine whether he survives what is coming for him.

What is coming is no metaphor. Piers has been entered into the “kravl inventory” of the Kopendres Syndicate—the slave registers of a covert organization that traffic in people between worlds. His father escaped the same fate years earlier; now the syndicate has claimed the son as payment. The novel’s opening exchange between Jim Ralston and Tom in the shuttered back room of Aimesworth and Dixon Antiques lays out this premise with impressive economy: the reader is dropped into a fully formed world of secret handshakes, coded language, and hidden networks of surveillance and control, where the threat facing Piers is as legally binding as it is supernatural. Sandberg earns his world-building—it is never decorative; it is always load-bearing.

The novel’s engine is Piers himself. He begins as a sharp, skeptical teenager—more comfortable with guitar lessons and soccer than with the occult—and Sandberg takes real care with his initiation. The discovery of the “Nexus,” a sheet of living gold bearing an unidentifiable script that Piers finds in the shop’s cellar, marks the beginning of his education in Brahan. His approach to decoding the glyphs—methodical and analytical—reflects a broader authorial commitment to making the esoteric feel earned rather than arbitrary. By the time the Nexus is revealed to be connected to the Torvaaden, a living Codex that ultimately takes up residence within Piers himself, the reader has been carefully prepared for what that means.

One of the novel’s most distinctive choices is its setting. Sandberg locates his cosmology in a recognizable Vancouver: the Marpole rail bridge over the Fraser River, the South Vancouver antiques district, and a secondary school with a production of Ubu Roi on its bulletin boards. The ordinary world is not merely a backdrop; it is the specific terrain through which Piers navigates, and the points at which it tears open to reveal the wahan—the transorbal tunnels connecting the orbs—are made more potent by how precisely the surrounding geography has been drawn. A reader familiar with the Fraser River can pinpoint exactly where Piers slips between worlds for the first time.

The sixteen chapters move Piers from apprentice to initiate and, finally, to a reluctant traveler departing for Sunara—the higher orb that has been spoken of since the first page. The novel does not resolve cleanly; it ends on a note of hard-won acceptance rather than triumph, with Piers’ body left behind on life support while his purified ethesia carries the Codex forward.

Rather than offering easy answers, Sandberg explores what it costs to pursue freedom in a cosmology where power is structured and hierarchical, and where the most important battles are interior ones. For readers of Le Guin, Pullman, or Borges, The Golden Codex will feel at home among works of serious speculative fiction that use fantasy to examine larger philosophical questions.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view this thought-provoking speculative fiction at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing. 

The Golden Codex is available through Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

The new range is designed for offices, institutions and customer-facing environments.It includes modular seating solutions for lounges, collaboration areas, leisure spaces, banks, 4s stores and sales offices. Rooted in human-centred design, the collection prioritizes flexibility and rapid reconfiguration, transforming traditional environments into dynamic, efficient spaces. The launch expands Stellar Global’s workspace solutions portfolio with an adaptable, modular soft seating range.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 17th Jun 2026 – Stellar Furniture has introduced a new modular soft seating range developed for workplaces, institutions and commercial environments. The launch expands the company’s workspace solutions portfolio with adaptable soft seating collections, specifically designed to foster human-centred interaction, smooth movement and multifunctional space planning across modern interiors. 

The collection includes modular sofas, lounge chairs, benches, coffee tables, bar stools, bar tables, and collaborative seating arrangements, all developed for a wide range of applications. The range has been designed for lobby lounges, public areas, leisure spaces, tea areas, collaboration zones, customer-facing environments, sales offices, commercial or banking spaces and institutional settings where seating layouts often need to adapt to different operational requirements.

Rather than following fixed-format layouts, the collection has been structured around modular configurations that allow businesses and institutions to modify spaces according to movement patterns, usage requirements and changing workplace needs. Seating arrangements can be adjusted for waiting areas, breakout discussions, collaborative work, structured meetings, informal communication and public interaction without redesigning complete environments. The launch aligns with the growing demand for scenario- based design, where adaptable furniture is integrated to serve specific spatial functions rather than acting as standalone pieces. Through this approach, the collection focuses on supporting practical use cases such as creating clear pathways, collaborative engagement, flexible occupancy and structured customer interaction across professional and institutional environments.

A major aspect of the range is its emphasis on flexibility and reconfiguration. The modular structure allows organisations to scale layouts, rearrange seating systems and optimise space utilisation while maintaining consistency across different zones within the same environment. This approach is particularly relevant for workplaces and institutions that require adaptable layouts capable of supporting multiple styles of interaction throughout the day.

The material palette used across the collection includes solid wood frames, solid wood inner panels, moulded cotton, density foam, MDF, plywood, veneer finishes, sintered stone surfaces and metal structural components. Fabric finishes, wood colours and hardware options are also customisable to support varied project requirements and interior formats across offices, institutional spaces and commercial public environments.

The collection has also been designed to support environments that combine functionality, comfort, and usability. Across the range, Stellar Furniture has incorporated seating formats intended to support collaborative communication, waiting experiences, customer engagement and informal interaction within structured professional settings.

“Businesses today are looking for seating solutions that can adapt across different spaces without losing consistency. This collection reflects market feedback and the effort our teams put into building modular solutions for evolving workspace needs,” said Mr Arihant Nahar, CEO, Stellar Furniture.

With this launch, Stellar Furniture further strengthens its modular workspace and seating portfolio, continuing its focus on adaptable furniture systems developed for evolving workplace, institutional and public-space requirements.

Germany, 17th Jun 2026 – In a world increasingly shaped by digital transformation and artificial intelligence, societies face the challenge of aligning technological innovation with social equity. The Operation HOPE Global Initiative (OHGI) is committed to addressing this challenge by empowering individuals worldwide through financial education, digital literacy, and responsible AI adoption.

Under the academic leadership of Professor Martin Eichenfels and with strategic guidance from Annika Rosenberg, OHGI is developing an innovative framework that integrates economic participation, education, and technological advancement. At its core is the belief that progress can only be sustainable when people from all backgrounds have access to knowledge, opportunities, and modern technologies.

HOPE AI: Preparing Society for the AI Era

Through the launch of HOPE AI, OHGI is establishing a new benchmark for AI education and social innovation. The initiative views artificial intelligence not merely as a technological breakthrough, but as a tool for promoting equal opportunity and economic empowerment.

HOPE AI focuses on three key pillars:

• Providing AI education and skills development for students, professionals, and lifelong learners.
• Promoting ethical and responsible applications of artificial intelligence.
• Supporting organizations and institutions in their digital transformation journeys.

Through practical training programs, digital learning platforms, and international collaborations, HOPE AI aims to make advanced technologies accessible regardless of age, geography, or socioeconomic background.

Financial Education as the Foundation of Economic Freedom

Global experience has consistently demonstrated that financial literacy is a critical component of long-term prosperity. OHGI therefore adopts a holistic approach in which financial knowledge and digital competence are viewed as essential pillars of modern society.

The organization’s educational initiatives cover:

• Wealth building and long-term financial planning
• Credit management and financial responsibility
• Entrepreneurship and innovation development
• Digital economies and emerging labor markets

By equipping individuals with these skills, OHGI seeks to empower people to make informed financial decisions and actively participate in the global economy.

Quebec, Canada, Jun 17, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — As industries across Canada continue to navigate workforce challenges, Montreal airport professional Naimur Rahman is highlighting the growing importance of skilled frontline workers who help keep critical infrastructure operating safely and efficiently every day.

Working as a ground crew professional at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, Rahman has spent years supporting the behind-the-scenes operations that allow thousands of passengers and aircraft to move through one of Canada’s busiest transportation hubs. His experience has given him firsthand insight into the expertise, teamwork, and adaptability required of frontline workers across aviation and other essential industries.

“People often see the end result, but they don’t always see the work that happens behind the scenes,” said Rahman. “Whether it’s aviation, transportation, healthcare, construction, or other critical sectors, skilled frontline workers play a major role in keeping communities functioning.”

According to Rahman, many frontline careers require a combination of technical knowledge, situational awareness, communication skills, and the ability to perform under pressure. In aviation, even routine operations depend on teams working together with precision and consistency.

“Every day brings different challenges,” he said. “Weather changes. Schedules change. Priorities can shift quickly. You learn that preparation and teamwork are essential.”

Rahman believes the contributions of frontline professionals are becoming increasingly important as industries face evolving operational demands and growing expectations around efficiency and reliability.

“The work may not always be visible to the public, but it has a direct impact on people’s daily lives,” he said. “When systems operate smoothly, it’s usually because skilled people are working together behind the scenes.”

His perspective comes from years of working in a fast-paced airport environment where safety remains the top priority. Ground crews must coordinate with multiple teams, adapt to changing conditions, and maintain operational standards regardless of weather or scheduling pressures.

Montreal’s winter climate provides a particularly clear example of the resilience required in many frontline professions.

“When you’re working outside during a January cold snap, there isn’t much room for excuses,” Rahman said. “You focus on the job, support your team, and find solutions. That mindset applies to a lot of essential industries.”

Rahman also believes more attention should be given to career pathways within frontline and operational professions. While these careers may not always receive the same visibility as office-based roles, they offer opportunities to develop valuable skills in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork.

“Some of the best lessons I’ve learned came from working alongside experienced professionals,” he said. “You learn responsibility. You learn discipline. You learn how important it is to be dependable.”

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Rahman remains active in the Montreal community as a husband, father, sports enthusiast, and supporter of local activities. He sees many parallels between successful workplaces, successful sports teams, and strong communities.

“In all of those environments, people rely on each other,” he said. “Success usually comes from trust, communication, and a willingness to contribute.”

As discussions continue about workforce development and the future of critical infrastructure, Rahman hopes greater recognition will be given to the professionals whose work often goes unnoticed but remains essential to daily life.

“Frontline workers help keep cities moving,” he said. “They keep services operating, support communities, and solve problems every day. Those contributions matter, and they deserve recognition.”

Through his work at Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, Rahman continues to advocate for the value of skilled frontline professionals and the critical role they play in supporting Canada’s infrastructure, economy, and communities.

LONDON, UK, June 17th, 2026, Bookies.com, the UK-focused online gambling guide and review platform, today announced a comprehensive update to its Apple Pay Casinos guide for UK players. The refreshed resource reflects the regulatory changes that came into force on 19 January 2026, when the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) capped wagering requirements on casino promotions at a maximum of 10x and prohibited mixed sports and casino bonus offers across the licensed market.

The January reform represents the most significant change to UK online casino promotional rules since the UKGC’s April 2020 ban on credit card use for gambling. Operators across the market have been required to revise welcome offers, ongoing promotions, and bonus terms to comply with the new framework, creating a period of substantial uncertainty for players evaluating which platforms offer genuine value. Bookies.com’s updated guide is designed to cut through that uncertainty for the growing population of UK players who prefer Apple Pay as their primary deposit method.

“Apple Pay has quietly become the default deposit method for a generation of UK casino players,” said a Bookies.com spokesperson. “With biometric authentication, no card details exposed to operators, and instant deposits confirmed by Face ID or Touch ID, it offers a level of security and convenience that traditional debit card flows simply cannot match. Combined with the new UKGC rules, this is the right moment to give UK players a definitive resource on which licensed Apple Pay casinos genuinely lead the market on transparency, withdrawal speed, and bonus value under the post-January framework.”

Why Apple Pay Has Become Central to UK Online Casinos

Industry estimates indicate that approximately 67 percent of UK shoppers now use Apple Pay regularly, with mobile-first behaviour particularly pronounced among the 18 to 44 demographic that drives the majority of UK online casino volume. The UKGC’s 2020 credit card ban removed one of the historical default deposit methods at UK-licensed casinos, accelerating the shift toward debit cards, e-wallets, and mobile payment methods including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. For iOS users in particular, Apple Pay has become the path of least friction from the moment of sign-up through to first deposit.

Tokenisation is central to the security advantage. When a UK player deposits using Apple Pay, the casino operator receives a unique transaction token rather than the player’s actual debit card number, meaning intercepted payment data holds no value outside the specific transaction context. Biometric authentication through Face ID or Touch ID adds a second factor that traditional card payments cannot replicate. Together, these protections address the categories of fraud and data breach risk that have historically affected online gambling platforms.

What the Updated Guide Covers

The refreshed Bookies.com guide evaluates UK-licensed online casinos on five weighted criteria: deposit and withdrawal speed for Apple Pay transactions, minimum deposit and withdrawal limits, transparency of fees and processing terms, eligibility of Apple Pay deposits for current welcome and reload bonuses under the new 10x wagering cap, and overall mobile platform quality across iPhone and iPad devices. Every recommendation is tested hands-on by the Bookies.com editorial team prior to inclusion, with reviews updated as operators adjust their terms in response to the January regulatory changes.

Operators currently featured in the guide include bet365, Sky Vegas, 888casino, Virgin Games, Casimba, and LeoVegas, all of which hold active UKGC licences and accept Apple Pay for deposits with minimum amounts starting from £10. The guide also identifies operators that have removed Apple Pay eligibility from their welcome offers in response to the new regulatory environment, an important disclosure for players evaluating bonus value. Withdrawal handling is covered in detail, including the standard industry practice of returning Apple Pay deposits to the underlying linked debit card rather than to the Apple Pay wallet directly.

The New UKGC Framework in Context

The 19 January 2026 changes introduced three principal reforms. First, wagering requirements on all casino bonus offers are now capped at a maximum of 10x, a substantial reduction from the 35x to 50x requirements that had been common across the UK market. Second, promotional offers combining sports betting and casino elements are no longer permitted, requiring operators to separate their bonus structures by product vertical. Third, terms and conditions on all promotional offers must be presented to UK players with greater clarity, including upfront disclosure of game contributions, time limits, and eligible payment methods. The Bookies.com guide has been updated to reflect each of these requirements on an operator-by-operator basis.
