At the Food Service Tech Expo at the London ExCeL, OiL Chef won the top award for its innovation and simplicity, making the choice easy for the industry-leading judges, who had reviewed many finalists for this Top award. Judges from The Karali Group, Future of Hospitality and Beaconstead were impressed at the fast return on investment for operators and the sustainability attributes. The judges were equally impressed when they found out that fresh hand-breaded bone-in chicken that would normally take 18 minutes in a pressure fryer to cook can now cook in 14 minutes when OiL Chef is used in the fryer, and that fresh hand-battered fish can cook 2 minutes quicker and fresh hand-cut chips at least 30 seconds quicker. These efficiencies not only created faster service but also significantly reduced the energy consumption, saving more money for operators and further reducing carbon footprint. With costs rising and profits shrinking, OiL Chef has been declared the official 2026 best ... Continue reading →

As conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to demonstrate how quickly security conditions can change, British manufacturer Castellex reports growing international interest in family-sized fallout shelters, private bunkers and professional NBC/CBRN air filtration. Hertford, United Kingdom, September 30, 2026 -- The world has entered a period in which personal emergency preparedness is moving from a niche interest into a serious consideration for families in many countries. The continuing Russia–Ukraine war, escalating conflict involving Iran and the United States, tensions involving Israel and neighbouring Middle Eastern countries, and the widespread use of missiles and drones have changed perceptions of how quickly civilians can find themselves affected by events previously considered distant. Recent events have also demonstrated that modern conflicts do not necessarily remain within the borders of the countries where they begin. Missile and drone attacks can threaten ...

valueGLASS is calling attention to the loss of independent auto glass businesses in Kitsap County following Auto Glass Plus becoming part of Safelite. The Bremerton shop has published an owner commentary explaining why losing a competitor matters to customers and the community. Washington's Department of Enterprise Services identifies Safelite as the former Auto Glass Plus in Bremerton on its auto glass contract and provides an assignment and assumption document. "We are sad that we lost a worthy competitor, and we are sad for the community," said Charles Groves, owner of valueGLASS. "Strong independent shops give people real choices. We want to earn customers through our work, service and pricing." Groves argues that a shop remaining open does not preserve the same competitive choice when its ownership joins an existing chain. He encourages customers to ask who owns a business and compare complete estimates. valueGLASS offers a $50 Price Beat Guarantee against ... Continue reading →

New York, NY, August 17, 2026 -- DME Music News Company "Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies." - Edward Bulwer Lytton In the time of servitude after 1619 many people from the continent of Africa were in a constant mental state of depression, and so they began to write, and sing songs to uplift, and inspire for better outcomes in their future. This same idea was established in the African American community during the early 70's. The urban African American communities were drug, and crime infested, and the children chose the street life in order to survive. American society always confirmed that Africans were a soulful people, and had a talent in dance while expressing themselves through song, but these same people wanted revolution for past crimes against their humanity. This anger led to the development of rap, and hip-hop genre of music. This type of music said something to the people, and the listeners replied with productive ... Continue reading →

Electronics manufacturers often face a costly dilemma: Their ESD flooring needs to be replaced, but shutting down production to remove and replace the floor may be even more disruptive.

Installations can also be completed in phases, allowing manufacturers to keep other areas of the facility operating while work is underway. “For electronics manufacturers, ESD flooring is an essential part of protecting sensitive products and equipment. The problem is finding a way to replace that flooring without bringing production to a standstill,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “An interlocking floor that can be installed over the existing surface gives manufacturers another option.” Traditional floor replacement may require manufacturers to remove the existing ...
