Tuula Pere also took an Ultimate Championship Trophy for The Fox and the Garbage War and The Hermit's Hut, and first place in Best Children's Book of Spring 2026. The Garbage War is the sixth title in a picture book series about power, corruption, and disinformation.Helsinki, Finland, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A rigged mayoral election. A television channel launched to broadcast invented stories about a rival. A tower built for no reason beyond being taller than anyone else's. A waste-to-fertilizer scheme sold to a town as progress. These are the plots of a picture book series for children. <img alt="Francis Fox, the Scheming Politician of Tuula Pere's Children's Series, Named Best Villain in the Outstanding Creator Awards" height="532" src="https://pressranger.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/3597220/Francis-the-Fox-Series.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="799" /> The six Francis the Fox picture books by Tuula Pere, illustrated by Andrea Alemanno. Francis Fox was named Best Villain in the Outstanding Creator Awards' Spring 2026 contest. Its central character has now been named Best Villain in the Outstanding Creator Awards' Spring 2026 contest, the only winner of that award. Francis Fox is a small-town politician who rigs elections, spreads lies about his opponents, and builds monuments to himself, across six picture books by Dr. Tuula Pere, illustrated by Andrea Alemanno. In The Fox's City he manipulates a town's leaders for his own gain. In The Fox and the Election Fraud he runs for mayor with neither honesty nor service in mind. The Fox's Palace and The Fox's Tower follow him into status projects built on deceit and vanity. In The Fox's New Channel he chases fame through nonstop broadcasts and fabricated stories, turning a community against its respected mayor. "The weakest people need the most capable defenders, and the most challenging topics must be written with the most sensitive hand," Pere says. "This is my challenge and joy as an author." The newest title, The Fox and the Garbage War, drew the rest of the contest's honors. It was placed first in Best Children's Book of Spring 2026 and first in Animal Literature, and its characters Linda Lupo and William the Wolf shared the award for Best Supporting Character. Pere also received an Outstanding Creator Awards Ultimate Championship Trophy for The Fox and the Garbage War together with a second title, The Hermit's Hut, which took first place in Writing and Publishing and in Motivational and Inspirational Books. In The Garbage War, Francis follows an election defeat by chasing fame through a flashy waste-to-fertilizer venture — a story about false progress and the value of asking who benefits. Reviewers have picked up the satire. Literary Titan called The Fox and the Election Fraud "an engaging and witty portrayal of political manipulation and greed," and described The Fox's New Channel as unfolding "like a satirical reflection of modern media culture." Reviewing The Garbage War, the same publication wrote that after reading it, "I could easily imagine talking with a child about honesty, leadership, and why people should question things that do not feel right." All six titles hold five-star reviews from both Literary Titan and Readers' Favorite. The books are set in an animal town and name no country, party, or public figure. What recurs is a type rather than a portrait: the leader who puts himself before the people he governs, and the neighbors who eventually notice. "I want to emphasize that honest action always wins in the end," Pere says. "Although this does not instantly seem true in real life, justice will eventually prevail. The profit it gives can be more than money and power." Pere came to children's writing from a career spent close to the machinery she now satirizes. She took her law degree in 1984 and worked for two decades as a corporate lawyer and then as Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at two of Finland's largest companies, the state beverage group Alko and the forest-industry group Metsa-Serla. She published her first storybook in 2010, and in 2015 completed a Ph.D. in Law at the University of Helsinki with a dissertation on the limits of freedom of speech in the Finnish mass media during the social and cultural changes of the 1960s and 1970s. "Those were the years for preparing to become an author," she says of the decades before her first book. "Without that exercise and accumulated experience, I wouldn't write the same way I do now." More than eighty children's titles have followed since 2010, published through WickWick, the Helsinki publishing house Pere co-founded with her husband, CEO Pekka Pere. Her War and Peace picture books address conflict and displacement; the Pearl series, about a girl with a disability, was selected for the International Board on Books for Young People's 2021 list of Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities. Pere is the first author in Outstanding Creator Awards history to be named Author of the Year twice. Her flagship title The Healer Cat is published in 101 languages, and 115 bilingual editions of her books are now in print, each one translated by a person rather than a machine.

Denmark's restaurant directory publishes verified dates, prices and organisers for the 2026–27 festival season, and names the events that appear in travel guides, listicles and AI-generated recommendations without being real.Hornb&#230;k, Denmark, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://restaurant.dk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Restaurant.dk">Restaurant.dk</a>, Denmark's restaurant directory, today published a verified calendar of the country's food and drink festivals: 95 events mapped, 55 of them still to come between August 2026 and May 2027. <img alt="Restaurant.dk Maps 95 Danish Food Festivals — and 16 That Don't Exist" height="419" src="https://pressranger.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/3597037/restaurant-dk-festivalsaeson-2026.png" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="799" /> Denmark's food and drink festival season, August to November 2026. Restaurant.dk mapped 95 festivals and verified every date, price and organiser against a named source. Every date, price and organiser carries a named source. Where two sources disagree, both figures appear. The review also identified 16 festivals that circulate widely online but do not exist in Denmark. The full calendar is published at <a href="https://restaurant.dk/nyheder/begivenheder/madfestivaler-i-danmark/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="restaurant.dk/nyheder/begivenheder/madfestivaler-i-danmark">restaurant.dk/nyheder/begivenheder/madfestivaler-i-danmark</a> and is maintained as organisers confirm dates. Sixteen Danish Food Festivals That Are Not Real <ul><li>"Copenhagen Restaurant Week" and "Restaurant Week Denmark" — the Danish event is called Dining Week.</li><li>"Copenhagen Food Festival" — the event is Copenhagen Cooking &amp; Food Festival.</li><li>"Wadden Sea Oyster Festival" — the festival on the Wadden Sea coast is Ribe Oyster Festival.</li><li>"Nordic Coffee Fest" — held in Gothenburg, Sweden.</li><li>"Smagen af Danmark" — a Danish television series, not a festival.</li></ul> Others still listed as active have closed. Fanø Oyster Festival was last documented in 2018 and Copenhagen Cocktail Week in 2020. Dates in circulation are wrong too. One Danish calendar lists J-dag — the annual release of Tuborg's Christmas beer, and one of the busiest nights of the year in Danish bars — as Nov. 3, 2026. J-dag falls on the first Friday in November. In 2026 that is Nov. 6; Nov. 3 is a Tuesday. "A traveler who books a trip around a festival that closed eight years ago doesn't blame the website that listed it. They blame Denmark," said Louiie Wohlert, founder of Restaurant.dk. "Bad data about a small country travels further than good data, because almost nobody is checking it." The Danish Food Festivals Worth Planning a Trip Around in 2026 <ul><li>Aug. 3–9 — Moules Frites Festival. 189 kroner for mussels and a glass of wine at more than 35 restaurants nationwide.</li><li>Aug. 21–30 — Copenhagen Cooking &amp; Food Festival. More than 100 events and about 80,000 attendees. The 2026 ingredient of the year is the apple, the first time a fruit has held the title, and the guest region is Istria.</li><li>Sept. 4–6 — Food Festival, Aarhus. 30,000 visitors, more than 250 producers, a 50,000-square-meter site. Children up to and including age 10 enter free.</li><li>Oct. 9–18 — Dining Week. Denmark's largest restaurant festival. The October 2025 edition sold 90,000 tickets across more than 300 restaurants, a record for an autumn edition.</li><li>Oct. 23–24 — Aarhus TOGETHER. More than 75 breweries and 450 beers, up from 67 breweries in 2025.</li><li>Nov. 6 — J-dag, 8:59 p.m. About 400 venues, 30,000 beers and 45,000 hats distributed across 55 routes within a three-hour window.</li></ul> Why Denmark Lacked a Reliable Food Festival Calendar Existing overviews are partial. The most widely cited Danish festival list dates from 2018 and still includes events that have since closed. Beer calendars cover only beer. Tourist boards cover only what is tourist-facing. None carry prices, organisers and sources in one place. "When someone asks a search engine or an assistant what is happening in Denmark this autumn, the answer is assembled from whatever is lying around online," Wohlert said. "Right now a lot of what is lying around is wrong. The fix is to publish something better and keep it current." Restaurant.dk is also publishing the 12 entries it could not fully verify — including Dining Week's autumn menu prices and the entry fee for Rødding Æblefestival — as open questions rather than omitting them, and invites organisers and readers to correct them. Frequently Asked Questions When is Denmark's food festival season? The main season runs from early August to mid-November. It opens with Moules Frites Festival on Aug. 3 and Copenhagen Cooking &amp; Food Festival on Aug. 21, peaks with Food Festival in Aarhus in early September and Dining Week from Oct. 9 to 18, and closes with J-dag on Nov. 6 and the Christmas markets from mid-November. A second, smaller season runs from late January to May, including Denmark's Michelin Guide ceremony and Madens Folkemøde. Which Danish food festival is the largest? By visitor numbers, Food Festival in Aarhus draws about 30,000 people across three days to a 50,000-square-meter site with more than 250 producers. By participation, Dining Week is larger: the October 2025 edition sold 90,000 tickets across more than 300 restaurants in over 70 towns, from Frederikshavn in the north to Rødby in the south, including Bornholm, Ærø and Samsø. Why do so many lists of Danish food festivals include events that do not exist? Because almost nobody checks them. Names spread between travel listicles, get repeated by AI assistants trained on those listicles, and are never traced back to an organiser. Four of the invented names — "Restaurant Week Denmark," "Copenhagen Restaurant Week," "Dine Around" and "Smag Verden" — appear to be imports of concepts that exist elsewhere but were never launched in Denmark. Restaurant.dk verified each entry against an organiser's own listing and published the ones that failed. <img alt="Restaurant.dk Maps 95 Danish Food Festivals — and 16 That Don't Exist" height="404" src="https://pressranger.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/3597038/Restaurant-dk-Frontpage.png" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="799" /> Restaurant.dk lists close to 30,000 restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels across Denmark, with editorial coverage of the country's food and hospitality scene.

ISTANBUL, TR, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ISTANBUL, TR - July 31, 2026 - Maltepe Dental Clinic has been ranked the top <a href="https://www.maltepedentalclinic.com/dental-treatments/cosmetic-dentistry/porcelain-veneers/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="dental veneer">dental veneer</a> clinic in Turkey for international patients, according to an independent study published in July 2026 by Prismoon LLC, a digital marketing agency based in McLean, Virginia. The analysis screened more than 40 Turkish dental clinics and scored qualifying facilities against seven weighted criteria: reviews and patient satisfaction (20%), clinical philosophy and materials (18%), in-house laboratory and technology (15%), accreditation and licensing (15%), value for money (12%), longevity (10%), and international presence and aftercare (10%). The full study and methodology are published at prismoon website. Published as part of Prismoon's Digital Marketing Studies Series, the study screened <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX-n5SjIRcA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="dental veneer clinics">dental veneer clinics</a> across Turkey using publicly available data before qualifying more than 40 facilities for detailed scoring. The Dental Clinic received the highest composite score among the five clinics named in the final assessment, which also included Dental Centre Turkey, Sevil Smile, Attelia Dental, and WestDent Clinic. The ranking reflects Prismoon's editorial scoring model and is not a clinical or regulatory assessment. <img alt="top 5 dental veneer clinics in turkey" src="https://prismoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Top-5-Dental-Veneer-Clinics-in-Turkey-for-International-Patients-1024x576.webp" /> The scoring model weighted conservative treatment — approaches that preserve more of the natural tooth — more heavily than patient volume, drawing a clear line between minimal-prep veneers and the aggressive full-coverage work behind the "Turkey teeth" phenomenon. Minimally invasive preparation is a widely documented principle in restorative dentistry, and the study applied it as a weighted criterion rather than a measure of clinical outcome. Prismoon stated that it has no financial relationship with any clinic in the study, that no clinic paid any fee for inclusion or placement, and that clinics were not notified in advance. "Being recognized for our conservative approach reflects a commitment we've held for years," said Dr. Alper Gürhan, lead dentist at Maltepe Dental Clinic. "Not every patient is a candidate for minimal-preparation veneers, and part of our job in the consultation is telling people honestly when they're not." One factor the study weighted was the clinic's London partner facility, which handles consultation and aftercare for UK and European patients — a response to a recurring criticism of dental tourism, where follow-up care often disappears once patients fly home. The Istanbul clinic reports treating more than 14,000 patients from over 85 countries across 24 years of operation. The clinic holds international health tourism authorization from the Turkish Ministry of Health, along with ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices), and ISO 10002:2018 (complaint handling) certification. It runs an in-house dental laboratory and works with implant systems including Straumann, MegaGen, ICX, and Hiossen. "Price is usually the first thing patients compare, because it's the easiest number to find," said Dr. Yusuf İlhan, who oversees international patient services at Maltepe Dental Clinic. "We'd encourage patients to ask two more questions before they book anywhere: how much natural tooth the treatment removes, and how any follow-up adjustment is handled once they're home." Turkey has become the world's busiest destination for cosmetic dentistry, welcoming an estimated 600,000 international dental patients a year at costs 60–70% below UK and US prices. The study valued Turkey's dental tourism market at roughly $284 million in 2024 and projected it to surpass $1 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of about 24%. The wider Turkish medical tourism market was valued at approximately $2.9 billion in 2024, according to Global Market Insights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX-n5SjIRcA <a href="https://www.maltepedentalclinic.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Maltepe Dental Clinic">Maltepe Dental Clinic</a> operates from Istanbul with a partner facility in London for consultation and aftercare services. The clinic specializes in porcelain veneers, zirconium crowns, dental implants, and comprehensive cosmetic dentistry procedures. ### For more information about Maltepe Dental Clinic, contact the company here: Maltepe Dental Clinic Dr. Alper Gurhan and Dr. Yusuf Ilhan +905452315329 smile@maltepedentalclinic.com Kosuyolu Cad.

Maltepe Dental Clinic Ranks First Among Turkish Dental Veneer Clinics in Independent Study

<ul><li>Pluvicto now approved across PSMA+ metastatic prostate cancer, nearly doubling eligible patient population </li><li>PSMAddition updated results show Pluvicto reduced risk of progression or death by 33% in combination with standard of care (ADT + ARPI) vs. SoC alone, with positive overall survival trend (HR=0.80) </li><li>mHSPC is incurable and about half of men progress within 20 months, highlighting need for differentiated, precision approaches earlier in disease journey </li><li>With five US RLT manufacturing sites operational or under construction, Novartis has scale and infrastructure to meet growing demand </li></ul> Basel, July 31, 2026 – Novartis today announced the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Pluvicto® (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan) in combination with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) for patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic androgen pathway modulation-naive/sensitive (mAPMN/S) prostate cancer, commonly known as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).  Approval is based on the Phase III PSMAddition trial, which showed Pluvicto reduced the risk of progression or death by 28% (HR 0.72; 95% CI: 0.58–0.90) when combined with standard of care (SoC; ARPI + androgen deprivation therapy [ADT]) compared to SoC alone. At a subsequent updated analysis, the Pluvicto combination further reduced the risk of progression or death by 33% (HR 0.67; 95% CI: 0.55–0.82) with a positive overall survival (OS) trend favoring Pluvicto plus SoC (HR=0.80; 95% CI: 0.63–1.01), as data continue to mature ahead of final OS analysis. “The treatment landscape for mHSPC is evolving, and this approval reflects a growing recognition that earlier treatment intensification matters,” said Michael Morris, MD, Prostate Cancer Section Head, GU Oncology, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and a Principal Investigator of the study in the US. “Having a radioligand therapy available at this stage meaningfully expands the options for physicians and represents real progress for patients.”  Pluvicto can now be used across all stages of PSMA-positive metastatic prostate cancer, nearly doubling the eligible patient population. The approval builds on its established use in metastatic androgen pathway modulation-resistant (mAPMR) prostate cancer, also known as metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). More than 186,000 men are diagnosed each year with mHSPC globally*1. Despite significant treatment advancements, about a third of patients do not achieve undetectable PSA with ARPI-ADT doublet therapy alone and half will progress to castration-resistant disease within 20 months, highlighting the need for earlier treatment intensification in this disease state2-6. The PSMA biomarker is present in more than 80% of patients with prostate cancer7-11. "This approval signals a new era in the treatment of prostate cancer, representing a shift toward more targeted, early intervention," said Gina Carithers, CEO and President of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "This milestone redefines prostate cancer care, ensuring that from day one of their metastatic diagnosis, men have a precision option." The safety profile and tolerability of Pluvicto were consistent with its established profile in PSMAfore and VISION. At primary analysis, grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 50.7% of patients who received Pluvicto plus SoC compared to 43.0% receiving SoC alone. The most common all-grade AEs were dry mouth, fatigue, nausea, hot flush and anemia. Health-related quality of life was maintained based on longitudinal assessment reflecting patient experience over time, with similar outcomes across arms in PSMAddition. "Pluvicto is now approved across PSMA-positive metastatic prostate cancer, nearly doubling the number of patients who may benefit from this targeted approach," said Victor Bultó, President, US, Novartis. "Patients with metastatic prostate cancer continue to face significant unmet need, underscoring the importance of introducing precision options earlier in the treatment journey. Backed by nearly a decade of leadership in radioligand therapy and continued investment in science and infrastructure, we are expanding this field and bringing its promise to more patients." Novartis RLT Patient and Office Support With five manufacturing sites now operational or under construction in the US, Novartis has established an industry-leading footprint to support its goal of establishing RLT as a fundamental pillar of oncology care. Backed by an integrated end-to-end RLT ecosystem, Novartis can deliver Pluvicto to US treatment sites within 5 days to ensure prompt treatment initiation. Novartis Patient Support is available to help eligible patients get started on treatment, including help understanding insurance coverage and identifying potential financial assistance options.

After administration into the bloodstream, Pluvicto binds to target cells, including prostate cancer cells that express PSMA, a transmembrane protein. Once bound, energy emissions from the radioisotope damage the target cells and nearby cells, disrupting their ability to replicate and/or triggering cell death. Pluvicto is the only PSMA-targeted agent approved across metastatic prostate cancer. Novartis is also investigating Pluvicto in oligometastatic prostate cancer (PSMA-DC, NCT05939414). Radioligand Therapy (RLT) at Novartis Novartis is reimagining cancer care with RLT for patients with advanced cancers. By harnessing the power of targeted radiation, RLT is designed to deliver treatment directly to target cells anywhere in the body. As a global leader in this space, Novartis has built integrated capabilities across research, manufacturing, logistics, and patient and provider support to help ensure approved RLTs reach patients reliably and efficiently. Novartis is investigating a broad portfolio of isotopes, ligands, and combination therapies to expand the use of RLT beyond prostate and neuroendocrine tumors.

FDA approves Pluvicto for PSMA+ metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), advancing potential new standard of care across metastatic disease

The Helsinki publisher has 115 bilingual editions in print across six titles and expects at least 200 by the end of 2026. All translations are already complete — and every edition is translated by a person, not a machine.Helsinki, Finland, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A children's publisher run by two people from Helsinki has published the same picture book in 101 languages — and is now reissuing it as bilingual editions, pairing English with each of the other hundred. <img alt="WickWick Publishes Tuula Pere's The Healer Cat in 101 Languages and Expands Its Bilingual Catalog Toward 200 Editions" height="532" src="https://pressranger.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/3595940/The-Healer-Cat-Bilingual3.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="799" /> Eight of the 33 bilingual editions of The Healer Cat by Tuula Pere, published by WickWick. The Healer Cat, by Dr. Tuula Pere, is available in 101 single-language editions covering the mother tongues of more than 95 percent of the world's children. Thirty-three bilingual English-paired editions of the title have been published to date; the remaining 67 are in the publishing process and are expected by the end of 2026. Across six titles, WickWick has 115 bilingual editions in print: 76 pairing English with a second language, and 39 pairing Finnish. The same approach is already running from Finnish, and Swedish is next. By the end of 2026 WickWick expects at least 200 bilingual editions in print, including 100 English-paired and more than 50 Finnish-paired and more than 50 Swedish-paired editions of The Healer Cat, alongside further editions of Friends and Rivals and other titles. The translations these editions require are already finished; the remaining work is production. German, Arabic, and Persian are under consideration as further anchor languages. The economics of the format favor scale. The first bilingual edition of any title is the expensive one, because the layout has to be rebuilt to carry two languages at once; each additional language pair then costs roughly a tenth of the first. For every title now in the bilingual program that groundwork is already complete, and the remaining work is adding languages to a layout that exists. That ratio, rather than translation, is what sets the pace. "The most important thing is to connect with my readers' minds," says Pere, who co-founded the company. "I don't try to please anybody; I just honestly write for the benefit of children." Behind the program sits a deliberate rejection of the standard model. Rather than selling foreign rights and hoping local publishers pick up each title, WickWick translates and publishes its own catalog directly, through a network of more than 200 individually curated freelance translators assembled one by one since 2010. Every edition is translated by a person, not a machine — which is why the catalog took fifteen years to build. "The industry model says a small publisher licenses rights and hopes," said Pekka Pere, WickWick's CEO and co-founder. "We decided instead to become the infrastructure ourselves. Obviously, machine translation would have got us to a hundred languages faster. With human translators it took us fifteen years, and that is the point." The bilingual program is built on a catalog of original work. WickWick has published more than 80 original English-language titles by Pere, many of them award-winning, and has had them translated into a wide range of languages through its translator network. Each bilingual edition pairs one English original with one of those translations. The Healer Cat came first, followed by Friends and Rivals, with further titles in progress. The English catalog includes the Colin the Crab and Axel and Ava early reader series and the War and Peace picture books, which have reached readers from refugee education programs to diplomatic settings. Tuula Pere is the first author in Outstanding Creator Awards history to be named Author of the Year twice. Her books have continued collecting honors since, with The Fox and the Garbage War taking first place in its category in the Spring 2026 contest. Her path to children's literature is itself unconventional: a Ph.D. in Law from the University of Helsinki and a career that rose from corporate lawyer to Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at major Finnish companies preceded her first storybook. "I believe in the power of words," she has said of her mission. "I want to write about social and political problems in a way that works for children." WickWick's bilingual editions serve immigrant and diaspora families, language learners, and international schools. The publisher presents its catalog at the Bologna Children's Book Fair and Frankfurt Book Fair. Notes to Editors <ul><li>The Healer Cat is published in 101 languages, English included.</li><li>A bilingual edition presents two languages in one book. Of The Healer Cat, 33 English-paired editions are published to date and 67 are in the publishing process.</li><li>Bilingual editions in print, by title: The Healer Cat 33 (33 English-paired); Scared to Swim 21 (11 English, 10 Finnish); Dread in the Dark 21 (11 English, 10 Finnish); Friends and Rivals 21 (11 English, 10 Finnish); Traveling Companions 15 (8 English, 7 Finnish); The Only Crow 4 (2 English, 2 Finnish).

1.24 billion tokens, 110 candidates manually reviewed, 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations. The Italian cybersecurity company examines the costs, results, and limitations of using frontier models to identify software vulnerabilities.Verona, Italy, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ISGroup, an Italian cybersecurity company, has published "What Can an Attacker Find With an LLM?", a large-scale study on the use of Large Language Models to identify vulnerabilities in source code. <img alt="" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/fc749da0-3a01-419b-865f-5872362b603d/isgroup-new-default.png" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" data-dpi="2400" data-filename="isgroup_new_default.png" /> The case study focuses on GlobaLeaks, an open-source whistleblowing platform developed over more than a decade and previously reviewed through several independent security audits. The analysis, conducted with the support of models from Anthropic and OpenAI and accompanied by systematic human validation, resulted in the confirmation of 29 vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations. Overall, approximately 1.24 billion tokens were processed through 12,000 model requests. These results produced 110 candidates, all of which were manually triaged by ISGroup researchers. Every model output was treated as a hypothesis requiring verification. Reproduction, impact assessment, and final classification remained the responsibility of the security specialists. All findings were shared with the GlobaLeaks developers before publication. The most critical issues were addressed, contributing to the security of software used by news organisations, companies, and public administrations to protect sources and whistleblowers. The research examines how access to frontier models can expand the capabilities of those analysing software. Lower costs now make it possible to review entire repositories more broadly and continuously, an activity that until recently required weeks of specialist work and substantial budgets. To guide the analysis, ISGroup defined a threat model, a taxonomy of the main classes of software weaknesses, and specific evidence requirements. "Artificial intelligence does not replace specialist expertise, but it increases the amount of code a team can analyse and reduces the cost of doing so," said Francesco Ongaro, founder of ISGroup. "Experts still have the decisive role of distinguishing a plausible hypothesis from a real vulnerability." The study also describes the limitations of the approach, including false positives, non-deterministic results, and the need for rigorous human validation.

</div>London, United Kingdom, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="https://berkstechnologies.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Berks Technologies</a>, a UK-based digital marketing and SEO agency, has released new insights into businesses that can improve organic search performance by leveraging Google's People Also Search For (PASF) feature as part of a broader search engine optimization strategy. As search algorithms continue to evolve, understanding user intent has become increasingly important for organizations seeking sustainable online visibility. According to Berks Technologies, PASF provides valuable insight into the related topics and search behaviors users explore after an initial Google search, creating new opportunities for businesses to expand content coverage and improve search relevance. Many businesses focus exclusively on primary keywords while overlooking the additional search journeys their customers take. The People Also Search For feature provides valuable signals that help organizations create more comprehensive content aligned with real user intent. Google's PASF suggestions are generated from actual search behavior, helping users discover related topics after returning to search results. Berks Technologies explains that these recommendations can serve as a valuable resource for keyword discovery, content planning, and improving topical authority. The company recommends incorporating PASF insights into content strategies by identifying related search queries, organizing them into supporting content themes, and creating articles that answer multiple user questions within a single resource. This approach can increase content relevance, improve user engagement, and strengthen long-term SEO performance. Berks Technologies also emphasizes the importance of distinguishing PASF from Google's "People Also Ask" feature. While both provide search insights, PASF focuses on related searches users commonly perform next, offering marketers additional opportunities to expand keyword targeting and better address search intent. For local businesses, PASF can reveal region-specific search patterns that support localized <a href="https://berkstechnologies.co.uk/seo-services/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Berkshire SEO Services</a> campaigns and uncover lower-competition opportunities capable of attracting qualified traffic. The company advises businesses to avoid keyword stuffing and instead prioritize high-quality, informative content that naturally incorporates related search topics while addressing users' evolving information needs. As <a href="https://berkstechnologies.co.uk/people-also-search-for-seo/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">People Also Search For</a> continues to become more intent-driven, Berks Technologies believes businesses that use PASF insights strategically will be better positioned to improve search visibility, strengthen topical authority, and deliver more valuable experiences for their audiences. About Berks Technologies Berks Technologies is a United Kingdom-based digital marketing agency specializing in search engine optimization, website development, digital strategy, and online growth solutions. The company helps businesses improve their digital presence through data-driven SEO strategies, content optimization, and performance-focused marketing services.

The partnership began through an unexpected connection in the nearby Ligurian village of Borgomaro, where the family now lives alongside the owner of <a href="http://gianan.it" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Gianan</a>. Having relocated to Italy, the family has become part of the local community while continuing to compete on the international sailing circuit, where they have established themselves as one of the most successful families in youth sailing. Across three age groups, the family has produced multiple World Champion sailors, earning worldwide recognition in the Optimist Class, Olympic Class Ilka 7 and Olympic Class 470 and laying the foundations for future Olympic campaigns. Their remarkable achievements, coupled with their resilience and determination, immediately resonated with the values that define Gianan. "What began as neighbours getting to know one another quickly became a deep admiration for everything this family represents," said the owner of Gianan, Erim Jones. "Their commitment, humility and determination are truly inspiring. We are honoured to support them as they pursue their Olympic ambitions and continue to represent Ukraine with such distinction on the world stage." Although Gianan is best known for producing premium wines and offering authentic agriturismo experiences in the heart of the Ligurian Alps, the business has always believed that success is about more than vineyards and hospitality. It is equally about investing in people, preserving community values and supporting those whose dedication inspires others. The sponsorship will help support the family's ongoing training programme, international travel, competition schedule and equipment as they continue progressing through the elite sailing pathway. With international regattas taking place across Europe and beyond, this partnership will provide valuable support as the young sailors continue competing against the world's very best. The relationship between Gianan and the sailing team is founded on shared principles. Great wines are crafted through patience, precision and respect for nature—qualities equally essential in competitive sailing, where success is earned through years of discipline, perseverance and an unwavering commitment to continual improvement. For Gianan, supporting this remarkable family is also a celebration of the welcoming spirit of Liguria. Their story demonstrates how a small local community can bring together people from different backgrounds, united by common values and a belief in excellence. As the family continues its pursuit of future World Championship titles and Olympic qualification, Gianan looks forward to sharing their inspiring journey with guests, partners and supporters through events, storytelling and collaborative initiatives that celebrate sport, community and the enduring spirit of perseverance. About Gianan: Located in Ponti di Pornassio, Liguria, <a href="http://gianan.it" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Gianan</a> is a boutique winery and agriturismo dedicated to producing exceptional wines that express the unique character of the Ligurian landscape.

Management Report first semester 2026

From a true Winter War story to a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan — Tuula Pere's "diplomacy of the heart"Helsinki, Finland, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As conflicts around the world push record numbers of families from their homes, a Finnish publisher's War and Peace picture book series offers children a language for the hardest subjects: war, displacement, and the courage to remain kind. <img alt="WickWick Launches Fourth Book in Its War and Peace Picture Book Series for Children" height="532" src="https://pressranger.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/3595069/War-and-Peace-Books.jpg" style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" width="799" /> The War and Peace picture book series by Finnish author Dr. Tuula Pere, published by WickWick Ltd: Lullaby of the Valley, Between the Walls, Raspberry Red, and Mother's Bread Dough. The series by two-time Outstanding Creator Awards Author of the Year Dr. Tuula Pere — Lullaby of the Valley, Between the Walls, Raspberry Red, and the newest addition, Mother's Bread Dough — is published by Helsinki-based WickWick Ltd in multiple language editions. The books have traveled unusually far for picture books: the Arabic editions were launched with a reading session at a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, and Between the Walls and Lullaby of the Valley were delivered through diplomatic channels to the leaders meeting at the 2018 Helsinki summit. The series began at a breakfast table. Pere was in her own safe kitchen in Helsinki when she looked at the cover of Suomen Kuvalehti, Finland's leading weekly magazine: a photograph of a small girl standing in ruins in the Middle East, under the headline "Only she is left." "The contrast was huge," Pere says. "Tears began to flow from my eyes. I simply had to do something. Writing a children's book about war and peace was my only means." That book became Lullaby of the Valley. Alongside the news, Pere drew on the wartime memories of older generations in Finland — and on what those memories revealed. "During significant challenges, individuals have often felt small and insecure," she says. "On the other hand, a surprising force can be found in small people when we don't even expect it. Even the most modest individuals have grown into people who make a difference. That is encouraging for us and makes us try and dare, even if the situation seems hopeless." Raspberry Red is based on a true story from Finland's Winter War (1939–40), entrusted to the author by the woman who lived it as a child. "I find it extremely important to pass on the experiences of previous generations to younger people," Pere says. "We must try to learn something from what has happened in the past. Maybe this would prevent the same mistakes from happening again." Between the Walls tells of two towns divided by a wall — and the children who find a way through. "I chose this topic for my children's book because it's good to introduce this kind of thinking about resolving disagreements as early as possible," says Pere. "I call this approach 'diplomacy of the heart.'" The newest title, Mother's Bread Dough, illustrated by Stefan Turk, brings the series' themes to the experience of flight itself: when Leo and his mother must escape their home, they carry with them warm loaves of bread, a kneading bowl, and a jar of the family's sourdough starter — a story about what families keep alive when everything else is left behind. The book took third place in the Best Children's Book category of the Outstanding Creator Awards' Spring 2023 contest. The books' themes have found institutional recognition beyond the children's book world. At the Frankfurt Book Fair, WickWick was approached by the Muslim Council of Elders — the Abu Dhabi–based body chaired by the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, which promotes peace and reconciliation in the Muslim world, and which earlier that year had hosted the signing of the Document on Human Fraternity with Pope Francis during the first papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula. The council was looking for children's books on war and peace. Its Secretary-General sat down at the stand and read all three titles through. Within days, the two organizations had an agreement covering worldwide Arabic translation and publishing rights, and the Arabic editions appeared within weeks. The series was launched on 2 December 2019 at Mrajeeb Al Fhood, the Emirati-funded camp for Syrian refugees in northern Jordan, where books were distributed and dozens of children gathered for a reading of Raspberry Red — the story of a girl forced to flee her home when war breaks out, and her return once it ends. Pere, who holds a Ph.D. in Law and began her career as a corporate lawyer before rising to Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at major Finnish companies — including Alko Group and the forest-industry group Metsä-Serla — does not shy away from the series' darker material. "I want to believe that we can cherish humanity, even if life is challenging at times," she says. "I find it especially beautiful if a person respects the life of others, even if their own is under threat. It is probably the greatest gift you can give to another." The series belongs to WickWick's broader multilingual program: the publisher's flagship title, The Healer Cat, appears in bilingual editions across nearly 90 languages, while the War and Peace books are published in English, Finnish, and Swedish editions — Mother's Bread Dough currently in English and Finnish — with further languages in preparation. NOTES TO EDITORS Illustrators: Andrea Alemanno (Lullaby of the Valley, Between the Walls), Georgia Stylou (Raspberry Red), Stefan Turk (Mother's Bread Dough). Origin: Pere began writing Lullaby of the Valley after seeing the cover of the Finnish weekly Suomen Kuvalehti — a photograph of a girl in ruins in the Middle East under the headline "Only she is left." Quotes in this release are her own words, supplied by the author. A longer version of this account is available to journalists on request. Raspberry Red is based on a true Winter War (1939–40) story, told to the author by the woman who experienced it as a child. Arabic rights: In November 2019, WickWick Ltd sold worldwide Arabic translation and publishing rights for Between the Walls, Lullaby of the Valley, and Raspberry Red to Al Hokama Publishing FZ LLC, the publishing arm of the Muslim Council of Elders in Abu Dhabi. Refugee camp launch: The Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported on 4 December 2019 that Al Hokama Publishing launched the three-book series with a reading session at the Mrajeeb Al Fhood refugee camp in northern Jordan. Books were distributed to children and Raspberry Red was read aloud to dozens of them. The launch date of 2 December was chosen to coincide with the 48th UAE National Day. Mrajeeb Al Fhood is the UAE-funded Emirati-Jordanian camp for Syrian refugees, roughly 20 km east of Zarqa, opened in 2013. Background on the council: an independent body of Muslim scholars founded in 2014, chaired by the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, working to promote peace and counter extremism. In February 2019 it hosted Pope Francis in Abu Dhabi — the first visit by a pope to the Arabian Peninsula — where the Document on Human Fraternity was signed. Awards: Dr. Tuula Pere is the first two-time Author of the Year in Outstanding Creator Awards history. In the Spring 2023 contest, Between the Walls took second place and Mother's Bread Dough third place in the Best Children's Book category. Story angles: children's books as peace education; a true Winter War childhood story retold for today's children; picture books reaching children in refugee camps; food and family traditions as a child's anchor in displacement.
