MIAOLI, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) group CTCI announced today that it has won an NT$154.7bn EPC tender jointly with Japan’s Mitsubishi Power Ltd. to build five new combined cycle generating units next to the existing Tung Hsiao Power Plant for Taiwan Power Company (Taipower), the state utility company. With 2,800 MW in installation capacity, the upgrade is expected to be completed by 2031. The project will meet the surging industrial power demand from the nearby Hsinchu Science Park and Taichung Science Park, as well as household power needs, while making contribution to the nation’s net zero goal.

MIAMI, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With a voice shaped by loss and lifted by faith, Jalil Lopez today announces the release of Metamorfosis, an intimate and genre-blending seven-track EP, plus a bonus track, that traces his path from heartbreak to healing. Slated for release on Friday, September 5th via RMG, Metamorfosis marks a new creative high for the Newark-born artist whose music bridges generations and genres, from classic Bachata to contemporary urban soul and hip hop.

“This project is a reflection of everything I’ve lived through, what nearly broke me, what and who brought me back, and how I’ve grown through it all,” says Lopez. “It’s my truth, and I hope it allows me to connect with my fans all around the world in unique ways.”

Metamorfosis is a transformative seven track EP (with a floor-shaking bonus track) featuring work from the likes of three-time Latin Grammy Nominated and 2024 Latin Grammy Winner, for Song of the Year, Andres Rios, Latin Grammy-nominated, Jorge Milano and Lil’ Genuiz, and four-time Latin Grammy Winner, Alejandro “Mosty” Patiño.

The EP blends the rich emotion of traditional Bachata with the grit and honesty of Lopez’s urban upbringing. His lyrics dig deep, exploring themes of grief, redemption, self-discovery, heartache, and joy, always underscored by a vulnerability that resonates with listeners the world over.

Building on the viral global success of his recent singles “No Vas a Encontrar” featuring RKM, “La Culpable,” and “Borracho y Loco,” Lopez is entering into a bold new chapter. Known for early hits like “Princesa Mía” and “Tu Primer Amor,” as well as genre-defying collaborations with artists like Rick Ross and DJ Khaled, he has always embraced evolution. But Metamorfosis marks a turning point. More than just a project, it represents an inflection point and transformation into the man he’s become.

Metamorfosis mirrors Lopez’s profound journey of transformation, one marked by resilience and renewed purpose. The EP captures the artist’s growth through both struggle and triumph, with every lyric and melody revealing a deeper layer of his story. Rooted in honesty and driven by passion, Lopez emerges stronger and more authentic than ever, delivering a bold new voice to the ever-evolving sound of Latin music.

Metamorfosis will be available on all major streaming platforms on Friday, September 5, 2025.

Report outlines Medline’s efforts to develop a sustainable and resilient healthcare supply chain

NORTHFIELD, Ill., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Medline today released its annual sustainability report. The report outlines the company’s progress on key sustainability topics in efforts to promote a sustainable and resilient healthcare supply chain that supports healthcare providers and the communities they serve.

“Sustainability is increasingly integrated into our operations and reflected in how we support our customers,” said Medline CEO Jim Boyle. “From our supply chain and logistics to our workforce and the communities we serve, we take a comprehensive approach as we seek to become a more resilient, responsible company.”

In 2024, Medline continued to implement a number of sustainability initiatives in support of its supply chain operations, to help expand renewable energy use and reduce packaging waste, as well as deepen its engagement in the communities where the company operates.

“Sustainability is a vital factor in achieving better health outcomes and building a more resilient healthcare system over time,” said Francesca Olivier, vice president of sustainability for Medline. “We remain dedicated to being a partner that anticipates challenges, embraces opportunities and seeks to create meaningful change for people and the planet.”

Highlights of the report include:

• Completed its first global climate risk assessment: Medline identified key climate risks and opportunities guided by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and through the use of qualitative scenario analysis. This assessment provides a framework for consistent evaluation to help establish a formal decarbonization strategy ahead. Going forward, Medline plans to conduct an annual climate risk assessment and will develop climate risk management procedures in alignment with its Enterprise Risk Management framework.

• Expanded its single-use devices reprocessing program: Medline’s ReNewal program is a cornerstone in helping healthcare providers advance their sustainability goals. The service restores devices to their original quality, functionality and sterility in accordance with strict FDA standards. In 2024, the team reprocessed more than 2.2 million medical devices through the program’s own facilities, and also in 2024, Medline added six new FDA 510(k)-cleared product categories to expand reuse across more clinical areas.

• Expanded its Tote-Cart Initiative, optimizing reusable shipping containers to help reduce waste and minimize environmental impact: As part of Medline’s commitment to reducing transportation-related emissions, Medline has a Tote-Cart Initiative to reduce this impact. By consolidating shipments and eliminating underutilized totes and carts, Medline reduces the number of trailers on the road, leading to less diesel fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The program also targets low-volume ship days and eliminates unnecessary delivery routes to help shrink the carbon footprint while maintaining service reliability.

• Achieved the Diamond-level Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC) Resiliency Badge for manufacturing: As a result of Medline’s relentless drive to create resiliency within the healthcare supply chain, the company achieved this badge. This was based on the company’s focus on demand planning, inventory management, logistics, supply chain visibility, supplier management, risk management and contingency, and operational health and market.

• Piloted a sustainable packaging solution: Medline is identifying opportunities to transition away from plastic air pillows in standard mixed supply boxes to help reduce plastic from customer shipments. In 2024, a pilot program was implemented at Medline’s Grayslake, Ill., distribution center with Ranpak, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, that specializes in 100% paper-based materials designed to replace plastic in protective packaging.

• Continued employee charitable volunteer efforts: Medline believes in investing in the communities where its employees live and work to help expand access to care for vulnerable populations. In 2024 in the U.S., employees provided more than 7,200 volunteer hours in support of more than 70 charities.

Pacific Surfliner and California Operation Lifesaver participate in September’s Rail Safety Month

ORANGE, Calif., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As California continues to have the highest number of rail-related fatalities in the United States due to highway-rail grade crossing and trespassing incidents*, Amtrak® Pacific Surfliner® is recognizing Rail Safety Month in September as a time to support safety in rail-adjacent communities.

In this effort, the Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) Rail Corridor Agency, which manages the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner service, is partnering with California Operation Lifesaver (CAOL), a non-profit entity that works year-round to spread awareness about the importance of safety around train tracks.

“Keeping people safe is an important priority for the Pacific Surfliner,” said Fred Jung, Chair of the LOSSAN Agency Board of Directors. “We are proud to partner with California Operation Lifesaver to raise awareness and provide information on staying safe near train tracks for our Southern California community.”

As the LOSSAN Corridor is the second busiest intercity rail corridor in the United States, supporting commuter, regional and intercity rail service collectively to 41 stations and nearly 4.5 million annual passengers (Amtrak, Coaster and Metrolink), the LOSSAN Agency continues to explore ways to inform riders and the public on how to stay safe.

Follow simple safety rules whenever around train tracks, including:

• Never walk on or along train tracks; it’s illegal and trespassing is highly dangerous.
• Cross train tracks only at designated pedestrian or roadway crossings and obey all warning signs and signals.
• Stay alert around tracks. Don’t do anything that would prevent you from hearing an approaching train, such as listening to headphones or talking on the phone.
• When boarding, remember to stay behind the marked safety line on the station platform and use handholds as you board.
• Report suspicious items, persons or activity immediately to the Amtrak Police Department by approaching a uniformed officer, calling (800) 331-0008, sending a text to APD11 (27311) or calling 911.

The partnership between the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency and CAOL will deliver rail safety advertisements across social media, websites and connected television platforms to people who live and travel near the corridor. Using location-based targeting informed by recent data on trespasser fatalities and near misses, the month-long campaign will run from September 1–30 and provide safety tips tailored to local audiences.

Additionally, the LOSSAN Agency is collaborating with officials in the Tri Counties (San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura) to post safety signage in high traffic areas and schools adjacent to the train tracks.

Digital tools are available at PacificSurfliner.com/RailSafety, including activities for kids, lesson plans for teachers and parents and downloadable presentations developed by Operation Lifesaver and CAOL, two non-profit entities that work year-round to promote rail safety.

*According to CAOL and the Federal Railroad Administration.
