GALWAY, Ireland, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Five years following the launch of its One Connected World corporate responsibility strategy, TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and sensors, has exceeded several of its goals to be more sustainable, safer and more inclusive.

The success of TE’s global effort, as detailed in the annual One Connected World report issued today, is the result of both global and local initiatives. Companywide, TE has exceeded its 2025 goal of sourcing 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 7%, an achievement attributable to site-level projects like the solar panel installation at a factory in Lamphun, Thailand. There, a 1.1-megawatt solar energy system installed across rooftops and carports generates 1.2 million kWh of electricity annually – approximately 15% of the site’s annual energy use – and reduces emissions by about 520 tons a year.

In Kurim, Czech Republic, TE optimized its molding operations, saving more than 150,000kWh in energy a year. This project contributed to the company doubling its energy savings over the prior year. And in Tangier, Morocco, a new HVAC system recovers condensate to create a new water source for other factory operations. 

Since launching the strategy, combined efforts of TE employees around the world have allowed the company to:

• Reduce the amount of hazardous waste disposed by 66% (beyond a goal of 15%)
• Reduce the amount of water withdrawn for targeted water-stressed sites by 22% (surpassing a goal of 15%)
• Improve worker safety with a Total Reportable Incident Rate of .06 (beating a goal of .12)

“Our global teams have made strong progress against our One Connected World strategy. As we move forward in our journey and set new goals around water and waste, we will continue to target greenhouse gas reductions across our own operations and in partnership with our suppliers,” said CEO Terrence Curtin. “When our teams focus on our purpose, we drive meaningful, lasting impact for our customers, our owners and our employees.”

Looking forward, the company continues to make progress toward its longer-term goals. It has reduced Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 17% since 2022 toward a 2032 goal of 30%. In the past year, TE doubled the amount of zero waste to landfill sites to 56 and has diverted 93% of its waste from landfills and incinerators, nearing its goal of 98%.

BEIJING, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly thirty leading global solar and energy media outlets recently visited JA Solar’s Yangzhou manufacturing and testing facilities for an exclusive, in–depth look at DeepBlue 5.0, the company’s next–generation flagship PV module. The visit marked JA Solar’s first system–level public reveal of the product’s R&D logic, manufacturing innovations, and real–world performance validation.

Speaking at the event, Sure Liu, President of Brand & Marketing at JA Solar, noted that the PV industry is shifting from “scale expansion” to “value creation.” He emphasized that new mainstream products must deliver greater customer value, not only higher performance parameters but also comprehensive gains in land use efficiency and project returns. Liu noted, “New mainstream PV products must start from value. Not only higher efficiency, but a full upgrade in customer capability.”

A System-Level Breakthrough Across Four Dimensions

DeepBlue 5.0 delivers a maximum power output of 670 W and conversion efficiency of 24.8%, enabled by an integrated set of innovations across wafers, cells, modules, materials, and processes. DeepBlue 5.0 achieves four major breakthroughs:

Area: A bezel–free full–screen design increases active generation area while offering a unified, aesthetic appearance.

Quality: A triangular dispersion layout combined with CSE structural enhancement improves load resistance, damp–heat reliability, and hot–spot performance.

Performance: Upgraded weak–light response, backside reflection, and multi–angle light utilization ensure higher energy yield in diverse conditions.

Scenarios: A dust–mitigation frame and full–scenario system solutions support stable value creation across commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

From Core Technology to Industrialization

During the media dialogue, Ouyang Zi, President of JA Solar’s Product & Solutions R&D Center, detailed the underlying technology stack enabling DeepBlue 5.0’s performance gains. The module integrates advances such as low–oxygen, high–lifetime wafers; Bycium+ 5.0 n–type passivated–contact cells with ~749 mV open–circuit voltage; and module–level innovations including PII interconnection, HDP high–density encapsulation, UTG optical optimization, and CSE structural reinforcement.

Real–World Validation at JA Solar’s Yangzhou Test Base

Media also toured JA Solar’s outdoor test base, which includes tracking systems, multiple ground reflectivity zones, and commercial/rooftop scenarios. Real–time data from the DeepBlue 5.0 test array showed significant per–watt energy–yield gains compared with reference systems, confirming the product’s advantages under real operating conditions.

Ouyang Zi noted, “From R&D innovation to field data, DeepBlue 5.0 demonstrates a complete, transparent innovation–to–value cycle. With its system–level breakthroughs and verified field performance, DeepBlue 5.0 sets a new benchmark for the industry’s transition from expansion to value–driven growth.”

HOUSTON, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In many people’s imagination, the roar of a power drill and the sparks of a welding torch are often associated with something rugged—and something male.

But the reality inside American homes tells a different story. According to the 2024 results of the American Time Use Survey by the U.S. Department of Labor, 87% of women spend time on household activities on an average day, including housework, lawn and garden care, vehicle maintenance and repair, and home maintenance, decoration, and renovation.

VEVOR has been collecting user stories and witnessing how its female users are empowered to do so. Step into VEVOR’s user community across the United States, and you’ll see that reality in action.

In Texas, a woman pressure-washes her patio with a gas-powered cold-water pressure washer. Wherever the stream passes, the brick and stone reveal their original clean texture. In a studio in Philadelphia, an airless paint sprayer gives a wall an entirely new color. In a garage in Seattle, a mechanical tool set has just helped her tighten and reinforce her child’s swing set.

From home renovation to car maintenance, from yard care to creative DIY projects—everywhere something needs to be built, repaired, or improved, you’ll find women working with focus, confidence and VEVOR solutions.

1. Giving Time Back to Life

During product development, VEVOR noticed an interesting pattern: many women give up on a project not because the work itself is difficult, but because the preparation and cleanup take too much time.

One user from Texas shared her story. She loves caring for her yard, but the most frustrating part of her routine was dealing with a hose that stretched dozens of feet across the garden. After watering the plants, she would spend nearly half an hour coiling it up, loop by loop, and dragging it back to the tool shed. In the heat of summer or the chill of winter, a weekend afternoon could easily slip away like that.

Later, she switched to a VEVOR retractable hose reel. With a gentle pull, the hose automatically retracts—finished in just a few seconds.

She said that afternoon she stood in the yard for quite a while, unsure what to do next. “I suddenly had an extra half hour,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do with it. So I just sat there and had a cup of coffee.”

From that day on, she began seeing her yard differently. She used a VEVOR pressure washer to clean the patio, trimmed dead branches with a gas-powered hedge trimmer, and cleared out a small corner of the yard to grow herbs. What once felt like routine maintenance slowly turned into something closer to creation.

This is the philosophy behind VEVOR’s design: giving back, piece by piece, the time that everyday tasks quietly take away.

2 Turning “I Can” Into an Everyday Reality

Another user lives in Philadelphia.

She enjoys browsing home design inspiration but had never actually renovated anything herself. Home improvement always felt like a “big project”—something that required a full weekend, perfect conditions, and careful preparation.

Until the day she used a VEVOR airless paint sprayer to paint her first wall.

At first, it was simply curiosity. She wanted to see how well the machine worked. She repainted one wall in her living room, and the entire process took less than two hours.

When it was finished, she stood there looking at the wall for a long time.

Not because it was perfect. But because an idea she had been putting off for two years had suddenly become real.

After that, things began to fall into place like dominoes. Every weekend she made a little more progress, and each small change sparked another idea.

Later, she shared a reflection in the community that resonated with many others:

“I used to wait for the perfect moment. Now I realize the perfect moment doesn’t arrive on its own—you create it with the right tools.”

Helping ideas come to life faster—that’s exactly what VEVOR hopes to make possible.

3. Powerful Tools, Made to Be Approachable

These two stories point to the same truth: When women pick up tools, what they need most isn’t courage—it’s tools that truly understand them. That’s exactly what VEVOR has been working toward over the past few years.

From backyards in Texas to garages in Seattle, the product team has followed hundreds of real user scenarios, documenting the moments when people hesitate while using tools:

Why can’t hose reels retract automatically?

Why can’t tool handles fit more naturally in smaller hands?

Why can’t equipment be lighter, so moving it around isn’t a barrier?

These observations are gradually being transformed into real design improvements. Each change points toward the same goal: making professional tools accessible to everyone.

Today, VEVOR’s product line covers more than 15,000 categories—from yard care to automotive repair, from home renovation to creative DIY. All of these tools serve the same purpose: to put the power of creation back into the hands of anyone who wants to build something of their own. This isn’t simply an extension of strength. It’s an expansion of choice.

VEVOR believes the power to create shouldn’t be limited by strength, space, or experience. It should belong to anyone with a vision for their home. To bring that belief to life, we’re opening our doors—literally. On March 9, join us at our first-ever global flagship store in Houston (10951 Farm to Market 1960 Road W). See, touch, and test the tools helping women across America redefine what’s possible in their own spaces. Discover pro-level performance without the pro-level price—and start creating the home you’ve always imagined. Your next project starts here.

SEOUL, South Korea, March 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eye Level announced the successful completion of the Eye Level Math Olympiad 2025 (ELMO 2025), its global math competition designed to inspire elementary and middle school students to challenge their mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Held throughout November 2025, ELMO 2025 took place across multiple countries and regions worldwide, with competitions hosted in schools, learning centers, and community venues. The event brought together students eager to test their skills in arithmetic, logical reasoning, and problem solving while experiencing the excitement of a global academic challenge.

A Global Platform for Mathematical Thinking

First launched in 2004, the Eye Level Math Olympiad has grown into a signature global event that encourages young learners to explore the power of mathematics beyond the classroom.

The competition is designed to assess students’ abilities across key areas including calculation, word problems, and logical reasoning. By presenting questions tailored to each grade level, the Olympiad offers students a meaningful opportunity to evaluate their strengths while building confidence in their learning journey.

In 2025, the Olympiad introduced further enhancements to enrich the learning experience. The test structure placed greater emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking, reflecting Eye Level’s educational philosophy that mathematics should develop reasoning and creativity, not just speed and memorization.

Participants also received detailed result reports designed to help students and parents better understand individual learning strengths, offering insights that support future academic growth.

Encouraging Every Student’s Challenge

Guided by the message “One Test. A Thousand Possibilities,” ELMO 2025 celebrated the spirit of challenge and discovery. The Olympiad emphasizes that every student who participates takes an important step toward building confidence, resilience, and curiosity in learning.

To commemorate this experience, all participants received a medal recognizing their effort and courage in taking on the challenge—turning the Olympiad into not only a competition, but also a memorable milestone in their academic journey.

Strengthening Eye Level’s Global Math Education Leadership

Through initiatives such as the Eye Level Math Olympiad, Eye Level continues to strengthen its role as a global education brand dedicated to developing strong mathematical foundations and critical thinking skills in young learners.

The official results of ELMO 2025 were announced in January 2026, with award ceremonies already held in several countries including the Philippines and Thailand. Additional ceremonies are scheduled across other participating countries in March, continuing the global celebration of students’ mathematical achievements.

International Women’s Day

RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico, March 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, we celebrate women whose visionary leadership creates lasting impact. María Dolores López Lira e Hinojo is among Mexico’s most influential tourism entrepreneurs, a founder who pioneered integrated destinations and elevated the country’s profile in global hospitality.

Alongside her husband, José Luis Martínez Alday, she launched Lomas Travel in 1981 with just a handful of vehicles and boasts a fleet of over 200, offering seamless airport transfers, curated tours, and comprehensive mobility services within a robust safety framework that serves every resort in her portfolio.

As her vision grew, she made a defining strategic decision: to separate from external hotel management and establish her own independent operating company, Lomas Hospitality. This empowered her to strengthen brand identity, enhance operational control, and drive sustained growth, positioning Grupo Lomas as a fully integrated tourism leader.

Lomas Hospitality operates eight properties across distinct destinations, with more than 2,000 rooms and the support of over 5,000 families.

Maroma | Riviera Maya
Hotel El Dorado Maroma
Hotel Palafitos Overwater Bungalows, the only overwater bungalows in the Mexican Caribbean

El Dorado | Riviera Maya
Hotel El Dorado Royale
Hotel El Dorado Casitas Royale
Hotel Generations Riviera Maya

Seaside | Riviera Maya

Hotel El Dorado Seaside Palms
Hotel Hidden Beach Au Naturel Resort

Grupo Lomas’ portfolio also includes Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya and El Cielo in Valle de Guadalupe, as well as experiences such as Aqua Nick Water Park, Maroma Beach, and Rancho Bonanza.

In Baja California’s wine country, she extended her hospitality philosophy to create a destination rooted in viticulture, gastronomy, and landscape-inspired design.

Through Fundación Lomas, she advances education by providing scholarships and creating opportunities.

María Dolores López Lira leads with independence, strategic clarity, and national pride. On International Women’s Day, her journey reflects the strength of a woman who transformed vision into destinations and dreams into opportunity. Today, that legacy evolves alongside her daughter, Sammantha Frachey, Executive Vice President of Grupo Lomas, whose leadership in innovative projects and strategic partnerships drives the Group’s continued growth and diversification. Together, two women lead Grupo Lomas, uniting experience and new vision, legacy and momentum, shaping the future of Mexican hospitality with purpose, determination, and heart.

BOONE, N.C., March 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ –Today, Samaritan’s Purse is responding to Three Rivers, Michigan and the surrounding communities after a powerful storm unleashed a deadly tornado late Friday afternoon. The tornado wreaked havoc on multiple towns—devastating numerous homes and business. Tragically, at least four lives were lost and a dozen more injured, marking the deadliest tornado to hit Michigan in nearly 50 years.

“Families are reeling from this unexpectedly destructive tornado that ripped through southwest Michigan on Friday.

Volunteers from across the country will clear debris, remove downed trees, and secure tarps on damaged roofs while reminding families that God has not forgotten them—even in this difficult circumstance.
