Experience Big Bore Power at Big Horn Armory's Range Day
Tue, Mar 17, 2026 13:06 EDT
Free, hands-on range time of BHA's big-bore tactical firearms and W.T.F.'s Barron Suppressor will take place in Casper, Wyoming, on March 21, 2026. Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, will host a public Range Day on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Wyoming Gun Company , in Casper, Wyoming, offering attendees a hands-on opportunity to experience some of the most powerful and innovative firearms on the market, including the Model 89 and the new CAT 5 , both chambered in .500 S&W Magnum, and the AR500 Next Gen platform featuring several new colors. In addition to range time, attendees can enter BHA's $500 Manufacturer Rebate Drawing, open to all event participants. Following the Range Day, BHA will attend the Dallas Safari Club of Wyoming Gala in Casper, Wyoming, from 4:30 p.m. to midnight. BHA representatives will be present to connect with attendees and celebrate Wyoming's wildlife and hunting culture. "The Range Day will give people a real, hands-on understanding of what our firearms can do," said Greg Buchel, owner of Big Horn Armory. "There's no substitute for pulling the trigger yourself - especially when you're talking about platforms like the Model 89, the AR500 NEXT GEN, and the new Cat 5. Pairing that with suppressed shooting really changes the experience and shows just how versatile these rifles can be." Attendees will get an early look at new Cerakote® color offerings on the AR500 NEXT GEN platform, including Burnt Bronze, Desert Tan, and OD Green. BHA will also showcase its newest tactical lever-action offering, the CAT 5, chambered in .500 S&W Magnum. Developed in direct response to strong internal demand and customer requests, the CAT 5 delivers a more tactical configuration without sacrificing the raw performance that defines Big Horn Armory rifles. The CAT 5 evolves the traditional lever gun through a comprehensive collaboration with Ranger Point Tactical, integrating a purpose-built fore-end and Picatinny-style scout rail system for enhanced mounting capability and modular adaptability. This configuration enables shooters to easily mount optics and accessories, transforming the lever gun into a contemporary, mission-ready platform. With a six-round capacity, 1:24 twist rate, and weighing approximately 7 lbs. 12 oz. with an overall length of 36 inches, the CAT 5 is compact, powerful, and built for decisive performance. The Range Day will offer attendees an opportunity to shoot and explore BHA's platforms in both suppressed and non-suppressed configurations. All suppressed shooting experiences will feature the Wyoming Tactical Firearms Barron Suppressor . The Barron is engineered for non-BMG .50 caliber cartridges, including .45-70 Government, .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, .500 S&W Magnum, and .500 Auto Max. The fully welded suppressor features a universal 1.375"-24 TPI (HUB) thread pattern and includes one direct thread adapter. Measuring 9.9 inches in length with a 1.825-inch diameter, the Barron weighs 21 ounces in stainless steel and 16 ounces in titanium. When paired with a 16-inch BHA Model 89 chambered in .500 S&W Magnum firing 500 S&W subsonic ammunition, the Barron has metered at 112.29 dB at the shooter's ear. The suppressor is finished in V-Series Cerakote for durability in demanding field conditions. For more information about Wyoming Gun Company, visit https://wyogun.com .

From Atlantic Waters to Winter Wellness: How Traditional Irish Practices Hold the Key to Modern Health
Tue, Mar 17, 2026 07:17 EDT
Long before wellness trends and supplement aisles existed, coastal communities in Ireland relied on the sea for nourishment and resilience. Irish Sea Moss, harvested from rocky Atlantic shorelines, has been part of that relationship for generations - valued not as a cure-all but as a dependable source of nutrition during colder, harsher months. Today, this same sea moss more relevant than ever as people seek out foods rooted in tradition rather than laboratory formulations, closer to home and without passing on the cost on the environment. Irish Sea Moss, scientifically known as Chondrus crispus , grows slowly in cold, mineral-rich Atlantic waters. This environment allows it to absorb and retain a broad spectrum of trace elements, resulting in a notably nutrient-dense profile. Independent laboratory analysis shows it delivers healthy levels of iodine, zinc, iron, magnesium and vitamins A and C. These nutrients support immunity, energy production and thyroid function - all of which are particularly relevant during winter when illness and fatigue are more common. In a market dominated by biohacking and synthetic solutions, its simplicity stands out. It requires no processing beyond careful cleaning and preparation, and it can be consumed in multiple forms depending on lifestyle and preference. What distinguishes traditional harvesting from industrial sourcing is timing and selectivity. The Moss Way works with small-scale harvesters along Ireland's west coast; sea moss is collected only when it is in season, and only a portion is taken from each area, allowing it to regenerate naturally. This approach protects marine ecosystems while preserving the integrity of the seaweed itself. For The Moss Way, this heritage matters as much as the final product. "There's a reason these practices have survived for centuries," says founder Harry Morgan. "They're sustainable, they're respectful, and they produce a food that genuinely supports health. We're not trying to reinvent sea moss: we're simply bringing it back into modern routines." Irish Sea Moss offers a reminder that wellbeing does not always come from innovation: sometimes, it comes from listening to what sustained people long before modern wellness fads existed and allowing those traditions to inform how health is approached today.

Conversational AI is reshaping travel booking as operators tackle friction, disruption and complex trip planning
Tue, Mar 17, 2026 06:21 EDT
Conversational AI is transforming how travellers plan and book journeys, as travel providers look to reduce friction, improve resilience and support increasingly complex customer needs, according to a new industry analysis from Firney. The £4 Trillion Conversation highlights a growing shift away from traditional search and filter-based booking journeys toward conversational interfaces that allow travellers to ask questions, compare options and complete bookings in a single interaction. Rather than navigating multiple pages and filters, travellers are increasingly seeking natural-language interactions such as route availability, pet travel requirements or multi-leg itinerary planning. These are queries that traditional booking interfaces often struggle to handle efficiently. The analysis highlights examples from the travel sector where conversational systems enable customers to book ferry crossings, ask journey-specific questions and receive contextual guidance without restarting their search journey. This shift comes as travel providers face rising customer expectations shaped by real-time digital experiences, alongside operational pressures to manage disruption, reduce service costs and maintain customer confidence. Marc Firth, CEO and co-founder of Firney, said travel planning represents one of the most complex consumer decision journeys. "Travel decisions are rarely simple," he said. "Customers are coordinating schedules, routes, luggage, pets, weather conditions and disruptions. Conversational AI allows providers to interpret intent and guide travellers through decisions in a single thread, rather than forcing them through fragmented booking journeys." The report points to a broader industry move toward AI-assisted travel planning and disruption management. Conversational systems are increasingly able to rebook journeys, surface alternative routes and provide real-time guidance when plans change, improving both customer experience and operational efficiency. Behavioural shifts are also influencing travel discovery. Younger travellers are increasingly using conversational and visual interfaces rather than keyword search, expecting immediate answers and personalised recommendations when planning trips. However, adoption remains nuanced. While travellers are comfortable using AI for tasks such as comparing routes or checking prices, trust declines when systems act autonomously without oversight, suggesting transparency and clear confirmation steps remain essential in travel booking environments. Firney concludes that conversational AI is moving from novelty to necessity in travel, particularly as providers seek to improve booking completion rates, reduce customer support demand and build resilience during disruption. "Travel brands are under pressure to simplify complex journeys while maintaining trust," added Firth. "Conversational interfaces reduce friction, improve confidence and help travellers make decisions faster, which ultimately strengthens booking conversion and customer loyalty."

Tightened inorganic pollutant rules reshape seafood safety requirements in the EU
Tue, Mar 17, 2026 06:16 EDT
Baar (March 17, 2025) - SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a new expert feature article examining seafood safety risk linked to inorganic arsenic (I-As) and other heavy metals, and outlining the EU's latest regulatory response. Concentrations of I-As associated with industrial activity have increased in recent years, contributing to pollution in estuaries and coastal waters and adding to existing background levels of naturally occurring heavy metals. As a result, contamination of fish and seafood has become an increasingly important issue for both environmental protection and consumer safety. The SGS article analyses the sources of I-As and the regulatory framework governing its control, highlighting the introduction of new maximum levels for fish and other seafood under EU Commission Regulation 2025/1891. These measures reinforce existing legislation and represent a significant tightening of EU food safety requirements, with direct compliance implications for seafood operators supplying the EU market. The article also examines the growing regulatory focus on other hazardous heavy metals, including mercury, lead and cadmium, drawing on notifications reported through the EU's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF). In addition, applicable maximum limits established by major global regulatory authorities are reviewed to provide a broader international context. With enforcement and monitoring intensifying, reliable analytical methodologies are essential for accurately determining contamination levels in seafood. The article outlines SGS's comprehensive testing capabilities, supporting seafood businesses in meeting evolving regulatory requirements, managing compliance risks and maintaining access to key international markets. Stakeholders involved in the global seafood industry are encouraged to read the full article .

Trent Rockets to wear the Swoosh as KitKing Brings Global Brand to The Hundred Team
Tue, Mar 17, 2026 06:14 EDT
Loughborough-based teamwear specialist KitKing is bringing Nike to Trent Rockets, with the local team set to wear the iconic swoosh in The Hundred under a new multi-year partnership. The agreement places Nike branding on both the men's and women's playing kits for 2026 and beyond, launched just in time for the Rockets to prepare for the exciting upcoming season. Nike is set to provide matchday and training kits for the Rockets, with the team's bold yellow and red colours now carrying the instantly recognisable swoosh design for which the brand is famous. The new strip will be unveiled ahead of this summer's tournament, with supporters able to purchase their own shirts from Trent Bridge retail stores. "With their richly deserved reputation as one of the world's most prestigious sports brands, it feels entirely fitting for Trent Rockets to be wearing the Nike Swoosh as we look to take the team to the next level this summer," said Lisa Pursehouse, Chief Executive of Trent Rockets. "The sea of yellow and red in the stands at Rockets home games has been really striking ever since The Hundred began, and we're looking forward to unveiling the evolution of those unmistakable Rockets colours." Dips Patel, CEO of KitKing, feels the partnership reflects both the ambition of the Rockets franchise and the strength of the sporting community across the East Midlands. "Trent Rockets have built a fantastic identity since The Hundred began, and bringing Nike into that story is a big step forward for the team", he says. "With KitKing being based in Leicestershire, this is particularly special for us. We're proud to work with clubs across the UK and internationally but helping to connect a global brand with a team in our own East Midlands region is something we couldn't be more thrilled about." KitKing's role in bringing Nike to the Rockets underlines the significant yet often overlooked contribution regional businesses continue to make in top-level sport. From its base in Loughborough, the company works with clubs and national governing bodies across a range of sports, helping major clubs partner up with prolific global brands while maintaining strong ties to their local sporting grassroots communities. The Hundred has quickly become one of the most visible competitions in world cricket, attracting international stars and drawing packed crowds to venues around the country each summer. As the Rockets gear up for the 2026 season - with the first double header scheduled for 21 July, and the final set for 16 August - the arrival of the familiar Nike logo reflects the continued momentum of Trent Rockets and their ambitions both on and off the field.

Forestry England Choose Off-Road Mobility Scooters To Make Wendover Woods Accessible for All
Mon, Mar 16, 2026 12:07 EDT
Wendover Woods near Aylesbury, managed by Forestry England, is now accessible to elderly and disabled visitors thanks to the purchase of mobility scooters that can be driven offroad. Video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41amTv4XCYQ As the highest point in the Chiltern Hills, Wendover Woods covers around 370 hectares and includes many picturesque trails to explore. However, if people find walking difficult then these routes are not accessible without a mobility product such as a scooter or wheelchair. Forestry England is focused on accessibility and enablement nationally which has led to the team at Wendover Woods acquiring two green 'TGA Breeze X' mobility scooters. These robust scooters are now free to hire from the forest's Information Point and can be booked online. The forest is managed by a team of eight staff that includes Luke Buhagiar, Active Forest Coordinator. Luke is passionate about the Great Outdoors and is fully behind these new scooters: "I feel everyone should be able to enjoy the woods, no matter what their mobility is like. The team and I understand how important nature is for everyone's well-being. Personally, I'm a firm believer in the importance of being outside and spending time amongst nature. We are really pleased with our scooters and think they are going to open up the forest to lots more people." Wendover Woods is a hilly forest so the new scooters have been tested to check they can cope with the sloped terrain. Luke continues: "We want visitors to branch out onto our hill fort trail which is our heritage route but is not accessible if you find walking hard. I tested a Breeze on this trail which is quite challenging and the scooter handled it fine. This was a big thing for us as we needed to check that they could get over gnarly roots and flint whilst still remaining stable for the rider." So all-in-all the Forestry England team at Wendover Woods could not be happier with their mobility scooters. To sum up Luke says: "I'm so passionate about nature, that's why I do this job. Everyone should be able to get outside and just enjoy the fresh air, wildlife, walking around, whether that's on your own or with others; it all has amazing benefits. I know it's hard for some people who aren't as mobile to get out or might struggle with the idea of visiting a forest. Having these scooters completely changes that and gives people confidence; they empower everyone to enjoy what we can offer." --- Special Event in 2026 Luke organises many activities from running events and walks to forest yoga and local craft fairs. Next year, he and the team at Wendover are planning a walking event for people with Parkinson's and those who help them. Supported by Parkinson's UK, they are hoping to welcome around 500 people, in September, to enjoy a 2 or 6-mile walk in aid of the charity. TGA have partnered with Parkinson's UK for many years so will also be involved in making the event a success. TGA is the charity's only approved supplier of mobility scooters. It provides a discount to all people with the condition, and every sale generates a donation back to Parkinson's UK from TGA.

Manning Family Children's awarded prestigious Vermont Oxford Network Excellence Award in Quality Improvement for optimizing neurodevelopment in infants
Thu, Mar 12, 2026 15:06 EDT
Manning Family Children's has been honored with the Vermont Oxford Network (VON) Award for Excellence in Quality Improvement, a distinguished national recognition that celebrates hospitals that demonstrate measurable, data-driven improvements in neonatal care. The award recognizes Manning Family Children's neonatology team for its innovative work to optimize neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by reducing sleep disruption in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Through structured quality improvement methods, multidisciplinary collaboration, and family partnership, the expert team at Manning Family Children's implemented practice changes that produced meaningful, measurable results for some of the hospital's most medically fragile patients. "This award represents far more than recognition," said Dr. Christy Mumphrey, Service Line Chief for Neonatology at Manning Family Children's. "It reflects our unwavering commitment to improving outcomes for the tiniest and most vulnerable babies in our care. Offering the highest level of neonatal care in the state, every improvement we make translates directly into better healing environments, stronger development, and brighter futures for our babies." About the Award-Winning Project: The project recognized by the Vermont Oxford Network focused on improving care for infants with BPD, a serious lung condition that primarily affects premature babies. These infants often require prolonged stays in the NICU and are especially vulnerable to developmental challenges. The team at Manning Family Children's identified that frequent disruptions in the NICU environment, including routine caregiving activities, noise, and handling, were interfering with restorative sleep that is critical for brain growth and healing. Using a structured, improvement approach, the multidisciplinary team redesigned aspects of daily care to better protect infant sleep while still meeting complex medical needs. This included evaluating when and how care activities were clustered, reducing unnecessary disturbances, increasing staff awareness around sleep protection, and closely measuring outcomes to ensure changes were effective. The team tracked data over time to confirm that improvements were meaningful and sustainable. The result was measurable improvement in care practices that support healthier neurodevelopment for medically fragile newborns. Rather than focusing only on survival or respiratory stability, the project emphasized long-term brain development and overall quality of life - reflecting a modern, forward-thinking approach to neonatal care. What This Means for Patients and Families: Being selected for the VON Award for Excellence in Quality Improvement reflects meaningful benefits for the infants and families served in the NICU at Manning Family Children's - which is the only neonatal ICU in Louisiana with every medical and surgical specialty under one roof. "The VON Excellence Award recognizes our ongoing commitment to deliver expert neonatal care with the highest level of safety and quality," said Lucio A. Fragoso, President and CEO at Manning Family Children's. "With plans announced just last week to construct a new, state-of-the-art expanded 60-bed NICU at our main campus, the VON Excellence Award in Quality Improvement is a powerful example of how Manning Family Children's is working to make Louisiana a national leader in child health and wellbeing, starting with our most fragile and critically ill infants," Fragoso added. Recognition by the VON places Manning Family Children's among leading neonatal centers nationwide, highlighting the hospital's committed to continuous improvement, the highest standard of care and a culture of collaboration among its physicians, nurses, therapists, and families. "The involvement of family partners on our team is critical to our success," said Dr. Julie Gallois, Director of Quality for Neonatology at Manning Family Children's. "A family-centered quality improvement model is built on the idea that families are essential members of the care team, especially in the NICU. Their involvement helps ensure that improvement projects reflect what matters most to patients and families." For more than 70 years, Manning Family Children's has proudly served as Louisiana's only, freestanding, comprehensive children's hospital with more than 600 pediatric-trained providers and 3,000 employees solely dedicated to the care of kids. In addition to comprehensive services offered at its main campus in New Orleans, Children's operates a robust network of more than 30 satellite locations, pediatric affiliations across Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and robust and long-community programs designed to meet the health needs of the diverse communities it serves. At the heart of its mission, Manning Family Children's is committed to delivering expert care for every child, every time - regardless of the family's ability to pay.
