“The collaboration between S2C and Andes marks a significant step forward for the RISC-V community, offering advanced SoC developers a powerful and cost-effective FPGA-based prototyping solution,” said Ying J Chen, Vice President of S2C. “Our Prodigy S8-100 platform uniquely addresses the evolving complexity of RISC-V-based designs, helping developers validate their innovations early and confidently accelerate time-to-market.”

Emerson Hsiao, President of Andes Technology USA, stated: “Andes continues to drive innovation in high-performance RISC-V cores tailored to AI, automotive, and high-performance computing, and many of our customers further differentiate by adding their own extensions with our ACE framework. Partnering with S2C provides our customers with the critical advantage of robust, large-capacity FPGA-based prototyping, allowing them to prove-out their customizations early, ultimately accelerating their time-to-market with Andes-based RISC-V SoCs.”

“Designed for emulation and prototyping, the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC is uniquely positioned to address cutting-edge development challenges,” said Mike Rather, senior product line manager, AMD. “As the industry’s largest FPGA-based adaptive SoC, the Versal VP1902 adaptive SoC empowers engineers to push the boundaries of technology, offering high performance, scalability, and connectivity in a single device. With its advanced emulation and prototyping capabilities, it is a catalyst for groundbreaking innovations in next-generation semiconductor innovation.”

Dongying builds future of harmony at Yellow River’s end

DONGYING, China, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

Situated at the northern tip of Bohai Bay, Dongying in East China’s Shandong province stands at the confluence of the Yellow River and the sea — a region shaped by nature and defined by transformation.

Over the years, the city has embraced development that harmonizes economic progress with ecological preservation.

As a land reclaimed from the sea, much of the Yellow River Delta is young, with saline soils and vulnerable ecosystems.

However, ongoing water regulation efforts, including 25 consecutive years of uninterrupted Yellow River flow, have significantly improved soil quality and revitalized the region’s ecological environment.

Focused wetland protection and restoration initiatives have enhanced biodiversity and strengthened the area’s ecological resilience. The Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve now supports a thriving habitat of 685 seed plant species and 1,633 wildlife species. Bird populations alone have nearly doubled since the early 1990s.

Dongying’s ecological vision reaches well beyond the delta. A growing network of urban parks — 316 in total — has transformed the city’s landscape.

With green spaces accessible within 300 meters and parks within 500 meters, Dongying offers its residents a living environment where nature is close at hand and carefully integrated into urban life.

The city also exemplifies how industry and ecology can coexist.

At Guangli River Forest Wetland Park, oil extraction continues beneath a prudently preserved green canopy. Despite ongoing work, the area maintains high ecological value and is open to the public for recreation and education.

Offshore, Dongying is investing in clean energy for the future. In November 2024, the first phase of a 1-GW offshore photovoltaic power project was connected to the grid. Once fully operational, the facility will generate approximately 1,800 GWh of electricity annually — equivalent to saving over 500,000 metric tons of standard coal.

In 2024, Dongying achieved 6.5 percent GDP growth, with a 9.5-percent increase in industrial output.

More than 300 industrial upgrade projects were launched, while marine economic output is projected to reach 120 billion yuan ($16.47 billion). Emerging sectors such as offshore wind power, lithium materials, advanced manufacturing, and biomedicine are thriving, positioning Dongying as a key hub for green innovation.

From wetland restoration to renewable energy, Dongying is building a sustainable future — where rivers meet the sea and growth meets responsibility.

TWOPAGES Launches Spring-Summer Curtain Refresh Guide Blending Functionality and Aesthetics

SPOKANE, Wash., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As spring turns into summer, home refresh projects are once again top of mind. In response to seasonal shifts and the desire for a livelier, more comfortable home, TWOPAGES Curtains, a provider of high-quality, stylish custom window treatments, has introduced its Spring-Summer Curtain Refresh Guide, centered around the concept of “Function with Aesthetics.” The guide encourages homeowners to embrace the seasonal transition with curated curtain styles that prioritize both design appeal and practical performance.

The arrival of warmer months presents the perfect moment to update home interiors. Among the easiest and most impactful upgrades is replacing curtains. “Often underestimated, curtains play a crucial role in shaping the mood and functionality of a space. They filter natural light, balance color tones, and help regulate room temperature, making them a subtle yet powerful element in home design. With thoughtful choices, curtains can help maintain a sense of comfort and charm through every seasonal change,” said Ray Chen, CEO of TWOPAGES.

Style Meets Substance: A Refresh Guide for Modern Living

The Spring-Summer Curtain Refresh Guide by TWOPAGES explores two key directions for seasonal home updates: “Print Play × Natural Texture” and “Let It Breathe × Function with Flair.” Each theme highlights curated curtain selections designed to suit a variety of living spaces and design preferences, while addressing practical needs such as breathability, light control, and atmosphere enhancement.

Print Play × Natural Texture celebrates the spirit of spring through natural elements and artistic detailing. Light floral print collections like the Holly Floral Pattern, Sara Le Print infuse interiors with a soft countryside charm, ideal for creating serene, pastoral aesthetics in bedrooms or living areas. Subtle touches, such as 64 Trim Border Tapes, add visual layering and a tailored feel without overwhelming the space. For those seeking a grounded, organic atmosphere, linen and cotton fabrics, represented by the Patti Premium Belgian Linen Flax Curtain, Liz Linen Drape, and Jawara Luxury Linen Cotton Curtain, offer a natural texture that elevates tactile comfort and allows the space to “breathe.”

Let It Breathe × Function with Flair focuses on the blend of style and real-life functionality, particularly important for high-use areas such as kitchens, balconies, and living rooms. Blackout solutions such as the Lila Blackout Drape offer complete light-blocking capabilities, creating an ideal environment for mid-day rest or focused work sessions. Sheer curtain options such as Flynn Airy Lightweight Sheer Curtain, Joy 100% Linen Sheer Curtain, and Florida Embossed White Semi Sheer Curtain allow air to circulate freely while maintaining a degree of privacy, essential for open spaces that prioritize comfort. Hand-woven bamboo shades, with their natural materials and adjustable light filtering, provide a lightweight and breathable option that helps maintain coolness and light control during the height of summer.

Whether it is the cheerful feel of printed florals, the serene vibe of breathable sheers, or the textural richness of natural fabrics, TWOPAGES’ curated selections invite users to find harmony between design and everyday use.

An Invitation to Celebrate at Home

TWOPAGES encourages families to express love and care by creating more comfortable home environments, starting with window treatments that transform daily rituals, starting with the heart of the home. A thoughtful curtain refresh can serve as both a visual transformation and a symbol of affection, especially for family members who love spending time in the kitchen or cozying up in the living room.

These units provided vital lighting, communication, and medical support to affected residents, demonstrating the company’s ability to respond swiftly to humanitarian crises with scalable clean energy solutions.

In collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Jackery also supports the conservation of the endangered black-footed ferret in North America. By supplying portable, noise-free energy systems, the company enables scientists to conduct field research and species monitoring in remote habitats, reinforcing its long-term investment in biodiversity protection.

As part of its broader ecological commitment, Jackery has joined hands with environmental organizations across three continents. In the United States, the company works with the National Forest Foundation to plant 10,000 trees. In Germany, it contributes to permanent forest conservation efforts. In Japan, it is involved in regional reforestation initiatives aimed at restoring native ecosystems.

With green technology as its foundation and social responsibility as its compass, Jackery is carving a clear path toward sustainable development. As of the end of 2024, Jackery’s solar panel products have contributed to significant energy savings, generating approximately 1.07 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. This has led to a reduction in carbon emissions by 1.069 million tons, an impact equivalent to planting 725,000 trees.

This brand has participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference for two consecutive years, and earned significant recognition for its sustainability efforts by winning the internationally renowned SEAL Awards for three consecutive years. Additionally, it was named among the “Top 50 Forbes ESG Innovation Enterprises 2023”.
