The collaboration unites two brands built on global connectivity, trust, and community. As one of Major League Soccer’s most internationally recognized clubs, LAFC embodies the diverse, global culture of Los Angeles—an identity that closely aligns with WireBarley’s mission to make cross-border money transfers more accessible, transparent, and reliable for people around the world.

WireBarley specializes in connecting customers across Asia-Pacific markets—including Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong SAR, and Vietnam—with North America. Now through its LAFC partnership, the company aims to build stronger connections with Asian American communities in the U.S. while gaining visibility among the team’s globally connected fans.

As part of the partnership, WireBarley will receive marketing rights within Los Angeles and designated international territories, along with digital and social integrations designed to engage fans through compelling content, sweepstakes, and matchday experiences.

“We are extremely excited to partner with WireBarley given their focus on connecting people from various countries and spanning different cultures,” said LAFC Co-President Larry Freedman. “Playing in Los Angeles, a city that serves as one of the most globally connected cities in the world, this was a natural fit as we seek to reflect the identity of our fanbase.”

The partnership further strengthens LAFC’s growing portfolio of international and technology-driven partners, reinforcing the club’s position at the intersection of sport, culture, and global community. 

“We are honored to partner with LAFC, a club renowned for its excellence and dedication to fans,” John Joongwon Yoo, CEO and Co-founder of WireBarley. “This partnership extends beyond the pitch to connect communities and create meaningful experiences. It will bring fans in Los Angeles and our global customers in countries including Korea, Australia, and beyond closer to LAFC through engaging matchday and interactive online experiences that celebrate the club’s spirit and passion.”

WireBarley provides international remittance services across 46 countries, with operations in seven key markets: Korea, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong SAR (temporarily suspended). The company has recorded over 2.2 million app downloads and 1.1 million registered users worldwide, establishing itself as a leading digital remittance platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

How to Choose the Right Oxygen Concentrator in 2026: A Look at VARON’s Latest Lineup

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As oxygen support technology continues to advance, choosing the right oxygen concentrator in 2026 is no longer about selecting a single “best” model—it’s about identifying the right solution for daily routines, mobility needs, and oxygen delivery requirements.

With users increasingly balancing home use, outdoor activity, and travel, VARON’s latest lineup reflects a structured approach, helping users clearly distinguish between portable performance, consistent home supply, and supportive daily-use solutions.

Key Buying Factors for Oxygen Concentrators in 2026

Before choosing a model, users should consider three main factors:

1. Home Use vs. On-the-Go
Home oxygen concentrators provide stable, continuous oxygen with quiet operation for long daily use. Portable oxygen concentrators focus on mobility, battery life, and lightweight design, supporting activity outside the home.

2. Continuous Flow vs. Pulse Flow
Continuous flow delivers oxygen steadily, ideal for consistent daily needs. Pulse flow delivers oxygen in bursts during inhalation, allowing smaller, lighter designs with longer battery life—perfect for short outings or travel.

3. Output Range and Flexibility
Adjustable flow settings provide flexibility, but users should check how consistently oxygen concentration is maintained across settings on different models, especially for extended use.

Start with Mobility: Portable Oxygen Concentrators in 2026

For many users, portability has become a primary consideration. Modern portable oxygen concentrators must strike a careful balance between oxygen delivery strength, battery performance, and ease of movement.

VP-8G vs. VP-8 Lite — Performance & Portability 

VP-8G and VP-8 Lite portable oxygen concentrators are built on the same advanced platform, sharing size, weight, and core features. The key difference is performance versus endurance.

As VARON’s flagship portable model, VP-8G portable oxygen concentrator delivers higher oxygen output with up to 8 pulse settings and clinical-grade 93% ±3% oxygen, all within a compact, lightweight body of 4.37 lbs—ideal for users with higher oxygen demands or more intensive daily activity.

By contrast, the VP-8 Lite small portable oxygen concentrator trades peak performance for longer battery life and affordability, making it well suited for users with moderate oxygen needs who value everyday mobility and extended usage.

VP-6 — Continuous Flow Portability for All-Day Use

The VP-6 oxygen concentrator is a continuous portable oxygen concentrator designed for users who require steady oxygen delivery beyond the home. Bridging the gap between stationary systems and portable pulse devices, it is ideal for all-day use, especially for users who prefer continuous flow.

VP-1 & VP-2 — Practical Pulse Flow Options for Everyday Mobility

The VP-1 and VP-2 portable oxygen concentrators represent standard, well-rounded portable options, providing reliable pulse flow support for users with moderate oxygen needs. The VP-2 portable oxygen concentrator offers smart pulse delivery and a long-lasting, replaceable battery. While the VP-1 portable oxygen concentrator is a budget-friendly entry-level option, ideal for shorter outings or occasional use. Together, they deliver easy-to-use, dependable solutions for everyday portable oxygen needs.

The Portable Series allows users to select a model based on activity level, oxygen demand, and portability expectations, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Home & Stationary Oxygen Solutions

For users whose oxygen needs are primarily home-based—especially those requiring higher stability and extended daily operation—VARON offers a dedicated group of stationary oxygen solutions.

Serene 5 & Serene 3 — Clinical-Grade Oxygen Supply for Home Use

The Serene Series delivers clinical-grade, continuous oxygen for users who rely on a stable and consistent supply throughout the day. Features such as caster wheels, humidification support, and low-noise operation make these models well suited for comfortable, care-free daily use.

Serene 5 stationary oxygen concentrator supports higher-capacity needs, delivering up to 5 LPM of 93% ±3% oxygen

Serene 3 stationary oxygen concentrator offers a lower-flow alternative while maintaining clinical-grade concentration at 1–3 LPM

VH Series — Supportive Oxygen for Moderate Daily Use

The VH Series (VH-1 through VH-4) supports users with milder daily oxygen needs, focusing on ease of use rather than maximum output:

VH-1 to VH-3 home oxygen concentrator provide straightforward continuous flow support for daily routines. VH-4 home oxygen concentrator , the latest model in the series, introduces wheel-assisted mobility, improving convenience for indoor movement

Positioned alongside the standard VH series models, the VH-2 Pro Wheel Edition home oxygen concentrator features enhanced performance with in-home mobility, making it a go-to choice for users with mild to moderate oxygen needs who want added convenience.

Ultra Lightweight & Travel-Focused Options

Designed for users with mild oxygen needs, VARON’s Light Series (VL-1 and VL-2) are lightweight portable oxygen concentrator that offers compact, easy-to-carry solutions with simple operation, perfect for short outings. For users who frequently travel by car, the VT-1 Travel Oxygen Concentrator offers dual-mode operation (continuous & pulse) and multiple power options, ensuring uninterrupted oxygen supply at home, in the vehicle, or on the go.

Oxygen Concentrator Accessories for Long-Term Support

VARON’s lineup is supported by a full range of accessories and replacement parts, including nasal cannulas, filters, batteries, and carrying bags. This ecosystem ensures long-term usability and easier maintenance across both home and portable oxygen concentrators.

VARON’s Commitment in 2026

In 2026, VARON continues to focus on clarity, reliability, and long-term user support. By offering a clearly structured lineup—from high-performance portable devices to clinical-grade home systems—the company helps users make confident, informed choices that support everyday life.

TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd. Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

BEIJING, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: TIRX) (the “Company” or “TRX”) today announced that it had received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on January 20, 2026, indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). This determination was based on the fact that the bid price of the Company’s listed securities had closed at less than $1 per share over the prior 30 consecutive business days.

Pursuant to the Notice, normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period specified in Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period. As a result, the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on January 22, 2026, to appeal the Notice and to address compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. This hearing request has stayed the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. Consequently, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market while the appeal process is pending.

On January 22, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company that the hearing is scheduled to be held on February 17, 2025. The Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance to the Panel. However, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or any other Nasdaq listing standards, that Nasdaq will grant the Company any extension of time to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, or that any such appeal to the Panel will be successful, as applicable.

PARIS and TOKYO, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At today’s Wireless Global Congress (WGC) APAC 2026, Airties, a global leader of AI-driven software that improves the connectivity experience for ISPs’ subscribers, today announced findings from a newly commissioned consumer survey, independently conducted by Qualtrics, of more than 1,000 Japanese households*. The survey revealed a potential churn crisis for home ISPs in Japan: approximately one-quarter of households are considering switching providers in the near future, with quality of service being a decisive factor. Similar research, disclosed last month**, found that roughly one-third of consumers across the US and UK are considering switching ISPs in the near future. Even though the likelihood of churn is lower in Japan, it demonstrates the scale of churn risk within the country. Notably, the survey also found that up to 60% of potential churn in Japan could be avoided by investing in better quality, features, and customer support, independent of pricing.

“Many Japanese households are silently suffering with real connectivity frustrations, and a stunning quarter of them are considering leaving their current Internet service provider in the near future,” said John Lancaster-Lennox, Executive Vice President and General Manager Asia Pacific at Airties. “Our research shows that Japanese consumers want ISPs to take more responsibility for the quality of their home Wi-Fi experience, and to provide a smarter managed service with advanced features that guarantee performance across apps and devices. Airties’ AI-driven connectivity software was designed to meet these expectations, provide better customer support, proactively mitigate churn risks, and improve customer satisfaction.”

Looming Risk for Japanese ISPs:

  • Only 21% of Japanese consumers said they are very satisfied with their current home Internet experience.
  • 51% of Japanese consumers said they currently experience noticeable Wi-Fi or Internet problems occasionally, but only 18% of respondents said they contacted their home ISP in the past 12 months because of a home Wi-Fi or Internet problem, which highlights a large segment of customers who endure issues silently.
  • Looking ahead, despite the fact that 81% think that changing their home ISP would be a hassle, 24% of Japanese consumers said they are considering changing their home ISP in the near future. This compares to 28% of consumers in the US and 37% in the UK who are considering switching in the near future.
  • Very dissatisfied consumers are 5 times far more likely to churn than very satisfied consumers: 61% of respondents who are currently very dissatisfied with their ISPs are considering switching ISPs in the near future compared to 12% of very satisfied customers who are considering switching ISPs in the near future.

Quality vs Price:

  • Findings show that up to 60% of potential churn in Japan could be avoided by investing in better quality, features and customer support, independent of pricing.
  • Of those who are considering changing their home ISP in the near future, 38% of Japanese respondents said the main reason they are considering changing is because they are unhappy with the quality of Wi-Fi or Internet in their home, vs 34% because of pricing considerations. Similarly, 31% of UK respondents and 42% of US respondents cited poor Internet quality as the primary reason.
  • The most frustrating issues pushing Japanese consumers to consider switching include devices disconnecting from Wi-Fi (49%), video freezing or poor video quality (44%), and slow website browsing (42%).
  • Of those considering changing ISPs, 13% said the main reason was the desire for better features elsewhere. These respondents cited the following missing features from their current ISP that would make them consider changing to a new provider: cybersecurity to protect their devices from online threats (42%); an easy mobile app to manage their home network (41%); Wi-Fi that automatically improves its own speed and stability (36%); and advanced parental controls and content filtering (23%).
  • Of those considering changing ISPs, 9% said the main reason was they were unhappy with the customer support of their current ISP.
  • Among Japanese consumers who switched ISPs in the past year, more than half (54%) said they actually now pay the same or more than they did previously.

Consumers Want ISPs to Manage the Home Wi-Fi and are Willing to Pay

  • Nearly two-thirds of Japanese consumers (65%) said they would prefer their ISP to supply their home Wi-Fi router as part of their service with a guaranteed reliable connection, whereas 35% said they would prefer to buy their own routers.
  • 44% of consumers expressed interest in a “Guaranteed or Smart Wi-Fi” service that ensures strong coverage throughout the home and automatically fixes network issues remotely.
  • Notably, 44% said they would be willing to pay between ¥500 and ¥2,000 more per month for such a service, demonstrating a clear willingness to pay for reliable, high-quality connectivity.

Exceptional Connectivity and Prioritization is Essential

  • 23% of Japanese households said they currently use one Wi-Fi extender, in addition to their main home Wi-Fi router in their homes, while 3% said they have 2 extenders, and 1% said they have 3 extenders.
  • Japanese households depend heavily on Wi-Fi for daily activities, with video streaming (73%), Wi-Fi calling (56%), social media (55%), and online gaming (30%) as the leading activities placing demands on home networks.

Dimora Medical Named Amazon Best Seller in Wound Dressings for Fourth Consecutive Year

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dimora Medical, a continuous innovator in high-end medical care supplies, has been named a 2025 Amazon Best Seller in the Wound Dressings category, marking the fourth consecutive year the brand has held this distinction. The continued recognition underscores that Dimora Medical has earned widespread trust from consumers for combining clinical-grade functionality with everyday usability.

Dimora Amazon Wound Dresssings Top 1 2026
Dimora Amazon Wound Dresssings Top 1 2026

Among the products contributing to this achievement is the Dimora Sacrum Silicone Foam Dressing with Border, one of the brand’s top-performing items on Amazon. Designed for pressure-prone areas such as the sacrum, the dressing features a contoured shape that conforms closely to the body, helping provide stable coverage and cushioning in areas where traditional flat dressings often fall short.

Built with a five-layer structure, the dressing can absorb up to fifteen times its weight in exudate while maintaining a balanced moisture environment that supports wound healing. Users frequently point to this performance in real-world settings. One customer noted that the dressing “handled wound drainage extremely well without leaking,” while remaining “lightweight and comfortable, even around a sensitive surgical site.” The medical-grade silicone contact layer adheres securely to dry skin without sticking to moist wound surfaces, a design detail that many reviewers describe as critical. “I was surprised at how painless removal was,” one review stated. “It didn’t irritate my skin or pull at the wound at all.”

Protection and ease of care are recurring themes across consumer feedback. A semi-permeable polyurethane film creates a waterproof yet breathable barrier, allowing users to bathe or shower without disrupting the dressing. Caregivers have highlighted the value of longer wear time and fewer dressing changes, particularly when supporting elderly or bedridden patients. One caregiver wrote that the dressing “stayed in place, kept the area clean and dry, and reduced the stress of daily wound care,” adding that consistent use led to visible improvement in a sacral pressure sore over time.

Others emphasized the product’s versatility, citing effective use on post-surgical sites, inner-thigh wounds, and skin graft donor areas. The foam core was repeatedly described as “soft,” “highly absorbent,” and “more effective than traditional gauze,” reinforcing the product’s reputation as a reliable home-care solution.

Together, these firsthand experiences underscore why the dressing continues to resonate with consumers and professionals alike, translating technical design into tangible relief and confidence in daily wound management.

The strong consumer response also reflects broader structural growth within the U.S. wound care sector. According to Global Market Insights Inc., the U.S. advanced wound care market is projected to reach USD 8.6 billion by 2034. Market expansion is being driven by an increasing volume of surgical procedures, a rising prevalence of chronic and age-related wounds, and ongoing technological advances in wound care materials and treatment approaches. As care continues to shift beyond hospitals into community and home settings, demand is growing for products that combine clinical-grade performance with ease of use, reliability, and patient comfort—conditions that have reshaped expectations across the category.

Dimora Medical’s continued Best Seller status reflects more than sales performance; it highlights a sustained focus on translating advanced wound care technology into practical, home-friendly solutions. By aligning clinical insight with user-centered design, the brand has positioned itself as a trusted choice for patients, families, and caregivers navigating complex wound care outside traditional hospital settings.

Brett Ratner directed the film and produced it alongside Melania Trump, Marc Beckman, and Fernando Sulichin. The film was produced in association with Muse Films, New Element Media, and RatPac Entertainment.
