Patrick Hemingway, American Writer, Wildlife Conservationist and Last Surviving Son of Nobel Prize Winner, Ernest Hemingway, 97, has passed

Hemingway, like his late father, was a global citizen and lifelong adventurer

NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Collective 222, LLC — Patrick Hemingway, renowned writer, wildlife conservationist and second son of legendary literary icon Ernest Hemingway, died peacefully on Tuesday evening at his home in Bozeman, Montana.

Mourning the loss of his grandfather, Patrick Hemingway Adams stated: “My grandfather was the real thing: a larger than life paradox from the old world; a consummate dreamer saddled with a scientific brain. He spoke half a dozen languages and solved complicated mathematical problems for fun, but his heart truly belonged to the written and visual arts.”

Patrick Hemingway was born in Kansas City, Missouri on June 28, 1928 and spent his youth in both Cuba and Key West, Florida. Often adventuring with his father on his boat, Pilar, they would engage in spontaneous hunts for German submarines along the Caribbean during World War II. Hemingway attended both Stanford University and Harvard University, the latter becoming his alma mater in 1950 where he received a BA in History and Literature.

Hemingway began his career dedicated to wildlife instruction at the College of African Wildlife Management in Tanzania where he trained the first African rangers for the newly formed country. Moreover, he served as a forestry officer at the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) on behalf of the United Nations.

After the passing of his mother, Pauline Pfeiffer, in 1951 at the age of 23, he channeled his passion for agriculture on his farm in Tanzania, later relocating there with his first wife, Henrietta Broyles. Patrick gained global recognition for his safaris and expeditions, serving as a guide, expert, and honorary game warden in British East Africa.

Patrick’s work managing his father’s legacy began in the early 1970s and continued until his passing. His contributions include edits and the completion of his late father’s notable book, True at First Light, where the manuscript is recorded in the Hemingway Archives at the John F. Kennedy Library. He provided historical and literary insight into the Hemingway Library series including Green Hills of Africa, The Sun Also Rises, A Moveable Feast, A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway on Hunting, and Hemingway on War. In 2022, Patrick, alongside his nephews Brendan Hemingway and Stephen Hemingway Adams, compiled decades of letters he exchanged with his father, released as Dear Papa: The Letters of Patrick and Ernest Hemingway.

Responding to Patrick’s preservation of his father’s literary legacy, Angela Hemingway Charles, Founder and President of the Board of Directors for Hemingway Ltd., honored her late brother-in-law: “Patrick’s life was a testament to the values he inherited from his father and made his own: integrity, adventure, and a deep respect for the natural and literary worlds. His passing marks the close of an extraordinary chapter in the Hemingway family, and his legacy will endure through the work he championed and the lives he touched.”

In 2023, Patrick and his second wife, Carol, established the Patrick and Carol T. Hemingway Scholar-in-Residence at the John F. Kennedy Library. Additionally, he was featured in the Library Forum in 2006, where he engaged in a dialogue about his life, the legacy of his famous father, and his contributions to wildlife conservation in Africa.

He’s survived by his daughter, Edwina Hemingway, four grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and multiple nieces and nephews.

Plans for a public celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

BrainCo helps amputee play piano alongside robot

BOSTON, Sept. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 26, at a grand AI gala, Jian took the stage alongside a humanoid robot to perform Jasmine Flower. Under the dazzling lights, the bionic fingertips of his BrainCo Intelligent Bionic Hand “blossomed” with each note, offering the audience a vivid glimpse of the beauty of human–machine collaboration.

BrainCo’s innovations in brain-computer interface technology are rewriting the everyday lives of people with disabilities. One such story is that of Jian—a once mischievous and lively boy from a basketball-loving village, who discovered his passion for the sport early in life. But as a young teenager, tragedy struck: while helping his family, Jian’s right hand was caught in a machine, and amputation became inevitable.

The aftermath of the accident was devastating. Everyday tasks, such as opening plastic packaging or peeling fruit, became constant reminders of his limitations. Yet Jian refused to give up on basketball. “Basketball is a way for me to relieve stress,” he said. On the court, he pushed himself harder than others, determined to prove his resilience: “I wanted to beat people without a hand.” The sport not only gave him strength but also connected him with many like-minded friends who shared his passion.

Later, as Jian approached graduation, he faced the pressures of job hunting while still yearning to challenge the impossible beyond basketball. That was when he discovered the BrainCo Intelligent Bionic Hand. “I still remember the moment I first achieved precise control of each finger—it felt as if my lost right hand had returned. The feeling is indescribable,” Jian recalled.

With the Intelligent Bionic Hand, Jian has since conquered the demanding sport of rock climbing, proving to himself and others that no challenge is insurmountable. He later joined BrainCo, where he now dedicates himself to introducing bionic hands to more people in need. “I hope to use my personal experience to help others like me—bringing them the power of technology and helping them regain hope in life,” he said with conviction.

BrainCo was founded in 2015 and incubated by the Harvard Innovation Lab (i-Lab). Since its inception, it has emerged as a global leader in non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.

BrainCo actively contacts social organizations and caring enterprises, encourages them to participate in public welfare projects, and ultimately allows disabled people who cannot afford prostheses to install smart prostheses free of charge, and improves the employment skills of disabled people to help them return to society.

Midea XPRESS MASTER Kitchen Revolutionizes Cooking Routines at IFA 2025

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Midea Group, a 2025 Fortune Global 500 company, has unveiled new XPRESS MASTER kitchen technologies. Between early meetings, school drop-offs, and rush-hour commuting, Midea’s XPRESS MASTER proves that efficiency doesn’t mean to compromise on delicious, healthy meals.


A Comprehensive Time-Saving Culinary Solution

The Induction Cooktop is the first versatile solution, featuring the XpressHeat technology that heats up cooking surfaces in seconds. Oats simmer to creamy, milk warms perfectly—ready for a latte to perk up your morning. Its intelligent settings ensure that a pot never bubbles over and chocolate never overcooks.

To save time and stress on dinner—especially after a tiring day—the Dual-Zone Air Fryer comes to the rescue. It features two completely separate chambers, each offering independent cooking settings that produce potato fries crisping on one side while turning salmon tender on the other without flavor transferring.

For special occasions, the XpressGrill Steak Oven achieves steakhouse quality without leaving home. Leveraging graphene heating technology and a premium cast iron pan, the XpressGrill Steak Oven sears meat to perfection without the need for flipping.

XPRESS MASTER is Available Across Midea’s Innovations

Across the XPRESS MASTER, every product delivers hallmark convenience. The Twin Convection Oven roasts chicken and bakes a delicate tart side by side perfectly without flavor overlapping. The Combination Oven combines steaming, baking, microwaving, and air frying in one. Sensing the pace of cooking, the Smart Range Hood can automatically adjust its performance.

The Light Meal Cooker quickly turns simple ingredients into wholesome grain bowls and tender proteins. Besides, the Micro Pressure Cooker creates weeknight-ready stews while the Built-in Compact Oven reheats bread to freshly-made perfection.

In life, time is the most important currency, and Midea’s XPRESS MASTER technologies save them wherever they can.

Inside, its Infinite Shelf and Door Bin system can be rearranged to accommodate oversized items like tall milk cartons, birthday cakes, or party-sized beverage containers.

Designed with a 3-Layer Rack System, it holds up to 16 place settings with room for everything from oversized baking trays to tall stemware. Once activated, the Dishwasher’s rotating sprays target every gap and crevice, leaving no trace of grease or crumbs behind.

After the chaos of mealtime settles, the SPACE MASTER Washer-Dryer turns the tedious laundry into a breeze. Its oversized drum holds an entire bedding set or a week’s worth of clothes and the machine’s PowerMix Spray technology ensures that detergent seeps deep into every fiber.

The Complete Appliance Suite for a Clutter-Free Home

The rest of the SPACE MASTER family carries the same philosophy. The Oven produces delicious roasts and large feasts without requiring a larger kitchen. The Air Fryer offers up to 45 percent more cooking area compared to a conventional 8-liter air fryer. Finally, The Air Conditioner provides exceptional cooling with an ultra-slim profile and an understated design. Through mastering space, SPACE MASTER empowers users to master their lifestyles.

10th Belt and Road Summit set to shape the future through collaboration


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 September 2025 – The milestone 10th edition of the Belt and Road Summit to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (September 10-11) is set to ride on its achievements of the past decade while creating new collaborative opportunities for governments and businesses to capitalise on the development of the Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI).

Jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) under the theme of “Collaborate for Change Shape a Shared Future”, this year’s Summit will welcome over 90 high-level government officials and business leaders from Belt and Road countries and regions.

10th Belt and Road Summit set to shape the future through collaboration

“The B&RI has been put into practice, turning an idea into action and a vision into reality. The HKSAR Government will further enhance Hong Kong’s role in taking forward the B&RI, raising the awareness of the B&RI among different sectors of the community and helping them to capture Belt and Road opportunities,” the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Algernon Yau said.

New elements of the Summit this year include sessions featuring signature projects and market spotlights, a roundtable promoting sustainable development, and more opportunities in an exchange session for young business leaders.

Nicholas Ho, Commissioner for Belt and Road, Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, said Hong Kong has made significant contributions serving as a functional platform for the B&RI.

“This is only possible because of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle and our status as a financial hub, our world-class universities and talent pool, professional services and advanced technology eco-system,” Mr Ho said.

“Hong Kong can be the ‘super-connector’ where Belt and Road projects can find the right financing solutions, partners, service providers and talent to make these projects successful.”

Looking ahead, Mr Ho said Hong Kong’s role in contributing to the high-quality development of the B&RI was assured by the city’s open, safe and stable environment and high level of cross-boundary connectivity.

One company to leverage Hong Kong’s B&RI advantages is Shuangdeng Group, a leading company in energy storage battery business for big-data and telecommunication industries.

James Su, Senior Advisor, Shuangdeng Group, said the B&RI had opened valuable opportunities.

“We made the strategic decision to use Hong Kong as the platform for our global expansion, a couple of years ago. We received strong support from the Hong Kong government and its institutions,” Mr Su said.

“Following participation in the visit to the Middle East led by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, Mr John Lee, in May this year, we achieved an important milestone last week by listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Hong Kong’s capital market is also a powerful driver for companies like us,” Mr Su added.
