Texas Space Commission-supported facility expands company's testing capacity as Venus advances its rotating detonation rocket engine technology

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Venus Aerospace today officially opened its new propulsion test stand at the Houston Spaceport, adding critical infrastructure to support the continued development and maturation of its rotating detonation rocket engine technology.

Pictured from left: Clint Stephen, Houston Airport System; Congressman Morgan Luttrell; Francisco Cuellar, Houston Airport System; Norman Garza, Texas Space Commission; Sassie Duggleby, Venus Aerospace; Andrew Duggleby, Venus Aerospace; Houston City Councilmember Fred Flickinger; Houston City Councilmember Sallie Alcorn; Arturo Machuca, Ellington Airport and Houston Spaceport; and Brian Freedman, Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.

The test stand was made possible through funding from the Texas Space Commission's Space Exploration and Aeronautics Research Fund, part of the state's investment in growing Texas' aerospace and space economy. Venus completed the facility on time and on budget.

"Building and testing propulsion systems at this pace requires the right infrastructure around the technology," said Sassie Duggleby, CEO and co-founder of Venus Aerospace. "We're grateful to the Texas Space Commission and the State of Texas for investing alongside companies like Venus. Public investment like this helps companies move faster and keeps critical aerospace capability growing here in Texas."

The new stand expands Venus' ability to test at higher thrust and for longer durations, allowing the company to more closely replicate mission conditions. Together with Venus' existing test infrastructure, it also increases overall testing capacity as the company scales integrated propulsion systems toward customer use.

Following the ribbon cutting, guests observed a live hot-fire test of a Venus rotating detonation rocket engine on the newly opened stand.

The September 10 opening brought together leaders from Venus Aerospace, the Texas Space Commission, the Houston Spaceport and Houston business and community leaders.

The opening comes during a period of rapid growth for Venus. In 2026, Venus has closed a $91 million Series B, expanded its leadership team and announced new customer and strategic relationships supporting the continued development and application of its propulsion technology. That business growth builds on significant technical progress, including the world's first successful flight test of a high-thrust rotating detonation rocket engine in May 2025 and continued ground testing as Venus advances the technology toward customer use.

About Venus Aerospace

Venus Aerospace is building next-generation propulsion systems for defense, space, and future high-speed flight. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, Venus is developing flight-proven Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) technology designed to deliver greater efficiency, range, and scalability for defense and space missions. Venus' propulsion systems are designed for domestic manufacturing and mission flexibility across national security and aerospace applications.

See the photos and videos from a sold-out weekend of comedy, private dining and late-night programming across Resorts World New York City and Resorts World Catskills, the first major entertainment weekend since Resorts World opened New York City's first live table games in April

QUEENS, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Resorts World closed out the summer with a sold-out Labor Day weekend across two of its New York properties, headlined by world famous comedians Tracy Morgan, Chris Distefano and Deon Cole. In Queens, it was the first major entertainment weekend at Resorts World New York City since the property opened New York City's first live table games in April, and the opening of a headliner calendar that runs through the fall and into 2027.

Distefano, the Ridgewood native, played a hometown set in the borough that raised him. Morgan, who grew up in Brooklyn and the Bronx, played both ends of the Resorts World footprint, headlining Resorts World Catskills on Saturday and Resorts World New York City on Sunday. Upstate, Deon Cole closed out the weekend at Resorts World Catskills, where fireworks, live music, DJ sets and a weekend of food trucks and local vendors filled out three days of programming.

Off the stages, Resorts World New York City turned the weekend into three nights of private dining and late-night programming in Queens. Hosted by Nas across all three nights, the invitation-only Resorts World New York City Private Dining series brought three of the city's most sought-after restaurants to the property for one night each, with Carmelo Anthony joining as a guest on Friday and Tracy Morgan on Sunday.

- Friday, September 4: Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi. The Lincoln Center restaurant, named the No. 1 restaurant in New York City by The New York Times in 2023, draws on Caribbean, African, Black American and New York influences in what Onwuachi has described as a love letter to the city.

- Saturday, September 5: Don Angie. A 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist from husband-and-wife chefs Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, the Michelin-starred West Village restaurant is known for its pinwheel lasagna and inventive takes on Italian-American classics, and remains one of New York's hardest tables to get nearly a decade after opening.

- Sunday, September 6: Coqodaq. From the team behind Michelin-starred COTE, Coqodaq pairs Korean fried chicken with Champagne and caviar in a high-energy room The New Yorker called "the ungettable table of early 2024."

Saturday night ran late at 3Q, where a guest-list-only party brought Remy Ma, Fabolous and Max B to the stage alongside DJ Clue and DJ Webstar from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. The 3Q Blue Room was open throughout the weekend with a Resorts World specialty cocktail menu.

"When we opened the first live table games New York City has ever had in April, we said it was the start of something bigger. This weekend showed what that means. Two of the biggest names in comedy, sold-out rooms from Queens to the Catskills, and thousands of New Yorkers finding a night out like this right at home," said Kevin Jones, President of Genting Americas East. "We have a calendar that keeps building through the fall and into 2027, and this weekend was just the beginning."

The weekend opens a run of headliner entertainment at both properties through the fall and into 2027. Genting Rewards members receive first access to every show on the calendar. Membership is free and available at https://rwnewyork.com/

The entertainment lineup caps a year of rapid expansion in Queens. In April 2026, Resorts World New York City opened 242 live table games, including blackjack, craps, baccarat and roulette, alongside 2,507 commercial casino slots. In July, just three months after the grand opening, Resorts World broke ground on Phase 2 of its $5.5 billion investment in the site. Phase 2 includes a 400-room hotel tower adjoining the current Hyatt Regency, the Kenny "The Jet" Smith Sports and Media Complex, a 7,000-seat multi-purpose arena, 1,200 additional hotel rooms under the luxury Crockfords brand, a central plaza and a state-of-the-art parking garage. The full expansion is projected to create 10,000 jobs, including an estimated 5,000 union construction jobs, and will add 2 million square feet of new gaming, entertainment, dining, retail and convention space to the existing one-million-square-foot property.

SLACAL CEO Benjamin McKay and Lloyd's Americas President Marc Lipman discuss wildfire, AI, new sources of capital and the future of insurance coverage in California.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Surplus Line Association of California (SLACAL) today released the inaugural episode of its Executive Forum video series, featuring a wide-ranging, on-the-record conversation between SLACAL CEO & Executive Director Benjamin J. McKay and Lloyd's Americas President Marc Lipman. Moderated by SLACAL Chief Industry & Regulatory Officer David Kodama Jr., the discussion pulls back the curtain on how wildfire risk, artificial intelligence and a new wave of global capital are reshaping where, and how, California residents and businesses find coverage.

California is the world's fifth-largest economy on its own, and its surplus lines sector now accounts for roughly $24 billion in annual premium. Lloyd's is proud to be a critical partner; it held an 18% share in the California E&S market in 2025. McKay and Lipman explain why that growth happened, why they say the industry's biggest reputational myth is flat-out wrong and what's coming next as AI, data centers and other emerging risks outpace what traditional insurance was built to handle.

In the conversation, viewers will hear:

- Why McKay says California's insurance troubles are "a wildfire crisis, not an insurance crisis," and how Proposition 103 has shaped the market ever since.

- Why McKay says surplus lines insurance is safer than most people assume.

- Why Lipman says the old idea of surplus lines as insurance's "dumping ground" no longer holds up, and what he calls it instead.

- How private equity, hedge funds and sovereign wealth are quietly funding California's next generation of risk transfer.

- How parametric insurance products emerging from the Lloyd's Lab—which accelerates the development and adoption of new insurance products and operational solutions for the Lloyd's market—can help California homeowners after a wildfire or earthquake.

▶ Watch the full conversation now on SLACAL's YouTube Channel

The Executive Forum conversation is the first in a planned series exploring the issues shaping California's insurance market. New episodes, along with additional educational content, will be added to SLACAL's Learning Center throughout the year.

About the Surplus Line Association of California

As the advisory organization appointed by the California Department of Insurance, the Surplus Line Association of California oversees the state's nearly $25 billion surplus lines marketplace, serving as a market stabilizer, information authority and early-warning system for regulators and market participants. SLACAL supports regulatory oversight, helps brokers comply with California laws and regulations, processes surplus lines insurance policies and monitors the financial condition of companies on California's List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers.

About Lloyd's

Lloyd's is the only insurance marketplace of its kind in the world. It brings together more than a hundred syndicates and thousands of investors, enabling the market to shoulder more insurance risk for every unit of capital than any other financial institution in the world. The role of the Corporation is to advance and protect the market—by maintaining underwriting discipline and our financial strength; and by attracting expertise, innovation and scale. Our unique global licenses and excellent financial strength ratings provide the infrastructure, oversight and confidence required to understand, price and manage complex and interconnected risks. Risk transfer—properly executed—underpins economic growth, resilience and innovation around the world. This is the role Lloyd's has played for 337 years, and it remains central to our purpose today.

Bilateral class action under Rule 60(d)(1) seeks relief from void judgments, an accounting, and restitution of money collected from mainland-China defendants in the Northern District of Illinois

CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A Ningbo-based cross-border e-commerce seller has filed a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois seeking to void default judgments entered against mainland-China defendants in thousands of "Schedule A" cases, and to require the plaintiffs who obtained those judgments to account for and return the money collected under them.

The complaint, filed by Ningbo Jiaruisi E-Commerce Co., Ltd., which formerly operated on Amazon under the storefront name GENISBULB, asks the court to declare the thousands of default judgments void for lack of personal jurisdiction, to halt their continued enforcement, and to order restitution of funds seized from seller accounts.

The Seventh Circuit's decision in Kangol

The suit follows a May 29, 2026 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over the Northern District of Illinois. In Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Import & Export Co., 177 F.4th 793 (7th Cir. 2026), the court held that where the Hague Service Convention applies, it supplies the exclusive means of serving process abroad — and that because no provision of the Convention authorizes service by email in China, email service on a mainland-China defendant is not authorized by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 4(f)(3).

For years before Kangol, judges in the Northern District of Illinois routinely granted Schedule A plaintiffs leave to serve Chinese sellers by email or by posting documents to a website. Sellers who never learned of the case did not appear, and default judgments followed.

The scale of the practice

The Northern District of Illinois is the country's busiest Schedule A forum. According to the complaint, more than 8,900 Schedule A cases were filed there between 2012 and May 2026, by more than 1,900 different named plaintiffs, with each case typically naming dozens or hundreds of online sellers under a collective caption. The complaint alleges that thousands of those cases ended in default judgments against mainland-China sellers served by email or electronic publication rather than through the Convention, that tens of thousands of sellers were affected, and that tens of millions of dollars were collected from them.

"Kangol corrected an error that was repeated thousands of times in the Northern District," said Wesley E. Johnson of Cross-Border Counselor LLP, lead counsel in this action and in Kangol. "This case seeks to remedy those errors. Spread across tens of thousands of sellers, it adds up to an enormous uncompensated transfers of value out of the Chinese cross-border e-commerce sector."

The named plaintiff

In December 2022, WHAM-O, owner of the FRISBEE trademarks, filed a Schedule A action in the Northern District of Illinois, WHAM-O Holding, Ltd. v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A," No. 1:22-cv-06802. On Dec. 13, 2022, the court entered a temporary restraining order that also authorized service by email and electronic publication. GENISBULB was listed as defendant No. 44.

The court later entered a default judgment awarding WHAM-O statutory damages of $200,000 against each defaulting defendant and directing third parties holding the defendants' funds to restrain those accounts and turn the money over. Amazon released $4,393.41 from GENISBULB's account to WHAM-O. The balance of the $200,000 judgment, along with a permanent injunction, remains outstanding against the company, and the complaint alleges that marketplaces and payment processors continue to treat the judgment as an adjudicated finding of infringement.

A bilateral class structure

The complaint proposes a plaintiff class of mainland-China Schedule A defendants and, unusually, a defendant class of the Schedule A plaintiffs who obtained non-Hague service authorization and then took default judgments. WHAM-O, which the complaint alleges filed at least 116 Schedule A cases, is named as the proposed representative of the defendant class. A subclass would cover sellers whose funds were actually turned over.

No class has been certified, and the court has not ruled on any of the allegations in the complaint.

Information for affected sellers

Many sellers named in Schedule A cases never received notice that a judgment had been entered against them, and some learned of it only when a marketplace account was frozen or closed. Sellers who believe they may have been affected — or who are simply unsure whether a judgment was entered against them — are welcome to contact the firm with questions. There is no cost or obligation to make an inquiry.

New suite unites ticketing and registration, guest check-in, table management, auctions, paddle raises, real-time reporting, and more in a single fundraising workflow designed by Funraise alongside leading nonprofit organizations.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Funraise, the fundraising platform built by nonprofit professionals, announced the launch of Funraise Events, a fully integrated events suite that connects event fundraising directly to a nonprofit's fundraising campaign sites, donor communications, and donor management system. The launch addresses a problem nonprofit fundraisers have voiced for years: event technology that exists in a silo, disconnected from the rest of an organization's fundraising and donor data.

Learn more about the next wave of fundraising event systems and how Funraise Events will change the future of fundraising events.

Funraise has partnered directly with five nonprofit customers to build side-by-side with our engineering team, giving Funraise users unrestricted access to our product design team and creating a near-perfect fundraising event suite.

For most nonprofits, events aren't a side initiative; they're the lifeblood of the fundraising calendar. A gala, walk, or auction can represent the single largest fundraising and community-building night of the year, and it can make or break an organization's annual goals. That reality is exactly why Funraise Events was designed and built in direct partnership with leading nonprofit organizations, for nonprofits everywhere. The result is a set of purpose-built, highly specific interfaces built for the workflows a fundraising event demands.

Unlike standalone ticketing or auction tools that solve a single friction point and force staff to reconcile data across multiple systems afterward, Funraise has built one continuous fundraising events workflow, from the first pre-event invitation to the post-event thank-you and every report in between.

Ending the point-solution era for nonprofit events

Most nonprofit event technology on the market today was built to solve one problem: sell tickets, run an auction, or manage a paddle raise. Fundraisers are then left to manually stitch that data back into their donor database, often days or weeks after the event, at the cost of mission momentum and relationship-building follow-up.

Funraise Events was built to eliminate that gap entirely. Because it lives inside Funraise's platform, every ticket sale, sponsorship, meal choice, table assignment, pledge, and paddle raise flows automatically into the same donor record used across a nonprofit's campaign sites, peer-to-peer fundraisers, donation forms, and email and SMS communications. No need to export and re-import into separate software with a separate login.

"Every nonprofit we've talked to has the same story: their event software works fine for the event, but the second the night is over, someone on their team is stuck manually re-entering data into their source-of-truth donor management system," said Justin Wheeler, CEO and Co-founder of Funraise. "Instead of following the trend and building yet another point solution for events, we built events directly into the fundraising machine nonprofits already run everything else through. That's the whole idea—one system, from the first invite to the thank-you call, so a team's best night of the year makes every day after it better too."

A workflow system, not a feature list

Funraise Events is organized around the full lifecycle of a fundraising event:

Before the event

- Custom fundraising campaign sites and event pages

- Peer-to-peer fundraising pages tied to the same event

- Branded donation forms with custom questions built into ticketing

- Email and SMS messaging to engage guests before, during, and after the event

- Sponsorship and table management with a drag-and-drop interface for seating assignments

During the event

- Guest check-in, with mobile app ticket scanning and on-the-spot payment

- Paddle raise with configurable giving tiers, assigned paddle numbers, and realtime, trackable pledges

- Live auctions run through an easy, guest-friendly bidding experience

- Live donation display showing momentum-building totals and goal progress on-screen

- Pledge fulfillment featuring automated follow-up emails and contribution tracking

- Realtime revenue reporting that gives staff a live view of tickets, donations, auction proceeds, and pledges as they come in

After the event

- Connected guest, donor, and pledge records in the nonprofit's donor CRM

- Automated tasks routing follow-up to the right staff member

- Custom reports and dashboards that turn event-night data into long-term fundraising intelligence

"Funraise Events solves fundraising events for nonprofits," said Tony Sasso, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Funraise.

Real-time reporting, built on one data model

Because Funraise Events is part of the same system as Funraise's donor CRM and fundraising tools, reporting isn't a backward-looking process that happens after the event; it's continuous.

"Nonprofits don't need another dashboard to check a week or month after an event. They need to know, in the ballroom, whether they're going to hit their number," said Jason Swenski, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of Funraise. "Because ticketing, pledges, auctions, and donations convene in real time, a development director can watch their event progress live, and then walk into Monday's staff meeting with a donor report that's already built."

Designed by nonprofits, for nonprofits

Funraise was founded by a team that built forward-thinking fundraising tools while building a nonprofit movement. Their firsthand experience shaped Funraise from day one.

Rather than build in isolation, Funraise worked hand-in-hand with five nonprofits to design Funraise Events. Met Council, New York Cares, Liberty in North Korea, Tim Hortons Camps Foundation, and Chick Mission tested early versions of the product and advised Funraise on what to build, what to fix, and what an ideal event workflow should feel like, from the chaos of event night check-in to the exhaustion of post-event follow-up.

Funraise asked these teams a simple question: what does it feel like when an event goes right? Not just when the numbers are good, but when your staff gets to actually spend the evening with donors instead of fighting with a check-in tablet. That's the version of success we built toward.

About Funraise

Funraise is the top all-in-one fundraising platform designed specifically for nonprofits. Leading with innovative, user-friendly software that includes comprehensive CRM and donor management capabilities, integrated email marketing tools, and advanced analytics, Funraise's mission is to empower nonprofit organizations with beautiful, effective technology that enhances their ability to raise funds and create impact.

What is Funraise Events?

Funraise Events is a nonprofit event management suite built into Funraise's fundraising platform, covering registration and ticketing, sponsorship and table management, check-in, paddle raise, auctions, pledge fulfillment, live donation display, and real-time revenue reporting, all connected to a nonprofit's donor management system, campaign sites, and communication tools.

How is Funraise Events different from other nonprofit event software?

Most event fundraising tools are point solutions that manage a single task, such as ticketing or auctions, in isolation from a nonprofit's broader donor database. Funraise Events is built directly into Funraise's platform, so event data—tickets, sponsorships, pledges, and donations—flows automatically into the same donor records used across a nonprofit's other fundraising tools, eliminating manual data entry and post-event reconciliation.

Who helped design Funraise Events?

Five nonprofit organizations—Met Council, New York Cares, Liberty in North Korea, Tim Hortons Camps Foundation, and Chick Mission—worked directly with Funraise's product team to shape the system workflows before launch.

Does Funraise Events include donor management and reporting after the event?

Yes. Guests, donors, and pledges captured during an event automatically populate a nonprofit's donor CRM and portfolios, trigger automated follow-up tasks, and feed real-time reports and dashboards.

Who is Funraise built for?

Funraise is built for nonprofit fundraising and development teams that want a single platform rather than a collection of disconnected tools. Hundreds of nonprofits of all types and sizes use Funraise to run donation forms, fundraising websites, peer-to-peer campaigns, recurring giving, events, and donor management.

About The Galien Foundation

The Galien Foundation fosters, recognizes, and rewards excellence in scientific innovation to improve human health. Its vision is to serve as a catalyst for the development of the next generation of treatments and technologies that will transform medical practice and save lives. Established in Paris in 1970 by Roland Mehl in honor of Galen, the father of medical science and modern pharmacology, the Prix Galien is widely regarded as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in biopharmaceutical research.

Today, the Prix Galien operates through 18 chapters spanning more than 75 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Expansion is currently underway in China, Singapore, and Australia.

In 2025, the Foundation launched the inaugural Prix Galien Bridges Forum and Awards Ceremony at the Nobel Forum in Stockholm, spanning Northern and Southern Europe, Israel, and the Middle East, and the first-ever Patient Summit for Prix Galien USA, reinforcing its commitment to science without borders.

The Nobel Prize and the Prix Galien share a common birthplace in Paris, where Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament in 1895. However, while the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes up to three individuals for specific discoveries, the Prix Galien honors the collaborative spirit and multidisciplinary progress that define modern biopharmaceutical innovation.
