His ability to learn quickly, perform consistently, and race with composure sets him apart.

As a member of the Driver Development Program at TWG Motorsports, the group behind Cadillac's Formula 1 team, and an official factory driver for Parolin Motorsport, Zayne is building the foundation for his long-term ambitions at the highest level of motorsport.

As a result of this partnership, Zayne will have K1 Speed branding on his racing suit and helmet, participate in promotional campaigns and driver development initiatives, and make special appearances at K1 Speed locations.

Zayne's journey from his first laps at K1 Speed to international karting success reflects the vision behind K1 Motorsport's driver development pathway. Through K1 Speed, K1 Circuit, and Champions of the Future America, K1 aims to provide aspiring racers with opportunities to progress from indoor karting to outdoor competition and, ultimately, the international stage. By creating opportunities at each level, K1 hopes to help more young drivers follow in Zayne's footsteps.

"Supporting Zayne is both a commitment to our vision and a source of immense pride," said David Danglard, CEO and Co-Founder of K1 Speed. "From his first karting experience at our center to his international successes, he shows what talent, dedication, and opportunity can achieve. We're proud to accompany him through the next chapters of his developmentâand inspire the young racers whose own journeys are just beginning."

"Watching Zayne take his first laps at K1 Speed, we could never have imagined where this journey would lead," said Kevin Burgess, Zayne's father. "To now have K1 supporting his dream means so much to our family. We're grateful to David and the team for believing in him and helping him take the next steps."

Zayne will compete in K1 colors for the first time in the United States at the SKUSA SuperNationals in Las Vegas, November 10â15, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in his promising racing career.

CU Anschutz researchers play a major role in evaluating research data from 18 programs to help scientists uncover relationships across studies and make better use of existing research.

AURORA, Colo., Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists generate vast amounts of research data, but connecting information across studies can be difficult. The NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem is working to change that by making research datasets from 18 NIH programs easier to find, connect and analyze.

The initiative brings together research resources spanning human genetics, the microbiome and emerging technologies, helping scientists explore relationships that might otherwise remain hidden across separate studies.

A new paper published in Patterns describes the ecosystem's development, infrastructure and tools, as well as efforts to evaluate its impact.

"The challenge is no longer just generating more scientific data. It's making the data we already have work together in ways that help researchers answer questions they couldn't tackle before," said Casey Greene, PhD, professor of biomedical informatics at CU Anschutz and study senior author. "When information is connected across research programs, scientists have more opportunities to identify patterns, explore new relationships and build on discoveries made by others."

The goal is to make complex datasets easier to find, interpret and analyze, including for researchers without advanced programming or bioinformatics expertise.

How Can Connecting Research Data Help Scientists Make New Discoveries?

Understanding a disease or identifying a promising drug target may require scientists to connect genetic information with molecular measurements, tissue data and results from drug-screening experiments. A drug target is a molecule or biological process that researchers investigate as a potential point of action for a treatment.

When these resources can be explored together, researchers may be better equipped to understand biological mechanisms, identify meaningful patterns and investigate promising directions for further study.

"Scientific discovery rarely happens in isolation. A finding in one dataset may become much more meaningful when it can be examined alongside evidence from another study or another area of biology," said Julie A. Jurgens, PhD, associate director of scientific delivery for the Knowledge Portal Network at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and study corresponding author. "Building the connections between these resources can help researchers spend less time navigating fragmented systems and more time asking important scientific questions."

By making existing research easier to access and combine, the ecosystem aims to help scientists build on findings from multiple programs rather than examining each dataset in isolation.

Evaluating Effectiveness

Researchers at CU Anschutz contribute to the initiative's coordination and evaluation efforts, helping assess how effectively the shared research infrastructure supports scientists and delivers value across research programs.

The work examines whether connecting datasets across programs helps researchers find and use information in ways that separate public repositories cannot.

The team is also evaluating indicators of research engagement and impact, including how often scientists use the ecosystem's online resources and cite related publications. Preliminary findings suggest that related research publications may receive more citations than comparable papers, although additional analysis is needed to understand the significance of those differences.

These evaluation efforts are intended to help determine how the ecosystem can remain useful, accessible and valuable to researchers over time.

How Could Connected Research Data Support Artificial Intelligence?

As artificial intelligence becomes more prominent in scientific research, well-organized and connected datasets could also help computational tools analyze scientific information more effectively.

The ecosystem offers an opportunity to explore how infrastructure designed to help people navigate scientific evidence might also support emerging AI-driven approaches to research.

"The long-term opportunity is to create a research environment where valuable data don't sit in separate repositories waiting for someone to make the right connection," said Sean Davis, MD, PhD, professor of bioinformatics at CU Anschutz. "By making those connections easier to discover and explore, we can help scientists get more value from existing research and create new opportunities for future discoveries."

By making existing evidence easier to find, interpret and combine, the NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem aims to help researchers uncover meaningful connections, explore new scientific questions and make more effective use of the research investment already made.

The Common Fund Data Ecosystem and corresponding publication are the product of a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary collaboration across 5 centers, 18 programs, and multiple partnerships.

Key Points:

- Connecting research across programs: The NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem is working to connect research resources from 18 NIH programs, making information easier to find, analyze and combine.

- Supporting scientific discovery: Researchers could use connected genetic, molecular, tissue and drug-screening data to investigate biological mechanisms and identify new research directions.

- Evaluating research impact: CU Anschutz researchers are helping assess the ecosystem's use, value and long-term effectiveness.

- Exploring future AI applications: More accessible and connected scientific data could support emerging AI approaches to biomedical research.

Cerbo Expands AI Scribe to Virtual Visits, Bringing Native AI Charting to Telehealth

AI Scribe now drafts the structured note inside the chart for Cerbo Telemedicine and Zoom visits, so telehealth doesn't mean extra time spent on documentation.

ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cerbo, a leading electronic health record (EHR) platform forcash pay, personalized care practices, today announced that AI Scribe, its native clinical documentation tool, now works on virtual visits. AI Scribe captures the conversation on native Telemedicine and Zoom visits, then drafts a structured note inside the chart for the provider to review, edit, and sign.

AI Scribe launched in August this year as a scribe built directly into the Cerbo EHR, with no separate login, no dictation app, and no copy and paste between systems. Extending it to telehealth brings that same experience to every way an independent practice sees patients. In the exam room or on a screen, AI Scribe follows the clinical conversation and drafts the structured note inside the chart, ready for review after the visit ends, requiring signoff before anything commits to the chart.

For many independent practitioners, telehealth days carry the same hidden cost as in-person ones. The appointments end, and the documentation waits until the evening, a pattern providers often call "pajama time." Cerbobuilt the native AI Scribe to close that gap in the exam room, and bringing it to virtual visits closes it on video too, so a full schedule of telehealth appointments does not follow a provider home.

"Our goal is to take the barriers out of a provider's day, the time-consuming administrative work that pulls them away from the patient in front of them," said Nishant Phadnis, Chief Product Officer at Cerbo. "AI Scribe was built to do exactly that, and we keep extending it so it helps across more of the moments that matter. Telehealth was a natural next step. A provider on a video visit deserves the same focus on their patient, and the same relief from charting, as one in the appointment room."

For practices, AI Scribe on virtual visits means:

- The provider stays present on camera. AI Scribe listens so the provider can keep their attention on the patient instead of a second tab or a keyboard.

- Less charting left for later. AI Scribe drafts the note inside the chart as part of the visit, so documentation doesn't pile up for the evening.

- One scribe, one chart. AI Scribe works the same way across in-person and virtual visits, inside the Cerbo chart, with no separate app or outside workflow to manage.

- The provider stays in control. Every note is a draft until the provider reviews, edits, and signs it. Nothing reaches the patient record on its own.

- It fits how practices already work. AI Scribe works across Cerbo Telemedicine and Zoom visits, inside Cerbo's existing HIPAA-compliant infrastructure.

AI Scribe is available to Cerbo customers today in Settings > AI Scribe. For AI Scribe users with Cerbo Telemedicine or the Zoom integration, virtual visit support is included at no additional cost, capturing the same comprehensive notes on telehealth visits that AI Scribe already captures in person. More information is available at www.cer.bo/ai-scribe.

Bringing AI Scribe to telehealth is part of how Cerbo keeps building for independent practices, putting more of the provider's time back where it belongs, with the patient.

About Cerbo

Cerbo is a leading EHR built for independent practices, including functional medicine, integrative medicine, longevity, wellness, direct primary care, and concierge practices. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Cerbo gives practitioners a single, flexible platform for clinical documentation, scheduling, billing, and patient engagement, built around the way independent, personalized-care practices design their visits and workflows rather than a one-size-fits-all system designed for institutional medicine.

Joseph Rabinowitz, CPA selects Michael Zaidman, CPA and ZBS Group LLP as Succession Partner for Tax & Accounting Practice

ZBS Group LLP selected for fourth CPA practice transition, reinforcing the firm's position as a trusted succession partner for accounting professionals and their clients

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ZBS Group LLP, led by Michael Zaidman, CPA and financial advisor, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the tax and accounting practice of Joseph Rabinowitz, CPA. The transaction provides a thoughtful succession solution for Rabinowitz while ensuring continuity of service and expanded capabilities for the individuals, families, and businesses his practice has served.

Rabinowitz has built his practice around long-standing client relationships and the delivery of tax and accounting services. As he considered the future of the firm, identifying a successor capable of preserving those relationships while providing clients with additional resources was a central priority.

Following the transaction, Rabinowitz will remain actively involved during a diligent transition period, working alongside the ZBS team to help ensure continuity, facilitate introductions, and maintain the high level of service his clients have come to expect.

"Selecting a successor is about much more than completing a transactionâit is about determining who you trust with the relationships you have spent a career building," said Joseph Rabinowitz, CPA. "ZBS has the accounting and tax capabilities to serve my clients well, along with a broader team and additional services that can provide meaningful value as their needs evolve. I am looking forward to working closely with Michael and his team throughout the transition."

A Natural Fit for ZBS Group

The Rabinowitz practice will complement ZBS Group's established tax and accounting capabilities while giving existing clients access to the resources of a larger, efficiently structured professional team.

A key differentiator for ZBS is its understanding of the intersection between tax strategy and financial advisory services. Rather than viewing tax preparation, accounting, investments, and financial planning as entirely separate disciplines, ZBS seeks opportunities to coordinate these areas when appropriate.

For financial advisory clients, this approach can include greater attention to tax-efficient investing, investment and account structure, and the potential benefits of consolidating professional relationships. For tax and accounting clients, joining ZBS provides access to additional capabilities should their financial needs expand over time.

"Joe has built something valuable: a practice based on trusted relationships and years of service to his clients," said Michael Zaidman, CPA and financial advisor at ZBS Group LLP. "Our responsibility is to protect what Joe has built, make the transition as seamless as possible, and demonstrate to his clients that they will continue to receive attentive tax and accounting service while gaining access to the broader capabilities of the ZBS team."

A Proven CPA Succession Solution

The Rabinowitz transaction marks the fourth time Zaidman and his team have been selected to facilitate the succession of a CPA practice, reflecting ZBS Group LLP's growing experience in helping accounting professionals transition their firms as they approach retirement or the next stage of their careers.

CPA practice transitions present challenges that extend well beyond valuation and deal structure. Clients may have worked with the same accountant for decades, making continuity, communication, trust, and service quality critical to a successful succession.

Zaidman and the ZBS team have developed experience navigating these transitions from both sides of the relationship: providing retiring practitioners with a structured path toward succession while giving their clients a professional home designed to preserve existing relationships and expand available services.

"Every successful transition starts with trust," Zaidman added. "The retiring CPA needs confidence that the team stepping in understands the responsibility that comes with taking care of longtime clients. Our goal is to give practitioners a thoughtful retirement and succession solution while giving their clients confidence about what comes next."

Expanded Resources Without Sacrificing Relationships

For Rabinowitz's clients, the transition is designed to provide continuity rather than disruption. Rabinowitz's continued involvement will allow relationships and institutional knowledge to transfer deliberately to the ZBS team.

At the same time, clients will gain access to a broader organization with professionals across tax, accounting, and financial and investment advisory disciplines. This combination of additional services, an experienced team, and an established transition process helped make ZBS a compelling succession choice for Rabinowitz.

The transaction also reflects ZBS Group's broader strategy of partnering with CPA firm owners seeking a responsible long-term home for their practices. ZBS is particularly focused on transitions where maintaining client relationships, providing high-quality tax and accounting services, and offering access to broader financial capabilities can create value for both the retiring practitioner and the clients being served.

About ZBS Group LLP

ZBS Group LLP is a tax & accounting CPA firm led by Michael Zaidman, CPA and financial advisor specializing in tax efficient investment solutions. The firm combines tax and accounting expertise with an understanding of financial planning and investment strategy, helping clients consider financial decisions through a coordinated, tax-aware lens.

2026 MSP 501 MSP of the Year offers New Jersey businesses a no-cost, 30-minute review of IT setup, security gaps and per-user pricing

FAIRFIELD, N.J. , Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Technologies, a managed IT services and cybersecurity provider for businesses with 10 to 200 employees, today announced free IT and cybersecurity assessments for small and mid-sized businesses in New Jersey. The offer is backed by the company's Fairfield office at 55 Lane Road, which serves businesses in Fairfield, Newark, Paterson, Wayne, Parsippany, Morristown, Clifton, Montclair, Livingston, Caldwell, Hackensack and Jersey City.

Each assessment is a 30-minute review with a Corporate Technologies IT services specialist. It covers what the business runs today, where its security and compliance gaps are, and what fully managed IT would cost at a flat per-user, per-month rate, with onboarding and any hardware on the same proposal. A specialist calls back the same business day, and there is no obligation.

"Most business owners we meet don't know where their real IT risk is until something breaks," said Jim Griffith, CEO of Corporate Technologies. "A half hour with one of our IT services specialists gives a New Jersey business a straight answer on what's covered, what's exposed and what it costs, with no commitment."

The offer comes as confidence in recovery outpaces reality. Veeam's 2026 Data Trust and Resilience Report, cited in Corporate Technologies' Q2 2026 SMB Technology & Cyber Resilience Index, found that 90% of security leaders are confident they can recover from an attack, yet only 28% of organizations hit by ransomware fully restored their data.

Across the environments it manages, Corporate Technologies reports about 2.6 hours of downtime per client per year, compared with roughly 14 hours for the market. It resolves more than 93% of issues remotely, backs its service with a 99.9% uptime SLA, and answers support calls with a live specialist in about 67 seconds, 24/7.

Corporate Technologies was named a 2026 Channel Futures MSP 501 winner, including MSP of the Year and Cybersecurity MSP of the Year. Every core managed plan carries a 60-day money-back guarantee.

New Jersey businesses can request a free assessment at gocorptech.com/new-jersey-managed-it-services or by calling the Fairfield office at 973-604-0655.

By adopting this new technological standard already deployed across airlines around the world, Air Tahiti Nui is aligning its service offering with industry best practices to provide its passengers with a premium, high-performance travel experience.

Passengers will thus enjoy:

- free Internet access in all travel classes;

- ultra-high-speed, low-latency connectivity (25â30 ms);

- uninterrupted global coverage, eliminating the traditional dead zones on long-haul flights (over oceans and near the poles).

This decision marks a key milestone in the Polynesian airline's development plan. It demonstrates Air Tahiti Nui's commitment to making no compromises on the quality of its service and to tangibly meeting the legitimate expectations of its customers.

Lionel Guérin, CEO of Air Tahiti Nui, explains: "Our passengers place their trust in our airline. They expect us to provide a flawless in-flight experience. Since high-speed connectivity is now a fundamental part of a successful trip, we are naturally investing in this serviceâwhich truly matters to themâso that Air Tahiti Nui remains synonymous with excellence, comfort, and innovation, in line with the most rigorous standards of our industry."

The airline expects to bring Starlink onboard in 2027.
