BAIC Enters a New Phase of Global Tech Expansion with Three-Brand Synergy
The 2025 BAIC Global Distributors Business Conference was held today in Guangzhou, bringing together more than 300 distributors, media representatives, and industry guests from over 60 countries to witness the new stage of BAIC’s internationalization strategy. The conference, themed “TO NEW VISTAS”, highlighted BAIC’s determination in global expansion, brand portfolio restructuring, and the enhancement of systemic capabilities. During the conference, BAIC officially unveiled its new overseas brand architecture: using BAIC as the corporate brand, and establishing three product brands—BAIC, ARCFOX, and STELATO. BAIC focuses on ICE and off-road vehicles, ARCFOX covers the intelligent electric vehicle sector, and STELATO is positioned in the premium electric segment. The three brands feature clear positioning, complementary strengths, and collaborative synergies in technology, resources, and channels, fully supporting BAIC’s global development. Over the past five years, BAIC has achieved leapfrog growth: annual sales increased from approximately 10,000 units in 2021 to nearly 70,000 units in 2025; the product portfolio expanded from ICE vehicles to hybrid and pure electric models; the sales network grew from over 40 countries to more than 60; and the overseas team increased from 120 to nearly 1,000 members, significantly enhancing global operational capabilities. In key markets including South Africa, MENA, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America, multiple new models were successfully launched, with mature local manufacturing, supply chain, and after-sales systems providing stable support for global partners. At the Guangzhou Conghua International Circuit, BAIC delivered an immersive deep test-drive experience for its global partners. For the first time, BAIC Foton commercial vehicles were incorporated into the event, showcasing the full “passenger–commercial collaboration” strategy. Through a variety of dynamic driving experiences, partners were able to personally experience the core strengths of BAIC’s product brands. While the BAIC Off-Road earned professional recognition for its extreme off-road capabilities, ARCFOX and STELATO demonstrated precise handling and electric drive responsiveness during dynamic driving sessions. Their overall stability exceeded the expectations of many overseas guests, who expressed strong appreciation for the experience. Throughout the test-drive experience, BAIC’s focus extended beyond product performance to showcase technological confidence. Through real-world scenarios, partners directly experienced the full chain of capabilities—from engineering and energy solutions to global supply chain and market deployment—validating BAIC’s technical strength in both premium new energy and off-road segments. Looking ahead to the next five years, BAIC will continue to focus on three core measures: developing blockbuster products, expanding market coverage and strengthening supply chain support, while enhancing localized operations and working closely with global partners. Technological innovation will serve as the foundation for BAIC’s long-term credibility, guiding the brand towards broader horizons on the global stage.

Small Business Taxes, LLC Evolves Into Strategic Tax Advisory for Entrepreneurs as AI Reshapes Tax Filing and Compliance
As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the tax preparation industry, Small Business Taxes, LLC today announced a decisive evolution in its core offerings, shifting from traditional tax filing and preparation services to strategic, owner-focused tax advisory designed specifically for entrepreneurs, business operators, and multi-venture founders. The company, co-founded by Parker Moffat and Nate Nead, has refined its mission to serve as the critical strategy layer between tax execution, long-term wealth preservation, and forward-looking business growth, at a time when filing tasks are becoming increasingly automated by intelligent systems. Over the last three years, widespread adoption of large language models, machine vision for document parsing, and agentic automation has begun absorbing process work historically associated with tax filing, form completion, and routine return preparation. What remains unchanged, however, is both the demand for strategic tax intelligence and the complexity of multi-business financial lives lived by entrepreneurs attempting to grow companies while minimizing legal tax exposure. Small Business Taxes, LLC sees AI not as a threat, but as a catalyst—one that liberates human advisors to focus on multi-year tax planning, asset-driven strategy, and high-leverage advisory outcomes that filing software and compliance-first firms cannot provide. “AI is doing exactly what it was built to do—eliminating repetitive process work,” said Parker Moffat, President of Small Business Taxes, LLC. “But taxes are not becoming simpler. They’re becoming more strategic. Filing is getting automated, but planning is getting scarce, and founders need advisors who understand their businesses, their acquisitions, their assets, and their long-term goals—not just their deadlines.” The company’s enhanced advisory orientation deepens across a growing suite of complex tax services that extend well beyond seasonal preparation. These include acquisition tax structuring, real estate-driven tax offset systems, cost and revenue modeling for multi-business owners, DSCR-linked tax planning for asset acquisition, depreciation and amortization discovery that impacts valuation and tax posture, mezzanine and seller-note tax mapping, liability-efficient entity structuring, and tech-enabled tax intelligence overlays that allow business owners to pull forward future strategic advantage rather than resign to year-end scrambling. Nate Nead, co-founder of Small Business Taxes, LLC, further contextualized the shift, positioning the firm firmly in the strategic-tax-thinking arena, not simply compliance execution. “Entrepreneurs don’t fail because their taxes were filed incorrectly,” Nead said. “They fail because they didn’t know what their numbers actually contained—what expenses could be structured, what amortization was hiding, what depreciation could be accelerated, what customer concentration does to tax architecture, and how their tax posture impacts capital access. AI will file your taxes for you, but it won’t protect your upside.” Nead added: “By offloading compliance to machines, we elevate into outcomes that compound—keeping owners hands-off where tech excels, and hands-on where strategy matters. That’s where the real ROI comes from, and that’s where we’re building our firm.” The company sees the line between bookkeeping, filing, audit defense, and long-lead wealth planning diverging into two very different industries: one owned by automation, and one owned by advisory firms capable of strategic interpretation and multi-year coördination. Small Business Taxes, LLC is leaning forward into the latter, providing coordinated legal-tax-finance strategy for founders who are operator-focused, portfolio-driven, and frequently acquisition-active. “Business owners are being underserved by an industry obsessed with compliance dashboards,” said Parker Moffat. “They need tax models that look like business strategy—timelines that match their deals, structures that reduce taxable drag on growth, and advisors who understand EBITDA, assets, equity incentives, and venture-style capital planning. Filing is becoming programmable. Strategy is becoming competitive advantage.” He continued: “Our role is to build a system where founders win: understanding what can be offset, what can be depreciated, what should be structured, what assets can be leveraged, what risks can be redirected, and what capital conversations their tax story can unlock. That’s not seasonal work—it’s strategic work. That’s what founder-operators are asking for, and that’s where we’re going.” Small Business Taxes, LLC has also begun embedding data-influence loops between paid-marketing performance indicators and high-intent keyword tax demand signals, allowing the firm to see founder intent early and model strategy based on actual market behavior. Internal trend analysis shows that business owners are no longer searching for “file my taxes,” they are searching for “how do I keep more of what I build,” “what does depreciation mean for my business,” “how do I offset operator income,” “how do I structure multi-venture tax exposure,” and “how does tax posture impact acquisition strategy.” The firm is now structuring its services and content to meet entrepreneurs at that higher-order intent layer. The company is not automating tax strategy for accountants—it is architecting strategy for founders, while embracing AI-execution efficiencies at the process layer. Small Business Taxes, LLC believes that the administrative layer of tax filing will soon resemble cloud utility—essential, but invisible—while strategic advisory will become entrepreneurial oxygen, particularly for multi-business founders attempting to incubate, acquire, or exit companies without sacrificing tax efficiency or operational spirit. The firm is deploying services for business owners across select markets through strategic advisory channels under the SmallBusinessTaxes.com domain, providing what it calls “tax planning built like ownership strategy, not like seasonal compliance.” SmallBusinessTaxes.com offers founders a place to optimize taxes in alignment with long-lead wealth decisions, multi-business strategy, and complex acquisition timelines. “AI is doing the filing,” Nead said. “We’re doing the future-proofing.” The announcement marks a milestone for entrepreneurs who need strategic tax advisory rather than tactical tax preparation, with Small Business Taxes, LLC aiming to become a go-to strategic office for business and entrepreneurial tax planning in the age of automation.

BahamasMotorYachts Reveals Top Luxury Yachts for 2026 As Exumas Boom Draws US Charter Clients
The Bahamas has emerged as the number one yacht charter destination for American clients heading into 2026, according to BahamasMotorYachts. The combination of direct flights from Miami, fast access to Nassau and George Town, and the ability to reach secluded, tropical cruising grounds in just a few hours makes the Exumas a standout. With many larger yachts based in South Florida and an increasing number of local power catamarans joining the scene, availability and options are stronger than ever. Unlike other popular charter regions, a yacht charter in the Bahamas still offers true privacy – something even the Caribbean can’t always guarantee. “In the BVI, you’re almost always sharing an anchorage, and sometimes it’s even hard to fit,” says Carina Isenberg, Yacht Charter Broker with BahamasMotorYachts. “In the Exumas, you can drop anchor with no other yachts in sight – that’s incredibly rare for a destination this easy to get to.” BahamasMotorYachts has access to the full charter market, including many top-tier motor yachts and new-generation catamarans already positioned for the season. The 2026 offering focuses heavily on Bahamas luxury yacht charters designed around marine exploration and flexibility. Whether guests are after kiteboarding, reef diving, sandbar picnics, or just quiet anchorages, the Exumas offers the kind of open, immersive experience many clients are now prioritizing. “Guests today want more than beach clubs and bars – they want freedom, space, and nature,” says Isenberg. “These yachts are floating beach villas. You pick your pace, and the Exumas do the rest.” Captain Chris de Kock adds that for clients looking to charter a yacht in the Exumas , the logistics couldn’t be easier. “You can fly into Nassau and be on board within the hour,” he says. “From there, you’ve got access to blue holes, sharks, deserted islands, reefs, and sandbanks – all in one week.” As part of its ongoing focus on the Bahamas, the team at BahamasMotorYachts attended the 2025 Bahamas Yacht Show to review top charter yachts available for the upcoming season. Here are a few standout options already making waves for 2026, each offering something unique for different types of guests: Hannah – 112ft Westport | 9 guests | from $65,000/week Broker CJ Coetzee calls Hannah “a no-brainer for serious charterers.” Fresh off a $4M refit, it’s in excellent shape with a warm, US-based crew led by Captain Dan and Chef Gillian. With a 35’ tender, STARLINK, and top-tier service, it’s a smart pick for both families and short-notice trips. Beachfront – 108ft Hargrave | 10 guests | from $64,900/week Booked by Nadja Asmus, Beachfront gets rave reviews for its fun, hands-on crew and personal touches. “My client said it was the best trip of their life,” says Asmus. From themed dinners to drone footage and standout food, this yacht punches well above its price. Sweet Escape – 130ft Christensen | 12 guests | from $115,000/week Selected by William Mc Nally for its style and substance, Sweet Escape combines a bold, elegant interior with a seasoned crew and strong charter history. “It feels more like a private home than a typical yacht,” says Mc Nally. The crew is known for their attention to detail and hospitality that guests remember. Romeo Foxtrot – 118ft Hargrave | 10 guests | from $135,000/week Toured by Chris de Kock, Romeo Foxtrot is one of the most impressive tri-decks in its class. Modern, sleek, and equipped with a waterfall jacuzzi, beach club, steam room, and 32’ tender, it’s built for high-end comfort and adventure. Just Enough – 141ft Custom | 11 guests | from $119,000/week Daniel Asmus calls Just Enough “one of the most complete yachts in the region.” With a classic interior, water slide, strong toy lineup, and a crew that consistently delivers, it’s ideal for both first-time charterers and returning guests who want a polished, all-round experience. These yachts and more are compiled in BahamasMotorYachts’ online listings for the best superyachts for charter in the Bahamas in 2026 . The list is made to help clients find the most successful and best-value luxury crewed yachts in the Bahamas. The top yachts are booking out fast, and BahamasMotorYachts is encouraging people to book fast.

Portable Oxygen Concentrator Battery Life Guide For 11 Models Released
The Rochester-based medical equipment supplier has released a battery life guide for portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) to help patients compare runtime performance across multiple brands and models. The resource outlines battery duration data for both pulse flow and continuous flow settings, with single and double battery configurations included where applicable. More information is available at https://mainclinicsupply.com/blogs/news/portable-oxygen-concentrator-battery-life-guide The resource presents runtime specifications for current POC models in a standardized format, allowing users to evaluate performance differences across various manufacturers. Each listing indicates how long a device can operate at specific flow settings, giving patients clear reference points when selecting equipment suited to daily routines, travel, and mobility requirements. For example, the CAIRE Freestyle Comfort can run up to 16 hours on a double battery on Setting 1. Battery performance is a key factor for patients who rely on POCs outside the home. For users who attend medical appointments, participate in social activities, or maintain work schedules, understanding expected runtime reduces the risk of unexpected shutdowns during essential tasks. The guide addresses this concern by providing side-by-side comparisons of manufacturer-rated durations under different operating modes. Main Clinic Supply developed the guide in response to common challenges patients face when attempting to compare product specifications. Many concentrator models list runtimes using different measurement formats or at varied flow settings, making direct comparison difficult. The new resource consolidates these details into a single reference to support decision-making for both new and existing oxygen users. In addition to runtime data, the guide includes general recommendations for maximizing battery life. These suggestions cover the use of pulse dose settings when clinically appropriate, the benefits of carrying backup batteries during extended outings, and guidance on proper storage to preserve lithium-ion battery capacity. The publication also notes that lithium-ion batteries typically retain approximately 70-80% of original capacity after 300 to 500 charge cycles, providing users with expectations for long-term performance and replacement planning. About Main Clinic Supply Main Clinic Supply is a family-owned medical equipment supplier operating in Rochester, Minnesota. The company provides free delivery 7 days a week to Mayo Clinic's Saint Marys Hospital, Methodist Hospital, and local hotels. As an Authorized Inogen Reseller and Service Center, it offers direct manufacturer support and in-house warranty repairs.

Inogen Rove 6 Portable Oxygen Concentrator With Extended Battery Announced
The Inogen Rove 6 portable oxygen concentrator (POC), featuring an optional extended battery, is now available through Main Clinic Supply, an Inogen Authorized Dealer and Service Partner. This advancement addresses a critical limitation for active individuals requiring oxygen therapy, who previously faced restricted mobility during full-day activities due to battery constraints. The extended runtime provides patients with the flexibility to travel, spend time outdoors, and maintain social engagements. More details can be found at https://mainclinicsupply.com/products/inogen-one-rove-6-portable-oxygen-concentrator Patients with active lifestyles who require oxygen therapy often struggle with the weight and limited runtime of most POCs, forcing compromises that restrict their lifestyle. The Inogen Rove 6 addresses these barriers simultaneously, combining a low weight and a relatively high flow rate with extended battery capabilities. Traditional POCs have required users to choose between high oxygen output and portability, but this model eliminates that trade-off. The Inogen Rove 6 is available with several battery configurations, including an 8-cell battery with up to 6 hours 15 minutes of runtime and a 16-cell 'double' battery with up to 12 hours 45 minutes of runtime. Users can order their POC with twin extended or 'double' batteries to gain about 18 hours of runtime. With its compact 7.2" x 3.2" x 8.1" dimensions and weight of 4.8 lbs with the standard battery, the POC fits easily into a handbag or carry case, allowing users to carry it discreetly throughout daily activities. Operating at 39 decibels on flow setting 2, the Rove 6 runs quieter than the noise levels in a library, which matters for patients who want to maintain social connections, attend work meetings, or travel without drawing attention to their medical equipment. FAA approval for air travel removes a significant barrier for patients wanting to maintain their mobility and visit family or take vacations. This certification reassures both patients and healthcare providers that the device meets stringent safety standards for use during flights. The intuitive interface features simple controls, an easy-to-read LCD, and six discrete flow settings. Intelligent Delivery Technology optimizes oxygen delivery in real-time based on the user's immediate needs, while the Inogen Connect mobile app enables monitoring via Apple or Android devices, giving patients control and peace of mind without requiring technical expertise. Inogen backs the Rove 6 with a three-year manufacturer's warranty on the unit and a one-year warranty on accessories and sieve beds. The design prioritizes durability and minimal service requirements, allowing patients to focus on their lifestyle rather than equipment maintenance. The POC maintains oxygen purity levels between 90% ±3%/±6% across all six flow settings for reliable therapeutic delivery regardless of user demand. Main Clinic Supply offers the Inogen Rove 6 as a solution for active oxygen therapy patients seeking independence and flexibility. The extended battery option enables patients to reclaim their freedom and continue normal activities—spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, and traveling—without constant concern about limited battery life.

The guide, titled "What Is a Portable Oxygen Concentrator? Everything You Need to Know," provides an overview of how these devices function, what features to consider, and how they differ from traditional oxygen tanks. It is available on the company's website: https://mainclinicsupply.com/blogs/news/what-is-a-portable-oxygen-concentrator-everything-you-need-to-know POCs are medical devices that draw in ambient air and filter it to deliver concentrated oxygen to users. Unlike oxygen tanks, they do not require refills and are designed for mobility, offering a more flexible solution for individuals who rely on oxygen therapy. The guide covers considerations such as battery life, device weight, oxygen delivery modes, noise levels, and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for air travel. According to Cognitive Market Research data, the POC market continues to grow due to increased awareness, advances in battery technology, and a shift toward home-based healthcare. The rise in chronic respiratory conditions among older adults has also contributed to this demand. Main Clinic Supply's resource addresses questions frequently asked by patients who are new to oxygen therapy. It outlines what users can expect from concentrators in terms of usability, maintenance, and performance, and aims to support patients in making informed decisions alongside healthcare providers. A company representative stated, "We created this resource because many patients feel overwhelmed when first learning about oxygen therapy. Our goal is to provide clear, accessible information that supports them during a vulnerable time." About Main Clinic Supply Main Clinic Supply is a family-owned medical equipment supplier based in Rochester, Minnesota.

The Mustard Seed Planner Launch: A Faith-Based Organizer for Busy Parents
The Mustard Seed Planner is designed especially for Christian women who homeschool, attend or lead Bible studies, are active in church and who already use planners and want structured spiritual routines. They want a planner designed for Christians. There is monthly/weekly/daily life planning, a Bible reading plan, prayer prompts, gratitude pages, and a focus on family and home organization. The goal is to help moms create consistent spiritual and organizational habits that are established and remain throughout the whole New Year. Check it out here: https://www.mustardseedplanner.com It is a gift that brings peace, purpose, and a whole lot of “Finally, I Got My Life Together.” It is packed with time-proven essentials, and blends structure and spirituality into one clean, beautiful design: Daily Gratitude Prompts — because starting the day with thankfulness changes everything. Health & Habit Tracking — perfect for anyone resetting their routines. Bible-in-a-Year Reading Plan — walk through Scripture in a practical, manageable format. Weekly Bible Study Space — a dedicated spot to reflect, journal, and grow. Monthly, Weekly & Daily Layouts — to keep appointments, to-dos, and life moments in one place. Mindfulness, Sleep, & Prayer Prompts — things that should be tracked. Here is a quick look on YouTube . Why is the Mustard Seed Planner launching now? Because the End of the Year is the Prime “Let’s Get It Together” Season between holiday chaos, school breaks, work deadlines, and the universal end-of-year panic of “New Year, New Me.” The Mustard Seed Planner arrives at the perfect time. “This planner was created for busy parents who need simplicity, faith, and function all in one place,” says co-creator Abigail Barich. “It’s made for the moms juggling homeschooling, grocery lists, extracurriculars, and about twelve unfinished cups of coffee. It’s made for anyone craving a reset. It is made for those who want to stay organized in their daily life and consistent in their walk with God." It is perfect for Christmas gifts, teacher gifts, homeschool families or anyone starting 2026 with intention. Whether setting goals, building new habits, or simply trying to keep track of who has practice on what day, the Mustard Seed Planner makes a meaningful and practical gift. With its clean design, faith-filled encouragement, and thoughtful layouts, it’s the organizer built for every day use. And there's lots of extra space for all those notes and projects. A unique feature is the "mini-mini" weekly Bible studies that help those with little to no Bible background understand what the Bible is all about and enter into its message. It is a gift that can be seeded into a friend or relative's life. Abigail Barich and Cheryl Jones individually or together have authored five other books. Abigail's background is graphic design, event planning (hence, a planner), and busy mom. Cheryl's background is, among other things, a Rhema Bible Training College graduate as well as a blogger and author. Abigail's busy life led her to go to planner after planner looking for the one that would cover everything needed. She never could find that perfect planner and finally designed it herself. This project is a labor of love to bring order to chaos and help people grow their mustard seed faith. The authors' hope is that the Mustard Seed Planner will help people develop lasting habits both organizationally and spiritually. This positive outlook from the authors is certainly a testament to their optimism considering some of the mishaps during the creation of the planner. At one point Amazon kept sending the planner back over and over and over for tiny tweaks. It seemed like that season of rejection would never end! Finally, the algorithm was happy! In a recent interview, the authors made a point of thanking God who gave them the inspiration and joint gifts that working together could bring this project to fruition. Those interested in learning more about the planner can visit: https://www.mustardseedplanner.com

Nurse Bullying In M*A*S*H: Major Houlihan Case Study Analysis Released
EPIC Webinars has released a case study analysis examining nurse bullying through the lens of the M*A*S*H Season 5 episode "The Nurses," offering nursing educators and healthcare administrators a narrative-driven resource to identify and address workplace harassment. The analysis focuses on the conflict between Major Margaret Houlihan and her nursing staff, using dramatic scenes of exclusion, retaliation, and eventual reconciliation to illustrate power dynamics that mirror real-world clinical environments. The case study is available here: Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan Was Bullied by Nurses in M*A*S*H: A Case Study The release responds to a pervasive crisis: between 60% and 90% of nurses report experiencing some form of bullying during their careers, according to recent workforce surveys. This majority experience underscores that harassment in healthcare settings is not an isolated personnel matter but a systemic threat affecting the profession at large. The case study arrives as institutions seek evidence-based tools to confront behaviors that compromise both staff well-being and institutional stability. Beyond its toll on individuals, nurse bullying directly endangers patients. Studies indicate that nurses who experience bullying report diminished patient care quality. For example, a 2013 study in the UK reported that one in three nurses said bullying has caused them to behave in ways that are bad for patient care. For healthcare administrators responsible for safety outcomes, these findings reframe bullying as a clinical risk factor demanding urgent intervention rather than a secondary human resources concern. Organizational indifference compounds the problem. A lack of organizational support encourages ongoing bullying behaviors, revealing a leadership accountability gap that perpetuates cycles of harm. The M*A*S*H case study addresses this gap by demonstrating how institutional silence enables harassment and how deliberate intervention can shift workplace culture, making it directly relevant to administrators who set policy and tone. The episode "The Nurses" provides a teachable framework: when Margaret confines Nurse Baker to quarters, the conflict escalates into open hostility, with the nursing team retaliating and Margaret revealing her own sense of exclusion—she was never invited to talk or offered "a lousy cup of coffee." The eventual reconciliation, when the nurses extend that symbolic gesture of inclusion, illustrates how empathy and belonging can disrupt entrenched patterns of exclusion. EPIC Webinars uses these scenes to help educators recognize bullying tactics, examine psychological roots of exclusionary behavior, and model intervention strategies. The resource holds particular value for nursing educators, as bullying is a barrier to effective clinical teaching, according to workforce data. By grounding discussions in a familiar narrative, the case study enables faculty to facilitate conversations about hierarchy, retaliation, and resolution without relying solely on abstract policy language. The dramatic structure makes complex interpersonal dynamics accessible and memorable for learners at all stages of professional development. For administrators, the analysis offers a blueprint for institutional change. A significant percentage of bullied nurses consider leaving their jobs, making retention dependent on creating environments where staff feel valued and protected. The case study demonstrates how organizational culture either enables or interrupts cycles of harassment, providing a foundation for developing anti-bullying protocols and leadership training. Many organizations lack formal procedures for addressing bullying incidents, leaving a critical gap that this resource helps fill. EPIC Webinars designed the case study to integrate into existing curricula, leadership development programs, and continuing education modules. The narrative-driven approach pairs engagement with evidence, making it suitable for group discussion, policy development workshops, and staff training sessions. By combining dramatic storytelling with data on prevalence, patient safety impact, and organizational accountability, the resource equips educators and administrators with both conceptual understanding and practical tools to address a crisis affecting the majority of the nursing workforce.
