2021 BRICS Think Tank International Symposium Held in Xiamen: Grasp important development directions and promote practical cooperation in multiple fields
On June 10th, the 2021 BRICS Think Tank International Symposium, co-sponsored by the China Council for the BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and the Xiamen Municipal People’s Government, with the theme of “Joining Hands to Build an Innovation Center to Create a Model of BRICS Cooperation” was held in Xiamen. More than 200 think tank experts, scholars and industry representatives from the BRICS countries discussed the construction of the BRICS innovation center through online and offline methods, and jointly sought practical cooperation among the BRICS countries.
Xiamen is the venue for the ninth meeting of the leaders of the BRICS countries. In December last year, the innovation center of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution was officially launched here. This year is the first year for the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center.
In the keynote speech at the opening ceremony, Guo Yezhou, Chairman of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Vice Minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, shared some ideas and thoughts on the construction of the BRICS Innovation Center by the China Council. He addressed that to build the BRICS Innovation Center, we must adhere to true multilateralism, uphold the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, strengthen unity, collaboration and strategic docking, and create a win-win and shared cooperation platform. We must persist in open innovation, tap the potential of the BRICS countries in the new generation of information technology, deepen industrial cooperation, integrate innovative resources, and create a pioneering zone for innovation cooperation. It is necessary to adhere to the “three-wheel drive”, focus on the three major areas of policy coordination, talent training, and project development, and create a key link for pragmatic cooperation. It is also important to adhere to sustainable development and realize the “carbon peak and carbon neutral” roadmaps respectively through cooperation and create a new benchmark for green development.
On behalf of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Zhao Long, member of the Standing Committee of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee, expressed warm congratulations on the convening of the seminar and extended a warm welcome to the guests attending the meeting in Xiamen. He mentioned that Xiamen hopes to work with the BRICS think tanks to uphold the BRICS partnership spirit of “openness, tolerance, cooperation, and win-win”, be a good “staff” to study and put forward constructive and operable policy recommendations; be a good “promoter” to tell the story of BRICS cooperation, and spread the voice of BRICS development; be a good “liaison” to sow the seeds of friendship, build bridges of cooperation, and promote the continuous deepening of exchanges and expansion of cooperation among BRICS countries.
Huang Haikun, the vice governor of Fujian Province, expressed that to build the BRICS innovation center in Xiamen is a major historical mission given to Fujian and Xiamen by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. He hopes that everyone can give full play to the role of think tanks in gathering talents, gather the wisdom of BRICS, and work together to build the Xiamen BRICS Innovation Center into a landmark and exemplary cooperation platform for the BRICS countries under the framework of the new industrial revolution partnership.
Anil Kishola, Deputy President of the New Development Bank, announced in his speech that the New Development Bank will actively support the construction of the BRICS innovation center, share best practices and experience, and help the BRICS cooperation and innovation base construction.
Jin Xin, Secretary-General of the China Council for BRICS Think Tank Cooperation and Director of the Research Office of International Department Central Committee of CPC, presided over the opening ceremony. The leaders of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the leaders of the BRICS think tanks Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa also gave speeches or video speeches at the opening ceremony. Xiamen City leaders Chen Qiuxiong, Huang Wenhui, Huang Yanqiang, Huang Xiaozhou, Lin Jian and Huang Guobin attended the opening ceremony.
At the seminar held that day, participants from the BRICS think tanks, business, and financial circles conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as promoting the construction of the BRICS innovation center, promoting investment and trade facilitation, and promoting financial innovation cooperation.
A number of guests pointed out that the new round of technological revolutions and industrial changes such as artificial intelligence, big data, and quantum communications have brought new opportunities and new key links to BRICS innovation cooperation. The construction of the BRICS innovation center should take digitization, intelligence, and networking as important development directions, and strive to promote pragmatic cooperation in the fields of digital economy, smart manufacturing, and green and low-carbon.

The firm’s new St. Louis County office at 600 Emerson Road opens August 1 as a visible, accessible home base for clients, attorneys, and multi-state operations.
CREVE COEUR, Mo., Aug 04, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Stange Law Firm, PC has completed the relocation of its St. Louis-area headquarters from Clayton to Creve Coeur and has opened its new office at 600 Emerson Road, Suite 110, Creve Coeur, Missouri 63141.
The opening marks the completion of a planned transition from the firm’s former office at 120 South Central Avenue in Clayton. More than a change of address, the move gives Stange Law Firm a long-term home base that better reflects how the firm serves clients and supports attorneys across its expanding multi-state practice.
A Practical St. Louis County Home Base
The Creve Coeur office combines professional visibility with practical convenience. Stange Law Firm’s exterior sign is prominently displayed on the building, while the main-floor suite, nearby parking, landscaped campus, and central St. Louis County location are intended to make office visits more straightforward for clients and guests. The office is located near the Interstate 270 and Olive Boulevard corridor, providing access from communities throughout the metropolitan area.
“Clayton was an important part of our history, but the Creve Coeur office is a better fit for the way our firm operates today and where we are headed,” said Kirk Stange, President and Founding Partner of Stange Law Firm. “It gives our team a visible, professional home in St. Louis County and gives clients a location that is easier to reach and easier to use. We are proud to open the doors and begin this next chapter.”
The move also allows the firm to bring its leadership, administrative, and client-service functions together in a setting designed for collaboration and long-term operating efficiency. Although the headquarters location has changed, the firm’s telephone number, website, client-service standards, and existing attorney-client relationships remain the same.
NEW HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS
Stange Law Firm, PC
600 Emerson Road, Suite 110
Creve Coeur, MO 63141
Effective August 1, clients, vendors, courts, and other correspondents should use the Creve Coeur address and discontinue mailing items to the former Clayton office.
Continuing a St. Louis-Area Story That Began in 2007
Stange Law Firm was founded in the St. Louis area in 2007. Since then, the firm has grown into one of the largest family law firms in the country, with offices in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The Creve Coeur office serves as the firm’s headquarters while also providing a local point of contact for individuals and families in St. Louis County and throughout the surrounding region.
The firm represents clients in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, adoption, guardianship, modification, and other domestic-relations matters. Readers seeking information about divorce representation can visit the firm’s page for St. Louis divorce lawyers; those seeking broader information about domestic-relations matters can visit the firm’s page for St. Louis family law attorneys.
“Our roots are in the St. Louis area, and this move keeps those roots firmly in place,” Stange said. “Creve Coeur gives us a headquarters that can support the people who work here, the clients who visit us, and the larger organization we have built. The location is new, but our commitment to helping people through difficult family-law matters has not changed.”

Rio Perfumes is drawing attention to its online fragrance specials, offering as the South African retailer continues to position convenience
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, 4th Aug 2026 — Rio Perfumes is drawing attention to its online fragrance specials, offering as the South African retailer continues to position convenience, broad product choice and regional fulfilment as part of its customer proposition. The company’s current ON SALE collection presents discounted fragrance and beauty items across a wide range of brands, while the website also emphasises free delivery on orders over R1000, delivery within three to four days and a seven-day refund policy.
The online specials collection provides a substantial assortment for shoppers looking for branded fragrance and related beauty products in one place. At the time of review, the page displayed 132 products and included items from brands such as Afnan, Armaf, Azzaro, Bvlgari, Clarins, DKNY, Fragrance World, Lattafa, Ralph Lauren, Swiss Arabian, Viktor & Rolf and Yves Saint Laurent, alongside Rio Perfumes-branded listings. Verified price examples on the page included Coty Exclamation Rebel 30ml EDP at R170 from a listed regular price of R340, Crown Perfumes Choco Musk 50ml EDP at R175 from R200, and Clarins Everlasting Compact Foundation 10g SPF 15 at R200 from R449.
The retailer’s wider digital storefront supports that value-focused positioning with a mix of fragrance, gift set and beauty categories aimed at everyday shoppers as well as gift buyers. On its website, Rio Perfumes describes itself as an online fragrance store in South Africa and states that it carries branded fragrances, aftershaves, deodorant sprays, sticks and gift sets. The company also says its business has roots in the Oriental Plaza and that the launch of its website expanded access to its products, services and deals for a broader fragrance-shopping audience.
In addition to the main specials page, Rio Perfumes also maintains a dedicated Buy 1 Get 1 Free collection, indicating an ongoing merchandising strategy built around clearly segmented promotional categories. That page listed 15 products at the time of review, with examples including Adidas Team Force 100ml Eau de Toilette at R230 from R460, Clarins Multi Active Day 50ml at R1000 from R2000, and Bvlgari Man Extreme 100ml EDT at R2800 from R5600. Together, the specials pages suggest a structured online approach to showcasing discounted branded products rather than a one-off offer.
Logistics and geographic accessibility are also part of the story. The Rio Perfumes homepage says the business offers free delivery anywhere in South Africa on orders over R1000 via door-to-door courier delivery, while the specials page and regional selector indicate support for shoppers in Botswana, Eswatini, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The specials page also references delivery to Maputo, Malawi, Gaborone, Swaziland, Windhoek and Lusaka, reinforcing the company’s focus on serving customers beyond a single domestic market.
Rio Perfumes also uses trust and payment messaging to support online conversion. Its homepage states that products are original and authentic and lists payment options, including credit card, EFT and Happy Pay. While discount-led retail messaging is common in e-commerce, the combination of product breadth, delivery assurances and dedicated specials architecture gives Rio Perfumes a stronger factual basis for communicating online retail momentum than a generic promotion-only message would provide.
From a market communications perspective, the most credible takeaway is not simply that specials are available, but that Rio Perfumes has organised its online store around accessibility, recognisable fragrance brands and a visible promotional framework that can be revisited by returning customers. That includes a main sale collection, themed offers, delivery thresholds and a contactable physical retail identity tied to Fordsburg’s Oriental Plaza. For a fragrance retailer competing in a fast-moving e-commerce environment, those operational details can be more newsworthy than short-term discount language alone.
Consumers and trade observers looking to review the latest discounted assortment, delivery terms or contact information can access the retailer’s specials collection, homepage and about page for current details.

Press Release
Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech Introduces Scalable Digital Transformation Solutions for Mid-Sized Organizations
Birmingham, Alabama, Aug 04, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech, a Birmingham, Alabama-based technology and digital solutions company, today announced the expansion of its scalable digital transformation offerings, designed specifically for mid-sized organizations seeking measured, sustainable growth in software infrastructure, cybersecurity, and cloud operations.
The announcement reflects a broader shift within the company’s service model. Rather than treating digital transformation as a one-size-fits-all overhaul, Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech is positioning its new solutions around flexibility. Mid-sized organizations often sit in a difficult spot: too large for basic IT support, yet not resourced like enterprise-level operations. This new initiative is built to meet that specific gap.
A Company Built Around Practical Technology Support
Founded by Nicholas “Nick” Sgalitzer, the company has spent more than fifteen years working across backend systems development, infrastructure optimization, and cybersecurity readiness planning. That experience has shaped how Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech approaches new client work: with an emphasis on implementation, not just planning documents that sit untouched.
“Our goal has always been to make sure the systems we build actually get used and actually hold up,” said Nicholas Sgalitzer, founder of Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech. “Mid-sized companies don’t need a five-year roadmap full of theory. They need working solutions that fit their budget and their team today, while still leaving room to grow.”
That philosophy underpins the company’s newly expanded service structure, which draws on the firm’s established strengths in software development, cloud migration, and operational technology.
What the New Solutions Cover
The expanded offerings from Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech are organized around four core areas that reflect common pain points for growing organizations.
-
Cloud infrastructure modernization: Many mid-sized companies still operate on legacy systems that were never designed to scale. Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech works directly with client teams to plan and execute cloud migrations that reduce downtime and avoid disrupting daily operations.
-
Cybersecurity readiness planning: As threats become more sophisticated, smaller security budgets can leave organizations exposed. The company’s cybersecurity work focuses on practical readiness: identifying gaps, prioritizing fixes, and building response plans that don’t require a large in-house security team.
-
Backend systems development: For companies whose internal software has outgrown its original design, Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech offers backend engineering support aimed at improving reliability and performance without requiring a full system replacement.
-
Operational technology alignment: The company also works to make sure that new technology investments actually align with day-to-day business needs, rather than adding complexity for its own sake.
Serving Multiple Industries with a Consistent Approach
Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech provides consulting and technology support across a range of sectors, including healthcare, business services, and broader enterprise operations. While the technical needs differ from industry to industry, the company applies a consistent framework: assess current systems, identify the most urgent gaps, and build solutions that can expand as the organization does.
This approach has particular relevance for healthcare-adjacent clients, where infrastructure reliability and data security carry added weight. It also applies to business services firms managing rapid client growth, where backend systems often need to scale faster than internal IT teams can keep pace with.
Why Mid-Sized Organizations, and Why Now
According to the company, the decision to focus more directly on mid-sized organizations comes from a pattern the team has observed repeatedly. Many businesses in this range delay technology upgrades because they assume the process will be too disruptive or too costly. That hesitation, however, often leads to larger problems down the line, including security vulnerabilities and system failures that could have been addressed earlier.
“We’ve seen too many companies wait until something breaks before addressing their infrastructure,” Nicholas Sgalitzer said. “By the time that happens, the fix is more expensive and more disruptive than it needed to be. Our approach is meant to get ahead of that.”
The company’s scalable model is meant to reduce that hesitation by offering phased implementation options, allowing organizations to modernize systems incrementally rather than all at once.
Rooted in the Birmingham Tech Community
Beyond its client work, Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech maintains an active role in the Birmingham technology community. The company participates in coding workshops, cybersecurity awareness programs, and mentorship initiatives aimed at supporting emerging entrepreneurs and technology professionals throughout the Southeast.
This community involvement is not incidental to the company’s business strategy; leadership has described it as central to the company’s identity. Nick Sgalitzer has continued to prioritize local engagement even as the company’s client base has grown to include organizations outside the immediate region.
Looking Ahead
Nicholas Sgalitzer Tech plans to continue expanding its scalable transformation offerings over the coming months, with additional service details expected to be announced as client demand develops. The company has indicated that its long-term focus will remain on practical implementation rather than broad strategic consulting alone.
“Technology should work for the people using it, not the other way around,” Nicholas Sgalitzer said. “That’s the standard we hold ourselves to with every organization we work with, no matter their size.”
