Burning ship abandoned in Pacific carried several Chinese car brands
Ship carrying about 3,000 cars, including 800 EVs, has been abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after catching fire. - Reuters EAST ASIA (Bloomberg): A cargo ship that was abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after catching fire Tuesday was carrying cars from several Chinese automakers, according to people familiar with the matter. The Morning Midas was shipping around 3,000 cars from a range of manufacturers including Chery Automobile Co. and Great Wall Motor Co. to Mexico. It's unclear at this stage which brand's electric vehicle caught fire, the people said, who asked not to be identified discussing preliminary findings. The eastern Chinese city of Yantai, the port where the ship originated, also has a SAIC Motor Corp.-GM plant that produces the Buick Envision model, while the charterer of the vessel has been reported by local media to be Anji Logistics, a subsidiary of SAIC. Smoke was first seen coming from a deck of the vessel on Tuesday, whose cargo included about 800 EVs. The crew initiated firefighting procedures but the blaze couldn't be brought under control. Responders were deployed to support salvage and firefighting operations, the ship's manager Zodiac Maritime said in a statement. The US Coast Guard, which said the fire aboard the ship occurred approximately 300 miles south of Adak Island in Alaska, evacuated all 22 crew members and transferred them to a nearby merchant ship. Great Wall Motor had about 140 cars on the ship, although none of them were battery EVs and were not located at the deck where the fire started, one of the people said. A representative from Chery declined to comment. Great Wall Motor didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Calls and an email to Anji Logistics weren't answered. --With assistance from Sarah Chen and Katia Dmitrieva. ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Morning Magic Focus Drink Goes Viral on Social Media as the "Ultimate Morning Brain Boost"
Sheridan, Wyoming, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brighter A.M.'s Morning Magic has exploded across social media after being dubbed "the ultimate focus drink" by productivity influencers, generating over 2.3 million views on TikTok and driving a staggering 600% increase in sales in just 30 days. The Grapefruit Guava flavored nootropic drink mix has become the latest sensation in the wellness space as users share dramatic "before and after" videos showcasing enhanced focus, productivity, and mental clarity. "We knew we had created something special, but we never expected to go viral this quickly," said David Longacre, founder and CEO of Brighter A.M. "People are absolutely blown away by how different Morning Magic makes them feel compared to traditional energy drinks and coffee. The Grapefruit Guava flavor has become an unexpected hit – users describe it as refreshing and sophisticated, unlike the overly sweet options that dominate the market." The viral phenomenon began when productivity coach @FocusMaster posted a split-screen video comparing his work output before and after drinking Morning Magic. "I've tried EVERYTHING for focus – this is actually insane," he wrote in a caption that resonated with millions struggling with brain fog and afternoon crashes. The video sparked the #MorningMagicChallenge, with thousands of users documenting their enhanced productivity, leading to Morning Magic selling out three times. What separates Morning Magic from the crowded energy drink market is its revolutionary science-backed formula containing 35% less caffeine than conventional energy drinks, paired with 11 premium brain-supporting ingredients: natural caffeine from green tea, L-Tyrosine, MCT Oil, Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom, Alpha-GPC, Choline, Vitamin C, B Vitamins, L-Theanine, KSM-66™ Ashwagandha, and Rhodiola Rosea. Users report experiencing the "Morning Magic Effect" – described as "unlocking a higher level of mental performance" – within 15 minutes of consumption. A remarkable 94% of customers surveyed said they could feel a noticeable difference in their focus and cognitive clarity compared to their usual morning beverages, without the jitters and crashes associated with traditional stimulants. "The Grapefruit Guava flavor was a deliberate choice to signal that this isn't your typical energy drink," explained Sarah Chen, Chief Science Officer at Brighter A.M. "We wanted a sophisticated, refreshing taste profile that would work well first thing in the morning. The citrus notes from grapefruit provide a clean, bright sensation while guava adds a tropical sweetness without any artificial ingredients or added sugars. The flavor perfectly complements the functional benefits." The unique taste has become part of the viral appeal, with users praising it as "addictively refreshing" and "the perfect morning flavor" in thousands of comments and reviews. Several viral videos feature first-time users' surprised reactions to the taste, with many expecting the typical medicinal flavor associated with functional beverages. Tech industry professionals and creative workers have emerged as particularly enthusiastic adopters, with numerous testimonials highlighting improved coding sessions, better meeting focus, enhanced creative problem-solving, and sustained productivity throughout the day. Morning Magic has rapidly spread through companies in tech hubs like Austin, Seattle, and Miami, with some offices now stocking it alongside or in place of coffee. "What makes Morning Magic truly revolutionary is that it delivers on what energy drinks have always promised but failed to provide," explained Dr. Michael Rivera, neurologist and independent advisor to Brighter A.M. "The synergistic blend of adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola helps your body manage stress, while nootropics like Alpha-GPC and Lion's Mane support cognitive function. Combined with the balanced energy from natural caffeine and L-Theanine, you get a comprehensive boost to mental performance that you can actually feel." The company has seen an impressive 82% subscription renewal rate and maintains a 4.8/5 star average across over 1,200 verified reviews. Morning Magic's viral success has caught the attention of major retailers, with several national chains now in discussions to carry the product. "We're scaling production as quickly as possible to meet demand," Longacre added. "What's most rewarding is seeing how Morning Magic is genuinely improving people's daily lives. When someone messages us saying they finally finished that project they've been putting off for months or that they've had their most productive week in years, that's when we know we've created something truly valuable." Morning Magic is available in its signature Grapefruit Guava flavor on Each container provides 30 servings of the premium drink mix, priced at $59.98 with discounts available for subscribers. The company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for first-time customers. About Brighter A.M.: Brighter A.M. creates wellness products helping people feel and perform better daily.
