SIR JIMMY ANDERSON UNVEILS DP WORLD'S SUPPORT FOR GRASSROOTS AT HOME OF CRICKET
LONDON, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DP World, the international logistics business, today brought its Beyond Boundaries Initiative to Lord's cricket ground with the help of England legend Sir James Anderson. Rashid Abdulla, CEO & MD, Europe at DP World said, "Bringing the Beyond Boundaries Initiative to Europe for the first time is a proud milestone for DP World. In partnership with the ICC and MCC Foundation, and enabled by our supply chain solutions capability, we are helping to expand access to the game by supporting grassroots facilities across the region." The delivery of 250 cricket kits in a repurposed shipping container comes ahead of this week's ICC World Test Championship Final, of which DP World is the Global Logistics Partner. The kits – each including a bat, pads, gloves, and helmet – will be distributed to schools across Britain in partnership with the MCC Foundation. "It's great to see the support of an ICC partner extending to the grassroots game around the world and now arriving in the UK ahead of this week's final," commented Sir James Anderson. "Opportunity and access are everything in growing cricket here, so DP World's provision of kits to the school system is a huge moment." The initiative will continue to be bolstered by a kits-for-runs scheme during the test match between South Africa and Australia, just as has been active at all ICC pinnacle tournaments since the initiative's launch. Anurag Dahiya, Chief Commercial Officer of the ICC, added "Partnerships don't take a more authentic form than the staunch grassroots support DP World has shown. The Beyond Boundaries Initiative has already impacted lives in New York, Namibia and beyond – and now it's making a difference at the heart of cricket tradition." Angus Berry, Director of Operations for the MCC Foundation, said: "We feel a responsibility to the grassroots game in this country and beyond. This collaboration with DP World, arriving at Lord's ahead of the ICC World Test Championship Final, underlines our shared commitment to creating access and opportunity for all young cricketers." To date, the Beyond Boundaries Initiative has delivered 12 repurposed shipping containers, distributed 3,000 cricket kits, activated programs in 8 countries across 4 continents, and empowered over 15,000 young people to play cricket.

Pax8 To Unlock The Era Of Managed Intelligence For SMBs
Press Release – Pax8 Empowering MSPs to build, orchestrate, and deliver AI-powered business outcomes through agentic innovation leveraging Microsoft technology SYDNEY, NSW (June 10, 2025) Pax8, a leading cloud commerce marketplace, today announced at their annual Beyond conference the development of the first-ever Managed Intelligence Toolkit available in Q2 2026 that will enable managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver transformative AI solutions at scale to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This will accelerate the shift of MSPs into the Managed Intelligence era. Pax8 is building a Managed Intelligence Toolkit, which is a purpose-built unified environment for MSPs to orchestrate, scale and manage agentic automation across their SMB customers. By integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) into Pax8's Marketplace commerce APIs and catalog infrastructure, Microsoft Copilots and agents will interact with the Marketplace directly. In this effort, Pax8 will include the use and delivery of Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Microsoft Entra Agent ID, with Pax8's Marketplace, orchestration infrastructure, and partner ecosystem. Together, these technologies will enable agents to search, procure, and orchestrate services autonomously and in real time, allowing MSPs to become even better strategic advisors to their clients. As a result, MSPs will evolve into Managed Intelligence Providers (MIPs), delivering more than just infrastructure but agentic transformation and business outcomes to their SMB clients. 'MSPs are no longer just managing infrastructure—they're managing intelligence,' said Scott Chasin, CEO at Pax8. 'Our platform development utilising the latest Microsoft AI solutions will unlock a future where SMBs can scale through digital labor, and MSPs become the architects of that transformation.' Accelerating the MSP Shift into the Managed Intelligence Era The Pax8 Marketplace brings additional breakthrough innovations directly into the hands of MSPs: Microsoft Copilot Studio and Pax8 Frameworks: Pax8 will offer verticalised agent templates and curated solution bundles designed for deployment through Microsoft Copilot Studio, allowing partners to compose and customise domain-specific agents easily. Microsoft Agent Identity with Entra Agent ID: With Microsoft Entra Agent ID, agents sourced and deployed through Pax8 can be assigned unique, scoped identities across customer tenants, enabling fine-grained control and policy enforcement at scale. What's Coming To accelerate this transformation, Pax8 is also launching: 30+ Guided Growth Journeys: Structured enablement paths designed to help MSPs and their customers adopt Microsoft-based agents across key functions, including sales, finance, support, operations, compliance, and more. The Pax8 Agent Marketplace (launching 2026): A full-stack marketplace experience for horizontal and vertical AI agents, bringing Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry to MSPs. Transformation Academy: A curriculum of technical and business training programs to help partners build, price, and manage agentic services effectively. 'Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the global economy, and their ability to adopt AI solutions will define the next wave of innovation,' said Allison West Hughes, CVP Global SMB at Microsoft. 'We're excited to see new platforms, such as Pax8's initiative that further aims to empower SMB's to achieve more.' Availability The first wave of Copilot Studio, MCP, and Entra Agent ID integrations with Pax8 will begin rolling out in the summer of 2025, with full commercial availability expected by fall 2025. The Managed Intelligence Toolkit will be released in phased previews starting in Q2 2026. About Pax8 Pax8 is a technology marketplace of the future, linking partners, vendors and small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs) through AI-powered insights and comprehensive product support. With a global partner ecosystem of nearly 40,000 managed service providers, Pax8 empowers SMBs worldwide by providing software and services that unlock their growth potential and enhance their security. Committed to innovating cloud commerce at scale, Pax8 drives customer acquisition and solution consumption across its entire ecosystem.

Hong Kong actor Peter Pang continues working to pay over US$40,000 cancer treatment costs
Hong Kong actor Peter Pang, who is currently battling stage three rectal cancer, has said that he will "keep working hard". The 54-year-old, who has been dubbed Hong Kong broadcaster TVB's "go-to villain" due to his many antagonistic TV drama roles, was diagnosed with cancer in July 2023 after doctors discovered a tumour about 5cm in size in his rectum. According to Hong Kong media outlets, Pang had to stop working to focus on his treatment and has since depleted his savings. TVB recently reported that Pang is now "tirelessly working" to cover the cost of his medical expenses, estimated at about 300,000 yuan (US$41,800). One of Pang's recent gigs was performing at a nightclub in mainland China, which Pang himself posted on his Xiaohongshu page. The event saw him being greeted by lines of fans as he entered the venue. In the video, Pang can be seen leading clubbers in singing Sky by the rock band Beyond. "I'm grateful that I can still use this body to perform for everyone. I'll keep working hard," wrote Pang in his post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 彭皓鋒 (@ On social media, Pang maintains a happy and cheerful disposition, sharing his journey with battling cancer.
