LAS VEGAS, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Known around the world as legends in rock and roll, dozens of iconic rock stars have talent that goes far beyond the stage. This November, a thoughtfully curated show featuring the artwork of some of the biggest names in music is set for a limited-time residency at Animazing Gallery in Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. The show will also be available online at www.animazinggallery.com for fans around the world to enjoy.

Beyond the Stage: Art by Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll – Art Exhibition and Sale will feature rare and highly collectable drawings, sketches, paintings, unique guitars and other works of fine art from such music icons as Bob Dylan, Bono, David Bowie, Slash, Gene Simmons, Steven Tyler, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Jim Morrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Steve Vai, Rick Allen, Billy Morrison and many more. 

The show will open on November 7 with a special event scheduled for November 8 featuring guest artists Grammy Award-winning guitarist Steve Vai, guitarist Billy Morrison (Billy Idol), drummer John Douglas (Aerosmith), and Paul Geary (drummer for Extreme and manager of Smashing Pumpkins, Godsmack, Creed, Scorpions, Joe Perry, and The Hollywood Vampires), among others.

“I am so happy to be a part of this unique gathering of art and artists. I am more used to holding a guitar than a paintbrush, but I actually started painting well before I ever played guitar. My mom took lessons from a fairly well-known artist, Mr. Kurosawa. I kind of liked it then and I never thought I would pick up a paintbrush again, forty years later. The main difference between my music and my painting is that one is done with other people and the other is pretty much a one-man deal. Risk and I have been changing that by collaborating on our art pieces. I am looking forward to this exhibition,” said Robby Krieger.

“I’m honored to have been invited to show my abstract art at Animating Gallery’s exhibit along with so many inspired artists,” said Steve Vai. “It’s a unique exhibit that explores the artistic expression of musical icons. We know their musical expressions, but at this exhibit we get to see how that translates into shapes and colors.”

“It is an absolute honor to be included in such an all-encompassing and diverse show, and in such a wonderful and prestigious gallery,” said Billy Morrison. “To be showcasing beside so many other world-class musicians and artists is amazing and I hope people enjoy the ‘Cereal Killers’ suite of paintings.”

The Beyond the Stage: Art by Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll collection will showcase rare paintings and one-of-a-kind items including hand painted guitars by Steve Vai that were played on stage, a tambourine with a drawing by Stevie Nicks, and an acoustic guitar signed by all of the artists who participated in the concert for Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund in 2012 including Chris Martin, Charlie Watts, Christoph Waltz, Roger Daltrey, Alicia Keys, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, David Grohl, Roger Waters, Susan Sarandon, Jack McBrayer, Michael Stipe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul McCartney, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Shafter, Brian Williams, Eddie Vedder, Pat Smear, Ronnie Wood, Ben Stiller, Jamie Foxx, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Tony Danza, P. Diddy, Katie Holmes, Chris Rock, Billy Joel, Adam Sandler, Pete Townshend, Mick Jagger, James Gandolfini, Krist Novoselic, Jon Bon Jovi, Whoopi Goldberg, Kristin Stewart, Blake Lively, Keith Richards, Kanye West, Eric Clapton, Joe Pantoliano, Diana Krall, and Quentin Tarantino.

BinBase Expands 2026 BIN Dataset with Instant Payout Intelligence for iGaming, Gambling, and Cross-Border Transfers

Published

on

By

BinBase updates its 2026 dataset with specialized Fast Funds, Visa Direct, and Mastercard MoneySend indicators to help iGaming operators and payout platforms execute seamless, instant card disbursements.

MIAMI, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a global provider of payment routing intelligence and card issuing data, has introduced specialized instant payout indicators as part of its upgraded 2026 BIN Database. Tailored for iGaming operators, online gambling platforms, crypto-to-fiat ramps, and payout aggregators, the updated dataset helps platform engineers streamline real-time card disbursements and Push-to-Card (P2C) transactions.

In high-velocity sectors such as online betting and gaming, instantaneous player payouts are a primary driver of customer retention. However, executing Push-to-Card transactions through protocols like Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend requires knowing whether the receiving card issuer supports Fast Funds for specific merchant category codes (MCCs). Attempting instant payouts on non-eligible cards leads to declined transactions, elevated processing fees, and poor user experiences.

The 2026 BinBase release solves this operational bottleneck by delivering dedicated attributes for real-time fund disbursements:

Fast Funds Eligibility: Granular indicators identifying domestic and cross-border Fast Funds support across global Visa and Mastercard ranges.Online Gambling Fast Funds (OG FF): Dedicated flags specifically identifying card ranges authorized to receive real-time gambling and betting payouts.Mastercard MoneySend & Visa Direct Indicators: Precise protocol compatibility markers (MS Ind & MT Ind) ensuring push transactions are routed only to eligible recipient cards.Direct Debit & Pull-Funds Support: Indicators for recurring collections and account-funding transactions.

“Player payouts in iGaming cannot wait for standard 2-to-3-day ACH settlements,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By embedding our Fast Funds and Gambling FF flags into their payment engines, operators can instantly validate recipient cards before initiating a transfer, guaranteeing high success rates and instant liquidity for their users.”

Fintech engineers and payout architects can examine the full 29-field database schema and access a free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

Walnut Coding’s Young Coders Serve as ‘Instructors’ at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp

Ages 8 and 15, students showcase AI-era project-building skills from concept to working application

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walnut Coding (the “Company”), a leading online platform for youth coding education, said two of its students – ages 8 and 15 – have joined the “instructor” lineup at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp, making them among the youngest “instructors” in the program’s history. The Company cites the pair as a prime example of how young learners can combine coding fundamentals with AI tools to turn ideas into working applications.

The two students, Bolin Du, 8, and Peiqi Gao, 15, built working applications using Huawei Cloud CodeArts, an AI coding assistant, then presented the projects to the training camp themselves – walking the audience through their design choices, technical builds, and debugging process.

The move lands at a moment when AI coding tools are forcing a rethink across the education sector. Tools that can generate functioning code from a plain-language prompt have undercut the traditional argument for teaching children to program – that they need the skill to build things themselves. Walnut Coding’s answer is that the more valuable skill now is judgment – knowing what problem to solve, breaking it into parts, and determining whether an AI’s output actually works.

Gao built a travel-planning application that generates routes, itineraries, and recommendations based on user input, handling the project end to end, from requirements and design through coding and debugging. Du, the younger of the two, built an interactive calendar application, using HTML for page structure, CSS for visual design, and JavaScript for interactive features. Both students then took on an instructor’s role at the camp, presenting their project goals and technical implementation to the audience – a step Walnut Coding says separated the work from a typical classroom assignment.

These were not classroom exercises but working projects, built and presented inside a professional developer-training environment. The experience demanded more from both students than simply producing something functional – they needed to articulate their reasoning, defend technical choices, and refine the final result under scrutiny. Their participation signals a broader shift underway in what youth coding education can deliver.

AI is making code generation easier, but it is also redrawing which skills actually matter. A student who relies only on one-click generation may get a rough prototype quickly, but still struggle to spot logical flaws, judge whether the output is reliable, or turn an abstract idea into a product that actually works. Students with programming foundations, by contrast, are better positioned to define requirements, evaluate what the AI produces, correct its errors, and treat the technology as a tool rather than a shortcut to lean on.

“AI can help children generate code faster, but it cannot decide for them what problem they should solve, nor can it make the final judgment about whether the result is truly effective,” said Pengxuan Zeng, founder and CEO of Walnut Coding. “What these two students demonstrated is not just coding technique, but the ability to define needs, break down tasks, verify outcomes, and turn an idea into a working product. That is why we believe young people still need to learn programming in the AI era.”

Walnut Coding structures its courses around that thesis, pairing student-led project work with teaching-assistant guidance and AI-assisted support. According to the Company, this data is continuously fed back into its systems to refine the personalization of AI-assisted feedback — a closed-loop process linking teaching, practice, feedback, and curriculum development.

The Company frames the payoffs less around producing professional software engineers than around a broader form of literacy. As AI continues to reshape how tasks get done, the ability to understand the technology, structure problems clearly and collaborate effectively with intelligent tools may prove one of the most durable skills a young learner can develop.

Walnut Coding says it plans to keep expanding opportunities for students to build practical projects, partner with industry technology platforms such as Huawei Cloud, and develop the core capabilities needed to build with technology in the AI era.

This enabled attendees to directly verify both inference performance and GPU resource efficiency in a production-like service environment.

Global AI industry leaders and enterprise customers attending the event expressed strong interest in the system’s fast response times and stable performance. In particular, the live deployment of the computationally demanding GLM-5.1 model on AMD GPUs at production-grade service levels received positive feedback from visitors.

Moreh’s MoAI Inference Framework is widely recognized as the world’s first commercially deployed distributed inference solution built for the AMD ecosystem. Its distributed inference and heterogeneous computing technologies are designed to dramatically reduce AI service costs, enabling broader adoption of AI worldwide. The technology addresses one of the industry’s biggest challenges-the rapidly rising infrastructure and service costs caused by increasingly larger AI models-by delivering a more efficient inference infrastructure.

Moreh CEO Gangwon Jo stated, “This event provided an opportunity for global customers to verify firsthand that top-tier inference performance can be achieved on AMD GPU environments,” and added “We will continue advancing our AI infrastructure software so enterprises can operate AI services as efficiently as possible, regardless of the underlying GPU platform.”

Moreh develops its own AI infrastructure engine and has expanded its end-to-end AI capabilities through its foundation LLM subsidiary, Motif Technologies, covering both AI infrastructure and foundation models. The company is also strengthening its presence in the global AI market through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies, including AMD and Tenstorrent.
