Each accessory is custom-engineered and extensively tested to deliver seamless compatibility with the DJI OSMO 360, ensuring secure attachment and reliable stability in varied conditions. The line has also earned favorable reviews from third-party testers, with some tech reviewers naming TELESIN's solutions as editor picks for their performance and affordability.

A Classical Catholic Vision

Founded under the Chesterton Schools Network, Chesterton Academy of St. Finbar offers a classical curriculum that integrates a broad liberal arts education with the cultivation of Intellect, Character and Spirituality — all firmly rooted in the Catholic faith. There is a strong emphasis on the cultivation of Christian Virtue and an appreciation of beauty through four years of study in literature, history, philosophy, theology, Latin, mathematics, science, sacred music, and the fine arts. Daily Mass, retreats, weekly Adoration, sacramental formation, and a sense of community feature centrally in student life.

Message from the Founders

“We believe Charleston’s children and community can benefit richly from a thoroughly classical and joyfully Catholic education,” explained Head of School Dr. Michele McCoy. Through Great Books study and virtue-formation, CASF seeks to raise young men and women to become saints, scholars, and joyful leaders. Michael MacKinnon, founder and chairman of the board, emphasizes this initiative as a parent-led mission to bring the Chesterton model of joyful learning to families in the Lowcountry.

Student Life & Activities

The school community is organized into a traditional house system, modeled after Oxford and Cambridge colleges, fostering leadership, camaraderie, and opportunity for service. Our sports offerings will begin through our physical education program and will offer fencing, archery and formal dance. Formal sports will take shape as students and parents express interest in forming competitive teams. Clubs will include the CASF Podcast, yearbook, French, Mandarin, debate, and service outreach.

Orientation & First Day Schedule

Student Orientation will be held August 6–8, 2025, allowing students to meet faculty, become acquainted with curriculum, and prepare for the school year. The first regular school day begins Monday, August 11, 2025, launching the academy’s full academic program.

Prospective students who are currently in 8th or 9th grades along with their families are invited to attend admissions events such as Student Shadow Days and Open House information sessions that are scheduled throughout this fall for the 2026–27 school year.

Chesterton Academy of St. Finbar, inspired by Saint Pope John Paul II, is steadfast in its commitment to provide a classical liberal arts education infused with Catholic faith and morals. Our dedication to this mission has been unyielding since our inception, and we welcome Catholic families in Charleston, SC, to join us in this educational journey. For more information on how we can be a part of your child's academic and spiritual formation, please visit www.stfinbar.org.

". . . But I really have always thought a parish with a school has a real, a certain energy and a joy that spreads right. And it makes the faith feel more alive for the parishioners themselves. It's like having an extra heart. You're getting more oxygen with that, right? So, for us, you know, the presence of the Chesterton Academy here at the Cathedral campus, and I really believe we'll just do that same thing, help energize the whole parish. There's a certain excitement, you know, for life, because there's something about that age group, especially, that just gives life. Now, I was thrilled, also, to learn that the students have to go to Mass every day, Not have to, they get to go to mass every day." — Very Rev. Gregory B Wilson, V.G., Diocese of Charleston

Unlisted, a real estate technology company on a mission to unlock the full potential of every home, today announced that Melissa Frantz Ellerman of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty has published an agent profile on the platform, representing the 75205 and 75225 ZIP codes.

Unlisted’s technology is designed to allow agents, buyers, and homeowners to see beyond the MLS. Agents have long searched the tax records to identify homes for clients when nothing on the MLS worked. Unlisted elevates that process and makes the data organized and searchable for everyone.

The platform utilizes publicly available real estate data to create a digital property profile for every home in the country. The real estate records can be quickly searched and organized into curated lists of homes that fit a buyer’s criteria. While the buyers and their agents realize the homes are not for sale, it provides a list of properties they may approach about a potential offer.

“Unlisted opens up new possibilities for people who might not see themselves in the traditional market,” says Frantz Ellerman. “Whether someone’s casually browsing or actively planning a move to the Dallas area, I’m here to offer guidance, insight, and support every step of the way.”

The agent profiles are designed to highlight a local agent with a track record in that neighborhood and someone with niche expertise that can truly offer guidance. Unlike other online platforms, the agents for each ZIP code on Unlisted are vetted and must be able to offer true value to a prospective buyer or seller. The ethos of Unlisted is different from other real estate websites, the platform is designed to offer information and connection. Frantz Ellerman’s deep understanding of the Dallas market makes her the ideal partner for Unlisted.

“We’re excited to welcome Melissa Frantz Ellerman as our Unlisted partner in the 75205 and 75225 ZIP codes,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Melissa brings all the qualities that align perfectly with Unlisted’s mission. We’re confident her involvement will help unlock meaningful opportunities for both buyers and homeowners in her market.”

About Unlisted

Unlisted unlocks the potential in homes that aren’t for sale—yet. The platform empowers buyers to join a Waitlist for homes they love, even if they’re not on the market. At the same time, homeowners build a private list of interested buyers, giving them a head start if and when they decide to sell. Unlisted also gives homeowners control over how their property is presented online, with a customizable profile that highlights the home’s best features and attracts more interest. With more time, more transparency, and more connection, Unlisted offers a more human way to explore real estate—one that leads to better outcomes for everyone.

What does it mean to lose a homeland—and to rebuild a life in its absence? Author Maritza Durán explores this in her debut novel "From the Dictators’ Shadows: A Family’s Journey." A powerful story based on real events, Durán blends memoir and historical fiction, inviting readers into the world of a family caught between patriotism and persecution—celebrated as heroes of a young republic one day, labeled enemies of the state the next.

Through their story, Durán explores the emotional and generational impact of political violence, forced migration, and survival—with deep resonance for today’s global crises.

"This novel is more than a family saga. It’s a mirror held up to our current moment— a nation slides into authoritarianism, human rights erode, brothers and fathers disappear, and stories like these risk being silenced,” Durán says. “This is not just a story of the past, it is an ongoing story of families like mine, seeking safety, freedom and dignity."

A Family Fractured by Dictatorship

The Burgos Beltrán family’s story begins in the late 1800s, as the island nation of Puerto Rey claims its independence. Born into the hopeful beginnings of a new republic, six spirited siblings come of age in a moment of promise and political possibility.

But when a violent dictatorship takes hold, the family is torn apart. The brothers stay behind to resist one of the most brutal regimes in Latin American history. The sisters flee to North America, where they face exile, grief, and reinvention as immigrants in New York City.

Durán lays bare the emotional toll of families forced to flee under threat of state-sanctioned violence—while honoring the strength it takes to begin again. From the Dictators’ Shadows is an immigrant story of resilience, bravery and hope.

A Multigenerational Tale Told by Women

Told through the voices of three women reflecting on their family’s legacy, the novel spans revolution, failed coups, devastating parental loss, political assassination, mental illness, and migration. Yet amid the hardship, it illuminates the quiet triumph of rebuilding lives across oceans.

In the U.S., the Burgos Beltrán sisters become more than survivors—they become role models. As entrepreneurs, mothers, and mentors, their story is a testament to the overlooked strength and contribution of immigrant women in America. 

Why This Story Matters Now

"From the Dictators’ Shadows" is a story told in fiction and stitched together with historical truths. It represents the experience of Durán’s family and many families throughout Latin America who continue to live through violent political turmoil.  

Around the world—and here in the U.S.—thousands of immigrants, many fleeing regimes like the one that shadows this story, continue to face detention, discrimination, and danger in the very places they hoped would protect them.

This novel gives voice to those who have been assassinated, silenced, or displaced by corrupt governments—and all those who stay behind to resist. It reminds us that migration is not just a policy issue—it is a deeply human story of love, loss, courage, and dignity.

"From the Dictators’ Shadows" is available to order now on Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble and Amazon. For more information about Maritza Durán and her debut novel, visit fromthedictatorsshadows.com.

About Maritza Durán

Maritza Durán is a writer and researcher whose work explores the impacts of global migration. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in New York City, shaped by stories of Caribbean exile and North American reinvention. In her debut novel, "From the Dictators’ Shadows: A Family's Journey," Durán blends personal history, archival research, and imagination to illuminate the legacy of political violence—and the resilience of families forced to start over. She writes to give voice to those silenced by dictatorship, to honor the women who raised her, and the men who stayed behind to resist.

In a landmark legal triumph, the Apertum Foundation and its senior advisor Josip Heit have decisively defeated the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB), one of the most formidable regulators in the United States. This resounding victory confirms that neither the Apertum token nor the DAO1 decentralized finance (DeFi) platform constitute securities under applicable securities laws, thereby dismantling major regulatory barriers and heralding a new golden age for DeFi innovation.

Represented by the world-renowned Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP—the largest business litigation law firm globally with an 86% success rate across 2,500 tried cases and nearly $80 billion recovered—the Apertum Foundation and Mr. Heit aggressively challenged and triumphed in a major securities lawsuit filed by the Texas regulator. The TSSB has now dismissed its case against the Apertum Foundation and Mr. Heit, confirming the legitimacy of Apertum and DAO1 in one of the toughest regulatory jurisdictions worldwide.

This watershed decision unleashes the full potential of the Apertum ecosystem, including its DAO1 DeFi platform and native $APTM token. Apertum is now poised for explosive growth, driving forward the next-generation blockchain revolution. The $APTM token itself surged over 140% in July alone amid this breakthrough, signaling the dawn of a new chapter in digital asset innovation and adoption.

Apertum is already recognized as a fast-growing, top-tier Layer-1 blockchain within the Avalanche ecosystem. According to leading industry reports, it ranks among the Top Layer-1 projects of 2025, backed by exceptional on-chain metrics despite launching recently in Q1 2025. The Apertum blockchain is distinguished by its unparalleled speed, scalability and ease of use—outperforming 98% of competing chains in the crypto industry.

The Apertum ecosystem is fully integrated with CoinMarketCap, a platform attracting over 340 million monthly visitors, and its token trades on major global exchanges including MEXC, BitMart, P2B and LBank, supporting over 80 million active traders worldwide. The community boasts over 55,000 active blockchain users, with more than $3.5 million worth of tokens burned and $25 million worth of $APTM mined and distributed through Apertum’s decentralized finance platform.

The Light System (TLS), a U.S.-based bioenergetic wellness technology company, has officially launched its international awareness initiative, introducing a proprietary system designed to support the body’s natural energetic alignment. Developed over three decades of research, TLS offers a non-invasive, frequency-based approach that may support mental, emotional, and physical well-being by generating a highly coherent scalar field using a multi-sensory fusion of light, color, sound, and motion.

At the core of The Light System is what the company refers to as “photonic collision”—a method by which two opposing screens emit programmed light waves that intersect in the center of the system. This intersection creates a visually immersive field that combines sacred geometric patterns, flowing motion, color therapy, and affirmations. The goal, according to TLS, is to produce a powerful energetic environment that may help balance the body’s biofield and promote a state of internal coherence.

While The Light System makes no medical claims or guarantees, many users report experiencing a greater sense of peace, improved sleep, emotional balance, stress relief, and even enhanced mental clarity after using the system. According to the company, the platform is designed to be fully passive—users simply sit or recline within the system’s immersive space, allowing the technology to work on an energetic level.

“We’ve heard from individuals who say they walk away from a TLS session feeling recharged, focused, and more connected,” said Jarrod, chief operating officer of The Light System. “Our goal is to offer a supportive space for people to explore wellness through energy and frequency.”

The Light System technology comes in several scalable formats. From the compact, four-unit “Pyramid” model designed for smaller rooms to larger-scale environments like “The Journey,” “The Dream,” and “The Awakening,” each system offers up to sixteen pre-programmed energetic sessions. These include frequencies associated with intentions like calmness, rejuvenation, balance, and clarity—each rooted in sound, light, motion, and geometric harmony.

Sessions are currently available at select partner locations, with systems available for purchase through the company’s website. TLS emphasizes that the experience is not intended as a treatment for any condition, but rather as a complementary practice for those looking to explore new dimensions of personal wellness.

This launch represents the beginning of a broader mission to bring energy-based wellness tools into the mainstream—grounded in responsible messaging and respectful of individual experience.

Mria Labs, founded by experienced Atlassian Marketplace professionals, has officially entered the CRM market with the announcement of Mria CRM — the first customer relationship management solution built natively for Jira. Designed to close a long-standing gap for Jira users, Mria CRM brings customer management directly into the platform where teams already manage product, delivery and support. The company has released a visual preview of the core modules and confirmed that the product is planned for release in fall 2025.

A Long-Standing Gap in Jira

For years, Jira has been the go-to platform for teams managing projects, product development and support operations. However, it has lacked a true CRM system that allows sales, product and delivery teams to work in one unified space. Teams often attempt to customize Jira for lead and deal tracking or rely on standalone CRM tools that break the connection with day-to-day project work.

Mria Labs, with deep expertise in the Atlassian ecosystem, aims to close this gap. The company is building a native CRM solution that works where teams already work, with no need for syncs, external integrations or complex workarounds.

From Experience to Solution

Mria CRM is the result of years of working inside the Atlassian ecosystem and observing how teams push Jira beyond its original scope. While Jira is central to how many organizations manage delivery, support and internal collaboration, it has never offered a native way to manage customers. The need for a CRM that works directly in Jira has surfaced repeatedly, not just as a feature request, but as a structural gap that affects how teams sell, deliver and retain business. Mria CRM is being developed to close that gap with a fully native solution designed specifically for cross-functional teams operating in Jira every day.

“We’ve been part of the Atlassian ecosystem for years. We saw teams trying to use Jira as a CRM, and we did the same. We customized it, extended it, hit the same limits and ended up switching to a standalone system that broke the connection between teams. That’s what we’re fixing. With Mria CRM, we’re building what should have existed all along: one system where product, sales, and engineering work together as one team, inside Jira, driving revenue and customer success,” said Anton Storozhuk, CEO and founder of Mria Labs.

Mria CRM: A CRM That Is Jira

Mria CRM is being developed as a Jira-native system to eliminate silos and sync issues between departments. It enables users to manage leads, deals, contacts and company relationships directly inside Jira, alongside support tickets and delivery tasks. The interface is designed to follow Jira’s native experience, reducing the need for training or platform switching.

The product is being developed on Atlassian Forge, ensuring deep native integration, consistent performance and adherence to Atlassian’s latest architecture standards.

The first visual preview showcases four core modules:

1. Leads – to capture and qualify incoming opportunities
2. Deals – to manage sales pipelines and progress
3. Contacts – to track individual stakeholders and relationships
4. Companies – to understand the full picture across accounts

See the first Mria CRM preview: Visual Overview of Mria CRM Core Modules

Why a CRM in Jira?

Mria CRM’s positioning is clear: one account, one system, one team. Instead of switching between tools and managing scattered data, teams can keep all customer and project information inside Jira. This reduces complexity, improves collaboration and allows B2B organizations to close deals faster and retain customers without losing context between departments.

“Sales, product and engineering should not operate in silos. Our goal with Mria CRM is to create a single environment where customer success is not just a handover between teams but a shared effort, supported by one tool,” Storozhuk added.

The Industry Context for Mria CRM

In recent years, major work management platforms like ServiceNow and monday.com have entered the CRM space. Though not traditional CRM vendors, they recognized the growing need to unify customer data with operational workflows. These moves reflect a broader shift in the market: CRM is no longer seen as a standalone tool but as an essential layer within the systems teams already use to work and collaborate.

Team collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Slack are also deepening their CRM integrations, signaling rising demand for cross-functional alignment. As customer relationships span sales, support, delivery and finance, the most effective CRM tools are being built directly into platforms where that work already happens.

Mria CRM brings customer relationship management into Jira, the platform of choice for managing product delivery, support and core operations. Atlassian serves over 300,000 customers in more than 200 countries, and more than 40% of Fortune 500 companies rely on Jira Service Management as part of their IT and service delivery stack.

While others are extending into CRM to close gaps between service and customer workflows, Jira already stands as an operational cornerstone for teams worldwide. Mria CRM completes that platform by embedding CRM directly in Jira. It enables product, sales and engineering teams to collaborate in one system, with no added tools and no loss of context.

Mria CRM Launch Plans

Mria CRM is currently in development, with the release confirmed for fall 2025. Mria Labs continues to share product updates through its website and blog, providing early insight into the progress and direction of the solution. A subscription for Mria CRM launch updates is now available, and the team is actively engaging with early subscribers to share planned capabilities and gather input ahead of the release.

About Mria Labs

Mria Labs is the team behind Mria CRM, the first truly Jira-native CRM designed to connect sales, product and delivery teams in one system. Founded in 2025 by Anton Storozhuk, founder of Alpha Serve (acquired by Tempo Software in 2024), the company brings together senior professionals with proven experience in building, scaling and marketing Atlassian Marketplace apps.

The team is united by a clear goal: to build a CRM that works as a natural part of Jira. Every decision, from product architecture to go-to-market strategy, is shaped by deep experience with Atlassian products and a strong focus on the real needs of Jira teams. More about the company: mriacrm.com/about-us

With bitcoin surpassing the $120,000 mark in July, the cryptocurrency market has gradually entered a period of relative stability. Prices of major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum have steadied, investor confidence has strengthened, and the regulatory environment is becoming increasingly clear. Against this backdrop, cloud mining, a low-barrier, highly efficient mining method, is experiencing a new wave of development opportunities. As a leader in the industry, Paladin Mining, leveraging its technological advantages and service innovations, is becoming a key force driving the continued development of cloud mining.

Market Stability Drives Long-Term Investment

As the cryptocurrency market matures, more and more individual and institutional investors are shifting from short-term speculation to long-term holding and infrastructure development.

Today, American Kratom Association (AKA) issued a formal policy advisory to the attorneys general in every state that has enacted a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), urging them to take immediate enforcement action against the unlawful sale of highly dangerous 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products that are misleadingly marketed as kratom.

This action comes in response to the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to recommend that 7-OH be placed into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, citing overwhelming evidence of its opioid-like effects, high abuse potential, and serious risks to consumer safety.

“Let’s be clear: 7-OH is not kratom,” said Mac Haddow, senior fellow on public policy for the American Kratom Association. “It is a chemically altered, synthetic opioid analogue that hijacks the reputation of natural kratom to sell highly addictive and dangerous products to unsuspecting consumers. These are not traditional botanical kratom products — they are designer opioids with a new label.”

7-OH Sellers Exploiting Public Confusion

The urgency of enforcement is amplified by recent reckless and disturbing communications from 7-OH product manufacturers, who are advising distributors not to remove these dangerous products from shelves despite the impending scheduling:

"100% no reason to take 7-OH off shelves. Watch sales soar after this. You couldn’t buy this kind of advertising!" — leading 7-OH manufacturer

This brazen statement shows the callous disregard of bad actors for public health and safety. It is a direct attempt to capitalize on regulatory confusion while putting lives at risk.

Every Sale Puts a Consumer at Risk

The FDA has confirmed that 7-OH acts as a full mu-opioid receptor agonist, producing effects more potent than morphine, including respiratory depression, dependence, withdrawal, and overdose. Yet, these products are being marketed and sold over the counter in gas stations, smoke shops, and online platforms under the misleading guise of being kratom.

“Every 7-OH sale is a public health time bomb. Consumers have no idea they’re buying a synthetic opioid, and the consequences can be fatal,” said Haddow. “State attorneys general must act immediately to enforce existing laws under the KCPA and remove these products from the market.”

KCPA Provides the Legal Tools

While several states have enacted the KCPA, products that exceed safe 7-OH thresholds — or contain synthetically derived 7-OH — are explicitly illegal based on consumer protection laws designed to protect consumers from marketing deception. The AKA advisory urges attorneys general to use their statutory authority to:

• launch targeted enforcement investigations.
• test suspect products for unlawful 7-OH content.
• seize products that violate KCPA restrictions.
• protect consumers with immediate public alerts.

Federal Action Must Be Reinforced at the State Level

With the DEA now considering the FDA’s scheduling recommendation, state action is more important than ever to protect consumers in the interim period.

“The FDA has done its job. Now it’s time for state enforcement agencies to do theirs. We are calling on every attorney general to step up and protect their citizens before any life is lost,” concluded Haddow.

About American Kratom Association (AKA)

American Kratom Association (AKA) is a consumer-based, nonprofit organization, focused on furthering the latest science as guidance for kratom public policy. AKA works to give a voice to millions of Americans by fighting to protect their rights to access safe and natural kratom.

Such feedback drives the company's continued expansion and holistic service delivery.

Simple, Stress-Free Onboarding

Starting a fire watch engagement is straightforward and fast. Fast Fire Watch Company’s proven three-step process ensures prompt, reliable protection:

1. Engage Dispatch: Clients connect via 1‑800‑899‑7524 or the online quote form. Live operators gather project details and outline costs.

3. Patrol & Report: The guard patrols per OSHA and NFPA standards, logs activity and maintains communication until the issue is resolved or fire systems are fully reinstated.

“We designed our operations around speed, compliance and clarity,” added COO Miller. “Clients want protection choices that don’t require micromanaging—and they get exactly that with our system.”

Botanic Tonics today commended the Food and Drug Administration's announcement to recommend scheduling synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products, calling the action a critical step toward protecting consumers from dangerous opioid-like substances masquerading as natural botanical products.

"The FDA's clear distinction between synthetic 7-OH concentrates and natural leaf kratom demonstrates the importance of science-based regulation," said Cameron Korehbandi, CEO of Botanic Tonics. "This action protects consumers while preserving access to the traditional botanical ingredients that millions of Americans rely on for their daily routines."

Natural Leaf Kratom vs. Synthetic 7-OH: The Critical Difference

Botanic Tonics has consistently advocated for regulations that distinguish between authentic kratom leaf products and synthetic derivatives. The company's feel free CLASSIC contains only natural leaf kratom with nearly undetectable levels of 7-OH, as confirmed by third-party laboratory analysis.

"Our products contain trace amounts of 7-OH that occur naturally during the traditional drying process — levels that are dramatically different from the concentrated synthetic products now under FDA scrutiny," explained Korehbandi. "The difference between natural leaf kratom and synthetic 7-OH concentrates represents a night and day distinction in terms of safety and consumer protection."

Supporting Evidence-Based Policy

The FDA's action aligns with Botanic Tonics' long-standing position opposing the sale of isolated 7-OH products. The company has consistently maintained that:

• Authentic kratom products do not contain 7-OH above 1% of the alkaloid fraction
• Products exceeding this threshold are likely adulterated with synthetic compounds
• The high opioid receptor affinity of concentrated 7-OH raises significant safety concerns

"We've been advocating for exactly this type of regulatory approach — one that protects consumers from synthetic derivatives while preserving access to traditional botanical ingredients with centuries of safe use," said Korehbandi.

Commitment to Consumer Protection and Transparency

Botanic Tonics manufactures all products in its FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, using only natural leaf kratom that undergoes rigorous testing for purity and potency. The company's recent clinical trial, published in the medical journal Cureus, demonstrated the safety profile of feel free CLASSIC when used as directed.

The company advocates for comprehensive regulatory standards that include:

• Clear definitions distinguishing kratom leaf from synthetic derivatives
• Banning synthesized kratom compounds
• Limiting naturally-occurring 7-OH content to 1%
• Implementing robust labeling standards with appropriate warnings
• Requiring vendor and product registration

Looking Forward

"Today's announcement validates our commitment to quality, transparency, and consumer education," concluded Korehbandi. "We will continue working with regulatory authorities and industry partners to ensure consumers have access to safe, properly regulated botanical products while protecting them from dangerous synthetic alternatives."

Botanic Tonics continues to invest in clinical research, quality control measures, and consumer education initiatives to support the responsible use of traditional botanicals.

About Botanic Tonics

Botanic Tonics is a plant-based, herbal supplement company headquartered in Broken Arrow, OK. Established in 2020, we produce kava-centric tonics under our feel free brand. Our signature product, feel free CLASSIC, is crafted with ancient functional plants to provide mood lift, chilled energy, and enhanced focus.

BJMINING, a leading cloud mining platform, today announced its plan to transition all operations to 100% renewable energy by the end of 2025, enhancing security and sustainability in cryptocurrency mining. This initiative addresses the growing demand for eco-friendly practices amid the crypto market's $3 trillion valuation and positions BJMINING as a top trusted provider.

The transition involves partnerships with renewable energy providers to power over 60 data centers worldwide, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining 99.9% efficiency. This builds on BJMINING's existing green practices, where 90% of energy is already renewable, and integrates with AI-optimized mining for cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, DOGE, SOL, and XRP on BJMINING's platform.

"This move reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation," said BJMINING's CEO William Thomas Margerison. "As regulations like EU MiCA evolve, we're ensuring users benefit from secure, green mining without hardware hassles."

BJMINING serves over 5 million users, offering flexible cloud mining contracts with daily settlements, zero barriers (including a $15 new user bonus), and top security from leading providers. For example, contracts include:

• WhatsMiner M50S+: $100 investment, 2 days, total revenue $106
• WhatsMiner M60S++: $600 investment, 7 days, total revenue $652.50
• Avalon Miner A1566: $1,200 investment, 15 days, total revenue $1,434
• And higher-tier options up to $173,000 with bonuses

These contracts feature automatic settlement, full principal return, and renewal options, with average ROIs of 120–150%, now further enhanced by the renewable energy shift for long-term sustainability.

With this announcement, BJMINING continues to lead in cloud mining, combining DeFi strategies and referral incentives to drive user growth.

Botanic Tonics applauds the FDA's targeted regulatory action announced July 29, 2025, against concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) products.

We also seek to make our position clear and unequivocal following inaccurate media coverage that has confused consumers about the distinction between natural leaf kratom and synthetic concentrates.

The Daily Mail’s July 29, 2025 article about the FDA’s 7-OH announcement contains key factual inaccuracies that conflate two very different categories of products. By including Botanic Tonics’ product name and imagery alongside coverage of concentrated 7-OH substances facing potential federal scheduling, the article misrepresents both the nature of our offerings and the intent of the FDA’s action.

As FDA Commissioner Makary stated, the agency is “not focused on natural kratom leaf products,” which contain only “trace amounts” of 7-OH, in contrast to the “semisynthetic 7-OH extracts” used to make new and more potent formulations.

Botanic Tonics’ feel free CLASSIC is made solely from noble kava root and natural kratom leaf.

Misleading coverage like this not only spreads confusion in the marketplace but also risks undermining the FDA’s own efforts to distinguish between traditional plant-based products and synthetic derivatives.

Worksol Group, a leading European HR and recruitment company, today announced the launch of its Global Talent Expansion Strategy, aimed at delivering skilled labor from Asia and Latin America to companies across Europe. This bold initiative positions Worksol as a premier partner for employee leasing, temporary work, and staff leasing services across the continent, with a specific focus on sourcing employees from the Philippines, employees from Indonesia and employees from Colombia.

This announcement comes at a crucial moment, as Polish employers are struggling to meet growing demand for labor in key sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. Worksol Group CEO Michael Solecki, in his recent speech at the European Economic Congress 2025 in Katowice, emphasized the need for cross-border HR solutions, citing the need to simplify hiring mechanisms to support Poland's economic growth.

“We are not just looking for personnel for employers who urgently need them – we are looking 15 to 20 years into the future, said Solecki. "Our vision and strategy is to support Poland's economic growth. We believe that we are contributing to the prosperity of the Polish economy, because the smooth integration of the best specialists from countries with high potential, where labor markets meet the unmet needs of Poland and Europe for labor, is a good option for our country. However, of course, the first priority must be to meet the labor needs of our own citizens, and foreigners who want to make a positive contribution to the Polish economy via legal employment must undergo the necessary screening before their arrival so that Polish society remains safe and comfortable.”

The strategy includes a strengthened network of international recruitment hubs and new partnerships across Asia and Latin America. Worksol’s operations have already seen a significant increase in placements of employees from Asia, particularly employees from the Philippines and employees from Indonesia, and in recent months, an emerging demand for employees from Colombia, known for their strong work ethic and skills.

Founded in 2009, Worksol Group has established itself as a trusted partner in the recruitment industry, employee leasing, offering full-cycle HR services including staff leasing, temporary work, visa and relocation support, and workforce management. At the beginning of its activity, Worksol Group focused on providing employees from Ukraine, but over time and with dynamic changes in the Polish HR market, it expanded its services. The company operates in compliance with EU labor directives and has become a key player in mobilizing third-country workers to fill critical vacancies across Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond.

About Worksol Group

Worksol Group is a trusted international recruitment and HR solutions company headquartered in Kepno, Poland. Established in 2009, it specializes in sourcing, recruiting, and relocating skilled and unskilled workers from across the globe — particularly from Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America — to meet the labor market demands of employers across Poland and the European Union.

With over a decade of experience in the industry, Worksol Group has built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and efficient service delivery. It supports companies in industries such as manufacturing, construction, logistics, agriculture, hospitality, and healthcare.
