A new competitive infrastructure for algorithmic trading officially goes live with the launch of Spartan Arena, a structured, four-week public contest that places user-designed trading bots into real market conditions and ranks them on performance, stability, and market behavior. The Arena opens January 1, 2026, with qualified bots going live in three waves on January 1, January 6, and January 11.

Spartan Arena has been engineered from the ground up as a fully transparent testing environment, offering participants a way to validate their trading logic under the same conditions faced by institutional systems without requiring coding ability, hardware resources, or direct capital risk. 

The competition’s structure revolves around standardized exposure. Rather than allowing early participants disproportionate advantage, bots enter through three controlled waves, ensuring performance comparisons remain fair across different market windows. Once active, each bot trade lives, reacts to market volatility, and is ranked in real time based on fully transparent metrics. No simulations, no isolated models. The Arena evaluates execution under genuine conditions.

A major differentiator of Spartan Arena is its public visibility layer. Real-time analytics, performance charts, and behavioral tags allow viewers to follow the evolution of each strategy as it adapts to changing price action. These tags such as trend-adaptation, volatility response, or short-bias tendency offer insight into how each bot thinks and behaves, creating an analytical environment that is accessible to both seasoned professionals and casual observers. This visibility transforms algorithmic trading from an opaque practice into a transparent, spectator-friendly system.

Security remains central to the competition’s architecture. Participants never provide code, models, or proprietary files. Instead, all logic is integrated through a signal-only pipeline within an isolated Order Management System designed to prevent any access to underlying mechanisms. Participants retain full ownership of their intellectual property, and the NDA in place prior to development ensures confidentiality throughout the process. The result is a framework that offers public exposure without compromising strategy integrity.

The competition’s reward structure is built to recognize three distinct strengths within algorithmic systems: precision of performance, influence within the community, and trading volume generation. Prizes are awarded across these categories at the conclusion of the season, with final results scheduled for January 31, 2026. This recognition system encourages not only technical excellence but also engagement, consistency, and strategic identity.

By design, Spartan Arena serves as a proving ground for emerging system designers and a discovery platform for audiences seeking new approaches to automated trading. The environment merges engineering, performance evaluation, and public interaction, establishing a blueprint for how real-market competitions can be conducted without sacrificing security or fairness. Spartan Arena is available exclusively on OneBullEx.

First Care Medical Clinic, a top provider of primary and urgent care in Charlotte that families rely on for their immediate and long-term healthcare needs, today announced a strategic expansion bringing its total regional footprint to nine locations. This expansion establishes First Care as the Charlotte region's most accessible urgent care and primary care network, now serving patients across Charlotte, Concord, Rock Hill, Monroe, Gastonia, Albemarle, and Salisbury.

By growing its network, First Care Medical Clinic aims to continue to be the comprehensive "medical home" for the region, offering a seamless blend of walk-in immediate urgent care and long-term family medicine.

Removing Healthcare's Biggest Barriers

First Care Medical Clinic has built its reputation on a patient-obsessed philosophy that eliminates the obstacles preventing North and South Carolinians from receiving timely medical attention. The clinic accepts both Medicaid and Medicare at all nine locations, a rarity among urgent care Charlotte providers — ensuring that vulnerable populations have access to the same high-quality services as privately insured patients.

Beyond insurance acceptance, First Care tackles another critical barrier: transportation. The clinic arranges free rides to and from appointments for patients without reliable vehicles, addressing a social determinant of health that often forces people to delay or skip necessary medical care entirely.

"Too many people in Charlotte and surrounding communities face impossible choices between their health and their circumstances," said Obi Okwara, president at First Care Medical Clinic. "We've eliminated those barriers. Whether you have Medicaid, Medicare, or no transportation, you can access exceptional urgent care and primary care at First Care Medical Clinic."

Comprehensive Urgent Care Charlotte Network Prevents Unnecessary ER Visits

First Care Medical Clinic operates as a true "medical home," blending the convenience of walk-in urgent care Charlotte patients need for acute issues with the continuity of comprehensive primary care. This integrated model helps reduce costly emergency room visits by treating non-life-threatening conditions in a more appropriate and affordable setting.

Nine Locations Now Serving the Greater Charlotte Region

• Charlotte – Nations Ford Road
• Charlotte – Smith Corners Blvd
• Charlotte – The Plaza
• Albemarle, NC
• Concord, NC
• Gastonia, NC
• Monroe, NC
• Rock Hill, SC
• Salisbury, NC

Full-Spectrum Medical Services Under One Roof

Each urgent care Charlotte location offers an extensive range of services designed to keep patients out of hospital emergency departments:

• Urgent care services: Walk-in treatment for acute illnesses, injuries, infections, and minor emergencies
• Primary care: Ongoing management of chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease
• Behavioral health: Integrated mental health counseling and psychiatric services
• Advanced diagnostics: On-site comprehensive laboratory testing and ultrasound imaging
• Wellness and prevention: Annual physicals, vaccinations, and health screenings
• Telehealth options: Virtual visits for enhanced accessibility
• Occupational medicine: Employment health screenings, DOT physicals, certified MRO oversight, and corporate wellness services for businesses of all sizes.

Redefining Patient Access in Primary Care Charlotte Communities

With extended hours, no-appointment-necessary urgent care, telehealth capabilities, and transportation assistance, First Care Medical Clinic is setting a new standard for patient-centered healthcare delivery in North Carolina.

The nine-location network ensures that whether patients need primary care or immediate urgent care in Charlotte or in Albemarle, Concord, Gastonia, Monroe, Rock Hill, or Salisbury, they have access to comprehensive medical services within minutes of their homes.

About First Care Medical Clinic

First Care Medical Clinic is a holistic healthcare provider founded on the principle that quality medical care should be accessible to everyone, regardless of insurance type or socioeconomic status. With nine strategically located clinics serving North and South Carolina, First Care has become the trusted urgent care Charlotte provider and primary care destination for thousands of families.

A set of photographs taken on the banks of the Yangtze River in early winter has recently attracted widespread attention. In the images, hundreds of Milu forage on the river beach in the same frame as large cargo ships that pass by. “At least 400 wild Milu have gathered outside the reserve. This is the first time I have seen this in my seventeen years of tracking and photographing them.” The discovery by nature photographer Lei Gang opens a 40-year story of species recovery that spans two continents.

This rare species, once revered by ancient Chinese as the prototype of the auspicious “Kylin,” suffered a catastrophic decline in modern times. In 1900, the last wild herd at Nanhaizi, Beijing, disappeared, and the few remaining individuals ended up overseas. Because of the first scientific record by French missionary Père Armand David, the species was named Père David’s deer. “In 1898, my great-great-grandfather gathered the last 18 Milu in Europe at Woburn Abbey. That became the spark that kept the species alive,” recalled Andrew Russell, the 15th Duke of Bedford.

In 1985, China and the United Kingdom signed an agreement to bring Milu home. Twenty Milu travelled on an Air France cargo plane back to Nanhaizi. To receive these “returning wanderers,” China set aside 900 mu of land. People’s Liberation Army soldiers spent more than a month building over 3,500 meters of perimeter wall and turned pig farms and fish ponds into habitat. “To bring a species back with such precision to its last native site is unique among reintroduction projects worldwide.” Andrew Russell, who witnessed that moment, still remembers it clearly.

At the time of their return, Milu were listed by The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as extinct in the wild. An expert team then drew up a three-step conservation plan: strengthen separate subpopulations, establish new herds in other locations, and release animals into the wild after a period of rewilding. In only six years, the Nanhaizi herd grew from 20 to 203 animals. The land constraint pushed Chinese and British scientists to trace the original habitat along the Yangtze River. They finally chose the Swan Islet wetland in Shishou, Hubei province. This relic of the ancient Yunmeng Marsh is the place that the book, "Mozi," described as “full of rhinoceros, wild ox, and Milu”.

In 1993, 30 Milu were released at Swan Islet. The following year, they produced 10 calves. Then the catastrophic Yangtze flood of 1998 struck. 37 Milu were swept away, and the remaining animals were trapped on a broken embankment. “Eight of us stayed on that ‘island,’ rowing out every day with fodder. The only thought in our minds was that as long as we were here, the deer must survive.” Ranger Wang Jianfu recalled that his wife and child died when their boat capsized on the way back after bringing a meal, a loss that remains his deepest wound.

The flood, however, also created a breakthrough in the move back to life in the wild. Years of tracking found that 26 of the Milu swept away had crossed the Yangtze River and formed wild herds in places such as Sanheyuan and Dongting Lake. The 400 wild Milu now visible along the Yangtze River are their descendants. “That disaster freed the Milu from reliance on human care and allowed them to move from captivity to life in the wild,” said Lei Gang. At the same time, the 39 Milu introduced to Dafeng, Jiangsu province, in 1986 have grown into the world’s largest herd of more than 8,000 animals.

Behind the expansion of the Milu population, a genetic crisis quietly occurred. In 2010, an outbreak at Sanheyuan in Shishou killed 45 Milu in one month. Investigations showed that inbreeding had led to weak immunity. “All Milu in the world descend from one breeding pair at Woburn Abbey, so genetic diversity is extremely low,” admitted senior engineer Zhang Yuming from the Shishou Milu Reserve. In 2016, China launched a genetic exchange plan for its three main Milu populations. In 2020, 12 Milu from Beijing and 16 from Dafeng were brought together at Dongting Lake and produced a new generation.

The revival of the species has also reshaped the relationship between people and nature. “At first, I felt these ‘four unlikes’ cut off our income from bamboo shoots and cattle grazing, so I really disliked them,” said Ranger Liu Jigao from the Shishou Milu Reserve. As conservation advanced, villagers gradually changed their attitudes. When Milu’s antlers became entangled in discarded fishing nets, they came of their own accord with sickles tied to long bamboo poles to cut the deer free. When the herd approached the capacity limit, people in the surrounding communities voluntarily gave up 8,000 mu of tidal flats next to the reserve so they could be turned into habitat. “Protection of Milu has made our home more beautiful. We all feel proud,” said Liu.

Today, Swan Islet has become a storehouse of biodiversity. “This used to be a place where we never saw swans. Now thousands of migratory birds such as tundra swans and black storks gather here, and it is common to catch several Class I protected species in the same frame,” said Lei Gang, whose camera has recorded the recovery of the ecosystem. By 2025, China’s Milu population had passed 10,000 animals and spread to more than 100 sites within its historical range. IUCN has hailed its conservation as “a Chinese model for wildlife reintroduction.”

“From survivors behind iron bars to spirits of the wetlands, the fate of the Milu mirrors the awakening of humans’ ecological awareness,” Andrew Russell observed. IUCN president Razan Al Mubarak commented, “This miracle shows that government leadership, scientific support, and public participation can reshape the relationship between people and nature and bring hope for global biodiversity conservation.”

The former breach in the Yangtze levee is now covered by dense woodland and has become a new home for Milu. In his 60s, Wang Jianfu still patrols the reserve. Zhang Yuming’s monitoring team has new equipment. Lei Gang has begun to plan a third photo album on Milu. After 40 years of effort, the work has borne fruit. Père David’s deer has returned to its Chinese name, Milu, and the hoofbeats of this eastern auspicious beast now echo across ever wider wetlands and grasslands.

HostColor (HC), a global provider of managed cloud infrastructure solutions, announced that it will end 2025 and begin 2026 with 120 infrastructure points of presence (POPs) for bare metal and cloud servers spanning the United States, the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste has distinguished itself as the leading hydroxyapatite toothpaste on the market by offering the same protection as fluoride, but with zero toxic ingredients. The brand has secured the position of the No. 1-selling toothpaste on TikTok Shop (TTS), processing nearly 1 million orders to date on the app alone. This rapid adoption has propelled NOBS to a top-15 ranking within the competitive Amazon toothpaste category, signaling a massive consumer shift toward their clinically studied hydroxyapatite toothpaste.

The brand’s rise challenges traditional oral care giants by offering NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste tablets as a superior, verified alternative to legacy fluoride products. Unlike competitors that rely solely on ingredient trends or trendy marketing, NOBS has substantiated the effectiveness of its hydroxyapatite toothpaste through rigorous, independent scientific testing, establishing a new benchmark for how non-toxic oral care is evaluated.

The NOBS Difference: Validated by Independent Study

A critical differentiator for NOBS in the crowded fluoride free toothpaste market is the clinical validation of its specific hydroxyapatite toothpaste formulation. In an independent study conducted in partnership with the Department of Comprehensive Dentistry at The University of Texas, the NOBS dentifrice tablets containing 5% nano-hydroxyapatite were tested against standard fluoride protocols.

The results indicated that the NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste tablets were just as effective as sodium fluoride toothpastes in preventing tooth demineralization. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that the NOBS hydroxyapatite toothpaste significantly inhibited the loss of tooth enamel and performed exceptionally well in shielding teeth in a microbial study. This scientific confirmation provides consumers with the assurance that switching to a hydroxyapatite toothpaste does not require a compromise on cavity protection.

The Science of Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, constituting 97% of human tooth enamel. As the primary ingredient in NOBS formula, it functions through biomimetic repair rather than chemical reaction. Hydroxyapatite toothpaste works by releasing calcium and phosphate ions back into the tooth surface, filling microscopic lesions and strengthening the enamel structure.

By utilizing this mechanism, NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste tablets offer a solution for dentin hypersensitivity while remineralizing teeth. The exclusion of plastic tubes in favor of a tablet format further positions the NOBS hydroxyapatite toothpaste as a sustainable innovation, eliminating plastic waste while delivering a precise, dentist-recommended dosage in every brush.

Expertly Formulated to Remove the "Bad Stuff"

The formulation philosophy behind the NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste tablets is strictly adhering to ingredients that improve oral health without potential toxicity. Dr. Choai, the co-founder and dental expert of the brand, emphasizes the importance of ingredient transparency in modern dentistry.

"We’re here to improve oral care, one mouth at a time," says Dr. Choai. "The NOBS tabs were formulated to be free of all the 'bad stuff' found in cheaper toothpastes. There is no fluoride, parabens, or charcoal."

This strict adherence to safety has fueled the brand’s expansion into family care. NOBS Kids Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste is currently the No. 1-selling kids’ toothpaste on TikTok Shop and holds a top-10 ranking on Amazon. Parents are increasingly opting for hydroxyapatite toothpaste for their children to avoid the risks associated with fluoride ingestion, such as dental fluorosis.

Expanding the Reach of Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste

To meet the diverse preferences of its rapidly growing customer base, NOBS continues to innovate within the hydroxyapatite toothpaste category. The recent launch of Blueberry and Cinnamon flavor variants provides consumers with more palatable options, encouraging better brushing habits and wider adoption of hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets.

With nearly 2 million total orders and clinical data supporting its efficacy, NOBS has successfully transitioned hydroxyapatite toothpaste from a niche alternative to a dominant force in the mainstream oral care conversation.

About NOBS

NOBS is an oral care company dedicated to creating high-efficacy, non-toxic hygiene products. Best known for their flagship hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets, the brand focuses on sustainability, transparency, and scientific efficacy. For more information on the benefits of NOBS Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste tablets, visit nobsroutines.com.

If you're a fan of the popular survival game Rust, you've probably collected some cool in-game items — like weapon skins, clothing, or armor — that make your character look unique. These virtual items, called "skins," can even have real-world value because players trade them on platforms like Steam.

Now, imagine using those skins for a bit of extra fun: entering them into games of chance where you could win even better ones. That's the idea behind sites like Splits.gg, a dedicated online platform for Rust enthusiasts.

For anyone new to this, it's a simple and thrilling way to get more out of your Rust collection — without needing to be an expert gamer or gambler.

Rust has built a huge community of players who love building, surviving, and customizing their experience. Part of that fun extends to trading and using skins in creative ways, adding excitement beyond the main game.

What Exactly is This All About?

In the world of video games like Rust, skins are cosmetic items that change how things look in-game. They don't affect gameplay but are highly sought after because they're rare or stylish — and some can be worth real money through trading.

Platforms like Splits let players deposit their Rust skins (or even cryptocurrency) to play various entertaining games. It's like opening virtual loot boxes or competing in head-to-head challenges, where winners take home more valuable skins.

There are several sites offering this, but not all are equally trustworthy, user-friendly, or focused solely on Rust fans. That's where Splits really excels as the best rust gambling site.

Why Consider a Platform Like Splits?

For beginners, the key is finding a place that's secure, straightforward, and enjoyable. Splits ticks all those boxes.

Let's break it down.

A Welcoming and Secure Starting Point

The first time you visit Splits, everything feels clean and easy to navigate — no overwhelming clutter or complicated menus. Games are clearly displayed, and adding your skins or funds is simple.

The site prioritizes safety with strong security measures to protect your information and items, so you can focus on the fun without worries.

Waiting around isn't fun for anyone. At Splits, adding skins or funds happens instantly, and cashing out winnings is just as fast. Options include Rust skins or cryptocurrency, making it hassle-free.

• Bust: A fast-paced game where multipliers rise quickly — decide when to cash out before it "busts."
• Mines, Higher-Lower, Towers, Keno, Plinko, and more: Simple yet addictive options like avoiding hidden mines or guessing high/low cards, keeping things varied and engaging.

Everything is easy to access, no hunting around required.

Recently, at the highly anticipated China Guardian Autumn Auction, an anonymous online bidder paid the equivalent of a luxury sports car’s price to successfully acquire what has been hailed as "the most expensive skincare product in history."

This much-watched lot — a face cream and serum set — was co-created by Pechoin and Cheng Lei, an inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of Suzhou jade carving. Crafted from a single block of Hetian jade, the set was ultimately hammered down for a staggering nearly RMB 1.1 million (approximately USD 150,000) at the auction, which ranks among China’s most high-profile auction events.

Where Skincare Meets One-of-a-Kind Art

The value of this lot lies not in historical provenance, but in its unique artistry and rare materials. The set was jointly created by Chinese skincare brand Pechoin and acclaimed jade carving master Cheng Lei, who took inspiration from Pechoin’s latest high-end line, the Lingyu (Exquisite Jade) Collection.

Using advanced techniques derived from traditional imperial jade carving, Cheng Lei designed and hand-carved each container from precious Hetian jade. In Chinese culture, Hetian jade is regarded as the “emperor” of jades and honored as the “national jade.” The result is that each piece is not simply packaging, but a singular work of art.

Returning to the skincare products themselves, the design of the Pechoin Lingyu Series draws inspiration from the jade cong — a ritual vessel dating back to the Neolithic Age that symbolizes the harmony between heaven and earth. Its square exterior and circular interior embody the essence of traditional Chinese philosophy. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the product line incorporates Hetian jade powder, pearl powder, and other herbal ingredients traditionally linked to nourishment, to target skin aging concerns.

From Neolithic Rituals to Modern Anti-Aging

The design of the Lingyu Collection is inspired by the jade cong, a ritual object from the Neolithic period that symbolizes the harmony between heaven and earth. Its “square outside, round inside” form reflects core principles of Chinese philosophy.

Beyond its aesthetics, the formula incorporates Hetian jade powder, pearl, and other traditional nourishing ingredients to address visible signs of aging.

“Not Just a Product, but a Collectible Artwork”

“This may be one of the most extreme crossovers in the modern beauty world,” commented one luxury industry analyst. “Master-level jade carving gives the vessel its soul, while Pechoin’s nearly 100-year brand heritage fills it with meaning. This is no longer a simple skincare purchase — it is the acquisition of a contemporary artwork.

Positioned as Pechoin’s ultra-premium line, the ‘Oriental Gift · Lingyu’ series has been elevated to a new level through this special auction edition. By bringing together Chinese jade culture, top-tier carving craftsmanship, and modern prestige skincare, the set precisely meets collectors’ growing appetite for pieces that combine Eastern aesthetics with artisanal value.

“We are witnessing the birth of a new category,” said an art market observer. “The successful auction of this cream shows that collaborations between top consumer brands and national-level artisans can now stand alongside serious art collections. Its value rests on the reputation of the artist, the rarity of the materials, and the power of the brand.”

Whether the buyer ultimately chooses to use the cream on their skin remains unknown. What is clear, however, is that the final price has sent a strong signal to the market: in the world of high-end collectibles, exceptional artistry will always command an exceptional price.

About Pechoin

Pechoin is a Chinese skincare brand with over 90 years of history, dedicated to integrating Eastern herbal wisdom with modern technology. Its Lingyu Series, launched in 2025, not only incorporates Hetian nephrite powder and the six precious "fairy herbs" in traditional Chinese culture, but also takes the form of the jade cong — embodying traditional Chinese philosophy and skincare essence. The brand has long focused on scientific research, maintaining ongoing collaborations with international institutions such as the Medical University of Berlin and the University of Tours in France. It has claimed seven IFSCC awards over nine consecutive years and ranked among the top 15 in Brand Finance’s 2025 Global Top 50 Most Valuable Cosmetic Brands list, making it the only Chinese brand to secure a spot on the list for seven consecutive years.

Midwest Roofing has completed installation of a premium Owens Corning roof on a Love Columbia transitional housing home at no cost through its Roof Rescue community program, providing lasting shelter for families working to overcome homelessness and achieve housing stability.

The partnership between Midwest Roofing and Love Columbia represents a powerful collaboration between a local business and community organization addressing one of the region's most pressing needs: housing instability. When Midwest Roofing discovered that Love Columbia needed a new roof for one of its Transitional Housing Program homes, it presented a perfect opportunity to work together on a shared vision of community revitalization.

Addressing a Critical Community Need

Love Columbia is a community support organization with a mission to "Love People Forward" through career coaching, financial coaching, transportation coaching, and housing coaching — providing families with everything they need to discover a life of stability and purpose.

Jane Williams, executive director and co-founder of Love Columbia, described the organization's approach: "Love Columbia is seeking to transform our community through love. And what that looks like is that we come alongside our neighbors who are struggling to cover their basic expenses or create a path to the life they want and partner with them."

The need for housing assistance in the Columbia area is significant. Love Columbia receives approximately 150 calls for assistance every week, with two-thirds of those requests related to housing instability. The Transitional Housing Program provides four to nine months of supported living where families with children under the age of 18 can reset their lives, receive coaching through intentional relationships, and learn life skills to help them thrive.

Sara Stone of Love Columbia explained the program's comprehensive approach: "Families come to us from a position of housing instability and reside with us while we support them through coaching and relationships. And then as they move forward, they save 30% of their paychecks for future housing expenses to prepare them for later housing stability."

The support continues beyond the transitional period. "Once they're ready, we help them search for housing. We help advocate for them through the landlord. We help them review the lease so that they understand that. And then we stay in touch with them for a year after they move out of transitional housing, both to ensure that everything remains stable, but also to keep those relationships," Stone added.

The Significance of Stable Housing

For families experiencing homelessness, having a safe and reliable home represents far more than just physical shelter. Williams articulated what home means to the families Love Columbia serves: "A home is a place where you can be yourself, where you can relax and be yourself and know that you are safe and protected. A place where you can laugh and learn. You don't have to pretend. You can just be who you are."

Stone emphasized the profound impact these homes have on residents: "Most people that move into Love Forward homes, I've heard often them say, 'This is the nicest place that I've ever lived before.' And I think it's nice for a wide variety of reasons. It's nice because it has a new roof. It's nice because it has furniture and beds. But it's also nice because it's a place where they can come home at the end of the day and create a community, get to know their neighbors, feed their kids after school, all the things that many of us do every day without thinking about it."

The Roof Rescue Program: Changing Lives Through Community Support

Midwest Roofing's Roof Rescue program reflects the company's commitment to giving back to the local community. For every 100 Google reviews received, Midwest Roofing installs a brand new, top-tier Owens Corning roof on a home in need — completely free of charge.

“At Midwest Roofing, our mission is bigger than just roofing. Our focus is 'Changing Lives for our Families and Communities,' and we do that by guiding property owners to a superior roofing system. Our Roof Rescue program is our mission in action. A roof represents safety and peace of mind, and through the support of our past clients, we’re able to turn trust into real protection for families in need,” said Madison Plemmons, CEO of Midwest Roofing.

Williams expressed appreciation for the partnership and Midwest Roofing's approach to business: "We love Midwest Roofing. They have such a family orientation to start with, and their mission is also to see lives changed and families supported. But we also love that Midwest Roofing wants to give back, not just to provide good jobs for people who need jobs and who have skills or want to learn skills, but also through the Roof Rescue program. They are helping families that couldn't have a safe roof over their head have one."

She noted the lasting impact of this particular donation: "In our case, they put a safe roof on a home that would be used for really dozens of families to have that transitional period where they can reset."

The partnership has proven invaluable for Love Columbia's operations. "Midwest Roofing has been a phenomenal partner in helping us create a stable environment for families so we can continue to focus our efforts on the program and instead of the facilities," noted Stone.

A Roof Built to Last: Premium Owens Corning Materials

Midwest Roofing's commitment to quality extends to every Roof Rescue project. A roof is only as good as its materials and installation techniques, and the Midwest Roofing crew used only the best materials available from Owens Corning. The new roof is engineered to hold up — whatever the weather.

The installation features Owens Corning Duration® Shingles, which are rated Class 3 for impact resistance and can withstand winds up to 130 mph. This durability is essential for protecting families through severe weather conditions common to the Midwest region.

To ensure comprehensive protection, the team installed Titanium® PSU30 High-Temp Self-Adhered Underlayment, which protects sensitive areas such as penetrations, valleys, and eaves from water infiltration and also helps prevent ice dams — a critical consideration for Missouri winters.

Additional installation highlights include improved ventilation to keep the attic cooler in summer, preventing the roof from deteriorating prematurely from heat buildup. New decking was installed in rotten and damaged areas to provide a long-lasting nailing surface, and new flashing was placed around all edges and junctures for a watertight seal.

Stone underscored the fundamental importance of this work: "Stable housing starts with a roof, right? And so having a stable and solid roof over your head means everything. And that's what these families have been missing this whole time. So partnering with Midwest Roofing just allowed us to further our mission."

Creating Lasting Change Through Partnership

The families served by Love Columbia often share powerful testimonials about their experience. Williams reflected on the feedback the organization receives: "One of the things that we hear actually quite often is, 'You believed in me until I could believe in myself.' And I think for so many people, they have never had a cheerleader. They've never had a support team. And so just to have someone say, 'You can do it,' and give them those new ideas, I think that's been life changing."

World Impact Media Organization reports the signing of a framework agreement to transfer control of Kazakhmys Corporation LLC from its current management team to a new investor marks the conclusion of an era in Kazakhstan’s metallurgy sector. However, according to analysts interviewed, the transaction resembles less a standard market exit and more a strategic evacuation from an asset encumbered by critical ESG liabilities and rapidly deteriorating financial performance.

For the market, this transaction poses a fundamental question: are the billionaires divesting a going concern, or offloading a "legacy of unresolved liabilities," including multi-billion dollar debts and a systemic occupational safety crisis?

The Safety Crisis as a Legal Liability

A key factor depressing the company’s valuation remains its unprecedented fatality rate. According to consolidated data from the KazTAG agency, 64 individuals have perished at the corporation's facilities since 2010.

A stark legal collision exists between the findings of state inspectorates and actual judicial practice.

• Regulatory findings: Following the tragedy at the Zhomart mine in February 2025 (7 fatalities), the government commission officially established "100% employer liability," citing systemic violations including the absence of gas monitoring systems and the use of obsolete equipment.
• Judicial reality: Despite this, an analysis of court rulings indicates that no Csuite executive or shareholder has faced criminal prosecution. Sentences are typically handed down to line management (foremen, site supervisors) and are frequently suspended.

Corporate law experts note that this structure creates a "deferred risk" for the new owners: any reopening of investigations due to a shift in the political landscape could lead to a reassessment of beneficiary liability for past incidents.

Financial Analysis: The "Perfect Storm" of 2024

While 2023 results suggested stagnation, an analysis of the fresh audited financial statements for 2024, published on the KASE, reveals a sharp deterioration in fiscal health. The deal is proceeding against a backdrop of plunging profitability and an escalating debt burden.

Key Indicators of Asset Degradation (2023–2024):

1. Net income plunge of 42%

The primary efficiency indicator has collapsed. For FY2024, the Group’s net income amounted to 63.5 billion KZT (approximately $132 million), representing a 42.1% year-on-year decrease, down from 109.6 billion KZT in 2023.

Analysts attribute this to the evaporation of previous years' "paper profits" under the pressure of tangible operational inefficiencies.

2. Cost of sales erodes revenue

Despite maintaining sales volumes, the cost of sales rose to 981.7 billion KZT (approximately $2.05 billion) in 2024 (+3.4% year on year). The company is forced to expend increasing resources to extract and process depleting ore grades, which critically compresses margins.

3. Explosive growth in leverage

Liabilities are outpacing assets. By the end of 2024, total liabilities (long-term and short-term) reached 698.8 billion KZT (approximately $1.4 billion), a surge of more than 36% compared to the previous period. This places the company in a precarious position with respect to debt servicing.

4. Reliance on narrow markets

The revenue structure demonstrates a dangerous lack of diversification: according to the report, key export markets remain limited to China and Turkey. This concentration leaves the company vulnerable to pricing pressure from a limited pool of buyers.

Investment Dead End and the "Dividend Needle”

Critics of the current management point to a potential capital allocation imbalance that has precipitated the current situation. Over recent years, despite recorded equipment depreciation and rising accident rates, the company persisted in its policy of dividend payouts to shareholders.

According to industry observers, this resulted in chronic underinvestment in CAPEX for mine modernization. The situation has forced the company to operate at maximum strain: in 2024, maintaining production targets was achieved at the cost of rising operating expenses and, consequently, compromised occupational safety.

The Hidden Cost of the Deal: A Discount on Ruins

Given the scale of the exposed problems, industry experts believe that the final Valuation of Kazakhmys may fall significantly below market expectations based solely on ore reserves and revenue multiples.

Real valuation will inevitably face a massive discount for restoration. The new owner faces not just a business acquisition, but the financing of the previous owners' "deferred liability”:

• Comprehensive modernization: The complete replacement of ventilation systems, gas monitoring infrastructure, and the reinforcement of mine shafts will require billions of dollars in investment.
• Social license to operate: Improving working conditions and safety standards is the only condition to prevent strikes and retain qualified personnel, as regional labor churn is already accelerating.

Consequently, any rigorous due diligence process will deduct these unavoidable expenditures from the purchase price. Selling the company now is an attempt by the current shareholders to shift this colossal financial burden onto the buyer's balance sheet.

Conclusion: Exit Strategy

In this context, the asset disposal appears to be a classic Exit Strategy. The current shareholders are monetizing their equity at the precise moment when the curves of declining yield, rising leverage, and modernization requirements have intersected at a critical point.

For the 35,000-strong workforce and the state, this implies that the burden of resolving accumulated legacy issues-from upgrading infrastructure to servicing a $1.4 billion debt-will fall entirely on the shoulders of the new investor. The question of the moral and fiduciary responsibility of the departing owners for the 64 lives lost during their tenure remains outside the scope of this financial transaction.

Human Resources Mexico (HRM) has introduced the Mexico EOR Specialist AI Chatbot, a new digital tool designed to help employers navigate the complexity of Mexican labor law by providing instant, legally grounded answers to common employment and compliance questions.

Mexico’s labor framework is among the most detailed in Latin America, combining daily wage calculations, zone-based minimum wages, mandatory benefits, social security integration, and strict rules governing overtime, terminations, and worker classification. For both domestic and foreign employers, interpreting these requirements accurately is essential to avoid payroll errors, regulatory exposure, and disputes.

The need for accurate, Mexico-specific guidance has increased as more employers rely on global EOR platforms and online resources for compliance information. Mexican labor law does not always translate cleanly into generalized global frameworks, and publicly available information is often fragmented, outdated, or oversimplified. As a result, employers face a higher risk of misinterpretation when relying solely on search-based sources or LLM tools that do not reflect local legal nuances.

The Mexico EOR Specialist AI Chatbot was developed to address this challenge by offering immediate access to structured guidance based exclusively on verified Mexican legal sources. The tool draws from the Federal Labor Law, Social Security Law, applicable regulations, and constitutional provisions, allowing users to receive responses aligned with current legal standards rather than generalized or speculative interpretations.

“As an Employer of Record operating exclusively in Mexico, we see firsthand how complex labor compliance can be, especially for companies entering the market or scaling their workforce,” said Franklin Delano Frith II, General Manager / Principal of Human Resources Mexico. “This chatbot was created to provide clarity at the moment questions arise, using Mexico-specific legal foundations rather than generic assumptions.”

The chatbot is designed to support a wide range of employment topics, including hiring structures, payroll obligations, minimum wage rules, statutory benefits, social security integration, overtime limits , and termination scenarios. While it does not replace professional legal or HR advice, it serves as a first-line resource that helps employers understand how Mexican labor rules apply in practical situations.

Beyond employer use, the tool also reflects a broader shift toward transparency and accessibility in labor compliance. Clear interpretation of employment obligations supports more consistent application of labor standards, benefiting employees by reducing misunderstandings related to wages, benefits, and working conditions.

Digital tools are increasingly shaping how companies manage compliance, but HRM emphasized that accuracy and jurisdiction-specific knowledge remain critical. The Mexico EOR Specialist AI Chatbot was intentionally designed to focus on one country rather than offering generalized global responses, recognizing that Mexican labor law operates under its own legal logic and enforcement framework.

The introduction of the chatbot aligns with HRM’s ongoing efforts to improve how employment information is accessed and understood in Mexico. As labor regulations continue to evolve through wage updates, benefit reforms, and proposed changes to working-time rules, timely and reliable interpretation remains a key requirement for compliant workforce management.

The Mexico EOR Specialist AI Chatbot is available through HRM’s Website and is intended to support employers, HR teams, finance leaders, and decision-makers seeking greater clarity in managing employment obligations in Mexico.

About Human Resources Mexico (HRM)

HRM offers employer of record (EOR) services for foreign companies seeking to hire professional employees in Mexico. HRM has been the most trusted EOR in Mexico for over 16 years, with a physical office and a team of Mexican experts. HRM provides EOR services exclusively in Mexico, delivering expert, public-facing, red-carpet service to both client companies and their employees. For more information, visit www.payrollmexico.com.

If you've spent any time scrolling through your phone lately, you've probably noticed how online casino platforms have quietly slipped into mainstream entertainment. They're colorful, fast, social and increasingly polished in ways that look more like high-end gaming studios than old-school digital slot machines. What most people don't see, however, is the complex technology quietly humming beneath the surface.

Behind each flashy spin, smooth animation and instantaneous win is a suite of tools designed to keep things quick, responsive and fun. And as the demand for social casinos increases, the technologies underpinning these platforms have moved forward with almost dizzying speed. 

The Engine Under the Hood and How Modern Platforms Actually Work

One key component driving these modern platforms are high performance game engines. Every virtual casino relies on a game engine. The game engines handle everything from physics calculations to rendering various effects, such as colors, shades and even light. Over the years, developers have moved from inflexible, prebuilt systems that were rather limiting to flexible, performance-oriented engines that allow more fluid animation and impressive graphics. Every spin in a virtual slot game or every flip of a digital card is powered by this engine, calculating outcomes and rendering visuals with impressive speed.

Slot games, in particular, have benefited thanks to this. Gone are the days of choppy reels and flat visuals; now, players get vibrant themes, fluid movement and interactive bonus rounds that seem more like mini-adventures in their own rights. Platforms like Slotomania make great use of these upgraded engines, serving up huge libraries of colorful slot games that run effortlessly on everything from desktops to phones.

One of the most underappreciated tech developments behind online casinos is cloud-based syncing — instant synchronization across devices. A decade ago, switching from your laptop to your phone meant losing your place, your credits or your progress. Now everything updates in real time. Whether you're on the couch with a tablet or waiting in line with your phone, your account, achievements and rewards are right where you left them.

This seamless experience has been a huge boost to the social casino platforms, removing friction and making the whole ecosystem feel cohesive.

Boosting the Social Side with Features to Keep Players Connected

Social casinos have leaned heavily into community features and real-time interactions. Live chats, leaderboards and community events are now baked into many platforms. These features run on lightweight but powerful communication protocols that enable instant connections between thousands of users at once.

The result? A sense of community that goes well beyond spinning a few reels by yourself.  Technology has transformed solo play into a shared social activity.

New technology has also enabled smart personalization and customized experiences. Modern online casinos rely on sophisticated user experience design to create intuitive interfaces that adapt to the way people play. Be it quick spins, themed adventures or progressive challenges, the system knows your preference and adjusts what you see.

This kind of personalization makes platforms feel more welcoming and, importantly, more enjoyable. You are not sifting through endless menus trying to find "your" type of game. Instead, the platform gently guides you without feeling intrusive.

The Mobile Revolution and Why Phones Became the New Casino Floor

Mobile games are built with touch-optimized design in mind, and mobile devices are now the preferred way to enjoy social casino games. Platform designers have fully embraced this shift. The slot reels now glide naturally under your thumb. Buttons are sized just right, and animations move with subtle feedback that makes interactions satisfying without being overwhelming.

This all requires careful programming and optimization, especially as phones can have very different hardware profiles. Yet modern platforms somehow manage to feel equally polished across the board.

With the mobile revolution comes faster loading and lower data consumption. Nobody wants to wait for a game to load. Developers know this. So they've rebuilt many online casino apps to use smaller file sizes, faster compression and smart caching. Even on slower connections, games load fast and run smoothly.

This push toward performance is one of the major reasons online casinos have exploded in popularity. When something works instantly, people don't hesitate to open it.

Visual Evolution and Why Online Casinos Look Better Than Ever

Crisp animation and high-resolution assets are the new norm. Advancements in the field of graphics design and rendering techniques have completely changed the look of online casinos. Instead of flat icons and rigid frames, players now get cinematic sequences, glowing effects and layered visuals to make each spin feel dynamic.

These graphic upgrades aren't just eye candy; they help set themes, build atmosphere and create a familiar sense of excitement, even without being inside a physical venue.

Adaptive resolutions also come with the territory. Platforms now automatically adjust visual quality based on device performance. Someone on a high-end tablet gets top-tier graphics, while someone on an older phone still enjoys a smooth and crisp experience with no lag. This adaptive feature keeps the barrier to entry low and user satisfaction high.

Security and Trust are the Invisible Tech That Keeps Players Safe 

While flashy visuals get all the attention, one of the most important pieces of technology behind online casinos is data protection. Modern platforms shield user information behind several layers of security by encoding all communications. This happens instantly and silently whenever a player logs in, making the environment feel trustworthy without interrupting the experience.

Social casinos rely heavily on fairness and reliability to keep loyal audiences coming. That’s why many platforms use transparent digital systems to ensure outcomes remain consistent and tamper-proof. These structures keep play feeling fair, no matter how long someone has been on the platform.

The online casino industry has seen remarkable growth, driven by technological innovations and evolving regulations. Mobile gaming and artificial intelligence have expanded its global presence, offering players enhanced experiences.

Meanwhile, regulatory changes present both challenges and opportunities for operators worldwide. These factors are collectively shaping a dynamic landscape that is constantly adapting to new trends and demands. One notable aspect of this growth is the increasing popularity of online casino Australia, which highlights the industry's expanding reach.

Technological innovations driving online casinos forward

Technology plays a crucial role in transforming online casinos. Mobile gaming has changed how players engage with games, offering convenience and accessibility. The integration of artificial intelligence enhances user experience by providing personalized game suggestions and improving customer service. These innovations ensure that players enjoy a seamless, interactive experience.

Security advancements are also significant, with encryption protocols protecting user data and blockchain technology ensuring transparency in gaming outcomes. These technological improvements attract more players and build trust within the community. As you engage with these platforms, you experience an enhanced level of safety and enjoyment, thanks to these developments.

Global regulatory environment for online casinos

The global regulatory landscape for online casinos is diverse and complex. Different regions impose varying levels of regulation, influencing how operators conduct business. Some areas have stringent regulations to protect consumers and ensure fair play, while others offer more lenient frameworks that encourage industry growth. Navigating this environment requires adaptability and strategic planning.

Despite these challenges, opportunities exist for those willing to innovate within legal boundaries. Countries with progressive regulations often see higher levels of investment and market expansion. This trend highlights the importance of understanding local laws and compliance requirements to operate successfully in multiple jurisdictions. By staying informed about these regulatory shifts, you can better anticipate changes that may impact your engagement with the industry.

Economic contributions and entertainment trends

In recent years, Turkey has become a top choice for hair transplant surgery. Every year, thousands of international patients go to Istanbul and other major metropolitan areas to seek out affordable treatment and reliable results from skilled medical teams. 

With a strong private healthcare system, Istanbul stands out as the center of hair restoration in the country. It also has many clinics that focus on hair transplant procedures — a specificity that has helped establish clear standards in both surgical quality and patient care.

Many patients from Europe, North America, and the Middle East now travel to Turkey for hair transplant treatment. One of the main reasons is the broad availability of modern techniques such as follicular unit extraction (FUE), direct hair implantation (DHI), and Sapphire FUE.

Turkey is a great option for treatment abroad as it offers fair prices and good medical travel services. This makes it an easy and appealing choice. At the same time, the rapid growth of the hair transplant field has led to a more crowded and competitive market. Clinics can vary a lot in how they perform procedures. They also differ in how they show prices, and they may provide different levels of support to patients after surgery.

Because of this, it is important to take time to compare clinics to help you achieve safe and lasting results. Below is a list of ten notable hair transplant clinics in Turkey for 2026. This list is for your reference only.

1. Hair Center of Turkey: Hair Center of Turkey is ranked first for 2026, recognized for its structured surgical approach and strong focus on graft survival. The clinic in Istanbul focuses on Sapphire FUE, Hybrid and DHI procedures. It pays special attention to planning natural hairlines and preserving the donor area. Its organized treatment model and international patient coordination make it a key choice for overseas patients. They seek reliable and medically guided results.
2. Hermest Hair Clinic: Hermest Hair Clinic has built a solid reputation through its patient-centered approach and consistent clinical results. With a strong focus on modern hair transplant techniques, the clinic places particular emphasis on detailed planning and natural-looking outcomes. Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to the individual’s hair loss pattern, with attention given to both short-term appearance and long-term hair health.
3. Vera Clinic: Vera Clinic combines modern facilities with digital hairline design systems. The clinic offers both Sapphire FUE and DHI procedures and serves a broad international patient base.
4. Lygos Clinic: Lygos Clinic has gained recognition for its transparent consultation process and patient-specific hair design philosophy. The clinic plans treatments with attention to density balance and long-term scalp health.
5. ASMED Surgical Medical Center: ASMED, led by Dr. Koray Erdoğan, is internationally known for manual FUE procedures and a surgeon-led treatment model. The clinic limits daily operations to maintain procedural quality.
6. MedArt Hair Clinic: MedArt Hair Clinic operates one of the larger hair transplant facilities in Istanbul. With a high daily case volume, it offers extensive experience across a wide range of hair loss cases.
7. NimClinic: Founded by medical doctors, NimClinic emphasizes patient communication and digital pre-operative consultation. The clinic offers FUE and DHI procedures supported by team-based surgical workflows.
8. Smile Hair Clinic: People recognize Smile Hair Clinic for its focus on natural hairlines. They provide structured care for patients from consultation to recovery.
9. Cosmedica Clinic: Cosmedica Clinic specializes exclusively in hair restoration procedures and is particularly recognized for Micro Sapphire DHI techniques and all-inclusive treatment packages.
10. HairNeva: HairNeva is known for its structured treatment approach and personalized care. The clinic focuses on careful planning and natural-looking results, with each procedure tailored to the patient’s individual hair loss pattern.

Hair Transplant Pricing in Turkey

Hair transplant costs in Turkey vary depending on the clinic, surgical technique, and number of grafts required. Companies usually base pricing on the type of procedure.

Sapphire FUE packages typically cost between $2,000 and $3,500. Hybrid packages, which combine Sapphire FUE and DHI, usually range from $2,500 to $4,000.

DHI packages are often more expensive, averaging $3,000 to $4,500. This higher cost reflects the precision, labor, and personalized care involved in the process.

Treatment in Turkey is often cheaper than in Western Europe or North America. This is true even when you consider travel and housing costs.

About Hair Center of Turkey

Hair Center of Turkey is a specialized hair transplant clinic in Istanbul, Türkiye. The clinic focuses exclusively on hair restoration procedures, offering Sapphire FUE and DHI techniques supported by structured surgical planning and standardized clinical protocols. The Hair Center of Turkey helps international patients with a complete medical tourism package. This includes housing, transfers, language support, and follow-up care after surgery.

Metals Edge, a U.S.-based precious metals firm serving investors for more than two decades, today announced a business update expanding client support and investor education across three core areas: Gold IRA guidance, allocated precious metals storage, and insured physical delivery of gold and silver.

The update focuses on improving the investor experience from first inquiry through ongoing service, helping clients understand key decisions, including IRA eligibility, storage options, and the practical logistics involved in receiving physical metals.

Key Facts: Details of the Business Update

This business update includes improvements designed to create a clearer, more consistent experience across Metals Edge’s client workflows:

• Streamlined onboarding with more precise steps, documentation checkpoints, and improved process transparency
• Expanded investor education to clarify common questions about Gold IRAs, allocated storage, and delivery expectations
• Improved service pathways aligned to typical investor needs (retirement allocation, long-term diversification, direct ownership)
• Enhanced communication standards to reduce confusion around timelines, paperwork, storage coordination, and insured shipment logistics
• Updated website pathways to help visitors more quickly find resources related to Gold IRAs, storage, and physical delivery

What the Update Means for Metals Edge

The update strengthens Metals Edge’s ability to deliver a more standardized, service-led client experience across the full lifecycle of a precious metals purchase — from education and onboarding to storage coordination and fulfillment.

By prioritizing more precise documentation, cleaner process steps, and more accessible educational materials, Metals Edge aims to reduce friction points that can slow down decision-making or create uncertainty for investors — especially those evaluating precious metals for retirement planning, diversification, or long-term wealth protection.

Why It Matters for Customers and Stakeholders

For customers, the most meaningful benefit is clarity — knowing what to expect, understanding available pathways, and receiving straightforward explanations in plain English.

For retirees and pre-retirees, the decision to explore a Gold IRA or physical precious metals often comes with questions about custodians, eligibility, storage arrangements, timelines, and delivery. The Metals Edge update is designed to make those questions easier to answer early so that investors can move forward with confidence and with better context.

For stakeholders such as service partners and storage providers, more consistent documentation and communication standards can support smoother coordination, clearer handoffs, and more predictable service outcomes.

“Whether someone is planning for retirement or simply wants direct ownership of physical metals, we want the experience to feel organized, documented, and professional from day one,” said David Love, president of Metals Edge.

Supporting Investors Across Gold IRA, Allocated Storage, and Physical Delivery

Metals Edge supports investors pursuing different approaches to precious metals ownership, including:

• Gold IRA guidance: Many investors explore a Gold IRA as part of a broader retirement diversification strategy. Metals Edge provides education and process guidance to help clients understand common IRA-related considerations and next steps, including documentation flow, coordination steps, and service expectations.
• Allocated precious metals storage: For investors who prefer third-party storage, Metals Edge helps clients understand allocated precious metals storage — including what “allocated” means, why it matters, and how storage coordination typically works. The business update expands materials and service pathways intended to make storage decisions easier to evaluate.
• Insured physical delivery: Some clients prefer insured physical delivery of gold and silver for direct ownership. Metals Edge provides education around ordering, fulfillment expectations, shipping coordination, and communication standards to help ensure a professional experience from purchase through delivery.

International betting brand GG.BET has released a video recap of their activity this year. In 2025, the brand maintained an active presence in the sports world, became more deeply involved in esports, and ran some fantastic projects at the intersection of these two industries. The clip summarizing the brand’s top projects was posted on EGR Global.

One of the most significant projects for the brand in traditional sports was the Usyk vs Dubois II boxing match. As the fight’s official partner, GG.BET ran a global media campaign at Wembley Stadium and across major world media outlets, and created viral content from the event. In Ukraine, where the brand operates under local licensing, GG.BET played an active role in promoting football, one of the most popular sports in the country. The brand signed a three-year contract with legendary club FC Dynamo Kyiv, became an FC Polissya sponsor, and supported FC Zorya. As a result, the teams received strong financial and media backing, and their fans had the chance to find out more about their favorite teams via unique footage from the training camps, fan challenges with their favorite players, and dedicated press events.

Shortly before the GG.BET brand and Dynamo signed their three-year contract, the Kyiv club won their 30th championship and the right to wear a third star on their kit. It was this that prompted the idea of the star-studded Dynamo 3.0 press event, which was one of the most noteworthy image-building sports events of the year in the Ukrainian media space. For the event, the GG.BET brand created a short film including historic footage of the team, custom jerseys, a board game featuring big names from the club, and cocktails referencing game highlights. These are all examples of how the brand follows its strategy by creating event-themed content which goes above and beyond a sponsor’s traditional responsibilities.

GG.BET has continued to be a creative force in the esports world. In collaboration with the analytics service Esports Charts, the brand launched an interactive Esports Map, which provides users with retrospective statistics on global esports, such as data on tournaments (peak numbers of views, prize funds, etc.) and top disciplines in each region. The esports initiatives at SBC Summit Ukraine played a major role in the development of the industry in local markets. The brand organized the first “Ukraine in Esports: Myth vs Fact” discussion panel in the summit’s history, hosting a lively conversation about the problems and future of the industry with key industry players. Moreover, the GG.BET brand has put together a unique “Esports Museum,” the first exhibit of its kind, bringing together legendary trophies and the history of Ukrainian esports under one roof.

Original competitive projects have helped to blur the boundaries between sports and esports. In the CS2 “Match of LeGGends: Server Derby” show match, top teams from both industries (the current NAVI Counter-Strike team and footballers from Dynamo Kyiv) battled it out. The GG.BET brand provided participants with a unique match format including all-new game modes and special rules. Big names in Ukrainian sports, esports, and show-business commented on and analyzed the Match of LeGGends stream. This project allowed both sports and esports fans to get to know a new industry and experience another realm of competition.

The industry has recognized the efficacy of the brand’s communication strategy. In 2025, GG.BET won the Operator of the Year in CEE award at the EGR Global Europe Awards.

About GG.BET

GG.BET is an international betting brand with a presence in Europe and Asia. The betting brand is well-known for supporting major esports events. GG.BET has served as the official sponsor of top-tier tournaments such as the BLAST Premier CS2 series, PGL, DPC Stages of The International 2022, and many others. The brand is now expanding its focus into traditional sports and actively supports professional teams and events. For more information, visit gg.bet.

Rönesans Holding, has announced its role as a major private sector partner in UNICEF’s “From Learning to Earning for Youth” program. In collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, this bold initiative is set to reimagine vocational education for young people across Türkiye, equipping the next generation with the skills they need to thrive.

Bridging Ambition and Opportunity

As a pioneering partner of the initiative, Rönesans Holding will open the doors of Gaziantep City Hospital — one of Türkiye’s most advanced healthcare facilities — to 120 health vocational high school students. Here, students will step beyond the classroom and into real-world roles, gaining practical experience in software development, food and beverage services, industrial maintenance and repair, plumbing and energy systems, and industrial automation technologies. By linking education directly to the demands of the modern workplace, the program empowers Türkiye’s youth to turn their ambitions into rewarding careers.

"As UNICEF, we want to support every young person reach their full potential by gaining the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need that match with the labor market. This partnership does both — support the Ministry of National Education to provide quality and inclusive vocational and technical education; and leverage the expertise of private sector partners like Rönesans Holding to bring innovation and opportunity to young people," said UNICEF Türkiye Representative Paolo Marchi.

"Importantly, the collaboration also strengthens the system beyond the directly targeted students. Updates to the TVET curriculum, improved safety and workplace-learning standards, and expanded teacher capacity will benefit a much larger number of TVET students across Türkiye — helping ensure that quality, relevant, and future-proof skills become the norm, not the exception,” Marchi added.

“We are proud to contribute to this cross-sector initiative, which champions workforce diversity, boosts competitiveness through skills development, and helps industries build stronger foundations," said EBRD Managing Director for Türkiye and the Caucasus, Elisabetta Falcetti. "Unequal access to economic opportunities limits growth, which is why the EBRD is committed to promoting equality of opportunity across all its regions. Guided by our strategies for equality and gender inclusion, we strive, with our private sector partners, to unlock the potential of diverse workforces. I am confident this initiative will address a critical human capital challenge in healthcare, and we look forward to replicating its success in other sectors.”

Rönesans Holding’s Commitment to Sustainable Growth

Rönesans educational initiatives already include science and technical high schools, support for over 14,000 scholarship students, and a decade-long “Sustainability by Design” program, fostering university-level sustainability awareness. The company’s long-term partnership with UNICEF began in 2023, including vital collaborations in earthquake-affected regions to ensure access to quality education and psychosocial support for nearly 13,000 women and children.

“As Rönesans, we are enabling 120 students prepare for their professions under the guidance of master instructors at the Gaziantep City Hospital, which is equipped with today's most modern and new devices," said İpek Ilıcak Kayaalp, chair of the board of Rönesans Holding. "These students will receive training at our hospital four days a week within the framework of the program. This project is not only an educational initiative, but a pioneering model of collaboration between the private sector, international organizations, and the public sector in Türkiye — and one that could serve as an example globally."

Ilıcak Kayaalp continued, “The private sector contributes production and experience, the public sector undertakes the regulatory role, and UNICEF provides the perspective of social benefit. The combination of these three forces creates impacts that could not be achieved individually. Because our greatest goal, is to offer a future filled with hope, opportunity and confidence to young people. We will continue to dedicate all our efforts to ensuring that young people who we entrust with our future grow into inquisitive, productive individuals who adapt to the demands of the age.”

Shaping Tomorrow

Türkiye faces a critical challenge: almost one in four young people aged 15–24 are not in education, employment, or training. The “From Learning to Earning for Youth” program tackles this head-on, preparing youth for the fast-changing world of work by creating safe, supportive environments and closing the skills gap. Training will be delivered by hospital staff who have received specialized instruction, ensuring students learn from the best while supporting gender equality and diversity in the workplace.

Rönesans Holding is committed to expanding its support for youth education, working closely with UNICEF to bring the “From Learning to Earning for Youth” model to new business sectors and communities. The company remains steadfast in its investment in Türkiye’s youth, deepening partnerships with universities and civil society to unlock even more opportunities for the next generation.
