Bold Reuse, a leader in reusable packaging systems for venues, is launching a two-month pilot program deploying radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology in partnership with Avery Dennison (NYSE: AVY), a global materials science and digital identification solutions company. The initiative will bring real-time visibility and smart tracking to monitor the entire lifecycle of reusable cups — from distribution and return to wash cycles and end-of-life.

The pilot will be deployed at Bold Reuse’s Portland-based wash-hub and two of Portland’s major league sports venues: The Moda Center, home of the Portland Trail Blazers, and Providence Park, home of the Portland Timbers and Thorns, with the combined locations reaching over 2 million people a year.

This pilot goes beyond basic inventory tracking — it represents a critical step forward in advancing smarter, data-informed reuse systems. With RFID technology, Bold Reuse and its partners are unlocking item-level metrics that reveal how cups move through the system, where losses occur, and how user behavior impacts return rates. These insights are key to driving operational efficiency, reducing waste and enhancing the fan experience. Ultimately, the data gathered through this pilot will shape more effective reuse strategies and support broader sustainability goals across sports and entertainment venues.

“This pilot is about unlocking operational intelligence at scale,” said Jocelyn Quarrell, CEO of Bold Reuse. “With RFID, we can track every single cup throughout its journey, giving our partners transparency and performance metrics to make reuse as seamless and scalable as possible.”

Through fixed RFID readers installed at key points within the service center, and handheld devices used at partner venues, the pilot will passively collect key data, including:

• Cup return vs. loss rates
• Average number of wash cycles per cup
• Inventory dwell times
• % of cups retired, rewashed or damaged

Data is crucial for the success of reusable products and underpins the reuse economy. The data will allow Bold Reuse to optimize its service center operations, reduce waste, and extend the life of its products — ultimately making reuse more cost-effective and sustainable for its customers.

“Bold Reuse is paving the way for smarter reuse systems,” said Michael Colarossi, head of enterprise sustainability, Avery Dennison. “Together, we’re delivering a scalable, item-level traceability solution that enables real-time accountability and transparency in reuse. This is made possible through our unique combination of materials science expertise — specifically in performance adhesives — and our deep knowledge of RFID technology. We ensure items can withstand repeated wash cycles without compromising RFID functionality, empowering consumers to reuse items again and again.”

Partner Perspectives

Moda Center

“At Moda Center, we’re proud to already operate a successful reusable cup program through Rip City Reuse, which has eliminated more than 917,000 single-use cups to date — and we’re on track to hit 1 million cups diverted this year,” said Brittany Saulsbury, sustainability operations manager at the Portland Trailblazers. “With this RFID pilot, we’re excited to enhance the system by gathering deeper data insights to help us further optimize the fan experience and continue driving waste reduction at Moda Center.”

Providence Park

“We’re always looking for ways to raise the bar on sustainability at Providence Park, and this RFID pilot with Bold Reuse is an exciting leap forward,” said Ashley Highsmith, chief operations officer, Portland Timbers. “It’s not just about reducing waste — it’s about embracing innovation to create smarter, more efficient systems. With this technology, we’re gaining powerful insights that will help us scale our impact, engage fans in new ways, and set a new standard for what sustainability can look like in sports and entertainment.”

In the future, the RFID tracking system could serve as a blueprint for widespread implementation across Bold Reuse’s growing network of venues nationwide.

As the digital currency market expands, cloud mining is emerging as a new avenue for investors seeking passive income without the complexity of traditional mining.

Traditional cryptocurrency mining has long been associated with high costs, technical barriers and energy consumption. In response, cloud mining platforms—many powered by renewable energy—are positioning themselves as more accessible and environmentally friendly alternatives. These platforms promise users the ability to earn returns without managing hardware or energy-intensive operations.

One such platform, AAS Miner, has combined cloud-based computing with clean energy sources such as wind and solar to run mining operations. The company says this approach reduces the environmental impact of crypto mining and improves operational efficiency.

“AAS Miner aims to lower the entry barrier for users interested in digital asset mining,” the company said in a statement. “Our goal is to make passive income possible without technical know-how or infrastructure.”

The platform reports it has more than 120 energy-efficient mining facilities globally and over 7.5 million users across 180 countries. New users are able to register, purchase a computing contract and begin earning daily returns without physical involvement in the mining process.

According to the company, AAS Miner offers multiple contract tiers, with earnings claimed to reach as high as $5,000 per day depending on investment level and contract type. For example, a $5,500 contract may yield $88 per day over a 30-day period, totaling $7,640 after both principal and interest.

In addition to earnings potential, AAS Miner highlights its focus on security and reliability. The platform uses multilayer encryption, real-time monitoring and a custody system to manage user assets. It also cites a 24/7 support team and transparent income tracking features.

The company also operates an affiliate program that offers up to $22,000 in referral bonuses, along with a permanent 5% commission on invited users’ activity. AAS Miner supports withdrawals and payments in more than nine cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, ether and USDT.

New users who register may receive a $10 sign-up bonus and up to $0.80 for daily check-ins, according to the platform.

AAS Miner positions itself as a simple entry point for crypto newcomers and a scalable investment option for experienced users looking for passive income.

From 19th-century stagecoach stop to charming Southern California gem, Old Town Temecula has become one of Southern California’s most charming and nostalgic destinations because it offers a unique blend of past and present. Dotted with unique shops, museums, eclectic tasting rooms, and a variety of eateries, visitors can explore and wander past preserved storefronts and original hitching posts before stepping into modern spaces.

“What's happening in Old Town Temecula is a true renaissance,” said Scott A. Wilson, CEO of Visit Temecula Valley. “We're seeing this amazing mix of Old West charm mixed in with very cool modern vibes. It’s a living, breathing place that's constantly evolving, and it’s a must-see for any Temecula visitor."

Old Town Temecula’s dining landscape continues to thrive. While established classics like 1909, Goat & Vine and Gambling Cowboy remain local favorites, a new wave of innovative eateries are adding to the mix with interesting dining concepts. Haven Haus Cafe offers a relaxed, tropical vibe where diners can enjoy a festive brunch or dinner. Ten Hut, a bold Korean-style pub, offers crispy Korean fried chicken, bold Kogi tacos, and BBQ sliders that take pub food to the next level. Once an 18th century homestead, Small Barn is now a stylish modern bistro offering globally inspired flavors, fresh and seasonal menus, and thoughtful pairings.

Old Town tasting rooms like Temecula Olive Oil Company, Big Nose Winery, La Fata Cellars, Corbeaux Wine & Tea House, and soon-to-open Humble Somm, keep the region’s wine and agricultural legacy alive—one pour at a time.

Another historic landmark restaurant, the Swing Inn Café, was originally built in 1927 and is now owned by actor Dean Norris. The “Breaking Bad” and “CSI” star is often seen chatting with diners as they enjoy his slow-cooked BBQ and house specials. Located around the corner from the popular Old Town Farmer’s Market on Sixth and Front, E.A.T. Marketplace continues to champion farm-to-table dining and offer event space for local makers and mavericks to gather. A few doors down, Grazing Theory, which was recognized as Best Small Cheese Shop in America by Yelp, offers beautifully designed charcuterie boards, sandwich platters, and customized brunch options for delivery or pick-up.

On a lot that was once a busy lumberyard, the Temecula Stampede now stands as the largest country and western dance venue on the West Coast. Guests are invited to kick up their heels with line dancing lessons every Friday evening. Just across the street, you'll find Baily's Restaurant, another Old Town landmark with a fascinating past. This location was once the famed "Art Shack" of renowned artist Ralph Love. Born in Los Angeles in 1907, Love established his Temecula studio and classroom there in the mid-1950s. Today, a plaque honoring Love is displayed on the restaurant’s patio.

Inside the Hotel Temecula building, which was built in 1891, Weld + Wool attracts shoppers looking for customized Western hats and permanent jewelry. Across the street, Professor Pennypickle’s Workshop is an award-winning, STEM-focused museum that offers kids and families an imaginative, playful, and hands-on world of science and invention. Around the corner at Old Town Temecula Mining Co. & Mercantile, kids can pan for gems, test their aim in a laser shooting gallery, and shop for nostalgic candy and crystals. Newly opened on Main Street, Coffee Til Cocktails boutique is a one-stop shop offering clothing, on-trend accessories and a Trucker Hat Bar. Visitors can also explore Old Town’s eccentric side by visiting the Historic Jail or engaging with Zoltar (made famous in the movie, "Big").

Throughout the summer months, Old Town’s patios, bars, and tasting rooms come alive with plenty of live music and entertainment options, seasonal sips, and warm-weather vibes. On July 16, the Summer Taste of Old Town invites guests to enjoy a curated “sip and stroll” through the district, with small bites and drinks from a lineup of local businesses.

Old Town Temecula isn’t just a place to eat or shop. It’s a unique reflection of the Old West, with a nod to the past and an eye on the future. Old Town Temecula’s revitalization reflects the broader story of Temecula Valley: a destination shaped by independent thinkers, risk-takers, and community-minded creatives. It’s where SoCal history meets handcrafted hospitality.

Many think luck is just a fantasy—but BetFury users know otherwise. From casual players to crypto thrill-seekers, our community has repeatedly turned single bets into unforgettable wins. These aren’t just stories — they’re real moments, emotions, and life-changing experiences.

Highlighted BetFury Success Stories

At BetFury, we celebrate every big win, not just with prizes, but by sharing those moments with the world. Below are some of the most inspiring victories in crypto gambling, showcasing just how far one lucky moment can take you.

From Pocket Change to $170K+

A player known as Magi154571 shattered expectations — and the BetFury Mines board — by hitting an insane x5,149,330 multiplier. With just $0.03, they walked away with a jaw-dropping payout of over $170,000.

This user said: "Maybe I can tell you something like 'going for a coffee and coming back to find out an x5 million multi win.' It can't get better than that in gambling. Especially when you can share the win with a great VIP community in the VIP Chat Room. I was also pleased to have a great time as part of a beautiful experience."

The VIP Newbie Got $74K

User591361 hit this Jackpot right after joining BetFury’s VIP Club via the VIP Transfer Program. They have earned 41 ETH (worth around $74,000) in Salon Privé Blackjack C by Evolution. That’s not just a lucky break — it’s a bold entrance into the world of high-rollers.

$42K+ Win in Crazy Time

User712694 walked away with 16.4 ETH (over $42,000) after betting just 0.0189 ETH in Crazy Time A by Evolution. Even the dealer couldn’t hide their excitement. Real BetFury winners like this remind us why Live crypto casino games are so popular nowadays. How did this user react after his big win?

BetFury team: "Can you share emotions? Like, who was the first person you told if you won?"

User712694: "My wife. She didn't believe me lol. I've had about 4 or 5 big wins so far. Grateful. It's better than a casino. I'll stay at hotel/casinos... and play BetFury for big wins."

Plinko + Slots = $17K+ in One Day

The player Polemarch had a day to remember, combining Plinko and Slots for a total profit of $17,610. They earned $15,266 in Slots and hit the $2,343 BetFury Plinko win. Their reply was very detailed and interesting.

User Polemarch: "There were highs and setbacks, but every step was a chance to learn and improve. What kept me going was the excitement of growing my BFG and the support from my VIP manager. If I could offer one piece of advice to other players, it would be this:

• After every significant win, swap some % into BFG and then convert those to stBFG;
• Withdraw some wins, continue with the rest;
• Support the platform, swap there, hold BFG/stBFG, etc.
• If a bad run hits you, force a break of a few days/week;
• Be patient and keep your BFG balance healthy and growing.

Every top player started from the bottom. If I made it, you can too. Thanks to the team for this opportunity to share my journey. I hope it inspires others to reach for the top!"

Worldwide Banners has officially launched its investment platform in Australia, offering eligible investors the opportunity to directly participate in brand advertising campaigns as an alternative asset class. Operating as an Authorised Representative of Capital Guard, a licensed and regulated entity in Australia, Worldwide Banners provides a transparent and structured approach to investing outside traditional markets.

While Australia’s investment landscape offers a wide range of opportunities, access to the performance-linked returns of brand advertising campaigns has traditionally been limited. Worldwide Banners aims to fill this gap by offering a platform that allows investors to diversify beyond conventional assets such as shares and bonds. The platform is designed for individuals seeking to access niche sectors and benefit from clearly defined investment parameters.

A spokesperson for Worldwide Banners said:

"Our expansion into the Australian market responds to increasing demand for alternatives that align with modern investment goals. Our platform offers access to curated advertising campaigns, with full visibility into each strategy, timeline, and sector. This allows investors to make informed decisions within a regulated framework.”

Investor capital is allocated across a selection of advertising campaigns spanning industries such as technology, retail, lifestyle, and travel. Each campaign is presented with detailed information, allowing users to review opportunities based on their own investment criteria. Importantly, these investments carry risk and returns are not guaranteed.

Meeting Demand for Alternative Investments

The platform has launched at a time when Australian investors, particularly pre-retirees and sophisticated individuals, are actively exploring options beyond traditional asset classes. As financial awareness grows, so does the appetite for assets that present unique risk/return profiles. Worldwide Banners seeks to support this shift by offering tools and transparency that allow investors to evaluate opportunities independently.

“Our role is to give Australians access to a professionally managed platform where they can explore brand advertising as an asset class. We provide comprehensive information on each campaign and ensure compliance with all local regulatory standards. No financial advice is given,” the spokesperson added.

About Worldwide Banners

Worldwide Banners is an alternative investment platform that enables eligible investors to participate in curated brand advertising campaigns. As an Authorised Representative of Capital Guard, Worldwide Banners operates within Australia’s financial services regulatory framework. The company focuses on transparency, compliance, and investor education, providing detailed disclosures on all investment offerings. For more information, visit worldwidebanners.com.au.

Wetour Travel Tech, the U.S.-based innovation arm of Webus International Limited (Nasdaq: WETO), today announced its groundbreaking Web3 roadmap aimed at revolutionizing global tourism. With stablecoin payments, tokenized loyalty programs, and instant supplier settlements on deck, the company positions itself as a crypto-native gateway connecting America’s blockchain infrastructure to Asia’s fast-growing, mobile-first travel markets.

In an in-depth interview, 25-year-old founder and CEO Nan Zheng outlined how Wetour’s blockchain-based ecosystem will remove friction from payments and loyalty systems, allowing travelers to move value across borders as easily as they send a text. “Gen Z won’t tolerate hidden fees or seven-day payout cycles,” Zheng said. “They expect money to move at the speed of their lifestyle.”

Where Crypto Meets Travel—Deeper Than Just “Pay With Coins”

1. Tokenized loyalty, not just points with new paint

• Traditional programs trap value inside proprietary ledgers; breakage rates often exceed 25 %, hurting travelers and brands alike. By minting each point as a transferable on-chain token:
• Travelers see real-time balances and can spend or trade fractional points—even 0.0004 of a night—exactly when they need them.
• Brands gain unbeatable transparency on issuance and redemption, allowing dynamic pricing of rewards instead of quarterly manual reconciliations.
• Third-party apps can layer new utilities—think “stake Hilton tokens for a free spa credit” or “swap Marriott tokens for airline seat upgrades” without bilateral IT projects.

2. Cross-brand bridges that finally break the silos

In today’s ecosystem, a Hilton point and a MileagePlus® mile live on different databases. An open, ERC-20 style wrapper lets each brand retain its economics and branding while granting customers a one-click swap path through a neutral bridge smart contract. Wetour sees three immediate outcomes:

• Reduced ‘orphan points’: Tokens flow to whichever program delivers the next trip, raising engagement across the board.
• Composable promotions: A city-pass DApp could bundle a Marriott night, an Uber ride and a Wetour local tour into a single NFT ticket, settled atomically on chain.
• Balance-sheet clarity: When unredeemed liabilities sit on an immutable ledger, CFOs can price them accurately and even securitize future redemptions.

3. Instant, KYC-baked supplier payouts

Every stablecoin payment carries a verifiable DID credential on XPR, so anti-fraud checks run before funds move. Payout cycles drop from T+7 to T+0, easing working-capital pressure on smaller operators and lowering insurance costs for wholesalers.

What the Roadmap Looks Like in Practice

• Late 2025: Stablecoin checkout. USDC and similar regulated coins go live on WetourGlobal.com, its mobile app, and partner APIs.
• Early 2026: Smart-contract payouts. Hotels, drivers and guides in the U.S. and Japan receive funds within seconds of guest check-in.
• Mid-2026 (beta): Token-native loyalty. Points land directly in travelers’ wallets; fractional, real-time redemptions launch.
• 2H 2026 (pilot): Cross-program bridge layer. Wetour is studying a tokenized “bridge layer” that could one day let members move value between stalwarts such as Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy and United MileagePlus—turning stranded points into spend-anywhere purchasing power. No binding commitments have been made, but technical proofs of concept are under way.

Young CEO, Young Customer Base

Nan’s age mirrors Wetour’s core audience. Internal dashboards show a decidedly youthful skew among U.S. users, while Wetour’s brand has gained traction with hundreds of thousands of Gen Z and Millennial travelers in Japan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong—regions where curiosity about blockchain spending runs high.

“That dual reach is our super-power,” Nan says. “We give Asian guests a compliant way to deploy crypto in the U.S., while offering American Crypto firms a live sandbox for Asia’s most engaged tourists.”

The Wetour Edge

• Founder-led, Gen Z DNA: Leadership that feels the same pain points it’s fixing.
• America-based innovation hub: As a U.S. domestic company, Wetour is plugged into the world’s deepest crypto talent pool and regulatory dialogue.
• North America + Asia-Pacific footprint: Strong brand equity and growing user communities on both sides of the Pacific create a two-way bridge for value and influence.
• Single token standard: One on-chain framework spans payments, loyalty and supplier settlement, cutting integration friction.

Two-Way Bridge for Value—and Influence

For Asian travelers:

• Stablecoin checkout removes costly FX spreads and bank declines.
• On-chain loyalty lets them earn instantly in a currency they understand, not in a program that may never be useful back home.

For U.S. crypto enterprises:

• Wetour provides a regulated, consumer-facing showcase to reach millions of Asian users without building local rails from scratch.
• The open Loyalty-API sandbox (slated for early 2026) gives fintechs, airlines and hospitality groups a test bed to pilot Web3 rewards with zero long-term lock-in.

“Think of us as the ‘international terminal’ for America’s crypto industry,” Nan added. “We clear the regulatory and UX hurdles so innovators can focus on crafting amazing experiences, not wrestling with cross-border payments.”

Why Nasdaq Backing Matters

Wetour benefits from the public-market stature of its parent, Webus International Limited (WETO), on Nasdaq, which brings audited disclosures, institutional governance, and ready access to capital. This brand-trust dividend lets airlines and hotel groups explore crypto pilots with Wetour without reputational risk or funding uncertainty.

“We can run long-cycle R&D because WETO has institutional access to capital,” Nan notes. “That means product deadlines are driven by user value, not runway panic.”

An Open Invitation

Wetour is now inviting airlines, hotel groups, fintech startups, and travel brands to co-build the next generation of travel. “We’re builders, not gatekeepers,” Zheng emphasized. “If you’re ready to scale real-world Web3 solutions, our door is open.”

About Wetour Travel Tech

Wetour Travel Tech LLC is the innovation-driven, wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Webus International Limited (Nasdaq: WETO). Headquartered in Delaware—with operating hubs in New York, Tokyo and Singapore—Wetour curates high-end bespoke trips, boutique small-group tours and premium ground-transfer services across North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Backed by its parent company’s public-market credibility and consistent access to capital, Wetour is embedding blockchain rails—stable-coin payments, tokenised loyalty and smart-contract settlements—into every layer of the travel experience. The company now serves travellers in 10-plus countries, has welcomed more than 200,000 guests, and maintains long-term partnerships with hundreds of hotel groups, airlines and destination-management organisations worldwide.

A promising new chapter in infection control has opened as AseptiScope® announces its recent peer-reviewed publication of clinical results using its DiskCover® System, a touch-free stethoscope hygiene solution, by the Journal of Infectiology and Epidemiology. The study documents how healthcare professionals at the Memphis VA Medical Center integrated the system into their infection prevention protocols, resulting in an unprecedented reduction of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs) to zero over a one-year period.

Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs)

CLABSIs are among the most severe and preventable hospital-acquired infections, typically occurring when pathogens enter the bloodstream via a central venous catheter. These lines are commonly used in critical care to administer medication or collect diagnostic data. Despite rigorous hygiene protocols, including antiseptic bathing and aseptic line management, CLABSI rates persist, posing serious threats to already-vulnerable patients. Until now, stethoscope hygiene has never been included in CLABSI prevention bundles.

“The problem with central line infections is that critically ill patients are vulnerable, and these preventable occurrences can shift a routine procedure into a deadly, critical emergency,” stated Nicole Kupchik, clinical nurse specialist and leading authority on critical care nursing. “This is not only a significant professional challenge, but I lost a dear friend going through cancer treatment to this preventable, deadly infection.”

That changed when infection control specialists Naomi Ragsdale and Wendy Simpson at the Memphis VA took a bold step. Recognizing the stethoscope as a significant but often overlooked vector, frequently called the clinician’s “third hand,” they incorporated AseptiScope’s DiskCover System into their CLABSI prevention strategy. The result: a complete elimination of CLABSIs over a 12-month span.

AseptiScope’s DiskCover System

The DiskCover System works by automatically applying a sterile, single-use barrier to the diaphragm of a stethoscope, ensuring that each patient encounter begins with a clean device, something that traditional alcohol wipes fail to guarantee. In fact, numerous studies have shown that not only are alcohol wipes often used incorrectly or inconsistently, but some hospital pathogens are increasingly resistant to alcohol-based disinfectants altogether.

Unlike manual cleaning, the DiskCover System is intuitive, immediate, and compatible with fast-paced clinical environments. Located near hand hygiene stations, the device activates with a wave of the stethoscope, applying a clean disk in a second, allowing for seamless patient care without compromising safety.

Cindy Cadwell, a nurse practitioner, patient safety and quality expert, has been focused on the problem of stethoscope hygiene for years. “Our clinical teams want to do all the right things, but today’s world is fast moving, and even with the most diligent cleaning, more pathogens than ever are increasingly resistant to cleaning with alcohol and other disinfectants,” said Cadwell. “So, a barrier system that breaks direct contact is exactly what we’ve been waiting for; high-quality infection control, that is both clinician and workflow friendly.”

Kathleen Vollman, president of the World Federation of Critical Care Nurses, emphasized the implications: “The stethoscope has been a problem without a solution for a long time, and it seems we finally have what we need here. Tools like this are elegant in their simplicity, but have a huge impact on healthcare. Ultimately, innovation like this saves patient lives, saves time for our clinical teams, and saves money for our hospitals.”

Physicians, too, are taking note. Dr. Frank Peacock, a medical doctor, leading authority on stethoscope hygiene and infection control, and co-founder of AseptiScope, stated during an event for the CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) last year on the subject: “Placing a disk cover barrier on stethoscopes using a touch-free dispenser means I barely break stride when applying them, and ensures clean patient exams for the first time in my career. The visible barrier doesn’t just give me confidence, it also gives the patient comfort, which is fantastic."

AseptiScope, a California-based medical device startup, was founded by a team of healthcare veterans. CEO Scott W. Mader, a longtime clinical innovation expert, said the company was born out of a recognition of the overlooked infection risks of stethoscopes.

“I’ve spent my career bringing health innovations to market, and when we say this enormous gap in patient safety, as the stethoscope is like the clinician touching patients with a dirty third hand,” said Mader. “The touch-free application of the perfectly clean disk cover barrier blocks any pathogen exposure instantly”.

While the DiskCover System is still relatively new to hospitals, its impact is expanding quickly. AseptiScope reports that major cancer centers, urgent care clinics, and primary care facilities are now deploying the device to protect patients, particularly those who are immunocompromised or medically fragile.

“Now our customers are confirming this is not just another product; it’s a public health intervention,” Mader added. “This low-cost, high-impact innovation could prevent life-threatening infections for millions of patients.”

Looking forward, AseptiScope is developing additional touch-free devices based on the same principle of automated aseptic barriers. As the Memphis VA’s success story gains national attention, hospitals across the U.S. are taking notice. In an age where healthcare systems are under enormous strain and antimicrobial resistance continues to rise, tools like the DiskCover System may offer a critical path forward.

About AseptiScope

AseptiScope is a healthcare technology company focused on infection prevention for both clinicians and patients. The company develops innovative aseptic solutions aimed at reducing the risk of contamination and infection within healthcare systems. Their flagship product, the DiskCover™ System, addresses the persistent issue of stethoscope contamination—a significant yet often overlooked vector for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The DiskCover System is an evidence-based, automated, and touch-free solution designed to create a highly visible and effective infection barrier during patient examinations, filling a critical gap in infection prevention technology. AseptiScope is led by a team of prominent medical professionals and experts in the field. For more information, visit aseptiscope.com.

Hair loss, once considered an inevitable part of aging, is now a reversible condition thanks to the rapid advancements in medical technology. In this evolving field, Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic a hair transplant center based in Istanbul emerges as a global leader, blending scientific expertise with aesthetic finesse. Led by Dr. Servet Terziler, the clinic has become known as a sanctuary for patients seeking natural, lasting, and safe solutions to hair loss — making it one of the most trusted names in the world of hair restoration.

Redefining Hair Restoration in the Modern Era

In the past, hair transplant procedures often left visible scars and unnatural results. Today, under the leadership of Dr. Terziler, hair restoration has undergone a dramatic transformation. His approach focuses on minimally invasive procedures, tailored planning, and a deep understanding of facial harmony.

Rather than simply implanting hair, Dr. Terziler designs a customized, aesthetic hairline that enhances the individual’s unique features. Every procedure is executed with precision, artistic vision, and advanced technology — offering results that are virtually indistinguishable from natural hair growth.

Who Is Dr. Servet Terziler?

Dr. Servet Terziler is not only a medical doctor but also a pioneer in Turkey’s medical aesthetic field. A graduate of Istanbul University’s Faculty of Medicine, he has spent over 20 years perfecting his craft and leading innovations in hair transplantation and regenerative treatments.

He is also a frequent speaker at international conferences, a mentor to many young physicians, and a media personality known for demystifying aesthetic medicine. His clinic reflects his personal philosophy: medicine with precision, service with integrity, and results with excellence.

FUE and DHI: The Gold Standards of Hair Transplantation

Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic specializes in the two most advanced techniques in modern hair transplantation:

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): A gentle method that involves extracting individual hair follicles and transplanting them one by one. This method leaves no linear scars and offers fast recovery.
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Utilizes a special implanter pen that allows direct placement of follicles without pre-made incisions. This technique enables higher density and greater control over hair angle and direction.

What sets Dr. Terziler apart is not only his mastery of these techniques but also his protocols that prioritize graft survival, density optimization, and natural aesthetics. Each transplant session is executed with a level of detail more akin to fine art than surgery.

The Art of Designing a Hairline

One of the defining features of a successful hair transplant is the hairline. Dr. Terziler takes special care in crafting a hairline that suits the patient’s age, facial structure, and personal goals.

Using facial symmetry analysis and 3D imaging tools, he creates designs that replicate the natural growth patterns of hair. The goal isn’t just to restore hair but to restore balance, youthfulness, and confidence.

Comprehensive Patient Experience: From Consultation to Aftercare

At Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic, patient satisfaction is paramount. The clinic provides a 360-degree medical and hospitality experience:

• Free initial consultation with a detailed scalp and hair analysis
• Medical history review and suitability assessment
• Personalized hair transplant plan
• Pre-operative guidance and preparation instructions
• Full post-operative care with regular follow-ups and digital monitoring

Each patient is assigned a dedicated care coordinator to ensure clear communication, timely assistance, and emotional support throughout the process.

An International Destination for Hair Transplantation

Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic has become a preferred destination for patients from over 60 countries. Istanbul’s accessibility, combined with the clinic’s reputation for excellence, attracts clients from Europe, the Gulf, North America, and beyond.

To ensure a seamless experience, the clinic offers international patient packages, which include:

• VIP airport transfers
• 5-star hotel accommodation
• Multilingual support (English, Arabic, German, French, and others)
• Pre- and post-treatment video consultations
• City tours for recovery days

This blend of medical excellence and luxury service sets Dr. Terziler apart in the global aesthetic medicine market.

Addressing Women’s Hair Loss with Sensitivity

Though often overlooked, female hair loss is a growing concern. Women may suffer from diffuse thinning, postpartum hair loss, hormonal imbalances, or genetic factors.

Dr. Terziler’s team offers specialized solutions for women, including:

• Minimally invasive DHI transplants without shaving the entire head
• Scalp-strengthening therapies such as PRP and mesotherapy
• Subtle design to maintain feminine hairlines and density

The result? A discreet, effective solution that restores not only hair but also dignity and confidence.

Supporting Treatments: PRP, Mesotherapy, and Scalp Micropigmentation

Hair health isn’t just about transplantation — it’s about scalp condition, blood flow, and follicle strength. That’s why Dr. Terziler also offers:

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A powerful, natural therapy using the patient’s own plasma to stimulate dormant follicles and improve recovery after surgery.
• Mesotherapy: A cocktail of nutrients injected into the scalp to encourage hair growth and thickness.
• Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): A non-invasive method to simulate hair density and camouflage thinning areas.

These therapies can be used as stand-alone treatments or to enhance transplant outcomes.

Trusted by High-Profile Clients, Valued by All

Dr. Servet Terziler’s expertise has attracted celebrities, public figures, and business leaders from around the world. Yet, what makes his clinic truly unique is its equal care for every patient.

From influencers to everyday individuals, each person is treated with the same level of professionalism, confidentiality, and personalized attention.

Real Success Stories and Patient Testimonials

With thousands of successful transplants performed, Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic proudly showcases authentic before-and-after photos, patient video testimonials, and independent reviews. These real stories not only demonstrate the clinic’s capabilities but also reflect the life-changing impact of quality hair restoration.

Patients frequently report:

• Renewed self-confidence
• Improved social and professional interactions
• A more youthful, energetic appearance
• A sense of regaining control over their image

Certified Excellence and International Standards

Dr. Terziler’s clinic operates under strict international health and safety protocols. The facility holds all necessary certifications and accreditations, ensuring:

• Sterile, safe surgical environments
• Licensed and trained medical staff
• Transparent communication of procedures, risks, and expected outcomes
• No hidden fees or misleading claims

Patient trust is earned — and maintained — through consistency, honesty, and excellence.

Conclusion: Your Hair, Your Identity — Reimagined by Dr. Servet Terziler

Hair is more than just a physical feature. It’s a powerful symbol of identity, confidence, and vitality. Dr. Servet Terziler has made it his mission to help people rediscover themselves through science-backed, artfully performed hair transplantation.

Whether you are in the early stages of hair loss or have long struggled with baldness, Dr. Terziler offers a reliable, elegant, and transformative solution. With a global reputation for success and a passion for patient care, he invites you to experience the future of hair restoration — today.

Unlisted, the real estate platform focused exclusively on homes not currently for sale, was born from a familiar moment. Founder and CEO, Katie Hill, walked past a home and thought, “I love that house; I wonder if it could be mine someday?” Unlike most, she acted on that curiosity — and Unlisted was the result.

Unlisted’s origin story began with a friendly conversation. Hill approached her neighbor who owned the house she admired and expressed her interest. The owner wasn’t selling right then but was flattered, intrigued, and open to future conversations as he was planning for his retirement in the coming few years. Hill asked for a right of first refusal whenever the neighbor was ready to sell and he agreed.

That moment of neighborhood curiosity inspired many questions in Hill’s mind:

• Why don’t we do this more often?
• Why can’t buyers and homeowners express and collect interest in real estate ongoing?
• Why are we left to scramble when our dream home suddenly pops up on the market?
• Why are we uncertain how our home may perform when we list it for sale?

These questions became the blueprint for Unlisted, a growing platform built to unlock the hidden layer of the real estate market: homes that aren't actively for sale but might be — for the right offer, the right timeline, or the right terms.

Founded by Hill in 2022, Unlisted helps buyers express interest in any home, whether or not it’s on the market, and gives homeowners a private, pressure-free way to collect interest and better understand the marketability of their property. Homeowners can “claim” their home, control the way their property appears online, personalize its details and photos, and initiate conversations with buyers who join their Waitlist — all on their own timeline, and without committing to sell.

“We’re not trying to push people to sell,” says Hill. “We’re giving them the option to see what’s possible and make better-informed decisions.”

Unlisted works selectively with vetted real estate agents with proven track records, ensuring that when buyers and homeowners align on a transaction opportunity they have access to the local real estate resources they need.

“Unlisted’s technology is far-reaching and creates more opportunities but it still maintains the local, human connection that is so important in real estate.“ explains Jason Rowland, licensed real estate broker with the Rowland Group at Compass in Chicago and a selected partner with Unlisted. “I have deep knowledge of my local market and serve as a trusted resource for both buyers and homeowners on Unlisted who are exploring their options in the neighborhood. It’s the best of all worlds.”

Real estate requires that people make some of the most important decisions of their lives. Unlisted offers a new way to discover opportunities and information — helping both sides of the transaction achieve optimum outcomes.

CoinsPaid, a leading crypto payment gateway, has reported a 38% year-on-year increase in crypto transactions among its travel-sector clients.

Driven by the need for faster, cheaper, and more secure cross-border payments, digital assets — particularly stablecoins — are becoming a standard option for airlines, online travel agencies (OTAs), and luxury service providers.

“Crypto isn’t a novelty anymore,” said Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid. “In 2025, the benefits are clear — it reduces costs, removes geographical barriers, and enables instant settlement. For many travel providers, it’s simply a more efficient way to do business.”

CoinsPaid is seeing increased adoption from both mainstream and premium travel providers — including boutique hotels, aggregators, and luxury services. Mirai Flights, a private jet operator, has integrated CoinsPaid’s infrastructure and reports a 75% reduction in payment processing fees since implementation.

The company’s crypto solution supports over 20 digital assets, offers instant conversion to fiat to mitigate volatility, and complies with global KYC/AML standards. Onboarding can be completed in under 48 hours, with no specialist blockchain knowledge required.

“You don’t need to be a blockchain expert,” Krupyshev added. “You just need a gateway that works and keeps you compliant.”

Shift in Consumer Behaviour

Industry data also points to changing consumer habits. Travala.com, a blockchain-based travel booking platform, processed $103 million in bookings in 2024, with 80% of transactions settled in cryptocurrencies. Travala reports that crypto users spend 2.5 times more on average than customers paying with fiat.

Although early crypto travel adoption was largely driven by tech-savvy users, usage has since expanded. CoinsPaid cites rising interest among digital nomads, Gen Z freelancers, and consumers in countries with high inflation.

The company expects this trend to continue. “We’re seeing a real shift in who is using crypto — and why,” Krupyshev said. “It’s no longer just early adopters, it’s also practical users seeking efficiency and reliability.”

Looking ahead, CoinsPaid estimates that crypto could account for up to 15% of travel bookings in select markets — including Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe — by 2027, citing both demographic and infrastructure trends.

“Crypto is no longer an alternative,” Krupyshev concluded. “It’s becoming part of the core financial infrastructure – and travel is one of the first industries to benefit.”

About CoinsPaid

CoinsPaid is a leading crypto payment ecosystem serving over 800 merchants worldwide. The company provides a secure, compliant, and user-friendly platform that enables businesses to accept and manage digital asset payments with ease.

Prime Care VIP, a mobile concierge healthcare company that provides top-tier primary and urgent care to patients for less than $5 per day, has hired leading South Florida board-certified family medicine physician Jarrod Frydman, D.O. as the company’s first chief medical officer. In this role, which began on June 16, Dr. Frydman will lead the company’s clinical team and spearhead the expansion of its services and operations.

Founded by Michael Kieffer, a nationally board-certified family nurse practitioner with a deep passion for wellness and self-care, and Dr. Lainey Kieffer, a doctor of nursing practice, nationally board-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Prime Care VIP’s innovative mobile concierge service allows patients to avoid the costs and constraints of traditional healthcare while achieving better health outcomes.

The company offers patients same-day visits, 24/7 access to providers and a comprehensive suite of free prescription medications and labs—all without copays, deductibles, or surprise bills. Prime Care VIP allows employers to provide high-level, patient-centric care that results in no out-of-pocket healthcare expenses for employees, improved worker productivity and morale and a reduction in claim spend.

“The current healthcare system makes many people believe that they can't access high quality health care without expensive health insurance,” said Michael Kieffer, CEO of Prime Care VIP. “With our model at Prime Care VIP, our patients get leading medical professionals to come to their home or business, all for the price of a cup of coffee—and that money goes toward actual healthcare services, not financial products that gamble on your likelihood of using it. We’re excited to have Dr. Frydman join the team and help us continue to grow.”

“At Prime Care VIP, we take pride in providing top-tier care for our patients, and Dr. Frydman’s reputation speaks for itself,” said Dr. Lainey Kieffer, chief impact officer of Prime Care VIP. “I can’t wait to work with him as we expand our services and bring Prime Care VIP to new communities and companies.”

With 24 years of experience as a family physician in Broward County, Fla., Dr. Frydman brings significant knowledge and expertise to Prime Care VIP’s innovative mobile concierge care model. His addition to the team marks a significant milestone for Prime Care VIP as the company positions itself to expand into an institutional provider that can serve patients throughout the country and transform how individuals and businesses approach healthcare.

“I am honored to join Prime Care VIP and step into this role at such a pivotal time for the company,” said Frydman. “I have been treating families in South Florida for 24 years, and I’ve seen firsthand how the traditional healthcare system fails patients. The model that Michael and Lainey have created at Prime Care VIP puts patients first and lets doctors like me get back to what we signed up for: helping people get healthy.”

Dr. Frydman is a graduate of the University of Florida and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine graduate, completing his medical residency at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In addition to his role at Prime Care VIP, Dr. Frydman is an associate professor of medicine at Nova Southeastern University, where he mentors young physicians and medical students. Dr. Frydman resides in Boca Raton, Fla. with his wife, Meredith, and two children, Corey and Hannah, and enjoys physical fitness, surfing, and traveling with his family and friends.

Prime Care VIP is currently licensed to provide concierge medical services in Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Texas and Georgia, with continued plans for growth and expansion into a fully national brand. With the addition of Dr. Frydman, Prime Care VIP now has six certified medical professionals on staff providing first-class care throughout its geographic footprint.

Roland Berger, a leading global management consultancy, has released its latest annual flagship report, Foresight 2025: Roland Berger China Annual Trends Report, which shares critical insights into the intensifying competitive challenge from Chinese companies' rapid development and cost efficiency. This dynamic is profoundly reshaping global markets, demanding urgent strategic adaptation from Western businesses.

In 2024, Chinese companies have achieved significant global expansion, with key goods exports like electrical machinery, advanced equipment, integrated circuits, and automobiles surging by 20–50%. Non-financial outbound investment increased by approximately 11% over 2023, surpassing USD $100 billion, with China ranking in the top three globally for overseas investment for 12 consecutive years. Many leading Chinese firms now generate over 50% of their revenue from overseas operations, alongside increasing profitability. This success spans commercial vehicles, automotive OES, automotive OEMs, and heavy machinery.

However, Roland Berger's analysis reveals a critical gap: Western firms lag in material cost, time to market, and customer attunement. This disadvantage leads to struggles against Chinese competitors, often being "too slow," "too expensive," and "too little attuned to changing customer needs." The need for decisive action is immediate.

Achieving "China Speed" and "China Costs"

Chinese OEMs achieve their remarkable speed and cost advantages through:

Speed:

• Accelerated product development: Characterized by shortened strategy phases, leveraging supplier platforms, and selective high vertical integration.
• Parallel processes & MVP approach: Emphasizing agile development and minimal viable products.
• Lean, hierarchical organization: Enabling quick market adaptation and accelerated global expansion.

Cost Levels:

• Conscious product trade-off: Design decisions are driven by customer attunement.
• Stringent cost-out operating model: Utilizing both technical and commercial levers.
• End-to-end procurement accountability: Direct responsibility for cost management across the value chain.

Strategic Imperatives for Western Companies

Roland Berger advises a focused, three-step strategic approach for Western companies:

1. Define your competitive arena: Understand where and how you compete, against whom, and with what products.

2. Benchmark and identify gaps:

• For "China speed," analyze your Product Development Process (PDP) and benchmark products to pinpoint inefficiencies and accelerate development.
• For "China costs," perform product teardowns and BOM analysis to identify cost gaps and develop strategies to close them.

3. Adjust your cost-out operating model.

The Scientific Association for Botanical Education and Research (SABER) commends the Texas Legislature for passing Senate Bill 2308, a groundbreaking measure that would allocate up to $50 million toward clinical trials investigating ibogaine, a psychedelic compound with emerging potential in the treatment of opioid use disorder, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury.

The legislation, expected to be signed by Governor Greg Abbott and backed by former Governor Rick Perry, positions Texas as a national leader in publicly funded psychedelic research. It establishes a research consortium, prioritizes care for veterans, and creates a revenue-sharing model that ties scientific innovation directly to community benefit.

“Texas just set a new standard for how states can responsibly explore emerging therapies,” said Dr. Mary Hardy, M.D., a member of SABER’s Scientific Steering Committee. “This is science-driven policymaking that centers both patient safety and public health.”

The initiative marks a turning point in how state governments can respond to substance abuse and mental health crises with forward-thinking, scientifically credible approaches. While some clinics abroad offer ibogaine in unregulated settings, Texas’s model provides a blueprint for rigorous, ethical investigation.

• Largest state psychedelic research fund to date: Texas’s investment is the most significant of its kind, with public funds matched by private and academic partners.
• Veteran-focused and data-driven: Texas is advancing research into treatments for those failed by conventional options. The program emerged following powerful testimonies from military veterans.
• Built-in accountability: The state will retain 20% of any intellectual property generated through the trials, with a quarter of that revenue earmarked for veterans’ services.
• Addressing a critical evidence gap: Ibogaine remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. Texas’s regulated trial framework will generate the clinical data needed to evaluate its safety and effectiveness under medical oversight.

“SABER strongly supports research grounded in rigorous science and public health,” said Dr. Hardy. “By prioritizing research, Texas is setting a powerful example for how states can lead on innovative, accountable approaches to substance abuse and trauma treatment.”
