Looped Solutions™ Launches Corporate Sponsorship Program to Support Domestic Violence Survivors and Advocates Providing Safe Access to Services From Any Mobile Device
Getting help in an abusive relationship isn’t easy when an abuser is monitoring your cell phone. When every call, text, and email is being watched, getting help to escape an abusive relationship can feel impossible. Looped Solutions™, a technology company specializing in safe communication, today announced a Corporate Sponsorship program designed to eliminate financial barriers and provide immediate access to life-saving technology for victim service agencies.
Agencies need this technology now—not in their next budget cycle. Victim service agencies are struggling to meet overwhelming demand while facing staffing shortages and funding gaps that put survivors at risk. Looped Fusion Purple™ was built specifically for these agencies, ensuring that survivors can safely connect with their advocates—even if their devices are being monitored or controlled by an abuser.
“For far too many, safety is stolen by an abuser—leaving survivors vulnerable, isolated, and afraid to reach out for help. Over 70% will never seek help through traditional methods. That’s where Looped Fusion Purple makes a difference,” said Looped Solutions’ CEO, Kara Wasser.
By keeping all client-advocate communications within a single safe system, Looped Fusion Purple eliminates the risks of phone calls, emails, and text messages that can be monitored by an abuser. The platform also helps agencies manage growing caseloads more efficiently without increasing advocate burnout or compromising survivor confidentiality.
The Urgent Need for Funding & How Corporate Sponsorships Make an Immediate Impact
While agencies urgently need this technology, many are struggling to secure funding fast enough. “Agencies both want and need our technology, but funding cycles often delay adoption. Many are working it into future budgets, but the need is critical now,” Wasser emphasized.
Through the Corporate Sponsorship program, companies can immediately provide agencies with access to Looped Fusion Purple, ensuring that survivors are not left waiting for safety. In just the past few weeks, five victim service agencies across three states have been fully funded for multi-year access, impacting thousands of lives.

National companies and individuals are stepping up to support this cause. Wheatland Tube, a division of Zekelman Industries, led by visionary leader Barry Zekelman, has committed to a multi-year sponsorship for several agencies, ensuring that more agencies can protect survivors without financial barriers.
Karen Cone, Venture Partner at Mastersfund, an investor in Looped Solutions, shared: “Knowing how essential it is for victims to safely and securely get the help that these agencies provide and recognizing the increasing risks associated with obtaining grant funding, I am tremendously supportive of this Corporate Sponsorship program and also value opportunity to personally step up with individual sponsorships.”
A Direct Path to Saving Lives
Looped Solutions maintains a growing list of agencies in urgent need of funding. The Corporate Sponsorship program provides a seamless way for companies to direct social responsibility funds where they are needed most, ensuring that victims have a secure way to seek help, access resources, and take steps toward safety.
“We have agencies looking for immediate help,” Wasser stressed. “This program provides a direct pathway for organizations to make a charitable donation that immediately empowers agencies to keep survivors safe.”
For companies looking to make a direct impact, sponsorship opportunities are available now. Every moment matters. Every connection saves lives.
Interested organizations are urged to contact Looped Solutions directly at kw@loopedsolutions.com or by calling (724) 734-6909.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Continue Launches 1.0 with Open-Source IDE Extensions and a Hub that Empowers Developers to Build and Share Custom AI Code Assistants
Continue, the open-source AI code assistant platform, today announced the launch of Continue 1.0, a major milestone on its journey to empower developers with fully customizable AI code assistants. Continue enables developers to create, share, and use custom AI code assistants with open-source IDE extensions that can now seamlessly leverage a vibrant hub of models, context, and other building blocks. With hundreds of thousands of users, 20k+ GitHub stars, and a thriving Discord community of 10k+ developers, Continue is setting a new standard for open-source AI-enhanced development.
The release of Continue 1.0 includes a new hub that makes it frictionless to create AI code assistants with a registry for defining, managing, and sharing Continue building blocks. There are blocks published and maintained by verified partners like Claude 3.5 Sonnet from Anthropic, Codestral from Mistral, DeepSeek-R1 from Ollama, voyage-code-3 embeddings from Voyage AI, and MCP servers from Docker. Blocks and assistants may also be created and shared to the hub by individual developers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and other organizations.
Also included is the first major release of Continue’s open-source extensions for VS Code and JetBrains. Developers can use these extensions with assistants and blocks from the hub via a free, solo tier. Organizations can take advantage of paid teams and enterprise tiers. Working with early enterprise users such as Siemens, Morningstar, and IONOS helped to shape the product. The hub provides engineering leaders with governance, security, and infrastructure control over AI code assistants within their organizations.
"Continue 1.0 is a huge leap forward in making AI-powered development truly customizable, private, and developer-first. The ‘one-size-fits-all’ AI code assistant will be a thing of the past. With this release, we’re making it easier than ever for individual developers and teams to take full control over their AI coding experience through both our open-source community and our hub of building blocks for custom AI code assistants," said Ty Dunn, co-founder of Continue.
Continue is built on the foundation of developer empowerment and data control. Unlike closed-source alternatives, Continue ensures that every developer has the power to decide how AI integrates into their coding environment. Key features of the teams and enterprise tiers on hub.continue.dev include:
- Standardize development practices: Teams can establish custom AI code assistants that help developers align with shared development, review, and testing practices
- Governance controls: Organizations can define and enforce policies around AI-assisted development, governing what blocks can be created, shared, and used within their teams
- Private data plane deployment: Enterprises can deploy a data plane within their own infrastructure, ensuring that all code and analytics remain secure without exposing API keys or sensitive data
“Developers thrive when they have the freedom to build with the best tools available. Continue 1.0 amplifies every developer, team, and organization with the power to choose and customize AI code assistants to fit their unique workflows and preferences. This launch isn’t just about AI helping developers write code—it’s about making AI a natural, customizable extension of how they already work. Continue gives developers superpowers that amplify and enhance the way they already work. This is why Heavybit has been investing in developer-first startups for more than a decade,” said Jesse Robbins, General Partner at Heavybit and co-founder of Chef.
“At Mistral, our mission has always been to democratize artificial intelligence. Our partnership with Continue perfectly aligns with our vision of a developer-first ecosystem where AI code assistants are both secure and customizable. Whether you need local, on-prem, in your VPC, on the public cloud, or via serverless APIs, you can use Mistral models with Continue,” said Arthur Mensch, co-founder and CEO of Mistral AI. “Together, we’re building the future of AI-powered development on a foundation of openness and trust.”
“We believe that when it comes to AI coding tools, developers should be able to consume with confidence. In this period of rapid change, confidence requires openness, pluggability, and modularity. Now is the time to embrace the transparency and innovation of open source solutions. We believe in Continue's approach, and we're excited to partner with them and the community to define this ecosystem,” said Craig McLuckie, co-founder of Stacklok, Kubernetes, and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
“At YC, we invest in teams that put developers first, and Continue’s 1.0 launch is a perfect example of that philosophy in action,” said Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator. He continued “By making it easy to create custom AI code assistants, they’re giving developers the power to tailor their coding experience like never before. This is a major step forward in building an open ecosystem where innovation and democratization go hand in hand.”
Backed by Heavybit and Y Combinator, Continue has raised a total of $5 million in seed funding to create a developer ecosystem built on trust, privacy, and developer empowerment. With 1.0, Continue is not only revolutionizing the AI coding assistant landscape but also ensuring that developers everywhere have the tools they need to harness AI on their own terms.

NEW YORK, NY
Fabrik – Combatting the $460 Billion Loneliness Crisis – Celebrates Rapid Growth, Announces Brooklyn Expansion
Fabrik, the member-based network of locations for those seeking to build and join communities, announced it is opening a new location at 20 Jay Street in Brooklyn's DUMBO district, and reported significant growth in members and programming after just six months of operation in New York City. The Big Apple is Fabrik’s first market for this new model for “third spaces” and programming that is designed for meet ups, making friends, tackling work and unwinding. The company is aiming for further US expansion this year as it offers a solution to the global loneliness epidemic, which impacts 1 in 3 Americans and reportedly costs the economy $460 billion annually in lowered productivity and absenteeism.
Fabrik was developed as part of Hines Global Ventures, which supported the company with resources from concept to launch and beyond, including an initial seed investment. The company’s first location, which opened last June in Tribeca, has quickly become a popular option for people to find connection and belonging in between work and home. Fabrik is now home to 130 communities and clubs, whose builders regularly host events aimed at a range of interests: start-up founders, arts and creative groups, as well as gatherings for fitness enthusiasts, cookbook clubs, the “sober-curious,” self-care, and events for many other organizations who want a consistent, affordable place to connect over shared passions. Attendees range from college students to later stage professionals who are drawn to the varying topics and interests in Fabrik’s programming. Fabrik’s proprietary digital platform also helps community members discover kindred spirits, organize in-person meet-ups and build their own communities.
“At Fabrik, we believe that every community deserves a space to activate, grow and flourish,” said Jaclyn Pascocello, founder and CEO of Fabrik. “Our early success reflects a growing demand for spaces that foster authentic connections and empower builders to create meaningful impact. With our expansion to Brooklyn, we are excited to extend our vision to even more communities, and to offer Fabrik as an attractive solution to a dynamic commercial real estate market.”
Fabrik's second location is a 5,600 square foot, 2nd floor space at 20 Jay Street, a Two Trees Management building. Fabrik, whose membership has a waiting list of 1,400 New York area community leaders, expects to open in DUMBO later this spring. Will Grover and Ryan Gessin of Newmark Group, Inc. acted as Fabrik broker and advisors.
This human-led, technology-supported startup is also addressing commercial real estate’s glut of underutilized space and a marketplace demand shift for smaller spaces to accommodate hybrid work environments. As 69% of Manhattan leases in the first quarter of 2024 were for smaller spaces, the Fabrik team activates to rapidly transform harder-to-lease vacant spaces of between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet into comfortable open spaces that are more living room than office. Fabrik not only offers property owners and managers an incremental revenue stream; it brings under-used space to life and is an attractive feature for current and future tenants.
Open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fabrik offers Community members the option to attend a growing slate of events and engaging programming, and its Community Host members can organize meet-ups, workshops, panel discussions and other gatherings for its own members as well as the entire Fabrik community.
The Brooklyn location, set to open in the Q1 of 2025, marks a significant step forward in Fabrik’s growth. Building on the success of its flagship Tribeca space, the new location will continue to meet the diverse needs of its members and their communities. It will also help realize Fabrik’s commitment to scaling its impact and creating a citywide network of vibrant third spaces offering community and connection.
“An alarming 36% of Americans—1 in 3 people—report feeling lonely frequently or all the time. That number jumps to 63% for the 18–25 age group. And loneliness is not just a mental, social and physical health crisis; it’s an economic problem. The $460 billion annual expense borne by our economy because of absenteeism, lower productivity and other factors contributing to loneliness is a significant hit on a balance sheet,” said Gwen Wiscount, co-founder and COO of Fabrik. “In addition, much of commercial real estate remains underutilized. So we’re seizing multiple untapped opportunities, providing value and an antidote to loneliness for our members but also to businesses seeking innovative solutions to marketplace challenges.”
Pascocello, a seasoned hospitality leader and proptech entrepreneur, brings a wealth of experience to Fabrik. As the former COO of Spacious, a leading startup in the co-working arena acquired by WeWork in 2019, she is uniquely positioned to drive Fabrik’s mission of creating spaces that are more than just physical locations but essential hubs of community and connectivity.
“The current market dynamics have created an immense opportunity for Fabrik to deliver impact—both economically and socially—by creating more vibrant communities and ecosystems with its innovative model,”said Kathryn Scheckel, Venture Advisor at Hines and Fabrik board member. “Fabrik has already become home to hundreds of unique communities and individuals seeking connection and is proving its value to the commercial real estate marketplace.”

Expanding Global Partnerships: China International Import Expo (CIIE) Promotional Events in Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia
To strategically deepen the cross-border collaborative ties with global enterprises and encourage broader participation, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) promotional team embarked on an influential global promotion to Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia from February 16 to 24. This promotional itinerary was designed to advance the recruitment process for the 8th CIIE, scheduled for November 2025 in Shanghai.

Premium Platform for Cooperation Opportunities
Australia and New Zealand, both longstanding partners in China’s agricultural and resource sectors, boast strong economic complementarity and hold significant potential for future cooperation. At the 7th CIIE, Australia participated with more than 250 companies, marking the highest attendance in its history. Various Australian products, including meat, seafood, wine, dairy products, health supplements, agricultural products, and consumer goods were well-received by the Chinese market. Meanwhile, New Zealand, represented by industry giants like Theland, have long benefited from the trade connections fostered by the CIIE. Theland, a leading dairy company from New Zealand, has gained significant popularity among Chinese consumers. At each edition of the CIIE, Theland introduces global debut products, leveraging the CIIE as a testing ground and a springboard for expansion.
A Bridge for Enhanced Partnership
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, the CIIE further solidifies the friendly cooperative ties between the two countries, a relationship highlighted by Malaysia’s status as one of the guest countries of honor at the 7th CIIE. Through its active participation, Malaysia showcased its diverse range of high-quality products and services, including electrical and electronics, agricultural goods, healthcare products, and innovative services such as ICT, e-commerce, and logistics. This engagement underscored Malaysia’s strategic importance as a key partner in China’s global trade network.
Following the tremendous success of the 7th CIIE, preparations for the 8th CIIE are well underway, focused on continuing to create valuable cooperation opportunities for global enterprises. The CIIE remains an unparalleled platform for companies to explore market opportunities and strengthen cross-border trade relations.

Notable heywell Expansion: Sparkling Functional Water Brand Accelerates Momentum with Major Retail Expansion and Marketing in 2025
heywell, the innovative sparkling functional water brand, is making a bold leap forward in 2025 with rapid growth and major retail expansion. Following a year of tripling its DTC business and doubling its overall business year-over-year, heywell extends its brick-and-mortar footprint into almost 900 new stores across the U.S. with key retail partners including Target, The Fresh Market, Hy-Vee, Fresh Thyme, and Mariano’s—with more key retail partners to be announced soon.
As health-conscious consumers seek cleaner, multi-benefit drinks, heywell is outpacing the flavored sparkling water category by 5x (SPINS, 52 weeks ending 1/26/25). Thoughtfully made with adaptogens, antioxidants, minerals, herbs, and organic caffeine, heywell delivers all-day wellness support in a delicious, convenient format.
“We created heywell as an all-day ally—offering multiple functional benefits in each can to help people manage the demands of modern life,” says Ashley Selman, CEO of heywell. “Our drinks provide a combination of benefits like hydration plus stress support or energy plus immunity, making wellness easier and more efficient—without compromising on taste. The key to success in functional beverages isn’t just being healthy—it’s being craveable.”
With the functional beverage market projected to hit $62 billion by 2027 (SPINS), heywell has built its success on a disciplined, thoughtful expansion strategy—partnering with the right retailers at the right time and investing where it matters most: at the point of purchase. This latest expansion builds on heywell’s existing presence in 2,000 stores nationwide, including Erewhon, Central Market, Wegmans, Gelson’s, and more.
heywell’s latest innovation, energy + hydrate lemon fizz, launched to overwhelming success last year. Featuring 75mg of organic green coffee bean caffeine, L-theanine for focus, and natural electrolytes for hydration, the flavor taps into two of the largest functional beverage categories: energy ($6.8 billion) and hydration ($6.3 billion) (SPINS).
Now, with strong consumer demand and proven traction in retail, heywell is preparing for its next move: its first-ever marketing campaign.

NEW YORK, NY
Federation of Catholic Teachers Calls for Fair Wages, Benefits, and Respect for Educational Assistants
The Federation of Catholic Teachers (FCT) is calling for urgent action in its negotiations with the Archdiocese of New York (ADNY) to secure fair wages, benefits, and recognition for Educational Assistants (EAs)—the newly unionized teachers’ aides and assistants who play a critical role in Catholic schools.
With an average hourly wage of just $16, minimal benefits, and little job security, these essential educators face conditions that fall far short of industry standards. Yet, after multiple bargaining sessions, the Association of Catholic Schools (ACS), the ADNY’s negotiating arm, has rejected nearly all proposals for improvement—including a simple name change from “Aide” to “Educational Assistant” to better reflect their role.
A Call for Dignity and Fair Pay
- EAs earn less than fast-food workers, with proposed wage increases as low as 5 cents per hour.
- Most EAs have no paid sick leave, forcing them to work while ill.
- Basic benefits—healthcare, job security, retirement—are virtually nonexistent.
- The ADNY refuses to acknowledge them as Educational Assistants, despite the title’s standard use in other professional fields.
“Refusing to recognize these educators with a title that reflects their contribution is more than semantics—it’s a blatant disregard for their role,” said Leanne Cole, President of FCT. “These individuals dedicate their days to supporting teachers and shaping young minds, yet they are denied the respect, wages, and protections they deserve.”
To raise public awareness and push for change, the Federation of Catholic Teachers is organizing a rally with union members, parents, and allies. Details will be announced soon.
We call on parents, educators, faith leaders, and the community to stand with us. If you believe:
- Educational Assistants deserve fair pay and benefits.
- Respect in the workplace should not be optional.
- A living wage is a basic right.
Then join us at the rally and make your voice heard.
About the Federation of Catholic Teachers
The Federation of Catholic Teachers is the collective bargaining representative for the lay faculty in both elementary schools and high schools within the Archdiocese of New York. We proudly represent thousands of teachers and other professionals including librarians, guidance counselors, and educational assistants. For the last 50 years, the Federation of Catholic Teachers has fought to improve working conditions, salary, medical insurance, pension benefits and much more. We are pleased to announce that we are now qualified to represent educators in both New York and New Jersey. For more information, visit https://fct153.com.

Sufism Meets Academia: Shaykh Al Karkari’s Talk at Yale

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia
Al-Ahsa Investment Forum 2025 Unveils $3.7 Billion in Investment Opportunities
The Al-Ahsa Investment Forum 2025, which concluded on Thursday, showcased investment opportunities exceeding $3.7 billion across various sectors, including tourism, real estate development, transportation and logistics, industry, and agriculture. The event also featured the signing of more than 20 strategic agreements aimed at bolstering economic growth.
Now, in its seventh edition, the Al-Ahsa Chamber of Commerce organized the forum in collaboration with the Al-Ahsa Development Authority and Saudi Aramco. Held under the patronage of Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province, the event was attended by Prince Saud bin Talal bin Badr, Governor of Al-Ahsa and Chairman of the Forum’s Supreme Committee, along with government officials, industry experts, corporate executives, and investors from both local and international markets.
Since its launch in 2003, the Al-Ahsa Investment Forum has become a key platform for promoting regional investment. Al-Ahsa, located in eastern Saudi Arabia, is renowned for its oil and gas reserves, tourism, agriculture, and industrial projects, particularly energy and petrochemicals.
The forum is critical in highlighting investment opportunities in the public and private sectors, positioning Al-Ahsa as a leading contributor to Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification and energy sector expansion in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
Al-Ahsa’s Agricultural Contributions and Foreign Investment
Addressing the forum, Eng. Mansour bin Hilal Al-Mushaiti, Deputy Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, noted that Al-Ahsa contributes 12% to Saudi Arabia’s agricultural GDP, which reached $29.9 billion in 2024. He highlighted Al-Ahsa’s pioneering achievement as the first Saudi region to attain full water sustainability and efficiency.
Additionally, Eng. Ibrahim bin Youssef Al-Mubarak, Assistant Minister of Investment and CEO of the Saudi Investment Promotion Authority (SIPA), announced that 103 foreign investment licenses had been issued in Al-Ahsa, representing a total investment of $666.7 million. He also revealed new investment opportunities worth approximately $13.3 billion, backed by competitive advantages that position the region as a prime destination for foreign capital.
In a further effort to attract investors, the Saudi Ministry of Investment integrated Al-Ahsa into the “Invest in Saudi Arabia” platform—a digital initiative designed to provide investors with streamlined access to projects, advisory services, and insights into the country’s business climate.
Energy, Storage, and Supply Chain Enhancements
As part of the discussions, Eng. Mohammed Al-Ibrahim, Assistant Minister of Energy for Petroleum and Gas Affairs, announced plans to tender an integrated facility for gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage in Al-Ahsa. The project aims to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure, optimize supply chain operations, and enhance storage and distribution efficiency, with expected annual sales of 2 million barrels by 2030.
Meanwhile, Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser emphasized the importance of the Jafurah unconventional gas project in Al-Ahsa. Estimated to contribute $23 billion annually to Saudi Arabia’s GDP, the Jafurah project is a cornerstone of Aramco’s strategy to increase gas production by more than 60% over the next five years.
As home to some of Saudi Aramco’s largest operational sites, Al-Ahsa is crucial in expanding investment opportunities and creating new jobs. Notably, Jafurah is the largest shale gas field under development in the Middle East, with a projected production capacity of 2 billion standard cubic feet per day of sales gas by 2030, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s status as a key natural gas exporter.
King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) and Industrial Expansion
Saudi Aramco is also spearheading the development of King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), a state-of-the-art industrial hub. Commenting on its progress, Nasser stated:
“We have completed Phase One of SPARK’s development, attracting more than 60 local and international investors with total investments exceeding $3.2 billion, generating over 40,000 direct and indirect jobs.”
As Saudi Arabia continues its economic transformation, Al-Ahsa’s investment ecosystem is poised to play a pivotal role in its long-term growth and industrial expansion.

Moneta Markets CEO Highlights Geopolitical Risks, Safe-Haven Assets, and Strategic Trading Tactics in Exclusive 2025 Market Outlook
In an exclusive market analysis, Moneta Markets founder and CEO David Bily has shared critical insights on navigating the volatile financial landscape of 2025. As geopolitical uncertainty intensifies, Bily outlines the key risks and opportunities for investors and traders, highlighting the rise of safe-haven assets, market shifts, and evolving trading strategies that could define success in the months ahead.
Steering Through Global Uncertainty: Geopolitics and Market Dynamics
Bily underscores 2025 as a year of unprecedented market volatility, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic shifts. “The evolving geopolitical landscape, including U.S. dollar fluctuations under the Trump administration, will exert a profound impact on both Forex and commodity markets,” Bily stated. This uncertainty has fueled record highs in gold, solidifying its status as a safe-haven asset, while oil prices remain volatile due to persistent supply chain disruptions and ongoing regional conflicts.
Shifting Client Behavior: The Rise of Diversification and Disciplined Trading
Investors are diversifying portfolios more aggressively than ever. “While Forex remains a dominant asset class, we are witnessing a significant surge in demand for commodities like gold and oil, along with increased interest in major stock indices,” Bily noted.
Moneta Markets has also observed strong momentum in Share CFDs, particularly in the tech and energy sectors, with companies like NVIDIA, Tesla, Netflix, and Amazon drawing investor attention.
Bily warns against common trading pitfalls: “Novice traders often fall into the trap of chasing market highs and lows or averaging down on losing positions. However, we are seeing a shift toward a more disciplined, strategic approach. Thanks to our educational resources, traders are increasingly cutting losses swiftly and averaging into winning positions—following trends rather than fighting them.”
Education at the Core: Empowering Traders with Knowledge
A strong advocate for trader education, Bily stresses the importance of understanding market fundamentals and technical analysis. “At Moneta, we’ve expanded our educational offerings—webinars, daily market updates, and in-depth trading tutorials—ensuring that traders are equipped to thrive in volatile conditions,” he explained.
2025 Market Outlook: Volatility as the New Norm
The financial markets are already experiencing significant turbulence, with investors pivoting toward safe-haven assets like gold amid inflationary pressures and economic instability.
“Global events and economic policy shifts have fundamentally reshaped market behavior. Forex markets have reacted sharply to tensions and policy changes, oil remains sensitive to supply disruptions, and Bitcoin is making waves as institutional investors enter the space,” Bily added.
Key Advice for Investors: Diversify, Stay Informed, and Think Long-Term
Bily’s key takeaway for investors is clear: “Spread risk across different asset classes, stay informed about market shifts, and always take a long-term approach. At Moneta, we provide the tools, insights, and support needed to help our clients not only survive but thrive in uncertain times.”

LOS ANGELES, CA
Kava Coalition Names Douglas La Rose as Executive Director
The Kava Coalition announced today that Douglas La Rose, an agriculturalist, anthropologist, and international development professional, has joined the Kava Coalition as its new Executive Director.
“The opportunity to further the mission of the Kava Coalition—a future where kava is understood and accessible—is a personal and professional thrill,” La Rose said. “This is a watershed moment in a career building partnerships and relationships from farming communities to kava bars, and I’m excited to get to work on behalf of the Kava Coalition’s members and kava consumers everywhere.”
Douglas has been a passionate advocate for kava since founding the blog Kavasseur in 2007, which grew to include discussion groups, podcasts, and a YouTube channel reviewing kava products. Since then, he has collaborated with kava bars and suppliers to promote kava as a natural means of relaxation and as an alternative to alcohol—efforts that played a key role in popularizing kava in the U.S. and beyond.
“Douglas’s specific experience with kava and general experience in agriculture provides a ready-made trajectory for the Kava Coalition’s continued growth,” said Matthew Lowe, formerly the Kava Coalition’s Executive Director, who will now serve on its board. “I echo our membership in my excitement to bring him aboard, knowing that the Coalition’s leadership is in qualified and capable hands.”
La Rose is an agronomist with extensive experience in agricultural development across more than 30 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Oceania. His expertise in strengthening horticultural value chains and food systems has improved sustainability and resilience in agriculture in the developing world. He holds an M.A. in applied anthropology from San Diego State University, where his research focused on livelihoods and agricultural adaptations to environmental change in Ghana’s forest-savanna transition zone.
About the Kava Coalition
Kava Coalition is an alliance of kava consumers, experts, and industry leaders committed to advancing kava education, advocacy, and choice. The Kava Coalition aims to empower informed decisions about kava, promoting responsible consumption while understanding the importance of preserving kava’s history and cultural heritage.

In its analysis, Shamayev Business Law identifies four key areas of development:
USCIS Modernization
The U.S. government has introduced new policies that simplify visa processes and improve pathways to permanent residency. USCIS focuses on digital tools, offering online applications and digital appointments. For visa applicants, this means faster processing times and greater transparency throughout each step of the application.
Improvements in the Green Card Application Process
Processing times for Green Card applications are expected to decrease in 2025, potentially making the process more accessible. Additionally, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders can now move directly to Green Cards without leaving the U.S.
Development of Investment Immigration
The EB-5 investor visa program now prioritizes projects that contribute to job creation and economic growth. Recent policy updates include tax incentives and business support programs aimed at fostering investment in the U.S.
Changes in Employment Immigration
"The current administration strongly supports legal immigration for highly skilled professionals," says Stanislav Shamayev, founder and leading licensed immigration attorney at Shamayev Business Law. "With increased approvals expected for employment-based visas, particularly in AI, Fintech, Science, Technology, and Blockchain sectors, experts in these fields may have more pathways available in 2025."
Employment-based immigration available paths in 2025 include:
- EB-1 (Talent Visa): For individuals with extraordinary abilities in technology, science, arts, education, business, or sports.
- EB-2 (Work Visa): For professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities in their field.
- EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver): For professionals whose work contributes to U.S. national interests.
- EB-3 (Work Visa): For skilled professionals with bachelor's degrees and experienced workers with at least two years of training.
- EB-5 (Investor Visa): For investors contributing at least $800,000 to U.S. economic growth.

Qnary Launches Amplify Feature To Streamline Executive Social Media Engagement
Today, Qnary, the market leader in modern executive reputation management, announces an addition to its enterprise platform, Amplify. The feature helps communications teams coordinate and optimize social media engagement across multiple executives from the same company in a seamless, pre-planned approach. Qnary’s original executive thought leadership and reputation solution has expanded over the last decade to now support tens to thousands of executives from the same enterprise.
“We are proud of the growth of our enterprise business and continue to add important features to our platform like Amplify,” stated Bant Breen, Founder and CEO of Qnary. “Our new Amplify feature provides an efficient way for company communications leaders to facilitate real-time amplification of announcements, press, and campaigns across LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, and other social platforms in a simple, secure, and error-proof manner.”
Studies show that social media content shared by executives generates 8x more engagement than content posted from brand pages. While executive engagement is crucial for maximizing the reach, trust, and impact of company news, manually coordinating these efforts can be time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to errors. Amplify simplifies this process by allowing communication teams to pre-draft, approve, and schedule executive comments and shares. This ensures a coordinated, timely, and strategic rollout of key messages, maximizing exposure while maintaining consistency across platforms.
“To drive meaningful engagement, it’s essential that not just the brand’s official channels share an announcement, but also that company leaders actively participate by sharing and commenting,” Breen added. “Amplify makes managing this coordination in real-time much easier for organizations.”
Trusted by thousands of executives worldwide, Qnary’s platform helps leaders enhance their digital presence, establish thought leadership, and protect their online reputation. Qnary Amplify further strengthens Qnary’s suite of tools, providing enterprises with an effective solution to elevate executive engagement and amplify brand reputation.
