At Commencement, The Woodlands at Furman Graduates to ‘Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)’ Status

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Woodlands at Furman, a 350+ resident senior living community in partnership with Furman University, has met criteria to be recognized as a “Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)”, the highest category among more than 85 University Retirement Communities (URCs) nationwide. As launched last Fall by UniversityRetirementCommunities.com, the nation’s largest directory and information resource for the rapidly growing model of senior living communities with connection to a host university or college, The Woodlands is the first “Certified UBRC” in the Eastern United States, and second overall, along with Mirabella at ASU in Tempe, Arizona.

“As universities and colleges celebrate Commencement nationwide, we are incredibly proud to ‘graduate’ as a ‘Certified University Based Retirement Community (UBRC),’ the equivalent of magna cum laude status,” stated Rick Brackett, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Woodlands at Furman. “We are truly honored by our partnership with Furman University and the work of the entire team at The Woodlands in creating an active, intellectually stimulating, and intergenerational environment that is reinventing senior living while bringing residents and students together to meet the needs of an aging population.”

“With the continuing growth in the number of University Retirement Communities (URCs) in the U.S. it was imperative to bring structure to this sector, in particular recognizing communities representing the highest level of integration with a host university or college,” stated Andrew Carle, Founder of UniversityRetirementCommunities.com. As Director of the Program in Senior Living Administration at George Mason University, Carle created a 5-criteria model in 2006 for a “University Based Retirement Community (UBRC)” that has been recognized as the standard for defining such communities. The criteria served as the basis for the certification program, with communities meeting all five, along with related standards, eligible for “Certified” status. Carle previously served as Senior Consultant – Health Intelligence for J.D. Power and Associates, for whom he helped lead development of its Certified Senior Living Community program in 2017.

Certification criteria include the proximity of the community to the campus, documented resident-to-university and student-to-community programs, a continuum of senior living services, the percent of residents who are alums or retired university faculty or staff, and a financial relationship between the community and university that supports long term operational success. The Woodlands is located on 99-year leased land from Furman University, and residents can participate in the university’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, receive courtesy greens fees at the Furman Golf Course, and discounts to both athletic and visual and performing arts events. Nearly four dozen residents hold a personal connection to the university, including alums, retired faculty and staff, and past members of the Board of Trustees. The community offers a full continuum of senior living services, while providing easy access for student internships, employment, and volunteer work within the community.

The three-year certification allows the community to display the “Certified UBRC” logo, as well as receive the highest search ranking on the UniversityRetirementCommunities.com website.

CCHR Warns: Millions of Children Exposed to Risky Psychiatric Drugs

LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A federal assessment of children’s health has identified the widespread prescribing of psychotropic drugs to U.S. youth as a “public crisis” driven by industry profit motives, flawed science, and systemic conflicts of interest. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anti-anxiety drugs were leading the surge.[1] According to the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR), a mental health industry watchdog, this is fueling a psychotropic drug market that reaps $22.6 billion annually.

CCHR Warns: Millions of Children Exposed to Risky Psychiatric Drugs
Image caption: “Profit-driven psychiatry is putting children at risk with no science to justify diagnoses or drugs.” – Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International.

CCHR advised parents to become better informed about the risks of psychotropic drugs, including benzodiazepines or anti-anxiety drugs prescribed to children. CCHR offers a 16-page educational booklet, Psychiatric Drugs & Your Child’s Future, and the documentary Dead Wrong, which features bereaved parents who lost children to psychiatric drug effects, especially antidepressants—black box-warned for suicide in 2004, more than 15 years after Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

HHS reported that prescriptions for stimulants rose 250% between 2006 and 2016. By 2022, 11% of all children—and nearly 25% of boys—had a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), despite no medical test to confirm the behavioral symptoms. Long-term trials of ADHD drugs show no academic, behavioral, or social benefit beyond 14 months—and a loss of height averaging one inch. Teen use of antidepressants increased 1,400% between 1987 and 2014, and over 2 million prescriptions were written for adolescents in 2022 alone.[2]

Antipsychotic drug use among children grew 800% between 1995 and 2009, with 66% prescribed off-label—including for ADHD and “aggression.” Antipsychotics in adolescent boys may cause up to 5x more gynecomastia (male breast growth); 4x more extrapyramidal effects (movement disorders); and 6–8x more weight gain than placebo. Meanwhile, serious side effects—including seizures, cardiac issues, male breast growth, and prolonged withdrawal syndromes—are widely documented.[3]

CCHR, which has tracked what it calls mass-prescribed drug child abuse since its founding in 1969, said the situation is even more dire than the HHS report reveals. Using data from IQVia’s Total Patient Tracker Database for 2020, CCHR found:

  • 1 million 0–17-year-olds were prescribed ADHD stimulants,
  • 15 million were on antidepressants,
  • 15 million were taking anti-anxiety drugs, including highly addictive benzodiazepines, and
  • 829,372 were prescribed antipsychotics known to cause neurological damage.[4]

Combined, over 6.1 million children and teens were drugged—representing more than 8.2% of the U.S. youth population.[5]

Psychotropic polypharmacy is especially prevalent among youth covered by Medicaid. A 2024 study found a rise in multiple drug use in this group, increasing the risk of adverse medical outcomes. Researchers reviewed 126,972 Medicaid recipients who had received at least one psychotropic drug and had continuous coverage for 90+ days. The prevalence of polypharmacy rose from 4.2% in 2015 to 4.6% in 2020, with higher rates among those in foster care (10.8% to 11.3%), the Children’s Health Program (2.2% to 2.8%), and low-income households (2.1% to 2.8%).[6]

The problem is exacerbated by drug misuse. In 2018, almost 16% of U.S. college students said they misused prescription stimulants.[7] A 2023 survey of college students who reported using prescription stimulants revealed that about 21.7% had taken a higher-than-prescribed dose in the past three months.[8] Many students mistakenly believe one ADHD stimulant to be no more harmful than coffee, assuming it is safe because it’s prescribed by doctors.[9]

Youth drug overdoses on prescription drugs is also a serious risk. In 2019, 4,777 U.S. youth died from drug overdoses; 727 involved benzodiazepines and 902 involved psychostimulants. In 2020, 2,928 nonfatal benzodiazepine overdoses were reported among youth aged 15 to 24. Among these, 29% had a prescription in the previous month and 42% within six months. Intentional overdoses were more likely among those with recent prescriptions. Fifty-six percent of benzodiazepine overdoses were intentional compared with 40% of stimulant overdoses.[10]

The FDA issued a black box warning in 2020 for benzodiazepines, citing “risks of abuse, misuse, and addiction, which can lead to overdose or death.”[11]

A 2022 study in Pediatrics found that a quarter of insured teens who overdosed on anxiety or ADHD drugs had received a recent prescription.[12]

HHS linked the rise in drug use to broadened diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), expanded in 2013 by panels with financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. This contributed to a 40-fold increase in childhood diagnoses such as ADHD and bipolar disorder. Yet, no psychiatric-defined disorder meets the scientific definition of a disease. Former U.S. National Institute of Mental Health Director Thomas Insel stated: “Unlike our definitions of ischemic heart disease, lymphoma, or AIDS, the DSM diagnoses are based on a consensus about clusters of clinical symptoms, not any objective laboratory measure.”[13]

CCHR, established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and professor of psychiatry, Dr. Thomas Szasz, has achieved significant reforms in this area, including a 2004 federal law prohibiting schools from forcing students onto psychotropic drugs as a requisite for their education. Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International, said: “Profit-driven psychiatry is putting children at risk with no science to justify diagnoses or drugs.” CCHR stresses that the nation’s child mental health system requires a complete overhaul—eliminating treatments that expose children to suicide, addiction, physical harm, and institutional profiteering.

Hillcrest CEO Matthew Neeley Recognized as Outstanding Community Leader for Compassionate Leadership and Community Service

LA VERNE, Calif., May 30, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Matthew Neeley, President and CEO of Hillcrest, an age-qualified community in La Verne, was recently honored as an Outstanding Community Leader at the NAACP Pomona Valley Branch 6th Annual Freedom Fund Event. Through his compassionate leadership and steadfast commitment to serving others, Neeley has led efforts that uplift individuals, bridge divides and build a stronger, more inclusive community.

“We celebrate Matthew Neeley for his dedicated service to the city of Pomona and surrounding communities and honor him for his compassion, generosity, and commitment to serving our community,” said Jeanette EllisRoyston, President of the NAACP Pomona Valley Branch.

This philosophy of service was evident during Hillcrest’s rapid response to the Eaton Fire, which displaced senior residents from The Terraces at Park Marino. Upon receiving a call for assistance, Neeley and his team mobilized within 24 hours to prepare fully furnished, move-in-ready apartments. The displaced seniors were welcomed into the Hillcrest community with care and dignity.

“A great community leader clears the runway for meaningful change, ensuring that good things happen for those in need,” said Neeley. “If each of us uses the influence we have in service of others, we will create stronger, more connected communities.”

In another act of compassionate leadership, Neeley responded to the urgent needs of an Afghan refugee family—providing a safe home on the Hillcrest campus and rallying local faith communities to help them transition to life in the U.S. Today, the children are thriving in school and the parents are employed in their new community.

During a moment of national reckoning in 2020, Neeley listened as a Hillcrest resident shared her sorrow in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, recalling decades of civil rights struggles. Deeply moved, he wrote a poem that expressed solidarity and hope, which sparked meaningful conversations within the Hillcrest community. He later shared a public letter with 35 peer CEOs, encouraging empathy-driven leadership and continued progress toward equity and understanding. This spirit of unity led to new internal initiatives that continue to foster cultural awareness and dialogue at Hillcrest today.

“Caring for others in times of crisis is at the heart of Hillcrest’s mission,” said Neeley. “We don’t just serve our own residents—we serve the larger community as well.”

About Hillcrest

Greene Tree Care Helps Ventura County Residents Prepare for Wildfire Season with Defensible Space Services

With insurance cancellations on the rise and the June 1 defensible space deadline approaching, the certified arborists at Greene Tree Care ramp up fire clearance operations and community outreach

VENTURA, Calif., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, property owners face dual threats: wildfires and insurance cancellations. In an effort to help their clients manage both, Greene Tree Care — a family-owned business headquartered in Camarillo, California — has expanded its defensible space services.

Image caption: Greene Tree Care services removing a Mexican fan palm.

Homeowners, HOA managers, and estate and commercial property owners can access these services by calling the Greene Tree Care team. The company is accepting urgent requests for the removal of high-risk trees and brush. They aim to help property owners as insurance providers threaten non-renewals, summer temperatures climb, and Ventura and Los Angeles Counties approach their June 1 Defensible Space deadlines.

“We’re seeing more and more homeowners caught off guard by insurance letters demanding immediate action,” Leigh Fleming, Owner at Greene Tree Care, explains. “The key is proactive, professional maintenance — not just for compliance, but to truly protect homes, families, and communities.”

The Greene Tree Care team is led by certified arborists. The company has more than 30 years of experience and is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. This helps property owners offset concerns from their own insurance providers.

It also helps them keep compliance with Ventura County Fire Code Chapter 49, which requires a defensible space of 100 feet from structures and 10 feet from roads. This defensible space slows the spread of wildfire and protects structures, making it a key part of local wildfire mitigation efforts.

Property owners who are unsure if they’re in compliance and have protected their property can request an inspection through https://wildfireprepared.org/. In some cases, property owners can even use the inspection as proof of a hazard being resolved, enabling them to reinstate insurance coverage.

Leveraging that inspection report or their own expertise — and backed by Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping — the Greene Tree Care team helps property owners make sound decisions. Their certified arborists are knowledgeable about local vegetation and wildfire conditions and specialize in high-risk removals. They may recommend the removal of species like eucalyptus, pine, and palm, for example, which all pose higher risks and are often flagged by insurance companies. Greene Tree Care has the experience and tools needed to help property owners understand — and best manage — their wildfire risk.

Greene Tree Care serves areas throughout Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, including Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, and the surrounding Conejo Valley neighborhoods.

Anyone from a homeowner to the owner of an estate to the manager of an HOA can turn to Greene Tree Care for a long-term partner to help manage their property.

To schedule a free estimate, call the team at (805) 484-9900. Or to learn more about the available services, including land clearing for fire safety, visit https://www.greenetreecare.com/.

About Greene Tree Care:

Greene Tree Care established a reputation for providing truly professional tree service more than 30 years ago. Throughout the subsequent decades, their team has solidified their status as the go-to experts when it comes to all things trees.

Greene Tree Care’s clients trust their judgement, recommendations, and the quality of their work because the results speak for themselves. As a company, they understand the value of creating lifelong partnerships. The properties they service and the relationships they’ve developed are not viewed as one-time events but rather as years-long affairs. They care about the long-term health of each client’s property.

Cayden – The Virtual Artist Reimagining Emotional Pop, Drops Debut Single ‘Esperanza’

LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Meet Cayden: not just the future of pop music, but a voice from another world literally. Hailing from a richly imagined parallel universe, Cayden makes his debut on Earth with the release of “Esperanza,” an emotionally charged single that blends cinematic pop production with an urgent call for compassion, Sixth P Media announced today.

Cayden - The Virtual Artist Reimagining Emotional Pop Drops Debut Single ESPERANZA
Image caption: Cayden – The Virtual Artist Reimagining Emotional Pop Drops Debut Single “Esperanza.”

Rooted in Latin-inspired melodies and moody, atmospheric soundscapes, “Esperanza” channels the heartbreak of separation experienced by displaced families. Cayden’s vocal performance carries themes of loss, longing, and quiet resilience—inviting listeners into a story that feels both otherworldly and deeply human.

But Cayden isn’t just here to sing—he’s here to spark change. The single anchors a 12-week social impact campaign on TikTok and Instagram, rallying creators, musicians, and nonprofits to amplify stories of survival, hope, and justice. From mass deportations to mental health and climate displacement, the campaign uses storytelling to illuminate shared struggles and inspire collective healing.

Hashtags like #CaydenEsperanza and #HumanNotIllegal will serve as digital threads connecting thousands of user-generated stories around hope.

More than a virtual performer, Cayden represents a new kind of artist one who crosses dimensions and emotional boundaries alike. His voice, enhanced with advanced technology and grounded in live vocal performances, underscores the project’s commitment to emotional authenticity. The result? A character who may be virtual, but whose message is undeniably real.

ABOUT THE SONG: “ESPERANZA”

“Esperanza” – Spanish for hope – is an emotive anthem about separation, survival, and the strength to hold on. From its first haunting note, Cayden’s performance channels the heartache of marginalized communities around the world, offering not just recognition, but resonance.

A WORD FROM THE CREATORS

“Cayden isn’t just about cutting-edge animation,” says co-creator Elizabeth Daro. “He’s an artist who travels between worlds—real and imagined—to give voice to stories that often go unheard. His mission has always been emotional connection.”

“Esperanza” is now streaming on all major platforms. Join the movement. Share your story. #CaydenEsperanza

Friday Harbor unveils AI-powered condition engine to deliver faster, cleaner, audit-ready mortgage files

New functionality generates plain-language, color-coded conditions with full audit trail, enabling originators to resolve issues in real time and cut days off the loan process

SEATTLE, Wash., May 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, today announced the launch of a retooled condition engine that automatically generates actionable underwriting conditions based on borrower source documents and loan guidelines.

Friday Harbor logo
Image caption: Friday Harbor.

Unlike traditional “stare and compare” tools that flag generic issues, Friday Harbor’s condition engine reads the full context of the loan file—including borrower documents, AUS findings and lender overlays—and outputs conditions that are immediately usable by loan officers, processors and borrowers. Each condition is written in plain English, color-coded by urgency and supported by documentation that gives underwriters a ready-made audit trail.

“In most mortgage workflows today, identifying conditions is a game of hot potato between departments. Friday Harbor solves that by delivering conditions in real time that are actionable at the beginning of the borrower journey, not just in the underwriting queue,” said Theo Ellis, co-founder and CEO of Friday Harbor. “We’re empowering originators to spot and solve issues earlier, which leads to cleaner files, faster closings and dramatically lower costs to originate.”

The new engine doesn’t just catch obvious clerical gaps. It’s also trained to spot nuanced issues such as:

  • Red flags for occupancy and other types of fraud
  • Unexplained large deposits
  • Missing documentation
  • Undisclosed liabilities

For each flagged issue, Friday Harbor provides a proposed resolution path and direct links to applicable guidelines. For junior loan officers, the engine pairs with the platform’s AI-powered Scenario Desk to explain next steps or script borrower communications. For underwriters, it offers full traceability, with source documents and reasoning behind every condition.

Friday Harbor’s AI underwriter is already used by some of the nation’s most forward-thinking lenders, including Partners Bank, NewFed Mortgage, Developer’s Mortgage Company and Paramount Residential Mortgage Group. The company is backed by the AI2 Incubator, a technical incubator born from the Allen Institute for AI in Seattle, and was recently funded by leading Silicon Valley venture firms including Abstract Ventures, Mischief and Wischoff Ventures.

To learn more about how Friday Harbor is helping level the playing field for the more than 4,500 mortgage lenders competing with the tech arms of Rocket and UWM, visit https://fridayharbor.ai/.

About Friday Harbor:

Friday Harbor is an AI-powered platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time. The company combines deep fintech expertise with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to remove complexity, slash origination costs and deliver a better borrower experience.

New Joint and Spine Clinic to Open on Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., May 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lutheran Home announced the opening of a new Joint and Spine Clinic on its campus, adding to the full spectrum of care and services conveniently offered. The clinic opens in June and provides innovative and interventional treatments for musculoskeletal pain. This first-of-its-kind clinic within a senior living community will offer both evaluations and treatments, eliminating the need for hospital visits for many procedures.

New Joint and Spine Clinic to Open on Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights
Image caption: New Joint and Spine Clinic opens next week on the Lutheran Home Campus in Arlington Heights.

Led by esteemed physicians Dr. Sajjad Murtaza and Dr. Akash Jindal, the clinic will serve the residents of Lutheran Home as well as the broader Arlington Heights community. Dr. Murtaza, a double board-certified specialist in sports medicine and interventional pain, has a long-standing presence in the northwest Chicago area and helped establish the Spine Center at Northwest Community Hospital.

Lutheran Home’s many services help residents with a full spectrum of care and services, including its MyRehab, which offers outpatient and short-term rehabilitation therapy. The new Joint and Spine clinic will work cooperatively with MyRehab, providing treatments in a light-filled environment that features private suites, a state-of-the-art therapy gym, atrium spaces, spacious living rooms and bistro-style dining.

“This clinic is designed to optimize therapy and work closely with the MyRehab physical therapy suite to provide customized, post-treatment plans,” said Dr. Murtaza. “We want to educate the community on pain management options and introduce them to treatments that can significantly improve their quality of life.”

The Joint and Spine Clinic will focus on identifying pain generators and addressing the root causes of pain through non-surgical, interventional medicine. The clinic will not offer opioids or chiropractic care but will instead provide advanced procedures such as diagnostic injections, EMG imaging and therapeutic interventions for spine and joint conditions. While imaging such as MRIs will be conducted at local hospitals, many treatments, including injections, will be available on-site.

“This new clinic is a perfect addition to our campus, offering residents and community members convenient access to outstanding doctors and cutting-edge treatments,” said Jennifer Darnell, VP of Sales & Marketing at Lutheran Life Communities. “We are happy to offer these innovative treatments to enhance the health and wellness of our residents, and having these services available on-site means they can conveniently receive expert care.”

SERVICES OFFERED AT THE JOINT AND SPINE CLINIC:

  • Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
  • Lumbar Diagnostic Medial Branch Blocks
  • Lumbar Facet Injection
  • Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation
  • Joint Injections (Hips, SI Joint, Shoulders and Knees)
  • EMG-NCV Test (Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Velocity)
  • Cervical Diagnostic Medial Branch Blocks
  • All procedures are done under fluoroscopic guidance.

Currently, 40% of patients at Dr. Murtaza’s other clinics are seniors who receive physical medicine and rehabilitation. With a majority of residents at Lutheran Home experiencing at least one spine or joint issue, this clinic aims to meet a significant need. By bringing treatment directly to the Lutheran Home campus, residents and community members will benefit from a local, convenient resource.

“We have found that most patients are not even aware or have never been educated on what treatments are available for their joint and spine pain and the great outcomes they can have,” said Dr. Murtaza. “We are looking forward to offering relief to Lutheran Home residents and to the community.”

The clinic will begin with limited hours, and accepts most private insurance plans and Medicare. Patients will also have access to convenient communication methods, including text-based appointment updates and a secure HIPAA-compliant system for submitting insurance information.

Appointments at the Joint and Spine Clinic can be made by calling 312-757-4647 or visiting our website at https://mipainchicago.com/.

On June 10, Dr. Murtaza will lead a presentation at Lutheran Home to explain how the Spine and Joint’s pain management physiatrists use evidence-based approaches to managing pain, enhancing mobility and improving your quality of life—all without the risks associated with narcotic medications.

Boris Cepeda releases ‘Andamios,’ a personal journey through Latin American and European piano music

ATLANTA, Ga., May 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Internationally acclaimed pianist and Steinway Artist Boris Cepeda announces the release of his latest solo album, “Andamios,” now available on all major digital platforms. Featuring works by Isaac Albéniz, Maurice Ravel, Astor Piazzolla, Gerardo Guevara and Leonardo Cárdenas, “Andamios” blends Latin American and European musical traditions in a deeply personal and emotionally resonant recording.

Image caption: Cover of “Andamios,” Boris Cepeda’s new solo piano album featuring works from Europe and Latin America.

Recorded in Atlanta on a Hamburg Steinway Grand Model B, “Andamios” captures the intimate nuances of Cepeda’s interpretation. The album is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube and other platforms. Listen here: https://www.boriscepeda.hearnow.com.

“Sincerity, humanity, authenticity, those were my guiding lights while recording ‘Andamios,’” Cepeda said. “I wanted the sound to emerge from silence, as something natural and unforced. Not perfection in a studio sense, but truth in tone, in timing, in feeling. It’s a tribute to memory and identity, and to the invisible threads connecting composers and listeners across time and continents.”

The album includes works ranging from the Spanish romanticism of Albéniz to the French impressionism of Ravel, alongside modern voices from Latin America: Ecuadorian composers Gerardo Guevara and Leonardo Cárdenas, and Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla, with ‘Adiós Nonino’ arranged for solo piano.

Cepeda dedicates the album to the memory of his father, Gonzalo Cepeda, and to the love of his life, while acknowledging the many friends, family members and supporters who made the production possible through grassroots contributions.

“Andamios” has been submitted for consideration at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards in the categories of album of the year and best classical album.

Peanut the Squirrel: MAGA’s Cutest Martyr Immortalized in Statue in NYC Art Exhibit

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A movement’s beloved squirrel is being unveiled as a heroic MAGA icon in New York’s Chelsea gallery district. In “Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art,” Peanut the Squirrel is memorialized in a gruesome form as a tiny martyr alongside political titans Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and President Donald Trump, ready to do their bidding for a fantastical third-term campaign, the Iconoclast Room announced today.

Image caption: Peanut the Squirrel in “Project 29: The MAGAnaut,” featured in “Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art” at Chelsea Gallery District, New York. Underlying art shown in images is Copr. © Daniel Edwards.

Peanut’s story began in 2024, when city officials euthanized a squirrel suspected of rabies. What could have been a fleeting public health incident was transformed by MAGA outrage and a viral post by Elon Musk into a right-wing folk tale of “government overreach.”

In “Opposing Visions,” a MAGA-hat-clad Peanut reappears at the base of Daniel Edwards’s “Project 29: The MAGAnaut” – a towering, grotesque cyborg hybrid of Trump, Musk, and RFK Jr.

Here, Peanut haunts the exhibit in a kind of afterlife, clawing for relevance from beyond the grave. “Peanut is back to exact revenge on the liberal government that killed him,” Post-Internet artist XVALA says. “He’s the spirit of the culture war—scrappy, and unwilling to stay dead.”

XVALA’s own contribution is a gold-plated bronze MAGA hat designed for ceremonial display atop the Resolute Desk, offering a reverent counterpoint to Edwards’s dystopian satire. Where Edwards skewers Trump’s persistence with a grotesque vision of biotech-fueled power, XVALA treats the MAGA movement as revolutionary heritage. This tension between dark satire and genuine veneration animates the volatile heart of Opposing Visions.

Alongside Edwards and XVALA, Jarva Land’s stark pen-and-ink courtroom sketches of Trump’s ongoing legal battles add a sobering counterpoint – a reminder of the real-world consequences behind the pageantry.

WHEN AND WHERE:

Experience “Opposing Visions: The Trump Era in Art” at the Iconoclast Room, located in the West Chelsea Building at 526 W 26th Street, Room 511, New York, NY. The exhibition runs from May 27–31, 2025.

There will be a press opportunity on Thursday and Friday mornings, an art gallery walk on Thursday evening, and an Artists’ Reception on Friday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. ET.

‘This Is Me!’ – A heartfelt debut novel exploring identity, love, and acceptance in a small Australian town, just in time for Pride Month

COOMBS, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, May 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released in the lead-up to Pride Month this June, “This Is Me!” (ISBN: 978-1779628541) Book One in the “Finding Ourselves” series by debut author Aspen Thomas, is a moving and timely novel that delves into self-discovery, authenticity, and resilience in the face of societal pressure.

BOOK: THIS IS ME! by Aspen Thomas
Image caption: “This Is Me!” by Aspen Thomas.

Published by Tellwell Publishing, “This Is Me!” follows Luke Corbett, a young man returning to his conservative hometown of Gamarra after years living in Canberra. Struggling to reconcile who he is with where he comes from, Luke faces the challenge of living openly in a place that may not be ready to accept him. When a long-lost childhood friend resurfaces, old feelings reawaken and Luke must choose between staying silent or embracing his truth.

Part coming-of-age, part quiet revolution, “This Is Me!” captures the tension of living authentically in a world that often demands conformity. With lyrical prose and vivid character development, Aspen Thomas offers a tender portrayal of love, identity, and courage, deeply rooted in the rural Australian experience.

“I wanted to tell a story that felt real. Growing up gay, autistic, and with ADHD in a small town shaped the way I see the world and how I write. Luke’s story is fictional, but the feelings, the fears, the moments of joy, they’re very much my own,” said Thomas.

As Pride Month approaches, “This Is Me!” is a timely reminder of the importance of visibility and diverse storytelling. In Australia, nearly 10% of young adults aged 16 to 24 identify as LGBTQ+, reflecting a growing demand for authentic, inclusive stories that reflect real lives. With LGBTQ+ romance literature experiencing a global surge in readership, up more than 700% over five years, “This Is Me!” stands proudly among a new wave of powerful queer voices shaping contemporary fiction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

ASPEN THOMAS is a science and mathematics educator, avid tennis player, and lifelong storyteller. Raised in the small Riverina town of Goolgowi and now based in Coombs, ACT, Aspen draws inspiration from his rural roots, his experiences as a neurodivergent individual, and his passion for honest, human stories. This Is Me! marks his literary debut and the beginning of the Finding Ourselves series. Learn more: https://aspenthomas-writes.com/

SESLOC Credit Union Partners with Dovenmuehle to Enhance Mortgage Servicing for Members

LAKE ZURICH, Ill., May 27, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc.

Deemed Wild and Dangerous – But Fish & Game Can’t Produce a Single Document or Respond to Our Records Request

LA MESA, Calif., May 21, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On February 12, 2025, a formal Public Records Act (PRA) request was submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission seeking documentation to justify the classification of domestic ferrets as “not normally domesticated in California” by LegalizeFerrets.org. The request specifically asked for any scientific studies, internal memos, environmental risk assessments, or correspondence used to uphold the ongoing prohibition of domestic ferrets under Title 14, Section 671 of the California Code of Regulations.

LegalizeFerrets.org
Image caption: While the months fly by, we’re still waiting for answers. Our Public Records Act request to the California Fish and Game Commission has gone unanswered—just like the last 35 years of silence.

As of today – more than 90 days later – no responsive records have been produced.

We acknowledge and appreciate the professional efforts of Executive Director Melissa Miller-Henson and her staff, particularly Cynthia McKeith, who confirmed receipt of our request and committed to transparency. This is not a failure of staff, who were given an impossible task: to produce evidence that likely doesn’t exist.

“We’re not angry with the staff. In fact, we feel for them. Melissa Miller-Henson inherited a legacy of bureaucratic neglect. We’re sorry she got stuck with this,” said Pat Wright, who submitted the request. “But after 35 years of petitions being ignored or quietly denied without justification, we’re done being silent.”

The request asked for documents dating back to 1931, when the original mustelid regulation was enacted. The public has a right to know: was the ferret ban ever based on actual evidence, or has it simply persisted unchallenged?

In the absence of records, this silence speaks volumes. The California Fish and Game Commission owes the public more than a stall – it owes an explanation.

We remain committed to transparency, due process, and accountability in our campaign to legalize domestic ferrets in California. All responses, or lack thereof, will be documented publicly.

With deep roots in delivering better sound to the professional and consumer audio markets, and with more than a billion devices worldwide using THAT Corp’s core technologies, the Total Sonics division has developed a suite of acclaimed audio enhancement technologies, including Total Sonics speaker optimization, Total Volume® loudness control, Total Surround® virtual surround sound, Total Cal® automated in-home tuning, and Total Bass™ psychoacoustic bass processing. Total Sonics has also partnered with Psy(x) Research to integrate Total Immersion™ virtual height processing into the Total suite. All of Total Sonics’ algorithms are designed with efficiency in mind and run on common SoCs and DSPs, improving sound quality without burdening TV’s, powered speakers, tablets and more with added cost, circuitry, or complexity.

According to Total Sonics’ Vice President, Tim Brault, “Since we’ve been actively demonstrating our algorithms’ capabilities, manufacturers of all sorts of products – from TV’s and powered speakers to mobile devices and PCs – have marveled at how well the Total Sonics suite improves the audio experience.”

Brault continues, “This appeals to manufacturers for several key reasons: our technology improves their product’s performance-to-value ratios by enabling less expensive products to perform at levels normally associated with more expensive designs. And they save cost by not requiring expensive additional componentry, and by shrinking the development time required to get products to market.”

The Total Sonics technologies are being adopted by more and more manufacturers around the world. More information can be found at their website: https://totalsonics.com/.
