Adoptees, Adoptive Parents, Birth Parents, Birth Families, Social Workers & All Impacted by Adoption Are Invited to Submit Their StoriesCHICAGO - May 7, 2025 - PRLog -- New National Nonprofit Launches toCapture Firsthand Accounts of Adoption StoriesFrom 1920's to 2020(May 7, 2025 – Chicago) – As we celebrate all moms this Mother's Day, a new nonprofit, the Adoption Chronicles Project, launches to capture the stories of adoptees along with their adoptive and birth mothers, parents and families. The organization's mission is to uncover and preserve the many stories about adoption that exist in our world, especially while people are still around to share their experiences.All individuals impacted by adoption are invited to share their stories at www.adoptionschronicles.org. The Adoption Chronicles Project already showcases feature stories on the organization's website for inspiration: a woman in her 80's who lived for 60 years not knowing her true birth story; a biracial adoptee with a compelling story about her ethnic origins and a heartwarming reunion with her birth mother; and the founder, an adoptive parent, who has been involved in over 4,500 adoptions from 17 different countries."It is our goal to capture the stories, good and bad, with a special emphasis to document the history of experiences from decades ago while those affected are still around to still share about their experiences," explains Adoption Chronicles Founder, Richard Pearlman. "The stories that exist can go from heartbreaking to heartwarming, but the important part is capturing them. We felt that Mother's Day was a meaningful time to launch and honor both women who yearn to become mothers and the ones who believe placing their child with another mother provides the best future for their child."Donations are also being accepted through the organization's website to help support this effort to document and preserve the historical accounts of adoptees, adoptive families, and birth parents. Options range from monthly recurring donations to more creative options like sponsoring produced videos to document and preserve people sharing their stories.AboutThe Adoption Chronicles is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit established to collect and showcase the stories of adoptees and their adoptive and birth parents from the modern era of adoption (1920 to 2020). Based in Chicago, the organization's mission is to preserve the many stories about adoption that exist in our world, especially before these cherished, and sometimes challenging, experiences are lost to the passing of time.Special note to mediaWe have several people who could be available for interviews, including the stories referenced above.

VENICE, Italy - May 7, 2025 - PRLog -- "The Tide," a thought-provoking new project by researchers Mat Travizano and Marco Bressan at Biennale Architettura 2025 in Venice, offers a unique window into the perspectives of young generations worldwide, exploring their feelings about the rapidly changing urban landscapes they are inheriting. The Exhibition running from May 10th through November 23rd, 2025 is located across the Arsenale and the Giardini della Biennale.Visitors to "The Tide" will encounter an environment dynamically reflecting global youth sentiment, sourced ethically and interpreted artistically. The project fosters intergenerational dialogue, helping younger generations participate in decisions shaping their future. "The Tide" confronts the misconception of youth disengagement by bringing their hopes and fears to the forefront—amplifying them to decision-makers and society.Marco Bressan, focusing on the project's experiential nature, states: "We live in a world where decisions made today will shape generations to come... While young people care deeply, their voices are somehow ignored... One of the most powerful impacts of AI will be mediating in a new many-to-one dialogue. I see 'The Tide' as an early exploration of what that could look like."The AI-driven experience begins by gathering hopes and fears for the future from young people globally (including X, Instagram, WhatsApp, Reddit, and Telegram). This data trains a specialized AI representing the youth zeitgeist. Visitors engage in real-time voice conversations with this collective AI via interactive "Tide Stations," resembling ocean sensing devices. AI agents filter and participate in the ongoing global discussions, ensuring integrity, with insights translated into multilingual audio experiences. Notably, over 80% of the AI engagement and experience technologies deployed are less than six months old.Mat Travizano, an artist and technologist focused on turning collective digital expression into participatory systems for change, explains the exhibit's technological core: "We've trained an AI system to capture the complex emotional landscape young people navigate as they confront the future of their cities and planet. Drawing its intelligence from the vast, flowing conversations happening across social media—a digital tide of sentiment—it proposes a new kind of intergenerational dialogue: one that is nuanced, data-driven, and emotionally resonant."Beyond the Biennale Architettura 2025, The Tide platform is designed for scalability, adaptable for participatory decision-making in policy, urban planning, corporate strategy, and other fields requiring collective intelligence. The physical Tide Stations are built with over 60% recycled materials, featuring modular designs for reusability and minimal environmental impact.The Tide came to life through the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team including Marco Bressan, Mat Travizano, Ivan Raskovsky (technology lead), Joaquin Bressan and Albert Martinez (technology development), Julia Aleu (production), and Marc Aleu (physical installations).

BALTIMORE - May 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Interview by Jithendra Jithu.Jithu: Can you please introduce yourself?Hurst: My name is Christian Hurst. I grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We weren't a family of means. I've actually always been grateful for that. My imagination took me to other worlds as far back as I can remember. Most kids have a quick answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Mine was always "artist"—but in my mind, there were always a thousand things I wanted to be and a thousand adventures I wanted to have. I ended up getting most of my formal education in graphic design and writing.Jithu: When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?Hurst: I've been writing since I was 11—and I'm pretty sure I've been storytelling since birth. Whether it was adventures with stuffed animals, action figures, or acting out ridiculous scenarios with my siblings and friends, stories have always been there. Later, I wrote comics, poetry, video games, plays—you name it.Jithu: How long does it take you to write a book?Hurst: If you're asking about finishing a book, that's tricky. I always have about a hundred ideas kicking around in my head, so sometimes it's hard to focus long enough to finish just one. But I think that's a good thing. The stories that stick—the ones that demand to be written—are usually the ones I end up putting out into the world.Some stories fall out of me because they've been rolling around for a long time. I've finished a draft in as little as 2–3 months before. Others have taken years...Read the full interview here: https://open.substack.com/pub/christianhurst/p/sci-fi-author-christian-hurst-onLearn more at https://www.churstpublishing.com/.Photos: (Click photo to enlarge) Source: Jithendra JithuRead Full Story - Sci-Fi Author Christian Hurst on Creativity, Resilience, and Making Art Anyway | More news from this sourcePress release distribution by PRLog

Stay ahead with exclusive insights into Apple's latest lineup—ideal for resellers navigating iOS, storage, performance, and resale strategy.MIAMI - May 6, 2025 - PRLog -- With the buzz around iOS 18 and Apple's upcoming releases, resellers are asking the big questions. At Today's Closeout—America's trusted wholesale source—we're unpacking the essentials to help our partners stay sharp and stock smart.iOS 18 Support: What Resellers Need to KnowDevices from the iPhone XR and newer support iOS 18, including SE 2nd/3rd gens. But "partial support" matters—features like AI tools or Siri's enhancements may be limited on older models. Knowing what's missing helps minimize returns and set the right customer expectations. We label all our listings clearly with iOS compatibility.Choosing the Right iPhone 16 Series ModelThe iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are strong mid-range picks with the A17 chip. The Pro models bring serious firepower: titanium build, ProMotion displays, and the A18 Pro chip. Power users and creators lean toward the 16 Pro Max, while budget-conscious shoppers will love the standard 16.Budget Spotlight: iPhone 16e vs. SE 3The iPhone 16e is the no-frills powerhouse—modern design, Face ID, iOS 18, and a strong chip. It outpaces the SE 3 in both design and future-proofing. If you're targeting price-sensitive markets, the 16e hits the sweet spot.Storage & Accessories: Straight TalkiPhones don't support expandable storage. They come in fixed capacities (128GB–1TB). Upsell options? Cloud storage or wireless drives. And yes—Bluetooth keyboards pair just fine. It's a small upsell with big potential for productivity-minded customers.Generational Shifts & Market StrategyThe iPhone 14 still sells on price. The 15 brings USB-C and better battery. The 16 series? It's about AI, camera upgrades, and a faster chip. Offering all three models helps you serve every buyer profile—from bargain hunters to bleeding-edge fans.Don't Ditch the ClassicsiPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X are still viable in secondary and international markets. They're great for schools, trade-in programs, and Touch ID lovers. We offer tested, certified bulk inventory to keep you covered.SIMs Made SimpleiPhones pre-14 offer nano-SIM and eSIM.

Kemeny, Ramp & Renaud Issues Industry Guidance Alert Following Major Construction Law RulingEAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. - May 6, 2025 - PRLog -- Following a pivotal ruling from the New Jersey Supreme Court issued yesterday that could reshape how contractors approach public project bids, Kemeny, Ramp & Renaud, LLC issued a Guidance Alert for construction professionals and public procurement officials.On May 5, 2025, the state's highest court ruled in In the Matter of Protest Filed by El Sol Contracting and Construction Corp. that a $70.8 million bid for a Newark Bay bridge redecking project was rightfully rejected by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) because of a technical flaw in the bid paperwork — a defect the Court found unwaivable under New Jersey law. More information about the case may be found here.The law firm's alert provides key takeaways and risk mitigation strategies for contractors and agencies navigating the public bidding process."This case is a sobering reminder to contractors: even minor paperwork issues — like an improperly worded Power of Attorney — can sink a multimillion-dollar bid," said Alex Kemeny, Managing Partner of Kemeny, Ramp & Renaud. "Our Guidance Alert outlines what went wrong, what the Court decided, and how public contractors can avoid the same fate."What Contractors Need to KnowThe firm's Guidance Alert offers a contractor-focused breakdown of the ruling, outlining the major implications:

"JOSHWAY was born out of a bold idea: that young people can and should lead in the nonprofit space. We built this platform to collaborate, to fill gaps, and to dream without limitation. Today's ribbon cutting is not a finish line, it's the beginning of something much bigger."JOSHWAY was founded by Robertson in 2023 in memory of his brother, Joshua Devon Robertson. The nonprofit actively builds programs designed to help youth navigate social and digital challenges while fostering creativity, leadership and personal growth.Elements of the new space include 2,530 sq. ft. of floorspace, allowing for a flexible layout, three offices, and a conference room to facilitate meaningful discussions.

JOSHWAY focuses on holistic growth, addressing key issues such as mental health, social pressures, and leadership development, while fostering partnerships with other nonprofits and community organizations to maximize its reach and impact.JOSHWAY has developed various programs working with organizations like Apple and Toastmasters International, designed to inspire young minds and equip them with the skills needed to excel in school, careers, and their communities.The organization was founded by young leaders answering a call during a time of great need with a vision to support youth through creativity, collaboration, and connection. Its mission centers on collaboration. By connecting subject matter experts, nonprofits, and schools, they deliver high-impact programs for youth. With the launch of their new community space, collaboration can now thrive in one inspiring hub. JOSHWAY is seeking corporate sponsors and philanthropic partners. Operational and endowment support will help sustain the space and expand access to transformative opportunities for youth."We created JOSHWAY because we saw a gap and we believed our generation had something powerful to offer," said Robertson. "This space is a testament to what's possible when young leaders come together with purpose, resilience, and heart. It's for the community, it's built by the community, and we're just getting started."An event recap is available at joshway.org/launch.Photos: (Click photo to enlarge) Source: JOSHWAYRead Full Story - JOSHWAY Cuts Ribbon on New Brick-and-Mortar Location | More news from this sourcePress release distribution by PRLog
