A Culinary Journey: Exploring Lake Biwa's Fermentation Culture

A Journey to the Heart of Fermentation: Lake Biwa

Our exploration of Japan's HAKKO fermented food culture led us to the shores of Lake Biwa. The lake is easily accessible from Nagoya via Shinkansen and local trains.

As Japan's largest and one of the world's oldest lakes, Lake Biwa is a crucial source of water and food for the surrounding communities. The local climate is also perfect for fermentation, making the region a hub for this ancient practice.

The area is most famous for narezushi, a traditional dish that ferments fish from the lake with rice for several months. Born out of the need to preserve food before refrigeration, this unique dish is considered the origin of modern sushi.

Water from Lake Biwa is crucial for producing some of Japan's most essential fermented foods, including sake, soy sauce (shoyu), and miso paste. The region is also famous for its fermented cheeses and pickles. Over time, the variety of local fermented foods grew and diversified.

This two-day food-themed itinerary focuses on the cities along Lake Biwa's eastern shore. It features a curated selection of restaurants and facilities where you can taste exceptional cuisine made with fermented ingredients, offering unique insights into Japan's rich food culture.

Korian: Savor a Fresh Take on Funazushi, a Fermented Variety of Sushi

Our first recommendation for your culinary journey around Lake Biwa is Korian, a restaurant in the former port town of Kaizu, Takashima.

Korian specializes in refined kaiseki cuisine that reimagines funazushi for the modern palate. Funazushi, a type of narezushi, is a traditional fermented sushi made with Lake Biwa's crucian carp. The fish is salted and fermented with boiled rice for two years before it's served, resulting in a unique and complex flavor.

At Korian, owner and head chef Sazaki Kensuke skillfully carries on a family legacy. His family has run the Uoji funazushi specialty shop in the Kaizu district for generations, and now, he proudly promotes this tradition through his sophisticated cuisine.

Stepping into Korian, the first thing you'll notice is the stunning interior with high windows that offer an unobstructed view of Lake Biwa. The dining area is separated from the water only by a short veranda (engawa), making you feel as though you're dining right above the lake. This remarkable space was designed by the chef's younger brother.

The large windows allow guests to watch the lake's scenery change with each passing hour and season. Outside, wooden pillars remain from the old port, serving as resting spots for herons, seagulls, and wild ducks. This serene view is an essential part of the Korian experience, filling guests with a sense of wonder and reconnecting them with nature.

Each dish in the course is served one by one, with the chef taking a moment to explain its background and highlight an aspect of Lake Biwa's rich food culture. You'll discover fascinating details, like how the funa (crucian carp) lays its eggs in the very water used to irrigate the rice paddies. This means that a dish of crucian carp and rice essentially comes from the same place—the rice paddy itself.

The menu allows you to experience the full range of funazushi. The appetizer features funa no kozuke, a small dish of crucian carp coated with roe. Afterward, you can taste a piece of full-fledged funazushi along kosode-zushi made with Biwa trout; on one plate, you can enjoy and compare a variety of dishes. You might be surprised by the sharp taste of funazushi, which is a direct result of the rice fermentation process and can remind you of sake or sake lees.

Other dishes in the course demonstrate the chef's creativity and skill by featuring funazushi in surprising ways. You'll encounter dishes that challenge your expectations, such as a pasta with a creamy sauce that looks like cheese but is actually made from funazushi. This mild and soothing flavor reveals a different, more gentle side of the fermented dish.

The final savory dish is a bowl of ochazuke, rice topped with dashi broth flavored with funazushi, offering one more testament to the ingredient's versatility and the wide range of flavors it can produce.

The kaiseki course at Korian also features other local fish, such as Biwa trout and sweetfish, and fermented ingredients like locally made soy sauce. Feel free to ask the Sazakis for sake recommendations to pair with your meal. A sip of the right sake can transform the flavors in your mouth, adding another layer to this exceptional culinary experience.

Please note that the restaurant is reservation-only. International visitors are encouraged to use a reservation service with an interpreter for a smoother experience.

Umi no Schole: A Fermentation Hub Featuring a New World of Flavors

Located in the central Nagahama City shopping street since it opened in December 2021, Umi no Schole is a complex focused on the diverse fermented foods of the Lake Biwa area.

Designed to inspire visitors with the wisdom of local life, the facility features on-site production rooms that connect guests directly to the region's natural environment and its producers. By tasting and experiencing these goods, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the people and processes behind them, fostering a desire for further learning.

Umino-Schole is a multifaceted complex featuring a variety of spaces for visitors to explore. It includes a spacious store with a curated selection of furniture, fashion, homeware, and antiques; a 42-seat cafe serving a menu of local cuisine with on-site made cheese and miso; a cheese factory that uses fresh milk from Shiga's renowned Ibuki Milk Farm to create original products; and a workshop area where guests can get hands-on experience making miso and other fermented foods. 

The complex also houses a gallery, a bookstore, and the Happy Taro Brewery, which crafts original doburoku (unfiltered sake), miso, and amazake from handmade koji.

We recommend starting your visit at the cafe to enjoy a delicious meal or coffee break. The menu features dishes like curry rice, sandwiches, and desserts that highlight the best of local produce, as well as unique cheeses made on-site. Every bite is a testament to the staff's dedication to promoting Lake Biwa's remarkable fermentation culture.

After your meal, take some time to browse the charming shop and gallery for a souvenir. We highly recommend the on-site cheeses, which are not only exceptionally good but also truly unique. You can try the Miso Fromage, which blends the flavors of miso and cheese, or the Takesumi Fromage, which is wrapped on the outside in bamboo charcoal and has a creamy, smooth texture inside.

[place_master_id=17191 show_photos embed id="IQ4ukOKjUC"]

A bottle of doburoku (unfiltered sake) from the Happy Taro Brewery is another excellent choice. The brewery makes an incredible variety of original doburoku flavors using herbs, fruits, and spices. You'll find a range of options, from varieties with different alcohol contents to completely non-alcoholic amazake.

[place_master_id=17192 show_photos embed id="R4IP6r9108"]

To truly immerse yourself in the local food and culture, we recommend staying overnight in Nagahama. The city offers several excellent hotels and traditional inns (ryokan) along the shore of Lake Biwa.

The central shopping street is a great place to explore local crafts and cuisine. Be sure to visit Kurokabe Square, home to the Kurokabe Glass Shop, a well-known spot housed in a former bank building that features glassware; you can admire and purchase a wide range of pieces, from beautiful works crafted by Japanese artisans to renowned glass art from around the world.

Across from the shop, a cafe serves a rich, chocolate-flavored soft-serve ice cream inspired by the "black walls" of the former bank. We also recommend a visit to the Nagahama Hikiyama Museum to see hikiyama floats and objects from the city's famous annual festival, held every April. There's so much to discover here that you'll definitely want to extend your stay.

A Side Trip to Hikone for History and Scenic Views

Midway between Nagahama and our next destination, Omihachiman, is the city of Hikone, known for its remarkably well-preserved castle. We recommend a stop here for a glimpse into the history of Edo-period Japan and the vital role Lake Biwa played during times of unrest.

Hikone Castle was the seat of the influential Ii clan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The Ii clan was a powerful vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara (1600). This battle led to Tokugawa becoming shogun, ending decades of internal conflict and changing the course of Japanese history.

The castle's strategic design, with its defensive walls, moats, and hidden archers' openings, showcases a blend of medieval and later Edo-era features. It is believed that many parts of the structure were actually relocated from older castles, such as Otsu and Sawayama. For instance, after Otsu Castle fell, sections were transported across Lake Biwa to Hikone and reused to fortify and expand the new castle.

The Ii clan were not only powerful leaders but also refined patrons of the arts, particularly known for their practice of Noh theater and the tea ceremony. This cultural legacy is beautifully preserved at Genkyuen, a large Japanese garden located on the grounds of Hikone Castle.

The garden can be explored by walking around its central pond, where you can admire the changing beauty of each season. We recommend spending at least an hour here, as the garden also provides superb vantage points for photographing Hikone Castle.

[place_master_id=5414 show_photos embed id="AzkkOC2Krs"]

La Collina Omihachiman: Relish Sweet Treats and Nature

La Collina Omihachiman is the flagship store for two renowned Japanese confectioners: Taneya, which specializes in traditional sweets, and Club Harie, a Western confectionery store famous for its Baumkuchen. Upon arrival, you'll feel as though you've stepped into a house from a fairytale world.

The concept of the store is "learning from nature," which is perfectly embodied by the unique, grass-covered roof of the main shop. This living roof blends seamlessly with the surrounding rice paddies and the mountain behind it. 

The entire property is filled with playful and imaginative touches, inviting guests to enjoy both sweets and nature in a single, magical experience.

The shops at La Collina offer a wide array of freshly made confections. You can choose from seasonal wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) to a variety of Western-style treats, including castella and Baumkuchen.

Throughout the grounds, several cafes allow visitors to sample these treats. We recommend the Yakitate Taneya Castella Set offered at Castella Cafe, which lets you savor the fresh-baked texture and rich egg flavor of the famous castella.

For those who prefer savory options, the menu also includes dishes like Omurice, made with the same specialty eggs used for the castella.

One of the most exciting parts of La Collina is the opportunity to see the iconic sweets being made. Visitors can peek into the Baum factories and watch skilled artisans masterfully baking Baumkuchen. The freshly baked cakes can be purchased to take home, but you can also enjoy them at the on-site café.

At the heart of the site are rice paddies and fields set up so that visitors can actually see rice and seasonal vegetables growing. We recommend setting aside at least two to three hours to explore La Collina, savor the natural scenery, and enjoy the delicious on-site treats. The experience is like returning to childhood, a time when everything seems new and full of wonder.

Enjoy Shiga’s Fermented Food Culture and Splendid Scenery

By the end of your two-day trip, you will have a deep appreciation for the variety of fermented foods around Lake Biwa and their cultural significance. Before the introduction of refrigerators, fermentation was indispensable to locals, as it not only preserved food but also expanded the range of flavors of an ingredient or a dish.

To begin your journey, we recommend traveling from Nagoya to Maibara by Shinkansen, then transferring to a local train and heading north toward Takashima. From this point, a special trip begins where you can experience the fermented-food culture of Lake Biwa and enjoy its beautiful scenery.

Enjoy a walk around the footbaths at Yubara Onsen with some food in hand. (Maniwa City)

Yubara Yuttari Plaza

Located at the entrance to Yubara Onsen, Footbath Park features the spacious "Hanzaki Foot Bath," approximately 26 meters wide. "Hanzaki (Japanese Giant Salamander) " is the local name for the Japanese giant Japanese Giant Salamander , a nationally designated Special Natural Monument . The name comes from a legend that it "continues to live even after being torn in half." Hanzaki (Japanese Giant Salamander) is the mascot character at Yubara Onsen , and at Footbath Park, visitors are greeted by an art object called "Hanzaki-san Cooling Down in a Bath," created for the 2019 art event " Mimasaka Three Hot Springs Art Temperature."

Samsung Health adds in-app doctor visits for US users

29 October 2025 at 10:51

Samsung Health teamed up with HealthTap to offer an in-app feature for doctor visits in the US. This partnership aims to benefit approximately 7 million users in the United States.

Under this partnership, Samsung and HealthTap add access to virtual access to virtual primary and urgent care directly into the Samsung Health app. It’s the first time HealthTap’s first in-app experience is expanded to a third-party platform.

As a result, Samsung Health users in the US can book, conduct, and follow up on virtual care consultations. It essentially ends the need for leaving the Samsung Health app for doctor visits, but the feature is limited to US users.

How HealthTap works within Samsung Health:

Through an embedded interface, Samsung Health users will be able to select a virtual visit option, complete a short intake, and connect to a HealthTap doctor for a video consultation within minutes.

Once done, patients can review the clinician’s notes and follow-up instructions within the app. The entire process is designed to be seamless, requiring no app switching or additional downloads.

Samsung Health Virtual Doctor Visit

Thanks to Samsung Health’s integration of the virtual doctor visits feature, users can connect with a physician in the same place they record their daily steps, monitor sleep, or track vital signs and medication schedules.

Now, the wealth of medical, health, and fitness data captured by Samsung’s phones and watches and the Galaxy Ring can finally be discussed in real time at the point of care by a patient with their own primary care doctor.

This Health app upgrade is pretty much beneficial. When this data informs the clinical conversation, it enables more personalized diagnoses, more accurate treatment decisions, and ultimately, better outcomes for patients.

Dr. Ricky Choi, US Head of Digital Health, Samsung Electronics America, says:

“By making available telehealth services into the Samsung Health experience, we are making care actionable, enabling users to move from wellness to clinical care and back in a trusted environment.”

Samsung is fixing the Dynamic Wallpaper reset issue

29 October 2025 at 09:22

One UI 8 elevates Dynamic Color Wallpaper, but some users are reporting functional issues with this feature. Samsung is also aware of the glitch and is working on a fix that will be provided through an app update.

Dynamic Wallpaper is a smart wallpaper service available on flagship Samsung Galaxy phones. It keeps refreshing the elegant colors featuring a striking gradient based on the time.

There’s no widespread outrage since a small portion of users utilize the feature. Others use their favorite picture or video as wallpaper or stunning images provided through third-party wallpaper distribution platforms.

Samsung fans who use Dynamic Color Wallpaper are facing a major issue. The glitch wipes out the wallpaper selection and replaces it with stock wallpaper. Per the users, it happens in certain hours, most reportedly overnight.

As the reports arose, Samsung investigated and found a glitch. The company confirmed (via Larry S White), the team is aware of it and preparing a fix. A new version of the Samsung Wallpaper app will be provided with the necessary improvements.

The new Samsung Wallpaper may already be rolling out to certain users. Samsung said the new update will be expanded to users gradually. So if you’re facing a wallpaper reset issue, make sure to update the app from Galaxy Store.

Remember, the app version may differ, but the improvements won’t. Therefore, install an updated Samsung Wallpaper from the Galaxy Store without worrying about the version number, package size, or release notes.

For those having a problem where the dynamic wallpaper that turns back to the stock wallpaper the next day. Samsung is working on the problem.

Galaxy S21 FE’s Android 16 update is the green light for One UI 8.5

By:Yash
29 October 2025 at 08:01

Samsung has just widened the Android 16 rollout to the Galaxy S21 FE, and it locks the path to One UI 8.5. The company is bringing the One UI 8 to the Galaxy S21 FE smartphone users in India, starting with Exynos models.

You may find One UI 8.0 boring, but it is the setup for One UI 8.5 for your Galaxy S21 FE. Without One UI 8, you can’t even think of the next big upgrade. You know, owners of the Galaxy S21 series consider them the unluckiest.

There was a generational gap when Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 series and S21 FE. It was just a move similar to the Galaxy S25 series and S25 FE.

The flagship models were released with Android 11-based One UI 3.1, while the Fan Edition arrived with Android 12-based One UI 4.0. Similarly, the Galaxy S25 series launched with Android 15, while the S25 FE boots Android 16.

Samsung is strictly proceeding with what it promised. The Galaxy S21 series has already received four major OS upgrades to Android 15. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 FE has completed its OS lifecycle at Android 16 this week.

While there’s no major difference between the One UI 7 and One UI 8, users are still disappointed, and they have a reason: One UI 8.5.

Samsung is developing the next big upgrade, the One UI 8.5. Leaked screenshots signal plenty of new features and a massive overhaul to the user interface. The mid-cycle update will significantly widen the gap from One UI 7.

With Samsung bringing One UI 8 to the Galaxy S21 FE users this week, it’s a moment of celebration. The current update isn’t that exciting, but the next mid-cycle version will be, when it lands in the second quarter of 2026.

29 October 2025 at 10:00

W Osadzie Karbówko wręczono nagrody w konkursie na „Pomysłowy witacz dożynkowy 2025". Doceniono też aktywność wiejskich świetlic. Za 60-letnią działalność koło gospodyń wiejskich z Sitna zostało odznaczone medalem marszałka województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego.

Na początek: witacz. Pierwsze miejsce zajęło sołectwo Grzybno z gminy Unisław, w powiecie chełmińskim. - Przywieźliśmy i ustawiliśmy baloty ze słomy, a nasze drogie panie przyozdobiły je i zrobiły z tego taką fajną i bardzo naturalną krowę. Wszyscy na tego witacza zwracali uwagę, robili sobie zdjęcia. Szczególnie ciekawie nasz witacz wyglądał wieczorem i w nocy - mówili Mateusz Poznański i Dariusz Jabłoński, sołtys. - Dożynki to podziękowanie za plony, za to, że się udało je zebrać. Koło Gospodyń Wiejskich z Józefowa „Fajne babki" dostało nagroda za prowadzenie świetlicy wiejskiej.

Solana (SOL) Weakens Again — Break Below $200 Opens Door For Further Decline

29 October 2025 at 09:08

Solana failed to stay above $200 and corrected gains. SOL price is now trading below $200 and might decline further if it dips below $192.

  • SOL price started a downside correction below $200 against the US Dollar.
  • The price is now trading below $198 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
  • There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $198 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could extend losses if it dips below the $192 zone.

Solana Price Corrects Some Gains

Solana price started a decent increase after it settled above the $192 zone, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $198 level to enter a short-term positive zone.

The price even smashed the $200 resistance. A high was formed near $205 and the price recently corrected some gains. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $177 swing low to the $205 high.

Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $198 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading below $198 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

Solana Price

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $198 level. The next major resistance is near the $200 level. The main resistance could be $205. A successful close above the $205 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $212. Any more gains might send the price toward the $220 level.

More Losses In SOL?

If SOL fails to rise above the $200 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $192 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $177 swing low to the $205 high. The first major support is near the $188 level.

A break below the $188 level might send the price toward the $180 support zone. If there is a close below the $180 support, the price could decline toward the $166 support in the near term.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is gaining pace in the bearish zone.

Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally

29 October 2025 at 09:00

Dogecoin saw a sharp jump in trading activity on Tuesday, but prices did not follow immediately. Volume over the last 24 hours rose by 60%, pushing total traded value above $2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

Yet the token traded near $0.21 at the time of the report, down about 0.18% in the day and down 12% so far this month.

Trading Volume Surges

According to CoinMarketCap data, the sudden spike in volume shows many more hands moving DOGE than usual. Reports have disclosed that this wave of trades coincides with renewed interest among retail buyers and larger holders.

Data shows that October has historically been a strong month for Dogecoin, with modest gains of 30% to a more impressive 101% from 2021 up to 2024. Those past returns help explain why some traders expect a positive close this month.

Whales Move, Exchanges See Flow

Reports have disclosed several large transfers tied to the surge. One report described a dormant whale with a 36 DOGE seed reactivating and making a transfer valued at $26.8 million to Binance.

Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15.115 million DOGE, valued at about $2.95 million, out of the same exchange. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up.

Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15 million DOGE, valued at about nearly $3 million, out of Binance. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up.

Macro Drivers And Market Sentiment

The volume surge came as major cryptocurrencies showed strength. Reports have disclosed Bitcoin moving higher toward $115,000 while Ethereum traded near $4,200.

That broader rally can lift smaller tokens as traders rotate capital across markets. Still, metrics are mixed: one recent forecast predicted DOGE could rise by 13% to $0.22 by November 27, 2025, while technical indicators flagged the current sentiment as Bearish and the Fear & Greed Index sat at 50.

Outlook And Risks Ahead

The picture is straightforward and messy at the same time. Higher volume suggests interest; price action says caution. Whale transfers can both fuel rallies and add selling pressure, depending on intent.

Traders watching the symmetrical triangle will likely wait for a clear break up or down before making bigger bets. Those looking at seasonal trends may find hope in October’s past strength, but historical gains do not guarantee future returns.

  • XRP price gained pace for a move above $2.60 and $2.620 before the bears appeared.
  • The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2.6350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above $2.50.

XRP Price Retreats Lower

XRP price started a fresh increase after it settled above $2.50, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price surpassed the $2.550 and $2.60 resistance levels.

The bulls were able to push the price above $2.650. A high was formed at $2.6972 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.6972 high.

Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2.6350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $2.60 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

XRP Price

If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.650 level, above which the price could rise and test $2.6880. A clear move above the $2.6880 resistance might send the price toward the $2.720 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.7650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.80.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $2.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.5650 level. The next major support is near the $2.550 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.550 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.5120 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $2.327 swing low to the $2.6972 high.

First Ethereum Treasury Firm Sells ETH For Buybacks: Death Spiral Incoming?

29 October 2025 at 08:00

Ethereum-focused treasury company ETHZilla said it has sold roughly $40 million worth of ether to fund ongoing share repurchases, a maneuver aimed at closing what it calls a “significant discount to NAV.” In a press statement on Monday, the company disclosed that since Friday, October 24, it has bought back about 600,000 common shares for approximately $12 million under a broader authorization of up to $250 million, and that it intends to continue buying while the discount persists.

ETHZilla Dumps ETH For BuyBacks

The company framed the buybacks as balance-sheet arbitrage rather than a strategic retreat from its core Ethereum exposure. “We are leveraging the strength of our balance sheet, including reducing our ETH holdings, to execute share repurchases,” chairman and CEO McAndrew Rudisill said, adding that ETH sales are being used as “cash” while common shares trade below net asset value. He argued the transactions would be immediately accretive to remaining shareholders.

ETHZilla amplified the message on X, saying it would “use its strong balance sheet to support shareholders through buybacks, reduce shares available for short borrow, [and] drive up NAV per share” and reiterating that it still holds “~$400 million of ETH” on the balance sheet and carries “no net debt.” The company also cited “recent, concentrated short selling” as a factor keeping the stock under pressure.

The market-structure logic is straightforward: when a digital-asset treasury trades below the value of its coin holdings and cash, buying back stock with “coin-cash” can, in theory, collapse the discount and lift NAV per share. But the optics are contentious inside crypto because the mechanism requires selling the underlying asset—here, ETH—to purchase equity, potentially weakening the very treasury backing that investors originally sought.

Death Spiral Incoming?

Popular crypto trader SalsaTekila (@SalsaTekila) commented on X: “This is extremely bearish, especially if it invites similar behavior. ETH treasuries are not Saylor; they haven’t shown diamond-hand will. If treasury companies start dumping the coin to buy shares, it’s a death spiral setup.”

Skeptics also zeroed in on funding choices. “I am mostly curious why the company chose to sell ETH and not use the $569m in cash they had on the balance sheet last month,” another analyst Dan Smith wrote, noting ETHZilla had just said it still holds about $400 million of ETH and thus didn’t deploy it on fresh ETH accumulation. “Why not just use cash?” The question cuts to the core of treasury signaling: using ETH as a liquidity reservoir to defend a discounted equity can be read as rational capital allocation, or as capitulation that undermines the ETH-as-reserve narrative.

Beyond the buyback, a retail-driven storyline has rapidly formed around the stock. Business Insider reported that Dimitri Semenikhin—who recently became the face of the Beyond Meat surge—has targeted ETHZilla, saying he purchased roughly 2% of the company at what he views as a 50% discount to modified NAV. He has argued that the market is misreading ETHZilla’s balance sheet because it still reflects legacy biotech results rather than the current digital-asset treasury model.

The same report cites liquid holdings on the order of 102,300 ETH and roughly $560 million in cash, translating to about $62 per share in liquid assets, and calls out a 1-for-10 reverse split on October 15 that, in his view, muddied the optics for retail. Semenikhin flagged November 13 as a potential catalyst if results show the pivot to ETH generating profits.

The company’s own messaging emphasizes the discount-to-NAV lens rather than a change in strategy. ETHZilla told investors it would keep buying while the stock trades below asset value and highlighted a goal of shrinking lendable supply to blunt short-selling pressure.

For Ethereum markets, the immediate flow effect is limited—$40 million is marginal in ETH’s daily liquidity—but the second-order risk flagged by traders is behavioral contagion. If other ETH-heavy treasuries follow the playbook, selling the underlying to buy their own stock, the flow could become pro-cyclical: coins are sold to close equity discounts, the selling pressures spot, and wider discounts reappear as equity screens rerate to the weaker mark—repeat.

That is the “death spiral” scenario skeptics warn about when the treasury asset doubles as the company’s signal of conviction.

At press time, ETH traded at $4,156.

Ethereum price is now trading below $4,080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another increase, the price could face resistance near the $4,040 level. The next key resistance is near the $4,080 level.

The first major resistance is near the $4,120 level. A clear move above the $4,120 resistance might send the price toward the $4,200 resistance.

XRP Final Test: Will Wave 4 End With One More Shakeout Before Liftoff?

29 October 2025 at 07:00

XRP hovers at a key resistance, signaling a crucial decision point. With momentum building, traders now wonder, will one final dip come before the next major breakout?

XRP Faces A Crucial Decision Zone Amid Ongoing Range

CasiTrades, in a recent market update, highlighted that XRP continues to range within a critical zone, keeping its setup for a potential final wave down valid. The analyst noted that the price remains at a key decision point, with ongoing tests of the Wave 4 highs acting as a firm ceiling against further upside movement. 

According to CasiTrades, the pivotal level to watch is $2.82 on Binance. A confirmed breakout and sustained hold above this resistance would invalidate the bearish setup and signal renewed bullish momentum. However, XRP has so far failed to push through, maintaining a range-bound structure between support and resistance, a sign that the market has yet to commit to a clear directional trend.

XRP

The analyst emphasized that a V-shaped recovery typically breaks through resistance with strong conviction, but such a move has not been seen here. Instead, XRP’s hesitancy indicates that selling pressure may still be present, preventing a clean continuation to the upside. 

Exchange Variations Add Complexity To Market Analysis

CasiTrades went on to explain that most major exchanges are now aligning around their key Fibonacci retracement levels, particularly the 0.618 zone. On Binance, this range sits between $1.35 and $1.46, which the analyst identified as the area where the next corrective wave could complete. According to the expert, this move would finalize the macro Wave 2 correction, paving the way for a powerful Wave 3 impulse that might propel XRP toward $6.50 or even $10.

The analyst emphasized that these lower price levels shouldn’t be viewed as a cause for concern but rather as valuable accumulation opportunities for long-term investors. Historically, zones like these have marked points of strong institutional buying and major trend reversals, presenting some of the best risk-to-reward setups before a large bullish expansion.

CasiTrades also noted that exchange discrepancies add a layer of complexity to the analysis. For instance, during a recent liquidation event, Binance briefly fell to $0.77, while Coinbase never reached its .618 retracement. This variation means traders should always chart on the specific exchange they plan to execute trades on, as price reactions can differ slightly between platforms. In conclusion, the analyst noted that until XRP breaks and holds above $2.82, the market structure still supports the idea of one final downward wave before a major upward cycle begins.

29) ოქტომბერს ქართული ეკლესია აღნიშნავს ღირსი მამის ზენონ იყალთოელის ხსენების დღეს (VI საუკუნე).
ღირსი იოანე ზედაზნელი და მისი თორმეტი მოწაფე: აბიბოს ნეკრესელი, ანტონ მარტყოფელი, დავით გარეჯელი, ზენონ იყალთოელი, თადეოზ სტეფანწმიდელი, ისე წილკნელი, იოსებ ალავერდელი, ისიდორე სამთავნელი, მიქაელ ულუმბოელი, პიროს ბრეთელი, სტეფანე ხირსელი და შიო მღვიმელი იყვნენ ასურელი მოღვაწეები, რომლებმაც საქართველოში სამონასტრო ცხოვრება ააღორძინეს და დაამკვიდრეს.
წმიდა ზენონ იყალთოელი ქადაგებდა კახეთის მთიანეთში, შემდეგ იყალთოში დააარსა მონასტერი და იქ მოღვაწეობდა სიკვდილამდე. დაკრძალულია მაცხოვრის ხელთუქმნელი ხატის სახელობის ტაძარში.

29 October 2025 at 09:12

პარლამენტმა პირველი მოსმენით, დაჩქარებული წესით განიხილა „კორუფციის წინააღმდეგ ბრძოლის შესახებ“ კანონში შესატანი ცვლილება და 81 ხმით მხარი დაუჭირა.
კანონპროექტის მიხედვით, საჯარო მოსამსახურის მიერ საჯარო დაწესებულებაში სხვა თანამდებობის დაკავების შეზღუდვის გამონაკლისს ემატება საპენსიო ფონდის მმართველობითი საბჭოს წევრის თანამდებობა.

იამაიკას მასშტაბური ზიანი მიაყენა ქარიშხალმა „მელისამ“

29 October 2025 at 09:12

კარიბის ზღვის აუზის კუნძულოვან სახელმწიფოს, იამაიკას მასშტაბური ზიანი მიაყენა დამანგრეველმა ქარიშხალმა „მელისამ“. ატლანტის ოკეანიდან დაძრულმა მეხუთე კატეგორიის ქარიშხალმა, რომელსაც თან ახლდა კოკისპირული წვიმა, იამაიკის ნაპირებამდე 28 ოქტომბერს მიაღწია და ნგრევა, წყალდიდობა და მეწყერი გამოიწვია.
ხმელეთზე ქარიშხლის სიმძლავრე მეოთხე კატეგორიამდე შემცირდა, ხოლო ქარის სიჩქარე – დაახლოებით 300კმ/სთ-დან 150კმ/სთ-მდე.
იამაიკის ხელისუფლების ინფორმაციით, კუნძულზე დაღუპულია სამი ადამიანი, თუმცა არა უშუალოდ ქარიშხლის დროს, არამედ სტიქიისთვის მოსამზადებელ ეტაპზე მომხდარი უბედური შემთხვევების შედეგად.
ქარიშხალმა დაანგრია, ან დააზიანა სახლები და ელექტროგადამცემი ხაზები. ენერგომომარაგების გარეშე დარჩა 530 ათასამდე სახლი და სხვა შენობები. სანაპირო ზოლიდან დროებით თავშესაფრებში გადაიყვანეს 15 ათასამდე ადამიანი.
იამაიკის მეტეოსამსახურის თანახმად, „მელისა“ ქვეყნისთვის უძლიერესი ქარიშხალია 1851 წლიდან, ანუ იმ პერიოდიდან, როცა მეტეოდაკვირვება დაიწყო.
„მელისამ“ წყალდიდობა და ნგრევა გამოიწვია იამაიკის მეზობელ ჰაიტისა და დომინიკის რესპუბლიკაშიც.
დომინიკაში ერთი ადამიანი დაიღუპა და ერთი დაკარგულად ითვლება. ჰაიტიზე დაღუპულია სულ მცირე სამი ადამიანი. დატბორილია ასეულობით სახლი.
„მელისამ“ იამაიკიდან გეზი აიღო კუბისკენ, სადაც, ადგილობრივი ხელისუფლების ინფორმაციით, სახიფათო ზონიდან ევაკუირებულია 735 ათასზე მეტი ადამიანი.

დონალდ ტრამპი – ღაზაში ცეცხლის შეწყვეტას არაფერი ემუქრება – ისრაელს საპასუხო იერიშის უფლება აქვს

29 October 2025 at 08:25

აშშ-ის პრეზიდენტის, ს განცხადებით, ღაზაში -ის მიერ მხარდაჭერით მიღწეულ ცეცხლის შეწყვეტის შეთანხმებას საფრთხე არ ემუქრება.
„როგორც გავიგე, მათ ისრაელელი ჯარისკაცი მოკლეს. ასე რომ, ისრაელელებმა საპასუხო დარტყმა განახორციელეს და უნდა განახორციელონ საპასუხო დარტყმა. როდესაც ეს მოხდება, მათ უნდა განახორციელონ საპასუხო დარტყმა. ცეცხლის შეწყვეტას არაფერი ემუქრება. „ჰამასი“ ახლო აღმოსავლეთში მშვიდობის ძალიან მცირე ნაწილია და ვალდებულნი არიან, კარგად მოიქცნენ“, – განუცხადა ტრამპმა ჟურალისტებს.
აშშ-ის პრეზიდენტმა ეს განცხადება მას შემდეგ გააკეთა, რაც ისრაელმა ღაზაზე დარტყმები განახორციელა, რის შედეგადაც, ადგილობრივი ხელისუფლების ცნობით, 26 ადამიანი დაიღუპა.

ისრაელმა ჰამასი შეთანხმების დარღვევაში დაადანაშაულა და ღაზის სექტორი დაბომბა

29 October 2025 at 07:53

ისრაელის არმიის ავიაციამ გასულ ღამით ღაზის სექტორი დაბომბა. მანამდე ისრაელმა პალესტინელთა რადიკალური ისლამისტური მოძრაობა, ს, -ის და ევროკავშირის მიერ ტერორისტულ ორგანიზაციად გამოცხადებული ჰამასი საზავო შეთანხმების დარღვევაში დაადანაშაულა.
28 ოქტომბერს ისრაელის თავდაცვის მინისტრმა ისრაელ კაცმა განაცხადა, რომ ჰამასმა ცეცხლი გაუხსნა ისრაელის არმიის სამხედროებს. ადგილობრივი მედიის ცნობით, თავდასხმა ქალაქ რაფაჰის მახლობლად მოხდა. ჰამასმა თავდასხმა უარყო.
გარდა ამისა, ისრაელის მთავრობის თანახმად, ჰამასმა გადასცა არა კიდევ ერთი, მე-16 მძევლის ცხედარი, როგორც ეს 28 ოქტომბერს განაცხადა, არამედ სხვა მოკლული მძევლის, ოფირ ცარფატის ცხედრის ნაშთები, რაც ექსპერტიზის შედეგად გაირკვა. ცარფატის ცხედრის ნაწილები ღაზის სექტორიდან ისრაელში პირველად დაახლოებით ორი წლის წინ გადაასვენეს.
28 ოქტომბერს, გვიან საღამოს ისრაელის პრემიერ-მინისტრ ს ოფისმა განაცხადა, რომ უსაფრთხოების საკითხებზე კონსულტაციების შემდეგ მან სამხედროებს უბრძანა, დაუყოვნებლივ დაარტყან ღაზის სექტორს.
ჰამასის მიერ კონტროლირებული სამოქალაქო თავდაცვის სააგენტოს ინფორმაციით, ქალაქ ღაზაზე და კიდევ რამდენიმე რაიონზე ისრაელის ავიადარტყმების შედეგად სულ მცირე 30 ადამიანი დაიღუპა და ათეულობით დაიჭრა.
ისრაელმა და ჰამასმა ღაზის სექტორში ომის დასასრულებლად შეერთებული შტატების პრეზიდენტ ს მიერ ინიციირებული სამშვიდობო გეგმის საფუძველზე შეთანხმებას 10 ოქტომბერს ეგვიპტეში მიაღწიეს აშშ-ის, ეგვიპტის, კატარის და თურქეთის შუამავლობით.

Bahrain International Airport Unveils New Private Jet Facility to Boost Tourism and Investment

29 October 2025 at 09:25
Bahrain International Airport Unveils New Private Jet Facility to Boost Tourism and Investment

Bahrain International Airport (BAH) is gearing up to elevate its status as a major hub for private aviation with a new private jet facility aimed at attracting both investors and high-end travelers. This move comes as part of Bahrain’s long-term strategy to boost its economy and position itself as a key player in the global air transport network.

Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) has recently entered into an agreement with Valo Aviation to develop this state-of-the-art VIP terminal. Located at the airport, the new facility will cover an area of 6,000 square meters and will be designed specifically to accommodate the latest generation of business jets.

A World-Class Private Jet Hub for Global Tourists

The facility is expected to cater to a growing demand for private jet services, particularly from global tourists who prefer luxury and exclusivity in their travel experience. The terminal will be equipped to handle high-end aircraft models like the Falcon 10X and Gulfstream G700. These are some of the most sought-after private jets in the world, used by high-profile business executives, celebrities, and royal families.

By separating private aircraft from commercial traffic, the new facility will improve turnaround times and ensure higher safety standards, streamlining operations and offering enhanced privacy for its elite clientele.

For travelers visiting Bahrain, this upgrade signifies an even more seamless and premium experience. As Bahrain positions itself as a leading destination for global tourists, this facility will undoubtedly add value to the nation’s hospitality and tourism sectors, providing an exclusive gateway to the island.

Expanding the Fleet: Valo Aviation’s Vision for Growth

Valo Aviation, which is driving the development of this facility, is also expanding its fleet. Recently, the company added the Dassault Falcon 8X, the first of its kind to be registered with Bahrain’s Civil Aviation Affairs agency. This expansion reflects Bahrain’s growing appeal in the world of private aviation and aligns with the kingdom’s efforts to increase investment in its infrastructure and air transport sectors.

The new facility is a critical component of Bahrain’s broader strategy to diversify its economy and attract more international investors. By improving the private aviation sector, Bahrain not only enhances its transport network but also boosts its global competitiveness.

A Step Towards Sustainable Aviation in Bahrain

Another key aspect of the project is sustainability. Bahrain’s commitment to sustainable development is evident in the design of the new private jet facility. The airport aims to reduce its carbon footprint by integrating green technologies into its operations. This includes using energy-efficient systems and promoting eco-friendly aviation practices, which align with the kingdom’s wider environmental goals.

Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications has emphasized that this initiative plays a key role in developing the private aviation sector, contributing to the overall growth of the country. Dr. Shaikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, noted that this facility is part of a broader effort to strengthen Bahrain’s air transport infrastructure, attract foreign investments, and enhance the economy.

Impact on Tourism and International Investment

The introduction of a dedicated private jet terminal at Bahrain International Airport will likely have a significant impact on tourism. Luxury travelers, particularly those arriving by private jet, often seek exclusive, high-end experiences from the moment they arrive. The VIP terminal will offer premium services, such as private lounges, customs clearance, and concierge services, ensuring that travelers experience nothing but the best.

Additionally, the development of this facility will also draw international investment, supporting Bahrain’s vision to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on traditional industries. Private aviation is seen as a key sector for growth, and this facility will be a cornerstone in attracting new investors to the region.

Bahrain’s Strategic Position in Global Aviation

With this new private jet facility, Bahrain continues to establish itself as a strategic location for both regional and international aviation. The country’s competitive positioning, combined with modern infrastructure, makes it an attractive destination for both tourists and business travelers.

For global travelers seeking exclusivity, luxury, and convenience, the new facility at Bahrain International Airport will undoubtedly become a prime destination for private jet services.

Conclusion

The new private jet facility at Bahrain International Airport is set to revolutionize private aviation in the region, offering global tourists and investors a world-class experience. This development is just one of many initiatives aimed at making Bahrain a premier destination for luxury travel and business aviation.

Global Tourists Now Have Easier Access to Southwest Airlines Flights Through Hahnair

29 October 2025 at 09:24
Global Tourists Now Have Easier Access to Southwest Airlines Flights Through Hahnair

In an effort to expand ticketing capabilities across borders, Southwest Airlines has signed the airline’s first interline agreement with the international airline distribution leader HahnAir. Under the terms of the agreement, effective immediately, travel agents can book Southwest flights using the WN code in Amadeus GDS and may ticket using Hahnair’s HR-169 ticket stock. From the perspective of Southwest Airlines, this is an important step in expanding the company’s international services and improving the accessibility of Southwest services to international travelers.

As for domestic airlines, Southwest Airlines is the largest in the United States. The company operates a fleet of 802 Boeing aircrafts, the largest of its kind in the world. Southwest Airlines services 117 destinations across 11 countries, with a limited number of international flights. The consummation of this agreement with Hahnair allows Southwest Airlines to tap into an additional set of distribution networks, increasing the company’s visibility and ease of ticketing accessibility for global travelers.

The interline agreements of today, like the one between Hahnair and Southwest Airlines, are instrumental in the world of tourism, having an impact on the distribution. These agreements allow for the expansion of distribution for the airlines by interlining with the networks and distribution of the partners. For travelers, this is helpful in purchasing ticket for multi-leg flights, especially from other countries to the US.

Through Hahnair which links with over 350 affiliate airlines, now Southwest Airlines flights are inserted in a global booking system for travel agents and customers around the world. With the recovery of tourism on a global scale, this gives Southwest Airlines an opportunity to gain more international market share and smoother travel plans for passengers who want to travel to the US.

Enhancing Revenue and Increasing Ease of Access

Cost savings for international expansion is a major advantage for Southwest Airlines with this partnership with Hahnair. Southwest can access a wider customer base with the global distribution network sans major investment in the development of new international offices, customer service teams and the like. In regions with limited Southwest exposure, this agreement allows for better international access to Southwest’s network.

It is also predicted that this expansion will enhance the visibility of the airline company and the United States travel industry as a whole, subsequently facilitating the inflow of foreign tourists to the country and assisting the overall tourism balance to the United States. With the recovery of the world economy, tourists will be on the lookout for cheap and efficient air travel, which is why Southwest is popular for international tourists as well.

An Emphasis On More Integrated Travel

Southwest’s partnership with Hahnair is indicative of the ever-increasing focus on providing more integrated travel services to passengers. Airlines recognize the need to address the challenges of booking flights with several different airlines. Southwest’s partnership with Hahnair will enable travel agents and consumers to purchase segments of multi-leg trips that involve Southwest flights with greater ease, thus facilitating international to domestic flight connections.

In terms of tourism into the United States, this will mean that international customers will be able to easily plan Southwest Airlines trips that connect international and domestic destinations. International tourists will arrive at more gates to access tourism opportunities to the varied attractions the United States has to offer, from the major international and domestic airports to regional hubs.

The Future of Air Travel and Tourism

The strategic collaboration of Southwest Airlines with Hahnair may be the first step in strengthening global travel network integration and promotional tourism access on both sides of the Atlantic. These partnerships will be increasingly vital to airlines trying to expand and meet the demand for international travel as coronavirus restrictions ease.

The integration of Southwest Airlines into Hahnair’s global distribution system is expected to provide tour and travel operators as well as tourism authorities better avenues for international market promotion. This will lead to an increase in domestic air travel on Southwest and an increase of the international tourism receipts into the U.S. This will enhance the economic recovery of the U.S. travel and tourism industry.

Booking and Travel Information

Those wishing to travel on Southwest Airlines strategic allied partners operating in the Hahnair network can contact travel agents who have access and the relevant bookings. Tourists traveling to the U.S. on international legs of these flights will appreciate the ease of access to Southwest Airlines and swift connections to Hahnair members.

Sahnair and Southwest Airlines provide relevant websites with current information on flight particulars and also on bookings as well as schedules.

Conclusion

Southwest Airlines reached a new interline agreement with Hahnair, which expands Southwest’s global reach. This facilitates international travel to the U.S. for tourists at economical fares. Southwest Airlines, with its domestic strengths, is positioned to capture international market share, which subsequently increases international access to the US, thereby boosting tourism.

Nepal’s Mustang Experiences Unprecedented Tourism Growth with Over Over Forty Thousand Visitors Despite Heavy Snowfall and Pilgrimage Obstacles to Muktinath

Nepal’s Mustang Experiences Unprecedented Tourism Growth with Over Over Forty Thousand Visitors Despite Heavy Snowfall and Pilgrimage Obstacles to Muktinath
Nepal’s 
over forty thousand visitors

Nepal’s Mustang has witnessed a remarkable surge in tourism, with over forty thousand visitors arriving between October 18 and 27, despite the challenges posed by heavy snowfall and disruptions to the Muktinath pilgrimage. This influx of tourists, including both domestic and international travelers, highlights the region’s growing appeal as a must-visit destination, particularly with the enhanced accessibility provided by the Beni–Jomsom road. However, the snowstorm on October 27 created significant travel hurdles, making it difficult for many visitors to reach the revered Muktinath Temple, as frozen roads and severe weather conditions hindered their journey. Despite these obstacles, Mustang remains a vital economic hub for tourism, reflecting its increasing prominence on Nepal’s travel map.

Tourism Surge in Mustang Amidst Snowfall Disruptions

Between October 18 and 27, over 40,000 tourists flocked to Mustang, according to the District Police Office. This influx included 37,146 domestic visitors and 3,732 international tourists, who accessed the district through the Beni–Jomsom road, a key part of Nepal’s national infrastructure project. These figures underscore the growing popularity of Mustang as a tourism destination, especially during the peak travel season.

In total, 11,808 vehicles, ranging from buses to jeeps, cars, vans, and motorcycles, made their way into Mustang. This surge in both tourists and vehicles highlights the region’s increasing appeal, facilitated by enhanced road connectivity. Deputy Superintendent of Police, Tshiring Kippa Lama, shared these numbers, emphasizing the scale of the influx.

However, the pleasant influx of visitors was marred by disruptions to pilgrimage travel to Muktinath, a revered sacred site in the region. Starting on the night of October 27, heavy snowfall blanketed the Kagbeni–Muktinath road and the footpath from Muktinath Bus Park to the temple, posing significant travel challenges. The weather caused serious delays for pilgrims, particularly those making their way to the Muktinath Temple.

Rabin Subedi, an employee of the Muktinath Temple Development Committee, stated that the snow accumulation had made the route treacherous. The icy conditions and freezing temperatures disrupted the religious rituals of devotees, as both the Muktinath bathing pond and the 108 sacred water taps froze, leaving visitors unable to complete their spiritual activities.

On October 28 alone, 4,598 tourists entered Mustang via Myagdi, many of whom struggled to reach Muktinath due to the snowy conditions. Despite the challenges, tourism to the region remains a vital economic driver, with local authorities working to manage the increased numbers of travelers and mitigate the impact of the weather disruptions.

The sudden drop in temperature has made the region’s roads hazardous, further exacerbating the situation for both domestic and international tourists. As the winter season sets in, these disruptions are likely to continue affecting travel to Muktinath and other high-altitude destinations in the region.

This period also highlights the ongoing challenges of balancing tourism growth with the region’s infrastructure capabilities. While the Beni–Jomsom road project has enhanced accessibility, the region’s infrastructure is still susceptible to the impact of extreme weather conditions, particularly as snowfall becomes more frequent during the winter months.

Nepal’s Mustang has seen a surge of over forty thousand visitors in late October, despite heavy snowfall disrupting access to the Muktinath pilgrimage. This growth highlights Mustang’s rising popularity, even as adverse weather challenges its accessibility.

Despite the disruption, Mustang’s tourism scene remains robust, with the steady flow of both pilgrims and leisure travelers contributing to the region’s growth. As the government continues to invest in infrastructure improvements, it is likely that the tourism sector will become more resilient, offering both opportunities and challenges for future travelers.

At the heart of the lobby, Poppy’s Lounge offers a blend of contemporary elegance and comfort, serving handcrafted cocktails, shared plates, and featuring a striking grand chandelier crafted in Los Angeles.

Food & Beverage Program: Under the guidance of Executive Chef Prabeen Prathapan, Hilton Anaheim’s dining offerings have been entirely revamped, introducing new culinary concepts that emphasize Southern California’s rich flavors:

  • Poppy’s Restaurant: This all-day dining spot serves a variety of seasonal dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Highlights include California avocado toast, breakfast grain bowls, artisan steaks, and delectable desserts, complemented by craft cocktails and a selection of regional wines.
  • Hansen’s Market: An elevated grab-and-go market featuring fresh sandwiches, organic fruit, local coffee, California wines, and curated snacks, reflecting Anaheim’s local and regional culinary offerings.
  • Saltflower: A coastal-inspired poolside restaurant offering light bites, seasonal dishes, and tiki-style cocktails. The open-air concept, with views of the pool, creates a relaxed yet refined ambiance suitable for any season.

In-House Starbucks: The renovated Starbucks, covering 3,000 sq. ft., showcases a modern design with natural wood tones and ample natural light. The new space provides enhanced speed and convenience, offering a personalized experience for both hotel guests and the local community.

Saltflower anchors this rooftop oasis, offering alfresco dining and a resort-like atmosphere that promotes relaxation, socializing, and family enjoyment.

Hilton Anaheim has completed a significant multi-million dollar renovation, transforming the hotel with a fresh, modern design. The upgraded guest rooms, meeting spaces, and lobby provide an enhanced experience for travelers, especially those visiting the Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland Resort. This renovation reflects the hotel’s commitment to offering a sophisticated, comfortable stay with improved amenities for both business and leisure guests.

Greece’s Limited Service Export Growth, Three Point Three Percent Share, Compared To Strong Performances From Germany, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Malta, And Estonia

Greece’s Limited Service Export Growth, Three Point Three Percent Share, Compared To Strong Performances From Germany, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Malta, And Estonia

Greece

Greece’s limited service export growth, which accounts for just a 3.3 percent share, stands in stark contrast to the strong performances seen in countries like Germany, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Estonia. Despite its notable tourism sector, Greece’s service export sector has struggled to keep pace with these European powerhouses, highlighting challenges in diversifying its economic offerings and leveraging international demand beyond traditional industries. This comparison underscores the need for Greece to enhance its service export strategies to compete more effectively within the EU market.

Greece’s position in the EU’s service export market to non-EU countries has been underwhelming, as it ranks last among EU member states, with only a modest 3.3 percent share, according to the most recent data from Eurostat. This relatively small share highlights Greece’s limited involvement in Europe’s expansive and rapidly growing service-export sector, especially as services like finance, digital technologies, business consulting, and logistics continue to thrive on a global scale.

While Greece’s economy remains highly reliant on traditional sectors such as tourism, shipping, and professional services, the country has yet to significantly extend its service exports beyond the European Union. The nation’s heavy reliance on its established service sectors such as tourism, which primarily serve the EU market, further limits its potential for service export growth to the rest of the world. In contrast, the broader EU service-export market has seen substantial growth, particularly in industries that are increasingly essential in the globalized economy, such as financial services, technology, and logistics.

In 2023, the European Union collectively exported an impressive €1.44 trillion ($1.67 trillion) worth of services to countries outside the EU, reinforcing the EU’s position as one of the world’s leading exporters of high-value, knowledge-based services. This data from Eurostat underscores the growing importance of service exports to the EU’s overall trade balance, providing vital contributions to the region’s economy. The EU’s service exports support millions of jobs across its member states and have become an increasingly important driver of economic growth, which contrasts sharply with Greece’s limited participation.

A deeper look into the Eurostat figures reveals that the largest service exporters in the EU are typically the region’s industrial and financial heavyweights. Countries such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands dominate the ranking of service exporters to non-EU countries. These nations’ strong performance in areas like business consulting, financial services, and digital technology is reflected in their leading positions in the global service export market. Germany, for instance, remains a key exporter of financial services and industrial consultancy, while France and the Netherlands excel in business and digital services.

Ireland and Luxembourg also perform well in the service export sector, largely due to the presence of foreign-controlled corporations that dominate sectors like finance, technology, and professional services. These countries’ service export capabilities are largely driven by multinational companies that set up their regional hubs in these nations, benefiting from favorable business climates, low corporate tax rates, and established international trade networks. As a result, these countries punch above their weight in service exports despite their relatively smaller economies.

In contrast to the strong performances of Western and Northern European countries, southern and eastern EU members, including Greece, tend to export a much smaller proportion of services to countries outside the EU. This reflects several structural challenges that these nations face, including limited industrial capacity, smaller-scale corporations, and less competitive digital infrastructures. Greece, for example, has seen a slow growth in sectors like information technology and financial services, which are pivotal for increasing service exports. While Greece has been proactive in promoting sectors like tourism and shipping, these industries are primarily EU-facing, with their global market reach remaining relatively small.

The service export sector is also increasingly digital, and countries with well-developed digital infrastructures are better positioned to take advantage of global market opportunities. In recent years, several smaller EU countries have demonstrated how targeted innovation and digital policies can help them punch above their weight in service exports. Malta and Estonia, for instance, are notable examples of smaller EU member states that have managed to carve out a strong presence in global service markets, particularly in areas like financial services, information and communications technology (ICT), and digital platforms.

Malta, with its robust online gaming industry and well-developed financial services sector, has been particularly successful in leveraging its digital infrastructure to expand service exports, despite its small size. Similarly, Estonia has become a leader in digital innovation, offering a range of e-government services and attracting international business in the tech and digital sectors. Estonia’s success is largely attributed to its forward-thinking policies on digital infrastructure and its commitment to creating a digital-first economy.

Both countries show that even smaller EU nations can compete globally by focusing on niche sectors and fostering an environment that encourages innovation. Through targeted policy measures that focus on digital development, a skilled workforce, and investment in high-tech sectors, these countries have managed to significantly expand their service exports. Their success highlights the importance of strategic government intervention, investments in digital infrastructure, and a business-friendly environment as critical factors that enable smaller economies to thrive in the competitive global service market.

The success of countries like Malta and Estonia offers valuable lessons for other EU member states, including Greece. By adopting similar strategies and focusing on innovation in digital services and emerging industries, Greece could boost its share of the global service export market. However, to achieve this, Greece will need to overcome several barriers, including its reliance on traditional industries and its relatively underdeveloped digital economy. A concerted effort to modernize its service sectors, particularly in technology and finance, could unlock new export opportunities for Greece and help it capitalize on the growth of the global service economy.

Greece’s service export growth lags at just 3.3 percent, significantly behind stronger performances from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Estonia, due to its reliance on traditional industries and slower diversification efforts.

Ultimately, Greece’s limited participation in the global service export market can be attributed to a combination of structural and strategic challenges. However, with the right investments and policies, there is significant potential for Greece to improve its performance and expand its global service export footprint. By fostering innovation, upgrading digital infrastructure, and encouraging the growth of high-tech industries, Greece can tap into the growing demand for services and increase its competitiveness in the global market.

Thailand Tourism Remains Open Amid National Mourning Period, Welcoming Visitors with Adjustments and Cultural Sensitivity

Thailand Tourism Remains Open Amid National Mourning Period, Welcoming Visitors with Adjustments and Cultural Sensitivity
Thailand

Thailand’s Tourism Resilience Amid National Mourning

Thailand continues to remain open for tourism despite the ongoing national mourning period following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. The Royal Thai Government announced a year-long period of mourning to honor the late Queen, but this has not halted the country’s tourism activities. In fact, the tourism sector remains one of the most important pillars of Thailand’s economy, contributing significantly to its GDP. While visitors can enjoy the country’s famous landmarks, Thai culture, and rich history, they are encouraged to follow new temporary guidelines designed to show respect during this sensitive time. This article explores how Thailand’s tourism sector is responding to the national mourning period and what travelers need to know during their visit.

National Mourning Period and Its Impact on Tourism

The Royal Thai Government declared a year-long mourning period following the death of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, on October 25, 2025. This period of mourning has been set to honor her legacy and her contributions to the nation. While this mourning period is significant for the Thai people, the government assures that tourism remains open and continues to operate normally, albeit with temporary adjustments and cultural guidelines for visitors.

The national mourning period has triggered several cultural changes in Thailand, some of which have directly impacted tourism activities. Travelers can still enjoy their holiday in Thailand, but there are several considerations they must keep in mind, especially when visiting important cultural and royal sites.

Temporary Adjustments in Tourist Attractions

Despite the ongoing mourning period, most tourist attractions in Thailand remain open. However, several sites, particularly those with royal significance, have temporarily adjusted their schedules or implemented special rules. For instance, the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, two of Thailand’s most famous tourist landmarks, have closed their doors to the public for a brief period from October 26 to November 8, 2025, to allow for the Royal Merit-Making Ceremony. This closure is a part of the official mourning activities and reflects the nation’s commitment to honoring the memory of the late Queen.

In addition to the Grand Palace, several events have been postponed or adjusted in tone to reflect the solemn atmosphere of the mourning period. The Vijit Chao Phraya 2025 festival, originally scheduled to begin on November 1, 2025, has been moved to December 1, 2025, to align with the national mood. Similarly, the Loi Krathong Festival, a major event in Thailand’s calendar, will proceed but with adjusted ceremonies and a focus on remembrance. These changes reflect the careful balance Thailand is striking between maintaining its tourism appeal and respecting the national grieving period.

How Tourism Remains Unaffected in Many Areas

While several adjustments have been made to high-profile events and attractions, most of Thailand’s tourism infrastructure continues to operate as usual. Airports, hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants are still welcoming tourists, ensuring that the tourism experience is as seamless as possible. The country’s stunning beaches, vibrant cities, and rich cultural experiences remain readily accessible, and visitors can still enjoy the many facets of Thailand’s diverse offerings.

For example, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, and Pattaya continue to be popular destinations for international tourists. These regions are less affected by the mourning period compared to the royal sites in Bangkok. Additionally, the country’s well-known hospitality industry remains unaffected, with hotels and resorts operating as usual and offering their guests the high standards of service Thailand is famous for. Travelers who plan to visit these areas can expect to experience Thailand’s famous blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and warm hospitality.

Cultural Sensitivity and Dress Code Guidelines for Visitors

Given the significance of the mourning period, Thailand has issued cultural guidelines for visitors to ensure respectful behavior during their stay. The Royal Thai Government has recommended that all visitors wear subdued clothing, particularly in public spaces, when visiting royal and religious sites. Tourists are encouraged to wear black, dark colors, or other muted tones to express their respect for the late Queen during the mourning period.

This request is not only directed at Thai citizens but also to international visitors who are touring the country. The Ministry of Culture has emphasized the importance of maintaining a respectful demeanor when visiting sacred or royal sites, and many temples will have additional signage to remind visitors of this request. Though not mandatory, following these guidelines shows respect for Thai customs during this significant period of national mourning.

Continued Support from Thailand’s Tourism Authority

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has assured travelers that the country is fully committed to maintaining a positive and welcoming environment for tourists. Despite the changes and temporary adjustments to certain events and attractions, TAT has confirmed that the country’s tourism infrastructure will remain open to all travelers. The tourism body has also made it clear that all bookings and accommodations will proceed as scheduled unless there is a direct conflict with the mourning period’s events.

Furthermore, TAT has been proactive in providing updated information to tourists and local stakeholders regarding closures, event changes, and other related matters. Travelers are encouraged to check official TAT websites for the latest information about travel conditions, important events, and updated schedules to ensure that their visit to Thailand remains enjoyable and hassle-free.

Economic Impact on Tourism During the Mourning Period

Thailand’s tourism sector plays a pivotal role in its economy, with travel and tourism accounting for a substantial percentage of the country’s GDP. In 2024, the tourism sector contributed approximately one trillion Thai baht to the economy, a figure expected to rise in 2025 despite the ongoing mourning period. While the national mourning may have a temporary impact on the number of visitors attending major events, the Thai government is confident that the tourism sector will continue to thrive in the long term.

Additionally, Thailand’s hospitality and transportation sectors are well-equipped to handle continued tourist demand. International airlines, domestic flight services, and local transport providers continue to operate as normal, ensuring that travelers can access all major destinations across the country with ease. The TAT’s active efforts to reassure visitors and communicate any necessary changes reflect the government’s commitment to minimizing disruption in the tourism industry.

Positive Outlook for Thailand’s Tourism Post-Mourning Period

Despite the current national mourning period, Thailand’s long-term tourism prospects remain strong. With its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant cultural experiences, the country is expected to continue attracting visitors from around the world. Thailand has consistently been ranked among the top travel destinations in Asia, and the tourism industry is anticipated to rebound quickly once the mourning period concludes.

In particular, the post-mourning period may see a resurgence in tourism as visitors return for major events, festivals, and attractions that were temporarily affected. The country’s many cultural festivals, including the Songkran Festival, Loy Krathong, and various regional food and music festivals, will once again take center stage, offering travelers the chance to experience the best of Thai culture and hospitality.

Thailand’s Tourism Sector Endures with Respect and Resilience

In conclusion, Thailand’s tourism sector remains open and operational despite the ongoing national mourning period. While certain attractions, events, and cultural guidelines have been adjusted in response to the mourning, the country’s tourism infrastructure continues to serve international visitors. By adhering to respectful dress codes and participating in memorial activities, tourists can ensure that their visit is both culturally sensitive and enjoyable. The tourism industry’s resilience, supported by the proactive efforts of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, ensures that travelers will continue to find a welcoming environment as the nation moves forward through this period of reflection.

ZIPAIR’s nonstop service from Tokyo to Orlando in 2026 marks a historic milestone with exclusive Disney experiences for travelers and easy access to Florida’s best attractions

29 October 2025 at 09:15
ZIPAIR’s nonstop service from Tokyo to Orlando in 2026 marks a historic milestone with exclusive Disney experiences for travelers and easy access to Florida’s best attractions
ZIPAIR, Tokyo

In 2026, ZIPAIR will begin offering nonstop service between Tokyo and Orlando. Japan will be remodeling the Orlando and Florida region and will allow more travelers to visit Orlando and access Florida attractions. This service will be the first nonstop service between Japan and Orlando, and will allow residents to access all the famous attractions, including the Walt Disney World Resort, in a matter of hours. ZIPAIR has organized additional experience enhancements, including private Disney character greetings and nonstop access to exclusive Disney events. This service also builds important relationships and business opportunities for travelers wanting to visit all that Florida has to offer.

In an exciting development for travelers between Japan and Florida, ZIPAIR, the low-cost subsidiary of Japan Airlines, is preparing to operate the first-ever nonstop passenger flights between Tokyo and Orlando. This historic route, scheduled to launch in early 2026, marks a significant milestone for both regions, which have long sought a direct link across the Pacific.

ZIPAIR’s charter service will connect Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT) with Orlando International Airport (MCO), offering a convenient and direct travel option between these two popular destinations. The service will operate four round-trip flights on February 23, February 28, March 5, and March 10, 2026. The 7,251-mile route will be served by the airline’s state-of-the-art Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which features ZIP Full-Flat seats, offering passengers a premium travel experience in an affordable, low-cost format.

Each flight will depart from Narita Airport in the afternoon and arrive in Orlando on the same day, while return flights will leave Orlando in the afternoon and land in Tokyo the following evening. Tickets will go on sale in early December 2025 through ZIPAIR’s official website, with the airline aiming to make this groundbreaking service accessible to a wide range of travelers.

A Charter Service with Strong Support

These special charter flights will be operated with strong backing from local tourism and economic development authorities, aiming to foster stronger travel, cultural exchange, and business connections between Japan and Central Florida. This collaboration is designed to boost tourism and generate economic benefits for both regions.

The ZIPAIR Tokyo team has expressed excitement about this new route, calling it a “historic achievement.” Orlando’s global appeal, combined with ZIPAIR’s affordable long-haul travel model, makes this flight an ideal gateway for both leisure and business travelers looking for an affordable and direct route to the U.S. East Coast.

Disney Joins the Flight Adventure

As part of the launch of this new service, ZIPAIR has partnered with Disney Destinations International to offer exclusive perks for travelers who visit Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. These exclusive benefits will include a private Disney character greeting and access to a reserved viewing area for the EPCOT Luminous: The Symphony of Us night show, complete with special desserts for an unforgettable experience.

This partnership highlights how the new nonstop flights from Tokyo to Orlando will make Walt Disney World more accessible to Japanese visitors, making it easier for families and tourists to enjoy the magic of the theme park.

Historic First for Orlando and Florida

According to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, this service represents not only the first-ever direct flight between Tokyo and Orlando but also the first nonstop passenger connection between Florida and any destination in North Asia. This milestone further emphasizes the growing importance of Orlando as an international travel hub, showcasing its ability to connect with global destinations.

This inaugural service is also expected to draw attention to Orlando’s significant tourism industry, with an increasing number of international travelers looking to visit its world-class theme parks and entertainment offerings.

Is This Just a Trial or the Start of Regular Service?

While the new ZIPAIR flights are an exciting development, they will initially be offered as charter services, with aviation and tourism officials closely monitoring demand. This experiment will help determine whether there is sufficient interest and sustainable demand to transition these flights into regular scheduled services.

Charter services often rely on promotional funding and are typically used as a means to test the viability of new routes before committing to permanent operations. As seen in previous instances, charter flights rarely evolve into regular services unless there is a strong demand for the route. With the focus on leisure travel between Tokyo and Orlando, the route will likely appeal to tourists looking for a direct and cost-effective way to visit Florida’s renowned attractions. However, it remains uncertain whether ZIPAIR or other airlines will continue the route beyond these initial four flights.

Orlando: More Than Just Theme Parks

While Orlando is widely known for its famous theme parks, it offers much more than roller coasters and tourist attractions. Orlando is a city that balances high-energy entertainment with calm natural escapes, making it a well-rounded destination for all types of travelers.

The city’s central location is perfect for exploring both major tourist zones and the surrounding areas. Visitors arriving at Orlando International Airport (MCO) can expect a quick 15-minute drive to downtown Orlando or any of the major resorts. For those looking to explore beyond the parks, the city offers diverse attractions, including nature parks, museums, and outdoor activities.

Orlando’s weather also contributes to its appeal. The city enjoys a sunny climate year-round, with spring and fall offering the perfect balance of warm weather and minimal rain. For travelers who prefer fewer crowds, visiting during off-peak seasons (January to mid-February or September to early November) can provide a more relaxed and budget-friendly experience.

What to Do in Orlando Beyond the Parks

Though Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort are the main attractions, Orlando offers a variety of exciting alternatives for those looking to venture outside the theme parks. Visitors can enjoy helicopter night tours to see the skyline over ICON Park, Disney, and Universal, or embark on a drive-thru safari at Wild Florida where they can encounter giraffes, zebras, and bison.

For those seeking day-trip options, the Kennedy Space Center, St. Augustine, Clearwater Beach, and Crystal River offer unique experiences that allow visitors to explore other iconic Florida landmarks.

Where to Stay in Orlando

Whether you’re looking for luxury, mid-range, or family-friendly options, Orlando has a variety of accommodations to suit every budget and preference. Visitors can choose from upscale resorts like the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, or opt for more budget-conscious options like Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, which provides early park admission perks for guests.

For a more intimate experience, the Grand Bohemian Hotel offers a downtown boutique stay, complete with a rooftop pool and an impressive art collection. Additionally, STK Orlando serves as a great dining spot with its modern steakhouse ambiance, while Café Tu Tu Tango offers a creative and lively atmosphere for those looking to enjoy tapas and live art performances.

Dining in Orlando

Orlando’s food scene is as diverse as its attractions. Visitors can indulge in fine dining experiences like Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, or enjoy waterfront seafood at The Boathouse at Disney Springs. The city also boasts a wide range of international cuisine, from French breakfasts at Le Café de Paris to authentic Italian dishes at Christini’s Ristorante Italiano.

In 2026, ZIPAIR will begin its first-ever nonstop flights connecting Tokyo to Orlando. This development will grant Japanese travelers direct access to everything Florida has to offer–including the magic of Disney. ZIPAIR has never specialized in this type of service, so this service will provide special convenience, highlighted by Disney VIP access, unparalleled in the scope of Florida Disneyland.

The first nonstop flights ever to be offered by ZIPAIR will open new opportunities for travelers and exchange on so many levels. It will be interesting to see if Japan and Florida will be able to integrate nonstop flights in their regular transit. New flights, new opportunities. This is especially true for the collaboration between Disney and local Orlando tourism.

Gyeongju, a city with over a thousand years of history, is preparing to unveil a new, modern face as South Korea gears up to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in 2025.

The Korea Tourism Organization recently revealed a set of travel themes that will put Gyeongju on the global map for its unique blend of time, nature, and immersive experiences.

The first theme, “A city where classic, retro, and contemporary culture converge,” positions Gyeongju as a dynamic destination where the past and the present coexist harmoniously. A major symbol of this cultural fusion is the Contemporary Art Museum, located near the ancient royal tombs of Noseo-dong. The juxtaposition of modern art against the backdrop of Gyeongju’s historic burial mounds makes it an iconic site for visitors. The museum has already attracted a staggering number of visitors, drawing 180,000 in just six months since its opening. The museum’s location offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience a fusion of old and new, with contemporary artwork sharing space with one of Korea’s most significant archaeological sites.

Another key highlight under this theme is the revitalized area around Gyeongju Station, which provides a glimpse into the city’s historical past. The district has undergone a transformation, blending old-world charm with new-age design. One standout feature is a former stationmaster’s residence, now converted into a café, which offers both a historical touch and a contemporary flair. These revitalized streets represent Gyeongju’s effort to preserve its rich past while embracing modernity.

For those interested in immersing themselves in Korean heritage, the National Museum of Gyeongju is a must-visit. Often described as an open-air gallery of Korean heritage, this museum brings the past to life through exhibits of traditional artifacts, royal relics, and a rich collection of Buddhist art. The museum’s outdoor space allows visitors to experience Korea’s ancient culture while enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds the museum grounds.

The second theme, “Nature’s Beauty,” invites visitors to experience Gyeongju’s breathtaking landscapes. Gyeongju has long been celebrated for its natural beauty, and the city’s tranquil parks, lush forests, and dramatic coastlines are perfect for nature lovers. The Geumjangdae Wetland Park is one of the city’s most picturesque spots, featuring a river that divides the park into contrasting landscapes. The park’s boat-themed photo spots have become a popular Instagram destination, allowing visitors to capture the park’s stunning views.

For those venturing further into nature, Gyeongju offers a number of other natural wonders. The Yangnam Columnar Joints, located to the east of the city, are an awe-inspiring geological formation that has been designated as a natural monument. The coastal cliffs, shaped by volcanic activity, create an impressive sight for those who visit. Visitors can also explore Dorim Village, where a peaceful ginkgo forest offers a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. These natural attractions give Gyeongju a unique blend of history and natural beauty that is rare in many modern cities.

The third theme, “Adventure-Packed Gyeongju,” targets thrill-seekers and those looking for exciting activities to complement the city’s rich history. Gyeongju World, the largest amusement park in the Yeongnam region, is at the heart of this adventure-focused theme. The park offers some of the most thrilling roller coasters in Korea, including the inverted Phaethon, the towering Draken, and the backward-running Valkyrie. These attractions promise to get the adrenaline flowing for visitors of all ages.

In addition to Gyeongju World, the city offers other exciting experiences for adventure enthusiasts. A 3-kilometer luge track overlooking Bomun Lake offers a thrilling ride with stunning views of the surrounding area. For those who enjoy puzzles and problem-solving, Gyeongju has introduced outdoor escape-room games that are staged amid some of the city’s UNESCO-recognized heritage sites, including Daereungwon and Cheomseongdae. These games allow visitors to engage with Gyeongju’s cultural landmarks in a completely new way, blending fun and history in a unique experience.

Beyond the traditional tourist attractions, Gyeongju offers a variety of immersive experiences that allow visitors to connect more deeply with the local culture and history. The city has developed walking tours, interactive workshops, and cultural events that give travelers a chance to experience life as it was in ancient Korea. These experiences not only highlight Gyeongju’s heritage but also create opportunities for visitors to engage with the local community, learn traditional crafts, or enjoy performances of Korean music and dance.

Gyeongju’s modern makeover for 2025 aims to merge the best of both worlds—preserving the city’s deep historical roots while embracing its role as a dynamic, modern destination for tourists from around the globe. The themes announced by the Korea Tourism Organization underscore the city’s diverse offerings, from its rich heritage and natural beauty to its modern cultural attractions and adventure-filled experiences. As the world turns its attention to Gyeongju for the APEC summit, the city is set to shine as a multifaceted destination where history, nature, and excitement converge.

Ahead of the 2025 APEC Summit, South Korea’s Gyeongju is unveiling a bold and innovative tourism vision that blends its rich heritage with modern attractions, aiming to captivate global audiences and boost its international appeal.

With its blend of ancient monuments, modern culture, and outdoor adventure, Gyeongju promises to be a must-visit destination in 2025, offering something for every type of traveler—from history buffs and nature enthusiasts to adrenaline seekers and those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. Whether you are visiting to explore its rich past, enjoy its scenic beauty, or embark on an action-packed adventure, Gyeongju is ready to impress.

Battle for a green month: Can Bitcoin hold its gains as ‘Uptober’ comes to a close?

  • Bitcoin is fighting to close October in positive territory, a key historical signal.
  • The month has been highly volatile, with a 13% correction at one point.
  • A series of technical indicators are now pointing to a bullish short-term structure.

It has been an up-and-down and often frustrating month for Bitcoin traders, a period of wild price swings that has put the seasonal promise of an “Uptober” rally to a severe test.

Now, with just a few days left in the month, a tense battle is underway as the bulls fight to keep the world’s leading cryptocurrency in positive territory, a goal that could have significant implications for the rest of the year.

Historically, October has been a powerful launchpad for Bitcoin, delivering average gains of more than 20%. But this year has been a different story.

After spiking above $123,000 early in the month, the market was hit by a brutal 13% correction that saw prices plummet to $107,000.

Since then, the bulls have been in a grinding, hard-fought recovery, with the price currently hovering around $115,000, a meager 1.14% gain for the month.

A powerful macro tailwind provides support

This fragile recovery is being supported by a powerful macroeconomic tailwind.

Traditional markets are firing on all cylinders, with the S&P 500 hitting fresh record highs as investors confidently price in a quarter-point interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve this week.

This dovish monetary policy, combined with an easing of US-China trade tensions, has propelled a “risk-on” sentiment that typically benefits assets like crypto.

Adding another layer of support is a renewed wave of institutional interest.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded their third consecutive day of inflows, a clear signal of conviction from the market’s larger and more influential players.

The view from the charts: a bullish structure takes shape

A deep dive into the technical charts reveals a bullish short-term structure that suggests the path of least resistance is now to the upside.

The Average Directional Index (ADX), a key measure of trend strength, is sitting at a strong 32.14, a reading that suggests the current upward momentum is likely to persist.

At the same time, the Squeeze Momentum Indicator is flashing a “bullish Impulse,” a high-probability signal that directional movement to the upside is just beginning.

The Ichimoku Cloud analysis also shows Bitcoin trading above the clouds, another classic indicator of trend continuation.

The final hurdle: a pivotal Fed decision

While the technical and macro pictures are aligning in favour of the bulls, a major and binary risk event looms on the horizon: the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement on Wednesday.

While the market is pricing in a 25-basis-point cut, any hawkish language about the future path of interest rates could easily trigger a wave of short-term volatility.

The key for the bulls will be whether Bitcoin can maintain its critical support above the $114,000 level through any Fed-related turbulence.

If it can, then this “Uptober,” while not as explosive as many had hoped, may still end in the green, setting the stage for a potentially powerful final two months of the year.

Battlefield Launches RedSec Free-to-Play Battle Royale Spin-Off With up to 100-Player Matches

29 October 2025 at 08:25
jAs predicted by the early leaks and rumors surrounding the new game, EA has officially announced Battlefield RedSec as a free-to-play battle royale game "built on Battlefield's iconic DNA," with the new battle royale shooter launching on PC via Steam, Epic Games, and the EA App and on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Players will face off in 100-player battle royale (in 25 teams of four or 50 teams of two), squad mode, and a mission-based elimination mode. The game is set in Fort Lyndon, a government testing facility in California that has become a war zone, and the biggest Battlefield map to date. As you might expect of an urban setting, the battlefield varies from tight interior spaces to wide open city streets, and much of the environment in RedSec is destructible.

Battlefield RedSec calls for, at minimum, an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, or Intel Arc A380, and 16 GB of RAM. As is increasingly the case with multiplayer games these days, RedSec also requires that players have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled, effectively locking out any potential gamers on Linux, including the Valve Steam Deck. RedSec also gives creators access to Portal, the updated Battlefield UGC and custom game creator, replete with all the vehicles and weapons from Battlefield RedSec.

Ripple News: New Report Reveals XRP ETF Launch Timeline

29 October 2025 at 07:49
XRP ETF

The post Ripple News: New Report Reveals XRP ETF Launch Timeline appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The first-ever spot ETFs for Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR) began trading on Wall Street yesterday, marking a big moment for altcoins. But as these products go live, many investors are asking one question: when will XRP ETFs arrive?

Ripple’s latest State of the XRP Ledger – Q3 2025 report may have provided the first concrete timeline.

Seven U.S. Spot XRP ETF Applications Pending

According to the report, seven U.S. spot XRP ETF filings are currently under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The agency is expected to make decisions between October 18 and November 14, following its September approval of new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs.

Market data platform Polymarket now shows a greater than 99% probability that the SEC will approve a spot XRP ETF by the end of 2025. That level of confidence suggests strong institutional expectation that XRP will soon follow Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in joining the U.S. ETF market.

Futures Listing Clears an Important Regulatory Path

Ripple’s report points out that XRP has now met a key regulatory condition for ETF approval. The SEC’s updated listing framework requires a minimum of six months of regulated futures trading before any spot crypto ETF can be listed.

XRP futures began trading on Coinbase Derivatives Exchange on April 21, 2025, and later on the CME Group on May 18, 2025. Based on this timeline, XRP completes its six-month futures requirement by late November, allowing for potential SEC approval and a U.S. spot XRP ETF launch by the end of 2025.

Global Launches Strengthen XRP’s Case

While the U.S. review continues, international markets have already moved ahead. Three spot XRP ETFs launched in Canada in June 2025, while Hashdex introduced the world’s first XRP spot ETF in Brazil in April. 

These developments add pressure on U.S. regulators to follow suit, especially now that ETFs for Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera are trading actively on Wall Street.

Ripple-SEC Case Officially Closed

The legal uncertainty around XRP has also been resolved. On August 7, Ripple and the SEC jointly dropped their appeals in the Second Circuit Court. This confirmed Judge Analisa Torres’ July 2023 ruling as the final judgment in the case.

That ruling stated that Ripple’s programmatic sales of XRP on retail exchanges did not violate securities laws, though institutional sales did. Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million civil fine to close the matter.

With the case now legally settled, Ripple says the company is “well-positioned to support regulated financial products built on XRP,” hinting that ETF approval may only be a matter of time.

One UI 8 draining battery on Galaxy phones, watches – Samsung breaks silence

By:Yash
29 October 2025 at 07:01

Samsung has finally responded to the One UI 8 battery draining problem affecting users of Galaxy phones and watches. The company explains why users see a sudden decline in battery life after installing the One UI 8 update.

On September 15, Samsung started the One UI 8 update rollout. Starting with the Galaxy S25 series, the update was gradually expanded to dozens of devices. One UI 8 Watch update is also rolled out to the Watch Ultra and Watch 7.

Galaxy users are complaining about the battery drain problem on community forums and social media. They are asking others if they are also facing the same issue and seeking a fix to improve the battery life declined after the update.


Battery drain complaints

Users are filling the Samsung Community with criticisms about reduced battery life after the One UI 8 update. One of the comments reads, “I wonder if Samsung is unaware of the fast battery drain issue or if they simply have no intention of fixing it.”

One user with a Galaxy S24 posted a question, “The battery is draining fast after the update, is there a solution?” Another user stated, “There’s almost no change compared to the previous version, but the battery drains faster.”

Reddit’s Samsung-related subreddits are also filled with similar complaints. A user named claimed, “I regret the One UI 8 update. When I was using One UI 7, the Screen-On Time (SOT) on my Galaxy S25 was about 7 hours, but now it’s only 5 hours.”

A Galaxy Watch 7 user also left a question: “After the update, if I leave home with a 100% charge and return, the battery only has about 20% left. Previously, it had about 70-80% remaining. Can I downgrade (revert to the previous version)?”


Samsung’s response

Commenting on some complaints, Samsung explained that the cause behind battery drain isn’t just the One UI 8 update. The decline is influenced by various factors, including app updates, different usage environments, and usage patterns.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Battery

Samsung recommends users report the problem via the Members app and keep the log file attached. It also sought detailed information to better evaluate what’s wrong with the devices that are ruining the battery life.

Samsung (via Chosun) responded to users, saying:

Battery consumption is complexly influenced by various factors, such as updates to installed apps, changes in the device’s usage environment, or usage patterns.

How Galaxy S26 delay could affect Galaxy S25 users

By:Yash
29 October 2025 at 04:30

Galaxy S26 series and One UI 8.5 are stamped with each other, and they affect Galaxy S25 users as well. A delay in the next-gen flagships could also postpone the Beta launch of the new software and rollout to older devices as well.

Samsung has just unveiled its first TriFold device, scheduled for late 2025 release. Meanwhile, the S26 series is the most anticipated reveal. The software part has also become similarly awaited, given its scope of changes.

Why Samsung could delay the Galaxy S26?

Samsung is running late with the development of the Galaxy S26 Plus. The company reportedly had no plans to bring the Plus model next year. Instead, it has almost finished developing the Galaxy S26 Edge as a Plus replacement.

Meanwhile, Samsung has canceled the S26 Edge at the last minute after determining no potential in the form factor. As a result, the Galaxy S26 Plus has rejoined the lineup, but the development may render Unpacked a little late.

How Galaxy S26 delay affect S25 users?

If Samsung delays the Galaxy S26 series, the One UI 8.5 reveal will naturally be delayed. The new software is set to come preinstalled with the new flagships. The upcoming phones and software directly affect Galaxy S25 users.

Galaxy S25 series was rumored to get One UI 8.5 Beta in late November. With Samsung changing its plans, the Unpacked event seems to be pushed to March. That said, the Beta Program may also be delayed until early 2026.

Rumors suggest the One UI 8.5 Beta could be delayed, and the Galaxy S26 Plus is to be blamed. One UI 8 didn’t take much time to go official, but the update doesn’t seem like a major one despite bumping the Android version.

If you own a Galaxy S25 (or Plus or Ultra), the next couple of weeks are going to be quite important. If Samsung unveils the One UI 8.5 Beta, users will be able to access the new software advancements early, as the official release is likely in May 2026.

Dogecoin Price Struggles at $0.20 Support Amid Whale Selloff and Futures Liquidations

29 October 2025 at 06:00

The Dogecoin price is fighting to hold the psychological $0.20 support as large investors continue offloading holdings and leveraged traders exit the market. The Dogecoin price briefly traded above $0.21 earlier this week, but has since slipped by more than 2%, highlighting the mounting selling pressure in the market.

Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Bull Run Over? Analyst Predicts When DOGE Rallies Again

According to on-chain data, whales have sold over 500 million DOGE tokens in the past week, fueling fears of further downside. The selloff coincides with a sharp 61% drop in futures open interest, plunging from $5.03 billion to $1.95 billion, signaling widespread position liquidations and trader fatigue.

Dogecoin DOGE DOGEUSD

Futures Liquidations and Weak Technicals Weigh on Momentum

Derivatives data show declining participation across major exchanges, with traders closing out long positions rather than adding new exposure. Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume surged 17.5% to nearly $2 billion, a sign that sellers remain in control even as overall market recovery stalls.

Technical indicators paint a similarly cautious picture. On the daily chart, the Dogecoin price is forming a potential “death cross” between the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, a bearish pattern that often precedes a further drop.

If sustained selling continues, analysts warn the Dogecoin price could fall toward the $0.166 support, which aligns with the lower boundary of its long-term ascending trendline.

However, this same trendline has historically triggered strong rebounds. Previous retests have led to price recoveries of nearly 100%, leaving some traders optimistic that a similar setup could emerge if support holds firm.

Consolidation or Collapse? Key Dogecoin Price Levels to Watch

Currently, Dogecoin price hovers near $0.20 with a market cap of $30.3 billion, holding above the critical psychological zone but struggling to regain upward momentum. The immediate resistance lies between $0.204 and $0.210, while a decisive close below $0.19 could accelerate losses toward $0.18–$0.166.

For now, the balance between whale distribution and new buyer demand will determine DOGE’s next move. If fresh inflows return and futures activity stabilizes, a recovery toward $0.23–$0.25 remains possible.

Solana Eyes $210 Before Its Next Major Move—Uptrend Or Fakeout Ahead?

29 October 2025 at 05:00

An analyst has explained how Solana could decide its next big move after rising to $210, the resistance level of a Parallel Channel.

Solana Has Been Trading Inside A Parallel Channel Recently

In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how the trajectory of Solana is looking from the perspective of a technical analysis (TA) pattern. The pattern in question is a Parallel Channel, which forms whenever an asset’s price trades between two parallel trendlines.

The upper line of the channel is considered a source of resistance, meaning that tops can be probable to appear on retests of it. Similarly, the lower level is assumed to provide support to the price, helping it to arrive at bottoms. A breakout of either of these bounds can signal a continuation of the trend in that direction. That is, a surge above the Parallel Channel can be a bullish signal, while a drop under it may lead to bearish action.

There are a few different types of Parallel Channels, depending on how the channel is oriented with respect to the graph axes. Channels that have a positive slope are known as Ascending Channels, while those that slope downward are called Descending Channels.

In the context of the current topic, the third and simplest type is the one of interest: a Parallel Channel that’s also parallel to the time-axis. This case corresponds to a phase of true sideways consolidation in the asset.

Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Parallel Channel that the 4-hour price of Solana has been stuck inside for the last couple of weeks:

Solana Parallel Channel

As displayed in the above graph, Solana retested the lower level of the Parallel Channel last week and successfully found support. The cryptocurrency has since been rising and nearing the resistance level, located at $210. Considering the coin’s current trajectory, the analyst has noted that its price may be heading for a retest at $210 before making its next big move. However, the direction of such a move, if one happens, remains uncertain.

Given that the $210 level corresponds to the resistance line of the Parallel Channel, it’s possible that a retest could reject Solana all the way back down to the support level around $176. It’s also possible, though, that this retest could instead lead to a breakout. In this case, SOL could naturally see a sustained bullish push. It now remains to be seen which of the two scenarios will play out for the asset if the Parallel Channel holds and a retest takes place.

SOL Price

At the time of writing, Solana is floating around $200, up over 7.5% in the last seven days.

Solana’s DeFi Stack Expands With SolsticeFi’s Risk-Controlled Yield Platform — Here’s How

29 October 2025 at 04:00

The Solana decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem just gained another powerful addition with the launch of SolsticeFi. This innovative new platform is poised to introduce a much-needed layer of risk-controlled yield generation, directly addressing one of the primary concerns for users venturing into the safety of their deposited capital.

SolsticeFi is reimagining how investors earn on Solana by introducing a defensively engineered approach to yield, one that directly protects the value of user deposits. According to crypto commentator Madissa’s post on X, one of SolsticeFi’s most compelling features is its ability to allow users to continue earning staking rewards while keeping their assets liquid and usable across the broader DeFi ecosystem.

How SolsticeFi Balances Risk While Generating Yield

This innovation created continuous opportunities for user to deploy their capital in other protocols without interrupting their base yield, instead of locking up funds. SolsticeFi platform is designed to prioritize full transparency and validator diversification, minimizing exposure to single-validator risks and opaque yield platforms. Furthermore, depositing capital into SolsticeFi provides support for SOL’s network security while generating sustainable returns for users.

Crypto analyst Hokage has also mentioned how Solana is improving and completely revolutionizing financial transaction speeds in traditional finance (TraFi), where transfers take days, settlements drag, and middlemen slow everything down.

SOL has changed the game by creating a new block every 400 milliseconds, and currently, the central to this acceleration is Bam, the new block assembly marketplace. This Bam will speed up how quickly user transaction gets picked up and integrated into a block, and slash inclusion times to an astonishing 50-100 milliseconds. Building on this is Alpenglow, which takes finality down to an incredible 100-150 milliseconds faster than a blink, and the point where the network confirms the user transaction is 100% done and irreversible.

One project that stands out in these ultra-fast ecosystem steps is SolsticeFi’s USX, a stablecoin specifically built to move at that speed, which enables users to send dollars, deploy capital, and settle instantly. Hokage concluded that “while these advancements might sound like pure sci-fi, if you’ve been around the SOL ecosystem, you would know it’s not.”

Market Confidence Returns To Solana

While SolsticeFi provides speed and reduces risk to Solana yield platforms, KOLS Manager at Binance, investor, and trader BitGuru, has noted that SOL’s price is currently showing a strong bullish setup, after following a steady downtrend and now stabilizing near key support.

As a result of that action, the SOL market is now pulling back with considerable strength, aiming to break above the critical $210 resistance level, a zone that has capped multiple attempts at recovery. A decisive breakout above $210 would likely trigger SOL’s next leg higher toward $230 and beyond.

Whales Quietly Accumulate ADA as Cardano Nears Bullish Triangle Breakout, Is $5 Next?

29 October 2025 at 03:00

The Cardano (ADA) price is flying under the radar amid growing accumulation by large-holders (“whales”) and a technical formation that traders seldom ignore, a symmetrical triangle.

With ADA currently trading around $0.66, after briefly reaching $0.69 earlier in the week, the stage appears set for a breakout, or a breakdown. Analysts suggest that if the bullish scenario prevails, ADA could target $1 and beyond, potentially even reaching $5 or more in a longer-term move.

Whale Accumulation Signals Long-Term Confidence

Despite short-term price softness, on-chain data reveal that wallets holding large quantities of ADA are steadily increasing their positions.

According to recent reports, wallets with 100,000 ADA tokens have been accumulating over the past six weeks, even while retail demand remains lukewarm. This accumulation is taking place as ADA forms a low-volatility consolidation, such behaviour often precedes major market moves.

The divergence is noteworthy. While Open Interest and spot cumulative volume delta (CVD) remain weak, signaling limited retail/speculator engagement, whales are quietly buying the dips.

Enthusiasm among large-holders suggests confidence in ADA’s fundamentals and plays into the bullish thesis that this accumulation could underpin a powerful move once the technical breakout triggers.

Symmetrical Triangle Breakout Offers Route to Major Upside

Technical analysts highlight that ADA has been trading within a symmetrical triangle pattern, a convergence of support and resistance trendlines, typically signalling a buildup of tension before a decisive move.

The crucial support near $0.61 and resistance roughly at $0.70–$0.75 mark the boundaries of this formation. A decisive breakout above the upper trendline could unlock a rally toward $0.80–$0.85, and potentially beyond $1.70 per some projections.

Conversely, a breakdown below the support would invalidate the bullish setup and could see ADA revisit $0.55 or lower. Given the whale accumulation underway, the bullish scenario currently seems favoured, but traders must still watch for confirmation.

Cardano ADA ADA

Bottom Line

The question now gaining traction is: could ADA eventually hit $5? While the immediate target may be around $1 to $2, some longer-term models based on Fibonacci extensions and structural breakout maths place significantly higher levels on the table.

If ADA converts supply zones into support and elevates its on-chain narrative, the powerful combination of whale positioning + breakout could carry it much higher.

Luxury Goods Authentication Tokens: How Blockchain Protects High-End Fashion and Collectibles

29 October 2025 at 06:00

Luxury world is trust-based. When one buys a Gucci bag, Rolex watch, or Louis Vuitton wallet, he or she has the confidence based on the knowledge and understanding that it is genuine. Value is represented by the quality of the style, the logo, the craftsmanship, all that combined. But when the fake luxury market came up with fakes, the trust was cut off. Regrettably, counterfeiting has turned out to be a multi-billion-dollar business.

According to reports from 2025, counterfeit luxury goods alone are estimated to cost brands over 400 billion dollars in lost sales annually. Counterfeiting has become an international issue with fake designer clothes and imitated watches. The counterfeiters are using advanced printing and e-commerce techniques at their disposal, and hence imitations are very hard to spot, and this leaves the consumers and the brands in jeopardy.

Another approach was used in the past, where luxury brands were using a serial number, paper certificates, or unique packaging, and although brands were immensely proud of their capability to prevent counterfeiters by such means, the vast majority of these security measures were reproducible or lost. The introduction of blockchain technology is the place where there is more opportunity to change. Through the development of authentication tokens, luxury brands will now be able to offer an identification of all legitimate products being linked to a digital record that cannot be replicated or modified.

These tokens are helping rebuild trust. They give proof that a product is genuine. They also make it possible to track an item from the moment it is made until it is sold again in resale markets. This blog explains how these luxury goods authentication tokens work, why brands are using them, and what the future looks like for digital proof of luxury ownership.

What Are Luxury Goods Authentication Tokens

Luxury goods authentication tokens are like a digital passport for high-end items. They demonstrate that a product is not a duplicate. The tokens are identifiable such as a fingerprint and are stored safely in a blockchain network.

A luxurious brand sets a new bag, watch or jewelry and gives it a token. The brand name, date of manufacture, materials and serial number are some of the information contained in this token. This information is then written on the blockchain, and it cannot be altered. The token is kept with the item in the course of its life.

In the case of the sale of a product, the ownership of the token also changes. This will aid in monitoring the actual owner and preventing the entry of fake products into the market. The system is not complicated, but solid in usage. Any person who swipes or counterchecks the token can prove that the product is authentic.

Luxury goods authentication tokens are bridges between the online and the real world. They ensure that all products of luxury can be checked anytime. And since the blockchain is transparent and public, it is difficult to cheat the system.

How Blockchain Helps Verify Luxury Items

Blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that allows you to store information securely in blocks. When a block is inserted in the information chain, it cannot be erased or modified. The blocks are linked to the succeeding information. This is what renders blockchain credible to authentication.

Any luxurious item can create a record that captures all the noteworthy features of the product with regard to the user. The record can contain details on the object including identification, place of production, and ownership. Each time a luxury commodity is bought or sold among the owners, we will have a new entry in the book of records and we will be able to construct the whole history of disposition between factory and customer.

Traditional certifications can be lost or counterfeit. The information in blockchain is indefeasible. The token generated about the luxury product can be viewed and tracked by the public, which is completely stored on the blockchain. Thus, the consumer who bought the Prada bag or Rolex watch will simply have to check the authenticity with the help of the blockchain in case they wish to do so.

Here’s a simple comparison to show the difference:

Almost impossible to fake

Blockchain makes luxury verification more reliable. It keeps every product’s truth in one safe place. This system gives brands protection and gives customers confidence that what they are buying is genuine.

Why Brands Are Adopting Authentication Tokens

Luxury brands have always been in battle against imitation products. Over the past few years, most individuals have turned to authentication that is based on blockchain as it comes with permanent solutions and not short-term solutions. Digital trust is replacing physical beauty in the luxury market as much as physical beauty is, hence the rapid transition.

The brands that are included in the Aura Blockchain Consortium are Prada, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton. This technology assigns a digital identity to each product and allows consumers to check it at any time. It allows a buyer to determine the date, place of creation and resale of the item.

In the case of luxury houses, it is not only about prevention of fakes. New business opportunities are also created by authentication tokens. Indicatively, when a product is sold in the resale market, the brand continues to remain as part of a transaction. That preserves its worth and relationship.

Here’s a small look at how popular brands are already using this system.

These brands have seen that authentication tokens help keep their heritage safe. Buyers feel proud knowing their product has a digital record from the official brand. It’s also helping younger buyers, who are used to digital items, feel more connected to luxury ownership.

Another reason for this move is sustainability. Numerous brands are now demonstrating how the materials for their goods and products are sourced and produced with blocks. This can offer proof of ethically sourced and manufactured products, which is very important to modern luxury consumers today.

How Luxury Goods Authentication Tokens Work

Luxury goods authentication tokens have a simple yet effective process. The objective is to connect each physical item to a digital identity that is ultimately stored forever as part of the blockchain. This digital identity will travel with the product as it crosses owners or geographical locations. The process can be divided into three general facets: the creation of a digital ID, the linking of a token to the ID, and the transfer of ownership.

Digital ID Creation

Every luxury item is produced with a unique digital ID. When a bag, shoe, or watch is produced, its specifications are captured in a digital record. Digital records may include aspects ranging from the specific materials used, color, model number, place of manufacture, and even the code of the artisan. These records are retained in the blockchain immediately, establishing the product’s digital fingerprint.

This means that even if a brand produces hundreds of the same model, no two products will ever be identical because each item is associated with an ID. No two identical items will ever have the same digital signature.

Token Linking

After the ID is created, it gets linked to a blockchain token. This token acts as proof of authenticity. To make the connection real-world, brands use methods like QR codes, NFC chips, or even microchips stitched inside the product. When someone scans the code, they can see the digital record on the blockchain. The connection between the physical product and digital record is what makes counterfeiting extremely difficult.

Ownership Transfer

Once the item is sold, the ownership information is also updated on the blockchain. The token now shows the new owner. This process repeats every time the product changes hands. No paperwork is needed, and ownership can be confirmed instantly.

The steps can be seen in this table below.

Description

1

Digital ID created for each product

2

Token recorded on blockchain

3

Linked to physical item using chip or code

4

Ownership updated during resale or transfer

5

Record stored permanently for verification

This system builds a clear and permanent history for every luxury product. It keeps both the brand and the customer protected. And since blockchain is shared publicly, any person can verify the authenticity without needing to trust only the seller.

Benefits of Authentication Tokens for the Luxury Industry

Luxury brands have started seeing big results from using authentication tokens. These tokens are not only protecting brands from fake products but also changing how customers interact with their purchases. The system brings transparency and long-term value for both buyers and sellers.

The first major benefit is that authentication tokens prevent counterfeit products from proliferating. When each product is assigned a digital ID on blockchain, a counterfeit version cannot be created. The blockchain record demonstrates where the product originated and verifies that it is original. This provides buyers with peace of mind while also strengthening the brand’s reputation.

The second advantage is customer trust. Customers increasingly demand to know where their products come from and how they were created. Blockchain records allow marketers to show consumers the whole lifecycle of a product, from conception to delivery. Allowing customers to see that information for themselves fosters trust and enhances the possibility of repeat purchases. Another advantage for customers is openness in resale markets.

Watches, shoes, and purses are among the many luxury items traded and resold in secondary markets. When each of these products has a blockchain record, the buyer in the resale market can check its history before committing to buy.

This adds value to the secondhand market and encourages more customers to purchase authentically. The final big benefit is that it allows firms that believe in sustainable and ethical fashion practices to demonstrate how they obtain their materials, where they manufacture their products, and how they compensate their employees. This enables brands to communicate data in order to meet sustainability goals while also providing consumers with trust in the products they purchase.

Real-World Examples of Authentication Token Projects

The shift towards authentication tokens is no longer theoretical. Numerous prominent blockchain and luxury consortia projects are fully functional and ongoing around the world. 

The, Aura Blockchain Consortium, founded by LVMH, Prada and Cartier provides the largest consortium in terms of legacy luxury in existence, using a blockchain to provide an unverifiable certificate of authenticity for each product. Customers then scan along with being able to even verify real time data of the product’s journey along with sourcing of materials. Aura Blockchain Consortium also connects to resale markets so that second-hand purchasers are receiving verified goods as well. 

Another successful project is Arianee, an open blockchain platform utilizing digital identity protocols for luxury products, watch brands such as Vacheron Constantin and Breitling use Arianee to record ownership. Arianee’s open standard makes it simple for brands to adopt, without them having to build new, unique infrastructure.

VeChain is also known for helping track supply chains of luxury products. It places small chips in physical goods that connect to blockchain records. This helps detect fake products even before they reach the market.

Conclusion

Luxury good authentication tokens are changing how consumers think about ownership. They allow the user to prove the authenticity of an item and assist in linking the physical experience to the digital experience. This tokenile system protects brands from counterfeit items and adds confidence to customers that their items are authentic.

Leading luxury brands like Prada and Cartier are ushering in this shift. Blockchain technology has made the verification process safer, more efficient, quicker and more verifiable. Buyers will be able to verify the physical and digital histories of a product in seconds using a simple scan instead of relying on the traditional paper system.

Although there are still barriers, including cost, privacy aspects and education, the direction is clear. The luxury market is embracing a digital future where every product sold will have a verifiable identity.

The idea of using authentication tokens will continue to expand and we will all see a future where every handbag, watch or pair of shoes has a digital twin that tells its story. This is what luxury will become: an increase in transparency and trust in what constitutes exclusiveness and uniqueness.

Filing: Amazon cuts more than 2,300 jobs in Washington state as part of broader layoffs

29 October 2025 at 05:22
GeekWire File Photo

Amazon will lay off 2,303 corporate employees in Washington state, primarily in its Seattle and Bellevue offices, according to a filing with the state Employment Security Department that provides the first geographic breakdown of the company’s 14,000 global job cuts.

A detailed list included with the state filing shows a wide array of impacted roles, including software engineers, program managers, product managers, and designers, as well as a significant number of recruiters and human resources staff. 

Senior and principal-level roles are among those being cut, aligning with a company-wide push to use the cutbacks to help reduce bureaucracy and operate more efficiently.

Amazon announced the cuts Tuesday morning, part of a larger push by CEO Andy Jassy to streamline the company. Jassy had previously told Amazon employees in June that efficiency gains from AI would likely lead to a smaller corporate workforce over time.

In a memo from HR chief Beth Galetti, the company signaled that further cutbacks will continue into 2026. Reuters reported Monday that the number of layoffs could ultimately total as many as 30,000 people, which is still possible as the layoffs continue into next year.

Manor House Country Hotel Takes The Crown As Ireland’s Most Romantic Hotel, Drawing International Tourists To Enniskillen

29 October 2025 at 05:31
Manor House Country Hotel Takes The Crown As Ireland’s Most Romantic Hotel, Drawing International Tourists To Enniskillen

The Manor House Country Hotel which is located on the banks of the lough erne lake was recently awarded as the Most Romantic Hotel of 2025 at the Irish Hotel Awards. The hotel also won the Wedding Hotel of the Year (Ulster) as well as Spa Hotel of the Year (Ulster). This is a positive thing for the country’s tourism and guest demand.

This accolade arrives at a time when couples and families are seeking elevated experiences in unique locations and the Manor House is now poised to leverage its award-winning status to attract a broader share of visitors to Fermanagh.

What the awards say & why it matters

At the awards ceremony held on 20 October at Johnstown Estate, Co Meath, the judging panel lauded the Manor House for being a truly majestic building in a stunning location, with exceptional staff and “service that is second to none, well above four-star level. According to the judges, under-the-radar visits by mystery shoppers revealed a guest treatment that will live long in the memory for all the right reasons.
The hotel’s Spa achieved a flawless 100 percent score, the judges noting sensational treatments delivered by highly-skilled therapists which further enhances the hotel’s positioning as a luxury destination.

New services and amenities for couples and families

To capitalise on its elevated status, the Manor House has introduced and highlighted a number of new or enhanced offerings designed for both couples and families:

  • For couples: The hotel’s Premier Suites and Luxury Junior Suites deliver expansive space and lake-view panoramas, making them ideal for anniversaries or romantic escapes.
  • For families: Executive Family Rooms with two double beds accommodate up to two adults and two children, acknowledging multi-generational stays.
  • Spa & leisure facilities: The “Spa Sanctuary” boutique spa offers Italian skincare brand treatments, while the leisure complex provides a 20-metre pool, outdoor hot tub, sauna, steam room and newly-renovated gym studio.
  • Eco-conscious touches: The hotel now features four electric car-charging points (two of them fast chargers), reflecting its commitment to sustainable practices.
  • Dining choices: From the fine-dining Belleek Restaurant with lake views to the family-friendly Cellar Bar & Bistro and lively Watergate Bar, guests of all tastes and ages are catered to.
  • Offers and packages: Special deals such as two nights bed & breakfast and two dinners or stay two nights and get the third 50 percent off enable longer stays that benefit both couples and families.

These enhancements make the Manor House attractive not only for honeymooners or romantic weekends but for parents with children, grandparents, and extended families, broadening its market reach.

Tourism impact: what this means for the region

The hotel’s triple-win at the Irish Hotel Awards places Enniskillen and the broader Fermanagh Lakelands firmly on the map for visitors seeking premium lodging. For tourism stakeholders this creates several ripple effects:

  • Couples planning romantic breaks may now view the region as a credible alternative to more conventional destinations, increasing room occupancy, visitation days, and spend.
  • Families seeking high-quality accommodation (with leisure and spa amenities) will recognise that the Manor House delivers more than just a base, it’s a destination in itself.
  • The award acts as a marketing springboard: potential guests will be drawn to the Most Romantic Hotel label, amplifying digital search-traffic, bookings, and social-media visibility.
  • Local businesses, restaurants, boat-hire operators on Lough Erne, activity providers, and tour services stand to benefit from increased footfall and extended stays.
  • Seasonal dynamics may shift: the special-offers encouraging multi-night stays help smooth occupancy during off-peak times, strengthening the resort’s year-round appeal.

The hotel’s lake-side setting, historic manor house architecture and immersive leisure offerings make it a magnet for modern travellers who combine relaxation with exploration. With the award shining a light on the destination, Enniskillen is now in a stronger position to carve out a niche in luxury travel within Northern Ireland.

Practical travel tips for guests

  • Book early: With heightened interest likely after the award announcements, advanced reservations are advisable, especially for Premier Suites or family rooms.
  • Combine stay with local experiences: Use the Manor House’s Plan the Perfect Group Trip package to explore Fermanagh via cruiser or luxury coach, for example, lake cruises or gin-tasting tours.
  • Bring varied clothing: The hotel’s leisure complex is top-tier, so pack swimwear and active gear. Also bring smart-casual wear for Belleek Restaurant’s fine dining.
  • Consider extended stays: Offers such as third night 50 percent off make longer stays financially attractive, pair multiple nights with local excursions (e.g., on Lough Erne).
  • For families: Take advantage of Executive Family Rooms and child-friendly amenities; the region’s attractions (castle tours, lakeside activities) make it more than a hotel stay.

Final Thoughts

For travellers wishing to obtain one of Ireland’s most memorable experiences, awards aside, the Manor House Country Hotel located in Ennniskillen, is far more able to accommodate the couple looking to rekindle the romance or the family looking to obtain a relaxed luxurious getaway. Its latest recognition, Ireland’s Most Romantic Hotel, is certain to attract many more to the Lough Erne. The Fermanagh Region will gain more recognition as a place worth visit. This hotel has all the elegant amenities, well thought packages, a historical lakeside location. As such, this hotel will guarantee both pair’s private escapes and pleasant family adventures, all in ease.

Cuba Braces for Hurricane Melissa After It Causes Devastating Damage in Jamaica, With Global Airlines Adjusting Travel Schedules

Cuba Braces for Hurricane Melissa After It Causes Devastating Damage in Jamaica, With Global Airlines Adjusting Travel Schedules
Cuba braces for Hurricane Melissa after it causes devastating damage in Jamaica, with global airlines adjusting travel schedules

Cuba braces for Hurricane Melissa after it causes devastating damage in Jamaica, with global airlines adjusting travel schedules. As one of the strongest storms to strike the Caribbean in modern history, Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28, 2025, unleashing fierce winds and heavy rains. The storm, which reached Category 5 status, has left a trail of destruction, particularly in popular tourist destinations like Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Thousands of travelers are stranded as airports close and flight schedules are severely disrupted. The storm’s path now threatens Cuba, prompting evacuations and airline disruptions across the Caribbean. With the hospitality industry facing significant damage and operations halted in many areas, tourists and travelers are advised to stay informed about their flight statuses, rebooking options, and any emergency measures put in place.

Cuba Prepares for Hurricane Melissa While Jamaica Recovers From Its Damaging Effects and Flights Resume

Cuba is preparing for the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the biggest hurricane of the season, as it continues to impact Jamaica and the region’s tourist sectors. Melissa is currently the most powerful hurricane to impact Jamaica. Since it made landfall in the country on October 28, it has disrupted the lives of thousands and posed significant challenges to the tourism industry. As powerful hurricanes disrupt the region, travelers should remain updated on canceled flights, travel restrictions, and the overall conditions in the affected areas.

Melissa’s Impact on Jamaica’s Tourism Sector

Hurricane Melissa has severely impacted Jamaica’s tourism industry. As Jamaica’s tourism sector is one of the most crucial for the economy and is often at the center of hurricane destruction, the impact of Melissa has been greatly felt. The devastation is due to Melissa being the 5th category hurricane, the strongest to impact the region this year. The destructive flooding, hurricane winds, and the resulting building damages and blackouts have posed significant challenges to the sector. Major tourist areas of Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios disproportionally bear the brunt of the damages and blackouts due to their dense populations.

With the passing of the storm, Jamaica’s most significant source of foreign exchange, the tourism industry, is facing massive challenges. Jamaica’s tourism becomes most impacted when there is the need to build or repair required infrastructure to support the industry. Jamaica also suffers the loss of the immediate income those tourists would have brought to the country. On the upside, however, the loss of the immediate income is somewhat compensated for by the relatively larger income potential those tourists would spend on the island.

Flying Woes

After the storm, flights going or coming to/from Jamaica were approved to resume after a 48-hour period of waiting in the storm’s relative calm. Jamaica’s 2 international airports (Sangster, Montego Bay & Norman Manley, Kingston) were forced to close. Passengers going to/from those airports have also suffered extended wait times.

Flight cancellations, delays and, consequently, wait times have also extended at several North American and Caribbean airlines. American, Delta, JetBlue, and Air Canada are a few of the several airlines that had to also adjust and/or delay/extend their flights.

For American Airlines alone, more than 50 flights to and from Jamaica were canceled, as well as similar cancellations from Delta Airlines and JetBlue. These passengers might want to verify their flight status and approach the airlines straight for rebooking and other accommodation necessities. Many passengers to Jamaica will have their vacations impacted by the closure of some resorts, but others will be offering partial refunds and alternate lodgings until the resorts are safe to use and the storm has cleared.

Cuba Prepares for Hurricane Melissa’s Arrival

Cuba gets ready to feel the effects of Hurricane Melissa, as the storm moves west. Cuba, located north of Jamaica, is next in the storm’s path and has issued evacuation orders for the eastern provinces of Santiago de Cuba and Holguin. More than 500,000 have been evacuated as precaution, with additional flight changes to Cuba from several international airlines.

For now, flights from Cuba’s major airports, including Havana’s José Martí International Airport, have been temporarily suspended, with more cancellations expected down the line. Traveling Storms have caused Delta Airlines, Iberia, and Air France to issue rebooking advisories. Unlike travel bans which have been placed on Cuba and other Caribbean islands, Storms have Travel advisories which is less severe. Travel rebooking and travel advisory on and off the island provide little consolation for Caribbean travelers for the travel bans.  There are advisories for Cuba and Jamacia and airplane companies are ordered to disclose the status of flights and Travel advisories for the Caribbean islands. The rebooking caused by the storms are said to provide little consolation for travelers. There is a travel ban for Cuba and other Caribbean islands.

Travel bans have affects Jamacia and Cuba. There is a travel management system that captains are ordered to access while boarding. In Jamacia, the resorts which are the centers of the tourism-based economy have been hit the worst. Havens in the tourist rich areas of Montego Bay, Nergil, and Ocho Rios have been badly battered. Many hotels have been left without power throughout the storm due to the devastation of their electrical systems by water and compromised roofs. The touching accounts of the devastation of major hotels on the islands contain details of flooded parts which have been rendered useless, and severe wind damage to external structures.

In Cuba, the expected impacts of the storm are significant and will likely affect the tourism industry for a while. The eastern region of the country has hotels that are likely going to evacuate. In Havana, the storm has already resulted in some tourist attractions being closed, and travel to and from the city has also been restricted. These areas are going to face interruptions to their tourism for a considerable period of time.

Most hotels in both countries are coordinating with local emergency management and law enforcement. Because a number of hotels are closing, travelers are going to have a hard time finding hotels and will likely have to stay in emergency or evacuation shelters. The hotels that are not closing will likely have reduced services, and some hotels will actually charge lower emergency rates.

Given that the full impact of the storm is still taking place, keep in mind that travel disruptions may happen in the following days. Always prioritize safety and stay informed. Make sure to find the most up-to-date information before travel to avoid inconveniences.

Special Marine Warning As Waterspouts And Hazardous Winds Threaten Coastal Waters: Key Safety Tips For Tourists Visiting Texas, US!

29 October 2025 at 05:01
Special Marine Warning As Waterspouts And Hazardous Winds Threaten Coastal Waters: Key Safety Tips For Tourists Visiting Texas, US!

On October 28, 2025, a Special Marine Warning was issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for Galveston, Texas, and its surrounding coastal waters. The warning, which lasted until 7:15 PM CDT, was prompted by a severe thunderstorm capable of producing waterspouts, as radar indicated the presence of strong winds and rapidly changing conditions. The storm was located near Christmas Bay, just south of San Luis Pass, and was moving southeast at 10 knots, putting several coastal areas at risk of hazardous weather conditions.

This weather event has the potential to cause significant disruptions to maritime activities and pose serious safety risks for both locals and tourists in the region. Waterspouts, which can easily overturn boats and create dangerous sea conditions, along with wind gusts of 34 knots or greater, are expected to be the primary threats.

Impacted Areas and Key Tourist Destinations

The areas affected by the Special Marine Warning include a stretch of coastal waters from High Island to Freeport, TX, extending out 20 nautical miles. Key tourist destinations along the coastline that may be impacted by the severe weather include Galveston Island, Bastrop Bay, Drum Bay, Christmas Bay, and southwestern West Bay. These areas are popular for boating, fishing, and water-based tourism, which are at risk due to the potential for sudden, violent winds and waves caused by the storm.

Tourists visiting Galveston, particularly those on water excursions or in coastal areas, should be aware of the heightened risks associated with waterspouts and powerful gusts. The popular Galveston Island and surrounding waters are known for attracting tourists seeking picturesque coastal views, water sports, and nature tours. Visitors to these sites are encouraged to stay informed about changing weather conditions to avoid unnecessary risks.

What Tourists Should Do: Safety Tips for Staying Safe

As the NWS continues to monitor the situation, the most pressing concern for those in the affected areas is safety, particularly for those near or on the water. Here are some key safety protocols for tourists in the region:

  1. Avoid Coastal Waters: Tourists are advised to stay off boats or any watercraft in the affected areas, especially during the warning period. Waterspouts can form rapidly, and they are capable of overturning boats or causing injuries to individuals on the water.
  2. Seek Shelter Immediately: If you are near the coastline or on a boat, take immediate shelter in a sturdy structure on land. Coastal areas like Galveston can experience rapidly changing weather conditions, and it’s essential to seek cover in a safe location until the warning has passed.
  3. Monitor Official Sources: Stay informed about weather conditions by checking official sources like the National Weather Service for real-time updates. Authorities may issue further warnings or updates depending on the storm’s progression.
  4. Keep Away from Beaches and Waterfront Areas: For those visiting Galveston’s beaches, it’s best to stay clear of the shoreline during the warning period. Strong winds and high waves could make these areas dangerous, and sudden gusts may cause damage to property or result in accidents.
  5. Follow Local Guidance: In case of evacuations or additional safety measures, follow the advice of local authorities and emergency services. Stay in touch with your hotel, tour operators, or guides to ensure you are aware of any changes to your itinerary.

Potential Impacts on Local Tourism

Galveston and the surrounding areas are popular tourism hubs, particularly for families, beach-goers, and water sports enthusiasts. Galveston Island, home to a rich history, vibrant culture, and scenic waterfront views, is known for its historic sites, beaches, and family-friendly activities. However, extreme weather conditions, such as the ones forecasted in this Special Marine Warning, can lead to cancellations of water-based tours, disruptions in beach activities, and potential damage to coastal infrastructure.

Many tourists visit the area for activities like fishing, boating, and watersports, which are all at risk during this storm event. The potential for waterspouts and high winds could disrupt these activities, affecting not just local businesses but the tourism economy as a whole. With safety being the top priority, tourists are encouraged to explore indoor attractions or reschedule outdoor excursions until conditions improve.

Increased Vigilance and Future Warnings

As the situation evolves, it is important for both tourists and residents to remain vigilant. The National Weather Service has indicated that waterspouts could continue to form and move throughout the evening, posing ongoing threats to small craft and coastal safety.

The NWS also warns that conditions could worsen as the storm progresses, and additional warnings may be issued if necessary. Visitors to Galveston and other affected coastal areas are strongly encouraged to heed these warnings, stay indoors, and avoid any unnecessary travel near or on the water.

Stay Safe During Unpredictable Weather Conditions

As Galveston, Texas, faces the threat of waterspouts and high winds, tourists are reminded to prioritise safety above all else. The combination of strong winds and the potential for waterspouts creates hazardous conditions that can impact both the local community and visitors. By staying informed, adhering to safety protocols, and avoiding risky activities, tourists can ensure their safety during this unpredictable weather event.

Local authorities have made efforts alongside the police to protect residents and visitors which means that each of us has our personal responsibility to listen to the instructions given in order to mitigate the effects of the storm strategies designed to reinforce defences. Keep in mind that the old adage, better to be safe than sorry, is particularly wise when dealing with the ocean and its potentially treacherous conditions.

Thailand Unites with Malaysia, and Vietnam to Promote Off-Season Travel in 2026 to Combat Overcrowding and Surge Sustainable Tourism:What You Need to Know

29 October 2025 at 05:00
Thailand Unites with Malaysia, and Vietnam to Promote Off-Season Travel in 2026 to Combat Overcrowding and Surge Sustainable Tourism:What You Need to Know

As travel begins to rebound in 2025, Southeast Asian countries are rolling out innovative strategies to promote off-season travel. With a focus on sustainable tourism, these nations are tackling the problem of overcrowding and creating opportunities for tourists to visit during the quieter months. By encouraging travel during off-peak periods, countries like ThailandMalaysia, and Vietnam aim to balance tourism more effectively, reduce strain on popular sites, and distribute benefits more equitably across regions.

This article delves into how Southeast Asia’s tourism sectors are responding to overcrowding, emphasizing efforts to sustain the industry while preserving the natural and cultural treasures that make the region so appealing.

Thailand’s “Love Season” Campaign

In a move to combat overcrowding during the busy tourist season, Thailand has launched the “Love Season” campaignto attract visitors during the typically quieter months of June to September. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)is working to reframe the rainy season as a time for unique and relaxing experiences. The initiative promotes destinations less affected by mass tourism, offering attractive discounts, cultural experiences, and special promotions that highlight the authentic charm of Thailand’s off-season offerings.

Thailand’s off-season strategy not only reduces pressure on over-visited spots like Bangkok and Phuket but also provides locals with the chance to experience a more peaceful and sustainable form of tourism. The “Love Season” campaign encourages travelers to visit smaller towns and remote islands that often remain overshadowed by the country’s famous attractions. Through this initiative, Thailand is fostering a more sustainable travel model that supports the local economy year-round.

For more information on Thailand’s off-season initiatives, visit the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s page on Facebook.

Malaysia’s Year-Round Tourism Strategy

Malaysia has long been a popular destination for both regional and international tourists. However, the surge in visitors during peak periods has led to overcrowding at iconic spots like Kuala LumpurPenang, and Langkawi. To counter this, the country has unveiled a comprehensive year-round tourism strategy, promoting travel during the off-season months. By encouraging sustainable tourism practices and eco-friendly initiatives, Malaysia aims to distribute visitors more evenly throughout the year.

One of Malaysia’s key initiatives is the Global Travel Meet 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, which focuses on fostering sustainable tourism solutions to help manage overcrowding. The event brings together travel industry experts, offering a platform to discuss the future of tourism in the region and how to achieve a more balanced flow of visitors throughout the calendar year. This strategy is already yielding results, as the nation promotes lesser-known destinations, offering discounts to travelers willing to venture outside of the typical tourist routes.

Malaysia’s tourism board is encouraging visitors to explore the less-crowded areas of the country, like the Cameron HighlandsSarawak, and the East Coast of Malaysia, all while focusing on environmental sustainability and supporting the local community.

Vietnam’s Sustainable Tourism Initiatives

In line with other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is championing sustainable tourism as a means to promote off-season travel. The Vietnamese government, along with local authorities, is focusing on distributing tourism across different regions and encouraging travelers to visit destinations that are less frequented by tourists. Regions like SapaPhong Nha, and Hue are becoming focal points in the country’s efforts to encourage off-season tourism.

Vietnam’s push towards eco-friendly tourism aims to maintain its natural beauty and cultural heritage while minimizing the negative effects of tourism. As part of the push to maintain balance, local communities are being trained to offer unique experiences that showcase Vietnam’s traditional culture, handicrafts, and eco-tourism ventures. With fewer crowds and more sustainable options, visitors to Vietnam during the off-season are often rewarded with more intimate and authentic experiences.

The country is promoting destinations like the Central Highlands and Coastal regions that are typically not crowded with tourists during peak seasons. These areas are rich in culture and offer diverse landscapes for eco-tourism lovers. As a result, visitors are likely to encounter fewer tourists and enjoy more personalized travel experiences.

Vietnam’s off-season tourism efforts are designed to give back to local communities by providing economic opportunities that are not just tied to the high-season months.

The Importance of Off-Season Travel

Off-season travel has been identified as one of the most effective solutions to managing the pressures of overcrowding in popular tourist spots. By promoting travel during the quieter months, Southeast Asian countries are balancing tourism in a way that prevents harm to natural resources and cultural sites while providing economic benefits to local communities.

This initiative is more important than ever as the world faces challenges related to over-tourism. Off-season travel helps alleviate strain on infrastructure and reduces the carbon footprint of mass tourism, making it a critical component of sustainable travel.

Travelers benefit from lower prices, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed experience while helping spread the economic impact of tourism more equitably across the year. For countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, this approach is central to managing tourism in a way that enhances both the visitor experience and local life.

Conclusion

The year 2025 marks a turning point in the Southeast Asian tourism sector, with countries like ThailandMalaysia, and Vietnam taking proactive steps to combat the negative effects of overcrowding. By promoting off-season travel, these nations are leading the way in creating a more sustainable, balanced, and rewarding tourism experience. The off-season initiatives not only reduce pressure on popular attractions but also help boost the local economies year-round while protecting the rich cultural and natural heritage of the region.

Travelers looking to experience the best of Southeast Asia without the crowds should consider planning their trips during the quieter months. As these countries continue to innovate, we can expect to see even more exciting opportunities for off-season travel in the years to come.

Dive Into the Heart of Mexico’s Unforgettable Day of the Dead 2025 Festivities: Know More About it

Dive Into the Heart of Mexico’s Unforgettable Day of the Dead 2025 Festivities: Know More About it
Mexico’s

As October comes to a close, a wave of excitement and reverence sweeps across Mexico, heralding one of the nation’s most cherished and colorful traditions – Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This annual festival, celebrated on November 1 and 2, serves as a deep connection between the living and the departed. The holiday is not about mourning death but about celebrating life, remembering ancestors, and fostering a profound sense of community.

Across the country, families and communities prepare to honor their loved ones by setting up ofrendas (altars) in homes and cemeteries. These altars are adorned with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, traditional foods, and photographs, transforming homes and public spaces into sanctuaries of remembrance. The celebration is marked by the belief that the souls of the departed return to their families on these days, and the offerings laid out for them are a way to welcome them home.

In 2025, the Day of the Dead will not only attract thousands of Mexicans but also travelers from around the world who wish to witness and experience the richness of this cultural phenomenon.

The Essence of Día de los Muertos: Customs and Traditions

The Symbolism of the Ofrenda

At the core of the Day of the Dead celebrations are the ofrendas – altars dedicated to honoring the deceased. These altars can vary greatly depending on region, but they share common elements. Families prepare ofrendas at home or at the cemetery, where they decorate with symbolic items that represent the life of the deceased and their journey back to the world of the living. Some of the common offerings include:

  • Marigolds (Cempasúchil): The vivid orange flowers are believed to guide the spirits of the dead back to their families. The flowers are placed along the path to the altar and in the surrounding areas. Their strong scent and bright color are seen as a beacon for the souls returning to visit.
  • Candles: Lit candles symbolize the spirits’ journey back to the land of the living. The flickering flames help light the way for the departed, creating an atmosphere of both solemnity and celebration.
  • Sugar Skulls (Calaveras de Azúcar): These iconic decorations are often painted with bright colors and adorned with names, representing the joy and vibrancy of life. The sugar skull is not seen as something macabre but as a celebration of life itself.
  • Photographs and Personal Effects: Family photos, along with personal items, are often placed on the altar to remind the living of their loved ones. These personal touches create a connection to the deceased, keeping their memory alive in the hearts of their families.
  • Traditional Foods: Food plays an important role in the celebration, as it is believed to nourish the spirits of the dead during their brief visit to the living world. Some of the most popular foods offered include pan de muerto (a sweet bread shaped like a skull), tamales, atole (a warm, corn-based drink), and fruit such as oranges, which are often favored by spirits.

The Two Days of Día de los Muerto

The Day of the Dead spans two days, each with distinct significance and traditions:

  • November 1 – Día de los Angelitos: This day is dedicated to honoring deceased children, often referred to as “angelitos” (little angels). It is a more intimate day of reflection for families, as they remember and celebrate the lives of young ones who have passed. The altars for children are often adorned with toys, candy, and bright colors to create an atmosphere of joy and innocence.
  • November 2 – Día de los Muertos: This day honors adults who have passed away. The celebrations are often grander, with larger public gatherings and processions. On this day, people visit the graves of their loved ones, cleaning them and decorating them with flowers and candles. Traditional music and food are shared among families as they remember and celebrate the lives of their ancestors.

The heart of Mexico’s Día de los Muertos festivities is found in its capital, Mexico City. The grand Day of the Dead Parade, which began in 2016, is now one of the largest and most well-known events of the celebration. In 2025, the parade promises to be even grander, with massive floats, live music, dancers in traditional costumes, and a myriad of stunning skeletal figures. The parade will move along Paseo de la Reforma, showcasing Mexico’s vibrant culture through art, performance, and tradition.

Another key attraction in Mexico City is the Monumental Ofrenda in the Zócalo, the city’s main square. In 2025, the altar will pay homage to Mexico’s ancient Mesoamerican female deities such as Tonantzin, the earth goddess, and Ixmucané, the Mayan mother goddess. This tribute will combine indigenous traditions with modern artistic expression, showcasing Mexico’s deep cultural roots. The Zócalo Ofrenda will also be accompanied by free cultural activities and workshops for visitors of all ages.

Oaxaca: A Cultural Epicenter

Oaxaca, a region steeped in indigenous traditions, is one of the most culturally rich places to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Here, the streets and cemeteries come alive with vibrant altars, intricate sand tapestries, and paper cuttings (papel picado). Families gather in the cemeteries to spend the night, lighting candles and sharing food in honor of their departed loved ones.

In 2025, Oaxaca will feature its Guelaguetza Dance Festival, with performances dedicated to celebrating life and death through traditional indigenous music and dance. The Oaxaca International Day of the Dead Festival will also host workshops, exhibitions, and the popular Mesoamerican Ritual of the Dead, which offers an opportunity to learn about the origins of this ancient celebration.

Pátzcuaro, Michoacán: An Intimate Lakeside Celebration

In Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, the Day of the Dead takes on a more solemn tone, with families gathering around the beautiful Lake Pátzcuaro for candlelit vigils. The scene of glowing lights reflected on the water is a powerful image of reverence and remembrance. This tradition, which dates back centuries, remains one of the most famous and picturesque ways to celebrate Día de los Muertos.

The Isla de Janitzio, an island in the middle of Lake Pátzcuaro, holds special significance during this time. The island is home to a large community of indigenous Purépecha people, and their unique traditions and rituals have made the island a focal point for Day of the Dead celebrations. Families gather on the shores, while fishermen in canoes create stunning processions on the water, lighting the way for their loved ones’ spirits.

Northern Mexico and Coastal Regions: Celebrations with a Local Flair

In northern Mexico, states like Nuevo León and Chihuahua will host a variety of community gatherings and craft fairs where visitors can sample local foods, view art exhibitions, and learn more about the region’s Día de los Muertos customs. In coastal areas such as Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula, music festivals, traditional dance performances, and food festivals will offer visitors an immersive experience in the celebratory atmosphere of this unique tradition.

Day of the Dead Tourism: A Surge in Visitors

In 2025, it is expected that over 1.6 million visitors will flock to Mexico to experience the Day of the Dead festivities. According to government sources, tourism in Mexico surrounding Día de los Muertos is growing year after year, with international travelers making up a large portion of the visitors. The peak of tourism occurs during the last week of October and the first few days of November, with hotel occupancy rates reaching approximately 60.8% across major tourist destinations like Mexico City, Cancún, and the Riviera Maya.

Experiencing the Day of the Dead Firsthand

For travelers, participating in Mexico’s Day of the Dead celebrations offers a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. Whether you’re walking through the streets of Mexico City, exploring the altars in Oaxaca, or enjoying the serene lakeside vigils in Pátzcuaro, the Day of the Dead is an opportunity to witness the unity of community, culture, and family in Mexico.

A Powerful Expression of Identity and Legacy

The Day of the Dead is much more than just a holiday – it is a powerful reflection of Mexico’s cultural identity, resilience, and devotion to family. Through vibrant parades, intricate rituals, and community gatherings, Mexicans honor their ancestors, celebrate the beauty of life, and embrace the cyclical nature of existence. For those looking to experience a unique and deeply moving cultural celebration, Mexico’s Día de los Muertos offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant and meaningful traditions.

Discover the Fastest US Immigration Pathway Through EB-5 for Indians: Everything You Need to Know

Discover the Fastest US Immigration Pathway Through EB-5 for Indians: Everything You Need to Know
EB-5

For Indian citizens looking to make the U.S. their new home, the F-1 visa to Green Card pathway through the EB-5 program has become one of the fastest and most reliable options. As the demand for U.S. residency continues to rise, EB-5 offers an expedited route, especially for those already in the U.S. under an F-1 student visa. With the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) introducing streamlined procedures and clearer guidelines, this investment visa has gained prominence, becoming an essential choice for individuals and families aiming to achieve U.S. residency.

Vivek Tandon, the CEO and founder of EB5 BRICS, is leading the way in providing strategic support to families seeking a smooth transition from an F-1 visa to a Green Card through the EB-5 program. In an upcoming multi-city investor immigration tour, he aims to educate and guide families across Asia and the Middle East about the opportunities and benefits the EB-5 visa offers.

The EB-5 Visa Program: A Gateway to U.S. Green Card Status

What is the EB-5 Visa?

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides foreign investors and their families the opportunity to obtain U.S. Green Cards. To qualify, applicants must invest in a U.S.-based business, creating or preserving at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The minimum investment required typically starts at $1 million, or $500,000 if the investment is in a targeted employment area (TEA), such as rural areas or those with high unemployment.

In addition to meeting the investment requirements, applicants must prove the legal source of their funds and meet various documentation standards as stipulated by the USCIS. The program’s appeal lies in its ability to fast-track permanent residency, especially for high-net-worth individuals seeking opportunities in the U.S. or their children pursuing education and careers in the country.

F-1 Visa to Green Card: A Strategic Move

For students in the U.S. on an F-1 visa, transitioning to a Green Card can be a lengthy and complex process. However, the EB-5 visa provides an alternative route that is both efficient and predictable. By investing in qualifying businesses, F-1 visa holders can apply for a Green Card, bypassing many of the hurdles typically associated with family-based or employment-based immigration.

Through the EB-5 program, students and their families can secure permanent residency while enjoying the benefits of living and working in the U.S. It’s particularly attractive as it avoids the uncertainties and waiting times of traditional Green Card categories. Plus, the program includes the applicant’s immediate family (spouse and children under 21), making it an ideal option for those seeking long-term immigration solutions.

Vivek Tandon’s Multi-City EB-5 Immigration Tour

Key Details of the Tour

Starting in Dubai, the multi-city investor immigration tour will visit ten cities in four countries from October 28 to November 20, 2025. The cities include major hubs in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, where there’s significant interest in the U.S. immigration process.

  • Dubai (October 26 to 28)
  • Mumbai (October 29 to 31)
  • Pune (November 1)
  • Bangalore (November 2 to 3)
  • Hyderabad (November 4)
  • Chennai (November 5)
  • Delhi (November 6 to 10)
  • Singapore (November 12 to 13)
  • Mumbai (November 14 to 16)
  • Hong Kong (November 17 to 18)

The events are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the EB-5 process, including investment opportunities, the source-of-funds documentation, petition strategy, and how to prepare for the 2026 EB-5 filings.

Educational Support and Legal Guidance

The tour will feature private consultations, where families can receive personalized guidance on navigating the EB-5 program. Legal expert Rohit Turkhud, a partner at CSG Law, will join Vivek Tandon to provide comprehensive legal support, ensuring that every aspect of the immigration process is understood and executed correctly.

Rohit Turkhud, with decades of experience in EB-5 immigration law, will focus on petition strategy and ensuring that families understand the evolving USCIS guidelines. His expertise, combined with Vivek Tandon’s strategic approach to EB-5 investments, makes this tour a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in securing U.S. residency.

The Importance of Legal and Financial Clarity in EB-5

Understanding the Complexities of the EB-5 Process

The EB-5 program is often viewed as a complicated process, particularly when it comes to ensuring that all legal and financial documentation is in order. This is where the combination of Vivek Tandon’s strategic investment insight and Rohit Turkhud’s legal expertise becomes invaluable.

Families considering the EB-5 route need to carefully assess their financial capacity, understand the legal requirements of U.S. immigration law, and evaluate the available investment projects. It’s important to ensure that the investment is not only profitable but also complies with all legal standards.

During the tour, Tandon and Turkhud will cover critical topics such as:

  • Source of Funds Documentation: One of the most important aspects of the EB-5 process is proving the legal origin of the investment funds. This includes showing that the money used for the investment was legally obtained, a requirement that many first-time applicants find challenging.
  • Investment Evaluation: Tandon and Turkhud will guide families in evaluating investment projects to ensure they are sound, secure, and eligible under the EB-5 guidelines.
  • Petition Preparation: They will also assist in petition readiness, providing families with a roadmap to ensure their petitions are prepared and filed correctly.

Why Attend the EB-5 Tour?

For those interested in securing U.S. residency through the EB-5 program, the upcoming tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to receive expert advice, clear guidance, and insights on how to make the transition as smooth as possible. The tailored nature of the consultations ensures that each family’s unique needs and concerns are addressed, making the process more manageable.

A Fast-Track to U.S. Residency

The EB-5 program is rapidly becoming one of the most popular and efficient routes to obtaining a U.S. Green Card. By offering fast-tracked residency for families through strategic investments, the program provides a clear path to permanent U.S. residency, especially for those already in the country on an F-1 visa. Vivek Tandon’s leadership in the EB-5 industry, alongside the legal expertise of Rohit Turkhud, ensures that families across Asia and the Middle East can confidently navigate the complexities of the program.

As interest in U.S. immigration through investment continues to grow, the upcoming multi-city tour presents an invaluable opportunity for Indian families, as well as those in the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, and beyond, to explore this promising immigration route. For more information or to schedule a consultation, reach out to Vivek Tandon and begin the journey toward U.S. residency.

Brentford Breeze Past Grimsby to Reach League Cup Quarter-Finals Again

29 October 2025 at 02:31

Brentford continued their impressive run of form with a dominant 5-0 win over Grimsby Town, marching into the League Cup quarter-finals for the second consecutive season. It was another confident performance from Keith Andrews’ men, who look to be finding their stride after a shaky start to the campaign, Softfootball reports.

The result also builds on Brentford’s recent momentum coming off a famous 3-2 Premier League win over Liverpool, the Bees have now won three of their last five games in all competitions.

For Grimsby, who had stunned Manchester United earlier in the competition and claimed wins from each of England’s top three divisions on their magical run, this was a step too far. Despite a lively start in front of a packed Blundell Park, the League Two side were simply outclassed once Brentford settled into gear.

The hosts began brightly, with Charles Vernam and Evan Khouri both flashing half-chances early on. But once Brentford found their rhythm, there was no turning back. The breakthrough came midway through the first half when Grimsby tried to play out from the back. Keane Lewis-Potter pounced on a loose pass from Harvey Rodgers before Mathias Jensen curled a stunning strike past Christy Pym from the edge of the area to make it 1-0.

Just four minutes later, Brentford doubled their advantage in ruthless fashion. A swift counter-attack saw Reiss Nelson deliver a delightful chipped cross, which Lewis-Potter nodded home at the back post. The Premier League side were cruising now, and as the half-hour mark approached, Dango Ouattara came inches away from adding a third after great work from Rico Henry down the right flank.

The third goal eventually arrived three minutes before the break and it was pure class. Some beautiful interplay between Brentford’s front line found Reiss Nelson in space, and the winger made no mistake, bending the ball into the far corner to put the result beyond doubt before half-time.

If Grimsby had any hope of a comeback, it vanished soon after the restart. Fábio Carvalho was tripped in the box after another flowing team move, and the midfielder picked himself up to slot home the resulting penalty to make it 4-0.

Despite their best efforts, Grimsby never really threatened a response. They battled admirably to the end, but Brentford’s quality and depth proved overwhelming. The Bees even found time for a fifth goal in the closing stages, as Nathan Collins rose highest to head home from a well-worked corner.

After the game, Brentford posted via its official X handle, the players appreciating and thanking the fans for their support after a five star performance from the team. They posted:

It was a night that showcased Brentford’s growing confidence under Andrews a far cry from their early-season inconsistency. With three wins in their last five outings and a place in the last eight of the League Cup secured, the Bees’ momentum is building nicely as they eye a strong run on all fronts this season.

Virtual reality training improves the body’s ability to regulate stress

29 October 2025 at 02:00

A new study has demonstrated that a virtual reality game can successfully teach people a breathing technique to regulate their physiological stress responses. This training led to improved biological markers of stress regulation during a tense virtual experience, suggesting such games could be a practical way to practice stress management skills. The research was published in the journal Psychophysiology.

While physiological regulation strategies like paced breathing are known to be effective, they are typically learned and practiced in calm, controlled environments. This setting is very different from the high-stress situations where such techniques are most needed, which may make it difficult for people to apply their training in real life. The study authors proposed that virtual reality could offer a unique solution by providing an immersive platform to both teach a regulation skill and then immediately create a stressful context in which to practice it.

The project involved two separate studies. The first study was designed as a proof of concept to see if the approach was feasible. Researchers recruited healthy adult participants and first recorded their baseline heart rate, heart rate variability, and breathing rate while they sat quietly. Heart rate variability is a measure of the variation in time between consecutive heartbeats, with higher variability often indicating better physiological regulation and a greater capacity to cope with stress.

Following the baseline recording, participants put on a virtual reality headset and played a training game. In this game, they found themselves on a boat in a calm sea and were guided through a slow, paced breathing exercise. On-screen prompts instructed them to inhale for five seconds, hold for five seconds, and exhale for five seconds, with the goal of achieving a slow breathing rate of four breaths per minute. Immediately after this training, they were immersed in a stressful game set in a dark dungeon. The objective was to avoid being detected by a creature that could supposedly hear their heartbeats.

A biofeedback display, visible at all times, showed participants a simplified “stress score” based on their heart rate. A green light indicated they were safe, while amber and red lights signaled increasing danger of being discovered. To succeed, participants had to use the breathing technique they had just learned to keep their heart rate down.

The study found that participants were able to apply the breathing technique effectively. Their breathing rate during the stressful dungeon game was significantly lower than their initial resting rate, showing they were following the training. Although their heart rate naturally increased from the stress of the game, their heart rate variability also increased compared to their baseline levels. This suggested an enhanced state of physiological regulation, likely driven by the controlled breathing.

The second study was designed to more formally test the effectiveness of the training by comparing a trained group to an untrained control group. Both groups attended two sessions, separated by about a week. In the first session, all participants experienced an initial stressful virtual reality scenario involving an intruder in a house. This was done to establish a baseline measure of each person’s stress reactivity. After this initial stressor, only the training group played the boat game twice to learn the breathing technique.

When they returned for the second session, the training group received a refresher by playing the boat game two more times. Then, both the trained and untrained groups played the same stressful dungeon game from the first study. The results showed a clear effect of the training. During the dungeon game, the trained group had a significantly lower breathing rate and a significantly higher heart rate variability compared to the untrained control group.

When the researchers compared physiological responses across the two different stressors, they found a notable interaction. The trained group showed a significant improvement in their heart rate variability from the pre-training “intruder” stressor to the post-training “dungeon” stressor. This pattern of improvement was not observed in the control group, providing stronger evidence that the breathing training was responsible for the effect.

An unexpected observation was that participants in the trained group reported feeling subjectively more stressed than the control group. The authors speculate this could be related to a sense of performance anxiety, as the trained group was aware their application of the technique was being evaluated.

The researchers acknowledged some limitations in their work. The first study was affected by technical issues with the respiratory measurement equipment, which led to the loss of some data. Additionally, a minor coding error in the training game meant that the boat’s speed was incorrectly linked to heart rate, though the authors believe this was unlikely to have affected the learning of the breathing pattern.

Future research could explore the surprising finding that physiological regulation did not align with subjective feelings of stress. It may also examine whether skills learned in an unrealistic game scenario can be generalized to manage stress in real-world situations.

The study, “Using a virtual reality game to train biofeedback-based regulation under stress conditions,” was authored by Lucie Daniel-Watanabe, Benjamin Cook, Grace Leung, Marino Krstulović, Johanna Finnemann, Toby Woolley, Craig Powell, and Paul Fletcher.

Video: Evra derides ‘soft’ Juventus players and sees Manchester United comparisons

29 October 2025 at 03:10

Patrice Evra released a video attacking Juventus players as ‘soft’ and seeing comparisons between Igor Tudor’s sacking and when David Moyes was fired by Manchester United.

The former Bianconeri hero is a regular on social media and put out his statement on Instagram after the surprising dismissal of coach Tudor, just 11 competitive games into the new season.

Evra has message for Juventus players

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Patrice Evra (@patrice.evra)

“Dear Juventini, I saw some messages from people saying they want me as a director or a coach, but I retired four years ago and won’t go back into football. This is because I would have to sacrifice everything for football, and I am enjoying myself too much right now. I am a happy man and therefore I will be selfish about it,” said Evra.

“I just want to go back on the sacking of Tudor. Thank you coach for everything. This is a message for the players.

“When they fire the coach, it means you haven’t done your job on the field. It only happened to me once in my whole career, when I was at Manchester United and they sacked David Moyes. I felt like s**t, and I hope the players right now at Juventus feel the same way, because they’ve gone through three or four coaches in a couple of years now.

“You are at Juve, you have to take responsibility. The problem is this doesn’t work on the new generation, it is a soft generation. So all the commentators and pundits who are ex-players are wasting their time talking to them.

“We were football players, we played for passion, for the shirt, for history, to put food in the mouths of our families.

“This generation are athletes more than players. They are brands, they are rappers, fashionistas, get involved in politics. There are too many distractions.

“This is why I am not harsh on them, as we didn’t have those distractions. We would eat, sleep, play football, that’s it. The world has changed, not just football.

“Juve have changed completely, we have lost the real values. I remember my first game with Andrea Agnelli, I was happy to see the history everywhere, we had Pavel Nedved, Platini, others.

“One day I will return to football, but not now. I am just saying this because when you play for Juve, you have to sacrifice everything, including your family.

“The best league I won in my whole life was with Max Allegri in 2014-15, I think we were 13th in the league, lost to Sassuolo, many players wanted to get rid of Max, but I saw the same thing at United when they tried to suggest Moyes was the only reason they were losing.

“Remove the coach, now there is no excuse. If you don’t want to stay there at Juve, then leave. You are too soft.”

Lookman cryptic comment on being happy with Atalanta after summer drama

29 October 2025 at 02:36

Ademola Lookman made some rather cryptic comments when asked if he was finally happy with Atalanta, while Mario Pasalic relished facing Luka Modric in a Milan shirt.

It was a relatively even match in Bergamo this evening, continuing the unbeaten streak for both sides, but also lacking in victories.

La Dea have now drawn five on the bounce in Serie A, while it was the second stalemate for the Rossoneri, who were held 2-2 by Pisa on Friday evening.

Samuele Ricci had opened the scoring, but it was cancelled out by the first goal Lookman has scored for Atalanta since his failed attempt to force an Inter transfer in the summer.

Lookman still not ready to say he’s happy with Atalanta

“It’s important to be available for the team, to help the team,” Lookman told DAZN Italia.

“I’ve not been able to find form yet, physically or in front of goal, but I’ll get there eventually and this was a step forward in the right direction. Hopefully in the coming games we’ll be able to get some wins.”

Although Lookman has made it abundantly clear he does not want to talk about the past or what happened in recent months, he was asked if this was the night that finally made him happy to be with Atalanta.

His response was somewhat cryptic and suggested the rapport with the club behind the scenes remains tense.

“I think that when I’m on the pitch, the most important thing is to try to help the team win. We want to keep climbing up the table and that’s the most important thing, to win football games.”

His goal celebration was at best muted, showing little excitement or emotion as his teammates crowded around him.

Pasalic was in the starting XI this evening in a more advanced trequartista role supporting the two strikers, Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, and took the captain’s armband when Marten de Roon went off with an adductor issue.

“We played our game, as we have done largely this season other than the first half against Cremonese. We attacked, pressed high, unfortunately we can’t seem to get this win that would be the turning point,” Pasalic told DAZN Italia.

“We are creating chances, but to win we need to be more concrete upfront.”

This is a new era under Ivan Juric after nine years of Gian Piero Gasperini, although they are aided by the fact Gasp was Juric’s mentor.

“I already knew the way the coach played, and those of us who have been here many years were already accustomed to this type of tactical work. He is asking for some different things and we are getting there.”

Tonight was an extra pleasure for Croatia international Pasalic, who got to face legend Modric, and even got the veteran booked for a shirt tug.

“It is always a joy to play against a star like Modric, few can play like this at age 40.”

Juric: ‘Atalanta dominated AC Milan, had triple the intensity levels’

29 October 2025 at 02:24

Ivan Juric believes Atalanta ‘had triple the intensity of Milan and dominated throughout,’ so were left with more regrets after yet another stalemate.

Samuele Ricci had given Milan the early lead in Bergamo with a deflected strike, until Ademola Lookman blasted into the roof of the net for his first goal since the summer transfer drama.

Davide Zappacosta had the best opportunity to win the game late on, his effort denied by a flying Mike Maignan fingertip save.

“I think Atalanta had triple the intensity of Milan. We dominated throughout, they had one shot early on and aside from a 10-minute spell in the second half, there was only one team trying to win the game,” Juric told DAZN Italia.

“The lads once again put in a great performance, I’ve never seen the wrong attitude from this team and they deserve more points, but if we keep going like this, then the results will arrive.”

The problem is evidently converting chances, because once again Atalanta had 17 shots on goal, but only scored once.

“I think we did very well both winning the ball back and creating chances in transition, but also keeping calm moving the ball around when inevitably Allegri’s teams sit deep. It’s really disappointing we aren’t picking up more points, because we deserve them.

“I remain convinced we will break through and get those results.”

Juric had said in the build-up to this game that Atalanta would’ve been in a better position if Lookman had been able to go through a normal pre-season, as he is only now getting back to full fitness.

“I think we pushed him to play more than perhaps he should’ve done in these games because we wanted him to achieve match fitness,” explained the coach.

“He is a particular type of guy, but in training and on the pitch, he is a sight to behold, just a spectacular player. A winner, with incredible determination, and I am very happy for him. We were only talking yesterday he said if he trains like this, the goal will come, and today he scored a great goal.”

There was a setback in the opening stages too, as captain Marten de Roon limped off with a muscular issue, replaced by Marco Brescianini.

La Dea extended their unbeaten record for the season to the opening nine rounds, but only two of those were victories, as this was their fifth consecutive stalemate.

“We almost have everyone back now, so the team is becoming really competitive. We dominated games against Lazio and Milan, but didn’t win for various reasons, so hopefully we can become more clinical in attack and with these characteristics I am certain we will do well.”

Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic were left on the bench throughout, so was that a tactical decision or based on fitness?

“It was a technical decision based on what I saw in training,” replied Juric.

Allegri explanation on Leao and Gimenez as Milan ‘need more belief’

29 October 2025 at 02:12

Max Allegri reveals why he took Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez off against Atalanta, insisting Milan ‘need to have more belief in what we are doing’ in attack.

The Rossoneri had been hoping to close back up to the top spot after losing it with last week’s 2-2 draw against Pisa.

Instead, they have fallen further behind with another stalemate, as Samuele Ricci saw his early deflected strike cancelled out by an Ademola Lookman moment of magic.

La Dea had the best chance to win it, with Mike Maignan’s fingertip save denying Davide Zappacosta late on.

Allegri sees positive aspects of Milan draw

“We have a few absentees, but the team is reacting well,” Allegri told DAZN Italia.

“We were forced to defend ourselves in the first half after the goal because we were making a lot of technical errors, while we did better after the break, creating chances and making the wrong choices in the final third. That is where we must improve, the team needs to have more belief in what it is doing.

“Atalanta could not continue keeping that high press throughout and we knew they’d run out of steam, but in those moments we needed to improve our finishing and our choices in the final third.

“The goal we conceded was avoidable too on the through ball, but the team must be proud of its performance and prepare for the next match against Roma.”

Some decisions prompted concerns, as Rafael Leao was replaced by Christopher Nkunku at half-time, then Santiago Gimenez limped off with an ankle knock.

They have limited options now, with Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan and Ardon Jashari injured, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek made his comeback off the bench.

“Leao had a little problem with his hip, he wasn’t in great shape at the end of the first half, so the team needed fresh legs and Rafa was struggling to sprint, so I preferred to take him off,” explained Allegri.

“Gimenez just had a knock, it shouldn’t be particularly serious for Leao either, and hopefully we’ll have Estupinan back against Roma too. I hope that after the break for international duty, we’ll have everyone back and fit, but until then we’ve got to grit our teeth.”

If Rafael Leao is not delivering, then Milan struggle to have any real presence in the opposition penalty area.

“Nkunku did very well as a centre-forward and Atalanta dropped off, while Loftus-Cheek had 20 extraordinary minutes, but it is during those positive spells we need to score goals. We had favourable situations in the second half and only allowed the one real chance when we gave the ball away,” insisted Allegri.

“Gimenez worked hard for the team, he needs to relax, the goals will come sooner or later.”

“The feeling I have is…”: Mikel Arteta opens up on the future of Arsenal attacker

29 October 2025 at 02:31

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that Max Dowman has a long-term future at the club, and the player and his family are happy with his progress so far.

Dowman is regarded as one of the finest young attacking talents in the Premier League, and he has been linked with an exit in recent months.

However, Arsenal have no plans to let him leave anytime soon. He has all the tools to develop an important player for the club with the right guidance. Even though he has not had ample opportunities so far, he is still quite young, and he will adapt to the Premier League eventually.

Dowman has a bright future ahead of himself and has revealed that the player is improving every day. The Arsenal manager also added that Dowman has been excellent in training for the Gunners.

Arteta on Max Dowman

Arteta said during the pre-match presser ahead of the Brighton clash: “We look at his passport every day. We watch in training, and you have to play him; otherwise, I’m blind. He’s coped really well. It’s what we want (Dowman’s long-term future at the club) and what he wants. The feeling I have is that he loves it here. Huge Arsenal supporter and his family are happy.”

Dowman will look to play more often

It will be interesting to see if he can convince the manager to give him more opportunities in the coming months. Arsenal could certainly use more cutting-edge in the final third, and Dowman has shown that he can add pace, flair, and unpredictability going forward.

He will look to establish himself as an important first-team player in the coming seasons.

Arsenal fans will be delighted to hear that the club is looking to keep one of their best young talents at the club for as long as possible. They will hope that he can fulfil his potential with the Londoners.

Report: Liverpool prepared to pay over £100 million for “the next big thing”

29 October 2025 at 02:24

Liverpool are reportedly interested in improving their attacking unit with the signing of Yankuba Minteh from Brighton.

The 21-year-old has done quite well since joining the Seagulls, and he is impressing in the Premier League with his technical ability and flair. He has been described as “the next big thing”.

Liverpool could use Yankuba Minteh

Liverpool could use more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Minteh would be an exceptional acquisition. They have missed someone who can take on defenders and create opportunities out of nothing. The departure of Luis Diaz has left Liverpool more predictable going forward.

They need a quality dribbler, and Minteh could be tailor-made for them. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for him as well. It would be a major step up in his career. Minteh has one goal and two assists in the league this season.

Liverpool ready to pay up for Minteh

According to a report from FootAfrica, Liverpool are prepared to pay over £100 million in order to get the deal done. They have recently spent a similar amount of money on Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.

It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to break the bank once again. There is no doubt that the Gambian is an exceptional young talent. He has the quality to develop into a top-class  Premier League attacker. Liverpool could nurture him into a future star. Minteh has played under Arne Slot at Feyenoord, and both parties could be keen on a reunion.

Despite signing quality players this summer, Liverpool have had a disappointing start to the season. They need to bounce back strongly, and the 21-year-old could certainly help them improve in future.

It seems unlikely that Brighton will sanction his departure anytime soon. They will want to keep him at the club for now. Liverpool might have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to get the deal done. Manchester United and Arsenal are keen on Minteh as well.

Liverpool transfer news: Transfer insider drops big Mohamed Salah update amid recent struggles

29 October 2025 at 02:22

Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly preparing another offer for Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah at the end of the current season.

The Egyptian King, a global icon and the most famous Arab footballer in the world, has long been a top target for the rapidly growing Saudi Pro League, with interest intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches.

Saudi Pro League wants to sign Mohamed Salah

Despite Salah signing a new contract extension with Liverpool until 2027, the interest from the Middle East remains incredibly strong.

According to transfer insider Indy Kaila, Saudis want to sign Salah in the summer.

Saudi Arabia ?? want @MoSalah in the summer.

— indykaila News (@indykaila) October 28, 2025

An initial, massive offer worth around £200m was rejected by Liverpool previously, but the interest very much remains.

Mohamed Salah’s incredible Liverpool legacy

Salah is currently going through his worst form in a Liverpool shirt, and he still has 7 goal contributions in 13 appearances across all competitions. That stat is enough to showcase Salah’s brilliance.

Since arriving, the Egyptian has been a revelation, consistently performing season in season out.

Salah’s consistent brilliance makes him an irresistible target. His 2024/2025 season was statistically one of his best, where he was a clear contender for top individual honours.

The attacker registered an astonishing 47 goal contributions (29 goals and 18 assists) in the Premier League alone, a stunning haul that cemented his status as one of the world’s elite forwards.

Across his eight seasons at Anfield, he has amassed over 240 goals and 100 assists, an unparalleled record that proves he remains operating at the very peak of the game.

Season Appearances  Goals Assists

TOTAL 414 249 116
Mohamed Salah’s stats for Liverpool season wise via Transfermarkt

How Mo Salah would become the face of Saudi Pro League

Should Salah leave for Saudi Pro League, his arrival would be a massive event for the SPL.

While the league already boasts major names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Salah holds a unique position.

As a superstar Arab and Muslim athlete, he transcends football, carrying immense cultural weight across the region.

His image could become the ultimate marketing tool, driving unparalleled viewer interest, shirt sales, and global media attention, effectively crowning him the undisputed face of the Saudi Pro League and accelerating the kingdom’s ambitious sports project.

Salah might also be tempted to move this time after the recent dip in form this season under Arne Slot where he has looked out of place.

Is this going to be his final season at Anfield?

Why is the Crypto Market Down Today?

29 October 2025 at 02:33
Why Bitcoin Price is Down Today_ Real Reason Behind the $770B Crypto Liquidation

The post Why is the Crypto Market Down Today? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The crypto market cap dropped by over 1% to hover around $3.9 trillion on Tuesday, October 28, during the late North American session. Bitcoin (BTC) price led the wider altcoin market in bearish sentiment, having dropped to a local low of about $112,412. 

Ethereum (ETH) price slipped over 3% during the past 24 hours to trade at about $3,946 at press time. Nonetheless, the fear of further crypto capitalization has gradually declined as traders await high-impact news from the United States.

Main Reason Why Crypto is Down Today?

Midterm Uncertainty Caused by Wednesday’s Fed Rate Cut 

The crypto market experienced higher volatility during the past 24 hours ahead of the upcoming FOMC data. The Fed rate jitters have sent shockwaves to the crypto market amid rising calls for an altseason 2025.

Nonetheless, crypto traders are expecting the bullish outlook to return amid anticipated Fed rate cuts and the onset of Quantitative Easing (QE). Furthermore, the ongoing capital rotation from Gold to Bitcoin will be bolstered by notable cash printing from the Federal Reserve, with experts predicting $1.5 trillion in the near term.

Sell the News Impact After Altcoins ETFs

The wider cryptocurrency market experienced a slight drop following news that spot altcoin ETFs are now live, amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. The altcoin ETF hype is gradually getting factored in, as traders await QE and Fed rate cuts.

Longsqueeze Impact Caused by High Liquidations 

The crypto market recorded a notable decline on Tuesday, fueled by heavy liquidation of long traders. According to market data from CoinGlass, out of the $567 million liquidated from crypto traders during the past 24 hours, more than $409 million involved long traders.

IBM's open source Granite 4.0 Nano AI models are small enough to run locally directly in your browser

In an industry where model size is often seen as a proxy for intelligence, IBM is charting a different course — one that values efficiency over enormity, and accessibility over abstraction.

The 114-year-old tech giant's four new Granite 4.0 Nano models, released today, range from just 350 million to 1.5 billion parameters, a fraction of the size of their server-bound cousins from the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

These models are designed to be highly accessible: the 350M variants can run comfortably on a modern laptop CPU with 8–16GB of RAM, while the 1.5B models typically require a GPU with at least 6–8GB of VRAM for smooth performance — or sufficient system RAM and swap for CPU-only inference. This makes them well-suited for developers building applications on consumer hardware or at the edge, without relying on cloud compute.

In fact, the smallest ones can even run locally on your own web browser, as Joshua Lochner aka Xenova, creator of Transformer.js and a machine learning engineer at Hugging Face, wrote on the social network X.

All the Granite 4.0 Nano models are released under the Apache 2.0 license — perfect for use by researchers and enterprise or indie developers, even for commercial usage.

They are natively compatible with llama.cpp, vLLM, and MLX and are certified under ISO 42001 for responsible AI development — a standard IBM helped pioneer.

But in this case, small doesn't mean less capable — it might just mean smarter design.

These compact models are built not for data centers, but for edge devices, laptops, and local inference, where compute is scarce and latency matters.

And despite their small size, the Nano models are showing benchmark results that rival or even exceed the performance of larger models in the same category.

The release is a signal that a new AI frontier is rapidly forming — one not dominated by sheer scale, but by strategic scaling.

What Exactly Did IBM Release?

The Granite 4.0 Nano family includes four open-source models now available on Hugging Face:

  • Granite-4.0-H-1B (~1.5B parameters) – Hybrid-SSM architecture

  • Granite-4.0-H-350M (~350M parameters) – Hybrid-SSM architecture

  • Granite-4.0-1B – Transformer-based variant, parameter count closer to 2B

  • Granite-4.0-350M – Transformer-based variant

The H-series models — Granite-4.0-H-1B and H-350M — use a hybrid state space architecture (SSM) that combines efficiency with strong performance, ideal for low-latency edge environments.

Meanwhile, the standard transformer variants — Granite-4.0-1B and 350M — offer broader compatibility with tools like llama.cpp, designed for use cases where hybrid architecture isn’t yet supported.

In practice, the transformer 1B model is closer to 2B parameters, but aligns performance-wise with its hybrid sibling, offering developers flexibility based on their runtime constraints.

“The hybrid variant is a true 1B model. However, the non-hybrid variant is closer to 2B, but we opted to keep the naming aligned to the hybrid variant to make the connection easily visible,” explained Emma, Product Marketing lead for Granite, during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) session on r/LocalLLaMA.

A Competitive Class of Small Models

IBM is entering a crowded and rapidly evolving market of small language models (SLMs), competing with offerings like Qwen3, Google's Gemma, LiquidAI’s LFM2, and even Mistral’s dense models in the sub-2B parameter space.

While OpenAI and Anthropic focus on models that require clusters of GPUs and sophisticated inference optimization, IBM’s Nano family is aimed squarely at developers who want to run performant LLMs on local or constrained hardware.

In benchmark testing, IBM’s new models consistently top the charts in their class. According to data shared on X by David Cox, VP of AI Models at IBM Research:

  • On IFEval (instruction following), Granite-4.0-H-1B scored 78.5, outperforming Qwen3-1.7B (73.1) and other 1–2B models.

  • On BFCLv3 (function/tool calling), Granite-4.0-1B led with a score of 54.8, the highest in its size class.

  • On safety benchmarks (SALAD and AttaQ), the Granite models scored over 90%, surpassing similarly sized competitors.

Overall, the Granite-4.0-1B achieved a leading average benchmark score of 68.3% across general knowledge, math, code, and safety domains.

This performance is especially significant given the hardware constraints these models are designed for.

They require less memory, run faster on CPUs or mobile devices, and don’t need cloud infrastructure or GPU acceleration to deliver usable results.

Why Model Size Still Matters — But Not Like It Used To

In the early wave of LLMs, bigger meant better — more parameters translated to better generalization, deeper reasoning, and richer output.

But as transformer research matured, it became clear that architecture, training quality, and task-specific tuning could allow smaller models to punch well above their weight class.

IBM is banking on this evolution. By releasing open, small models that are competitive in real-world tasks, the company is offering an alternative to the monolithic AI APIs that dominate today’s application stack.

In fact, the Nano models address three increasingly important needs:

  1. Deployment flexibility — they run anywhere, from mobile to microservers.

  2. Inference privacy — users can keep data local with no need to call out to cloud APIs.

  3. Openness and auditability — source code and model weights are publicly available under an open license.

Community Response and Roadmap Signals

IBM’s Granite team didn’t just launch the models and walk away — they took to Reddit’s open source community r/LocalLLaMA to engage directly with developers.

In an AMA-style thread, Emma (Product Marketing, Granite) answered technical questions, addressed concerns about naming conventions, and dropped hints about what’s next.

Notable confirmations from the thread:

  • A larger Granite 4.0 model is currently in training

  • Reasoning-focused models ("thinking counterparts") are in the pipeline

  • IBM will release fine-tuning recipes and a full training paper soon

  • More tooling and platform compatibility is on the roadmap

Users responded enthusiastically to the models’ capabilities, especially in instruction-following and structured response tasks. One commenter summed it up:

“This is big if true for a 1B model — if quality is nice and it gives consistent outputs. Function-calling tasks, multilingual dialog, FIM completions… this could be a real workhorse.”

Another user remarked:

“The Granite Tiny is already my go-to for web search in LM Studio — better than some Qwen models. Tempted to give Nano a shot.”

Background: IBM Granite and the Enterprise AI Race

IBM’s push into large language models began in earnest in late 2023 with the debut of the Granite foundation model family, starting with models like Granite.13b.instruct and Granite.13b.chat. Released for use within its Watsonx platform, these initial decoder-only models signaled IBM’s ambition to build enterprise-grade AI systems that prioritize transparency, efficiency, and performance. The company open-sourced select Granite code models under the Apache 2.0 license in mid-2024, laying the groundwork for broader adoption and developer experimentation.

The real inflection point came with Granite 3.0 in October 2024 — a fully open-source suite of general-purpose and domain-specialized models ranging from 1B to 8B parameters. These models emphasized efficiency over brute scale, offering capabilities like longer context windows, instruction tuning, and integrated guardrails. IBM positioned Granite 3.0 as a direct competitor to Meta’s Llama, Alibaba’s Qwen, and Google's Gemma — but with a uniquely enterprise-first lens. Later versions, including Granite 3.1 and Granite 3.2, introduced even more enterprise-friendly innovations: embedded hallucination detection, time-series forecasting, document vision models, and conditional reasoning toggles.

The Granite 4.0 family, launched in October 2025, represents IBM’s most technically ambitious release yet. It introduces a hybrid architecture that blends transformer and Mamba-2 layers — aiming to combine the contextual precision of attention mechanisms with the memory efficiency of state-space models. This design allows IBM to significantly reduce memory and latency costs for inference, making Granite models viable on smaller hardware while still outperforming peers in instruction-following and function-calling tasks. The launch also includes ISO 42001 certification, cryptographic model signing, and distribution across platforms like Hugging Face, Docker, LM Studio, Ollama, and watsonx.ai.

Across all iterations, IBM’s focus has been clear: build trustworthy, efficient, and legally unambiguous AI models for enterprise use cases. With a permissive Apache 2.0 license, public benchmarks, and an emphasis on governance, the Granite initiative not only responds to rising concerns over proprietary black-box models but also offers a Western-aligned open alternative to the rapid progress from teams like Alibaba’s Qwen. In doing so, Granite positions IBM as a leading voice in what may be the next phase of open-weight, production-ready AI.

A Shift Toward Scalable Efficiency

In the end, IBM’s release of Granite 4.0 Nano models reflects a strategic shift in LLM development: from chasing parameter count records to optimizing usability, openness, and deployment reach.

By combining competitive performance, responsible development practices, and deep engagement with the open-source community, IBM is positioning Granite as not just a family of models — but a platform for building the next generation of lightweight, trustworthy AI systems.

For developers and researchers looking for performance without overhead, the Nano release offers a compelling signal: you don’t need 70 billion parameters to build something powerful — just the right ones.

Microsoft’s Copilot can now build apps and automate your job — here’s how it works

Microsoft is launching a significant expansion of its Copilot AI assistant on Tuesday, introducing tools that let employees build applications, automate workflows, and create specialized AI agents using only conversational prompts — no coding required.

The new capabilities, called App Builder and Workflows, mark Microsoft's most aggressive attempt yet to merge artificial intelligence with software development, enabling the estimated 100 million Microsoft 365 users to create business tools as easily as they currently draft emails or build spreadsheets.

"We really believe that a main part of an AI-forward employee, not just developers, will be to create agents, workflows and apps," Charles Lamanna, Microsoft's president of business and industry Copilot, said in an interview with VentureBeat. "Part of the job will be to build and create these things."

The announcement comes as Microsoft deepens its commitment to AI-powered productivity tools while navigating a complex partnership with OpenAI, the creator of the underlying technology that powers Copilot. On the same day, OpenAI completed its restructuring into a for-profit entity, with Microsoft receiving a 27% ownership stake valued at approximately $135 billion.

How natural language prompts now create fully functional business applications

The new features transform Copilot from a conversational assistant into what Microsoft envisions as a comprehensive development environment accessible to non-technical workers. Users can now describe an application they need — such as a project tracker with dashboards and task assignments — and Copilot will generate a working app complete with a database backend, user interface, and security controls.

"If you're right inside of Copilot, you can now have a conversation to build an application complete with a backing database and a security model," Lamanna explained. "You can make edit requests and update requests and change requests so you can tune the app to get exactly the experience you want before you share it with other users."

The App Builder stores data in Microsoft Lists, the company's lightweight database system, and allows users to share finished applications via a simple link—similar to sharing a document. The Workflows agent, meanwhile, automates routine tasks across Microsoft's ecosystem of products, including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Planner, by converting natural language descriptions into automated processes.

A third component, a simplified version of Microsoft's Copilot Studio agent-building platform, lets users create specialized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks or knowledge domains, drawing from SharePoint documents, meeting transcripts, emails, and external systems.

All three capabilities are included in the existing $30-per-month Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription at no additional cost — a pricing decision Lamanna characterized as consistent with Microsoft's historical approach of bundling significant value into its productivity suite.

"That's what Microsoft always does. We try to do a huge amount of value at a low price," he said. "If you go look at Office, you think about Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Exchange, all that for like eight bucks a month. That's a pretty good deal."

Why Microsoft's nine-year bet on low-code development is finally paying off

The new tools represent the culmination of a nine-year effort by Microsoft to democratize software development through its Power Platform — a collection of low-code and no-code development tools that has grown to 56 million monthly active users, according to figures the company disclosed in recent earnings reports.

Lamanna, who has led the Power Platform initiative since its inception, said the integration into Copilot marks a fundamental shift in how these capabilities reach users. Rather than requiring workers to visit a separate website or learn a specialized interface, the development tools now exist within the same conversational window they already use for AI-assisted tasks.

"One of the big things that we're excited about is Copilot — that's a tool for literally every office worker," Lamanna said. "Every office worker, just like they research data, they analyze data, they reason over topics, they also will be creating apps, agents and workflows."

The integration offers significant technical advantages, he argued. Because Copilot already indexes a user's Microsoft 365 content — emails, documents, meetings, and organizational data — it can incorporate that context into the applications and workflows it builds. If a user asks for "an app for Project Spartan," Copilot can draw from existing communications to understand what that project entails and suggest relevant features.

"If you go to those other tools, they have no idea what the heck Project Spartan is," Lamanna said, referencing competing low-code platforms from companies like Google, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. "But if you do it inside of Copilot and inside of the App Builder, it's able to draw from all that information and context."

Microsoft claims the apps created through these tools are "full-stack applications" with proper databases secured through the same identity systems used across its enterprise products — distinguishing them from simpler front-end tools offered by competitors. The company also emphasized that its existing governance, security, and data loss prevention policies automatically apply to apps and workflows created through Copilot.

Where professional developers still matter in an AI-powered workplace

While Microsoft positions the new capabilities as accessible to all office workers, Lamanna was careful to delineate where professional developers remain essential. His dividing line centers on whether a system interacts with parties outside the organization.

"Anything that leaves the boundaries of your company warrants developer involvement," he said. "If you want to build an agent and put it on your website, you should have developers involved. Or if you want to build an automation which interfaces directly with your customers, or an app or a website which interfaces directly with your customers, you want professionals involved."

The reasoning is risk-based: external-facing systems carry greater potential for data breaches, security vulnerabilities, or business errors. "You don't want people getting refunds they shouldn't," Lamanna noted.

For internal use cases — approval workflows, project tracking, team dashboards — Microsoft believes the new tools can handle the majority of needs without IT department involvement. But the company has built "no cliffs," in Lamanna's terminology, allowing users to migrate simple apps to more sophisticated platforms as needs grow.

Apps created in the conversational App Builder can be opened in Power Apps, Microsoft's full development environment, where they can be connected to Dataverse, the company's enterprise database, or extended with custom code. Similarly, simple workflows can graduate to the full Power Automate platform, and basic agents can be enhanced in the complete Copilot Studio.

"We have this mantra called no cliffs," Lamanna said. "If your app gets too complicated for the App Builder, you can always edit and open it in Power Apps. You can jump over to the richer experience, and if you're really sophisticated, you can even go from those experiences into Azure."

This architecture addresses a problem that has plagued previous generations of easy-to-use development tools: users who outgrow the simplified environment often must rebuild from scratch on professional platforms. "People really do not like easy-to-use development tools if I have to throw everything away and start over," Lamanna said.

What happens when every employee can build apps without IT approval

The democratization of software development raises questions about governance, maintenance, and organizational complexity — issues Microsoft has worked to address through administrative controls.

IT administrators can view all applications, workflows, and agents created within their organization through a centralized inventory in the Microsoft 365 admin center. They can reassign ownership, disable access at the group level, or "promote" particularly useful employee-created apps to officially supported status.

"We have a bunch of customers who have this approach where it's like, let 1,000 apps bloom, and then the best ones, I go upgrade and make them IT-governed or central," Lamanna said.

The system also includes provisions for when employees leave. Apps and workflows remain accessible for 60 days, during which managers can claim ownership — similar to how OneDrive files are handled when someone departs.

Lamanna argued that most employee-created apps don't warrant significant IT oversight. "It's just not worth inspecting an app that John, Susie, and Bob use to do their job," he said. "It should concern itself with the app that ends up being used by 2,000 people, and that will pop up in that dashboard."

Still, the proliferation of employee-created applications could create challenges. Users have expressed frustration with Microsoft's increasing emphasis on AI features across its products, with some giving the Microsoft 365 mobile app one-star ratings after a recent update prioritized Copilot over traditional file access.

The tools also arrive as enterprises grapple with "shadow IT" — unsanctioned software and systems that employees adopt without official approval. While Microsoft's governance controls aim to provide visibility, the ease of creating new applications could accelerate the pace at which these systems multiply.

The ambitious plan to turn 500 million workers into software builders

Microsoft's ambitions for the technology extend far beyond incremental productivity gains. Lamanna envisions a fundamental transformation of what it means to be an office worker — one where building software becomes as routine as creating spreadsheets.

"Just like how 20 years ago you put on your resume that you could use pivot tables in Excel, people are going to start saying that they can use App Builder and workflow agents, even if they're just in the finance department or the sales department," he said.

The numbers he's targeting are staggering. With 56 million people already using Power Platform, Lamanna believes the integration into Copilot could eventually reach 500 million builders. "Early days still, but I think it's certainly encouraging," he said.

The features are currently available only to customers in Microsoft's Frontier Program — an early access initiative for Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers. The company has not disclosed how many organizations participate in the program or when the tools will reach general availability.

The announcement fits within Microsoft's larger strategy of embedding AI capabilities throughout its product portfolio, driven by its partnership with OpenAI. Under the restructured agreement announced Tuesday, Microsoft will have access to OpenAI's technology through 2032, including models that achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) — though such systems do not yet exist. Microsoft has also begun integrating Copilot into its new companion apps for Windows 11, which provide quick access to contacts, files, and calendar information.

The aggressive integration of AI features across Microsoft's ecosystem has drawn mixed reactions. While enterprise customers have shown interest in productivity gains, the rapid pace of change and ubiquity of AI prompts have frustrated some users who prefer traditional workflows.

For Microsoft, however, the calculation is clear: if even a fraction of its user base begins creating applications and automations, it would represent a massive expansion of the effective software development workforce — and further entrench customers in Microsoft's ecosystem. The company is betting that the same natural language interface that made ChatGPT accessible to millions can finally unlock the decades-old promise of empowering everyday workers to build their own tools.

The App Builder and Workflows agents are available starting today through the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store for Frontier Program participants.

Whether that future arrives depends not just on the technology's capabilities, but on a more fundamental question: Do millions of office workers actually want to become part-time software developers? Microsoft is about to find out if the answer is yes — or if some jobs are better left to the professionals.

Neymar receives key update from Santos president on his future ahead of 2026 World Cup

29 October 2025 at 02:44
With his sights set on playing in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with Brazil, Neymar is awaiting clarity on his future with Santos.

As he reaches the final stages of recovery from his latest injury, Neymar has made it clear that his top priority is to regain full fitness and form in order to earn a spot on Brazil’s roster for the FIFA World Cup 2026. In that context, his future with Santos will play a crucial role in determining how the forward prepares for next summer’s tournament.

After agreeing to return to the club at the beginning of 2025, Ney’s contract is set to expire in December of this year. While speculation about his next move has become a top story in the Brazilian press, Santos president has made his position clear.

“The tendency is for Neymar to stay,” said Marcelo Teixeira in a conversation with reporters after Santos’ draw with Botafogo over the weekend. The club president added that he maintains “constant communication” with the player’s father and agent, but also acknowledged, “We have not yet talked about a renewal.”

Teixeira clarified that the link between Neymar and the club has reasons to continue at least until next summer. “The project is not for six months,” he explained. “It has always been focused on the World Cup — for Santos and for Brazil.”

Neymar last appeared for Brazil in October 2023.

However, far from guaranteeing a renewal for the 33-year-old forward, the Santos president noted that key issues will still need to be discussed. “We will evaluate, review the financial aspects, and assess the player’s technical condition,” said Teixeira.

Santos in a delicate situation

While the media and fans around the world are eager to know what will happen with Neymar after December — with some even imagining a move to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami — the current reality at Santos allows little room for distraction.

The club is in a precarious position in Serie A: they currently sit 16th in the standings with 32 points from 29 matches, just one point clear of the relegation zone. Ahead of them lie only nine more games to determine their fate.

Given this situation, Marcelo Teixeira made it clear that discussions about Neymar’s renewal are, for now, secondary. “We’ll evaluate that in due time,” said the president. “Santos is focused on the competition. Every match is a final.”

Neymar focused on the 2026 World Cup

With the urgent need to secure victories and avoid relegation, Santos are eagerly awaiting Neymar’s return to the field. He last played on September 14, before a hamstring injury sidelined him. The forward’s recovery has now lasted a month and a half, and he is expected to return in November to help the team through the decisive stretch of the season.

Beyond that short-term goal, Neymar also needs to regain consistency at Santos — both in staying healthy and in maintaining his level of play. He knows that only under those conditions will he be able to earn a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for the World Cup.

Neymar's contract with Santos expires at the end of 2025.

Cristiano Ronaldo sends encouraging 8-word message to Al Nassr fans and teammates after King’s Cup exit

29 October 2025 at 02:15
Despite being in top form, Al Nassr faced a surprising elimination against Karim Benzema's Al Ittihad in the King's Cup. Following the match, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly sent an encouraging eight-word message to fans and teammates.

Al Nassr kicked off the season in top form, securing 10 consecutive wins. As a result, they emerged as clear favorites to beat Al Ittihad in their King’s Cup match. However, they suffered a surprising elimination from the tournament, marking their second failed attempt after the Super Cup. After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo swiftly delivered a short eight-word message to his teammates and fans.

Karim Benzema opened the scoring for Al Ittihad, but Angelo quickly equalized for Al Nassr. However, Jorge Jesus’ team struggled to maintain a solid defense, allowing Houssem Aouar to capitalize on the gaps and score the winning goal. Despite having a numerical advantage on the field after Ahmed Al-Julaydan’s ejection, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team could not mount a comeback, prompting the veteran to react on social media.

Cristiano Ronaldo failed to shine in today’s game against Al Ittihad, finishing the game with just one shot on goal. After his lackluster performance, the Portuguese star broke his silence following Al Nassr’s defeat just over an hour after the final whistle, saying: “We stand tall, learn, and move forward together,” he wrote, via X, formerly Twitter.

With today’s defeat, Al Nassr suffered their second lost of the season, after their Supercup defeat against Al Ahli, once again highlighting the team’s persistent defensive issues despite the addition of Iñigo Martinez. Following this setback, fans have questioned the performances of Abdullah Alkhaibari and Marcelo Brozovic, expressing concerns about their ongoing lack of defensive solidity.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s problem? Al Nassr coach Jorge Jesus gives the reasons behind their King’s Cup elimination

Although Al Nassr had been shining offensively in several consecutive games, only Angelo, Kingsley Coman, and Sadio Mane managed to shine. As a result, not only were defensive lapses exposed, but also the performace of Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been leading the team in previous games. In response, coach Jorge Jesus analyzed the team’s defeat, making it clear that the Portuguese veteran was not to blame for today’s result.

“This was our third match against Al Ittihad… We won two matches and lost one. The first half was evenly matched…After the red card, we tried to equalize but didn’t succeed, and the opponent defended well… As for Cristiano, we needed him, whether for aerial balls or set pieces. Our problem today was not Cristiano, but fatigue and exhaustion… The loss has nothing to do with tactical issues,” Jorge Jesus said in the post-game press conference.

Just before King’s Cup match against Al Ittihad, Al Nassr faced a busy schedule, playing against Goa in the AFC Champions League 2 and against Al Hazm in the Saudi Pro League within a span of just six days previous today’s game. For this reason, coach Jorge Jesus exposed that his roster was not in peak physical condition due to the demanding schedule, setting aside criticism of Cristiano and his performance in the game.

Good news for Messi: Inter Miami announce contract extension for key player ahead of upcoming MLS season

29 October 2025 at 01:42
Inter Miami have agreed to extend the contract of a player who will continue to be Lionel Messi’s teammate in Major League Soccer.

While competing in the Eastern Conference Playoffs of Major League Soccer, Inter Miami are also focused on building their roster for the coming years. Just days after announcing Lionel Messi’s new deal, the club confirmed a contract extension for another key player.

“Inter Miami CF announced today it has signed midfielder Yannick Bright to a contract extension,the Herons said in a statement published on their official website on Tuesday. The Florida side explained that the new deal will run for three years, through the end of the 2028 campaign, with an option for one additional season.

It is a key decision not only for the present of the Italian midfielder, who has been frequently used by Javier Mascherano throughout this year, but also for the future. With Sergio Busquets having announced his retirement, Inter Miami will need players to fill that area of the field, and Bright’s continuity will be a relief when considering the team’s priorities for the next transfer window.

The current campaign is Yannick’s second since joining Miami. Throughout 2025, he appeared in 39 matches across MLS, the Concacaf Champions Cup, and the Leagues Cup. However, during the FIFA Club World Cup, he was left out of the squad due to a muscle injury.

Of the 39 matches he played this year, Bright started in 21, highlighting his importance to the team during a demanding season with many competitions on multiple fronts. In most of his appearances, he partnered with Busquets in midfield, and his role grew especially after the departure of Federico Redondo to Elche.

Inter Miami are building their roster for 2026

In recent weeks, two of Inter Miami’s superstars have announced that they will retire from professional soccer at the end of this season. Sergio Busquets was the first to share the news, followed by Jordi Alba, who had signed a contract extension just a few months earlier.

As a counterbalance, the club’s management has taken steps to secure the future of several key players. The most notable case, of course, is that of Lionel Messi, who announced last week that he had signed a new contract. Joining him were Noah Allen and David Ruiz.

Among the players whose contracts expire at the end of this season are other regular starters such as Tadeo Allende, Marcelo Weigandt, and Ian Fray. Luis Suarez is in the same situation, and there is significant attention on whether he will follow Messi’s path or make a decision similar to those of Busquets and Alba.

Finally, there are four players whose contracts are also set to expire on December 31, 2025, but under different circumstances. Rodrigo De Paul, Baltasar Rodriguez, Rocco Rios Novo, and Allen Obando are currently on loan, though Inter Miami hold the option to make their moves permanent.

The Herons’ most immediate goal

Aside from the ongoing negotiations to renew contracts for next year’s roster, Inter Miami have much more immediate objectives. Their current focus is on advancing to the next round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs—something they failed to achieve last season despite winning the Supporters’ Shield.

In the opening match of the first round, the Herons defeated Nashville SC 2-0, taking a crucial step toward the Eastern semifinals. To secure qualification, they will need another victory, this time on the road, next Saturday. If they fail to do so, a third and decisive game will be played at Chase Stadium to determine which team advances.

USMNT star Gio Reyna opens up on 2026 World Cup dreams after Mauricio Pochettino snub

29 October 2025 at 01:22
After falling off the consideration of Mauricio Pochettino, Giovanni Reyna set huge expectations for his return tot he USMNT ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Giovanni Reyna has seen his place in the US Men’s National Team slip away in recent months, struggling to earn the trust of new head coach Mauricio Pochettino and his staff since the Argentine’s appointment. With less than eight months until the start of the 2026 World Cup, the young midfielder has opened up about his dreams of returning to the national team.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Reyna shared his thoughts on the upcoming World Cup and his desire to be part of the USMNT: “I do obviously think about it pretty often as it’s somewhere where I need and want to be. But I try to focus daily here, stay present here, work here every day, and hopefully believe everything will fall into place.

Reyna has battled injuries over the past few seasons, which have made it difficult for him to stay in Pochettino’s plans. Since the coach’s debut, the midfielder has only been called up once, for the CONCACAF Nations League Finals back in March, and hasn’t featured for the national team since then.

For the 2025–26 season, Reyna completed a move from Borussia Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach in a transfer worth €4 million. After six years with Dortmund and limited playing time, the USMNT star made the switch in search of more minutes and a path back to international football.

Reyna also revealed Pochettino’s message regarding what he needs to do to earn a recall ahead of the World Cup: “I think Pochettino was very clear with saying, ‘You need to play, perform and then if you do that then you have a good chance to come in again.’ It’s all on me now.”

Reyna and a 2025–26 season focused on minutes

During the 2024–25 campaign, Reyna struggled to find consistent playing time at Borussia Dortmund, while a groin strain sidelined him for several games. As a result, he fell down the pecking order, finishing the season with just 627 minutes across 26 matches, an average of 24 minutes per game.

Given that scenario, Reyna decided to move on from Dortmund, the club he joined from the New York City FC Academy in 2019. So far in the 2025–26 season, the 22-year-old has logged 120 minutes across four matches with Mönchengladbach and is gradually regaining his fitness while aiming to become a regular starter once again.

Kane successor? Bayern Munich reportedly eyeing a Barcelona’s target for next summer transfer window

29 October 2025 at 00:31
Harry Kane appears to be in top form, leading the scoring for Bayern Munich and fitting perfectly into coach Vincent Kompany's system. Nonetheless, reports suggest the German side is pursuing a Barcelona target as a future replacement for the English star.

Bayern Munich have kicked off the season in top form, maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak. One of the standout players in this strong start is Harry Kane. Despite being 32 years old, he appears to be in his best shape ever. After scoring 20 goals in 12 games, the Englishman is emerging as a key figure for the team’s immediate future. However, the German club is also eyeing a Barcelona target for its long-term plans.

As Sky Sports reported, Bayern Munich are pursuing Fisnik Asllani as a long-term replacement for Harry Kane. However, his arrival might not be as straightforward as expected since Barcelona are also targeting him to succeed Robert Lewandowski. With a reportedly low release clause, the 23-year-old Hoffenheim striker has attracted attention from multiple teams.

Even Asllani is not a world-wide known talent, he has been fascinating fans with his impressing scoring prowess. In the 2024-25 season, Fisnik was able to score 19 goals and contribute with 10 assists in 37 games in the Bundesliga 2. After getting a promotion to Bundesliga, many expected his goal ratio to decrease, but he keeps leading Hoffenheim scoring 6 goals in 5 games in the current season.

Given his impressive performances, both Bayern and Barcelona view him as a potential top-class striker. If the Spanish side does not renew Lewandowski’s contract, he may have a better chance to regain a starting role in the lineup. Meanwhile, the German side reportedly considers pairing him with Kane to form a dynamic offensive duo, ensuring he receives ample playing time.

Asllani’s possible arrival raises questions about Harry Kane’s future at Bayern Munich?

Harry Kane has reached peak performance since joining Bayern Munich. With an impressive scoring start, the English star continues to lead the offense. The potential arrival of Fisnik Asllani, however, raises questions about whether the German side might replace the veteran striker with the young up-and-comer. Nonetheless, Sky Sports reports that the 32-year-old will remain a cornerstone of the team until his contract ends.

At the end of his contract in June 2027, Kane will be 34 years old. This may lead Bayern to offer him a short-term renewal, a strategy they have followed over the years. Considering this, the English star’s continuity may not be as assured as expected and the German side plans to have an immediate solution capable of scoring. Additionally, pairing Asllani with Kane will ease the adaptation of the 23-year-old star and maintain the team’s competitiveness.

Harry Kane of Bayern Munich looks on.

Zderzenie karetki i osobówki w Dąbrowie, w powiecie mogileńskim. Dwie osoby w szpitalu [zdjęcia]

Bydgoscy radni będą debatować nad nocnym zakazem sprzedaży alkoholu w mieście

29 October 2025 at 00:20

Zakaz nocnej sprzedaży alkoholu w całej Bydgoszczy? Domaga się tego Partia Razem. Członkowie ugrupowania zebrali w tej sprawie ponad 900 podpisów i przesłali je do przewodniczącej bydgoskiej Rady Miasta.

W środę radni zdecydują, czy wprowadzić tzw. ciszę alkoholową w mieście. Projekt uchwały zakłada zakaz sprzedaży alkoholu od godz. 23:00 do 6:00, członkowie Partii Razem apelują, by zakaz obowiązywał już od godz. 22:00. - To zdecydowanie poprawi bezpieczeństwo w mieście - zapewnia Emilia Goryńska- Radtke, koordynatorka zespołu ds. ciszy alkoholowej. - Zależy nam, żeby zakaz obowiązywał od godziny 22:00, czyli tak, jak w tej jest na Starym Mieście. Przypomnijmy: chodzi o zakaz sprzedaży alkoholu do spożycia poza miejscem zakupu, czyli nie dotyczy to restauracji i barów. - Patrząc na przykłady innych miast takich jak: Gdańsk, Wrocław, Słupsk, czy wcześniej Olsztyn, wprowadzenie takiego zakazu sprawia, że ludzie w mieście czują się bezpieczniej. Wieczorami jest mnie interwencji policji, straży miejskiej, pogotowia ratunkowego, a przede wszystkim jest mniej zgłoszeń dotyczących zaburzeń porządku publicznego…

Google DeepMind’s BlockRank could reshape how AI ranks information

29 October 2025 at 00:09
Block AI

Google DeepMind researchers have developed BlockRank, a new method for ranking and retrieving information more efficiently in large language models (LLMs).

  • BlockRank is detailed in a new research paper, Scalable In-Context Ranking with Generative Models.
  • BlockRank is designed to solve a challenge called In-context Ranking (ICR), or the process of having a model read a query and multiple documents at once to decide which ones matter most.
  • As far as we know, BlockRank is not being used by Google (e.g., Search, Gemini, AI Mode, AI Overviews) right now – but it could be used at some point in the future.

What BlockRank changes. ICR is expensive and slow. Models use a process called “attention,” where every word compares itself to every other word. Ranking hundreds of documents at once gets exponentially harder for LLMs.

How BlockRank works. BlockRank restructures how an LLM “pays attention” to text. Instead of every document attending to every other document, each one focuses only on itself and the shared instructions.

  • The model’s query section has access to all the documents, allowing it to compare them and decide which one best answers the question.
  • This transforms the model’s attention cost from quadratic (very slow) to linear (much faster) growth.

By the numbers. In experiments using Mistral-7B, Google’s team found that BlockRank:

  • Ran 4.7× faster than standard fine-tuned models when ranking 100 documents.
  • Scaled smoothly to 500 documents (about 100,000 tokens) in roughly one second.
  • Matched or beat leading listwise rankers like RankZephyr and FIRST on benchmarks such as MSMARCO, Natural Questions (NQ), and BEIR.

Why we care. BlockRank could change how future AI-driven retrieval and ranking systems work to reward user intent, clarity, and relevance. That means (in theory) clear, focused content that aligns with why a person is searching (not just what they type) should increasingly win.

What’s next. Google/DeepMind researchers are continuing to redefine what it means to “rank” information in the age of generative AI. The future of search is advancing fast – and it’s fascinating to watch it evolve in real time.

Bitcoin Breaks Above STH Realized Price For The First Time In Weeks – What’s Next?

29 October 2025 at 02:00

Bitcoin is showing early signs of strength as it attempts to reclaim the $115,000 level. After weeks of mixed sentiment and heavy selling pressure, momentum appears to be turning slightly bullish. The recent weekly close above $114,500 has confirmed a reclaim of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, a key on-chain threshold currently sitting near $113,000. This metric represents the average cost basis of recent market participants and often serves as a pivotal line separating bullish from bearish sentiment.

Top analyst Darkfost shared that this reclaim is an encouraging signal, reflecting renewed buyer confidence after a volatile October. However, he also cautioned that Bitcoin’s position must still be monitored closely. A rejection at current levels could lead to a renewed correction phase, mirroring the pattern seen in 2024, when BTC faced multiple failed attempts before regaining upward momentum.

For now, the market sits at a delicate crossroads — consolidating below resistance while holding critical on-chain support. If Bitcoin can sustain this structure and push convincingly above $115K, analysts believe it could open the door for a broader bullish continuation and potentially a retest of the $120K region in the weeks ahead.

Bitcoin Holds Above Key On-Chain Level

According to top analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin’s reclaim of the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price around $113,000 could mark a crucial turning point for market structure. He notes that during the 2024 correction, BTC faced four failed attempts to break above this same metric. Each rejection was driven by short-term holders selling at their break-even points — a typical psychological reaction that delays trend reversals. Once Bitcoin finally sustained above the STH Realized Price, however, the market quickly regained momentum and entered a new expansion phase.

This time, the dynamic appears similar. If Bitcoin successfully consolidates above this zone, it could pave the way for a strong bullish impulse and potentially a new all-time high (ATH) in the short term. The STH Realized Price acts as a measure of conviction among recent investors; holding above it suggests growing confidence and a shift from capitulation to accumulation.

Darkfost also highlights another critical observation: throughout the current bull cycle, Bitcoin has never fallen below the yearly STH Realized Price. Each time the price neared that level, a rebound followed — reaffirming it as a structural support for the broader trend.

Still, caution remains essential. A breakdown below the $94,000 mark — the current yearly STH Realized Price — would likely signal a deeper market shift. Such a move could mark the transition from a mid-cycle correction into a more prolonged bearish phase.

For now, the data suggests resilience, not weakness. As long as BTC remains above its short-term realized threshold, the broader uptrend remains intact — with potential for the next major rally if buying pressure continues to build above $115K.

BTC Bulls Defend Key Support While Momentum Cools

Bitcoin is currently trading around $114,360, consolidating after a brief rally that tested resistance near $115,800–$117,500. The chart shows that BTC successfully reclaimed the 200-period moving average (red line) on the 4-hour timeframe, a level that had acted as resistance throughout mid-October. This reclaim is an encouraging short-term signal, but momentum appears to be slowing as traders await the next catalyst.

The $113,000–$114,000 range now serves as immediate support — aligning with the Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price, a key on-chain level that reflects the cost basis of recent buyers. Holding this zone could allow bulls to consolidate strength before another attempt at breaking above $117,500, the main horizontal resistance that capped previous rallies.

On the downside, failure to maintain above the 200-MA could trigger a retest of $111,000, where the 100-MA (green line) provides secondary support. Trading volume remains subdued, reflecting investor caution ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later this week.

Bitcoin remains in a constructive phase as long as it holds above $113K. Sustained consolidation above this level would reinforce bullish structure — while a decisive break above $117,500 could open the path toward $120,000+ in the short term.

Dogecoin Open Interest Crashes 50% From October Highs, Volume Is Worse, What’s Going On?

29 October 2025 at 01:00

Dogecoin (DOGE) is facing a steep market cooldown after weeks of heightened trading activity in early October. Data from CoinGlass shows that both Open Interest (OI) and trading volume for DOGE futures have crashed, indicating a sharp decline in the meme coin’s momentum. The latest figures reveal a significant pullback in derivatives activity and spot market participation, suggesting that traders may be retreating from speculative positions as volatility eases. 

Dogecoin Open Interest Crashes Over 60%

Dogecoin’s Open Interest has plunged dramatically from its October highs, reflecting a rapid exodus of leveraged traders from the market. According to CoinGlass, total exchange DOGE futures Open Interest has fallen over 62% from a peak of $5.03 billion on October 7 to $1.88 billion on October 28. This represents a drop to approximately 9.41 billion DOGE, valued at $ 0.20 per token.

Despite the decline in Open Interest, Binance, BitMEX, and Bybit continue to lead as the top exchanges with the highest Dogecoin futures activity. Still, the downturn has been widespread across exchanges. Kucoin recorded the largest drop in recent hours at 3.1%, followed closely by Bitget, which saw a 2.27% decline. Over the last 24 hours, Bitunix recorded the steepest drop in Open Interest, down 15.86%, while Crypto.com saw a 7.36% reduction. 

Dogecoin

Even Binance, which consistently leads Dogecoin futures trading, has seen a notable pullback. CoinGlass reports that the exchange’s Open Interest peaked at $964.7 million on October 7, marking a monthly high. Since then, it has fallen to $380.29 million (1.9 billion DOGE), representing a staggering 60.6% crash in just over three weeks.

Dogecoin Sees Even Worse Decline In Volume

Trading volume for Dogecoin has mirrored the collapse in Open Interest. CoinGlass data shows that Dogecoin’s futures volume heatmap across major crypto exchanges is in the red zone. Total trading volume had spiked to $20.45 billion on October 11, following the devastating crypto flash crash on October 10, but has since plummeted to $5.31 billion as of October 28. This represents a whopping 74% decline.

On individual exchanges, Binance’s DOGE trading volume dropped by 9.35% in the past 24 hours, while OKX saw a 13.69% decline. CoinEx recorded the largest volume decrease at 26.1%, followed by Gate.io at 23.94%. Popular exchanges like Bitget, Kucoin, and Bitunix also reported varying declines of 4.96%, 20.37% and 13.16%, respectively, as overall market liquidity thinned

However, a few exchanges bucked the downward trend, recording slight gains. dYdX saw its DOGE volume surge by 167.61%, HTX increased by 49.93%, and Hyperliquid rose by 23.88%. Bybit and MEXC also recorded modest gains of 24.98% and 1.88%, respectively. 

Alongside its decline in trading volume, CoinGlass notes that Dogecoin’s price performance has slipped. The meme coin is currently trading at $0.20, down 13.19% over the past 30 days and 2.86% in the last 24 hours.

Here’s Why The XRP Price Still Isn’t Bearish Despite The 50% Flash Crash

29 October 2025 at 00:00

The XRP price recently saw a sharp drop that was very scary for many traders, and some in the crypto market think the chart looks weak now. However, an analyst on X, Cryptoinsightuk, disagrees. The analyst explains that XRP is not bearish right now, even after the 50% flash crash, and the price can still move higher when liquidity returns.

Low Downside Liquidity And Weekly Chart Still Looks Fine For The XRP Price

Cryptoinsightuk says that XRP has “no downside liquidity.” The analyst explains that sellers are not strong, so there is very little liquidity sitting below the current price level. It does not mean the XRP price will stay still, although it may move up and down for now. At some point, exchanges and market makers may push the price higher into deeper liquidity, where they can make money.

XRP Price 1

The analyst says that the flash crash does not damage the weekly chart. The weekly picture still shows a normal trend even after the sharp fall. He notes that online discussions are focusing on the monthly chart and using it to claim that XRP is weak, but the monthly chart alone is only one timeframe and not enough to call the price truly bearish. The slight drop shows weakness only on lower timeframes, not in the broader market structure, and Cryptoinsightuk believes the bigger structure is still pointing up, which is a key reason he does not see a bearish trend forming even after the 50% flash crash.

XRP Price 2

The analyst’s comment about market makers also gives hope to traders who worry that the XRP price will keep falling. When market makers see better opportunities at higher price levels, the price often moves up to where they want to make profits. It gives XRP a path to recovery later, rather than staying low. He keeps pointing to the weekly chart because it shows that XRP still holds its larger bullish setup even after the fear caused by the flash crash.

Higher Timeframes Look Strong, And RSI Fractal Points To A Move Up

Cryptoinsightuk further adds that higher timeframes are always more reliable for reading price trends and recommends looking at the XRP price chart over the past three months. In his view, the three-month chart looks good and supports a strong long-term trend. 

XRP Price 3

He also looks at the daily RSI, and it recently hit an oversold area. When this happened the last time, the XRP price later saw a strong move up. The analyst shared a fractal a few weeks ago that shows what a new “measured move” could look like if this same pattern repeats

XRP Price 4

The fractal suggests the XRP price could rise again from here. The oversold RSI signal suggests that buyers could return and push the price higher in the future.

Blockchain Oracle Development: A Complete Guide for Smart Contract Integration

29 October 2025 at 02:00

Smart contracts changed how agreements run online. There’s one big gap, though: blockchains do not fetch outside data by themselves. That limitation created an entire discipline blockchain oracle development and it now sits at the heart of serious dApp work.

Think through a few common builds. A lending protocol needs live asset prices. A crop-insurance product needs verified weather. An NFT game needs randomness that players cannot predict. None of that works without an oracle. Get the oracle piece wrong and you invite price shocks, liquidations at the wrong levels, or flat-out exploits.

This guide lays out the problem, the tools, and the practical moves that keep your contracts safe while still pulling the real-world facts you need.

The Oracle Problem: Why Blockchains Can’t Talk to the Real World

Blockchains are deterministic and isolated by design. Every node must reach the same result from the same inputs. That’s perfect for on-chain math, and terrible for “go ask an API.” If a contract could call random endpoints, nodes might see different responses and break consensus.

That creates the classic oracle problem: you need outside data, but the moment you trust one server, you add a single point of failure. One feed can be bribed, hacked, or just go down. Now a supposedly trust-minimised system depends on one party.

The stakes are higher in finance. A bad price pushes liquidations over the edge, drains pools, or lets attackers walk off with funds. We’ve seen it. The fix isn’t “don’t use oracles.” The fix is to design oracles with clear trust assumptions, meaningful decentralisation, and defenses that trigger before damage spreads.

Types of Blockchain Oracles You Should Know

Choosing the right fit starts with a quick model map. These types of blockchain oracles for dApps cover most needs:

1) Software oracles

Pull data from web APIs or databases: asset prices, sports results, flight delays, shipping status. This is the workhorse for DeFi, prediction markets, and general app data.

2) Hardware oracles

Feed physical measurements to the chain: GPS, temperature, humidity, RFID events. Supply chains, pharmaceutical cold chains, and logistics rely on these.

3) Inbound vs Outbound

  • Inbound: bring external facts on-chain so contracts can act.
  • Outbound: let contracts trigger real-world actions — send a webhook, start a payment, ping a device.

4) Consensus-based oracles

Aggregate readings from many independent sources and filter outliers. If four feeds say $2,000 and one says $200, the system discards the odd one out.

5) Compute-enabled oracles

Perform heavy work off-chain (randomness, model inference, large dataset crunching) and return results plus proofs. You get richer logic without blowing up gas.

From software to compute-enabled oracles — understanding how each type connects real-world data to smart contracts

Centralized vs. Decentralized: Picking an Oracle Model That Matches Risk

This choice mirrors broader blockchain tradeoffs.

Centralized oracles

  • Pros: fast, simple, low overhead, good for niche data.
  • Cons: single operator, single failure path. If it stops or lies, you’re stuck.

Decentralized oracle networks

  • Pros: many nodes and sources, aggregation, cryptoeconomic pressure to behave, resilience under load.
  • Cons: higher cost than one server, a bit more latency, and more moving parts.

A good rule: match the design to the blast radius. If the data touches balances, liquidations, or settlements, decentralize and add fallbacks. If it powers a UI badge or a leaderboard, a lightweight source can be fine.

Hybrid is common: decentralized feeds for core money logic, lighter services for low-stakes features.

Top Oracle Providers (What They’re Best At)

Choosing from the best Oracle providers for blockchain developers requires understanding each platform’s strengths and ideal use cases. Here’s what you need to know about the major players.

Chainlink: The Industry Standard

Chainlink dominates the space for good reason. It’s the most battle-tested, most widely integrated oracle network, supporting nearly every major blockchain. Chainlink offers an impressive suite of services: Data Feeds provide continuously updated price information for hundreds of assets; VRF (Verifiable Random Function) generates provably fair randomness for gaming and NFTs; Automation triggers smart contract functions based on time or conditions; CCIP enables secure cross-chain communication.

The extensive documentation, large community, and proven track record make Chainlink the default choice for many projects. Major DeFi protocols like Aave, Synthetix, and Compound rely on Chainlink price feeds. If you’re unsure where to start, Chainlink is usually a safe bet.

Band Protocol: Cost-Effective Speed

Band Protocol offers a compelling alternative, particularly for projects prioritizing cost efficiency and speed. Built on Cosmos, Band uses a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism where validators compete to provide accurate data. The cross-chain capabilities are excellent, and transaction costs are notably lower than some alternatives. The band has gained traction, especially in Asian markets and among projects requiring frequent price updates without excessive fees.

API3: First-Party Data Connection

API3 takes a fascinating first-party approach that eliminates middlemen. Instead of oracle nodes fetching data from APIs, API providers themselves run the oracle nodes using API3’s Airnode technology. This direct connection reduces costs, increases transparency, and potentially improves data quality since it comes straight from the source. The governance system allows token holders to curate data feeds and manage the network. API3 works particularly well when you want data directly from authoritative sources.

Pyth Network: High-Frequency Financial Data

Pyth Network specializes in high-frequency financial data, which is exactly what sophisticated trading applications need. Traditional oracle networks update prices every few minutes; Pyth provides sub-second updates by aggregating data from major trading firms, market makers, and exchanges. If you’re building perpetual futures, options protocols, or anything requiring extremely current market data, Pyth delivers what slower oracles can’t.

Tellor: Custom Data Queries

Tellor offers a unique pull-based oracle where data reporters stake tokens and compete to provide information. Users request specific data, reporters submit answers with stake backing their claims, and disputes can challenge incorrect data. The economic incentives align well for custom data queries that other oracles don’t support. Tellor shines for less frequent updates or niche data needs.

Chronicle Protocol: Security-Focused Transparency

Chronicle Protocol focuses on security and transparency for DeFi price feeds, employing validator-driven oracles with cryptographic verification. It’s gained adoption among projects prioritizing security audits and transparent data provenance.

Practical Steps: How to Use Oracles in Blockchain Development

You don’t need theory here — you need a build plan.

1) Pin down the data
What do you need? How fresh must it be? What precision? A lending protocol might want updates every minute; a rainfall trigger might settle once per day.

2) Design for cost
Every on-chain update costs gas. Cache values if several functions use the same reading. Batch work when you can. Keep hot paths cheap.

3) Validate everything
Refuse nonsense. If a stablecoin price shows $1.42, reject it. If a feed hasn’t updated within your time window, block actions that depend on it.

4) Plan for failure
Add circuit breakers, pause routes, and manual overrides for emergencies. If the primary feed dies, switch to a fallback with clear recorded governance.

5) Test like a pessimist
Simulate stale data, zero values, spikes, slow updates, and timeouts. Fork a mainnet, read real feeds, and try to break your own assumptions.

6) Monitor in production
Alert on stale updates, weird jumps, and unusual cadence. Many disasters arrive with a small warning you can catch.

Six essential steps to build, secure, and optimize blockchain oracle workflows in Solidity.

Step-by-Step Oracle Integration in Solidity

Let’s get hands-on with a step-by-step integrate oracle in Solidity tutorial. I’ll show you how to implement smart contract external data oracles using Chainlink, walking through a complete example.

Getting Your Environment Ready

First, you’ll need a proper development setup. Install Node.js, then initialize a Hardhat project. Install the Chainlink contracts package:

Grab some testnet ETH from a faucet for the network you’re targeting. Sepolia is currently recommended for Ethereum testing.

Creating Your First Oracle Consumer

Here’s a practical contract that fetches ETH/USD prices. Notice how we’re importing the Chainlink interface and setting up the aggregator:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.19;

import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/interfaces/AggregatorV3Interface.sol”;

contract TokenPriceConsumer {
AggregatorV3Interface internal priceFeed;

constructor(address _priceFeed) {
    priceFeed = AggregatorV3Interface(_priceFeed);
}

function getLatestPrice() public view returns (int) {
    (
        uint80 roundId,
        int price,
        uint startedAt,
        uint updatedAt,
        uint80 answeredInRound
    ) = priceFeed.latestRoundData();

    require(price > 0, "Invalid price data");
    require(updatedAt > 0, "Round not complete");
    require(answeredInRound >= roundId, "Stale price");

    return price;
}

function getPriceWithDecimals() public view returns (int, uint8) {
    int price = getLatestPrice();
    uint8 decimals = priceFeed.decimals();
    return (price, decimals);
}

The validation checks are crucial. We’re verifying that the price is positive, the round completed, and we’re not receiving stale data. These simple checks prevent numerous potential issues.

Implementing Request-Response Patterns

For randomness and custom data requests, you’ll use a different pattern. Here’s how VRF integration works:

import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/VRFConsumerBaseV2.sol”;
import “@chainlink/contracts/src/v0.8/interfaces/VRFCoordinatorV2Interface.sol”;

contract RandomNumberConsumer is VRFConsumerBaseV2 {
VRFCoordinatorV2Interface COORDINATOR;

uint64 subscriptionId;
bytes32 keyHash;
uint32 callbackGasLimit = 100000;
uint16 requestConfirmations = 3;
uint32 numWords = 2;

uint256[] public randomWords;
uint256 public requestId;

constructor(uint64 _subscriptionId, address _vrfCoordinator, bytes32 _keyHash) 
    VRFConsumerBaseV2(_vrfCoordinator) 
{
    COORDINATOR = VRFCoordinatorV2Interface(_vrfCoordinator);
    subscriptionId = _subscriptionId;
    keyHash = _keyHash;
}

function requestRandomWords() external returns (uint256) {
    requestId = COORDINATOR.requestRandomWords(
        keyHash,
        subscriptionId,
        requestConfirmations,
        callbackGasLimit,
        numWords
    );
    return requestId;
}

function fulfillRandomWords(
    uint256 _requestId,
    uint256[] memory _randomWords
) internal override {
    randomWords = _randomWords;
}

This two-transaction pattern (request then fulfill) is standard for operations requiring computation or external processing.

Integrating Oracle Data into Business Logic

Once you can fetch oracle data, integrate it into your application’s core functions. Here’s an example for a collateralized lending system:

function calculateLiquidationThreshold(
address user,
uint256 collateralAmount
) public view returns (bool shouldLiquidate) {
int ethPrice = getLatestPrice();
require(ethPrice > 0, “Cannot fetch price”);

uint256 collateralValue = collateralAmount * uint256(ethPrice) / 1e8;
uint256 borrowedValue = borrowedAmounts[user];

uint256 collateralRatio = (collateralValue * 100) / borrowedValue;

return collateralRatio < 150; // Liquidate if under 150%

Testing Your Implementation

Deploy to testnet and verify everything works. Use Chainlink’s testnet price feeds, available on their documentation. Test edge cases systematically:

  • What happens during price volatility?
  • How does your contract behave if oracle updates are delayed?
  • Does your validation catch obviously incorrect data?
  • Are gas costs reasonable under various network conditions?

Only after thorough testnet validation should you consider mainnet deployment.

Best Practices for Production Oracle Integration

Implementing oracle services smart contract integration for production requires following established security and efficiency patterns.

Validate Everything

Never assume oracle data is correct. Always implement validation logic that checks returned values against expected ranges. If you’re querying a stablecoin price, flag anything outside $0.95 to $1.05. For ETH prices, reject values that differ by more than 10% from the previous reading unless there’s a clear reason for such movement.

Implement Time Checks

Stale data causes problems. Always verify the timestamp of oracle updates. Set maximum acceptable ages based on your application’s needs. A high-frequency trading application might reject data older than 60 seconds, while an insurance contract might accept hours-old information.

Design for Failure

Oracles can and do fail. Your contracts must handle this gracefully rather than bricking. Include administrative functions allowing trusted parties to pause contracts or manually override oracle data during emergencies. Implement automatic circuit breakers that halt operations when oracle behavior becomes anomalous.

Optimize for Gas

Oracle interactions cost gas. Minimize calls by caching data when appropriate. If multiple functions need the same oracle data, fetch it once and pass it around rather than making multiple oracle calls. Use view functions whenever possible since they don’t cost gas when called externally.

Consider Multiple Data Sources

For critical operations, query multiple oracles and compare results. If you’re processing a $1 million transaction, spending extra gas to verify data with three different oracle providers is worthwhile. Implement median calculations or require consensus before proceeding with high-value operations.

Monitor Continuously

Set up monitoring infrastructure that alerts you to oracle issues. Track update frequencies, data ranges, and gas costs. Anomalies often signal problems before they cause disasters. Services like Tenderly and Defender can monitor oracle interactions and alert you to irregularities.

Document Dependencies Thoroughly

Maintain clear documentation of every oracle dependency: addresses, update frequencies, expected data formats, and fallback procedures. Future maintainers need to understand your oracle architecture to safely upgrade or troubleshoot systems.

Plan for Upgrades

Oracle providers evolve, and you may need to switch providers. Use proxy patterns or similar upgrade mechanisms, allowing you to change oracle addresses without redeploying core contract logic. This flexibility proves invaluable as the Oracle landscape develops.

Blockchain Oracle Development: A Complete Guide for Smart Contract Integration = The Bit Journal
Key pillars for reliable oracle integration — from data validation to failure handling and gas optimization.

Real Implementations That Rely on Oracles

  • DeFi: lending and perps lean on robust price feeds to size collateral, compute funding, and trigger liquidations.
  • Prediction markets: outcomes for elections, sports, and news settle through verifiable reports.
  • Parametric insurance: flight delays and weather thresholds pay out without claims handling.
  • Supply chain: sensors record temperature, shock, and location; contracts release funds only for compliant shipments.
  • Gaming/NFTs: verifiable randomness keeps loot, drops, and draws fair.
  • Cross-chain: proofs and messages confirm events on one network and act on another.
  • Carbon and ESG: industrial sensors report emissions; markets reconcile credits on-chain.

Conclusion

Blockchain oracle development is the hinge that lets smart contracts act on real facts. Start by sizing the blast radius: when data touches balances or liquidations, use decentralized feeds, aggregate sources, enforce time windows, and wire circuit breakers. Choose providers by fit—Chainlink for general reliability, Pyth for ultra-fresh prices, Band for cost and cadence, API3 for first-party data, Tellor for bespoke queries, Chronicle for auditability.

Then harden the pipeline: validate every value, cap staleness, cache to save gas, and monitor for drift in cadence, variance, and fees. Finally, plan for failure with documented fallbacks and upgradeable endpoints, and test on forks until guards hold. Move facts on-chain without central choke points, and your dApp simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blockchain oracle, in one line?

A service that delivers external facts to smart contracts in a way every node can verify.

Centralized vs decentralized — how to choose?

Match to value at risk. High-value money flows need decentralised, aggregated feeds. Low-stakes features can run on simpler sources.

Which provider fits most teams?

Chainlink is the broad, battle-tested default. Use Pyth for ultra-fast prices, Band for economical frequency, API3 for first-party data, Tellor for custom pulls, and Chronicle when auditability is the top ask.

Can oracles be manipulated?

Yes. Reduce risk with decentralisation, validation, time windows, circuit breakers, and multiple sources for important calls.

How should I test before mainnet?

Deploy to a testnet, use the provider’s test feeds, and force failures: stale rounds, delayed updates, and absurd values. Ship only after your guards catch every bad case.

Glossary

  • Blockchain oracle development: engineering the bridge between off-chain data and on-chain logic.
  • Oracle problem: getting outside data without recreating central points of failure.
  • Inbound / Outbound: direction of data relative to the chain.
  • Data feed: regularly updated values, usually prices.
  • Consensus-based oracle: aggregates many sources to filter errors.
  • VRF: verifiable randomness for fair draws.
  • TWAP: time-weighted average price; smooths short-term manipulation.
  • Circuit breaker: pauses risky functions when conditions look wrong.

Summary

Blockchain oracle development is now core infrastructure. The guide explains why blockchains cannot call external APIs and how oracles bridge that gap without creating a single point of failure. It outlines oracle types, including software, hardware, inbound, outbound, consensus, and compute-enabled models. It compares centralized speed with decentralized resilience and advises matching the design to the value at risk. It reviews major providers: Chainlink for broad coverage, Band for low cost, API3 for first-party data, Pyth for ultra-fast prices, Tellor for custom queries, and Chronicle for transparent DeFi feeds. It then gives a build plan: define data needs, control gas, validate values and timestamps, add circuit breakers and fallbacks, test for failure, and monitor in production. Solidity examples show price feeds and VRF patterns. Real uses include DeFi, insurance, supply chains, gaming, cross-chain messaging, and ESG data. The takeout is simple: design the oracle layer with safety first, since user funds depend on it.

ზელენსკი: ვისურვებდით, ჩინეთმა მოახდინოს ზეწოლა რუსეთზე, რომ დაასრულოს ეს ომი და არ ეხმარებოდეს მის გაგრძელებაში

„ძალიან ვისურვებდით, ჩინეთმა მოახდინოს ზეწოლა რუსეთზე, რომ დაასრულოს ეს ომი და არანაირი ფორმით არ ეხმარებოდეს მის გაგრძელებაში“, – განაცხადა უკრაინის პრეზიდენტმა მ 28 ოქტომბერს, როცა ნიდერლანდის საგარეო საქმეთა მინისტრთან შეხვედრისას ჟურნალისტების შეკითხვებს უპასუხა.
ზელენსკიმ ილაპარაკა ს ენერგორესურსების შესყიდვის შემცირების მნიშვნელობაზე კრემლზე რეალური ზეწოლის მოსახდენად. მისი თქმით, ომი რომ არ იყოს, ცხადია, ცალკეული ქვეყნის საქმე იქნებოდა, ვისგან იყიდიდნენ ენერგორესურსებს, თუმცა, დღეს, მისი თქმით, რუსეთის ენერგორესურსების შესყიდვა უკრაინის, ევროპისა და მთელი მსოფლიოს უსაფრთხოებას უკავშირდება. ამ კონტექსტში მან კიდევ ერთხელ გაიმეორა: „ტრამპი თუ მოახერხებდა ჩინეთის პრეზიდენტის დაყოლიებას, რომ შეამციროს რუსეთის ენერგორესურსების შესყიდვა, ყველას დაგვეხმარებოდა“.

„გამოვაცხადე 9 მილიონი ევროს გამოყოფა პროექტისთვის „უკრაინაში ღირსებისა და სამართლიანობის აღდგენა“. ამ კონტრიბუციით მხარს ვუჭერთ უკრაინის მიერ საერთაშორისო დანაშაულების გამოძიებას მისივე მართლმსაჯულების სისტემის გამოყენებით. ეს არის უმნიშვნელოვანესი პასუხისგების მისაღწევად.

ლაშა ბასლანძე:
დილით ჩამოვედი სახლიდან და ვნახე, რომ მანქანის შუშა დამსხვრეული იყო. დავრეკე სადაზღვევოში, იქიდან, ალბათ, პოლიციას შეატყობინეს და დამიბარეს პოლიციაში. უბნის პოლიციის უფროსი გადამემტერა, აქეთ მაბრალებდა, შენ თვითონ გატეხე და გაუხსნელ საქმეს მტენიო და მსგავსი სისულელეები… შენნაირები მე უბანში არ მჭირდება, არაფერში გამომადგები, ჩაშვებით შენ არავის ჩაუშვებო. დამიჭირეს შუშის გატეხვის გამო, დამიდეს იარაღი და ნარკოტიკი, მარიხუანის მოხმარება თუ ანალიზში არ ამოგივარდა, ამოირჩიე, მაშინ რომელიმეს ჩაგიდებთ, მაინც დაგიჭერთო. ამომიგდო მარიხუანა და ასე დამიჭირეს პირველად და ჩამსვეს გლდანის ციხეში წინასწარ ორთვიან პატიმრობაში. მერე გირაო გადავიხადე და გამომიშვეს. ასე დამიჭირეს ოთხჯერ, გადავიხდიდი გირაოს, გამომიშვებდნენ, მერე ისევ მიჭერდნენ.
– როგორც ვიცი, კარანტინის დაშლის დროს ოლეგ ფაცაციას უცემიხარ…
– კარანტინი გამატარეს ოთხჯერ და ბოლოს ამიყვანეს კამერაში. გამომიყვანდნენ, გამატარებდნენ, მცემდნენ, შემიშვებდნენ უკან და ასე მეორდებოდა, კარანტინის დაშლა ხდებოდა ყოველ პარასკევს. „სისხლიან პარასკევს“ ეძახდნენ, რადგან სისხლის გუბეებს აყენებდნენ. კარანტინს რომ გადიოდი, პატიმრების კორიდორი ეყენათ და შენს გვარს რომ გამოაცხადებდნენ, შემოტრიალდებოდი, ხელში ფურცელი გეჭირა, რომელშიც შენს ბრალს კითხულობდნენ და გცემდნენ. რეჟიმის უფროსი და ოლეგ ფაცაცია იდგნენ, გცემდნენ და რომ დაცემულიყავი უარესი იყო – ცემაში მოგკლავდნენ. ამიტომაც ვერ უძლებდნენ პატიმრები და ხელს აწერდნენ ყველაფერზე. მეოთხეჯერ რომ გამიყვანეს კარანტინში, იქ იყო ოლეგ ფაცაცია და ისე მცემა, ბოლოს მკლავდა. ერთი ნახალოვკელი ბადრაგი მუშაობდა, რომელსაც უბნიდან ვიცნობდი და რატომ კლავ, რის გამოო. ასე იმიტომ მექცეოდნენ, რომ მეყვირა, გარეთ მიმეწვდინა ხმა, მკლავენ და მიშველეთ-მეთქი და ჩემს ოჯახს, რაც შეიძლება ბევრი გადაეხადა. მეოთხე დაშლის დროს ხელით ამიტანეს ბიჭებმა. მივლიდნენ, ხელით მაჭმევდნენ… საშინელება იყო, ნაცემი რომ გადიხარ ადვოკატებთან, გაფრთხილებენ, თუ რამე წამოგცდება, მოგკლავთო. ბოლოს უკვე ან ტყდები, ან ისე „გაგარეკინებენ“, მიდიხარ ყველაფერზე.
– ოლეგ ფაცაციას გარდა, ვინმე ცნობილ ბადრაგთან თუ გქონია შეხება?
– მე არ ვიცი, მანამდე რას აკეთებდა ლადო ბედუკაძე. მაშინ კარანტინის სმენის უფროსი იყო. მე ორჯერ ვნახე, ლოცვების წიგნი ეჭირა ხელში, სამხედრო ფორმით დადიოდა. როცა დაიწყეს ცემა და დაშლა, ადგა და წავიდა, იქ არ გაჩერდა. კარანტინში სიგარეტს ვინ მოგაწევინებდა და ერთადერთი ტიპი იყო, ვინც სიგარეტიც მომაწევინა და თავი მტკიოდა და ტკვილგამაყუჩებელი შემომიტანა. ერთი წელია, რაც თავის ტკივილებმა გამიარა.
– როგორ პირობებში იყავით საკანში?
– რა ტელევიზორი, რა რადიო, ციხეში ყველა ცოდვაა, მაგრამ ახლა სასტუმროში არიან მაშინდელ ციხესთან შედარებით. ჩვენს დროს შობას მოგვკლეს ცემით, იმიტომ რომ, სანთლები გვენთო. დილით გასეირნება ხომ ყველას ეკუთვნის, რომ გასულიყავი, გცემდნენ, რატომ გვღლი და რატომ გადიხარო. არ უნდა დამჯდარიყავი, არ უნდა წამოწოლილიყავი, რომ შემოვიდოდნენ, ფეხზე უნდა ამდგარიყავი. დაბანა 3-4 წუთში უნდა მოგესწრო, ბევრი ვერ უძლებდა და გარბოდა ბალანდიორად, იმათ ვეღარ სცემდნენ და მეტი პრივილეგია ჰქონდათ. ადამიანის სრული გატეხვა ხდებოდა. წვერი რომ გაგეპარსა და ერთი ღერი დაგრჩენოდა, მაგაზე გცემდნენ, არ იპარსავო. მერე ცოტა ხანი ორთაჭალაშიც მომიწია ჯდომა, ერთი თვე გლდანს ერთი წელი ორთაჭალა მერჩია. ჩვეულებრივად გავცვლიდი. იქ ყოფნას ვინც გაუძლო და მყარად გამოვიდა, მაგარი ნერვული სისტემა ჰქონია. მსოფლიო ციხეებში ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე საშინელი ციხე იყო. ხუთი კაცი თუ იჯდა საკანში, ორი მაგათი ტიპი იყო, რამე ცუდად რომ გეთქვა, ჩათვალე, უკვე მათ იცოდნენ და მოგკლავდნენ ცემაში. ყველას აფუჭებდნენ, ვისაც ვერ გააფუჭებდნენ „ცინკის“ კუბოთი გადიოდა. სანამ უხდიდი, ბოლომდე არ გწირავდნენ, თუ ვეღარ გადაუხდიდი, სიკვდილი პრობლემა არ იყო. რაღაც ბალანდა შემოდიოდა – აფეთქებულს ვეძახდი. ბევრი რაღაც რომ ჩაყარო და „ლიმონკა“ ჩააგდო, ააფეთქო, ასეთი იყო. თან ცხიმი ჰქონდა საშინელი. ერთდერთი, ლობიოს ვჭამდი ორშაბათს და ოთხშაბათს, საპატრიარქო აგზავნიდა, ნორმალური იყო. მაღაზიაში ვყიდულობდი, მაგრამ თუ რამე არ მოეწონებოდათ მაღაზიაში ყიდვასაც გიკრძალავდენ და პური უნდა გეჭამა. პური ისეთი შემოდიოდა, რომ ვერ შეჭამდი. მე რომ დამიჭირეს, ვისი პურიც შემოდიოდა, მაგის მეპატრონე იყო დაჭერილი. მთელი ციხე ხომ გინებაში იყო, არ იჭმეოდა, ვხუხავდით, ვაცხელებდით და რომ გავიდა ციხიდან, პური ეგრევე გამოასწორა.
– შენ თვალწინ თუ ხდებოდა სხვა პატმრების წამება?
– ღამე რომ მოდიოდა, საშინელი ხმები ისმოდა, კაცის ასეთი განწირული ყვირილი არსად გამიგია. ისე კიოდნენ, რომ მახსენდება, ცუდად ვხდები. საკნიდან ვუყურებდი „რეზბალნიცას“ და ბევრჯერ ყოფილა, ორი-სამი მკვდარი გადმოუყრიათ და ძირს ეყარნენ, სანამ კატაფალკა არ შემოვიდოდა. ოლეგ ფაცაცია მიდიოდა ხოლმე „რეზბალნიცის“ თავზე და ბინოკლით იყურებოდა. 27-28 წლის ახალგაზრდა იყო და აღარ გადიოდა ციხიდან, იქ ცხოვრობდა. პატიმრებს აფურთხებდნენ და აშარდავდნენ. აუპატიურებდნენ – რაღაც რომ უნდოდათ და ვერ იღებდნენ, ამ ტიპის გაფუჭება ჩვეულებრივი იყო. სასწაულებს აკეთებდნენ. 80 წლის კაცს რაღაც საბუთების მაქინაციისთვის კლავდნენ ცემით. 78 წლის კაცს ძროხის მოპარვას აბრალებდნენ, ოთხზე დააყენეს ეს კაცი და ახლა ძროხასავით იღმუვლეო.
– ოთხჯერ დაგიჭირეს, საბოლოოდ როგორ დააღწიე თავი?
– ბოლოს რომ დამიჭირეს ჩემი შვილის, ელენიკოს, დაბადების დღე იყო. მაშინ ვაჩუქე ბავშვს კოკერსპანიელის ლეკვი, ეს ლეკვი და გომელაურის წიგნი მიდევს მანქანაში და ჩემთვის წყნარად მივდივარ. გადამაყენეს, წამობრძანდიო. თან, ეს გამომძიებლები, რომ დაგიჭერდნენ, გეუბნებოდნენ, ლაშა, მაგრად „გვიტყდება“, შენნაირ კაცს ციხეში რა უნდა, მაგრამ ხომ იცი, ბრძანებაა და რომ არ შევასრულოთ, შარში აღმოვჩნდებითო, მარაზმი ხდებოდა. იმ ქვეყანას რა ვუთხარი, სადაც განაჩენის 95 პროცენტი გამამტყუნებელი იყო. გირაოთი გამომიშვებდნენ, რაღაც პერიოდის მერე კიდევ შემიყვანდნენ. „მეკაიფებოდნენ“. თან ფული უნდა მეხადა, თან ბოლომდე უნდა გავეტეხეთ. რაც გადამახდევინეს, მაგის გარდა ქონება წაიღეს, კლინიკა წაიღეს. ზუსტად იცოდნენ, რამდენი გქონდა, რამდენის სესხების თავი გქონდა; ყველაფერი რომ გაგეყიდა, რამდენი გექნებოდა და პლუს მიუმატებდნენ კიდევ ცოტას, რომ ბოლომდე გაეწურე. ბოლოს, 2012 წელს რომ გამოვედი, არჩევნებამდე, ძალიან დიდი როლი ითამაშა ივანიშვილების ოჯახმა, ბერამ. ბოლოს დაჭერილი ვიყავი და მაგ პერიოდში იყო, ჩვენი ბიჭები, ფაქო და ამიკო, გადავიდნენ „რუსთავი 2-იდან“ „ჯიდიესზე“ და ვთქვი, რომ ამას უკვე ვეღარ გადავურჩები-მეთქი. ახალაია იყო მაშინ და შეუთვალა ფაქოს და ამიკოს, თქვენი ძმაკაცი რომ გიზით აქ, იმას ცოცხალს ვერც გამოიყვანთო. ისე ვიყავი შეჩვეული, რომ ზუსტად ვიცოდი, შევბრუნდებოდი. იმან გვიშველა, რომ შეიცვალა ყველაფერი, თორემ არ მომეშვებოდნენ, შანსი არ იყო. ხანდახან რომ მიყვებიან ნაციონალებზე რაღაცებს, ვაჩერებ, ისე ნერვები მეშლება. მაწამეს ტიპებმა და ესე იგი, ემხრობი იმ მწამებლებს და რამე რომ იყოს, შენც მაწამებ. ან უნდა გავჩერდეთ მაშინ, ან კამათში თუ შემოვედი, უნდა ვცემო, ან რა ვიცი, ჩემთვის არიან პირადი მტრები. დედაჩემმა 4-5 წელია, რაც გაიცინა.
– რომ გამოხვედი, ის ბადრაგები არასდროს შეგხვედრიან?
– მერე, რომ გამოვედი, ერთ-ერთი ბადრაგი, რომელმაც მაგრად მცემა, მანქანის სამრეცხაოში ვნახე, მანქანას რეცხავდა. ძალიან დიდი ტიპი იყო გარეგნულად და რომ დამინახა, ისე დაპატარავდა, ასანთის კოლოფის ხელა გახდა და მე ვუთხარი, მე მიპატიებია, შენ თუ აპატიებ შენს თავს-მეთქი მანქანის გარეცხვა ათი ლარი ღირდა და დავუტოვე. არ მგონია, მაგათმა თავის თავს აპატიონ, წარმოუდგენელ საშინელებებს სჩადიოდნენ. მუხაძე იყო მაშინ ციხის დირექტორი. მანამდე მელაძე იყო, წავიდოდა, სპორტულებს ჩაიცვამდა და ისე გამოდიოდა, რომ ეცემა ხალხი. ჩვეულებრივად ვარჯიშობდა ტიპი. მეგრელი კოჭოია რომ დაიჭირეს, ტეორირზმის ბრალდებით, საცოდავს ეზოში სცემდნენ მინისტრებიდან დაწყებული, ყველა. მართლა არ მჯერა დღემდე, რომ იმას ამერიკის საელჩოს აფეთქება შეეძლო.
– სასოწარკვეთილების მომენტები თუ გქონდა?
– კი. იქ არ არსებობს ადამიანი, თვითმკვლელობაზე არ იფიქროს. მე რომ გამოვედი, იმ დღეს მოიკლა 18 წლის ბავშვმა თავი, ახალი გადმოსული იყო პატარებიდან და ვეღარ გაუძლო. ერთხელ მეც გავჭედე, წყალი შევასხი კლუჩნიკს და ისეთი ხმა ჰქონდა, რომ ყველა ბადრაგმა მოირბინა, ციხე აზანზარდა. მაგრად მცემეს, მაგრამ ერთ-ერთმა ნაცნობმა ბადრაგმა გადამარჩინა, გადაუდგა, რა დაგიშავათ, დაანებეთ თავიო. მაგის მერე შემოვიდა ფაცაცია და მითხრა, ჩვენ არაფერი გვინდოდა, გარედან გვქონდა ბრძანება, რომ გაგვეპრესეო. ბევრ რაღაცას გადააფასებ, ის ბავშვი აღარ ხარ და სანამ ნაბიჯს გადადგამ, ბევრად უფიქრდები. ეს რომ ის შემთხვევა ყოფილიყო, რომ რაღაცას ვაშავებდი და დავეჭირე, უფრო მეტი შეიცვლებოდა ჩემს ცხოვრებაში, მაგრამ ამან იქით წამიყვანა, რომ ჩემს ქვეყანას არ დავტოვებ. სულ „ვიჩალიჩებ“, რომ ეგეთები არ მოვიდნენ.
– გაგიჭირდა ციხიდან გამოსულს ახალი ცხოვრების დაწყება?
– ახალი ცხოვრება დავიწყე, სალომე გაჩნდა ჩემს ცხოვრებაში და ყველაფერი დადებითისკენ შეიცვალა, თორემ მე დღეს, ალბათ, ცოცხალიც არ ვიქნებოდი. სალომემ გადამატანინა ეს ამბავი. ახალი გამოსული ვიყავი, დანევროზებული, გაგიჟებული და ასეთი გამიცნო სალომემ და ასეთი მიმიღო. ამიტომაც, ის ჩემთვის ყველაფერია. 2012 წლიდან მე და ჩემმა ოჯახმა ყველაფერი ნულიდან დავიწყეთ, მიწა ვიყიდეთ, ახალი კლინიკა ავაშენეთ. ახლა ყველაფერი კარგადაა…
ღმერთმა გაანათლოს ლაშას სული… სალომეს და ოჯახს გამძლეობა მისცეს უფალმა…
მის შვილებს მუდამ გაჰყოლოდეთ მეგზურად კარგი მამის სახელი და მის მიერ დათესილი სიკეთეები – ცხოვრების მანათობელ ლამპრად… ბოლოს ამ სამიოდე კვირის წინ გვქონდა მიმოწერა…
და ყოველთვის გვქონდა ქვეყნის გადარჩენის საქმეში ერთმანეთის იმედი… ბასლა, ნათელში იყავი, კარგო ადამიანო…- წერს მამაცაშვილი

ბოლო დროს ქოცების მოქმედება ჩვენი, უკვე მიჩვეული გონებისთვისაც კი რთული აღსაქმელი გახდა. ნამეტანი გიჟობაა. ხშირია კითხვები, რატომ აიწყვიტეს ასე ყველა მიმართულებით, რატომ ასეთი ჯირითის რეჟიმში, სად ეჩქარებათ და არის თუ არა ამ მოქმედებაში ეკლექტიკის მიღმა რაიმე მწყობრი სისტემა. ვფიქრობ, ეს აღრევა მეტწილად გამოიწვია ორი სამოქმედო გეგმის ერთდროულად, პარალელურ რეჟიმში განხორციელების მცდელობამ. ერთი გეგმა რუსებისაა, მეორე-ქოცების, უშუალოდ გლუვის (ანუ ბიძინასი). რუსების სამოქმედო გეგმა იმ ქვეყნის მიმართ მოთხოვნების სტანდარტულ პაკეტს მოიცავს, რომლის მთლიანად გადაყლაპვასაც აპირებს. ეს პაკეტი დეტალურად გაასაჯაროეს სთან მიმართებაში და მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ ჩვენთან საომარი მომქმედებები არ მიმდინარეობს, მოთხოვნები იგივეა. თუ უკრაინაში უკუღმა მოქმედება უწევთ, გეგმის ბოლოდან სათავისკენ, რაც მეტად უჭირთ, ჩვენთან წაღმა მოქმედება გამოსდით, პუნქტობრივად მიყვებიან თავიდან და უფრო უადვილდებათ. მივყვეთ ჩვენც პუნქტობრივად და ვნახოთ, განხორციელების რა სტადიაზეა გეგმა ამჟამად, რა არის შესრულებული და რა არის რიგში. გეგმებში შემდეგი პუნქტებია: ლოიალური ხელისუფლება, დემილიტარიზაცია, დენაციფიკაცია, ნეიტრალური სტატუსი. გეგმის სრული შესრულება მიზნად ისახავს ქვეყნის დელეგიტიმაციას, სახელმწიფოებრივი არსებობის ფაქტობრივ შეწყვეტას. გეგმის ყველა პუნქტის განხორციელებას ადგილზე ჰყავს კონკრეტული, პერსონიფიცირებული პასუხისმგებელი, ერთი მთავარი და დამხმარეები. პირველ პუნქტზე პასუხსიმგებელი, ბუნებრივია, თავად გლუვი იყო, მან უზრუნველყო ქვეყნის სათავეში რუსეთის მიმართ სრულად ლოიალური რეჟიმის ჩამოყალიბება და ის არის სტატუს ქვოს შენარჩუნების გარანტორი. ეს პუნქტი სრულად შესრულებულია. შესრულებულია მეორე პუნქტიც -დემილიტარიზაცია. აქ პასუხისმგებელი იყო რუსების მიერ პირდაპირ მოთხოვნილი ყოფილი თავდაცვის მინისტრი მინდია ჯანელიძე, ღრმად კაგებისტური ოჯახის წარმომადგენელი. მან უზრუნველყო კონტრდაზერვის დეპარტამენტის სრული განადგურება და რუსების მხრიდან მის წარმომადგენლებზე სასტიკი რევანში, ფიზიკური ლიკვიდაციისა და ციხეში ჩასმის ჩათვლით. შემდეგ თავდაცვის სამინისტროში რუსული კადრების გადამწყვეტი დომინაცია დასავლური, მეტწილად ამერიკული ბექგრაუნდის კადრებზე, ადგილზე გენერალურ შტაბში რუსების ფიზიკური შეღწევა და შედეგად, საქართველოს შეიარაღებული ძალების სრული დეგრადაცია. როგორც ვთქვით ეს პუნქტიც სრულადაა შესრულებული.
ამჟამად მიმდინარეობს ყველაზე მოცულობითი, მთავარი, ფუძემდებლური პუნქტის განხორციელება – ესაა დენაციფიკაცია. დენაციფიკაცია დელეგიტიმაციის საფუძველია. ის გულისხმობს ნაციონალური იდეის, ეროვნული თვითშეგნების, იდენტიფიკაციის გაქრობას, ისტორიულ-კულტურული მეხსიერების წაშლას, ისტორიის გადაწერას და არასასურველ პირთა იდენტიფიკაციას. პროცესი, რომლის შეფუთვასაც ქოცები „ნაციონალური მოძრაობის და მისი სატელიტების აკრძალვის“ გამოცხადებულ ღონისძიებაში ცდილობენ. სინამდვილეში ეს არის ადამიანების პერსონიფიცირებული აღწერა-ინვენტარიზაცია, ზედმეტობის დადგენა, იმ ადამიანური ზედმეტობის, რომელიც ასე აწუხებს გლუვს და რომლის აღმოფვრას ცდილობს მუდმივად ხან დაშინებით, ხან ციხეებში გასტუმრებით, ხან ქვეყნის დატოვების შეთავაზებით. პროცესი მიმდინარეობს ბოლშევიკური ინსტრუქციებით, ამიტომ, რასაც ვიღებთ, ბოლშევიკებისვე ლოგიკით, არის ციხეში ჩასმულთა, გადასახლებულთა და დასახვრეტთა სიები. ასე აღმოფხრავდნენ ბოლშევიკები ზედმეტობას. ესაა გლუვის მთავარი პრობლემა და აქ ის ისევ ეჯახება მთავარ მტერს – დროს. როგორც ვერანაირი ბაობაბებით, ნატვრის თვლებით და ბროწეულებით ვერ მოახერხებს ის, თავისი ვაგლახი სიცოცხლე 200 წლამდე გაახანგძლივოს, ასევე ვერ მოახერხებს 21-ე საუკუნეში დედამიწის ამ გეოგრაფიულ ნაწილში ათასობით ადამიანის დახვრეტას, გაქრობას. უბრალოდ ვერ და დამთავრდა! გადაულახავი დაბრკოლებაა. ჩვენი მებრძოლი, შეწირული წინაპრების მთავარი დამსახურება ისაა, რომ ამ დრომდე მოგვატანინეს. დრომდე, როდესაც ვერ გვხრეტენ. ნებისმიერი რაოდენობის ადამიანთა სასამართლოს გარეშე დახვრეტის მანდატის გარეშე ბოლშევიკებიც დამარცხდებოდნენ. რომ შეეძლოთ, დაუფიქრებლად დაგვრეტდნენ. აი ისინი, ამ დღეებში პირბადის გამო ხალხს ვინც აპატიმრებენ – დაუფიქრებლად გამოკრავდნენ ჩახმახს თითს. მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ მათი უმეტესობის წინაპრები ნაღდად დახვრეტილები არიან, ისე აქვთ ტვინები გამორეცხილი, რომ თავისიანების დამხვრეტთა ღირსეულ მემკვიდრეებად იქცნენ და მართალ საქმედ სიმართლის დევნა მიაჩნიათ. ესაა უკვე დენაციფიცირებული მასა. ასეთებად უნდათ აქციონ ყველა, ვისაც თავის ჭკუაში აქ ცხოვრების უფლებას მისცემენ, მაგრამ არ გამოვა ეგ ამბავი. ბელორუსში დახვრეტა არსებობს, მაგრამ ლუკაშენკოც კი უკვე წლებია ვერ იყენებს მას. იმიტომ, რომ ამ დროში ვცხოვრობთ, სადაც მე გივი, დახვრეტილ ბაბუა გივიზე უკვე ზუსტად 30 წლით უფროსი ვარ. კი, სცადეს ბომბით, მაგრამ დარწმუნდნენ, რომ ეს საიმედო არაა, ისეთი, როგორც ტყვია კედელთან. გასაკვირი არაა, რომ დენაციფიკაციაზე პასუხისმგებელ პირად განისაზღვრა . მამის აღტკინება გამოყვა, მაგრამ გასაქანი აქვს შეზღუდული. ამ პროცესის შიგნით სხვადასხვა მიმართულებას ასევე ჰყავს თავისი პასუხისმგებელი. წულუკიანის კომისიამ უკვე შეასრულა ისტორიის გადაწერის ფუნქცია, თავისი დასკვნით 200 წლის ომთან დაკავშირებით და საფუძველი შეუქმნა პარტიების, პოლიტიკოსების აკრძალვას. წულუკიანი რელიგიურ ძეგლების განადგურებასაც აკონტროლებს. აქაც პრობლემა აქვთ – მეფის რუსეთის დროს ფრესკებს შეათეთრებდნენ, ბოლშევიკების დროს ტაძრებს ააფეთქებდნენ, დღეს კი უწევთ უმოქმედობის ინიცირება, იმისათვის, რომ ეს მემკვიდრეობა მიწასთან გასწორდეს და დაგვავიწყდეს. საბედნიეროდ, ამდენი დრო არ აქვთ. არასამთავრობოების ამოძირკვაზე მუშაობს რაჟდენ კუპრაშვილი. სავარაუდოდ, ის იქნება თავისუფალ მედიაზე მომავალი გენერალური შეტევის სათავეშიც. აი, განათლების „რეფორმას“, რაც შეეხება, დარწმუნებული ვარ, ირაკლი კობახიძის დედა ხელმძღვანელობს. ისიც, მინდია ჯანელიძის მსგავსად, ძირძველი კაგებისტური საუნივერსიტეტო ოჯახის წარმომადგენელია და მისი უფროსი ბიძა იყო, თავად ის ე.წ. „პრემიერის“ უფროსია ახლაც, ისევე, როგორც მისი მამის უფროსი იყო ყოველთვის. განათლების სისტემის განადგურების ხელმძღვანელობის შანსს ის არ გაუშვებდა ხელიდან, ამიტომაც მგონია მისი პროდუქტი. მოკლედ, დენაციფიკაციის პუნქტი პაკეტის ყველაზე მნიშვნელოვანი პუნქტია, მაგრამ ამავე დროს, ყველაზე პრობლემატურიცაა, ამიტომ მის ბოლომდე შესრულებას ვერ დაელოდებიან და პარალელურად დაიწყებენ ბოლო, ნეიტრალიტეტის პუნქტის შესრულებას. ვფიქრობ, ამ მხრივ რუსები მაქსიმალურად აჩქარებენ და აწვებიან, უკრაინაში მათი შანსების გაურესებიდან გამომდინარე, რათა იქ წარუმატებლობის შემთხვევაში აქ მაინც შერჩეთ ფორმალიზირებული, ასე ვთქვათ ბეჭდიანი გამარჯვება, რაც ნეიტრალური სტატუსის შესახებ საკოინსტიტუციო ჩანაწერს გულისხმობს, რომელიც ჩაანაცვლებს ქვეყნის ევრო-ატლანტიკური არჩევანის შესახებ კონსტიტუციის 78-ე მუხლს. პროცესის დაწყებაზე რუსების დავალება უკვე მიღებულია, რადგან უკვე გამოჩნდნენ ოკუპანტთა მესინჯერები ამ მოთხოვნით. მათი გამოჩენა, ფაქტობრივად, ხმოვანი სიგნალია – კრემლიდან დეპეშა მოვიდა. ამ დეპეშებს ისინი რეჟიმისთვის მიწერილი პერსონალური წერილების სახეს აძლევენ, რომელთა საფუძველზეც რეჟიმი დაუყონებლივ იწყებს მოქედებას. გვახსოვს, ასეთი წერილი მისწერეს ნანა კაკაბაძემ და გელა ნიკოლაიშვილმა რეჟიმს წულუკიანის კომისიის შექმნის აუცილებლობაზე და კომისია, არა მხოლოდ მყისვე შეიქმნა, არამედ უკვე მუშაობაც დაასრულა მოღალატეობრივი აქტით. ვატო შაქარიშვილმა მისწერა წერილი არასამთავროების განადგურების აუცილებლობის შესახებ და მყისვე რაჟდენ კუპრაშვილი აღიჭურვა შესაბამისი დავალებით, უფლებამოსილებით და დაიწყო მოქმედება. ამჟამად ეს პერსონები ერთ ნაგვის გროვად გაფორმდნენ, დაირქვეს „ერთიანი, ნეიტრალური საქართველო“ და მოითხოვეს ამ საკითხის რეფერენდუმზე გატანა. ამ მოთხოვნას მყისვე აყვა ქაქის გარნირი – ხაინდრავები, უცნობები და მსგავსები. რეფერენდუმს, ვფიქრობ, ვერ გარისკავენ, აი საკონსტიტუციო უმრავლესობის მოპოვების გზით კი აუცილებლად წავლენ. მე დარწმუნებული ვარ, რომ პარტიების გაუქმების შემდეგ რეჟიმი უკვე გაზაფხულზე დანიშნავს საპარლამენტო არჩევნებს. ვფიქრობ, ირაკლი კობახიძის ციკლი ამ რუსული პაკეტის ბოლომდე შესრულების ვადით შემოისაზღვრება. ხსენებული კაგებისტური წარმომავლობის გამო, არ გამოვრიცხავ, ის პრემიერად რუსების მხრიდან, მინდია ჯანელიძისავით მოთხოვნილი თუ არა, მხარდაჭერილი კადრი მაინც არის. ვფიქრობ, ამ არჩევნებზე ქოცებს სწორედ ის გაიყვანს. ჩემი აზრით ს შემდეგ მას პარლამენტში დააბრუნებენ, რათა უშუალოდ უხელმძღვანელოს პროცესის დასრულებას – საკონსტიტუციო ჩანაწერის მიღებას, რის შემდგომაც მისი მისია ამოიწურება და გლუვს შეეძლება ჩირად გამოაშროს, ვინმეს აჩუქოს ან სათავსოში შეინახოს. ჩემი აზრით სწორედ ასეთ განვითარებას მოითხოვენ რუსები და კარგი იქნება, ამ თემაზე, საგაზაფხულო საპარლამენტო არჩევნების შემთხვევაში მოქმედების ერთიანი ხედვაზე დისკუსია ახლავე დაიწყოს, მერე ისევ ცაიტნოტში, რომ არ მივიღოთ აქეთა ნაპირიდან ისევ რადიკალურად საპირისპირო მოქმედებები, მით უფრო, რომ მაგ დროისთვის ახალი მოთამაშეები გამოჩნდებიან პოლიტიკურ ველზე. რაც შეეხება გლუვის დღის წესრიგს – ის ორი მიმართულებით ვითარდება. ერთი შიდა ამბებია და აქ რაიმე მწყობრი გეგმის ძიება სრულიად ფუჭია. ეს არის მისი, გლუვის, ნახევარი ნაოჭის მუდმივი ანთების, ეჭვიანობის, ბრაზის, წყენის ანარეკლი. ეს ყველაფერი გროვდება, ერთმანეთს ედება და ბოლოს გამოხეთქავს, ოღონდ, როდის და რა მიმართულებით, კაცმა არ იცის. ამ უკვე გამოხეთქილზე გლუვის აგრესიის მიმართულების კორექცია შესაძლებელია ჭორების და ყურში ჩაჩურჩულების გზით, რასაც მიხვდა და ცდილობს ეს ფაზა სათავისოდ გამოიყენოს. გამომწვევ მიზეზებს რაც შეეხება, მაგალითად, ლილუაშვილზე, ერთმანეთს მიეწყო ამერიკაში გლუვის მესიჯის ვერ მიტანა, თანაც, გლუვმა გადაწყვიტა, რომ ლილუაშილმა მისი საქმეები ვერ დაალაგა, თავისი კი მოაკვარახჭინა და სანქციებს ასცდა. მერე მთავარი ბიტკოინმტრის ქვეყნიდან გასვლა, ბოლოს ჯანგველაძის მკვლელობა და ეგაა. ღარიბაშვილმა, როგორც ჩანს, მაქსიმალური აჭრილობის, დროს, აი კალაძესთან გინებნარევი ურთიერთგადაძახილისას, კობახიძისთვის დარტყმის და მყისვე ყაველაშვილის, მდინარაძის და კობახიძისგან მაგარი ცემის დროს, თავი ვერ შეიკავა და გლუვიც მოიხსენია. საკმარისზე მეტია. ფარცხალაძე-რომანოვი მთლად ჯანგველაძის ამბავია. მერე ეს გლუვში ისევე, როგორც ყოველივე, კონვერტირდება კონკრეტულ თანხებში – რადგან ვერ გაამართლეს, რაც აკეთეს დააბრუნონ. ამის უზრუნველსაყოფად ვიღაცები ციხეში, ესენი ტყვეობაში, წაღებულის პატარა ნაწილი ბიუჯეტში, დიდი – გლუვთან. თავისუფლებაზე ჩემი მეზობელი მილიონიანი გირაოთი და შიდა სატუსაღოში, აქაური ჩემი მეზობელი კი, მისი რომეო და ჯუ-ლეიტა არა-ანშური – სევდაში. გლუვის დღის წესრიგის მეორე პუნქტი და მისი მუდმივი ვერ შესრულება მნიშვნელოვნად იწვევს პირველ პუნქტსაც და ზოგადად, გიჟურ აფეთქებებს ნახევარ ნაოჭში. ამ პუნქტს გლუვი ვერ ერევა და ვერც მოერევა. ესაა პროტესტი და რუსთაველი. მერწმუნეთ, ეს ერთი პუნქტი გადაიყოლებს საბოლოოდ რუსული დღის წესრიგის მთელ პაკეტს. მასობრივი გადასახლებისა და დახვრეტების გარეშე ეს პუნქტი ვერ შესრულდება და სულ რომ ყირაზე დადგეს, გამოვლენილ ზედმეტობას გლუვი ვერ მოერევა, რადგან სწორედ ეს მისთვის და რუსებისთვის ზედმეტობა არის საქართველო და ეს ზედმეტობა იბრძვის, არ ნებდება და არც დანებდება. რუსები და ქოცები ხშირად წუხან – ესენი მაიდნის ორგანიზებას ცდილობენო. არადა, ჩვენ, აქეთა ნაპირზე, ჯერ ბოლომდე ვერ ვხდებით, რომ უკვე ერთი წელია გვაქვს ქართული მაიდანი. მე ოთხი შემდგარი მშვიდობიანი რევოლუციის დაგეგმვასა და განხორციელებაში მაქვს მონაწილეობა მიღებული და არც ერთი მათგანი არ იყო მეორეს იდენტური. საერთო მდგენელის – მშვიდობიანი ცვლილებების – მიღმა, ყველა განსხვავებული იყო. აქაც ასეა – აუცილებელი არაა საბურავები იწვოდეს და ნამდვილი ტყვიები დაფრინავდეს. უკრაინული მაიდანი ხომ არ იყო დაკავებული სამთავრობო შენობები, რეჟიმის დატყვევებული წევრები. ეს იყო კონკრეტული ტერიტორია ქვეყნის დედაქალაქის ცენტრში, რომელიც დაიკავეს თავისუფლებისთვის მებრძოლებმა და შეინარჩუნეს მანამ, სანამ რეჟიმი არ გატყდა. ასე, რომ ჩვენ გვაქვს ლოკაციაც – რუსთაველი, პროცესიც – ერთწლიანი პროტესტი და მიზანიც – გაძლება. ჯარიმებს უკვე გავუძელით, პატიმრობებსაც ვუძლებთ. უკრაინელებმა ნამდვილ ტყვიებს გაუძლეს, ჩვენ სასტიკ დარბევებს. პატიმრობა მძიმეა, მაგრამ არა გამოუსწორებელი, ამიტომ გავუძლებთ. მითუმეტეს, როდესაც ქუჩაში მთავარ სიტყვად სოლიდარობა იქცა. სოლიდარობა უზრუნველყოფს პროტესტის უწყვეტობას, უწყვეტობა კი გამარჯვებას!

მაია ომიაძე: “საერთაშორისო ტურიზმიდან მიღებული შემოსავლების ჩვენი პროგნოზი სრულად მართლდება“
ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის ხელმძღვანელმა მაია ომიაძემ წლის პირველი ცხრა თვის შედეგები შეაჯამა. მისი თქმით, ადმინისტრაციის მიერ წლის დასაწყისში დადგენილი 4.7 მილიარდი დოლარის პროგნოზი სრულად რეალიზებადი ჩანს. იანვარი-სექტემბრის პერიოდში საერთაშორისო ტურიზმიდან შემოსავალმა ახალ რეკორდულ მაჩვენებელს მიაღწია და 3.6 მილიარდ აშშ. დოლარს გადააჭარბა და 3,637,761,827 აშშ დოლარი შეადგინა
„ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაცია ტრადიციულად ადგენს პროგნოზებს როგორც კვარტლების, ისე სეზონების მიხედვით. ეს პროგნოზები ეფუძნება გასული წლების მონაცემებსა და საერთაშორისო ტენდენციებს, როგორც საერთაშორისო მოგზაურების, ისე ტურისტული მოგზაურებისა და შემოსავლების ჭრილში, კვლევითი კომპანიების პროგნოზები და ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის შეფასებები ერთმანეთს თითქმის ემთხვევა, რაც მიუთითებს შეფასებების სიზუსტესა და რეალისტურობას. „თუ შევაფასებთ 2019 წლის შემდეგ აღდგენის დინამიკას, საერთაშორისო მოგზაურობების და შემოსავლების თვალსაზრისით, პროგნოზები იძლევა საფუძველს ვთქვათ, რომ მიღწეული შედეგები სრულად შეესაბამება მოლოდინებს. ამ ეტაპზე შეგვიძლია თამამად განვაცხადოთ, რომ 2025 წლის ბოლოსთვის, როდესაც დაიხურება წლის მეოთხე კვარტალი, პროგნოზები სრულად გამართლდება”,-აღნიშნა ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის ხელმძღვანელმა.
მაია ომიაძეს განცხადებით, ტურიზმის ეროვნული ადმინისტრაციის სწორი სტრატეგიისა და სამიზნე ბაზრებზე აქტიური კამპანიების შედეგად, წელს მიღებული შემოსავლები მნიშვნელოვნად აჭარბებს 2019 წლის მონაცემებს.
„მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ საერთაშორისო მოგზაურობების რაოდენობა ჯერ კიდევ აღდგენის პროცესშია, ტურიზმიდან მიღებული შემოსავლები მნიშვნელოვნად აღემატება 2019 წლის დონეს. ეს შედეგი ნათლად აჩვენებს, რომ ჩვენი სტრატეგია, რომელიც მაღალმხარჯველი ტურისტების მოზიდვაზე ორიენტაცია, სრულად ამართლებს ჩვენს მოლოდინებს. შესაძლოა, მოგზაურების რაოდენობა შედარებით ნაკლები იყოს, თუმცა თითოეული მათგანი ბევრად მეტ თანხას ხარჯავს საქართველოში,“ — აღნიშნა ომიაძემ.

„ჩინეთს საქართველოში ინვესტიციის ჩადება ტურიზმის კუთხითაც სურს“ – „ვიჯეთი“

29 October 2025 at 00:09

კომპანია “ვიჯეთის” გენერალური დირექტორის, ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილის ინფორმაციით, ჩინეთს საქართველოში ინვესტიციის ჩადება არა მარტო, ბიზნესის მიმართულებით, არამედ ტურიზმის კუთხითაც სურს.
როგორც გადაცემა “ბიზნესპარტნიორში” ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილი აღნიშნავს, ჩინეთისთვის საქართველო მარტივი გზაა, რომ ევროპისკენ “გაიჭრას”.
“არამარტო ჩვენი, არამედ მათი ინტერესიც ძალიან მაღალია – საქართველოში ჩამოსვლის სურვილი აქვთ. უკვე რამდენიმე შემთხვევა გვქონდა, იქაური (ჩინური) ქარხნების წარმომადგენლობა ჩვენს ქვეყანაში ჩამოვიდნენ, ადგილობრივი გარემო ვაჩვენეთ, ინვესტიციის სურვილი აქვთ.
ჩინეთისთვის ინვესტიციის ერთ-ერთი მიმართულება ტურიზმი გახლავთ, რომ საქართველოში ჩამოვიდნენ, როგორც ბიზნესის კუთხით, ასევე ტურისტულად. ზოგადად, ჩინეთში ბოლო 3-4 წელია საერთაშორისო ბიზნესს უფრო აქტიურად უყურებენ. საქართველო მეტ ინტერესს იმით იპყრობს, რომ მათთვის ჩვენი ქვეყანაა მარტივი გზაა, რომ ევროპისკენ გაიჭრან. სურთ აქ დააფუძნონ ის ჰაბი, საიდანაც თავიანთი პროდუქციის ექსპორტი მოხდება”, – აცხადებს ლაშა ფეიქრიშვილი.
ამასთან, კომპანია “ვიჯეთის” გენერალური დირექტორი მსოფლიოში ცნობილი საერთაშორისო კომპანია Alibaba-ს შესახებაც საუბრობს და აღნიშნავს, რომ თავისუფლად შეიძლება, საქართველოში Alibaba-მ ტერმინალი გააკეთოს.
“საერთაშორისო პლატფორმა TEMU საქართველოში შემოვიდა და ჩვენი ქვეყანა ჰაბად იქცა. კერძოდ, ტერმინალები აქ შენდება და ჩვენგან პროდუქციის გარეთ გატანა იგეგმება. შესაბამისად, თავისუფლად შეიძლება, ტერმინალი Alibaba-მაც გააკეთოს, ამ ყველაფერზე აქტიურად ვმუშაობთ, ინტერესი მათი მხრიდან ძალიან მაღალია – მგონია, რომ ყველაფერი გამოვა. ამასთან, Alibaba ქართული ნაწარმის გამოფენას არ ზღუდავს, შესაბამისად, საქართველოში თუ მათი პლატფორმა მოექცა, ქართველებს თავიანთი პროდუქციის ექსპორტზე გატანა ბევრად მეტად შეეძლებათ – პროდუქციას ბევრად მაღალ ღირებულებაში გაყიდიან”, – აღნიშნავს კომპანიის გენერალური დირექტორი.
ცნობისთვის, კომპანია Alibaba Group Holding Limited (ალიბაბა ჯგუფი) — მსოფლიოში ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე დიდი და გავლენიანი ტექნოლოგიური და სავაჭრო კომპანიაა, რომელიც ჩინეთში 1999 წელს დაარსდა.
შეგახსენებთ, რომ “ვიჯეთი” გადამზიდი კომპანიაა, რომლის მიზანი სატრანსპორტო ბაზარზე მომხმარებლებისთვის სერვისის მიწოდებაა.

„რეგიონული სამსახურების თანამშრომლებთან გამართულ შეხვედრებზე მიმდინარე საქმიანობის, სამომავლო გეგმების, ასევე, საჭიროებების და გამოწვევების შესახებ ვიღებთ ინფორმაციას. ვფიქრობთ, უახლოეს მომავალში, ჩვენი რეგიონული სამსახურები სრულად დააკმაყოფილებს სტანდარტებს და ეფექტიანი ფუნქციონირებისთვის ყველა საჭირო პირობა იქნება უზრუნველყოფილი“, -განაცხადა მინისტრმა.

&quot;Kupowanie rosyjskiej ropy to fundowanie śmierci i zniszczenia&quot;. Senator Graham o Węgrzech, Turcji i Słowacji

Wpływowy amerykański senator Lindsey Graham ostro skrytykował Węgry, Turcję i Słowację za podważanie sankcji nałożonych na rosyjską ropę. W swoim oświadczeniu nazwał kupowanie surowca od Rosji "fundowaniem terroryzmu, śmierci i zniszczenia". To kolejna odsłona narastającej presji Waszyngtonu na kraje, które wciąż importują ropę z Rosji, a temat ten ma być jednym z kluczowych podczas nadchodzącego spotkania liderów USA i Węgier, Donalda Trumpa i Viktora Orbana.

Palisz e-papierosy? Zobacz, co naprawdę dzieje się w Twoich płucach

E-papierosy miały być „zdrowszą” alternatywą dla tradycyjnych papierosów – bez dymu, bez smolistych osadów, bez przykrego zapachu.  W Polsce uzależnienie od nikotyny wciąż stanowi poważny problem zdrowotny. W reklamach przedstawiane są jako zdrowsza, nowoczesna alternatywa dla tradycyjnych papierosów – bez dymu, bez substancji smolistych, bez zapachu. Ale czy naprawdę są bezpieczne? Coraz więcej badań pokazuje, że e-papierosy wcale nie są neutralne dla zdrowia – szczególnie dla płuc i serca.
