Jameson Launches Air Boost Add-On for Award-Winning Fiber Driver
Clover, SC July 24, 2025 --( )-- Jameson, a trusted leader in professional-grade telecom installation tools, announces the launch of the Air Boost, a pneumatic add-on that amplifies the power and reach of its award-winning Fiber Driver, specifically for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations. The Fiber Driver with Air Boost is engineered to solve one of the most demanding challenges in FTTH work: pushing fiber through high-friction conduit runs that include multiple bends and elevation changes. While the Fiber Driver delivers powerful mechanical performance on its own, the Air Boost provides added pneumatic force to complete difficult drops faster and with less installer effort. 'Air Boost was designed for real-world FTTH jobs where traditional hand-pushing fails or stalls,' said Nick Skrobot, CEO at Jameson. 'It's not a replacement for fiber blowing systems—it's a high-efficiency upgrade that works in tandem with the Fiber Driver to keep crews moving.' Built for FTTH Fiber Drops The Air Boost was purpose-built for residential fiber installations—not long-haul or enterprise-scale blowing operations. In field testing, the Fiber Driver with Air Boost completed a 200-foot conduit run with four 90-degree bends in just 32 seconds. These results highlight its ability to overcome the toughest installation conditions while dramatically improving speed and efficiency. In ideal conditions, the system is capable of pushing fiber thousands of feet. Key Features: - Works only with the Fiber Driver—not a standalone tool - Combines mechanical and pneumatic power for enhanced performance - Excels in tight, friction-heavy conduit with multiple bends - Supports 10mm–19mm micro ducts and run lengths up to 500 feet or more - Quick to set up, rugged in the field, and easy to maintain - Operates with standard 90–175 PSI air compressors - Includes a full kit of conduit and fiber insert sizes for maximum versatility Smart Tools for Smarter Installs Jameson's original Fiber Driver earned the Silver ISE Network Innovators Award for its field-ready design and impact on FTTH workflows. With the addition of Air Boost, installers gain even more power to complete fiber runs quickly, cleanly, and with fewer labor demands. The Fiber Driver with Air Boost Kit (Part #18-FFK1) is now available through authorized Jameson distributors.

What Does It Take to Become a Business Leader and Peacemaker? Avi Shaked's Gripping New Memoir, 'The Greater the Risk,' Reveals the Answer
Tel Aviv, Israel July 22, 2025 --( )-- From the scaffolds of construction sites to the global tech stage—and eventually, to the frontlines of Middle East peace negotiations—entrepreneur and visionary Avi Shaked has lived a life defined by courage, conviction, and calculated risk. His new memoir, 'The Greater the Risk: The Improbable Rise of an Israeli International Business Leader and Peacemaker,' is now available worldwide. This extraordinary true story follows Shaked's ascent from modest beginnings in Israel to his role as co-founder of online gaming giant (now EvokePlc), a publicly traded company employing over 12,000 people across the globe. But Shaked's journey didn't stop with business success. Using his wealth and influence, he took on an even greater challenge: pursuing peace between Israelis and Palestinians. In 'The Greater the Risk,' Shaked recounts his bold decision to fund and help draft the Geneva Accord signed in 2003, and his offer of $1 billion to the Palestinian government in support of a historic peace initiative. Against the backdrop of geopolitical conflict, family upheaval, and high-stakes entrepreneurship, Shaked's memoir is a rollercoaster of ambition, resilience, and purpose. 'Avi Shaked's gripping story is that of an Israeli who bridged the worlds of international business and peace-building—a particularly compelling subject given Israel's complex position in both global commerce and Middle Eastern diplomacy. The combination of business acumen and peacemaking efforts in one individual's story offers unique insights into how economic relationships can potentially serve diplomatic ends.' —Yoram Dori, biography writer and former strategic advisor to Israel's President Shimon Peres A #1 Amazon Bestseller in Historical Middle Eastern Biographies, 'The Greater the Risk' is more than a memoir—it's a timely call to action. It challenges readers to believe that with perseverance, vision, and a willingness to act for the greater good, even the most daunting obstacles can be transformed into opportunities for lasting change. Avi Shaked's life embodies this belief. A graduate of Ben-Gurion University, Shaked has led ventures across telecommunications, online gaming, and digital innovation. In 2025, he became chairman of Israel's 'Together We Succeed' party, championing equality and coexistence between Jews and Arabs. His goal in founding the party is to become Israel's next Prime Minister—and the leader who brings an end to the conflicts with Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. Avi's memoir offers rare insights into the personal convictions behind his professional achievements—and the risks he took to make a meaningful difference. Distributed by Bublish, Inc., 'The Greater the Risk' is available in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers. eBook ISBN: 979-8-899890-03-1 – $0.99 Paperback ISBN: 979-8-899890-04-8 – $19.99 Hardcover ISBN: 979-8-899890-05-5 – $29.99 Audiobook ISBN: 979-8-899890-06-2 – coming soon Multiple language editions will be available starting fall 2025!

SeedList Launching Institutional Crypto Crowdfunding Project to Empower Retail Investors and Disrupt the VC-Dominated Crypto Fundraising Landscape
Singapore, Singapore July 18, 2025 --( )-- SeedList, the industry-disruptive crypto crowdfunding platform hailed as the 'Robinhood' of crypto fundraising, today announced the official launch of its crypto project. Its business model is designed to complement that of industry leaders like CoinList, Republic & TokenSoft but targets non-U.S. clients and users. The SeedList launch will mark a pivotal shift in how digital assets are funded and who benefits from their success. SeedList's mission is clear: to dismantle the entrenched venture capital (VC) gatekeeping system that has long exploited retail investors and to decentralize investment power by rewarding real contributors, Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), strategic partners, and engaged retail investors. Retail Investors Have Been Left Behind For years, retail investors have been relegated to the bottom of a pyramid-shaped capital stack, often serving as exit liquidity for early-stage VCs and insiders who secure massive allocations at rock-bottom valuations. The result has been widespread retail losses, disillusionment, and a broken system that contradicts crypto's founding promise of democratized finance. 'The crypto ecosystem promised financial empowerment for the many, but instead, retail investors have been repeatedly shortchanged, used as exit liquidity for VC firms focused on rapid exits and short-term gains,' said Rosa Pagani, SeedList Co-Founder. ' SeedList will remove VCs from the center of the equation entirely, decentralizing investment and putting financial power back into the hands of the people who actually build, promote, and sustain these projects, KOLs & value-add retail investors.' A New Narrative: From rapid-exit VCs to Meritocratic Access Legacy platforms have pushed the boundaries in our industry, innovating and enabling many crowdfunding crypto launches but have largely perpetuated a system favoring institutional insiders. 'These platforms often prioritize U.S.-based VCs, impose inflated valuations on retail investors, and offer limited upside, resulting in large retail losses and eroding trust,' said Brijesh Patel, one of SeedList's other co-founders. Brijesh continues, 'We are witnessing a critical movement away from the old VC narrative. SeedList flips this by rewarding measurable value, community building, technical development, and genuine engagement, ensuring that retail investors and KOLs have meaningful access and upside, and can invest before VCs at the Seed or Pre-Seed round of top 100 target market crypto projects.' Traction and Industry Momentum The crypto fundraising market is evolving rapidly. Existing platforms have launched over 50 projects since 2018, including landmark projects like Solana, Filecoin, Near, Flow, and Shardeum. They have now launched or plan to launch nearly 100 projects in the next year, including WalletConnect ($10mm on 4 launchpads including CoinList, Binance Launchpad, & Echo). Yet, despite this growth by these industry innovators, retail investors remain underserved and undervalued, said CryptoSheldon, Co-Founder of SeedList. He continues, 'We see growing demand for platforms that prioritize transparency, fairness, and real-world impact. SeedList's AI-driven meritocratic allocation system and international, non-U.S. focus position us uniquely to capture this momentum and deliver a better experience for retail investors and project founders alike.' SeedList's Differentiated Business Model Unlike competitors, SeedList will be designed to eliminate VC gatekeeping by using proprietary AI to dynamically adjust SAFT allocation based on measurable contributions rather than passive capital. Its curated ecosystem will connect projects with a vetted network of KOLs, strategic partners, and Tier 1 exchanges, accelerating project launches and aligning incentives across the board. Features include: - Merit-Based Allocation: Dynamic, AI-powered assessment of community impact, technical contributions, and marketing efforts - Retail Empowerment: Early access and fair pricing for retail investors, micro-influencers, and power users - International Focus: Serving non-U.S. markets to reduce regulatory friction and broaden access (KYC required) Industry-Wide Impact SeedList's launch will represent a fundamental shift in crypto fundraising, challenging the dominance of previous crypto crowdfunding platforms. By flattening the capital stack and rewarding real contributors, SeedList will offer a sustainable and inclusive model that benefits projects, investors, and the broader ecosystem. About SeedList SeedList is an in-development crypto project that intends to launch an institutional-grade, AI-powered crypto crowdfunding platform designed to empower the individuals and organizations that drive real project success. Backed by a team with deep expertise from leading global exchanges, venture capital, and Web3 projects, SeedList is setting a new standard for meritocratic, transparent, and large-scale crypto fundraising. With management from leading global exchanges and venture capital, and connections to industry leaders including Binance, a16z, Coinbase, Gemini, WhiteBIT, and AngelList/CoinList, SeedList intends to combine the rigor of traditional investment banking with the agility of decentralized finance, setting a new industry standard for meritocratic, transparent large-scale capital raising for top-100 target market crypto projects.

Before It Was a Buzzword: L'Auberge Invites Guests to Experience Its Farm-to-Table Legacy
White Post, VA July 18, 2025 --( )-- For over 40 years, L'Auberge Provençale Inn and Restaurant has been a pioneer of farm-to-table dining in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. In recent years, they've expanded their culinary ecosystem journey beyond cultivated farms and orchards, inviting guests to explore a deeper connection to the land through foraging, wild harvesting, and rediscovering native ingredients. On September 13, 2025, L'Auberge will host a foraging class led by Professor of Appalachian Foodways, Clay Morris. Additional class dates will be posted on the website as they are available. Each guided outing explores the Shenandoah Valley's native plants, their culinary uses, and the cultural stories rooted in the land. It is a rare, hands-on experience that brings the farm-to-table philosophy to life. 'When people talk about foraging, they tend to think just mushrooms,' says Morris. 'But it's so much more than that.' With deep knowledge of cultural food traditions, Morris shares ways indigenous peoples and early settlers relied on native plants for survival. 'People want a story with their food,' he adds. 'And the land is where that story begins.' After the morning foraging excursion, participants return to the inn for a multi-course luncheon, where Chef Alex Sakelakos transforms the wild ingredients into refined dishes. Each course is paired by sommelier Christian Borel with selections from L'Auberge's award-winning wine cellar, creating a full-circle culinary experience from field to fork. For those unable to attend a foraging class, dining at L'Auberge Provençale still offers a genuine farm-to-table experience year-round. Each day begins with what's growing just steps from the kitchen garden. 'The menu always starts with the produce,' says Chef Sakelakos. 'We're harvesting and processing the same day.' What the team doesn't grow themselves comes from a network of trusted local farms. These include Chilly Hollow Vegetable Farm, Baker's Farm, Whiffletree Farm, Marker-Miller Orchards, and Mackintosh Fruit Farm. The team also visits area farmers' markets for seasonal extras. And thanks to Clay Morris, wild-foraged ingredients make frequent appearances on the menu as well. This ingredient-driven philosophy is reflected in every dish, whether served in the elegant main dining room or the inn's more casual bistro. 'We serve fine dining, yes,' says co-owner Celeste Borel, 'but it's never pretentious.' Guests can expect Michelin-level cuisine grounded in seasonal ingredients, complemented by gracious service and an exceptional wine and bourbon selection. Dining at L'Auberge is a sensory and visual delight that celebrates both flavor and atmosphere. About L'Auberge Provençale: L'Auberge Provençale offers an authentic Provençale experience in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. This romantic bed and breakfast features elegant guest rooms, gracious service, and an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant that celebrates seasonal ingredients and regional flavors.
