Michigan, US, 16th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Ammar Jali, known for dissecting the pulse of places, has completed an expedition to Brač Island, Croatia. This wasn’t a leisure trip but a deep dive into the island’s unvarnished reality, a stark observation of its enduring character, far removed from any idyllic facade. This journey marks a distinct departure from his previous urban explorations, offering a stark, unromanticized glimpse into the understated life of Brač.

Jali’s previous immersions into Split’s ancient yet functioning heart and Zagreb’s quietly introspective soul. They were marked by a quest to understand how history breathes within the present and how cities leave an emotional imprint. In Split, he analyzed Diocletian’s Palace not as a roped-off relic but as a living, breathing urban space, where Roman columns integrated into wine shops and deliveries navigated ancient pathways. Zagreb, in contrast, offered a lesson in slow unveiling, a city that rewarded patience and touched through honesty rather than grandeur.

Brač Island, however, presented a different kind of subject altogether. Here, Jali found no grand historical complexes actively housing contemporary life, nor the introspective hum of a capital city. Instead, he encountered a landscape defined by its rugged authenticity, reliance on ancient trades, and a local life that proceeds with an almost stoic indifference to external perception.

His exploration began not with a predetermined itinerary, but with a deliberate choice to disengage from the typical tourist gaze. Jali’s interest lay in the island’s foundational industries. He observed the ubiquitous presence of Brač stone, not as a decorative element, but as the very bedrock of the island’s economy and identity. He spent time in quarries, witnessing the raw extraction process, and in workshops, noting the precise, unhurried craftsmanship passed down through generations. No romantic narrative spun around the stone; it was simply a material, a livelihood.

Venturing into the island’s interior, Jali encountered olive groves that stretched for miles, their gnarled trees a testament to centuries of cultivation. His engagement with local olive oil production was purely empirical: observing the harvest, the pressing, and the simple, unadorned packaging. He noted the absence of elaborate branding or marketing; the quality of the oil spoke for itself, a product of direct labour and traditional methods. Similarly, he explored the island’s sheep farming and cheese production, observing the pragmatic cycles of animal husbandry and the straightforward process of cheese making, devoid of any performative elements for visitors.

His culinary experiences on Brač further solidified this objective perspective. Meals were taken in unassuming konobas, Croatian taverns serving local dishes like grilled fish, stews, and risottos. The dishes were robust, dictated by seasonal availability and local agricultural output, not by international palates. Grilled lamb, local cheeses, and simple vegetable preparations formed the core of his diet. Jali noted the unhurried service and the portions that reflected practical sustenance, not an indulgence. The food, he observed, was a direct expression of the island’s resources and traditions, without attempting to “tell a story”.

Jali deliberately sought the island’s small, functional ports and fishing villages. He observed the daily routines of fishermen, the mending of nets, and the unloading of catches. These were not picturesque scenes staged for visitors, but essential activities for the island’s sustenance. The interaction between locals was direct, their conversations pragmatic, centred on the day’s work and the sea’s conditions.

His journey to Brač was not about finding emotional resonance or grand conclusions, as in Zagreb. Nor was it about observing the “continuity” of urban life, as in Split. Instead, Brač offered a stark clarity, a testament to an existence fundamentally intertwined with its immediate environment. The island did not attempt to present itself as anything other than what it is: a place where life is lived with quiet, unyielding practicality, shaped by its landscape and enduring traditions.

Ammar Jali’s time on Brač Island underscores his enduring commitment to understanding places on their terms, stripping away preconceived notions and observing the raw essence of their functionality. His findings provide a compelling, unvarnished portrait of an island that thrives not on spectacle but on its steadfast adherence to its roots.

Nova Scotia, Canada, 16th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Marine technology entrepreneur and ocean conservation advocate Mark Andrew Kozlowski is using the momentum from a recent feature article on his work to rally support for sustainable, data-driven ocean solutions. In the interview, Kozlowski shares his journey from building underwater robots as a boy in Nova Scotia to founding Blue Horizon Technologies, an AI-powered marine innovation company with a global impact.

Now, he’s urging the public—especially in coastal and river cities like London—to take action.

“You don’t need a billion pounds or a PhD to start solving real problems,” says Kozlowski. “You need time, tools, and a reason to care.”

The Challenge: Why Ocean Innovation Matters Now

The Blue Economy—economic activity tied to oceans, coasts, and waterways—is valued at over £3.2 trillion globally and supports more than 3 billion people. Yet, according to the UN, 90% of marine fish stocks are overexploited or at their limits. Rising sea levels threaten millions of homes across the UK and beyond.

Kozlowski believes the solutions lie not just with policymakers or corporations, but with ordinary people, schools, and grassroots efforts.

“We need more citizen science, more local stewardship, more hands-on engagement,” he says. “The sea can’t just be seen as a backdrop. It’s part of our home—and our future.”

What He’s Advocating For

Drawing from his personal story and Blue Horizon’s international projects, Kozlowski is pushing for three core actions:

1. Integrate ocean literacy into education systems.
   “Every child should meet the ocean before they grow up afraid of it,” he says. His foundation funds school trips and community workshops that teach practical marine science.

2. Support low-impact infrastructure in coastal cities.
   He points to projects that use living shorelines, not concrete walls, to prevent erosion while restoring marine habitats.

3. Leverage data and open-source tools.
   “We gave Chilean fishers real-time data on where the fish would be—and it changed everything,” he explains. His team wants more communities to have access to affordable monitoring tech.

A Global Message with Local Impact

Although Kozlowski’s work spans five continents, his approach is deeply local. Whether it’s Nova Scotia or London, he says the key is blending science with lived experience.

“The Thames has its own voice. The North Sea has patterns. We just need better ears to listen,” he says. “Innovation doesn’t always look like Silicon Valley. Sometimes it looks like a teenager in a tide pool with a phone and a sketchpad.”

His feature interview highlights how London’s tech scene, riverfront developments, and climate resilience plans could benefit from this more grounded, nature-informed approach.

Take the First Step Toward Ocean Action

Mark Andrew Kozlowski isn’t asking people to wait for top-down change. He’s inviting individuals, educators, and small businesses to act now:

• Educators can bring marine science into classrooms with tide pool visits or local water testing projects.
  

• Startups and designers can explore eco-friendly materials and smart marine sensors.
  

• Residents can advocate for green infrastructure along their rivers, beaches, and canals.
  

• Everyone can learn more about the Blue Economy and share that knowledge in their own communities.

“The more we understand the sea, the better we’ll treat it—and the better it will treat us,” he concludes.

Quebec-based producer urges creators to protect cultural identity while forging global partnerships from development onward

Montreal, QC, 16th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As global streaming platforms increasingly turn to non-English content to meet growing demand, Quebec-based film producer Brandon St-Jacques is calling for a shift in how local creators approach international partnerships. His message: cultural specificity should be a strength, not a limitation—and international collaboration should begin at the development stage, not after the cameras roll.

“What resonates globally often is the local,” says St-Jacques. “The accents, the rituals, the architecture—those are what give a story its edge. We don’t need to erase them to reach a bigger audience. We need to build around them.”

The call comes in response to rapid changes in global viewing habits. In 2023, over 58% of Netflix’s most-watched original content was non-English. South Korean, Spanish, German, and French-language series have proven that audiences are more open than ever to subtitles—and to unfamiliar cultures, provided the story connects.

“People used to think international success meant speaking English or sanding off cultural detail,” St-Jacques explains. “But look at Lupin, Dark, or Money Heist. They were local first—and global second.”

The Missed Opportunity: Late-Stage Partnerships

St-Jacques warns that many Canadian and Quebecois productions miss out on international success by waiting too long to bring global partners on board.

“Too often, producers secure international support only after the script is locked and casting is done,” he says. “At that point, you’re just asking for money. What you really want is creative collaboration—someone who helps shape the vision and bring global insight early on.”

He points to one of his recent projects, where partnering with a Belgian co-producer during early development opened doors to new financing tools, festival access, and a European audience—without diluting the Quebecois story.

Key Figures Driving the Message

• $11.5 billion was invested in non-English content by global streamers in 2023 alone (Ampere Analysis)

• Only 6% of Canadian screenwriters identify as Francophone, highlighting the need for greater investment in talent development to sustain Quebec’s content pipeline (WGC Diversity Report)

• Canadian series still represent less than 1.5% of global Netflix content, despite strong local production capacity

Brandon’s Call to Action: What Creators Can Do

St-Jacques urges writers, directors, and producers to take ownership of both their cultural voice and their international ambitions—starting with three simple shifts in approach:

1. Think globally at the concept stage.

Ask: Who is this story for—beyond our borders? What universal themes does it tap into?

2. Make international contacts early.

Festivals, incubators, and co-production markets are not just for pitching—they’re for listening, learning, and finding creative allies.

3. Respect your cultural markers.

Don’t erase what makes the story unique. If it’s local slang, keep it. If it’s a setting only locals would recognise, amplify it.

“We need to stop treating cultural identity as a hurdle,” says St-Jacques. “It’s actually our ticket in. That’s what makes stories stand out.”

Looking Ahead

With more global buyers investing in regional voices, St-Jacques believes the time is right for Canadian creatives—particularly in Quebec—to lead the way in high-quality, culturally rich international co-productions.

“We have the talent. We have the stories. What we need is strategy—and the confidence to believe that our local voice belongs on a global stage.”

Pennsylvania, US, 16th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the bustling world of modern veterinary medicine, where technological innovation often dominates headlines, Dr. Eugene Aversa, DVM, offers a refreshing reminder: the most important tool in animal care is still compassion. With over 24 years of experience as a General Practice Small Animal Veterinarian, Dr. Aversa has built a distinguished career through his technical mastery in diagnostics, surgery, medicine, and anesthesia and by consistently placing the needs of animals at the center of everything he does.

Earning his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from The Ohio State University in 1998, Dr. Aversa’s professional foundation was laid early. But his passion for animal welfare traces back even further. Growing up in a family that quietly practiced compassion: his father caring for stray cats and his great-grandmother and her brother advocating for animal wellbeing. Dr. Aversa inherited a deep reverence for the creatures who often have no voice.

From rescuing a pig named Emma post-surgery and giving her a safe sanctuary, to saving Gulliver, a horse once destined for slaughter, Dr. Aversa’s actions reflect a devotion far beyond clinical obligations. That same commitment informs every consultation, surgery, and treatment he performs today.

The Silent Epidemic in Veterinary Medicine: Ear Infections

One of the most common yet chronically misunderstood ailments Dr. Aversa encounters in practice is ear infections, particularly in dogs. These infections may seem like minor inconveniences, but according to Dr. Aversa, they’re often much more than just a nuisance.

“Ear infections can make animals absolutely miserable,” Dr. Aversa explains. “Imagine your ears itching, aching, or feeling full, but you can’t say a word about it. That’s the reality for so many pets.”

Dr. Aversa sees ear infections as a diagnostic challenge and an ethical imperative. While some cases are easily resolved with a course of medicated drops, others can become chronic or resistant if not properly addressed. That’s where his experience, and patient-centered philosophy, shine.

Understanding the Cause is the Key to the Cure

Dogs, far more frequently than cats, suffer from ear infections due to a range of causes: allergies, moisture from swimming, small ear canals, excessive fur, or floppy ear flaps that hinder air flow. Certain breeds, Dr. Aversa notes, are repeat offenders.

“Labradors are swimmers, Cocker Spaniels have dense, furry ear flaps, and smaller breeds often have ear canals packed with hair,” he says. “All these characteristics increase the risk.”

Cats, while less commonly affected, are not immune. Outdoor cats are particularly vulnerable to ear mites and traumatic injuries, while some may also suffer allergy-induced infections.

Dr. Aversa emphasizes early detection. “If you notice head shaking, persistent scratching, redness, swelling, or an unpleasant odor, don’t wait. Bring them in. Early intervention can spare your pet a lot of pain and save you a lot of money.”

Why Treatment Isn’t Always Straightforward

For a first-time or occasional ear infection, treatment is often relatively simple. Dr. Aversa performs in-house tests to determine whether the infection is caused by yeast, bacteria, or mites, and prescribes medication accordingly. In many cases, the issue resolves quickly.

But when infections become chronic or recurrent, the stakes rise. Years of repeated antibiotic use can lead to bacterial resistance. Thickened or scarred ear canals may no longer allow for easy medication. And sometimes, the dog simply becomes uncooperative.

“Imagine someone trying to squeeze ointment in your painful ear every day,” says Dr. Aversa. “It’s exhausting for the dog and the owner.”

In such cases, long-acting treatments administered in-office can be a game-changer. These allow a veterinarian to apply medication directly into the ear once, eliminating the need for daily applications and improving compliance and outcomes.

More Than Medicine: Root Cause Analysis

“Treating the symptoms without addressing the cause is like putting a bucket under a leak instead of fixing the roof,” says Dr. Aversa.

That’s why he digs deeper when infections persist. He explores food and seasonal allergies, hygiene routines, resistance patterns, and even lifestyle factors. Dietary trials using hypoallergenic food, evaluations of home cleaning routines, or reconsideration of ear fur plucking may all become part of the care plan.

“Plucking ear fur can sometimes help, but I’ve seen it cause more harm than good when done routinely,” he warns. “We only recommend it when we know it’s truly necessary.”

He also acknowledges the emotional toll long-standing issues can take on pet owners. “People feel helpless, frustrated, guilty. Part of my job is helping them understand what’s going on and that we have a plan.”

Ethical Practice: A Lifelong Commitment

Dr. Aversa’s care doesn’t stop at the clinic door. He has long donated his services to a sanctuary for aging dogs and continually fosters an environment where compassion leads clinical decisions.

While many practitioners focus exclusively on diagnostics and treatment, Dr. Aversa also champions education and advocacy. From creating a weekly television show about shelter animals in his early years, to marching for animal rights, his dedication extends far beyond exam rooms.

Even in veterinary school, Dr. Aversa’s ethical stance stood out. He opted for a naturally deceased pony for his neuro-dissection project rather than using an animal euthanized for the task; displaying an unwavering commitment to humane learning.

At Home with the Rescues

Outside of work, Dr. Aversa lives a life shaped by the same compassion he brings to his clinic. He shares his home with a unique blend of rescued companions: Mel, Martha, Jaime, Freddie, and Figaro, all animals who, in some way, represent his personal mission to offer second chances.

These animals are not just pets; they’re reminders of what is possible when one chooses kindness over convenience. From bottle-feeding newborn kittens to rehabilitating injured strays, Dr. Aversa’s home is a sanctuary.

Conclusion: A Voice for the Voiceless

Dr. Eugene Aversa stands as a testament to what veterinary medicine can and should look like. His deep knowledge, ethical rigor, and heartfelt connection to animals make him more than a veterinarian; he’s a guardian, a healer, and an advocate.

As ear infections and other chronic conditions continue to affect pets everywhere, Dr. Aversa’s approach offers hope: a blend of science and soul, experience and empathy.

His message to pet owners? “Trust your instincts. If something seems wrong, speak up for your pet. And find a vet who listens not just with their ears, but with their heart.”

Lier, Flanders, 17th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As renewed international tariffs and escalating trade tensions send ripples through global markets, most traditional investment strategies have struggled to adapt. In contrast, Sandford Blair Capital, an ECB-regulated quantitative investment firm headquartered in Belgium, has emerged as a standout performer—leveraging volatility as a catalyst for short-term returns.

Founded over two decades ago and operating with an additional office in London, Sandford Blair has built its reputation on systematic, high-frequency trading strategies designed to thrive in unstable environments. While trade-related uncertainty has rattled equity markets and disrupted cross-border investment flows, the firm’s algorithmic models have turned unpredictability into profit.

Turning Trade Shocks Into Alpha

The current wave of international tariff escalations—targeting multiple regions and sectors—has created sharp dislocations in equity, currency, and commodity markets. These disruptions, while challenging for trend-based and long-term strategies, have created ideal conditions for Sandford Blair’s data-driven approach.

Specializing in scalp trading, the firm executes thousands of short-duration trades daily, capturing micro-movements driven by sudden market reactions to policy headlines, shifting supply chains, and liquidity shocks. Its models are designed to identify inefficiencies in real-time and respond instantly—without relying on forecasts or discretionary judgment.

As global investors retreat to safe-haven assets or struggle to reallocate portfolios in reaction to rapidly changing tariffs and countermeasures, Sandford Blair’s consistent performance has attracted increasing attention from both institutional and high-net-worth clients seeking non-correlated returns.

Regulatory Strength Meets Technological Edge

Operating under the supervision of the European Central Bank, Sandford Blair combines regulatory rigor with advanced execution capabilities. This dual focus has helped reinforce investor confidence in a time where trust, transparency, and oversight are becoming more important than ever.

The firm’s infrastructure supports trading across global markets while maintaining strict risk controls and execution efficiency—key requirements in periods of geopolitical and economic turbulence.

Managed Growth and Capacity Discipline

While demand for the firm’s strategies has grown significantly in 2025, Sandford Blair continues to operate under a controlled-growth model. Due to the sensitivity of its trading systems to liquidity and execution scale, the firm has capped new inflows to maintain performance stability.

This approach has allowed Sandford Blair to preserve the integrity of its trading models and avoid the performance dilution that often comes with rapid scaling—an increasingly rare discipline in today’s performance-chasing environment.

Positioned for a Shifting Global Landscape

With global trade dynamics expected to remain fluid in the months ahead, market volatility shows no sign of retreat. Many financial institutions remain reactive, caught off guard by unpredictable tariff decisions and policy reversals. Sandford Blair Capital, however, appears well-positioned for the road ahead—armed with systems that don’t rely on calm conditions, but rather excel in chaos.

As macroeconomic uncertainty continues to reshape the investment landscape, Sandford Blair’s quantitative strategies offer a compelling alternative for investors seeking resilience, responsiveness, and regulation-backed confidence.

Minnesota, US, 16th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Wolf River Electric, a 100% employee-owned renewable energy company, is proud to be featured in a new spotlight article titled “From Grassroots to Grid Power: The Story of Wolf River Electric.” The piece highlights the company’s journey from a local startup to a regional leader in clean energy, with a message that goes beyond solar panels: education and transparency must drive the energy transition.

In response to the article, Wolf River Electric is launching a renewed public awareness push across Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, encouraging homeowners and businesses to educate themselves about solar energy, even before talking to an installer.

“We weren’t trying to build an empire,” said a founding team member quoted in the piece. “We were just trying to help our neighbors save money and do something good for the planet.”

Why Education Comes First

Wolf River Electric believes that solar success starts with knowledge. With energy costs rising and misinformation growing, the company wants to help people make confident, informed decisions.

“There’s a lot of noise in this industry. A lot of big promises,” said a team member. “We try to cut through that by sticking to what we know and being clear with customers.”

The company’s model includes free consultations, tailored energy analyses, and community-based info sessions that walk people through how solar works, what incentives apply in their area, and whether solar is even the right fit for them.

The Urgent Need for Smarter Energy Decisions

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, residential energy use accounts for roughly 20% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. With Midwest winters and high seasonal demand, homes in this region can benefit significantly from energy efficiency and solar adoption.

Wolf River Electric’s mission is to empower the region, not overwhelm it.

“We always said, ‘No surprises.’ If there’s a delay, we explain why. If there’s a better option, we suggest it—even if it costs less.”

Today, the company supports over 150 employee-owners, has installed thousands of systems across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota, and continues to expand its outreach.

Real Change Starts at the Community Level

The company is especially focused on reaching rural and underserved communities, where barriers to energy education are often highest.

“Some of our most rewarding projects have been in remote areas,” said a design lead. “We’ve helped families become energy-independent when they thought it wasn’t possible.”

By offering off-grid options, battery storage systems, and smart energy planning, the company aims to remove barriers and misconceptions around renewable power.

What You Can Do Today

Wolf River Electric is urging people to take three simple steps to better understand their energy options:

1. Ask Questions – Whether you’re just curious or seriously considering solar, reach out to a local provider or attend an information session.

2. Check Your Roof and Bills – Learn how much energy you use and whether your property is a good candidate for solar.

3. Stay Informed – Energy policy is changing. Subscribe to updates from trusted sources like state energy offices or the Department of Energy.

“You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to ask the right questions,” the team emphasized. “Start small. Learn by doing.”
