DENVER, Colorado, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —AIXA Miner, a global leader in sustainable cloud mining solutions, has officially launched a new set of high-yield Bitcoin (BTC) cloud mining contracts, developed under its ongoing green energy initiative. The update comes as Bitcoin experiences one of its most significant price surges to date, exceeding $123,000 in July 2025—a milestone driven by increased investor participation and growing regulatory transparency in the digital asset space.
With this announcement, AIXA Miner continues to advance its mission of providing intelligent, secure, and environmentally conscious access to crypto income. The newly released contracts allow users to leverage current market momentum through automated daily BTC rewards, without the need to purchase, configure, or manage mining hardware.
“This is a defining moment for digital asset adoption, and our platform is designed to help everyday users and professional investors participate with confidence,” said a spokesperson from AIXA Miner’s Product Operations Team. “As prices rally and interest spikes, our new green-powered BTC contracts make it easier than ever to earn sustainably from Bitcoin’s growth.”
The enhanced mining plans are part of AIXA Miner’s broader initiative to decentralise access to blockchain infrastructure while reducing the environmental impact of crypto mining. These contracts are executed through high-efficiency ASIC machines housed in data centres powered by 100% renewable energy sources—including hydroelectric, wind, and solar—across North America, Southeast Asia, and South America.
The current rise in Bitcoin’s price follows a notable increase in institutional and retail demand, supported by elevated trading activity and a more defined compliance landscape. In this environment, AIXA Miner’s platform stands out by offering real-time mining performance, smart contract-based automation, and AI-optimized resource allocation to ensure consistent and fair rewards across market cycles.
Unlike speculative trading models, which expose participants to high short-term volatility, AIXA Miner’s approach centers on predictable income through blockchain infrastructure. Once users select a BTC contract, the platform’s intelligent backend handles power routing, network balancing, and reward calculation. Payouts are issued daily through automated smart contracts, giving users full control and transparency over their mining returns.
Each contract tier has been tailored to accommodate a range of participant profiles—from newcomers seeking short-term exposure to experienced users allocating capital over several weeks. The flexible structure includes transparent return models, real-time reporting dashboards, and carbon footprint insights for every contract, making it one of the most comprehensive offerings currently available in the cloud mining sector.
AIXA Miner’s green energy pledge is a cornerstone of its operational strategy. By shifting its mining activities to regions with surplus renewable capacity and adopting energy-efficient cooling technologies, the company ensures that increased mining activity does not come at the cost of environmental degradation. Every data center participating in the new BTC contract suite undergoes energy source verification, with metrics made publicly accessible via the user dashboard.
“Our platform isn’t just built for profits—it’s built for the future,” the spokesperson added. “With AI optimization, renewable energy, and smart automation, we’re offering more than just access to Bitcoin—we’re offering responsible participation in the next generation of financial infrastructure.”
Users can activate BTC cloud mining contracts with minimal effort through AIXA Miner’s mobile-friendly platform. After registering and selecting a contract tier, participants deposit BTC and begin earning rewards within 24 hours. There are no hardware costs, no complex setups, and no recurring maintenance tasks—just a simplified, scalable, and sustainable pathway to digital asset earnings.
The timing of this launch aligns with a surge in long-term interest in blockchain technology. As Bitcoin’s network continues to grow in both usage and public trust, infrastructure-backed platforms like AIXA Miner provide a critical gateway for those who want to earn from the ecosystem without engaging in daily speculation.
The new BTC cloud mining contracts are now live and available to users worldwide. With the market showing strong signals of upward continuation and green infrastructure at the core of operations, AIXA Miner invites participants to explore a smarter, cleaner, and more profitable way to benefit from the digital economy’s most valuable asset.

BEIJING, July 21 (Xinhua) — China on Monday called on the European Union to stop harming the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises without any factual basis, and warned that it will take all necessary measures to protect such rights and interests.
The corresponding statement was made by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, Guo Jiakun, at a daily briefing when he was asked to comment on the new sanctions of the European Union against Russia, affecting a number of Chinese companies and banks.
“I would like to emphasize that China has consistently opposed unilateral restrictive measures that are not based on international law and are not sanctioned by the UN Security Council,” Guo Jiakun said.
Touching on the Ukrainian crisis, the diplomat noted that China has made tireless efforts to promote peace talks, has never supplied lethal weapons to conflicting parties, and exercises strict control over its export of dual-use goods.
Normal business contacts and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be subject to any interference or influence, Guo Jiakun stressed. –0–

7 Breakout Projects Signal the Next Wave of Long-Term Crypto Value
PANAMA CITY, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today released the eighth edition of its Crypto Gem Hunt report, a curated research publication that tracks emerging narratives and promising sectors in the digital asset space. This edition identifies notable trends across categories such as meme coins, GameFi, DeFi, and Layer 1 infrastructure. Rather than short-term speculation, the report emphasizes projects with solid fundamentals, active ecosystems, and long-term growth potential.
The Selected Seven Assets: From Meme Coins and GameFi to DeFi and L1 Narratives
HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt #8 features seven cherry-picked assets from several trending sectors with prosperous narratives. These sectors cover meme coins, GameFi, DeFi and RWA innovations, and public blockchain infrastructure.
L1 Public Chain: Time-Honored Infrastructure, New Catalysts
TRON ($TRX) | Rated S: TRON’s native token $TRX was recently adopted by Nasdaq-listed firm SRM as part of its strategic reserve, making TRON one of the first blockchain networks bridging into U.S. capital markets. This also makes TRON as a battle-tested Layer 1 network with a fresh off-chain narrative. While its price move of +16.7% is modest, its global exposure and off-chain integration signal a longer-term value growth.
Meme Coins: Narrative Continues with Strong Community Backing
BONK ($BONK): As one of Solana’s OG meme coins, $BONK is back in the spotlight, thanks to the Solana ecosystem revival. According to LetsBONK.fun, BONK has surpassed Pump.fun in on-chain activity, gaining a 193.2% surge over the period.
MemeCore ($M): The top gainer, with a jaw-dropping +378.3% performance. Recently listed on both HTX and BN futures markets, its liquidity and social buzz continue to scale.
Banana For Scale ($BANANAS31): A dark horse from the BNB Chain, up 347% since launch. Fueled by the light-hearted vibe and community energy, its memetic power still shows further viral marketing potential.
Build On BNB ($BOBBSC): Another rising star of meme coin on BNB Smart Chain, $BOBBSC has surged over 200%, leveraging the BNB ecosystem’s benefits. It now plays at a low market cap, ideal for early value investment.
GameFi: Legacy Tokens, New Momentum
FUNToken ($FUN): A veteran in the GameFi space, now seeing renewed interest. With a robust tokenomics model and real in-game utility, $FUN has rebounded nearly by 94%, positioning itself as a strong recovery asset in the GameFi comeback story.
DeFi + RWA: Real-World Asset Tokenization Heats Up
Maple Finance ($SYRUP): The rising star of DeFi’s institutional pivot, specializing in on-chain credit and RWA lending. While Maple is tokenizing high-quality real-world assets with strong compliance narratives, $SYRUP has gained a 71.1% increase since its launch on HTX, driven by demand for yield-generating, regulation-friendly assets.
Beyond the Charts: Why These Projects Matter
These seven assets in HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt #8 share a key trait: they are actively delivering on their narratives, not just promising them. From TRON’s growing real-world footprint to BONK’s strong rise on Solana, from the explosive virality of MemeCore and Build On BNB to the yield-driven momentum of Maple behind RWA’s building, these aren’t flash-in-the-pan plays. They’re structurally supported stories with runway left to go.
HTX’s research team carefully tracks narrative fulfillment, not just speculation. This forward-focused methodology aims to help users identify long-term value, especially as retail sentiment continues to chase short-term price spikes. As the market heats up and narratives rotate at breakneck speed, the report stands as a reminder that the next bull cycle won’t be won by hype alone and the true gems may already be on-chain yet underexposed.

7 Breakout Projects Signal the Next Wave of Long-Term Crypto Value
PANAMA CITY, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today released the eighth edition of its Crypto Gem Hunt report, a curated research publication that tracks emerging narratives and promising sectors in the digital asset space. This edition identifies notable trends across categories such as meme coins, GameFi, DeFi, and Layer 1 infrastructure. Rather than short-term speculation, the report emphasizes projects with solid fundamentals, active ecosystems, and long-term growth potential.
The Selected Seven Assets: From Meme Coins and GameFi to DeFi and L1 Narratives
HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt #8 features seven cherry-picked assets from several trending sectors with prosperous narratives. These sectors cover meme coins, GameFi, DeFi and RWA innovations, and public blockchain infrastructure.
L1 Public Chain: Time-Honored Infrastructure, New Catalysts
TRON ($TRX) | Rated S: TRON’s native token $TRX was recently adopted by Nasdaq-listed firm SRM as part of its strategic reserve, making TRON one of the first blockchain networks bridging into U.S. capital markets. This also makes TRON as a battle-tested Layer 1 network with a fresh off-chain narrative. While its price move of +16.7% is modest, its global exposure and off-chain integration signal a longer-term value growth.
Meme Coins: Narrative Continues with Strong Community Backing
BONK ($BONK): As one of Solana’s OG meme coins, $BONK is back in the spotlight, thanks to the Solana ecosystem revival. According to LetsBONK.fun, BONK has surpassed Pump.fun in on-chain activity, gaining a 193.2% surge over the period.
MemeCore ($M): The top gainer, with a jaw-dropping +378.3% performance. Recently listed on both HTX and BN futures markets, its liquidity and social buzz continue to scale.
Banana For Scale ($BANANAS31): A dark horse from the BNB Chain, up 347% since launch. Fueled by the light-hearted vibe and community energy, its memetic power still shows further viral marketing potential.
Build On BNB ($BOBBSC): Another rising star of meme coin on BNB Smart Chain, $BOBBSC has surged over 200%, leveraging the BNB ecosystem’s benefits. It now plays at a low market cap, ideal for early value investment.
GameFi: Legacy Tokens, New Momentum
FUNToken ($FUN): A veteran in the GameFi space, now seeing renewed interest. With a robust tokenomics model and real in-game utility, $FUN has rebounded nearly by 94%, positioning itself as a strong recovery asset in the GameFi comeback story.
DeFi + RWA: Real-World Asset Tokenization Heats Up
Maple Finance ($SYRUP): The rising star of DeFi’s institutional pivot, specializing in on-chain credit and RWA lending. While Maple is tokenizing high-quality real-world assets with strong compliance narratives, $SYRUP has gained a 71.1% increase since its launch on HTX, driven by demand for yield-generating, regulation-friendly assets.
Beyond the Charts: Why These Projects Matter
These seven assets in HTX’s Crypto Gem Hunt #8 share a key trait: they are actively delivering on their narratives, not just promising them. From TRON’s growing real-world footprint to BONK’s strong rise on Solana, from the explosive virality of MemeCore and Build On BNB to the yield-driven momentum of Maple behind RWA’s building, these aren’t flash-in-the-pan plays. They’re structurally supported stories with runway left to go.
HTX’s research team carefully tracks narrative fulfillment, not just speculation. This forward-focused methodology aims to help users identify long-term value, especially as retail sentiment continues to chase short-term price spikes. As the market heats up and narratives rotate at breakneck speed, the report stands as a reminder that the next bull cycle won’t be won by hype alone and the true gems may already be on-chain yet underexposed.

Congress’ cuts to public broadcasting will diminish the range and volume of the free press and the independent reporting it provides.MicroStockHub-iStock/Getty Images Plus
Champions of the almost entirely party-line vote in the U.S. Senate to erase US$1.1 billion in already approved funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting called their action a refusal to subsidize liberal media.
“Public broadcasting has long been overtaken by partisan activists,” said U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, insisting there is no need for government to fund what he regards as biased media. “If you want to watch the left-wing propaganda, turn on MSNBC,” Cruz said.
Accusing the media of liberal bias has been a consistent conservative complaint since the civil rights era, when white Southerners insisted news outlets were slanting their stories against segregation. During his presidential campaign in 1964, U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona complained that the media was against him, an accusation that has been repeated by every Republican presidential candidate since.
But those charges of bias rarely survive empirical scrutiny.
That independence in the United States – enshrined in the press freedom clause of the First Amendment – gives journalists the ability to hold government accountable, expose abuses of power and thereby support democracy.

Trusting independence
Ad Fontes Media, a self-described “public benefit company” whose mission is to rate media for credibility and bias, have placed the reporting of “PBS NewsHour” under 10 points left of the ideological center. They label it as both “reliable” and based in “analysis/fact.” “Fox and Friends,” by contrast, the popular morning show on Fox News, is nearly 20 points to the right. The scale starts at zero and runs 42 points to the left to measure progressive bias and 42 points to the right to measure conservative bias. Ratings are provided by three-person panels comprising left-, right- and center-leaning reviewers.
A similar 2016 study published in Public Opinion Quarterly said that media are more similar than dissimilar and, excepting political scandals, “major
news organizations present topics in a largely nonpartisan manner,
casting neither Democrats nor Republicans in a particularly favorable
or unfavorable light.”
Surveys show public media’s audiences do not see it as biased. A national poll of likely voters released July 14, 2025, found that 53% of respondents trust public media to report news “fully, accurately and fairly,” while only 35% extend that trust to “the media in general.” A majority also opposed eliminating federal support.
Contrast these numbers with attitudes about public broadcasters such as MTVA in Hungary or the TVP in Poland, where the state controls most content. Protests in Budapest October 2024 drew thousands demanding an end to “propaganda.” Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism reports that TVP is the least trusted news outlet in the country.
While critics sometimes conflate American public broadcasting with state-run outlets, the structures are very different.
Safeguards for editorial freedom
In state-run media systems, a government agency hires editors, dictates coverage and provides full funding from the treasury. Public officials determine – or make up – what is newsworthy. Individual media operations survive only so long as the party in power is happy.
Public broadcasting in the U.S. works in almost exactly the opposite way: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is a private nonprofit with a statutory “firewall” that forbids political interference.
Stations survive by combining this modest federal grant money with listener donations, underwriting and foundation support. That creates a diversified revenue mix that further safeguards their editorial freedom.
As a public-private partnership, individual communities mostly own the public broadcasting system and its affiliate stations. Congress allocates funds, while community nonprofits, university boards, state authorities or other local license holders actually own and run the stations. Individual monthly donors are often called “members” and sometimes have voting rights in station-governance matters. Membership contributions make up the largest share of revenue for most stations, providing another safeguard for editorial independence.

A 2021 report from the European Broadcasting Union links public broadcasting with higher voter turnout, better factual knowledge and lower susceptibility to extremist rhetoric.
Experts warn that even small cuts will exacerbate an already pernicious problem with political disinformation in the U.S., as citizens lose access to free information that fosters media literacy and encourages trust across demographics.
In many ways, public media remains the last broadly shared civic commons. It is both commercial-free and independently edited.
Another study, by the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School in 2022, affirmed that “countries with independent and well-funded public broadcasting systems also consistently have stronger democracies.”
Such attention to nuance provides a critical counterweight to the fragmented, often hyperpartisan news bubbles that pervade cable news and social media. And this skillful, more balanced treatment helps to ameliorate political polarization and misinformation.
In all, public media’s unique structure and mission make democracy healthier in the U.S. and across the world. Public media prioritizes education and civic enlightenment. It gives citizens important tools for navigating complex issues to make informed decisions – whether those decisions are about whom to vote for or about public policy itself. Maintaining and strengthening public broadcasting preserves media diversity and advances important principles of self-government.
Congress’ cuts to public broadcasting will diminish the range and volume of the free press and the independent reporting it provides. Ronald Reagan once described a free press as vital for the United States to succeed in its “noble experiment in self-government.” From that perspective, more independent reporting – not less – will prove the best remedy for any worry about partisan spin.

Ever since Samsung created the foldable category by unveiling the first foldable smartphone in 2019, Samsung has pursued one goal: to give users large screens in a pocket-friendly device. Years and thousands of design and engineering advancements later, Galaxy foldable devices have again not only exceeded that goal but set a new standard for mobile foldable innovation.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are Samsung’s thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldables to date.
Pocket-friendly Proportions
Galaxy Z Flip7 slides into your pocket at just 6.5 mm thin when open and 13.7 mm when closed. An ultra-high-density circuit board makes sure there is no wasted space internally and Samsung enhanced the battery’s energy density, boosting its capacity by 300 mAh while reducing its thickness.
Meanwhile, Galaxy Z Fold7 is nearly half the thickness of the original Fold, measuring just 8.9 mm folded and 4.2 mm unfolded. This 48% reduction combined with a wider, brighter screen and a new 21:9 bar-phone aspect ratio, delivers a foldable device that is both portable and intuitive to use.
Stronger, Slimmer Hinges
Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a third-generation Armor FlexHinge that is 27% thinner and 43% lighter than its predecessor. Key upgrades include:
Thinner critical rotating and supporting elements, resulting in a hinge that is smaller in size while maintaining strength.
New alloy components that increase yield strength by over 14%allow the hinge to better withstand repeated folding.
Separate supporting and rotating functions add structural stability and greater design flexibility.
A wingplate that opens widerdelivers a flatter and cleaner screen for a more premium viewing experience.
Galaxy Z Flip7 features Samsung’s thinnest FlexHinge yet. It’s 29% slimmer than the hinge on Galaxy Z Flip6 yet still supports full FlexMode and day-to-day toughness.
Thinner, Stronger Displays
The display is a cornerstone of Galaxy Z Fold7’s hardware innovations, with a focus on greater durability while ensuring the device is lighter and thinner:
Reduced display thickness by more than 39%by completely reoptimizing the panel structure and introducing advanced materials.
Titanium-based lattice replaces carbon fiber for 64% improved durability and better resistance.
Achieved a slimmer profileby redesigning the panel layer to better absorb external stress and ensure consistent rigidity.
Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) is 50% thickerthan the UTG on Galaxy Z Fold6 for a smoother, less-visible crease and improved performance.
With Galaxy Z Flip7, Samsung maintains the Z Flip series’ iconic design but packs more power in a smaller package:
A new edge-to-edge Infinity Cover Display removes the black notch to provide more content and cleaner visuals.
The HID camera is precisely corner-mounted, keeping visuals clean and symmetrical.
The display bezel shrinks from 3.94 mm to 1.25 mm, a 68% reduction that makes Galaxy Z Flip7 the world’s thinnest display bezel on a foldable.
Pro Cameras, Optimized for Potability
Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers an ultra-level camera experience, providing flagship technology in a sleek and light design.
First 200 MP wide-angle camera in a foldablethat’s made possible by a new thin actuator and a complete structural redesign.
The camera module shrunk by 18% and ran nearly 30,000 simulations, culminating in the thinnest 200 MP camera on a foldable device that doesn’t sacrifice image quality.
On Galaxy Z Flip7, the camera module has been reengineered from the ground up, delivering flagship image quality in a slimmer housing. To achieve a thinner design while maintaining high performance, Samsung streamlined the internal structure of the entire module, incorporating a smaller actuator to ensure high-performance autofocus with less bulk.
Tougher Materials, Lighter Feel
Samsung reinforced Galaxy Z Fold7’s thin profile with stronger, more advanced materials. The cover screen now features Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 21, making it 30% stronger2 in material strength than the previous generation. Additionally, the frame and hinge cover have been upgraded to Advanced Armor Aluminum3, a material that is 10% tougher4 than the Armor Aluminum previous used in Galaxy Z Fold6.
The Bottom Line
Every hinge, display layer and camera component inside Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 was redesigned for one purpose: give consumers a refined foldable that feels as effortless as any premium smartphone.
Welcome to the new era of pocket-ready power.
1 Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2 is applied to the front of the device and Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2 is applied to the rear.
2 Based on Corning internal lab testing. Comparison is at the material level between Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2 and Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, as used on Galaxy Z Fold6.
3 Advanced Armor Aluminum frame does not include volume and side keys, SIM tray or camera lens barrel.
4 Based on Samsung internal testing of Advanced Armor Aluminum versus Armor Aluminum used in Galaxy Z Fold6. Improvement measured at the material level and may not reflect overall device durability.
Experiencing South Korea as both a traveler and a Samsung Brand Manager was an opportunity to see how our technology could help turn my jam-packed itinerary into something seamless. From overcoming jet lag to translating conversations on the fly and even recreating meals when I got home, Galaxy AI became more than a tool – it was a true travel companion.
Prepping for Jet Lag, AI Style
Before I boarded the flight to South Korea, I already had a plan in place for managing jet lag, thanks to Galaxy AI1. I used the sleep coaching program2, tailored to my “Nervous Penguins” sleep style profile3 (yes, that’s a thing – find it in the Samsung Health app!), and started adjusting my routine days before I flew out.
It was all in the simple things: going to bed at the same time each night, tweaking the temperature on my thermostat, rethinking my sleep position and – surprise! – learning I snore thanks to the Galaxy Watch. A couple of extra pillows later and I was steadily improving my Sleep Score with deep, uninterrupted rest. Thanks to the changes I made, it was the first time I arrived in a new country without feeling like I was walking through molasses.
Language Barriers? Not So Much
In a new country, the right tools make all the difference. I’d been practicing Korean through language learning apps for a few months prior to the trip, but getting around Seoul by myself was a little intimidating at first. Hailing a cab was easy, but pronouncing directions or street names was a challenge. Galaxy AI’s Live Translate tools, especially Listening and Conversation Mode, made communication not just possible, but genuinely connective. I even chatted with drivers about where I’m from (New York), and more than once got a “Go Yankees!” in return. It was a reminder that language should be a bridge, not a barrier.
Capturing the Moment
Some of the most magical moments came through the lens of my Galaxy Z Flip6. At Bukchon Hanok Village (with its postcard-perfect streets packed with visitors), I didn’t have to stress about getting the perfect photo. Instead, I captured what I could and used Object Eraser to clean up the background later by tapping the tools icon and highlighting them. The result was exactly what I wanted: clean, focused photos that captured the energy of the place without wasting time waiting for the picture perfect moment.
Tastes Worth Tracking Down
I’m a big foodie, so naturally, my camera roll was full of street eats – and Circle to Search4 became my secret weapon. Whether live searching in the moment or when I was craving beef KBBQ days after landing back home, I used photos from my trip to find similar recipes instantly. Pairing that with the Samsung Food+ app meant I could re-create some of those dishes – I went from “that looks delicious” to “here’s how to cook it” in minutes. AI even helped me rate the healthiness of each dish, so I didn’t feel totally off-track after the trip.
Finding Routine on the Road
But maybe the biggest gift Galaxy AI gave me was routine – something that’s so easy to lose when you travel. After learning that repetition is key for good sleep from the Galaxy Watch’s sleep coach, I developed easy nighttime habits. I programmed my devices to allow social media scrolling only between 8–10PM with Do Not Disturb in the background, and dark mode kicking in after. It was a small thing, but it helped me wind down, unplug and reset. Even thousands of miles away from home, I still felt grounded.
This trip was the first time I traveled with tech that didn’t just document the journey or help make it more fun, but it truly enhanced it from beginning to well beyond the end. With Galaxy AI as my travel companion, I didn’t just navigate Seoul – I truly experienced it. And I came back with memories, habits and a camera roll full of photos that, thanks to AI, look as good as they felt in the moment.
A transformative Indigenous-led conservation initiative in the Northwest Territories
NWT: Our Land for the Future is one of the world’s largest Indigenous-led land conservation initiatives. With a focus on environmental protection, cultural revitalization, and sustainable economic development, the initiative will support long-term stewardship of the Northwest Territories’ land and water. It brings together 21 Indigenous governments and organizations in the Northwest Territories, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and private donors in a collaborative approach.
Our Land for the Future is a Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) initiative, with federal support first announced at COP15 in December 2022. Project Finance for Permanence initiatives unite governments and private donors to create large-scale, lasting investments that protect ecosystems, sustain local economies, and advance Indigenous leadership. By taking a big-picture approach, Project Finance for Permanence initiatives deliver broad, lasting benefits for both people and the land.
The Government of Canada is investing $300 million, with private donors contributing an additional $75 million. Donors have committed to match $1 for every $4 of federal investment. This represents the largest single investment in a Project Finance for Permanence initiative in Canada to date.
The $375 million is being managed through the Our Land for the Future Trust. Indigenous government-appointed directors will make the key decisions about how funds are disbursed each year, guided by an annual operating plan approved by all partners. These funds will support the protection of vast, ecologically significant areas in the Northwest Territories; strengthen Indigenous leadership; and help build a resilient, Northern economy.
This initiative will help diversify the Northern economy. It will bring millions of dollars into the territory and create hundreds of culturally meaningful jobs. This will mean many jobs in more communities, not just concentrated in Yellowknife.
Indigenous governments and partners to the Our Land for the Future agreement are the sole beneficiaries of the Trust and will aim to conserve and steward up to 380,000 square kilometres of land and inland water. This includes protecting over 2% of Canada in new terrestrial and freshwater areas, representing a space almost seven times the size of Nova Scotia and contributing significantly to the national goal of conserving 30% of land and water by 2030.
Key activities and initiatives that could receive funding include:
Indigenous Guardians
Support for Indigenous Guardians initiatives to monitor land, water, and wildlife health; safeguard cultural sites; and contribute to environmental stewardship.
Climate action and resilience
Climate-related research—such as impact assessments, adaptation planning, and mitigation strategies—to address challenges like wildfires and water scarcity.
Sustainable economic development
Advance conservation-based economies, including ecotourism, traditional harvesting, artisanal enterprises, and land-based cultural programs.
Create hundreds of culturally meaningful jobs annually across Northwest Territories’ communities.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that she advanced $52,350,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending for the University of Maine (UMaine) System in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) and Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration Appropriations bills. The legislation, which was officially approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee this month, now awaits consideration by the full Senate and House.
This funding advanced through the Committee’s markup of the FY 2026 CJS and Agriculture Appropriations bills—an important step that now allows the bills to be considered by the full Senate.
“The brilliant faculty and students at Maine’s public universities and at the flagship university are conducting cutting-edge research and making promising discoveries in a wide variety of fields,” said Senator Collins. “This funding to support these exciting projects across the UMaine System would promote workforce development, support marine research, and help to prepare the next generation of leaders. As the Chair of the Appropriations Committee, I will continue to advocate for this funding as the appropriations process moves forward.”
“These investments—made possible through Senator Collins’ advocacy—would expand research opportunities, improve infrastructure, and support collaborative solutions that strengthen Maine’s economy and communities,” said Joan Ferrini-Mundy, Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation for the UMaine System.
“Located at the heart of our campus, the Reynolds Center is a hub of learning and connection. This investment would expand its role as a space for students to grow academically and socially — strengthening our commitment to the Downeast community,” said Megan Walsh, Dean and Campus Director, UMaine Machias.
“The spruce budworm is one of the most significant threats to Maine’s forest economy, and proactive research is essential to protecting this vital resource,” said Dr. Adam Daigneault, Associate Professor of Forest Policy and Economics at the University of Maine. “With this support, UMaine can expand its leadership in forest health research, helping landowners, communities, and the forest products industry prepare for and respond to future outbreaks. We are incredibly thankful for Senator Collins’ investment in the resilience of Maine’s forests.”
Funding advanced by Senator Collins for the UMaine System in the FY 2026 CJS and Agriculture Appropriations bills is as follows:
Gulf of Maine Ocean Observation System Recipient: University of Maine System Project Location: Coastal counties from Washington County to York County, ME Amount Requested: $5,000,000 Project Purpose: To expand the ocean observation system in the Gulf of Maine, which is used by the maritime and fishing industries.
University of Maine Health Science Complex Recipient: University of Maine System Project Location: Orono, ME Amount Requested: $45,000,000 Project Purpose: To support the construction of a health and life sciences complex.
University of Maine Forest Health Lab Recipient: University of Maine System Project Location: Orono, ME Amount Requested: $600,000 Project Purpose: To support the construction of the University’s Forest Health Lab, which conducts spruce budworm research.
University of Maine at Machias Early College Student Support Center Recipient: University of Maine System Project Location: Machias, ME Amount Requested: $750,000 Project Purpose: To renovate a facility on campus to support early college students.
American Lobster Settlement Index Expansion Recipient: University of Maine System Project Location: Walpole, ME Amount Requested: $1,000,000 Project Purpose: To expand the Maine Collector Survey for lobster in the Gulf of Maine.
In 2021, Congress reinstituted Congressionally Directed Spending. Following this decision, Senator Collins has secured more than $1 billion for hundreds of Maine projects for FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024. As the Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Senator Collins is committed to championing targeted investments that will benefit Maine communities.

Skydance reportedly set up secret side deal with Trump worth tens of millions more dollars, with potential Skydance/Paramount merger pending Trump admin approval
“These reports raise fresh questions about corruption in the Trump Administration and President Trump’s willingness to accept payments from entities with significant policy interests before agencies he controls.”
Text of Letter (PDF)
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) pressed David Ellison, CEO of Skydance Media, about reports of a secret deal between Skydance and President Trump — and how it may be related to Paramount’s recent multi-million-dollar settlement agreement with Trump. The settlement, which comes as Skydance and Paramount await approval from the Trump administration for their proposed mega-merger, has raised concerns about potential bribery.
“These reports raise fresh questions about corruption in the Trump Administration and President Trump’s willingness to accept payments from entities with significant policy interests before agencies he controls,” wrote the senators.
In May, following reports of a potential settlement in Paramount’s legal battle with President Trump, the senators wrote to the company with concerns that its attempt to settle President Trump’s “meritless” lawsuit for tens of millions of dollars, while approval for its $8 billion merger with Skydance is pending in front of the Trump administration, could be construed as bribery.
Despite the senators’ warnings, on July 2, Paramount settled with President Trump for $16 million, at least part of which will go toward his Presidential Library fund. But President Trump himself revealed that the arrangement is worth more than the initially announced $16 million, leading to reports of a back-door deal with President Trump. Reporting suggests that a secret side deal with Skydance may include public service announcements “and other broadcast transmissions” worth between $15 million and $20 million that “support conservative causes supported by President Trump.”
On July 17, CBS announced it was canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, just days after the host criticized Paramount’s $16 million settlement with President Trump on his show and said the deal resembled bribery.
The senators asked Skydance to answer questions related to whether Skydance’s actions comply with federal anti-bribery laws, including about the contents of the secret deal with President Trump, whether the deal’s participants discussed the pending Paramount-Skydance transaction, and whether Skydance executives were involved in the decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, by August 4.
The $16 million Paramount settlement will largely go straight to President Trump’s Presidential Library fund — along with the money from other settlements by tech and media companies, including ABC. Senator Warren, alongside Senator Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Representatives Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), last week introduced the Presidential Library Anti-Corruption Act, new legislation to close loopholes that allow presidential libraries to be used as tools for corruption and bribery.

Canada’s policymakers are searching for new, sustainable sources of economic strength. One such source is already here and is being overlooked: the emerging Indigenous economy. It has the potential to boost Canada’s economy by more than $60 billion a year.
But Indigenous Peoples are still largely seen as an economic liability to manage instead of an opportunity for growth. It is time for a mindset shift. For it to happen, the federal government should remove unfair economic barriers and invest in closing the employment and income gap.
Compounding this challenge is Canada’s aging labour force. The number of people aged 65 and over is growing six times faster than the number of children aged 14 and under — those who will be entering the job market in the coming years. This demographic shift places additional pressure on pensions, the health-care system and the economy.
A BNN Bloomberg feature about the Indigenous economy in Canada.
If Indigenous Peoples could participate in the economy at the same rate as non-Indigenous Canadians, their GDP contribution could increase from about $55 billion to well over $100 billion annually.
Despite this potential, Canada has largely failed to invest in Indigenous Peoples and reform the colonial structures that create inequality.
While some progress has been made, such as the First Nations Fiscal Management Act that offers communities tools to strengthen their economies, progress is still too slow.
In contrast, First Nations communities are constrained by Canadian institutions. The Indian Act limits First Nations’ authority over their own affairs, segregating them from mainstream finance mechanisms. Unclear legal jurisdiction between federal, provincial and Indigenous governments and weak property rights discourage business investments.
Limited authority and fiscal powers mean First Nations governments cannot provide services at national standards and must depend on other governments.
Compounding these issues is the fragmented, insufficient and culturally inappropriate nature of federal support systems. First Nations people have economic advantages and an entrepreneurial spirit, but they are burdened with unfair economic barriers, such as inadequate infrastructure, limited access to capital and administrative hurdles.
The RoadMap Project, a national initiative led by the First Nations Financial Management Board and other Indigenous organizations, proposes a pathway to economic reconciliation. Investing in the Indigenous economy means supporting Indigenous training, providing access to capital for Indigenous organizations and reforming the institutions that continue to impose systemic barriers.
Online learning could help remote communities achieve educational goals, but its success depends on major investments in high-speed internet access, which remains lacking in many areas.
Internationally, development banks have been used to fill credit gaps when the private sector is unable to meet the needs of emerging economies.
In Canada, the First Nations Financial Management Board and other Indigenous organizations are calling for a similar solution: the creation of an Indigenous Development Finance Organization. By lending to Indigenous governments and businesses, this finance organization could bridge the gap between the financial markets and the Indigenous economy.
While investments in capacity and development finance are urgent needs, only the dismantling of economic barriers and increased access to effective institutions can assure Indigenous development.
Legislation such as the First Nations Fiscal Management Act and the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management can support Indigenous economies through taxation, budgeting, land codes and financial laws. They offer a pathway between the Indian Act framework and self-government, without waiting on lengthy negotiations.
Growing stronger together
Canada’s economic future will remain uncertain if short-term solutions keep being prioritized while ignoring the growth potential of the Indigenous economy. Improvements to the status quo are no longer sufficient.
The federal government must support Indigenous-led initiatives like the RoadMap Project to foster shared growth and prosperity for Indigenous Peoples and all Canadians alike. Investments are needed to narrow the employment and income gap through new supports for capacity, access to capital and institutional reform.

It is crucial to think about what you can do promote your safety while using dating apps, and before you click the download button.(Shutterstock)
Dating apps like Tinder, Bumble and Grindr have become a ubiquitous part of modern dating for young people looking to meet potential partners. However, many Gen Z users are increasingly forgoing dating apps, feeling burnt out by the whole process.
With anti-LGBTQ+ movements rising in Canada, the United States and around the world, it is important to understand the potential dangers of online dating and how LGBTQ+ people can promote their safety.
We recently conducted an online survey that looks into LGBTQ+ people’s experiences with dating apps in Canada as part of a research project at Concordia University’s Digital Intimacy, Gender & Sexuality (DIGS) Lab. We analyzed 624 participant responses that reveal the different harms LGBTQ+ users face and the strategies they use to mitigate those harms.
Dating today can feel like a mix of endless swipes, red flags and shifting expectations. From decoding mixed signals to balancing independence with intimacy, relationships in your 20s and 30s come with unique challenges. Love IRL is the latest series from Quarter Life that explores it all.
These research-backed articles break down the complexities of modern love to help you build meaningful connections, no matter your relationship status.
Harms against LGBTQ+ dating app users
LGBTQ+ dating users can experience a variety of harms, including unwanted sexual advances, harassment, coercion, discrimination and catfishing.
The most common types of harms that participants experienced were sexual harms (like receiving unsolicited sexual content, sexual harassment and sexual assault), emotional harms (like bullying and threatening behavior) and social harms (like discrimination and exclusion). Sexual harm was more common online and emotional harm was more common in person.
Many trans and non-binary participants were insulted with slurs and told their identity was not real by other dating app users. Some people they matched with would also verbally attack them or make death threats. Other trans and non-binary participants reported that people were often nice and friendly online, but then would harass them in person.
Racialized LGBTQ+ users said people often made racist comments or used slurs against them. Racial stereotyping and fetishizing was also common. For example, one participant said that she received “comments about my body based on my race and implications of what a Black woman could do with her lips.”
There were participants who reported being drugged or sexually assaulted when they met someone in person. Unfortunately, many people who use dating apps say that they have experienced sexual violence online or in person.
Younger LGBTQ+ users reported feeling pressured or coerced into doing sexual acts by older users. For example, one participant said they felt pushed into doing sexual acts they were not comfortable with.
If you or someone you know uses dating apps, there are steps you can take to make your experience safer.
The LGBTQ+ people in our study employed strategies like verifying someone’s identity through video calls or by checking out their social media profiles. When meeting someone in person for the first time, participants would choose to meet in a public space and sharetheir location with family or close friends.
Safety is not just the individual’s responsibility, however. Dating app companies need to keep their users safe, and participants from the survey gave suggestions to make dating apps safer. For instance, many recommended better content moderation systems to filter out inappropriate messages and problematic users.
Participants wanted features to make it easier for marginalized communities to connect and avoid people who harass or discriminate. They also wanted better enforcement and stricter consequences for people who violated an app’s community guidelines, like making it impossible, not just harder, for banned users to get back on the apps.
Another thing to think about is how new technology is being incorporated into the apps you use and what that means for your safety and privacy. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more popular and accessible, and dating app companies are integrating this technology into their platforms to help manage user safety.
With evolving technologies and changes in the sociopolitical climate, these safety issues are not going away. In fact, they may become more complicated in the future. It is crucial to think about what you can do promote your safety while using dating apps, both online and in person.

The West Midlands Growth Plan has been launched by the regional mayor alongside local authority leaders.
Birmingham City Council leader Cllr John Cotton attended the launch and signed up to the plan that will drive a new era of prosperity in all parts of the region by creating 100,000 good jobs in fast-growing industries, getting tens of thousands of residents into work, improving public transport, and building 120,000 homes.
The plan also sets out actions to reduce poverty and deprivation and make further progress towards net zero.
Cllr Cotton said: “This is great news for the people of Birmingham and the wider region. Birmingham is the beating heart of the West Midlands and when we thrive, the whole country thrives.
“Increasingly, businesses want to invest here and families want to live work here and this growth plan will bring more jobs and skills, better transport and much-needed housing, as well as support our vital net zero ambitions.”
The Growth Plan will build on new projects and funding secured by the Mayor since he took office.
This includes hundreds of new social homes, £2.4bn to improve transport, more than £10m of support for local businesses, five million free bus journeys ahead of bringing the network back under public control and a flagship Investment Zone, offering tax breaks and other benefits for companies.
The Mayor has also agreed a new tram line to East Birmingham which has proved pivotal in landing the £3bn Sports Quarter regeneration project by American financier and Birmingham City FC co-owner Tom Wagner.
Austin, TX, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — What if the next major transformation in American communications doesn’t come from Washington or Silicon Valley—but from Earth’s lower orbit?
That’s the theory bestselling author and entrepreneur James Altucher puts forward in anewly released presentationthat connects recent public statements, long-term satellite deployment, and a closed-door meeting involving Elon Musk .
Momentum Is Building—Fast
Altucher describes what he believes is an inflection point—not just for Starlink, but for digital sovereignty worldwide. At the center of it all is a moment few are talking about: August 13, 2025.
According to Altucher, several high-profile media appearances, overlooked interviews, and timing cues are converging toward this date. He claims they suggest Musk may be preparing for a pivotal announcement related to Starlink’s future.
While the outcome of that discussion remains unknown, Altucher believes it ties directly into a broader shift that has already begun—but hasn’t yet made headlines.
The Power of Unseen Infrastructure
Altucher suggests that Starlink is more than a tech product. It’s an invisible layer of infrastructure—positioned to become the foundation of a new kind of global network. One that bypasses national grids, local service providers, and even traditional governments.
What makes this grid different, Altucher argues, is that it exists beyond borders. And that level of control—he warns—could become one of the most powerful tools in modern history.
James Altucher is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and former hedge fund manager. He has launched more than 20 companies across technology, media, and finance. His books—includingChoose Yourself,The Power of No, andSkip the Line—have sold over one million copies globally. Altucher is a contributor toThe Wall Street Journal,Forbes, andTechCrunch, and frequently appears on CNBC, Fox Business, and other major outlets. His podcast and daily insights have helped millions navigate the shifting world of business, tech, and personal freedom.
New York, US, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With the entry into force of the GENIUS Act, the United States has officially banned income-generating stablecoins, cutting off a major channel through which investors previously earned interest. This regulatory shift is expected to drive capital back into the native ecosystems of leading public chains like Ethereum, fueling a sharp rise in demand for on-chain income tools. In response, GoldenMining has introduced an updated suite of ETH cloud mining contracts—designed to deliver stable daily income of up to $9,700—positioning itself as a key player in helping investors earn consistent returns while benefiting from Ethereum’s continued growth.
As the core of the DeFi ecosystem, Ethereum undertakes more than 70% of decentralized financial applications. It has become an important way for many people to make stable money through staking and on-chain services. The ETH cloud mining contract launched by GoldenMining eliminates the trouble of buying mining machines, has a low threshold, and the income is settled every day, with a return rate of more than 60%. In the case of Ethereum’s bullish price, this contract helps investors enjoy price increases and get stable income. Now that policies limit the income of stablecoins, it is difficult to resist inflation by holding coins alone. GoldenMining’s contract model has become a choice with both growth potential and relative safety.
In order to allow more people to participate in Ethereum’s income, GoldenMining has launched a variety of ETH cloud mining contracts. As long as users choose the right investment amount and time, the mining platform will take care of the rest, and the income will be directly credited to your account every day. In this way, everyone does not have to worry about equipment maintenance or technical problems, and can easily get stable mining returns.
