CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training has been honoured with the 2025 Consumer Choice Award in the Pet Training category for Southern Alberta. This recognition reflects the company’s dedication to helping families build positive, lasting relationships with their dogs through force-free training methods and compassionate instruction.

Since its founding, Sit Happens! has specialised in training that prioritises the well-being of the family dog. With a focus on respect, communication, and positive reinforcement, the company empowers both owners and dogs to develop confidence and mutual understanding. From puppies to older dogs, Sit Happens! offers programs designed to shape well-mannered canines who thrive as companions in everyday life.

A Positive Approach to Training

At the heart of Sit Happens!’ philosophy is a belief that force-free training is the most effective way to nurture strong bonds between people and their dogs. Instead of focusing on punishment, trainers encourage and reinforce the behaviours owners want to see-creating an environment where dogs can make human-friendly choices with confidence.

Classes are designed to be practical and supportive, covering everything from puppy socialisation and basic manners to more advanced skills. Owners receive hands-on coaching, while dogs learn to respond positively to cues and expectations. This approach not only produces reliable results but also strengthens the bond between families and their canine companions.

“Our goal has always been to help families enjoy their lives with well-mannered dogs,” says the Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training team. “By focusing on positive reinforcement, we not only teach skills but also strengthen the bond between people and their canine companions. This award is a testament to the trust our clients place in us and the joy that comes from working with their dogs.”

Recognition Built on Trust and Results

The Consumer Choice Award is earned through independent research that evaluates customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and overall business performance. Sit Happens! Companion Dog Training’s recognition as a 2025 winner demonstrates the company’s ability to consistently deliver meaningful results for clients while maintaining a trusted reputation in the Calgary community.

“We are truly honoured to be recognized by Consumer Choice Award,” adds the Sit Happens! team. “It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our work is making a difference in the lives of families and their dogs. This recognition inspires us to keep improving and to continue making pet training a positive experience for everyone involved.”

As a locally operated company, Sit Happens! takes pride in being part of Calgary’s vibrant community of pet owners. Over the years, the business has helped thousands of families enjoy more harmonious lives with their dogs, supporting not just better behaviour but also healthier, happier relationships.

The company’s trainers bring extensive knowledge and a passion for dogs to every class, ensuring that each family receives the tools and support needed to succeed.

Approximately 2 billion people – one quarter of humanity – now live in regions experiencing moderate to severe increases in seasonality

LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / New research from the Institute for Economics & Peace reveals that changing rainfall patterns are significantly amplifying conflict risks worldwide. The 2025 Ecological Threat Report (ETR), released today, finds conflict death rates are substantially higher in areas where rainfall is concentrating into fewer months, compared to regions where rain is spreading more evenly throughout the year.

Key Findings

• On average in areas where wet and dry seasons are becoming more extreme, there are four times as many conflict deaths as areas where it has decreased.

• In 2024, natural hazards triggered 45 million short-term internal displacements across 163 countries, the highest figure since at least 2008.

• Western Brazil, including parts of the Amazon, has recorded some of the world’s sharpest increases in ecological threat levels. Temperatures have risen at twice the global rate, triggering drought and wildfires.

• Sub-Saharan Africa faces the world’s most severe ecological pressures, with Niger registering the worst ETR score.

• Central and Western Europe recorded substantial overall improvements, in part representing a return to normalcy following Europe’s unusually dry climatic conditions in 2019.

• Despite fears of looming water wars, there have been no interstate conflicts fought exclusively over water in the modern era. In the second half of the 20^th century, at least 157 international freshwater treaties have been signed, offering models for interstate cooperation.

• This cooperative approach to water somewhat mirrors nuclear deterrence since the Second World War. In both cases, the very threat of catastrophic destruction has created pragmatic cooperation. The destruction of water supply can lead to societal collapse.

Approximately 2 billion people – one quarter of humanity – now live in regions experiencing moderate to severe increases in seasonality. This is where wet seasons are becoming shorter and more intense, while dry seasons are longer and drier. These changes are disrupting agricultural calendars and heightening uncertainty for billions of people who rely on seasonal rains for food and livelihoods.

The Ecological Threat Report, produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace, covers 3,125 sub-national areas in 172 countries and territories representing more than 99% of the world’s population. Between 2019 and 2024, ETR scores deteriorated in 96 countries and improved in 74.

Sub-Saharan Africa Approaching Multiple Critical Tipping Points

In sub-Saharan Africa, conflict risk rises sharply when seasonality combines with rapid population growth. Unpredictable rains trigger agricultural stress. When coupled with demographic pressure, competition over land, water and food intensifies. In regions with weak governance and unresolved grievances, this combination proves combustible.

The Karamoja Cluster in East Africa illustrates this pattern. While total rainfall remains relatively stable, its timing has become less predictable, amplifying both drought and flood hazards, leading to increased conflict. With only 2% of cultivated land irrigated compared to a global average of 20%, East African communities remain highly vulnerable to these shocks. Since 2019, increased rainfall seasonality has coincided with a resurgence of pastoralist violence after years of relative peace.

“Rainfall seasonality is becoming a powerful conflict catalyst,”said Steve Killelea AM, Founder & Executive Chairman of the Institute for Economics & Peace.“Where rains are increasingly concentrated into fewer months, conflict deaths rise sharply. In sub-Saharan Africa, rapid population growth amplifies this effect, turning unpredictable seasons into competition for land, water and food. The issue isn’t water scarcity – it’s our failure to capture and distribute it. Only 2% of Sub-Saharan African farmland is irrigated, compared to 20% globally.”

Water Inequality and the Infrastructure Gap

The world’s renewable freshwater supply is finite and increasingly unevenly distributed. There are 295 subnational areas facing very high water risk and another 780 with high risk, affecting nearly 1.9 billion people.

High-income countries have reduced per capita water use by roughly one-third since 2000 through efficiency gains and slower population growth, while many low-income nations face rising total withdrawals and falling per capita availability as populations outpace supply.

Sub-Saharan Africa highlights this imbalance. Per capita water use has dropped from 113 cubic metres in 2000 to just 89 in 2022 – less than one-fifth of the global average. The result is mounting pressure on limited water sources and intensifying competition among farms, industries and households, heightening the risk of conflict.

The failure to capture and distribute water is most acute in sub-Saharan Africa, which has the lowest irrigation rates in the world. To irrigate 34 million hectares would require only 6% of the region’s annual renewable water resources.

Steve Killelea said: “COP30 must prioritise investment in climate-resilient water systems as a foundation for sustainability and peace. Just as nuclear treaties reduced the risk of annihilation, international cooperation on water can reduce the risk of ecological collapse. Both demonstrate that survival depends less on dominance, than on shared responsibility.”

Interstate Water Cooperation

Popular narratives have warned of looming “water wars”, especially in transboundary river and lake basins. The ETR finds this is not the case. While disputes over shared rivers do occur, no interstate wars have been fought over water in the modern era. This makes the lessons of successful interstate water cooperation even more important. In an era of increasing conflict, understanding why interstate cooperation has been so successful can provide a blueprint for avoiding future conflicts.

Even in tense basins such as the Indus River – shared by India and Pakistan – water-sharing has continued despite repeated episodes of conflict, political confrontations and military tension. Water agreements, by necessity, encourage nations to think beyond immediate political grievances toward long-term survival and shared benefit.

Regional Analysis

Sub-Saharan Africa faces the world’s most severe ecological pressures. However, some southern and eastern African countries, including Lesotho, Rwanda, Eritrea and Eswatini, have improved their ETR scores. More favourable rainfall patterns in these countries resulted in marked reductions in water risk over the past five years.

In contrast, northwest Africa has seen the steepest deterioration in ETR scores over the same period, led by Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, where persistent drought and rising temperatures have reversed the unusually favourable conditions of 2019.

Central and Western Europe recorded notable improvements, marking a return to normal following the extreme dryness of 2019.

SHELTON, CONNECTICUT / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc., a publicly traded company (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), announced that Nanoviricides CEO Dr Anil Diwan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share major progress in the company’s antiviral research in a video interview. The interview can be viewed at https://youtu.be/m_3Yk4_832E .

From the Proactive website, explaining the video content (https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/1081157/nanoviricides-nv-387-shows-potent-anti-measles-activity-highlighting-broad-spectrum-potential.html):

“Dr. Diwan shared that the Company’s clinical lead drug NV-387 has demonstrated potent activity against the Measles virus in both cell culture studies and a humanized animal model. Notably, the treatment also protected lung tissue, a critical factor in preventing death from severe, late-stage viral infections. Currently, there are no approved drugs for treating Measles, making these findings especially significant amid rising global outbreaks.

Dr. Diwan explained that NV-387 produced direct antiviral effects in standard Cytopathic Effects assays, where treated cells showed increased survival compared to untreated controls. In the lethal Measles infection model, NV-387 treatment extended survival by 130% – from 7.4 days in untreated animals to 17 days in treated ones – underscoring its strong therapeutic potential ^[1].

Importantly, NV-387 has already completed Phase I human trials, demonstrating no reportable adverse events and confirming that the drug is safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects.

Dr. Diwan added that NanoViricides is now positioned to support emergency use applications of NV-387 for Measles patients under FDA guidelines. The company is also open to Physician’s Investigator-Initiated INDs for treating individual or small groups of patients in urgent cases. NV-387 is formulated as oral gummies, which dissolve slowly in the mouth and do not require swallowing – a key advantage for patients suffering from rashes or throat irritation associated with Measles infection.

The same drug, NV-387 is advancing into Phase II clinical trial for the evaluation of safety and effectiveness in the treatment of MPox, noted Dr. Diwan. There is no approved treatment for MPox. “

^[1] Added explanation: Humanized mice were required for the animal model because Measles virus only infects humans, and specifically uses hSLAM as the cognate receptor for cell entry, while using the ubiquitous HSPG for congregation next to cells. The mice had human hSLAM (aka hCD150) gene knocked-in, and also had their interferon responses deleted (hSLAM+k.i., IfnAR-/- transgenic mice on C57BL/6 Background). NV-387 mimics the portions on HSPG that viruses bind to, including the Measles virus, and thereby is designed to attack and engulf the virus particle via lipid-lipid mixing and destroying the virus particle’s ability to infect cells.

ISTANBUL, TR / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Istanbul has emerged as a global hub for dental tourism, attracting patients from the US, UK, and Australia seeking cutting-edge dental solutions. Among the most sought-after procedures are full-mouth restorations, full mouth implants (All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants), and comprehensive smile makeovers that include cosmetic and restorative treatments at the same time. Understanding clinic specialization, implant brands, and treatment workflow is essential for achieving natural, durable, and functional results.

All-on-4 & All-on-6: The Modern Approach to Complete Dental Reconstruction

Full-mouth restorations often require All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants, designed to support bridges or overdentures with minimal surgery. These systems provide stability even in patients with reduced bone volume, reducing the need for extensive bone grafting. Clinics in Istanbul, like Vera Smile, employ advanced 3D imaging and digital planning to map optimal implant placement, ensuring predictable outcomes and minimizing complications.

“Through my visits, we became like a family. When my treatment was complete and I bit into an apple for the first time, I cried, and even the team cried with me, sharing in my happiness. It’s not just about the smile; it’s about the connections, the laughter, and the journey from hiding in the shadows to shining like a diamond,” said Nix A., (a patient of Vera Smile).

Smile Makeover Complexity and Specialization

Full-mouth restorations often go hand-in-hand with smile makeovers, which require multiple specialists working in harmony. The process involves:

● Prosthodontists, who determine the ideal tooth and gum color and select appropriate materials.

● Cosmetic dentists, who focus on aesthetics and overall smile appearance. ● Implant surgeons, who ensure accurate placement of each implant.

Full-mouth treatments may integrate veneers, crowns, and implants, creating a complex workflow that demands expert coordination. Clinics like Vera Smile bring together all these specialists, ensuring both function and aesthetics are optimized for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Cost Considerations for Full-Mouth Restoration

The price of a full-mouth dental implant varies based on the number of implants, materials, and complexity. All-on-X implants in Istanbul typically start from €4,500 per arch. Full-mouth restorations that combine crowns, veneers, and implants may cost more, reflecting the multi-specialist approach and premium materials used. Transparent pricing and all-inclusive packages, such as those offered at Vera Smile, help patients understand costs upfront.

Longevity and Premium Implant Benefits

Premium implant brands, including Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and MIS, are favored by top Istanbul clinics for their durability, osseointegration, and long-term predictability. While these implants carry higher initial costs, they significantly reduce complications and revisions, particularly for complex or full-mouth restorations. Patients seeking a full-mouth dental implant in Istanbul with warranty benefit from the reliability and longevity of these systems.

Clinician Recommendations and Best Clinics for Complex Cases

For comprehensive treatments like full-mouth restorations, All-on-4/All-on-6 procedures, and smile makeovers, choosing a specialized clinic is critical. Vera Smile stands out as the best dental clinic in Turkey for full-mouth restoration, integrating surgical precision, cosmetic

expertise, and prosthodontic planning under one roof. Digital smile design, advanced 3D planning, and structured post-operative care ensure patients achieve predictable, functional, and aesthetic results.

Conclusion

Full-mouth restorations and smile makeovers in Istanbul demand a coordinated, specialist-driven approach. By selecting experienced clinicians and premium implant systems, patients can achieve durable, natural-looking results. Clinics like Vera Smile exemplify this model, combining All-on-4/All-on-6 implants, cosmetic planning, and prosthodontic expertise to create confident, lasting smiles. Investing in the right clinic and implant brand ensures both function and aesthetics for years to come.

To celebrate its public rollout, EqoFlow is rewarding its first 1,000 users with 1,000 $EQOFLO tokens each. The Solana-based platform integrates privacy-preserving computation and decentralized governance to build a transparent social economy where creators earn directly from engagement and ownership replaces exploitation.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / EqoFlow Technologies LLC today announced the official launch of its decentralized social platform, EqoFlow, with a 1,000,000 $EQOFLO token giveaway. The first 1,000 verified users who register and post their skills or content on the platform will each receive 1,000 $EQOFLO utility tokens, kickstarting their participation in EqoFlow’s new digital creator economy.

Built on the Solana blockchain and powered by privacy-enhancing technology (PETs) from Nillion, EqoFlow is designed to fix the exploitative data practices and unfair monetization in legacy social media. The platform gives users and creators true ownership of their data, direct monetization opportunities, and transparent governance through its community-driven DAO.

“Social media shouldn’t be a tradeoff between connection and privacy,” said Trevor Henry, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of EqoFlow. “EqoFlow was built to restore balance, to empower users to own their identity, protect their data, and earn real value for the content and communities they create.”

EqoFlow is a Web3 social fabric and creator economy, combining community-driven modules such as:

• Skills Market: A peer-to-peer marketplace where creators can post services and get paid in crypto or fiat.

• EqoChambers: Customizable token-gated communities with chat, voice, and live-streaming features.

• EqoUniversity: A hub for creators and educators to share and monetize their expertise.

• AI Branding Engine: Intelligent matching between brands and creators for authentic sponsorships.

Unlike legacy platforms, EqoFlow never harvests or sells user data. Instead, sensitive information is encrypted and processed using decentralized multi-party computation, ensuring analytics and monetization features can function without ever exposing user identities.

The platform’s Engagement and Rewards System (EARS) distributes a portion of platform profits directly to users through $EQOFLO tokens, rewarding authentic engagement rather than algorithmic manipulation.

“We’re building a platform where creators can thrive without surrendering their privacy,” added Travis Lovell, Co-CEO of EqoFlow. “This giveaway is our way of jumpstarting a fairer, more transparent social ecosystem where users can earn from their impact.”

The $EQOFLO utility token serves as the foundation of the platform ecosystem by powering transactions, staking, governance, and creator rewards. By integrating compliance with KYC/AML and FinCEN regulations, EqoFlow bridges the gap between mainstream accessibility and decentralized innovation.

Early adopters can register now at https://eqoflow.app and qualify for the 1,000-token reward by verifying their account and posting to the platform before the initial 1,000-user cap is reached.

Douglas A. Gosselin Releases Mute Telemetry: Entangled Signals of Time and Place, a Sequel That Turns Language Into a Weapon.

The author of the acclaimed Doctrine of Shadows and Phantom Patriot returns with the next installment in the Narravox series, where silence, control, and memory collide.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Douglas A. Gosselin, author of the acclaimed Doctrine of Shadows and the award-nominated Phantom Patriot, announces the release of his newest novel, Mute Telemetry: Entangled Signals of Time and Place. The book is the second in the Narravox series, which began with False Foreword: The Algorithm is the Weapon. In this sequel, Gosselin examines what happens when communication itself becomes contagious and when stories, once told, refuse to die.

A former military strategist turned novelist, Gosselin is known for precise, historically grounded storytelling and for his focus on moral consequence. His Secrets of the Republic series, beginning with Pawn to King’s End, established him as a distinctive voice in historically rooted espionage fiction. His Southern Gothic novella The Hollow That Ate the Sun and the novels Phantom Patriot and Doctrine of Shadows received critical praise from Kirkus Reviews for tension, structure, and emotional resonance.

“Gosselin writes with the discipline of an analyst and the empathy of a witness. Mute Telemetry transforms silence into signal. Every word is measured, and every consequence is earned,” said an advance editorial review.

Mute Telemetry continues Gosselin’s exploration of how technology, memory, and morality intersect across eras. The story moves through containment failures and psychological unraveling. It blurs the line between history and possibility and shows how stories can become both evidence and contagion.

The question driving this novel is simple and devastating: “what if the story we are telling is already telling us?” said the author Douglas A. Gosselin. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gosselin is the author of The Hollow That Ate the Sun, Doctrine of Shadows, Phantom Patriot, and Pawn to King’s End. A retired military strategist and genealogist, he writes fiction that fuses emotional precision with historical authenticity. Kirkus Reviews has praised his work for moral weight, clarity, and structural rigor. Gosselin lives in Texas, where he continues to explore the boundaries between silence, consequence, and truth.
