Used Aircraft Asking Values Dipped Lower in April Across All Categories
'While asking prices uniformly dipped lower across Sandhills' used aircraft categories in April, trend lines are mixed,' says Controller Department Manager Terrin Mohl. 'Used jet asking prices have been decreasing and trending lower for months, while asking prices for used piston single aircraft are holding a steady trend despite minor monthly and yearly decreases in April. And asking prices for used turboprops shifted from several months of upward trends to a downward trend in April. It's important that sellers track these trends carefully and price their aircraft competitively.'

METABORA GAMES Integrates BORA Ecosystem with Kaia CL Protocol
– Enhancing BORA tokenomics by establishing a joint liquidity pool and applying a burn mechanism– Adopting a gas abstraction model, enabling BORA tokens to be used as a substitute for Kaia transaction fees SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — METABORA GAMES (CEO Choi Se-hoon), a leading blockchain game developer, announced today that it has completed the integration of the 'Consensus Liquidity (CL) Protocol' of the blockchain platform Kaia into the BORA ecosystem. The 'CL' is an innovative infrastructure protocol based on the Kaia chain that enables simultaneous participation in validator staking and liquidity provision. By integrating Kaia's CL technology into the BORA ecosystem, METABORA GAMES will begin full-scale connectivity with external chains through the establishment of a joint liquidity pool, the introduction of a 'gas abstraction' model (which enables transaction fees to be paid on behalf of users), and the implementation of a fee-burning mechanism. With the completion of the CL integration, METABORA GAMES and the Kaia Foundation established a joint liquidity provision plan and provided approximately $2 million in liquidity as of August 5. The partners plan to further boost the BORA ecosystem and enhance the token's value through additional phased liquidity injections. Additionally, a burn mechanism will be applied to the fee revenue generated from the joint liquidity pool. A certain portion of BORA-denominated profits will be burned, reinforcing the ecosystem's deflationary tokenomics. The burn rate and frequency will be adjusted flexibly in accordance with market conditions and revenue scale. The integration will also introduce a 'gas abstraction' feature, allowing users to pay transaction fees on the Kaia mainnet using BORA tokens. This enables users to cover transaction fees with BORA tokens even if they do not hold any Kaia tokens. A METABORA GAMES representative stated, 'The integration of the CL Protocol marks the first step for the BORA chain in achieving functional flexibility and scalability by structurally connecting with external public infrastructure. This signifies a transition and expansion from an independent BORA mainnet model to an interactive structure that engages with external ecosystems.' They added, 'Starting with the launch of mini Dapps based on LINE Messenger and onboarding on Kaia, we will further strengthen BORA's tokenomics by expanding external utility and operating an organic burn mechanism that functions seamlessly across multiple chains.' About METABORA METABORA is a casual game developer and the service operator of the blockchain platform BORA. The BORA ecosystem brings together partners across various industries—ranging from tokenomics and content to blockchain technology—driving innovation and collaboration across games, sports, and entertainment. BORA is a national game/entertainment token with a high liquidity in the market and reinforcing the accessibility of users and services abroad by increasing the listing on global cryptocurrency exchanges and expanding partnership.

U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism Welcomes New Leadership as Jennifer Matarangas-King is Nominated Commissioner
ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism proudly welcomes the nomination of communications and public affairs executive Jennifer Matarangas-King as the next Commissioner of Tourism. Governor Albert Bryan Jr. announced the nomination during a Government House press briefing, positioning Matarangas-King to continue building on the Department's unprecedented momentum and growth over the past six years. A native of St. Croix and a respected voice in the Virgin Islands community, Matarangas-King brings more than 30 years of experience in strategic communications, public affairs, and organizational leadership across both the public and private sectors. Her deep-rooted understanding of the Territory's culture and strong service record align with the Department's continued focus on responsible growth, innovation, and global brand expansion. 'Tourism is more than our economy. It is how we tell our story to the world and create opportunity for the people of the Virgin Islands,' shares Gov. Albert Bryan, Jr. 'Jennifer understands that. She is a strategic thinker, a skilled communicator, and a proud Virgin Islander with a deep commitment to service. I am confident that she will lead the Department of Tourism with vision and distinction.' During Commissioner Joseph Boschulte's tenure, the Department delivered one of the most transformative eras in its history, leading the Caribbean in Average Daily Rate (ADR), welcoming record-breaking air and cruise arrivals, reimagining signature festivals, launching award-winning marketing campaigns, and forging groundbreaking partnerships across sports, entertainment, and global travel markets. The Virgin Islands emerged as a premier destination during a time of global tourism disruption, with the Department's efforts driving consistent economic recovery, increased visitor spend, and all-time high collections into the Tourism Advertising and Revolving Fund (TARF). 'I am honored and humbled to be considered for this role,' said Jennifer Matarangas-King. 'Tourism is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape the future of these Virgin Islands. It drives investment, fuels entrepreneurship, and celebrates our identity. I look forward to working alongside our tourism stakeholders and the incredible team at the Department to elevate our product, empower our people, and expand our reach as a premier Caribbean destination.' Matarangas-King began her public service career as press secretary to Governor Roy Schneider and later served as public relations director for Senator Vargrave Richards. For over two decades, she played an integral leadership role at Viya and its predecessor companies, spearheading public relations, corporate communications, customer experience, and strategic planning initiatives. Through her work in telecommunications, Matarangas-King played a pivotal role in ensuring connectivity for visitors to the territory and has also served as a board member on the St. Croix Hotel Association. The Department of Tourism thanks Joseph Boschulte for his years of leadership and innovation. In the interim, Boschulte will provide support to Commissioner Matarangas-King and the Department of Tourism through the transition period, ensuring operational continuity and alignment of strategic priorities.
