Caroline Dowd-Higgins Champions Thriving Beyond Burnout In New Interview on The Burnout Club with Patrice Bonfiglio
08/07/2025, Beverly Hills California // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Caroline Dowd-Higgins, Chief Energy Officer of Caroline Dowd-Higgins Consulting, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker, joined host Patrice Bonfiglio on The Burnout Club podcast to share her journey from global opera stages to the frontlines of burnout recovery. The conversation highlighted how individuals and organizations alike can shift from perpetuating overwhelm to cultivating environments where people truly thrive. Dowd-Higgins began her career traveling the world as an opera singer, a profession she noted uniquely respects rest and recovery. However, her transition into talent development roles across higher education, nonprofits, and corporate sectors revealed a stark contrast. 'All of those industries are burn and churn. Get the most out of people for the least investment,' Dowd-Higgins said. In 2022, after confronting her own burnout, she launched her consulting firm to help others prevent the same fate. Throughout the episode, Dowd-Higgins dismantled the myths of overachievement. 'Overachievers deplete themselves to prove their worth. High achievers do extraordinary work and then go home,' she explained, urging listeners to redefine ambition in a sustainable way. She emphasized that there is no business case for burnout, pointing out how turnover, retraining costs, and declining morale erode profitability. 'Organizations thrive when their people do,' she said. Dowd-Higgins also offered actionable insights for leaders, from cutting redundant meetings to experimenting with shorter, standing gatherings that honor everyone's time. 'It's about leveraging simple, often free strategies that give people space to do their best work,' she noted. For employees, she encouraged courage and preparation when advocating for change. 'Don't wing it. Practice making your case with facts and a calm mindset. You teach people how to treat you.' Her perspective on recovery was equally personal. 'I didn't realize how burned out I was until I left. It took nearly a year to fully feel like myself again,' Dowd-Higgins shared. Now, she helps clients reclaim agency and protect their well-being without abandoning their ambitions. 'Thriving starts when you stop waiting for permission.'

TS VERTEX Unveils H2 2025 Development Plan: Accelerating Globalization to Elevate Intelligent Financial Services
07/21/2025, Albuquerque, New Mexico // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Against the backdrop of evolving global fintech, TS VERTEX is rapidly emerging as a representative of the new generation of intelligent trading platforms. Today, the platform released its H2 2025 development plan, announcing a full-scale acceleration of global market expansion and further consolidation of its strategic position in intelligent financial services. Notable H1 Achievements: Full Implementation of Intelligent Trading Ecosystem According to TS VERTEX, as of July 2025, the platform's ecosystem has completed a comprehensive upgrade, integrating diverse asset classes including cryptocurrencies, stocks, foreign exchange, and bonds. Powered by robust algorithm-driven technology and a global spread-capturing mechanism, the platform's daily trading volume exceeded $300 million, with registered users surpassing 500,000, boasting a mature operational system and stable trading architecture. Meanwhile, the total circulation of TS VERTEX's TSX tokens has exceeded 10 million, entering a phase of steady value release. TSX, as a core tool for measuring user behavior value and ecological incentives, will drive increased trading participation and partnership building. The platform has initiated on-chain preparations for TSX, with an expected official launch between December 2025 and March 2026, injecting stronger liquidity and trust mechanisms into the ecosystem. Four Strategic Pillars: Mapping a New Blueprint for Global Expansion In H2 2025, TS VERTEX will focus on four core directions to accelerate the globalization of intelligent financial services: Investment in Regional Markets The platform will allocate dedicated operational resources to key regions such as North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. Leveraging data insights to optimize local product design and implement region-specific market strategies, it aims to significantly boost user activity in these key regions by Q4 2025. TSX tokens will simultaneously launch incentive mechanism pilots in local markets to accelerate scenario-based adoption. Local Brand Centers TS VERTEX plans to set up brand centers in multiple key cities, integrating consulting, training, services, and community functions to serve as critical bridges connecting local users. TSX tokens will be incorporated into the operational system of these centers as key credentials for community management and user engagement measurement, further increasing token usage frequency and practical value. Global Service Network Building on its cross-border infrastructure, the platform will expand its localized service network to over 20 markets, offering multilingual customer support, compliance guidance, and streamlined onboarding processes to ensure a unified global trading experience. Alongside network expansion, TSX tokens will gradually integrate into functions such as multi-currency payments, trading fee discounts, and community contribution rewards. Financing and TSX On-Chain Launch TS VERTEX plans to initiate multiple rounds of strategic financing in H2 to fund subsequent technological advancements and global expansion. Concurrently, TSX tokens are steadily progressing toward on-chain readiness, with an expected launch between December 2025 and March 2026. Additionally, the company has kicked off IPO preparations to further enhance brand credibility and market transparency. Building a Globally Trusted Intelligent Trading Platform Industry analysts note that TS VERTEX's plan fully demonstrates the forward-looking positioning of its 'dual-drive' strategy (technology + global 布局) in the global fintech landscape. Through the TSX token-driven ecological closed-loop and highly focused regional expansion, the platform is systematically building an intelligent financial ecosystem connecting global users and serving multi-asset classes. As TSX's on-chain process advances and international strategies take root, TS VERTEX is poised to unlock greater growth potential globally and continue leading the new paradigm of intelligent trading platforms.

Ink, Spirit, and Cultural Resonance: Xu Zhongou's Solo Exhibition Beauty of Harmony & Unity Opens at MEMOR Museum
05/28/2025, New York, New York // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // NEW YORK, NY — Memor Museum, New York's only museum dedicated to Asian cultural expression on the Upper East Side, presents Beauty of Harmony & Unity, a solo exhibition by Chinese artist and educator Xu Zhongou, opening June 3 with a preview artist conversation on May 23. The exhibition showcases Xu's acclaimed 'color-ink' series, a profound reinterpretation of Chinese calligraphy as a contemporary visual and philosophical language. This exhibition continues Memor's commitment to cross-cultural dialogue through artistic depth. 'In a world increasingly fragmented, we hope to offer an answer from the East: not confrontation, not rupture, but harmony, coexistence, and symbiosis,' said Willa Ao, director and curator of Memor Museum. 'Xu Zhongou is not only a deeply thoughtful artist, but he is also an educator whose work aligns with our mission of cultural and spiritual reflection.' Best known for his long-running series In the Name of Walnut, Xu's practice transforms traditional materials into vehicles for spiritual inquiry. In Beauty of Harmony & Unity, he dissolves the boundary between ink and image, freeing the brush from textual meaning and allowing color to play a central role — an act he calls 'releasing writing from the character system.' Color, drawn from temple aesthetics, is used not as ornamentation but as a symbolic language grounded in folk traditions and ritual. As the artist writes, 'Writing is no longer just about the act of writing. It becomes a way to summon the senses, activate emotion, and connect with belief.' The exhibition is curated by Willa Ao, with executive curation by Wei Mengying, who describes the collaboration as transformative: 'Working alongside Professor Xu has been an experience of profound nourishment. He is never the distant 'authority,' but a warm, humble educator who brings deep care to every moment — his persistence, his reverence for thought, his precision in every detail left a lasting impression on me,' said Wei. 'His works are not just visual languages, but spiritual practices. And the 'harmony' we speak of is not just a curatorial theme — it's who he is.' Xu began his explorations into color-ink abstraction in the 1990s while serving as a visiting professor at Maryland Institute College of Art. In 1995, he was commissioned to paint a portrait of former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, now housed in the Bush Presidential Library. His works are held in permanent collections including the British Museum and the Muban Educational Trust in the U.K. 'In a time when art must respond to the deeply layered structure of the world,' Xu writes, 'we must move from a flat perspective to a dimensional one — to think and create in step with the rhythm of our time.' Beauty of Harmony & Unity will run through summer 2025 at Memor Museum, accompanied by public programming including guided tours, family workshops, and artist talks. About Memor Museum: Memor Museum, the organization behind this exhibition, is a global leader in pioneering museum experiences at the intersection of culture and technology. With multiple sites worldwide, it is dedicated to cultural heritage preservation through innovative exhibition planning, immersive and interactive experiences, and a diverse range of activities that bring history to life. The museum complex frequently engages in projects related to artifact preservation and restoration, development of relevant technologies, and the creation of cultural heritage IPs. Memor Museum's commitment to protecting and utilizing cultural heritage ensures that exhibitions like Sanxingdui Encounter remain dynamic, educational, and deeply engaging. Visit them on the Upper East Side at 1130 Madison Ave. For more information on the exhibition and to explore Memor Museum's global initiatives, visit

'We Are Awake' Initiative has sent official letters to all the MPs of Armenian Parliament
05/06/2025, Yerevan, Armenia // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Yerevan, Armenia – May 6, 2025 — Hayk Mamijanyan, the leader of the opposition parliamentary faction 'Pativ Unem' ('I Have Honor,') has announced that he and his colleagues are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Speaking to the press, Mamijanyan emphasized that the most viable path to political change at this stage is through a vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister. 'We express our full readiness, without any preconditions, to begin discussions around a candidate for Prime Minister and to initiate the process of expressing no confidence in Nikol Pashinyan,' he stated. While the faction does not currently have a specific candidate for the premiership, all six members of 'I Have Honor' have signed on to support the motion of no confidence. Mamijanyan also noted the faction's willingness to support former President Robert Kocharyan for the role of Prime Minister, should the opposition alliance 'Armenia' formally propose his candidacy. The call for impeachment follows a wave of public demonstrations in Yerevan during the summer of 2024, where protesters demanded Pashinyan's resignation and a halt to the ongoing border delimitation process with Azerbaijan. Despite the mounting pressure, Parliamentary Speaker Alen Simonyan previously stated that the Armenian government is not considering early elections in response to opposition protests. This political development comes shortly after Prime Minister Pashinyan affirmed, during a joint appearance with the Estonian Prime Minister, that Armenia has no intention of damaging its relations with Russia.
