Austin landscape contractor Outdoor Renovations outlines its single-contract design-build model for hardscaping, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and landscape lighting as Central Texas homeowners plan projects for the 2026 summer season. Austin, Texas, United States, 19th May 2026 — Outdoor Renovations, a licensed landscape contractor serving the greater Austin metro area, is detailing its design-build approach for homeowners planning outdoor living projects during the 2026 summer season. As Central Texas enters its peak season for backyard construction, the company is emphasizing how a single-contract model reduces the coordination problems that often delay multi-trade landscape projects.Founded in 2022 by Licensed Landscape Contractor Kyle Stoutenger, Outdoor Renovations has completed more than 200 residential and commercial projects across the Austin metro area. The company maintains a 99 percent client satisfaction rate and provides a one-year service guarantee on all completed work.One Contract, Eight ServicesSummer outdoor living projects in Central Texas frequently combine several trades. A single backyard renovation can involve hardscaping, custom carpentry, planting, irrigation, and lighting, with each stage depending on the one before it. When homeowners hire separate contractors for each piece, scheduling gaps and rework are common.Outdoor Renovations handles all eight of its services under one contract and one point of contact. The company provides custom landscape design with to-scale 2D plans and photorealistic 3D renderings, professional hardscaping that includes patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire features, custom carpentry for pergolas, decks, fences, and privacy screens, softscaping and planting with species selected for Central Texas conditions, smart irrigation and drainage, professional landscape lighting, custom metal fabrication, and ongoing property management. Details on each service are available at https://outdoorreno.com/services/hardscaping and across the full service catalog.Why Summer Projects Reward Early PlanningThe design phase shapes the budget and the build schedule. Outdoor Renovations starts every project with a master plan that documents grading, drainage, materials, and layout before construction begins. On hillside limestone lots and properties with mature live oak canopies, this planning step prevents the costly mid-project changes that often occur when work begins without a documented design. Homeowners who begin the design process early in the season are better positioned to complete construction before peak heat. The company outlines its planning process at https://outdoorreno.com/services/landscape-design/.Landscape lighting has become a frequent addition to summer outdoor living projects, extending the usable hours of patios, kitchens, and entertaining areas into the evening. Outdoor Renovations designs and installs lighting as part of an integrated plan rather than as a separate add-on, which keeps wiring, hardscape, and planting coordinated. More information is available at https://outdoorreno.com/services/landscape-lighting.Built for Central Texas ConditionsStoutenger noted that summer construction in the Austin area carries specific demands."Central Texas heat, alkaline limestone soils, and drought conditions all affect what materials and plant species perform over time," said Kyle Stoutenger, owner of Outdoor Renovations. “A summer project that is designed and sequenced correctly holds up. One that is rushed without a plan usually does not. The value of the design-build model is that one team owns the outcome from the first drawing through the final walkthrough.”Outdoor Renovations is a Licensed Landscape Contractor, fully bonded and insured. Complimentary on-site consultations are available for residential and commercial properties across the Austin metro area. Additional project information is available at https://outdoorreno.com.

Six-time Grammy Award winner Daniel Ho, artists from more than 20 countries and the Cuban youth orchestra Son de Sol will gather in Monopoli for five days of free events, concerts, workshops, street performances and late-night jam sessions United States, 19th May 2026 - From May 28 to June 1, 2026, the city of Monopoli, in Puglia, will once again host a festival that, in just four editions, has gained international recognition, attracted audiences from more than twenty countries and generated a direct economic impact exceeding €100,000 per edition.Founded in 2022 by Mauro Minenna and Salvo McGraffio, Monopolele – Mediterranean Ukulele Fest reached a major milestone in 2025 when it received the Jury Award for Best Festival worldwide at the Ukies, the most authoritative recognition within the global ukulele community.The award confirms the growing international profile of an event supported by Regione Puglia, Grandi Eventi 2026 and the Municipality of Monopoli, and capable of turning an instrument often perceived as niche into a coherent, accessible and internationally recognised cultural platform.A concrete model for international cultural tourismThe festival’s numbers speak clearly. Over the last two editions, around two thirds of the audience came from abroad, with visitors from Germany, France, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and several other countries.International visitors stay in Monopoli for an average of more than five nights, while 85% say they intend to return the following year. In 2024 and 2025, the festival generated more than €100,000 per edition in direct local economic impact, benefiting accommodation facilities, restaurants, technical services and local suppliers.At a time when off-season tourism development is often discussed in abstract terms, Monopolele offers a concrete case: an international cultural event able to bring visitors to Puglia before the peak of the summer season, while creating measurable value for the local area.For five days, Monopoli’s old town, ancient harbour, churches, cloisters and open-air spaces become stages for concerts, workshops, spontaneous performances and late-night jam sessions. Access to the main events remains free, a choice that has been part of the festival’s identity since the first edition and continues to make participation one of its defining features.The 2026 programme: from Hawaii to EuropeThe 2026 line-up brings together leading names from the international ukulele scene.Daniel Ho, from Hawaii, is a six-time Grammy Award winner and one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary Hawaiian music.Gaute Søderholm, also known as Norwegian Uke, is the first musician to have earned a degree in Norwegian folk music with the ukulele as his main instrument.French artist Jane For Tea blends chanson and acoustic pop with elegance and personality. Dutch duo Sage & Zaza create a refined dialogue between vintage jazz and Hawaiian influences.British artist Arlo Anwin works with loop stations and field recordings, expanding the expressive possibilities of the instrument.The all-female Slovakian Paper Moon Trio revives the vocal harmonies of the 1920s and 1930s through original arrangements. They will be joined by Four String Boy, London-based Ukulele Ska Collective and award-winning Italian singer-songwriter Erica Mou, who will perform during the grand finale in Piazza XX Settembre.One of the most distinctive sections of the festival will be Sound Embraces, featuring double bassist and composer Paolo Damiani, a central figure in European jazz, former artistic director of the French National Jazz Orchestra and one of the founders of the Italian Instabile Orchestra. At Monopolele, Damiani will bring his double bass into direct dialogue with ukulele virtuosos, creating one of the most unexpected encounters of the 2026 edition.Education, inclusion and international communityOn Friday, May 29, on the steps of the Cathedral, around one hundred young musicians from institutes in Monopoli, Bari and Sulmona will perform together with the Cuban youth orchestra Son de Sol. The orchestra will also return for the closing night in Piazza XX Settembre alongside Erica Mou and the other artists of the grand finale.The 2026 edition will also host “Specchi”, a dance and ukulele project involving children and adults with disabilities, accompanied by Daniel Ho. The project reflects one of the most recognisable aspects of Monopolele: a festival that lends instruments during beginner workshops, brings music into public spaces and allows professionals, amateurs and first-time participants to share the same musical context.A further new feature will be four consecutive late-night outdoor jam sessions, from Thursday to Sunday, led by invited international ensembles including the Ukulele Big Band of Ankara, Ukulele Tuesday from Dublin and a group from Galway. The organisers describe the format as “an absolute rarity on the world ukulele scene”.The festival’s street performances are another defining element: six sessions across the three central days, held in three iconic locations in the historic centre — Largo Garibaldi, Piazza Garibaldi and Largo Castello. More than a traditional open mic, they turn the city itself into a stage and remove the distance between performers and audience.The digital dimension confirms the reach achieved by the festival. Over four years, Monopolele has built an active international community, supported not only by its official channels but also by the direct participation of guest artists and global ukulele communities. The festival’s Facebook page now exceeds 12,000 followers, while reels published in recent months have reached almost one million total views, with the most viewed content surpassing 643,000 views.Monopolele 2026 stands as an Italian case of international cultural relevance: a festival where music, accessibility, global reputation and local impact converge in a form that now extends far beyond the usual perimeter of a sector event.

Safe Ship Moving Services, a veteran-owned FMCSA-compliant moving broker, coordinates approximately 40,000 household relocations annually across the U.S. United States, 19th May 2026 - Safe Ship Moving Services, a veteran-owned interstate moving brokerage operating under federal compliance standards, coordinates approximately 40,000 household relocations per year through a vetted network of FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers nationwide. The company's federally regulated broker model centers on connecting customers with qualified transportation providers while managing scheduling, logistics, and dedicated support from initial planning through final delivery.Unlike direct carriers, Safe Ship Moving Services operates as a moving broker under guidelines established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration - a distinction the company communicates clearly to every customer it serves. Its coordination teams oversee carrier vetting, move scheduling, and service oversight throughout each relocation. That operational structure is not incidental; it reflects the company's founding commitment to transparency, regulatory compliance, and accountability in a sector where role clarity directly affects consumer outcomes.At a volume of 40,000 interstate moves coordinated annually, consistent process execution is structural rather than aspirational. Safe Ship maintains standards for carrier selection - requiring FMCSA licensure and insurance coverage across its network - while providing customers with a clear understanding of what the broker manages, what licensed carriers execute, and what federal requirements govern both. This framework addresses one of the most persistent challenges in the moving industry: the gap between customer expectation and operational reality.As a veteran-owned business, Safe Ship Moving Services brings a service-oriented foundation to its work in the relocation sector. The values of discipline, accountability, and honest communication - central to military culture - inform how the company structures its operations, trains its teams, and manages customer relationships. The company's designation as a Medal of Honor Donor to the National Veterans Day Parade Foundation further reflects its sustained commitment to the veteran community it represents.Safe Ship Moving ServicesSafe Ship Moving Services operates at the intersection of federal compliance and customer-focused service, maintaining a vetted carrier network and structured logistics model built to support the demands of long-distance household relocation at scale.Safe Ship Moving ServicesGrounded in veteran-owned values and FMCSA regulatory standards, Safe Ship Moving Services continues to build its operational footprint by prioritizing carrier accountability, process transparency, and consistent service delivery across each interstate relocation it coordinates.About Safe Ship Moving ServicesSafe Ship Moving Services is a veteran-owned interstate moving brokerage that coordinates household relocations through a network of FMCSA-licensed and insured carriers.

United States, 19th May 2026 - Meet the Alphabet Sheep: Quiet now? Not quite. Bath taken, meal finished, tiny clothes changed, lamps turned low. Yet the little ones - still alert. Eyes open wide, fixed on the ceiling, needing another drink, circling back through today's classroom moments, asking questions about everything and nothing. Ring a bell?Gloria Dance has walked through this moment more than once. Life handed it to her first as a mom, then again later as a grandma, until she chose words as her way through it. What came next arrived after decades of teaching - twenty-five years full of chalk and small chairs - when one quiet thought appeared: could counting sheep turn into something kids actually enjoy? That idea grew legs. It became Counting Alphabet Sheep. Not planned. Just honest.Here is the setup. Two children lie in bed, wide awake, brains buzzing. Beyond their window, a green pasture stretches out, dotted with sheep. Not your usual kind though. Every animal wears a letter stitched into its fleece. Each has a name beginning with that same letter. And each is caught doing something silly - adopting ants, flying kites, splashing through streams.Ace feels something tiny creeping across his nose. Out beyond the fence, Gina struts through tall grass wearing oversized sunglasses, acting like the whole field belongs to her. A hat sits perfectly tilted on Hakeem's head - strange thing for a sheep to pull off so well. Up above, a wild purple creature dances on the wind, held tight by Katie's steady grip. Meanwhile, Quentin stands frozen beside a skunk who wandered a little too close for comfort.Twenty-six sheep in total. Every single one gets a moment in the spotlight.Here is the clever part. Hidden beneath all the goofy scenes, each sentence sticks to one letter sound. Darius dines on delicious dandelions. Poppy picks purple pansies. William watches wiggly worms. Kids laugh at sheep splashing through puddles and munching flowers, but their ears are catching every repeated sound along the way. They are sorting consonants, storing new words, practicing phonics without a worksheet in sight. A classroom trick dressed up as nonsense. Learning happens and they never notice. Exactly as it should be.The illustrations pull serious weight too. These are not simple backgrounds. Every page is packed with detail. A winding blue stream cuts through rolling green hills. Butterflies drift past wildflowers. A city skyline and a bridge sit far off in the distance. No two sheep look alike. Benji has a dark black face. Carli bounces along in rainbow curls of every color. Gina peers out from behind those big sunglasses with total confidence. On the two big spread pages where all twenty-six sheep appear together, hidden details sit tucked into corners and behind bushes - perfect for sharp young eyes that love to search and find.Now, about that ending. Someone in the flock was not who they seemed, right from the very first page. Turns out, not even close to being a sheep. The reveal lands fast and warm, catching you off guard in the best way. It is the kind of twist that sends children scrambling back to page one, hunting for clues they missed the first time. That is all you get. Go find the book yourself.Teachers should take note. This story slides right into early literacy work. Letter recognition, initial sound practice, vocabulary building, observation skills through the hidden sheep hunt on the group pages. A full week of kindergarten lessons could grow from this without much effort. But it works just as well at home, whispered in a dim bedroom at eight p.m. with a child curled up close.Dance wrote this book because she could not sleep. Too many ideas racing through her head at night, too many bedtime stories she had told her twin granddaughters that never made it onto paper. So she finally sat down and wrote them. What came out reads like something shaped by years of watching children learn, because that is exactly what it is. She knows what grabs their attention, what makes them laugh, and what sticks with them after the lights go out.Counting Alphabet Sheep is warm without being sugary, educational without being preachy, and funny in the way that only works when the person writing it genuinely cares about kids. Most children's books miss that balance. This one nails it.About the AuthorGloria Dance began her working life in technology, computers, and mathematics before discovering her real calling in education. She returned to college, earned a degree in education, and spent twenty-five years as a classroom teacher working with elementary and middle school students. Her school focused on telecommunications and writing, and her education work reached local, state, national, and international levels. Now retired, Gloria fills her days with painting, pastels, and pine needle sculpture - arts she once set aside during her teaching years. The idea for Counting Alphabet Sheep came from bedtime stories she told her twin granddaughters. When too many ideas kept her awake at night, she turned them into her first children's book.Click here to get your copy now.For updates, visit this website:www.authorgloriadance.comYou can also follow the author on social media for insights, updates, and upcoming releases:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/countingalphabetsheepbook/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/countingalphabetsheep/ Media Contact Organization: Gloria Dance Contact Person: Gloria Dance Website: https://authorgloriadance.com/ Email: Send Email Country:United States Release id:45183 The post Bedtime Just Got a Whole Lot Woolier appeared first on King Newswire.

He also held VP Finance responsibility for ADM's Global Pet Solutions platform, which scaled at approximately 20% CAGR through targeted restructuring and repositioning.Prior to ADM, he held senior roles at Kellogg Company, including VP Finance for Kellogg North America and Senior Director of Corporate Development and Strategy, overseeing a major global restructuring program from design through cross-functional execution. Earlier, at Booz & Company, he advised clients on corporate strategy, post-merger integration, go-to-market transformation, and operational improvement - a foundation that shaped the structured analytical approach he has applied throughout his operating career. Anubhav Mittal holds an MBA from Harvard Business School with a concentration in Finance and Strategy, a Bachelor of Technology from IIT Kanpur where he graduated in the top 5% of his class, and both the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) designations.About Anubhav MittalAnubhav Mittal is VP and Global Head of Business Development & M&A at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), where he leads the company's global corporate development agenda across acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships.

United States, 19th May 2026 - Most people count themselves lucky to find one great love. Andrina Lejon found two. Her new poetry collection, My Two Soulmates, covers nearly sixty years of living inside that rare and extraordinary fortune, and what happens when both loves are taken away.Lejon does not tiptoe around anything. She married Gerrit when she was young, barely past girlhood, after he showed up at her door and her mother told him to leave. He came back. They built a life, had children, became the kind of couple people stopped distinguishing between. Then Primo entered her life and opened something else entirely, a faith she did not know she was missing. One man gave her roots and courage, the other offered faith. She lost them both.The early poems sit in the good years. Lejon writes about meeting Gerrit at twelve, the way two people can grow so close that their separateness stops making sense. These pages feel lived in, not decorated. You get the impression she wrote them with her shoes off, sitting on the kitchen floor.Then the ground drops. Gerrit gets sick, and Lejon walks the reader through it without looking away. She writes about the newspaper nobody picks up anymore, the winter jacket still hanging by the door, one place setting where there used to be two. She puts you in a hospital ward where everyone knows what is coming and nobody is ready. These are not big sweeping grief poems. They are quiet, close, and unflinching.It's not just sadness that shapes this book. Between lines about what's gone, threads appear, thin ones, pulling toward wider spaces. Not prayers exactly, but speech aimed upward, outward, into gaps where meaning might live. Voices stretch past names, touch something nameless yet familiar. Old rhythms show up here, like breath borrowed from desert mystics long gone. Rumi walks close in her words, though never copied. Each poem feels unsteady on purpose, standing bare in confusion and calling that space sacred anyway.What grabs you first is how far the book reaches. Not just inward, but out, toward kids caught in bombing raids, elderly people scraping by on European streets, silence where empathy should be. One page holds Gaza, the next a misty glen, then two figures touching under moonlight. Politics slip into private thoughts like sand through fingers, yet she never stumbles. Love keeps reappearing, quiet but firm, like a thread tied around everything broken.And yes, there's skin too, heat, breath held close. Out of nowhere, Lejon tackles want with an edge nobody sees coming. Fire isn't just for youth, and she proves it. One poem pins a ceiling fan and a bloom stretching toward one another, strange, soft, unforgettable once you've read it.My Two Soulmates unfolds in halves, yet some verses show up again, much like echoes inside a melody. That repetition is intentional. Affection returns. Sorrow loops. What the heart can't release, it replays.Pick this book up if you have ever sat in a room that used to hold someone and felt the walls still hold their presence. Pick it up if you still talk to people who are gone and wonder whether they hear you. Lejon is not trying to teach you anything about love. She is just telling you what it did to her, all of it, and trusting you to find your own reflection somewhere in these pages.My Two Soulmates by Andrina Lejon is available now.About the AuthorAndrina Lejon was born in Scotland and now calls Ontario, Canada home. Rumi is the poet she keeps closest, and his influence runs through everything she writes. Her earlier collections include War of Innocents, Garden Dream, and For You Alone. With My Two Soulmates, she lays out a lifetime of loving two men who changed her completely, and what was left of her after they were gone.Click here to get your copy now.For updates, visit this website:www.authorandrinalejon.comYou can also follow the author on social media for insights, updates, and upcoming releases:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyTwoSoulmates Media Contact Organization: Andrina Wiltink Contact Person: Andrina Wiltink Website: https://authorandrinalejon.com/ Email: Send Email Country:United States Release id:45182 The post A Heart That Loved Twice: Andrina Lejon's "My Two Soulmates" Is a Poetry Collection Unlike Any Other appeared first on King Newswire.

Dandenong, VIC 3175, Australia, 19th May 2026 - Cafe Chairs Melbourne, a respected supplier of commercial hospitality furniture in Australia, has released new insights into the furniture trends influencing modern cafes, restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues across the country. The findings reflect changing priorities among venue operators seeking practical, durable, and visually cohesive furniture solutions suited to evolving customer expectations and day-to-day operational requirements.The Australian hospitality industry continues to adapt to shifting dining habits, flexible venue layouts, and increased demand for functional indoor and outdoor spaces. According to Cafe Chairs Melbourne, furniture selection has become an increasingly important consideration for hospitality businesses focused on customer comfort, operational efficiency, and long-term value.The company has identified several key trends currently shaping hospitality furniture purchasing decisions, including the growing use of modular seating, lightweight commercial chairs, weather-resistant outdoor furniture, and adaptable table configurations. Venue owners are also placing greater emphasis on furniture materials capable of handling high daily usage while maintaining visual consistency over time.Outdoor dining continues to remain a major focus throughout the hospitality sector, particularly as cafes and restaurants continue investing in alfresco dining areas. Commercial venues are increasingly selecting furniture designed to withstand Australian weather conditions while reducing ongoing maintenance requirements. Stackable seating, compact table arrangements, and movable furniture options are also becoming more common as hospitality operators seek greater flexibility within limited floor spaces.Cafe Chairs Melbourne supplies a wide range of hospitality furniture products, including indoor and outdoor chairs, stools, tables, benches, and aluminium furniture suitable for cafes, restaurants, bars, and commercial venues. A spokesperson for Cafe Chairs Melbourne said hospitality businesses are increasingly prioritising furniture selections that support both venue presentation and operational functionality.“Hospitality venues are increasingly prioritising furniture selections that support practical venue layouts while creating comfortable and visually consistent dining environments,” the spokesperson said. “Demand continues to grow for seating and table solutions that combine durability, flexibility, and functionality across indoor and outdoor hospitality spaces.”The company reports that neutral colour palettes, timber-look finishes, powder-coated metal frames, and minimalist furniture styles continue to influence modern hospitality interiors. At the same time, many commercial venues are incorporating mixed-material furniture combinations to create distinctive dining aesthetics aligned with contemporary cafe design trends.According to Cafe Chairs Melbourne, furniture longevity and maintenance requirements are becoming more significant considerations for hospitality businesses managing ongoing operational costs. Commercial operators are increasingly seeking furniture products designed for long-term commercial use with reduced upkeep requirements, particularly within high-traffic dining environments.The company has also observed growing interest in customised seating layouts tailored to the operational needs of individual hospitality venues. Flexible furniture configurations are helping businesses accommodate a wider variety of customer groups, including individual diners, casual gatherings, and larger bookings. Adaptable seating arrangements also allow venues to adjust layouts throughout the day depending on customer traffic and service periods.Sustainability considerations continue to influence purchasing decisions in the hospitality industry. Venue operators are showing increased interest in durable furniture manufactured for extended commercial use and reduced replacement frequency. Hospitality businesses are also placing greater attention on overall product quality and long-term value when planning venue refurbishments or new fit-outs.In addition to aesthetics and durability, customer comfort remains an important factor in the planning of hospitality venues. Seating designed for extended dining periods is helping venues improve customer experience while supporting practical functionality for staff and venue operations. Cafe Chairs Melbourne noted that furniture now plays an increasingly important role in shaping overall venue atmosphere and customer perception.The spokesperson said hospitality furniture trends are expected to continue evolving alongside broader changes within the Australian hospitality sector.“Hospitality businesses are expected to continue investing in furniture solutions that support adaptable dining spaces, efficient venue operations, and long-term commercial performance,” the spokesperson said. “Furniture trends within the cafe and hospitality sector are likely to remain focused on flexibility, durability, and practical design suited to modern customer expectations.”Cafe Chairs Melbourne supplies commercial furniture solutions to hospitality and business venues throughout Australia.

Ahead of its official launch, Emotions You Know helps people identify emotions before reacting, improving communication across families, schools, and workplaces United States, 19th May 2026 - Churmell Mitchell is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Emotions You Know which is a conversation-based board and card game created to help children and adults to learn emotional vocabulary. The goal is to ensure that people can now communicate their feelings thereby strengthening communication in various stratas of human interaction. The game is designed to be interactive rather than a traditional competitive game. Participants play the game through structured prompts and reflective exercises that convert emotional awareness into usable language. Playing the game will help people to know what they are feeling and express how they feel clearly. “Most breakdowns in families, classrooms, and in organizations are not because people do not care,” explained Mitchell. “They happen because people are at loss for words to define and communicate how and what they are feeling. Also, it is because they are not asked the right questions. When someone cannot name what they feel, they act on it. Emotions You Know is going to fix that, letting you turn emotions into clear language.” Emotions You Know is going to expose players to a broad spectrum of emotional vocabulary which will help them to be able to identify how they are feeling at any point. The game creates an avenue for clarity, reflection, and intentional communication. It is designed to be used across generations - from kids who are still trying to understand themselves to adults who engage with others in leadership and workplace environments - everyone has a version of the game that fits them perfectly.As part of its global expansion strategy, the game is being built to include multilingual access with the rollout phase in English, Spanish, and Portuguese with subsequent updates to feature other languages. Accessibility is a major concern for Churmell Mitchell, ensuring the game is fitting for all age groups and people in different cultural contexts. “Our global launch is about access,” Mitchell added. “We’re expanding Emotions You Know across languages and accessibility formats so more families, leaders, schools, and organizations can strengthen communication using tools that are simple, practical, and easy to implement. The need for emotional clarity isn’t local - it’s universal.”“Our global launch is focused on making the game accessible,” Mitchell added. “We are working to expand Emotions You Know across languages and to produce versions that are fitting for family, leaders, schools, and organizational settings. The need for emotional clarity is not local but universal - it affects every environment where human interaction happens.”The original use for the game was in families and schools. However, while still being in its developmental stages, it has attracted interest from leadership teams and organizations who see it as a tool to improve the culture and performance in workplaces. Leaders believe that by teaching team members and employees emotional language, it would improve workplace culture and reduce conflict. “Emotions You Know isn’t just a game — it’s a communication tool that helps people move from reaction to clarity,” Mitchell said. “When emotional language improves, culture improves. And when culture improves, performance follows.”The official release of the game will be announced in the coming weeks. There is a free guide available on emotionsyouknow.com which contains information on how to moderate and play the game. About Churmell Mitchell Churmell Mitchell is the creator of Emotions You Know, a conversation-based emotional vocabulary board and card game built to strengthen communication, connection, and decision-making across families, schools, and organizations. He is a recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing his commitment to community impact and service. Known for his work helping communities improve emotional clarity and culture, Mitchell developed Emotions You Know to provide a practical, repeatable tool people can use immediately in real life, not just in theory.

Bali Tourism Run 2026 will take place on June 21, 2026, in the UNESCO-listed Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, combining sport tourism, cultural experiences and sustainable travel. Organized by ASITA Bali and tourism stakeholders, the event aims to promote community-based tourism, support local businesses and position Bali as a leading sustainable tourism destination in Southeast Asia. Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, 19th May 2026 — Bali’s tourism industry is set to launch a new international sport tourism initiative as Bali Tourism Run 2026 prepares to take place on June 21, 2026, in the UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape of Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.Organized by the Bali chapter of the Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA Bali) in collaboration with Bali Tourism Board, the Provincial Government of Bali, and tourism stakeholders across the island, the event is designed to combine sport tourism, cultural tourism and sustainable travel experiences within one of Bali’s most iconic rural destinations.The inaugural Bali Tourism Run 2026 will feature a 5-kilometer route through the scenic rice terrace landscape of Jatiluwih, offering participants an immersive experience that extends beyond the race itself.Organizers say the event is part of a broader effort to encourage quality tourism in Bali by promoting destinations rooted in local culture, environmental awareness and community-based tourism.“Through Bali Tourism Run, we want to show that Jatiluwih is a high-quality destination that is safe, comfortable and worthy of global attention,” said I Putu Winastra, Chairman of ASITA Bali and initiator of the event.Unlike large-scale urban marathons, Bali Tourism Run 2026 will limit participation to approximately 2,000 runners following environmental carrying-capacity assessments conducted for the Jatiluwih area.Organizers emphasized that preserving the integrity of the UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape remains a top priority.“If the event becomes too large, it could create environmental pressure and negatively impact the destination,” Winastra added.The event also aims to support local economic activity by involving small businesses, culinary vendors, village tourism operators and homestay owners in the surrounding Jatiluwih area.Participants will be encouraged to explore rural tourism experiences beyond the race, including local food, traditional Balinese village life and community-based tourism activities.Chairman of the organizing committee I Wayan Suberata said the timing of the event coincides with Indonesia’s school holiday period, Bali Arts Festival season and increased domestic travel demand.“Our main goal is to encourage more domestic and international visitors to experience Bali during this important tourism period,” Suberata said.The event weekend will also feature the Jatiluwih Festival on June 20, 2026, one day prior to the main race, further expanding cultural and tourism activities in the region.Registration for Bali Tourism Run 2026 is currently open through Official Bali Tourism Run 2026 Registration Page.Early bird registration is available for IDR 250,000 until May 21, 2026, while regular registration will be priced at IDR 300,000 afterward. Registration packages include a race jersey, finisher medal, amenities and vouchers redeemable at participating local businesses.In addition to tourism promotion, Bali Tourism Run 2026 will also support community-focused social initiatives, including scholarships for underprivileged children and housing assistance programs in Bali.Organizers expect Bali Tourism Run to evolve into an annual tourism event rotating across multiple regions in Bali as part of preparations toward the “100 Years of Bali Tourism” milestone in 2027.

Cynergy Color Bar, a leading hair salon in Wake Forest, earned national recognition as a 2026 Salon Today 200 winner in the Growth category after achieving a remarkable 32.4% revenue increase. Owned by Cynthia Perry, the salon has now received this prestigious honor five times, solidifying its reputation as one of the top-performing salons in the United States. Known for expert hair color, extensions, balayage, and precision cuts, the salon combines advanced technology, strong team culture, and personalized client experiences to fuel rapid growth. Cynergy Color Bar also stands out for its community involvement, environmental sustainability as a certified Green Circle Salon, and exceptional customer satisfaction across Wake Forest and surrounding areas. How Cynthia Perry & Her Team Built the Fastest-Growing Salon in Wake Forest Wake Forest, North Carolina, United States, 19th May 2026 – Cynergy Color Bar, the award-winning best hair salon in Wake Forest, NC, has been named to the 2026 Salon Today 200 by SALON TODAY magazine in the Growth category. This marks the fifth time the salon, owned by Cynthia Perry and located at 1970 South Main Street, Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587, has earned this prestigious national honor — cementing Cynergy Color Bar’s position as one of the top-performing salons in the United States.The 2026 Growth award recognizes Cynergy Color Bar’s remarkable 32.4% increase in revenue. For a salon operating in just 1,320 square feet with a team of 15, that level of growth is a testament to the systems, culture, and client experience Cynthia Perry and her team have built from the ground up.What Is the Salon Today 200?Now in its 29th year, the Salon Today 200 is the salon industry’s most respected business competition. Published in the Spring 2026 edition of SALON TODAY, the annual list profiles the 200 top-performing salons in the country across 11 best-practice categories: Growth, Business Builders, Client Retention and Referral, Compensation and Benefits, Customer Service, Employee Education, Environmental Sustainability, Philanthropy, Retail and Merchandising, Salon Culture, and Technology.To qualify, salons must have been open since January 1, 2023, generate at least $250,000 in annual revenue, and submit detailed sales data along with essays about their business practices, biggest challenges, and growth strategies. Every submission is tabulated and judged, and only the top 200 salons are selected nationwide.“This year’s competition studied how salons are leading their businesses to realize growth despite challenges such as employee recruitment, employee retention, economic instability, and rising costs,” said Stacey Soble, director of brand content strategy for SALON TODAY. “For these small business owners, it has been several years of pivoting and adapting to rapid changes, and these honorees really proved their business acumen and leadership skills.”Why Cynergy Color Bar Won the Growth AwardCynergy Color Bar’s 32.4% growth did not happen by accident. It is the result of intentional decisions Cynthia Perry has made over the past several years — investing in her team, upgrading her technology, refining her service menu, and building a salon culture that retains both stylists and clients at an exceptional rate.One of the key strategies Perry credits is a “sharing contract” that every team member signs. This agreement gives the salon the right to display and discuss individual metrics across the team — creating transparency, accountability, and a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats environment where stylists can learn from each other’s performance data.“My team signs a sharing contract,” Perry explained to Salon Today. “This gives us the right to display or discuss all team members’ metrics to help other team members grow. This allows them the opportunity for growth, an example to follow, and confidence that they are on a good path.” That culture of openness extends throughout the salon. Cynergy Color Bar’s General Manager, Karla Patterson, was recently profiled in Salon Today’s “Meet the Manager” series and was also invited to speak on the Meet the Managers panel at the 2026 Salon Today Data Driven in Texas. There, Cyndy Perry praised her ability to balance operational precision with emotional intelligence. The team even pooled their own money to honor Patterson at the salon’s annual awards banquet — a moment that speaks to the depth of the relationships inside the business.Deep Roots in the Wake Forest CommunitySince opening its doors in March 2017, Cynergy Color Bar has become far more than a place to get your hair done. It has become a fixture in the Wake Forest community — a gathering place where clients build lasting relationships with their stylists and where the team treats every guest like a neighbor, not a number. The salon is a member of the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce and actively participates in local events, charitable initiatives, and community partnerships that reinforce its roots in the town.That community-first approach is reflected in the salon’s reviews. With over 378 five-star reviews on Google and consistently high ratings across Yelp, Facebook, and Birdeye, Cynergy Color Bar has built a reputation for genuine care that extends well beyond the chair. Clients regularly comment on the welcoming atmosphere, the personalized attention, and the feeling that every visit is designed around their individual needs. For residents of Wake Forest, Rolesville, Youngsville, and surrounding communities in northern Wake County, the salon has become the go-to destination for expert hair color, extensions, and precision cuts.Technology and Systems Powering the GrowthBehind the creative excellence at Cynergy Color Bar is a sophisticated technology stack that keeps the business running at peak efficiency. The salon uses Phorest for salon management and client retention, Vish for color management and waste reduction, and Trello for internal project management and training. The salon also partners with Fully Booked AI® for digital marketing, SEO, reputation management, and automated client communication systems — a done-for-you revenue infrastructure that helps the salon capture, convert, and retain clients without adding administrative burden to the team.This combination of premium salon software and AI-powered marketing systems has allowed Cynergy Color Bar to grow revenue significantly while maintaining the personalized, high-touch client experience the salon is known for. It is the kind of operational backbone that separates salons that grow intentionally from those that simply stay busy.Award-Winning Hair Color and Extension Services in Wake ForestCynergy Color Bar is Wake Forest’s premier destination for expert hair color, hair extensions, balayage, highlights, and precision haircuts. Led by Cynthia Perry, who brings over two decades of experience in color and extensions, the salon’s team of skilled hair colorists specializes in transformative color work using premium product lines including Goldwell, Goldwell Zero, Redken Shades EQ, and Pravana.The salon’s service menu includes classic all-over color, root touch-ups, balayage, foilyage, baby lights, vivid fashion colors, color corrections, hand-tied and tape-in hair extensions, precision haircuts for all ages. Each service begins with a personalized consultation to ensure the result reflects the client’s individual style, face shape, and lifestyle.As a certified Green Circle Salon, Cynergy Color Bar is also committed to environmental sustainability. The salon recovers and repurposes up to 95% of the resources that would normally end up in a landfill, including hair clippings, used foils, color tubes, and excess chemicals. For clients who value both premium results and environmental responsibility, Cynergy offers a rare combination of luxury and conscience.A Legacy of National RecognitionThe 2026 Salon Today 200 Growth award adds to an already impressive track record. Cynergy Color Bar has now been honored five times by Salon Today, including previous recognition in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (Business Builders). The salon has also been recognized by the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce, holds a 5-star rating across 378 reviews on Google, and has been featured in multiple Salon Today editorial profiles, including the recent “Meet the Manager” series highlighting the salon’s leadership team.For Cynthia Perry, the recognition is meaningful — but it’s the team that makes it possible. Founded in 2017, the salon has grown from Perry’s solo vision into a thriving 15-person operation that consistently punches above its weight class. In a 1,320-square-foot space, Cynergy Color Bar generates more revenue per square foot than many salons twice its size — proof that intentional leadership, smart systems, and a genuine commitment to craft can outperform sheer scale.Celebrating at the 2026 Data-Driven Salon SummitCynthia Perry and the Cynergy Color Bar team will be celebrated at a special awards dinner on May 17, 2026, in Austin, Texas, during SALON TODAY’s Data-Driven Salon Summit. The evening’s theme is “Your Time to Shine,” and honorees will enjoy a plated dinner and certificate ceremony. Six salons will receive special awards in specific categories during the event.Visit Cynergy Color Bar in Wake Forest, NCWhether you are searching for the best hair salon in Wake Forest, NC, looking for a skilled hair colorist near Wake Forest, or ready to experience a luxury hair salon that has been nationally recognized five times, Cynergy Color Bar welcomes you.Salon: Cynergy Color BarAddress: 1970 South Main Street, Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587Phone: (919) 804-0339Website: cynergycolorbar.comGoogle Business Profile: Find Us on Google MapsEmail: st200@lc.cynergycolorbar.comBook your appointment online 24/7 or call to schedule your personalized consultation today.About SALON TODAYSALON TODAY is a media brand under the Beauty, Health, and Wellness division of Bobit Business Media, headquartered in Torrance, California.

United States, - Sumi X is stepping into the national conversation with her new single “American Dream,” out May 15 and the first offering from her forthcoming EP American Tarot. “American Dream” is mid-tempo electro-pop built around a cool, controlled tension, until the chorus arrives and military drums push up through the mix, turning the song into something that feels like a eulogy and a call to arms at once. It is a song about the fading promise of America, and the quieter, more intimate war it wages on the women living inside it. “‘American Dream’ is a song about the death of the American Dream and the horrors happening in this country right now,” Sumi X says. “Some of those things are called out directly, like the ICE kidnappings in the bridge, but more broadly, the song is a place for people to feel less alone in what they’re feeling.” Reaching for the flag directly, the chorus asks, “Look at all the stars, have they lost their shine?” while the lyric “Do you have a dream? 'Cause I’m losing mine” carries the emotional weight of the record. The first verse doesn’t let anyone off the hook, examining the ways boys are conditioned from early on to expect women to be quiet, obedient, and grateful for the space they’re given. “I can’t leave her” closes the record, a small phrase carrying the full weight of its resolution. “That’s where the hope comes in,” Sumi X explains. “It means we’re not going to leave America and all it should represent. We’re going to fight. But we have a lot of work to do.” A creative reckoning drove the single into existence. After a decade of songwriting, Sumi X found herself unable to separate her art from the moment she was living in. “I got tired of writing heartbreak and dance-pop songs while so much chaos was happening in the world around us,” she says. “I felt like art should try to reflect the truth of the times we’re living in.” Born Sumi Krishnan in Pittsburgh, PA, Sumi X is a former tech CEO and 30 Under 30 honoree who walked away from a thriving business career to chase the dream she had been carrying the longest. The daughter of Indian immigrants who built their American Dream from the ground up, she grew up watching ambition operate without apology, and brought that same energy into the music industry. Now LA-based, her sound draws influence from Adele, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Olivia Rodrigo, among others. “American Dream” is available everywhere on May 15.

The Los Angeles singer-songwriter delivers the next chapter of the ROWE rollout with a dark pop single about power, access, and the price women pay for both United States, - Los Angeles artist and songwriter Kiki T releases "Rich Kids" on May 15, the lead single from Aqua Eterna, her dark summer pop EP and the next chapter in the rollout toward ROWE, a fourteen-track project due this fall. A project built on dark pop with cinematic atmosphere and a female-forward point of view, ROWE has been taking shape through deliberate releases since "Dopamine" opened the era earlier this year. "Rich Kids" is the sharpest statement yet: a character study written from the perspective of a young woman who has traded youth, time, attention, and freedom for proximity to wealth, set inside a world that taught her those were the only assets worth cashing in, built by a culture the song has no interest in letting off the hook. "Rich Kids" puts the main character inside a fantasy where nothing appears to have a price tag and she is quietly the one covering all of it. The men around her see her value in three dimensions, and there is something inherently temporary about that kind of existence. There is a limited window to secure anything real before the arrangement expires and she finds herself somewhere expensive and alone, still waiting for someone to pick up the bill. The track has a pretty dark origin story. "I was traveling through Europe one summer and ended up at the American Bar at Hôtel de Paris in Monaco," Kiki explains. "Monaco has this reputation for extreme wealth and high-end escort culture, and I sat there watching this older man invite three different women to his table over the course of the night. They were all competing for his attention and it honestly felt surreal." Underneath the character portrait is a harder question about desire itself. Youth, time, attention, and freedom are all currency in this world, not just money, and the trade only looks uneven in hindsight. Men are often told their value builds with age, power, and experience. Women are told theirs has an expiration date. When a woman's early education is that beauty, desirability, and proximity to the right people are her primary assets, "Rich Kids" asks what happens when she has not built anything outside of that model, and whether the life she has been chasing was ever something she actually chose. The track is also sitting with a loneliness the fantasy works hard to obscure. The world it describes looks full from the outside: access, proximity to money, men who notice you. Inside it, attention has been substituting for intimacy long enough that the difference is no longer obvious. That is the gap "Rich Kids" refuses to close. "In a screwed-up way, 'Rich Kids' is really about the paycheck women are taught to chase," Kiki T says. "The song plays with that fantasy, but underneath it's asking whether those desires are actually ours, or whether we were conditioned into them by systems built to keep power exactly where it already is." "Rich Kids" pairs dark pop production with lyricism sharp enough to cut through the gloss, a precise opening statement for Aqua Eterna arriving this summer. "Rich Kids" is available everywhere May 15. Aqua Eterna, coming soon. ROWE, coming fall 2026. ######## Laurelanne PR + MGMT is a music publication and full-service artist marketing platform built for women who know what they want and take it.
